Anticipatory Breath Spray: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

A character believes the time has come for the big kiss from his [[Love Interest]].

To make the moment as perfect as possible, the character will spray breath spray into his mouth to chase off any potential halitosis issues before leaning in to kiss his intended.

Line 8:

This trope is often used comically, and the character spritzing breath spray is usually rebuffed.

[[Make-Out Point]] is a co-trope.

Line 20:

* In ''[[The Princess and the Frog]]'', Naveen does this with some perfume that's on the dresser with him after Tiana agrees to kiss him and break the curse.

* Inverted in ''[[Tootsie]]'' where John sprays his mouth ''after'' kissing "Dorothy Michaels". He does it straight later.

* At the start of the second ''[[Shrek]]'' movie, when it turns out the narrator is actually [[The Ace]]. When he talks about how he will kiss the princess to wake her up, in interjects his monologue with a spray.

Line 32:

* ''[[Family Matters]]'': In one episode, during a Dave Koz Concert, Steve and Myra do this just as they're about to kiss in one episode.

* Hilariously subverted in an early episode of ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' where Joel does this...before simply convincing the visitor (Mike Nelson playing Valeria) to leave them alone.

* In an episode of ''[[Full House]]'', a boy does this to tease Stephanie during a New Years party after stating an intention to give her a kiss. But as the moment of truth draws near, he starts to lose his nerve. Stephanie then turns the tables on him and even takes it step further by [[Yum Yum|slowly eating a peach]] (or at least as close as you can get with a pair of preteens) in front of him.

* An episode of ''[[Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide]]'' had the lead actor for [[Romeo and Juliet]] do this whenever he brought up the eventual kiss with "Juliet," Ned's [[Love Interest]]. It became a running gag in that episode.

Line 50:

* Raoul did it before getting a kiss from Browsia on ''[[El Tigre]]''.

* Wandissimo did it to himself, and then to ''Wanda'' in an episode of ''[[Fairly Oddparents]]''.

* Robin actually took a hit of breath spray, then [[Moment Killer|shot down the moment]] himself in ''[[Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo]]''.

* Vlad in ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' does this when Danny's mum is flirting with him.

** And ''Tucker'' does it just speculating on the ''idea'' of putting his mouth on a girl's. He's talking about mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Line 56:

* ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'': In 'Aroma Amore', after being greeted by Fifi La Fume, Furball does this after spitting out a fish he put in his mouth before embracing her with open arms.

* Professor Farnsworth on ''[[Futurama]]'' does this [[It Makes Sense in Context|when he thinks aliens are going to force him to mate continuously.]]

* In a ''[[~~Sixteen|~~6teen]]'' episode, Jonesy tries this with a bottle of perfume before trying to hit on a girl (He was working at a perfume counter at the time) and ends up regretting it when he finds it tastes terrible.

* In a ''[[6teen]]'' episode, Jonesy tries this with a bottle of perfume before trying to hit on a girl (He was working at a perfume counter at the time) and ends up regretting it when he finds it tastes terrible.

* In one "Screaming with Binky" quickie on [[Garfield and Friends]] (viewable [http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=MCUcvH9aSrA here]), Binky the Clown does this right before screaming at a cartoonist.
