The [[Villain]] has the lovely damsel [[I Have You Now, My Pretty|right where he wants her]]. His plans for her at this point will likely involve putting her in [[Go-Go Enslavement]], [[Post-Rape Taunt|demonstrating his superior sexual prowess]], and possibly giving her a [[Sadistic Choice]] [[Scarpia Ultimatum|between preserving her virtues and preserving the life of that insufferable do-gooder she calls her true love]]... '''but first, it looks like she could do with a nice hot bath!''' He has his servants (hot maidservants usually, or failing that, eunuchs) take her away to be cleaned up and groomed properly. Bonus pervert points if he then watches them [[Fan Service|strip and bathe her]] via [[Palantir Ploy|hidden camera]], two-way mirror, [[Crystal Ball]], or the like.
Line 24:

* Andrew Waltfeld has this done to Cagalli in ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' after an assassination attempt on Andrew left Cagalli with food all over her. It doesn't have villainous overtones, however: although Andrew {{spoiler|is Cagalli's sworn enemy, he pretends he doesn't know who Cagalli is or that she's after his life, and was actually being genuinely affable; not surprising, given the [[Grey and Gray Morality]] of the Gundam franchise}}.
* The Obsidian Lord orders his female [[Dragon|Dragons]] to [[Les Yay|do this]] to Mai after he's done using [[More Than Mind Control]] on her in the manga version of ''[[Mai-HiME (

* In the ''[[Naruto]]'' fanfic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2923653/1/Duty_Before_Honor Duty Before Honor]'', Sakura is subject to this when she goes undercover to retrieve a vase from a [[Dirty Old Man|dirty old pervert]]. Unfortunately, {{spoiler|this washes off most of the poison she smeared over her body to protect herself from said pervert}}.

* [[Evil Genius|Dr. Satan]] does this to his ''literally''' [[Unholy Matrimony|unholy bride]] before their wedding in ''[[The Haunted World of El Superbeasto]]''.
Line 60:
* ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084469/ Paradise (1982)]'' had a fairly straightforward example of this trope, though it seems contrived mainly so that the [[Villain Ball|villain's incompetence]] would keep him from having his way with the heroine before her heroic boyfriend could rescue her.
* In the Film ''[[Prince Valiant]]'', this happens to Lady Jane. She is bathed by the other captured princesses.
* The Colonel orders this done to the two Mexican girls he intends to rape in ''[[The
* In the campy 1980 classic ''[[Flash Gordon (
Line 71:
* Inverted in the [[Anne Rice]] novel, ''[[Blackwood Farm]]''. After being kidnapped by Petronia, Quinn Blackwood awakes to find a pair of servants bathing him in preparation for his vampiric conversion. They even go so far as to give him a haircut and a shave before bringing him before Petronia. The rest of the event unfolds in a less pleasant fashion as Petronia has Quinn fight her in a hopeless battle for his own life where Quinn eventually attempts a [[Groin Attack]]. Petronia then {{spoiler|forces Quinn to fellate her hermaphroditic penis, which he does...just before he bites down hard. The blood from that bite is what eventually forces Quinn into vampirism.}}
* Functions as a semi-important detail in the novella ''The Wager Lost by Winning'' (part of [[John Brunner]]'s ''Traveller in Black'' series), where the rather unsympathetic protagonist is bathed before being claimed by Lord Fellian.
* ''Fool's Fate'', the last book of [[Robin Hobb]]'s ''[[
* In ''[[The Hollow Kingdom]]'', Kate gets this treatment right before {{spoiler|her wedding to the goblin king.}}
* Another male example is [[Orson Scott Card]]'s novel ''Hart's Hope'', when Orem is prepared for his first meeting with Beauty.
* In ''The Baker's Boy'', Melli is at one point captured by one of the Big Bads and offered a bath, which he subsequently watches through a hole in the wall with delight.
* In George R. R. Martin's ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire|The Sworn Sword]]'' it is sarcastically noted that the name of this trope could just as well have been the personal motto of the late and infamous womanizer king Aegon the Unworthy.
* ''The [[

* When {{spoiler|Amara}} of ''[[Codex Alera]]'' is captured by {{spoiler|Brencis Kalarus Minorus}}, he [[Brainwashing|collars]] her and taunts/questions her, complete with maidservant doing the washing, while she's being cleaned in the bath. This being a [[Jim Butcher]] work, though, of course {{spoiler|it's actually a ploy, as she made herself immune to collaring by being pre-collared by her husband/spy-partner around her thigh, hiding it under her pants, and went into the situation expecting to probably be captured so that she can get close enough to make a (successful) attempt on Brencis' life}}.
* In ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'', [[Complete Monster|Ramsay Bolton]] takes this to the next level with his bride. He's a bit of a hygiene freak, and has her constantly bathed.
Line 91:
'''[[Stephen Fry]]:''' Actually, don't bother to have him scrubbed. }}
* Arms dealer Mezentius says this in the ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]'' episode "The Path Not Taken", instructing his guards to have a female captive "bathed and perfumed and brought to my chamber".
* The Japanese ''[[Hana Yori Dango]]'' has the [[Ordinary High School Student]] kidnapped, drugged, bathed, and dressed in couture and jewelry, in order for the [[Big Man
** This is also used in the Korean [[Adaptation]] ''[[Boys Before Flowers]]'', but [[Captain Oblivious|he thinks she's secretly in love with him]].
* This happened in the ''[[Robin of Sherwood]]'' episode ''The Betrayal'' in which Prince John repeats the trope almost word-for-word in regards to Marion, telling her she'll be bathed, scented, dressed in Byzantine silk, and brought to him.
Line 99:
== Music Videos ==
* In the [[Motley Crue]]'s music video "Too Young to Fall in Love", a young, dirty homeless woman is taken in by some kind of secret underground kung fu clan. She is then bathed to look presentable for the leader.
* Something like this appears to be happening in the video for [[
