Livin' it up when I'm goin' down<br />
Love in an elevator<br />
Lovin' it up 'til I hit the ground''|'''[[
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 -- which could be a while [[Locked in
Sometimes preceded by an [[Uncomfortable Elevator Moment]]. Compare [[Born in An Elevator]].

* The [[Hentai]] anime ''[[Kininaru Kimochi]]'' is entirely about this trope. Three episodes, three explicit cases of Elevator Going Down.
* ''[[
Line 36:
* ''[[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.
* Two students trapped in an elevator during a blackout is the inciting action for the whole plot of ''100 Girls''.
* ''[[William Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet]]'' with [[Leonardo
* Played with in the Leslie Nielsen parody of ''[[
* ''The Secret of My Success'' ends on one of these. Then again, this was also referring back to the running gag of the main character using the emergency stop on the elevators to give him a chance to change from mailroom-boy to hot-shot executive. [[Uncomfortable Elevator Moment]] was fully used too.
* ''[[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.
* Subverted for laughs in ''[[Night Watch|Day Watch]]''. The protagonist Anton, while in the airport, needs a private place to swaps back bodies with his colleague Olga ([[It Makes Sense in Context]]). Finally they tuck into an elevator and perform the ritual, which just happends to be accompanied by some rattling and moans. Then the doors open and out come tousled Olga and ''very'' content Anton who just for good measure readjusts his zipper. The look on the face of some Asian woman waiting for the lift is priceless.
* ''[[Smokin Aces]]'' references this. One of the main characters [[It Makes Sense in Context|who is dressed as a hooker]] is waiting for an elevator. When the doors open, three heavily armed half-naked [[Those Wacky Nazis|skinheads are struggling into their clothes.]]

** 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.
* ''[[Herman's Head]]''. [[Handsome Lech]] Jay and his [[The Vamp|female counterpart]] Heddy have this trope very much on their minds when they're stuck in an elevator together. First they talk about how much they despise each other and so they're not going to do it, then they start boasting of their varied sexual experiences, then they start making out passionately. Of course, that's the moment when the firefighters break in.
* In an episode of the remake (reboot maybe, not sure what it actually counts) of the series ''[[
* 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 ''[[
** 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 [[
* Lois and Clark in the 9th season ''[[Smallville]]'' episode "Charade".

** 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
