Line 18:
Do not confuse with an elevator [[Elevator Failure|plummeting to the bottom of the shaft]], or an elevator whose destination [[Hellevator|is much further down than anyone would want to go.]]

* The [[Hentai]] anime ''[[Kininaru Kimochi]]'' is entirely about this trope. Three episodes, three explicit cases of Elevator Going Down.
* ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler (Manga)|Hayate the Combat Butler]]'' makes fun of this one. Hayate and Maria (she in a [[Paper
== Fan Works ==
* 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 -- because those could be explained with getting up late -- the drop of liquid he tried to obscure with his shoe then [[What an Idiot!|looked down to make sure he caught it]].
== Films -- Live-Action ==
* ''[[The View
* The movie ''Class'' has a young man and his roommate's mother having a sexual encounter in a glass elevator.
* ''[[The Matrix]] Reloaded'' featured this pretty straight-up. Neo and Trinity are in the elevator along with Link and the Kid; as soon as the latter two leave, the make-out session begins.
Line 64:
** Yes, but it became such a [[Running Gag|Running Joke]] that the creators felt the need to awkwardly insert an elevator gag into the pilot of ''[[Private Practice]]''.
* One episode of ''[[Frasier]]'' has Frasier and his boss trapped in his building's service elevator after agreeing they wouldn't pursue a relationship. The elevator also contains [[Cold Turkeys Are Everywhere|all the possessions of one of the other tenants, a romance author, including a music box that plays romantic music, poster-sized versions of her book covers, musk oil and a double bed]]. They just about manage to resist temptation.
* ''[[
* 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.
* There was a period on ''[[General Hospital]]'' where this happened all the time, to the point where anytime uninterested people where in the same elevator, they gave each other odd looks.
* 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.
** Well, the scene IN the elevator was more of a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] when Crichton uses the private moment to teach Aeryn how to dance.
* Used in an episode of the French [[Sit Com]] ''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 [[
* Lois and Clark in the 9th season ''[[Smallville]]'' episode "Charade".
{{quote| '''Lois:''' Sometimes I swear you have more than two hands.}}
Line 76:
* In one of the last ''[[Deep Space Nine]]'' episodes, after some major flirtation, Bashir and Ezri end up making out in the turbolift on the way to Ops. When they get there (and they keep kissing) a bemused Worf sends them back down rather than interrupt them.
* In an episode of ''[[Law and Order Special Victims Unit]]'', Munch and Fin are watching security tapes of an elevator. When the camera cuts to them, one of them remarks "this is the tenth couple making out in the elevator."
* ''[[The Good Wife]]'': {{spoiler|At the end of the season 2 finale, Will and Alicia almost casually decide to resolve their [[Will They or Won't They?|WTWT]] and take a room at a hotel.The ride to the presidential suite starts off as an [[Uncomfortable Elevator Moment]] and gradually turns into this with every stop.}}
* In a ''[[Veronica Mars]]'' episode, Veronica's classmate Madison Sinclair and Sheriff Don Lamb are filmed in a passionate embrace in a hotel elevator. Keith and Cliff proceed to turn it into a hilarious blackmail campaign flyer with the slogan "18 - It's Legal! Re-Elect Don Lamb"
* On ''[[Judging Amy]]'', Kyle and Lily repeatedly have sex in the hospital's elevator, to the annoyance of their co-workers.
Line 95:
* 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 -- 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]]".
