Line 20:
If the person being held is injured, dead or dying, it may cross over into [[Pieta Plagiarism]]. Usually coexists with rescue tropes like [[Rescue Romance]] and [[Embarrassing Rescue]]. See also [[Hold Me]] and [[Security Cling]]. Contrast [[Over-the-Shoulder Carry]].
 
Not to be confused with [[Tribal Carry]].

Line 35:
* ''[[Kyo Kara Maoh!|Kyo Kara Maoh]]''
** There are a few times in which Yuri was carried and/or caught from falling a long distance like this. Probably because he's usually a male [[Damsel in Distress]] when he's not in Maoh-mode.
** And he gets to carry Wolfram this way one time during that one episode in the snowstorm.
* ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (anime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]''
** A [[Les Yay]] version in the aftermath of Nanoha and Fate's final battle in the first season, with Nanoha carrying the beaten Fate in this manner.
Line 44:
** The cover of Volume 14 features a magically aged-up Negi carrying Ako like this, but it's a rather tragic subversion, as Ako [[Loving a Shadow|falls in love with Negi's aged-up form]], while Negi is completely unaware that he's inadvertently leading her on. [[Love Hurts|It doesn't end well]].
** In chapter 345 Negi does this to Ayaka.
* In ''[[Nabari no Ou]]'', [[Ho Yay|Raikou catches and carries Gau like this once]], leading to a slew of hilarious fanmade avatars like this one [[media:Raikou_and_Gau_5792.jpg|link]].
* ''[[Naruto]]''
** In the beginning of the third ''Shippuden'' movie, Naruto does this to an injured [[Ho Yay|Sai]] after going back to help him.
Line 54:
** Ageha has done this to Amamiya a couple of times.
** In the Invasion arc, {{spoiler|Kabuto}} does this to {{spoiler|Future!Fredrica}}.
* Ranma from ''[[Ranma ½|[[Ranma One Half½]]'' carries people in this manner on occasion, most commonly Akane.
* ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'' (a.k.a. ''Samurai X'')
** In the first episode, Kenshin sweeps in to save Kaoru from a fake Battosai, and ends up sweeping her off her feet in this manner.
** Later in the Kyoto Arc, Yumi ([[Big Bad|Shishio's]] mistress) objects to being carried by Sano over his shoulder, so he asks sarcastically if she'd prefer to be carried bridal-style, using a straw dummy to demonstrate. (She doesn't.)
* In the first opening to ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei|Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei]]'', it briefly shows Nozomu holding [[Stalker with a Crush|Matoi]] like this. [[Surreal Theme Tune|It means nothing, though.]]
* Harima from ''[[School Rumble]]'' does this to Yakumo when he (mistakenly) tries to steal her away from a wedding, which is really a photoshoot.
* Sarutobi Sasuke does this three times in the ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'' anime: once in his [[Embarrassing Rescue]] of Kasuga (who gets so flustered that she ends up falling out of a tree trying to get away), again saving [[Ho Yay|Yukimura]] from an explosion, and thirdly rescuing {{spoiler|Oichi}}'s body from the castle before it's destroyed.
* In ''[[Skip Beat]]'', Ren does this to Kyoko because she sprained her ankle. The villain of the day, Ruri, is quite angry about it. So is Kyoko.

Line 87:
** Also happens to Akira on Shiki's route in the game. It's not quite as sweet, though, considering the carrier had just claimed the carried as his property.
* [[Ho Yay|Luka sometimes does this to Yuki]] in ''[[Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru]]''.
* At the end of chapter 47 of part 2 of ''[[Rosario to+ Vampire]]'', Miu Sai-Lung does this to Routier.
* ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'': A bonus strip for Christmas has America complimenting Lithuania on his stripping skills and then carrying him bridal style to Poland's house.
** Fanart for Hungary also include a gender reversal: namely ''her'' carrying Austria away bridal-style. Sometimes with Austria wearing the dress.
Line 125:
* Willoughby carries Marianne home like this after she sprains her ankle in ''[[Sense and Sensibility (film)|Sense and Sensibility]]''.
* ''[[The Glenn Miller Story]]'': [[James Stewart]] and June Allyson's characters do this of the bride & groom variety.
* In the 1998 ''[[The X-Files|X-Files]]'' movie ''[[The X-Files (film)|Fight the Future]]'', Mulder carries Scully towards the exit of the giant spaceship they're on in this way.
* ''[[Friday Night Lights (film)|Friday Night Lights]]'' had Tim do this with his newly-paralyzed friend Jason, just so Jason could be out of his wheelchair for a little while. Jason comments that maybe he should just have Tim carry him everywhere from then on.
* After Rocky marries Adrian in ''[[Rocky II]]'' he carries her all the way home from the church like this. When she tells him it's unnecessary he says its good for the arms.
* Batman does this to Rachel in ''[[Batman Begins]]''. The scene was also the basis for one of the film posters, in which it was not clear if Rachel was dying or merely unconscious.
* Done (with two guys, obviously) on the poster for ''[[I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry]]''. Bonus points for Kevin James wearing a fireman's hat.
* [[Played for Laughs]] in the [[Chris Columbus]] film ''Nine Months'', wherein Hugh Grant's character very nearly wrecks out his back carrying his very pregnant bride across the threshold.
Line 147:
* ''[[Benny Hill]]'' [{{[http|//www.dailymotion.com/video/xcuwz3_benny-hill-fat-bride-skit_shortfilms used it in a sketch}}. His character marries a girl who gains a lot of weight as soon as they get past the ceremony, and he can barely carry her over the threshold afterward.
* ''[[Friends]]''
** In the episode "The One After Vegas", Monica and Chandler have decided they aren't ready to get married, but keep seeing "signs" that they should. At one point, Monica's hurt her leg, so Chandler gathers her up and carries her into her appartment, before they realise what they're doing.
** Another episode had Ross and Rachel parodying ''[[An Officer and a Gentleman]]'': Rachel kept having to go back for stuff, so in the end Ross just dumped her on the couch.
** In "The One Where Phoebe Hates PBS", Chandler carries Monica into the hallway, but bangs her head against the doorframe.
Line 200:
* ''[[Wakfu]]'': Sadlygrove carries Evangelyne this way thrice: on their very first encounter in episode 2, then in Eva's dream in episode 20, and again for real in episode 24 after he saves her from [[Tentacle Rope|Desherboss]].
* ''[[Young Justice (animation)|Young Justice]]'': Kid Flash rescues Artemis from firing tanks in "Bereft" and carries her like this. She doesn't seem to mind. Then again, the two of them are suffering from [[Easy Amnesia]] at this time. Reset button in 3...2...1...
* ''[[Looney Tunes]]'': Pepe Le Pew carries Penelope like this when she faints from exhaustion in "Little Beau Pepe".
* [[Gender Inverted Trope|Gender inverted]] in the ''[[Total Drama World Tour]]'' episode "Slap Slap Revolution" where [[Genki Girl]] Izzy is seen carrying Noah around in this style after accidentally injuring him in a previous scene. True to his [[Non-Action Snarker]] status Noah is perfectly fine with being carried and none of the other contestants comment on the two.
* ''[[Kick Buttowski]]'': Brad pulls off a literal version of this in "Bwar and Peace", where he's seen carrying his [[Hot Amazon|Viking bride]] around after their wedding.
