Line 121:
* The ''[[That Guy With The Glasses]]'' fandom has been making the Critic the Distressed Dude ''long'' before he got captured canonically. Mostly justified, seeing as how the fics usually also have [[Ask That Guy With The Glasses|Ask That Guy]] in power and that usually means no happy fun times for the Critic. But other times it's just because he's so very pretty when suffering.
* In the ''[[Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers|Galaxy Rangers]]'' story ''Chrysalis'', Niko was the only one who managed to escape the [[Supervillain Lair]]—meaning she had ''three'' Distressed Dudes to rescue on a return trip.
* How much ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' fan fiction has either Aragorn or Legolas in danger, kidnapped, tortured or out of commission so the other has to rescue him?
* Parodied in this [http://www.whofic.com/viewstory.php?sid=22384 adult but fairly cracky] ''[[Doctor Who]]'' fic. The Doctor's tendency to get tied up/handcuffed/etc. by the villain of the week means bondage no longer does anything for him.
* In the ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'' fanfic ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120430135825/http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7435466/1/Touch_and_Go Touch and Go]'', {{spoiler|Balthier gets kidnapped, and almost succeeds in freeing himself.}}
