Line 51:
* ''[[The League of Gentlemen]]'' featured a man who started a massage parlor (with a [[Attractive Bent Gender|[supposedly] hot blonde woman]] as a front to improve business) and learned that all of his customers expected these. Still, a customer is a customer...
* Phoebe from ''[[Friends]]'' worked in a real massage parlour. Her idiot brother thought it was the other kind. [[Hilarity Ensues|Awkwardness ensues]]. Though she did once bite the arse of a guy she fancied, which implied that she'd be happy to do it for the right customer.
* They tried to bust one of these in ''[[Reno 911]]''. The Masseuse gave him a very painful and entirely non-sexual massage, and he determined that this place in not a [["Happy Ending" Massage]]. After he left, we find out that it is.
* Twelve-year-old Shane on ''[[Weeds]]'' gets in trouble at school for claiming that his uncle Andy bought him a [[Happy Ending]] at an Asian massage parlor. He is, in fact, being truthful.
* Carlos ''accidentally'' gives one of these while working as a masseur (his job while he was blind) on ''[[Desperate Housewives]]''.
* In the ''[[Supernatural]]'' episode "Red Sky At Morning", Dean mentions having a [["Happy Ending" Massage]] because, in his opinion, the supernatural object that he and Sam are looking for, a Hand of Glory,<ref>A hanged murderer's severed, preserved hand which is used as a macabre candelabra</ref>, sounds like a euphemism for one.
* In one episode of ''[[Las Vegas]]'', the staff struggle to find a tactful way to explain to the Montecito spa's new masseur that he is not supposed to be providing Happy Endings.
* In ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]'' Will takes Uncle Phil to a massage parlour so he can get relief for a back injury, unaware of the "special extras" they offer. The police break in just as the masseuses are about to give them their (well, not so much Uncle Phil's) Happy Ending.
