Distracted by My Own Sexy: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[American Psycho]]'', ''during the porn film he's making with two prostitutes'', [[Villain Protagonist|Patrick Bateman]] manages to get distracted by his own sex appeal.

* In the [[Riff Trax]] for ''[[Casino Royale]]'', the guys make fun of Bond's prolonged examination of himself in a new tuxedo by invoking this trope.

 

== Literature ==

* In ''[[Power Rangers]]'', the [[Monster of the Week]] Octophantom had this weakness. To defeat him, they used a mirrored shield, causing him to stop his attack to admire himself. Earlier, a similarly-named monster named Octoplant was distracted by her reflection in a skyscraper, allowing the Rangers to kill her with the Power Sword.

* The Cat in ''[[Red Dwarf]]'' would often get distracted when he looked at himself in the mirror, commenting on how sexy and good looking he was. In one episode he claimed to be physically incapable of pulling himself away, and Lister had to drag him.

* ''[[Scrubs]]'' played it for laughs in an episode where narcissist Dr. Cox constantly falls in love (or at least pretends to) with his own mirror image.

* John Lithgow's character on ''[[3rd Rock from the Sun]]'', whose catch phrase was "My God! I'm [[Large Ham|GORGEOUS!]]"

== [[Video Games]] ==

* [[Final Fantasy VI|Kefka]], when engaging in a [[Mirror Match]] in ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'', utters this squicky little piece of gold:

* In ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 3|Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds]]'', [[Doctor Strange|Shuma-Gorath]] actually seemes pleased with his [[Mirror Match]] partner's physical appearance.

* Wear the [[Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater|Raikov]] mask in front of the actual Raikov and wait a little.

* A V5-ed Susan in ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' gets distracted by her own sudden-sexy in [http://egscomics.com/?date=2003-07-03 this strip]. [[Justified|Understandable]], as in addition to the [[Hello, Nurse!|appearance]] this form has a rather... unusual hormonal status, which she wanted to experience in the first place. She stood enthralled until [[Insulted Awake]]... and only the second attempt at that.

** [[Man, I Feel Like a Woman|Genderbent]] Sarah also has one of these moments [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2006-01-09 here], for a rare [[Inverted Trope|inversion]] of [[Man, I Feel Like a Woman]].

** Elliot did it on purpose (though [http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1178 not at the first attempt]), due to the theory that he will continue picking up girly transformations until he likes at least one):

{{quote|'''Elliot''': (as a goth girl) The world is cold, but this form is ''hot''.}}

* ''[[Eerie Cuties]]'': Ace ([[Gender Bender|while turned into a girl]]) gets distracted when placed before a mirror after being subjected to makeover by the local succubus in [http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/oooooh_boy this strip].

** Brooke when [http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/one_peek she walked into boys' locker room] wearing Ace's old boy's uniform has the same reaction.

* [http://www.viruscomix.com/page487.html This] ''[[Subnormality]]'' strip, panel eight. The recurring [[Ms. Fanservice]] character needs a ''40 minute shower'' after "regarding" herself.

* In ''[[Girl Genius]]'', after Lucrezia has just [[Grand Theft Me|hijacked]] Agatha's body, her thoughts are briefly interrupted when she finds a mirror.

* ''[[Misfile]]'': Ash comments early on that "if it weren't ''me'' in the mirror, I'd be pretty turned on about now." when trying on bras. Later she worries that the fact that she's no longer distracted by her own sex appeal is a sign that she's losing mascilinity.
