What better thing for two characters bounding with [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]] to do when they get in an elevator together? Make out until [[Something Else Also Rises|the doors open]], of course -- whichcourse—which could be a while [[Locked in Aa Room|if the elevator gets stuck]]...

Sometimes preceded by an [[Uncomfortable Elevator Moment]]. Compare [[Born in Anan Elevator]].

* ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler (Manga)|Hayate the Combat Butler]]'' makes fun of this one. Hayate and Maria (she in a [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]) get into an elevator. While they do have [[UST]], Hayate's thoughts of whether he should confront her about having seen through the disguise are running through his head instead. Then the elevator gets stuck, and he knocks her to the floor accidentally while she's trying to fix it, just as Hinagiku (who he's about to rush headlong into [[UST]] with) gets the elevator working again in time to see.

* There is a chapter in the ''NGE'' fanfic ''Curious Rei'' where Shinji and Rei get into an elevator. When it arrives, Rei steps out and Kaji steps in. Elevator goes on... then [[Memetic Sex God|Kaji]] makes a grinning remark to Shinji that he [[Hyper Awareness|knows]] what happened, courtesy of his excellent observation skills. Specifically, he noticed Shinji's shirt is buttoned up wrong, his fly is not done up and -- becauseand—because those could be explained with getting up late -- thelate—the drop of liquid he tried to obscure with his shoe then [[What an Idiot!|looked down to make sure he caught it]].

* ''[[William Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet]]'' with [[Leonardo Di CaprioDiCaprio]] did this, during the ball scene where they meet.

* Played with in the Leslie Nielsen parody of ''[[The Exorcist (Film)|The Exorcist]]'', ''Repossessed''. A couple are enacting their own pun on "going down", when the elevator doors open. Linda Blair politely asks the man, "Are you getting off?"

* ''[[What's New Pussycat?]]'' Capucine and Peter O'Toole's characters agree the proper setting is essential, then promptly make use of an elevator. In the throes of ecstasy he assures her it's perfectly safe, so long as the combined weight of the two people does not exceed 1400 pounds.

{{quote| '''Georgia:''' ... I'm Going down.<br />

{{quote| '''[[Tomboyish Name|Alex]]:''' Have you ever done it in an elevator?<br />

'''Dan:''' Not recently, no.<br />

{{quote| '''Hope:''' That "stop" button looks pretty good.<br />

'''Karl:''' Unfortunately, if it stops for more than a couple of minutes, we'll be rescued by the building super.<br />

'''Hope:''' Had some experience with that, have you?<br />

'''Karl:''' On a job.<br />

* ''[[GreysGrey's Anatomy]]'': Surprisingly, Meredith Grey only got to first base in the elevator.

* In an episode of the remake (reboot maybe, not sure what it actually counts) of the series ''[[Cupid (TV)|Cupid]]'', this trope is invoked by a) giving the potential couple a gift basket before they get on the elevator, and b) having the security guard stop the elevator for several hours.

* In ''[[Farscape (TV)|Farscape]]'', during the pre-miniseries finale, Aeryn and John use this as their cover to investigate the Scarran supply of [[Upgrade Artifact|crystherium]] at the bottom of the elevator.

* Used in an episode of the French [[Sit ComSitcom]] ''Un Gars, une Fille'' where the title couple is stuck in an elevator. Neither really wants to do it (or so they say), but they still start taking off their clothes and making out in hope of invoking [[Finagle's Law|Murphy's Law]] -- that—that is, that they should get rescued as soon as they try going down in the elevator. {{spoiler|It works.}}

{{quote| '''Lois:''' Sometimes I swear you have more than two hands.}}

** In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', one of the places you can have your sims have sex is on an elevator. Not sure whether it's possible to do that [[Death Byby Sex|and have the elevator crash at the same time.]]

* Parodied in a section of ''[[Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors (Visual Novel)|Nine Hours Nine Persons Nine Doors]]'' when the main character and the female lead have to take a down lift together, but the lower ship decks are flooded. June is worried about drowning down there -- butthere—but a dialogue option you can choose makes the main character think she's worried about being in a small lift alone with a boy. Cue hilarious dialogue with the main character getting scared about dying of asphyxiation after the first time.

{{quote| Was... was that really how it happened? It occured to Junpei that perhaps that was how it worked... Perhaps he had been mistaken all these years. Had he misunderstood life so gravely? The thought terrified him.}}

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlg8gdfmWgA&feature=related Parodied] during a particularly scenic elevator ride in ''[[Bulletstorm (Video Game)|Bulletstorm]]'', when Grayson asks Ishi if he wants to snuggle out their woes "[[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?|in a totally hetero way]]".

* Subverted in ''[[Schlock Mercenary (Webcomic)|Schlock Mercenary]]'', where the chaplain gets trapped in an elevator for hours with the [[Hot Scientist|improbably-proportioned doctor who used to be an exotic dancer]]. They spend the next several hours telling each other their life's stories. Remember, kids, there are very good reasons not to take a vow of chastity, and this is one!
