Hug and Comment

"Faye: (Hugging Marten) Your armpits smell like daffodils."

- Questionable Content

Two people hug, then one of the two makes a comment, almost always about the other person, who will probably answer in an embarrassed way. The comment generally revolves around the hugged person's smell or some other awkward body feature.

A possible ending joke to a Golden Moment. Expect it from Platonic Life Partners or, in a more caustic tone, from Vitriolic Best Buds. If the comment is about the awkwardness of the hug itself, then it could involve Heterosexual Life Partners who have been expressing more than their usual mutual affection... especially if someone invokes Or Are You Just Happy to See Me

Anime and Manga

 * An interesting one from Pokémon 3, a little girl's dreams/wishes are coming true because of a Pokemon (including bad stuff), and when the heroes finally reach her at the top of her tower she hugs one of them (my memory gets hazy here) and says "I wanna wake up". That's in the English dub, anyway. In the original Japanese, she hugs and says "you smell of flowers" or something, so plot stuff happens due to the smell of flowers OBVIOUSLY.

Comic Books

 * In the Graphic Novel Persepolis, Marjane hugs her grandmother before falling asleep next to her, then asks the older woman how she kept her breasts so firm over the years.

"Ted: Marshall?
 * Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In "Becoming, Part 2" while in the hospital Xander pulls Buffy into a hug to hide her from two policemen walking by. Buffy jokes that it was partially so he can grab a feel, but Xander's lack of response to the jibe tells her that Willow has been injured. In "I Was Made To Love You" Xander gives a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming to Buffy which earns him a hug -- unfortunately Xander is strapped into a huge sumo suit which makes him totally immobile, causing him to moan, "Great, today's the day you chose to hug me."
 * In one episode of How I Met Your Mother, Ted hugs Marshall after finding out that Marshall got a job offer, but Barney turns on a porno in the middle of their hug, causing Marshall to comment "It feels weird to be hugging when there's porn on" and the two of them jerk away from each other.
 * Subverted in another episode, where Ted and Marshall are entwined together for warmth in a blizzard, and Marshall, sure he's going to die, is rambling about Lily:

Marshall: Yeah?

Ted: Are you still thinking about Lily?

Marshall: Yeah...

Ted: Please stop."
