{{quote|''"Bros before hoes. I cannot stress this enough. Always remember, girlfriends come and go, but your boys are always there. Breaking this rule is to commit the cardinal sin against Team Testosterone."''|'''Barney Stinson''', ''[[How I Met Your Mother (TV)|How I Met Your Mother]]''}}
 
Your friend's pissed, lost and scared and just asked you for a lift but your girlfriend's telling you to blow him off. What do you do? Ditch the bitch of course.
Line 17:
* ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'': Quite literally when Kaoru gives up on his romantic feelings for Haruhi so that his brother, Hikaru, can realise his feelings for her so that he might learn to grow to be a little more independent.
* ''[[Soul Eater]]'': Soul and Black Star. Though not just hoes; anything really.
* ''[[WolfsWolf's Rain]]'': [[Easily Forgiven|Bros]] before [[Big Bad Friend|total and utter]] [[The Mole|betrayal]].
 
 
== Fan Fiction ==
* The ''[[Mass Effect]]'' [[Kink Meme]] gives us [http://masseffectkink.livejournal.com/585.html?thread=752457 this.] To say more would be to spoil it.
* ''[[Homestuck (Webcomic)|Homestuck]]'' fanworks have given us the phrase "[[Morality Pet|rails]] before [[Bizarre Alien Reproduction|pails]]".
* Simon repeats this phrase over and over to himself after he sees Kamina kissing Yoko in the satire of [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]].
 
Line 31:
* In ''[[Open Season]]'' it is phrased as the PG-friendly "bros before does."
* ''[[Con Air]]'': While Cyrus's gang refuel the plane, one of them is sent to hide the transponder on another plane. In the hangar he meets a female mechanic and is so busy talking to her that he misses the take and is shot while trying to catch up, explicitly dying because he chose to stay with the woman instead of returning to the bros.
* ''[[Saw]] 3D'' has two men in a trap with a woman who's been bedding them both [[Jerkass|and having them steal to get her what she wanted.]] One of the three will be killed by the trap, while the other two will survive. The woman ends up being the unfortunate one. [[Bros Before Hoes]], [[Incredibly Lame Pun|graphically]] portrayed.
* A rather extreme version from [[Clint Eastwood]]'s [[Bronco Billy]]:
{{quote| '''Antoinette Lilly:''' Have you ever been married? <br />
'''Bronco Billy:''' Sure. A long time ago. <br />
'''Antoinette Lilly:''' Did you love her? <br />
'''Bronco Billy:''' With all my heart. Sometimes that just isn't enough. <br />
'''Antoinette Lilly:''' What happened? <br />
'''Bronco Billy:''' I caught her in bed with my best friend. <br />
'''Antoinette Lilly:''' What did you do to him? <br />
'''Bronco Billy:''' I shot her. <br />
'''Antoinette Lilly:''' What! What about him? <br />
'''Bronco Billy:''' He was my best friend. }}
* Duncan and Charlie do all but cite this in ''[[Mystery Team]]''.
Line 51:
 
== Live Action Television ==
* ''[[House (TV series)|House]]'': "There is a code; [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHtJfMB5u60 bros before hoes man]"
* On ''[[Parks and Recreation (TV)|Parks and Recreation]]'', Leslie invents some feminine versions when Ann asks her if she can go out with Leslie's crush Mark:
{{quote| '''Leslie''': Oh Ann, I am so fine. As long as you and me are cool. You know my code. Hos before bros. Uteruses before duderuses.<br />
'''Ann''': Got it.<br />
'''Leslie'''. Ovaries before brovaries. }}
* On ''[[The Office]]''... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_GgARlPcYk&NR=1 just watch it].
* ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'': Sheldon, of course, gives us the [[Expospeak]] version.
{{quote| '''Sheldon:''' Howard has informed me that my allegiance be to male comrades before women who sell their bodies for money.<br />
'''Leonard:''' Are you sure he didn't say 'bros before hos'?<br />
'''Sheldon:''' Well, I changed the phrasing so as not to offend the hos. }}
** In another instance Sheldon's [[World of Warcraft]] account was hacked and they managed to trace the perpetrator. At the time Leonard was dating Raj's sister, Priya, and while everyone was set to track down their foe, Leonard was hesitant about stiffing Priya two nights in a row over this thing. This leads to Raj saying "Come on, Bros before [[Last -Second Word Swap|... my sister]]!"
* On ''[[30 Rock (TV)|Thirty Rock]]'' when Jack wants to put his girlfriend's needs ahead of company's he mentions he can't because the company has a strict "B's before H's" code.
* Ted pulls a non-gendered version in ''[[How I Met Your Mother (TV)|How I Met Your Mother]]'', dumping his girlfriend Karen after she told him he couldn't be friends with [[Like Brother and Sister|Lily]] anymore -- thisanymore—this is even after he got into a huge fight with Lily because she tried to underhandedly break him and Karen up.
 
 
== Western Animation ==
* The kid-friendly "pals before gals" is used on ''[[The Amazing World of Gumball]]''.
* Stan Smith gives this bit of knowledge to son Steve on ''[[American Dad (Animation)|American Dad]]''
* There's a song by fictional rapper Gangstalicious on ''[[The Boondocks]]'' called "Homies Ova Hoes", which details this trope with homoerotic subtext abound in the music video. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fzuXQF_wIU The look on Huey's face says it all.]
