So you've come across a sleeping or unconscious person, and you feel a bit playful. Maybe you've knocked them out in battle and want to lower their ego a few notches without further physical damage. Or maybe your friend pulled a prank on you earlier and you want retribution.

As any regular, or friend of a regular to heavy drinking parties would know, this is a rather obvious case of [[Truth in Television]]
{{examples}}
==
* In one of those anti-drug PSAs, a girl passed out on the couch gets drawn on and used as a puppet by her "friends" to mock how dumb she is, and then said friends ditch her to go back to the party.
Line 90 ⟶ 93:
* In both the book and the film versions of ''[[Narnia|The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe]]'', Edmund rather tackily scribbles a mustache and glasses on a lion that's been turned to stone.
* This not only happens to the heroine in L. M. Montgomery's ''Emily Climbs'', but she has reason to suspect her best friend of the deed.
* In the [[Discworld]] novel ''[[
** Vetinari had the printer's plates for the book destroyed and the existing copies hidden away to ensure that ''nobody else'' would learn the lesson either.
* In ''Deep Secret'' by [[Diana Wynne Jones]] there's a scene at a party at an SF convention where several people are drawing on a handsome, almost naked guy who's drunkenly fallen asleep on the stairs. One of the artists is a magic user whose doodles constitute a spell designed to lead the guy to her bed later.
* In a [[Kate Daniels]] novella, Andrea's love interest Raphael knowingly overexerts his [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|magic]] and passes out, when he could have stayed in his [[Beast Man|warrior form]] and answered her questions. Annoyed that he's avoiding her (and irritatedly wondering if he expects her to admire his naked body) she gets a Sharpie out and doodles on his face. Instead of being annoyed, though, Raphael thinks it's funny and takes her teasing as a sign that she returns his romantic interest.
== [[Live
* ''[[Cheers]]''. Sam does this to a dead drunk Rebecca, doodling a Mexican mustache and beard on her, then putting a pancho and a sombrero on her head as she dozes.
* In the ''[[Friends]]'' episode "The One In Vegas, Part Two", Ross does this to a sleeping Rachel. Then it turns out it won't come off, and Rachel refuses to leave her hotel room. After they've both drunk a lot, Ross agrees to have his face drawn on too, so they can look ridiculous together. Of course, in "The One After Vegas", it's gone by the next morning.
