{{quote|'''Lucy''': You know, there's this classic film called ''The Defiant Ones'', starring Tony Curtis and [[Sidney Poitier]]. It's about two prisoners – one black, the other white – and they escape handcuffed together...<br />
'''Brad''': And while they don't like each other at first, they come to respect and care for one another by the end.<br />
'''Lucy''': You've seen it.<br />
'''Brad''': No, but I [[Genre Savvy|know what you're getting at]]. And I don't want [[An Aesop|a moral lesson]] in tolerance and cooperation. I just want to get through the next couple of hours without committing murder.|''[[Hey, Dude!]]''}}
 
Line 36:
* Happened to Tsukune and Ruby in ''[[Rosario to Vampire]]'', with the twist that every time Tsukune used his powers, Ruby would get electrocuted. [[Too Kinky to Torture|She didn't mind]].
* A recent ''[[Naruto]]'' filler episode recounts an instance where the original Team Kakashi faced a gang of thieves lead by [[Captain Ersatz|Ninja Spiderman]](the guy even webswings in one scene). Naruto and Sasuke wind up with their hands webbed together for the remainder of the flashback. During the [[Hilarity Ensues]] scene of trying to seperate themselves, [[Ho Yay|they accidentally kiss...]] again.

* In an episode of ''[[Happy Tree Friends]]'' Handy and Mole are chained together by Lumpy who's acting as a highway patrol officer, eventually Mole dies and Handy has to drag his corpse around with him before he's hit by a train.
Line 194:
* One episode of ''[[Lilo and Stitch: The Series]]'' featured an experiment that binds incompatible individuals together with sticky blue goo. Among those who get stuck together are: Lilo and Mertle, Stitch and Nani, Jumba and Pleakley and Gantu and 625.
* Variation in the episode of ''[[South Park]]'' entitled "Super Fun Time". Cartman and Butters are paired up on a field trip and are told not to let go of the other's hand until they get back on the bus. Despite the many MANY hijinks that the pair get into (which include dangling on either side of a traffic light), Butters will not let go of Cartman's hand because Mr. Garrison said not to. It's like handcuffs, only without the handcuffs.
{{quote| '''Butters:''' ''(at the very end of the episode, after '''dragging Cartman's unconscious body''' past everyone)'' Teacher...MY PARTNER IS BACK ON THE BUS.}}
* ''[[Looney Tunes]]'', "D'Fightin' Ones" Sylvester the cat and a bulldog are chained together and on the run from the dog catcher in a direct parody of the above-mentioned ''The Defiant Ones''.
* ''[[Darkwing Duck]]'' spends an episode attached to his bumbling neighbor Herb Mudlefoot when contact with an [[X-Ray Sparks|electric fence]] causes their wristbands to weld together.
Line 212:
** This may be to do with an urban legend that doing so will break the handcuffs. If so this is not the first time it has been debunked, two British prisoners in the 1990s even admitted that was how they broke their arms.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owEB19QDbjU The exact same thing] happened to a trio in Ontario. It's been shown in both ''Police Videos'' and ''Most Shocking'' (the latter under the "Dumbest Criminals" episode, no less). The trio were being unloaded from a paddy wagon when they decided to bolt. Two went to the left, one to the right. They hit the pole; [[Hilarity Ensues]].

* [[Truth in Television]]. In the late 90s a British judge was faced with two pensioners whose feud had made nearby neighbors' lives miserable. He gave them a choice between jail or a number of hours per day handcuffed together for a month. They were smart enough to realise that settling their feud would be the least unpleasant choice.
