Firemen Are Hot: Difference between revisions

 

{{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 ''[[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''.

 

 

* ''[[Friends]]'': Monica, Rachel and Phoebe burn mementos of their former boyfriends because they have nothing else to do for Valentine's day and set part of the apartment on fire. Cue hot firemen. the firemen in that episode talk about how single women set fires accidentally-on-purpose, apparently because of this trope.

** Ends with this great dialogue:

 

 

* 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.

{{quote|A four-alarmer and the circus is ablaze / Panicky people run out madly through the haze / I fight my way into the Big Top, wipe my eyes / There stands a tiger trainer, lovely, hear her cry! / She points up to the high-wire, there a tiger stands / "Oh help me, help me, bring my tiger down, dear man" / "If you will save him, I will be yours every night!" / I climb the pole and look the tiger in the eye...}}

 

 

* 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.

 

 

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

 

 

* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' uses this while subverting the [[Bachelor Auction]] trope. The auction is to raise money for a new fire engine, but all the town's bachelors are deeply unappealing. Lisa comments "Doesn't this town have any good bachelors", at which point we see all the firefighters who are, of course, muscular eligible bachelors.

** Another example from ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' was when Homer won a free boudoir photoshoot. One of his photos had him pose as a mostly-nude firefighter with the hose wound around his body. Could be considered a subversion in that Homer himself is far from most people's image of a sexy guy, but could also be considered played straight in that a) the photographer had the firefighting equipment available (implying that this is a common scenario for such photos) and b) ''Marge'' found it very alluring indeed.

 

 

* [[Truth in Television|"Firefighter Hunks" calendars]]. Seriously. Go to Google Images and look up "New York City Firemen Calender". Burly sweaty men who ride around on a big red truck, slide down poles, and know how to handle a hose.

** Or their colleagues from [https://web.archive.org/web/20131012144114/http://www.homorazzi.com/article/bilbao-firefighter-calendar-2011-sexy-hot-firemen-shirtless-pics/ Bilbao (Spain)].

* 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.
