''"[[Defensive What|What?!]] Oh yeah, like I'm the only one thinking it."''|'''Duke Devlin''', ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series]]''}}

** 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.

*** 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.

* 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.

* In ''[[Ai Yori Aoshi]]'', Tina and Kaoru are forced to spend a night in a love hotel (chaste, since they're [[Just Friends|only friends]]), on account of rain and having missed the homebound trains. While Kaoru is asleep, Tina silently debates with herself about kissing him. Judging from her thoughts the next day, she went through with it several times (and seemed alternately happy, but regretful at taking advantage of him). Kaoru didn't notice.

** 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.

* 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.

* This was an actual story arc in the beginning stages of [[Grant Morrison]]'s run on ''[[Doom Patrol]]''. A villain named Red Jack, who may or may not be both [[God]] and [[Jack the Ripper]], kidnapped comatose Rhea Jones and planned to marry her.

'''Red Jack''': Admittedly, her conversation ''is'' a little dull. But then again, love conquers all. }}

 

** "{{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..."

"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."

* ''[[Weekend at Bernies]]''. Only here they have a gender role-reversal, and the guy is freaking DEAD.

* Not a kiss, per se, but in ''[[The Boondock Saints]]'', Rocco can't resist the opportunity to cop a feel of the breast of a stripper who fainted when the brothers break into a private dance room to kill a sleazy mid-level crime lord (played by Ron Jeremy, no less).

'''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.

== Newspaper Comics ==

* [[Krazy Kat]] has kissed Ignatz in his sleep a few times.

 

 

** That spoiler up there is an [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]; [http://somethingpositive.net/sp01262003.shtml read the whole arc, if you dare!]

** Given a continuity nod later on when Kim pulls Davan into a supply closet:

'''Davan''': "Consenting." }}

** From the same site, we have this little [http://www.rhymes-with-witch.com/rww05022011.shtml reinterpetation] of Sleeping Beauty.

* Referenced in [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=421 this] ''[[Questionable Content]]'' strip.

** Also in ''[[Questionable Content]]'', Faye [[Dead Baby Comedy|jokes about]] removing Sven's brain, but keeping the brain stem, turning him into a living sextoy, after he cheats on her.

'''Faye:''' Aw, you're no fun. }}

* [http://www.menagea3.net/d/20090418.html This] ''[[Ménage à 3]]'' strip.

** She then breaks up with him for another man. ''While still in the coma''.

* Carl in ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'' remembering a Foreigner concert he attended:

* Subverted in ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]''. In an episode where everyone except Jimmy is in hibernation, he goes into Heloise's room to try and wake her up. After failing, [[Ship Tease|he reads a book she was holding saying that a sleeping girl can be awakened with a kiss]]. He looks at Heloise a moment...then tosses the book aside, muttering that you can't believe everything you read.

* ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' did a skit where a bird overlooking Prince Charming attempt to kiss Snow White (or maybe it was Sleeping Beauty) starts yelling "Date rape! Date rape!"
