This is a kissing trope most common in anime and manga; the setting is a bedroom, or simply a place to rest, and two characters, one often harboring unrequited feelings for the other.
Line 16 ⟶ 17:
Frequently used in [[Shojo]] series and [[Shonen]] love comedies, where the girl's vulnerability seems irresistible to the male character. This trope is fairly gender-equitable, though, as girls are also prone to this urge. In [[Real Life]], it is known as somnophilia.
[[Sister Trope]] to [[Converse
Contrast [[Kiss of Life]], which is often mistaken for this.
{{examples|Examples}}▼
== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Hot Gimmick]]'': On one occasion, Hatsumi passes out drunk next to Ryoki. He takes this as an invitation to start groping and stripping her.
* In ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', Tuxedo Mask finds a drunken, passed out Usagi (who took booze by mistake while infiltrating a ball). Knowing exactly what to do with a [[The Drunken Sailor|Drunken Sailor]], he kisses her. A later episode in the series seems to acknowledge it as well when Usagi asks Mamoru if he remembers their first kiss. Mamoru suddenly acts very awkward and pretends he can't remember. (Given that [[Death Is Cheap|he had died once or twice]] between these events, he may really not remember.)
**
** In the most recent{{when}} adaptation, ''[[Sailor Moon Crystal]]'', the scene is maintained, but sightly changed changed to Usagi still transformed being asleep for her exertion in the battle when Tuxedo Mask kiss her. It also adds Luna appearing and confronting Tuxedo Mask for this, albeit it a mix of "why are you taking advantage of a passed out girl?" and "What side are ''you'' with?"
* Parodied in ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya
** In the novels and the rerun added episodes, this scene is slightly less humorous: Tsuruya and Haruhi spiked Mikuru's drink in order to 'improve her acting', which Kyon realizes from Mikuru's lack of resistance; he refuses to keep filming, and it's the only scene in the series where he becomes seriously angry with Haruhi, to the point of almost [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|socking her in the face]] without realizing it before Koizumi stops him.
** In the [[Gag Sub]] The Adventures of Yuki Nagato, "the narrator" directly references this trope.
{{quote|
*** Or, in the words of Yuki Nagato (sort of) herself: "You weren't going to kiss her, were you? 'Cuz she's unconscious. That would be really weird."
** Mikuru actually invokes this trope ''on herself'' in Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody. After she and Kyon travel back to [[Arc Words|three years ago]], she falls unconscious. Her own future self appears and tells Kyon what to do. As a reward she says that he can kiss her (still unconscious) younger self if he wants to. I'm sure a lawyer, a philosopher, and a quantum physicist could have great fun getting drunk and discussing the ethical implications of this scenario.
* ''[[
** She herself attempts to do this to Shungo, and possibly other things. Except he defends himself against her ''while he's sleeping''.
* ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew]]'': Happens more than once, and always with an [[Intimate Healing|explanation]]. However, even without said explanations, they're treated as some of the most romantic moments in the entire series .
* In ''[[Blade of the Immortal]]'', Rin is harboring a reverse [[Bodyguard Crush]] for her bodyguard Manji, so when he passes out after a particularly exhausting adventure she takes the opportunity to plant one of these on him.
* ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch]]''
* Subverted in ''[[Naruto]] Shippuden'' 68 as Fuka gave Naruto a "Kiss of Death" while he was unconscious. Then he woke up and was observing that blood in her hair was still there and then Naruto pulled her hair later which lead to her defeat. (Her age is unknown so I assumed that she lived for a long time).
* "Slayers Next": Zelgadis, due to being 1/3rd Golem (he's also 1/3rd Demon and 1/3rd Human) is forced to become a ship's 'anchor' in order for Lina to catch a lake dragon. This, however, does not go very well the first few times, and Zelgadis ends up unconscious and seemingly drowned. However, at Amelia's suggestion of administering CPR, we see that Zelgadis is in fact, awake, or had just awakened, due to him blushing at the scenario of Amelia planting her lips on his, even if it's to save his life... however, when he cracks his eyes open, instead of Amelia, it's the elderly Chef who is about to administer the 'kiss of life', and he lays one right on poor Zelgadis.
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'': Shinji deliberates on kissing Asuka when she sleepwalks into his bed. He eventually changes his mind when she calls out for her mother but that doesn't stop Asuka from accusing him of doing it.
** She did not "accuse" him of doing it. She told she was joking, and when his answer implied he had kissed her, she was shocked and appaled.
** Reversed (and a common cry by the audience) in ''End of Evangelion'' when Shinji doesn't kiss her but instead {{spoiler|[[A Date
* In ''[[
** Considering the silhouette flashbacks of Shizuru undressing, the implication is that she did a bit more than kissing.
*** It is under heavy debate whether that was a flashback or a visualization of the worst possible case. The writers have [[Shrug of God|refused to elaborate.]]
Line 55 ⟶ 56:
** Chapter 253 plays it straight with Natsumi about debating about whether to kiss a sleeping Kotaro. She {{spoiler|actually tries to do it, but gets interrupted by Haruna.}}
** And of course, in 286 Chamo tries egging on ''four'' different girls to do it at once, {{spoiler|two of whom have a crush on him}} while in front of Chisame. [[Brick Joke|But an innocent Yuuna claims getting a pactio from him while he's asleep would be boring and cowardly.]]
* Played for laughs in the ''[[Excel Saga (
* In ''[[Kannazuki no Miko]]'' Chikane kisses an unconscious Himeko as a "birthday gift".
** Of course Himeko fades into conciousness just when this occurs, but fades back out more or less right away.
** Happy birthday...
* Subverted beautifully by ''[[
** In Ch. 360 of the manga, Hayate himself appears to be doing this to Hinagiku after she falls asleep in his room. Thankfully it wasn't Nagi who walked in so he was probably able to explain that he was simply moving her someplace more appropriate for her to sleep.
* ''[[Angel Sanctuary]]'': Setsuna kisses Sara in her sleep. It's bonus points, as they happen to be [[Brother
** This is also a subversion, in that Sara was really awake but pretended to be asleep because she wanted Setsuna to kiss her.
* In ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'''s first arc, during the time in which Yuusuke was technically dead (although his inert body was given pseudo-life in order to preserve it), Keiko has to kiss him in order to revive him in a kind of spiritual CPR.
** Before that, Keiko almost kisses his unconscious body while he invisibly and fervently protests, but is interrupted by an announcement from the Neighborhood Watch Committee that kicks her back to her senses.
{{quote|
* In ''[[
** Tina and Aoi have each kissed a sleeping Kaoru on several occasions, starting [[Toy Ship|when Aoi and Kaoru were toddlers]]. Aoi usually told Kaoru about it afterward. Tina, [[Cannot Spit It Out|for whatever reason]], didn't.
** Also, those [[Bedmate Reveals]] indicate that the girls living in the manor have no qualms about entering Kaoru's room, climbing into his bed, and cuddling up with him - all while he's fast asleep.
* When Souichi in ''[[The Tyrant Falls in Love]]'' becomes so drunk that he forgets to lock the door to his bedroom before going to sleep, Morinaga decides that this is the perfect opportunity to steal a few kisses from him. Souichi's murmuring of Morinaga's name in his sleep only stimulates Morinaga into performing increasingly more explicit actions...until Souichi wakes up. Cue [[Armor
* In the manga ''[[Happy Hustle High]]'' Yasuaki kisses Hanabi when she's passed out drunk, thinking "She looks so innocent... guess she feels safe around me. Her mistake!" She actually told him she loved him while sleeptalking. On the other hand, the 'waking up naked under the same blanket' bit was just a prank played on them by a friend who didn't approve of them skipping school to play video games.
* In ''[[
* Ayane in ''[[
* Gender-flipped in ''[[Mazinger Z]]''. Kouji Kabuto is seriously injured after he has an actually ''serious'' fight with his partner Sayaka (they usually have [[Slap Slap Kiss]] fights, but this one gets worse) and she refuses to back him up in battle. A grief-stricken Sayaka takes care of him in the hospital and later kisses him in his comatose sleep.
** Played straight in the manga version penned by [[Gosaku Ota]], when {{spoiler|Boss}} kissed an unconscious Sayaka before leaving for battle, thinking he was going to die.
Line 84 ⟶ 85:
* Subverted in ''[[Detective Conan]]''. {{spoiler|Takagi looked like he was passed out during file 637, a bit before Sato kissed him. He was perfectly conscious afterward. The Shonen Tantei Dan had used the excuse that Takagi had just taken medication before, so Sato and Takagi actually got to kiss, instead of the usual issue where they almost kiss, but always fail.}}
* In the [[Manhwa]] ''[[Threads of Time]]'', [[Ax Crazy|Sali Tayi]] doesn't really kiss the coma-induced Sa-Lum so much as he just out-and-out rapes her. Even his own soldiers pretty much have a "Dude, she's like, in a coma!" moment. And he wonders why [[Tsundere|Atan Hadas]] doesn't like him...
* In ''[[Hidamari Sketch]]'', [[Lovable Sex Maniac|Yoshinoya-sensei]] can be stopped just ''barely'' before she kisses Hiro, who is unconscious after she severely bumped her head. Of course, given [[Romantic Two
* Happens in ''White Album'' when Touya falls asleep during his tutoring gig. His student almost kisses him when he's asleep (in a cute little attendance to detail she actually pulls back her pigtails to keep them from brushing his face).
* In ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', Kaname [[Almost Kiss|almost kisses Sousuke]] after he fell asleep when she finished cutting his hair. She restrains herself, however, because she felt embarrassed that she would want to take advantage of him in his sleep. So instead, she stops herself by [[Tsundere|dunking his head in water]].
** Tessa, on the other hand, has no qualms about trying to take advantage of Sousuke while he's sleeping. The first time, she actually ''does'' manage to sneak into his bed. The second time, however, she's shown to quietly try to sneak to him, only to be caught by Mao (who proceeds to handcuff herself to her, so as to make sure she doesn't try anything funny with Sousuke while he's unconscious).
** Tessa also tries to kiss him in ''Fumoffu'' when he was dragged unconscious out of the school pool after belly-flopping in to try and save her. She loudly and dramatically declares that he needs CPR and as she leans in to put her mouth to his, Kaname pulls her back by the hair and angrily points out that he doesn't need it.
** While in ''The Second Raid'' OVA ("The Battlegroup Commander's Sort of Boring Day") Mao is seen [[Les Yay|groping Tessa's breasts]] after she'd passed out from drinking too much. [[Girl
* In ''[[Girl Friends]]'', Mari first kisses Akko after Akko unexpectedly falls asleep.
** This happens again near the end of the series.
Line 96 ⟶ 97:
* In ''[[Hana Kimi]]'', {{spoiler|after Sano [[Rescue Romance|rescues]] Mizuki from [[Attempted Rape|being raped]], they fall off a cliff and Mizuki sprains her ankle. Later, she develops a bad fever and passes out. Sano kisses her while she's unconscious and takes care of her until help arrives.}}
* In ''[[Ichigo Mashimaro]]'', when Miu convinces the group to dress up and sneak into Matsuri's house on Christmas Eve to "preserve her innocence", Nobue finds Matsuri's sleeping face irresistible ands moves in for a kiss, only to be slapped out of it by Chika.
* In ''[[Please Teacher
** Mizuho kisses Kei for the first time while he's in a standstill and therefore unconscious.
* In ''[[
* In ''[[D.N.Angel]]'' (manga only) Dark tries kissing Risa who's in bed with a fever only to get caught by Riku. To be fair he was probably using [[Intimate Healing|healing magic]].
* Hayate from the ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' Sound Stages shamelessly [[Skinship Grope|takes advantage of Signum's breasts]] while the latter is asleep, to save Signum from being embarrassed if she asked her.
* Happens in ''[[Bleach]]'', when Orihime visits a sleeping Ichigo {{spoiler|before departing to Hueco Mundo.}} She confesses her feelings, [[Almost Kiss|leans in to kiss him]], but in the end is unable to do it.
* Kozue in ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'' leans over Miki (who has fallen asleep at the piano) and kisses him, presumably on the side of his face due to his position. She's interrupted by Anthy. Bonus: later in the episode, she tries to kiss a conscious Miki, who jumps back repulsed. Maybe because, you know, [[Twincest|they're twins]].
* In episode 6 of ''[[Seikon no Qwaser]]'' a Russian soldier was willing to rape an unconscious Sasha when he thought he was a girl and even after finding out he's a guy he says while smirking "That's alright." Thankfully he didn't get the chance to do so.
* Ironically, [[Yamato Nadeshiko|Sango]] from ''[[Inuyasha]]'' does this to her dying fiancé [[Handsome Lech|Miroku]]. While he lies unconscious after being poisoned and his [[Curse|Wind Tunnel]] threatens to kill him, a grief-stricken Sango kisses him and asks him not to die before leaving to fight the [[Big Bad]] since [[No Ontological Inertia|killing him]] is the only way to save Miroku's life.
* One of the first things to [[Apple of Discord|drive a wedge into the]] ''[[Litchi Hikari Club]]'' is not simply the fact that Dafu intends to free their captive Kanon, but the addition of ''masturbating over her comatose body''.
* Female on male version in ''[[Nodame Cantabile|Nodame Cantabile Finale]]. Tanya steals a kiss from Kuroki while he's sleeping.
* A near female to male version happens in '' [[Clannad (
* ''[[Gunslinger Girl]]'' (manga). Hilshire is shot during an operation and his cyborg Triela has to remove the bullet. Triela has just discovered the details of her [[Snuff Film|tragic past]]; realising she's a [[Morality Chain]] to her handler Triela decides to walk out on Hilshire after he passes out from the shock. She's unable to do so, rushing back inside the room and kissing Hilshire whilst making an [[Anguished Declaration of Love]].
* ''[[Dengeki Daisy]]'': Kurosaki plants one of the on-the-cheek variety on Teru while she's in bed ill. She's only half unconcious, but she's woozy and feverish enough to not recognize him, and it's implied she may have fallen asleep again anyway right after she finishes speaking to him and before he kisses her.
* In ''[[Fractale]]'', {{spoiler|Phryne}} kisses Clain in his sleep in Episode 9... right before she leaves to return to the temple in an attempt to stop the conflict between the temple and Lost Millennium.
* The second episode of ''[[Ah! My Goddess
* Played for [[Squick]] in ''[[Berserk]]'' when {{spoiler|the King of Midland begins molesting his daughter, Princess Charlotte, as she lay sleeping. He then proceeds to undress and tries to rape her. She woke up to this part, fought him off, and ran away home.}}
** Later on in the manga, {{spoiler|this almost happens to Casca post-Eclipse due to Guts succumbing to his [[Super
** And again when Guts saves Casca from a nasty fall: as she lays unconscious in their makeshift shelter, he briefly thinks about nailing her and blames himself for it right after.
* In one episode of ''[[Tokko]]'', Sakura kisses an unconcious Ranmaru before joining him in his [[Battle in
* Happens more than once in ''[[
* In one chapter of ''[[Rosario
* ''[[Ranma
** Also, Kodachi. She has tried to kiss [[Attempted Rape|(and do more than kiss)]] him while he's unconcious and while he's immobile. All instances due to paralysis powder or some other potion of hers.
** Kuno once attempted to kiss Akane while she was unconcious and kiss [[Attractive Bent Gender|"the pig-tailed girl"]] after she passed out.
== Comic Books ==
* In the [[Alan Moore]] ''[[Miracleman]]'', Dr. Gargunza repeatedly ''rapes'' the unconscious form of Miraclewoman to show just what a [[Complete Monster]] he is. Later, she wakes up thinks it's utterly laughable just how petty a man Gargunza was.
* In the ''[[Buffy]]'' season 8 comics, Buffy is put into a magical sleep that she can only be roused from by the [[True
* In ''[[Deadpool|Cable & Deadpool]]'' #12 Deadpool and The Fixer enter Cable's house and find that the members of the mercenary team Six Pack are there, standing like statues and trapped in a telepathic conference with Cable. Fixer proposes taking advantage of the situation by looking down Domino's shirt, but Deadpool wonders why he would bother when there are fake images of her on the internet. Fixer than wonders which of them is more pathetic, himself for wanting to grope an unconscious woman, or Deadpool for not wanting to. Deadpool gleefully claims it's himself.
* A rare male example: [[
* Sara Pezzini from the ''[[Witchblade (Comic Book)|Witchblade]]'' comics was knocked up by [[The Darkness|Jackie Estacado]] while in a coma. Then again, he wasn't in control of his body either..
* Rose Walker is the result of this in ''[[The Sandman]]'' series. The imprisonment of Dream causes several people across the world to fall asleep indefinitely. One of these is a woman who is a Vortex (like a Black Hole of dreams). Dream's sibling Desire fathers a daughter by this unconscious Vortex, and ''her'' daughter takes her Grandmother's place as the new Vortex.

* Perhaps the earliest instance of this in film is in Erich von Stroheim's ''[[Greed (
** That '''was''' in the novel (''[[McTeague]]'', by Frank Norris, 1899) too.
** ''[[
* Western example: ''Kevin and Perry Go Large''.
* An extreme version of this trope is also seen in ''[[Kill Bill]]'' when the Bride wakes up from her four-year coma, traumatized to see her missing pregnant belly {{spoiler|only to discover that she was raped repeatedly while unconscious by her hospital orderly who was also in the middle of pimping her out and finding out in that conversation that she can no longer have any babies. She proceeds to take vengeance on both the guy's latest "customer" and then the orderly himself when he comes back to check on his buddy.}}
Line 156 ⟶ 154:
** "{{spoiler|Your name is Buck...right? And you came here to fuck...RIGHT?!}}"
* In ''[[The Fifth Element]]'', Korben kisses an unconscious Leeloo, who interrupts it by putting a gun to his temple. Apparently, she's not that much like in a coma. "Okay, okay, that was a mistake..."
{{quote|
"Uh- 'never without my permission!'" }}
* Averted in ''[[The Holiday]]'': Amanda wakes up to a hangover and Graham making her breakfast, and asks if anything happened last night. Graham says no, and Amanda wonders why, thinking she might have made a fool of herself. Graham tells her, "Call me old-fashioned, but one does not have sex with women who are unconscious."
* A particularly creepy example occurs in ''[[Terminator]] 2'', when an asylum guard licks Sarah Conner's face while she is (he thinks) catatonic. He pays for it later.

*** They had to reshoot the scene a number of times, because of his uneasiness about hitting her with his nightstick. It was a physically demanding scene, and that was her revenge for his screwing it up and making her do it over and over.

* The Spanish-language film ''Hable con ella ([[Talk to Her]])'' involves this. A man whose girlfriend was recently injured and fell into a coma meets a male nurse who works at the clinic whose own girlfriend is also in a coma. {{spoiler|The nurse never actually met her before her injury - he's a [[Stalker

{{quote|
'''Rocco:''' ...I'll tip her! }}
* The trope is quoted almost verbatim in [[Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind]] when Elijah Wood's character tells his associate that he stole a pair of a girl's panties while she was unconscious during one of their memory-erasing house calls. There's an awkward silence, after which they both laugh hysterically.
* In ''[[
* Played with twice in ''[[Kiss Kiss Bang Bang]]''. Harmony fals asleep at a party and Harry stumbles upon her as a man is feeling up her thigh. Harry challenges the man to a fight, only to get beaten up and learn that the man was Harmony's date. Later on, she faints and Harry notices a spider crawling around her cleavage. Harry tries to swat the spider away, but wakes up Harmony in the process, causing her to think that he was groping her.
* In ''French Kiss'' (1995), the French thief/smuggler tries to search Kate while she is asleep on a train. He kinda sorta accidentally kisses her while she is dreaming of her boyfriend. She wakes up refreshed and in a positive mood. This is a romantic comedy, so the scene isn't meant to be squick.
Line 176 ⟶ 174:
* Happens at a party in ''[[Dead Poets Society]]'' between one of the boys and a girl he's been pining after. I don't recall how the girl felt, but her [[Jerk Jock]] boyfriend was ''pissed''.
** Note that in the book, all three were awake during this.

The fact that his actual first time turns out to be with a transsexual is probably a case of [[Sexual Karma]]}}.
* The made-for-TV movie ''She Woke Up Pregnant'' is about a sleazy dentist who rapes his patients when they're under heavy sedatives after performing dental surgery on them, and the main character is a woman who winds up pregnant because of this and decides to fight back.
== Literature ==
* Done when Eragon looks upon Arya in the first book of ''[[The Inheritance Cycle]]'' while she is passed out. Sure, he never does anything (nor is it hinted that he'd do anything) it's still disturbing how he looks at someone who has been poisoned and can only think "Wow, she still looks pretty hot for a torture victim!"
** And lampshaded because he feels embarrassed to catch himself thinking that. Combine this with an [[Intimate Healing]] scene and remind yourself Eragon is a [[Hormone

*** In the original version of the story, she actually ''was'' dead, and stayed that way. However, because the king (not prince) is the king, he's magical and manages to get her pregnant. But she stayed dead.
** And of course, again in [[Sleeping Beauty]], where the above reviving kiss was ripped off from. {{spoiler|Although some interpretations make it even worse than poor Shinji... as it isn't so much a kiss as much as a rape and forced pregnancy, and it is one of her twin babies suckling at her thumb that removes a splinter and awakens her. Also, he's already married.}}.
*** {{spoiler|To an Ogre. That wants to eat Beauty and her children.}}
*** {{spoiler|I believe that version is usually called ''[[Sun, Moon, and Talia]]''}}
** The whole thing was much more messy in [[Neil Gaiman]]'s "''Snow, Glass and Apples''". [[Squick|Much more messy]].
** Seriously though, if every curse needs a loophole ([[Curse Escape Clause|and apparently they do]]), isn't this a brilliant one? How many Necro Princes can there actually be?
Line 210 ⟶ 207:
** On a less... squicky note... [[Star Wars|Luke Skywalker]] kissed [[Expanded Universe|Mara Jade]] while she was sleeping. Don't worry, he kissed her while they were both conscious [[It Was His Sled|by the end of the book.]]
*** On the [[Lighter and Softer|extreme lighter and un-squickier]] end, Luke actually wakes Mara up from a trance by saying "I love you, Mara."

The kiss was both out of love and out of hope that a remnant of the poison would still be on his lips, thus killing Juliet. She has to use Romeo's dagger in order to finally end it.
** Romeo also kisses Juliet when she's unconscious/seemingly dead as his final act before committing suicide.

* ''Take a Girl Like You'' by Kingsley Amis. {{spoiler|Jenny Bunn's would-be boyfriend date-rapes her while she is drunk and passed out.}}
* Ryel Mirai can't resist kissing his unconscious theoretically-love interest in Carolyn Kephart's ''Wysard''. (Resisting any woman isn't his strong point, but most of the others are actively trying to seduce him.)
* Carolyn Chute's ''Merry Men'' has a disturbing version of this. The main character's wife has to have surgery to remove a brain tumor, but she comes out of it brain-damaged and functioning at about the level of a two-year-old and has to be taken care of by her family. Over the course of the book, the husband repeatedly sneaks into his mother-in-law's house and has sex with his wife. It's broadly hinted that the [[Writer
* In the first book of the [[Amelia Peabody]] series ''Crocodile on a Sandbank'' Amelia comes out of a swoon to feel herself being tenderly held and kissed by her not yet husband Emerson with whom she has a [[Slap Slap Kiss]] relationship going. Not only is she totally fine with it, she shams unconsciousness for a few more minutes to prolong the moment!
* In the ''[[Dragonriders of Pern]]'' novel Dragonsdawn, most of Sallah Telgar's children were conceived by her seducing her husband while he was half-asleep and unable to do anything but go along. The exception was their first child (Which was the reason they got married in the first place), which was conceived by her getting them alone and serving him a meal liberally spiked with aphrodisiacs.
Line 226 ⟶ 223:
* In true [[A Song of Ice and Fire]] style, this is taken to an extremely [[Squick Squicky]] level and even genderswapped. [[Unlucky Childhood Friend|Lysa Tully]] has sex with [[Magnificent Bastard|Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish]] when he was on the brink of death and in a hallucinating, semi-conscious state from a feverish wound. Oh and the time before that, he was passed out from having [[Drowning My Sorrows|drunk too much]] after being rejected by Catelyn.
* In the third [[Anita Blake]] novel the main vampire character Jean-Claude has to mark the main character before she dies of a monster snake bite. From what one character says it looked like Jean-Claude was struggling with the temptation of having 'his way' with her when she was topless and out cold.

▲== Live Action TV ==
* In the ''[[
▲* In ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'', Sam finds an unconscious Kara and kisses her several times; this was actually a fairly heartwarming instance considering Sam had spent the last four months not knowing if she was even alive. Later when Sam is actually in a coma Kara kisses him and even crawls into bed with him; it is still heartwarming but also a major tearjerker since earlier in the episode the doctor flat out told her he was unlikely to ever wake up.
▲* In the ''[[Firefly (TV)|Firefly]]'' episode "Our Mrs. Reynolds," when Inara found Mal unconscious from [[Drugged Lipstick|Saffron's poisoned kiss]], she kissed him on the lips - mostly in a panic - resulting in paralysis at a most inconvenient time, since some of the lipstick was still on his lips.
** This trope is further played for laughs as the paralysis causes Inara to realize the depths of Mal's stupidity and curse him for it as she falls unconscious. Inara's denial of said unconscious kiss after everything is "fixed" is further played for laughs due to Mal's cluelessness in general when it comes to women.
** "[[Anywhere but Their Lips|That's why I never kiss 'em on the mouth.]]"
* In an episode of ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'', one man mentions to his friends that he's having a sexual relationship with one of his patients that he feels conflicted about. Since you're on this page, you can figure out the punchline to this story on your own.
* In ''[[United States of Tara]]'' the gay son, Marshall, has the friend he's been crushing on over to his house to watch a movie that was assigned for English class. The friend falls asleep and Marshall works up the nerve to kiss him. His friend wakes up, and kisses him back.

** Another L&O episode had these couples using drugs for sex. The wife would take something, which would knock her out, and then her husband would have sex with her unconscious form.

** Played with in "End of Days" when Gwen kisses Jack's dead-for-days body to say goodbye. (Though he then proceeds to revive).
* Subverted in an episode of ''[[Cheers]]''. Sam is alone with a passed-out Rebecca and whispers to himself, "do it!". He proceeds to... dress her up in a bandito costume and draw a moustache on her face.
* Sue White ''impregnates herself with Mac's sperm'' when he's in a coma in ''[[Green Wing]]''. Caroline is also seen kissing him and trying to lie next to him.
* Monica and Phoebe in ''[[Friends]]'' faun over a guy they both like who is in a coma.
** Another episode of Friends had Chandler reveal he kissed a drunk Rachel at a party to get back at Ross for going out with a girl he liked. Ross then reveals that the night of the party was when he first kissed Rachel, while she was unconscious underneath a pile of coats. Subverted in the revelation that he didn't kiss Rachel, he kissed [[Brother
*** Which leads Chandler to exclaim 'This is what I married into?!'
* In the Japanese drama ''[[Shokojo Sera]]'' (a remake of ''[[A Little Princess]]''), this was done by both Sera and Kaito but both weren't on the lips. Kaito did it first to Sera on the forehead, while he and [[Beautiful Dreamer|a sleeping Sera]] were waiting for a bus. Sera would do it to [[Sleep Cute|a sleeping Kaito]] on the cheek when she was forced to leave the academy.

*** Even worse, if you take the obvious action and kill her, you end up dead. So [[Family
*** There "is* an option to shake her awake, which actually makes sense under the circumstances, since you've just found out that she's not the Big Bad, but rather the person keeping the Big Bad from going kill crazy on the entire area. So it's not so Family Unfriendly after all.
