Firemen Are Hot: Difference between revisions

[[File:pompier.jpg|frame|[[Real Life]]'s [[Mr. Fanservice]].]]

 

 

Attractive male firefighters. Why firefighters? Perhaps it's their [[Emergency Services|occupational necessity]] to keep in prime physical condition, coupled with their tendency to [[Rescue Romance|heroically rescue]] people from [[Heroic Fire Rescue|burning buildings]]. Either way, this trope is prime [[Mr. Fanservice]], and one that is prone to heavy [[Lampshade Hanging]], such as male strippers dressing as firefighters, or women in comedies rescued by firemen who happen to ''all'' be strapping studs.

For some reason, the [[Ho Yay|potential implications of a bunch of beefy men spending lots of time together in a building with lots of beds and few women around]] never seems to enter into this trope. [[Yaoi Fangirl|Then again]], some women like [[Yaoi Guys|men]] who are [[Incredibly Lame Pun|flaming]].

 

 

{{examples}}

 

* In ''[[The Wrestler]]'', the titular character has a drug and booze fueled one night stand with a random girl in a bar that mentioned having a thing for firemen. [[What Did I Do Last Night?|When he wakes up]], he's in a room ''full'' of firefighter posters and other firefighter related paraphernalia. Even the ''sheets'' on the bed he wakes up in have firemen stamped on them.

* "[[Backdraft]]". Oh, God, that shower scene.

* In ''[[The Nutty Professor]] 2'', Denise's bachelorette party is interrupted by a "fireman" who declares an emergency in the house and turns off the music...only to put in his own tape and start stripping to "The Thong Song".

 

* In ''[[A Tree Grows in Brooklyn]]'', Sissy's first husband was a fireman. Sissy being a [[Good Bad Girl]], lots of sex was involved.

* Jason Halliday in Alison Roberts ''The Firefighter's Baby''.

* Logan Knight of Tory Richards's ''It's All In The Jeans''.

 

*** [Scene: Out in the hall. The firemen are talking.]

*** FIREMAN 1: You guys tell them you were married?

*** FIREMAN 3: Are you kidding? My girlfriend doesn't know, I'm not gonna tell them!

** One time, Phoebe dated 2 guys at the same time (a studly fireman and a sensitive teacher). She decides to break with the fireman but turns out he's also sensitive, and artistic to boot.

* Swedish comedy show ''Nile City'' contained a "sub show" about a group of firemen whose station was in the same building as the radio show that the main characters produced. These fireman all lounged around with their shirts off and either had English names or their Swedish names were given English pronounciations. There was always a narrator talking about emotions and male bonding and similar themes, and each episode was titled "Grown Men Do Things Together". To round it all up, during every episode the song "''Up Where We Belong''" was played, always beginning on the line "There were mountains in our way".

* [[Psych|Shawn Spencer]] seems to have a thing for fire[[Ho Yay|men]]...which started with [[Kissing Cousins|his uncle coming for career day]].

* In the [[Modern Family]] episode "Up All Night" Phil has pains caused by a kidney stone and his wife Claire and daughters are excited because they get to call in the "sexy firemen" much to Phil's chagrin. Phil gets even more irritated when he notices his wife Claire putting on makeup and changing into nicer clothes before they arrive. Later in the episode, Claire's brother Mitchell and boyfriend Cameron are excited to call the firemen when Mitchell injures his ankle. Cameron takes a picture with his phone of a fireman carrying Mitchell out in his arms.

* According to the ladies of ''[[Ashes to Ashes]]'', firemen are totally hot:

'''Alex''': Like a shot. }}

* One "The Girls Room" sketch on ''[[The Amanda Show]]'' featured a stripteasing fireman.

* Firefighter Jimmy Doherty, of ''[[Third Watch]]'', receives a ''lot'' of female attention. He even posed for an advert for a Viagra-type product.

* In an episode of ''[[The Bill]]'', the coppers encounter a female Fire Investigation Officer, who has big breasts and is wearing a low cut white T-shirt under her firefighter outfit. Eddie tries to hit on her- but finds out she has a boyfriend.

* Resident hunk Trey from ''[[Noah's Arc]]'' posed as one of these for a calendar shoot.

* One episode of ''[[Two and A Half Men]]'' has Charlie and Alan bring home two drunk women. After the women head for the beach, Alan lights candles and sets the house on fire. After the girls have left, the episode cuts to Charlie and his therapist, with him complaining. When the female therapist questions it, he responds:

* In the ''[[Castle]]'' episode "The Third Man", Beckett's date (to counter Castle's own date with New York's most eligible bachelorette number three) is a firefighter who made that year's FDNY calendar. For ''July''.

* On ''[[Mad TV]]'', [[Hilarity Ensues]] as ditzy girlfriends Lida and Molina sign up for firefighter training just for the perks.

* A common theme in ''[[Sirens]]'' which Stuart really dislikes. He's constantly trying to beat the firemen to the accident scene so they don't steal the glory. He managed it once getting to "save" an "obese" pregnant drunk woman; who while being carried down several flights of stairs moans about how she wanted the firemen. Once they do get downstairs they're showing off their hoses to the women. Finally policewoman Maxine has fallen for a fireman.

 

* The song "Here Kitty" by [[Sparks]] points out the danger in this trope: sure, rescuing cats from trees gets firemen laid, but some cats are too big to handle.

 

* Referenced in ''[[Animal Crossing]].'' One of the letters you can receive from the player character's mother talks about her being rescued by a hunky firemen after an aerobics accident (Apparently, [[You Do NOT Want to Know]].) She ends on the line, "Firemen are cute! * heart* "

 

* [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/11/27/ This] ''[[Penny Arcade]]'' strip.

* Hannelore from [[Questionable Content]] had a thing for [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1219 sexy firemen] ... until [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1224 meeting one up close], anyway.

* Jack, the [[Everyone Looks Sexier If French|half-Japanese]] love interest-cum-[[Mr. Fanservice]] from ''The Green Avenger''.

 

* Used in ''[[The Onion]]'' article "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrsLMcJn_cA Incredibly Sexy Firefighter Tragically Dies In Steamy Blaze]".

 

*** Marge didn't find it alluring: she was more interested in the furnishings used in the shoot.

'''Marge''': No you weren't. }}

* Optimus Prime from ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' transforms into a fire truck. Who says he's not sexy?

** What about the fireman who was actually named 'Optimus Prime'? (After having it legally changed)

'''Mom:''' "Oooh, I was right!" }}

 

* It also appears to be a popular costume for both sexes - but due to the typical costuming [[Double Standard]], the standard male firefighter Halloween costume covers the entire body, with ''maybe'' a shirt that can be opened, and the standard female firefighter Halloween costume involves a bra, miniskirt and stiletto boots.

* Dawn French was once asked what uniform, if any, she would make her husband wear. She picked a fireman's helmet, and nothing else.
