Here's an example of emotion that follows the Schachter-Singer Theory of Emotion. In this episode of The Simpsons, Homer starts putting money into a jar whenever he swears. He tries his best to hold in his emotion, but as you'll see there's a point where you just can't control it anymore.
This follows the "Two-Factor" theory because we have the painful stimulus and arousal, followed by Homer's appraisal of the situation and his colorful show of emotion.

Wouldn't have thought of it that way but I'll go with it, I like that explanation. And I love that episode. -Britta
