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.
