* The King.
** ''[[The Burger King]].''
** "Oh dear lord, please tell me we didn't..."
Line 25:
== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'': Back when Ryoko was still the [[Sealed Evil in a Can]] from Granpa's Shrine, Tenchi barely escapes her with his life, only to find her in his bed when he gets back home.
* ''[[Steel Angel Kurumi]]'' does this the first night Kurumi's at Nakahito's house.
* ''[[Medabots]]'', the old TV show, has the main character's ''mother'' crawl into bed with him. Freaks him right off the futon. Turns out she read it in a magazine article about how to get kids awake in time for school. There's also advice about how to get kids to do chores/help out around the house.
* Used for opposite the usual reason in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Striker S]]''. The scene opens with [[Les Yay|Nanoha and Fate]] [[There Is Only One Bed|apparently alone on their big, fluffy bed]] with nothing but their nightclothes on. Then, as Nanoha wakes up and sleepily watches Fate, their bed cover twitches, and she opens it to reveal that [[Has Two Mommies|Vivio]] was also asleep between them.
Line 49:
* Happens to Rito in ''[[To Love Ru]]'' with multiple characters, most notably Lala.
* Happens at the end of volume 2 of ''[[Moyashimon]]'', where [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot|Hazuki wakes up next to Aoi]] after a night of [[What Did I Do Last Night?|drunken revelry]].
* Used dramatically rather than comically in ''[[Gun X Sword]].'' [[Celibate Hero]] Van is shown waking up after a battle, apparently alone. Then it's revealed that he is sleeping beside his main traveling companion, Wendy. It's a subversion of the trope, in that the two are actually in separate twin beds, but since the beds have been pushed together, it looks as if they are sharing a bed.
* In episode 9 of ''[[Infinite Stratos]]'', Ichika wakes up to see someone in bed with him...turns out to be {{spoiler|Laura, who happens to be completely naked}}. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
* In ''[[Fate/stay night]]'', Shirou awakens after the battle with Berserker to a lecture from Saber. However, they are both interrupted by a muffled, "Keep it down!" Shiro lifts his futon's covers to discover [[Token Mini-Moe|Illya]] not only sharing his bed, but clinging to him very tightly. Rin is not amused when she hears about it.
* Early on in ''[[Bleach]]'', Ichigo wakes up after getting knocked out by Byakuya in Urahara's shop....with Tessai laying directly on top of him with his face a couple inches away.
* In ''[[Papa no Iukoto o Kikinasai!|Papa no Iukoto o Kikinasai]]'', Sora has a habit of moving close to Yuuta even when she's fallen asleep, so it's a case of both of them getting a surprise when they wake up. The way she moves while clinging to Yuuta makes you wonder what kind of dreams the girl is having...
Line 59:
* ''[[Doonesbury]]'': During a Gulf War-era R&R cruise, B.D. is awakened by an enthusiastic buddy who says he won big during the night. He asks B.D. (quoting from memory), "How about you, how did you do?" And a voice in the bed next to B.D. answers "Pretty good".
* Happens to Spider Jerusalem in ''[[Transmetropolitan]]'', complete with the common plan to chew off his own arm to escape without waking his surprise bedmate. She rolls over, flings an arm over him, and he adds chewing ''her'' arm off to the escape plan. [[Oh Crap|Then the cat walks in...]]
** In a later issue he scares the hell out of Channon by lying down next to her and waiting for her to wake up.
* There was an old ''[[Little Nemo]]'' strip where Nemo wakes up, thinking his dream has ended, and to his suprise sees Flip in bed next to him, meaning he's still dreaming.
* ''[[Little Ego]]'' has a similar scene where Ego wakes up, only to discover that the woman from the harem she had be dreaming about is in bed with her. Her partner sleepily tells Ego to come back to bed, cuing her real wake up.
Line 70:
** Later, he finds both Kanae and Yuki. And now they decided to cycle through all of the girls...
* In the ''[[NCIS]]'' fanfic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5654113/1/ Backfired]'', Gibbs and McGee wake up hung over and naked in a bed in a cabin in the middle of nowhere with no memory of the previous night. On the nightstand is a grainy photograph of them having sex. Turns out, {{spoiler|it was staged in the setup of a blackmail attempt (which ultimately fails).}}
* In the ''[[The Best Night Ever]]'', Prince Blueblood waking up next to Rarity signals that the [[Groundhog Day Loop]] he was going through is finally over.
Line 77:
** It's the slick voice coming out of the lifeless prop head that makes it funny. Every time.
* In ''[[The Grudge|The Grudge 2]]'', Miyuki starts berating her boyfriend for tickling her feet under the blankets. It was not the boyfriend.
* ''Ray'': Ray Charles (played by Jamie Foxx) is sitting in bed, preparing a heroin fix. Someone knocks at the door, saying his wife is on the phone. A woman sits up from behind him and asks, "Is this the wife?"
* At the end of ''[[Groundhog Day]]'', Bill Murray wakes up to the same godawful Sonny and Cher song as always, then Andie MacDowell reaches over him to shut off the clock radio, demonstrating that tomorrow has finally come.
* Kitty in ''[[Chicago]]'' comes home and is in her vanity. Her boyfriend is asleep alone in bed amongst rumpled sheets. Then in the mirror she sees not one, but two women stretching to snuggle up with him. [[Your Cheating Heart|Violence]] [[Murder the Hypotenuse|ensues]].
* Done in ''[[Airplane!]]'' with the wife of one of the characters receiving a phone call about her husband. She turns to her lover to tell him that she needs to go, there's juice in the fridge and he can let himself out the back door. He is a [[But You Screw One Goat!|horse]].
** The basic outline of this gag was actually stolen from ''[[Duck Soup]]'', a movie made 47 years earlier.
* ''[[Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow]]'' (2004). After an [[Outrun the Fireball]] moment, [[Hot Scoop]] Polly Perkins wakes up naked in a bed next to the equally naked hero (Joe Sullivan). An embarrassed Polly tells him to turn around, which a grinning Joe does, only to find he's also in bed with their naked male guide.
* ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]'': Eddie unfolds his bed and lies down to take a nap, only to find that Roger is already sleeping in it. They both jump out screaming.
* ''[[The Three Musketeers (1973 film)|The Four Musketeers]]'' has D'Artagnan (Michael York) waking up in bed with Milady. And then he spots something she doesn't want him to see and she comes after him with a [[Awesome but Impractical|glass dagger filled with acid]].
Line 102:
* ''[[48 Hrs.]]'': During the beginning of the film after the opening credits end, we see a close up of a sleepy Jack Cates lying on his pillow. Then the camera pans back revealing Elane Marshall [[Sexy Shirt Switch|who is wearing Jack's blue shirt]].
* ''[[The Rebound]]'' subverts this- when Aram wakes up a hungover Sandy, she immediately assumes they slept together. They hadn't {{spoiler|yet}}.
* The first story in the Japanese horror film ''[[Kwaidan]],'' "Black Hair." The samurai returns home to the innocent wife he abandoned, and they spend the night together. The next morning, {{spoiler|he wakes up to find that he has been sleeping with a corpse in a state of very advanced decay.}}
* ''[[Ernest Scared Stupid]]'' uses the horror variation, when a little girl checking for monsters under her bad finds a hideous troll in bed next to her when she finishes.
* In ''[[Kiss Kiss Bang Bang]]'', Harry is catching up with his [[Childhood Friend Romance|childhood crush]] at a party. Immediately cut to the next morning when he finds himself in bed with her initially antagonistic friend.
Line 111:
* One of the few tropes [[Neil Gaiman]] has ever played straight. In ''[[Anansi Boys]]'', [[Known Only By His Nickname|Fat Charlie]] wakes up after his father's wake with a serious hangover and a nude woman he has no memory of meeting. Turns out she just helped him home.
* [[Robert Heinlein]]'s ''To Sail Beyond the Sunset'' opens with protagonist Maureen waking up in bed with a cat she knows (Pixel, familiar to readers of ''The Cat Who Walks Through Walls'') and a dead man she doesn't know.
** On the subject of ''The Cat Who Walks Through Walls,'' Richard goes to sleep with Gretchen on one side and Xia on the other, then wakes up to find himself in bed with Pixel (licking him enthusiastically), Minerva (whom he kisses enthusiastically), and Galahad (whom, after a pause, he also kisses enthusiastically).
* The first book of the [[The Helmsman Saga|Helmsman Saga]] has the protagonist wake up in the morning and find his lover next to him. As a variation, she woke him up when climbing in and they had quite a night together - it's just that, upon waking up, he believes it was [[All Just a Dream]] until he actually finds her there.
* In the [[Show Within a Show|Novel Within A Novel]] ''[[The Liar Novel|Peter Flowerbuck]]'', this occurs between a man and a young prostitute he had intended to set free.
Line 122:
* In the final season of ''[[Slings and Arrows]]'', [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Richard]] wakes up, turns to one side, and sees that he's in bed with an actress from the musical he's producing. Next episode the same thing happens with the same actress ... but then Richard turns the other way and discovers [[Bi the Way|the musical's (male) writer.]] {{spoiler|This was just one way of showing Richard's final [[Face Heel Turn]] to the [[Dark Side]], and by the finale he's been fully seduced by [[Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll|Sex Drugs and]] [[The Musical|Musical Theater.]] }}
* Happened in the season 4 finale of ''[[Friends]]''. It's early morning, Chandler's in bed, Ross runs in, ecstatic about his wedding, and he runs back out. Then Monica pokes her head out from under the covers and says "Do you think he knew I was here?" Thus began Chandler/Monica.
** Also from ''[[Friends]]'', Chandler ended up on a blind date with Janice, who he's dumped twice in the last three months. The next morning, we see him wake up, with two hands on his chest. A third hand comes into shot, rubbing his eyes. He looks down at the two hands on his chest, then -- with mounting horror -- over at Janice in bed next to him..
** Additionally Ross and Joey wake up together on a sofa after having a nap. It's played off in the manner of the two drunken guys version.
* How the episode "Last Night Gus" began in ''[[Psych]]'' with Lassie waking up on the couch in the Psych office on top of [[Cloudcuckoolander|Woody the Coroner]]. The rest of it however fits perfectly
* During the 2008 Oscars Ceremony, [[The Daily Show|Jon Stewart]] [[Dream Within a Dream|wakes up next to]] a series of actors, finishing with George Clooney, who gently reassures him that it's not a dream and that he needs to go do the awards ceremony. Stewart doesn't seem that upset about the bedmate.
* ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Star Trek the Next Generation]]'' features this. Picard wakes up with Q next to him, who goes on to talk about how "now, everything has changed". [[It Makes Sense in Context]], but...
** In ''[[Star Trek: Voyager|Star Trek Voyager]]'', the scene is given a bit of a [[Continuity Nod]] when Q does it to Janeway (except this time the indecent proposal is more serious). Janeway is [[Get Out!|not amused]].
Line 134:
* Subversion: A hilarious ''[[Man Woman]]'' sketch had Nick Frost wake up to find a woman in his bed, gasp in horror, get dressed and sneak downstairs. On the way down he sees a wedding photo of the two of them, and is even more horrified at his presumed drunken antics. Then, at the bottom of the stairs, he runs into his 8-year-old son and it all comes flooding back...
* The much-loved episode of ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'', the "Pineapple Incident", has this as a premise. The comedy is stretched out as the girl Ted wakes up with isn't revealed until much later in the episode.
** Not to mention in World's Greatest Couple, Barney wakes up next to {{spoiler|Lily}}, hilarity ensues.
*** {{spoiler|They didn't do it by the way}}
* In one episode of ''[[Ashes to Ashes]]'', Alex Drake dreams she's in bed with an unseen man, whom she can't quite remember, but assumes to be Evan White because of the attraction she feels toward him. The dream is revisited in flashbacks throughout the episode, and at the end, the man is actually revealed to be {{spoiler|Gene Hunt}}, much to [[Unresolved Sexual Tension|Alex's surprise]].
Line 155:
** Also played with when Allison and Carter fall asleep together in Carter's bed, and wake up the next morning, no sex involved.
* In the cold open of one ''[[Boston Legal]]'' episode, we see Denny Crane wake up in bed... next to Alan Shore. They both immediately freak out although they have slept together in the past, most notably when Denny helped Alan deal with his night terrors.
* Happens in one episode of ''[[Living Single]]'' with Kyle and Max.
* Happens in the Series 2 finale of ''[[Drop the Dead Donkey]]'' between Alex and Dave, much to both their horror, after a drunken Christmas party.
Line 176:
== Web Comics ==
* ''[[Boxer Hockey]]'': Chuck [http://boxerhockey.fireball20xl.com/?id=66 gets one of these] Much to [http://boxerhockey.fireball20xl.com/?id=67 his delight].
* ''[[Least I Could Do]]'': Rayne wakes up on January 1 hungover from a wild New Year party, and a voice behind him asks "Are you going to turn around?" Luckily for him, that voice is that of Cyndi Wang.
** Happens to him again in [http://www.leasticoulddo.com/comic/20090619 this strip]: "Not the sandwich I wanted to be the meat of"...
* [http://www.shortpacked.com/2008/comic/book-7/05-pedostache/a-89/ A variation] in ''[[Shortpacked]]'': {{spoiler|We ''expect'' a bedmate, but it's actually two different beds. With [[Jerkass|Mike]] in ''[[Rule of Funny|both]]''.}}
Line 197:
== Western Animation ==
* ''[[South Park]]'' has a variation with Eric Cartman and Ben Affleck. Well, Ben Afflek and Hennifer Hlopez (no, [[I Thought It Meant|not]] ''[[I Thought It Meant|that]]'' [[Jennifer Lopez]]), who happened to be possessing Cartman's hand at the time. Except not. [[It Makes Sense in Context]]. ...[[Makes Just as Much Sense in Context|Well, not really]].
** Then there's "[[Interspecies Romance|An Elephant Makes Love To A Pig]]";
{{quote|'''Chef:''' They'll wake up soon, and it's gonna be one ''ugly'' sight.
