== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'': In our introduction to Kaji he does this to Misato. She ignores him. (By this we mean she gives him a [[Death Glare]].)
* In ''[[Kiss X SisKiss×Sis]]'', Keita and his [[Flirty Stepsiblings|naughty sister]] Riko do this to each other under the [[Kotatsu]]. Ako, sadly, misses out on the fun.

Line 32:
* ''[[Late Bloomers]]'' features the [[Les Yay]] version.
* Done during a restaurant scene in the 1978 movie ''Once In Paris''.
* ''[[The War of the Roses (film)|The War of the Roses]]'' (no, [[I Thought It Meant|not]] [[The War of the Roses|THAT one]]) has this between [[Danny De VitoDeVito]]'s character and a female guest during a dinner at the Roses' house.
* In ''[[Film/Bad Company|Bad Company]]'', Chris Rock plays a man impersonating his recently-deceased FBI-affiliated twin brother. As part of an assignment, he meets up with his brother's girlfriend (played by Garcelle Beauvais), who believes he's his brother, and they have dinner together at a hotel, where she attempts to seduce him this way.
* Used in ''[[Ridicule]]'' to distract the protagonist and prevent him from thinking up a good joke.
* In ''[[Weekend at BerniesBernie's]]'', Bernie's lover does this to him while her boyfriend...a crime boss...sits beside them.
* Parodied in the Italian movie ''Fracchia contro Dracula'' where the female vampire attempts to seduce the titular character using this.... despite being at the opposite side of an extremely long dinner table. And [[She Got Legs|she]][[Up to Eleven|succeeded!]]
* Kip and LaFawnduh in ''[[Napoleon Dynamite]]''.
 
== [[Live -Action TV]] ==

{{quote|'''Barney:''' Oh, and Lily? That's ''my'' leg.
Line 45:
'''Barney:''' (''smug look'') }}
* "[[Chuck]] Versus the First Date" features this twice during an interview montage. Once from Anna, and once from [[Squick|Jeff]].
* ''[[Rules of Engagement (TV series)|Rules of Engagement]]'': Russel and Timmy try this with their dates, and accidentally end up doing this with [[Ho Yay|each other]].
* Male-to-female version in the ''[[Melrose Place]]'' episode "Bitter Dinner." The female pulls away, however, as the male in question is her mother's boyfriend (and her own boyfriend is there at the table with them).
* The title character of ''[[The Jamie Foxx Show]]'' experiences this in one episode. The woman "administering" to him may be [[Hey, It's That Guy!|recognized]] as [[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air|Vivian]] [[Hot Mom|Banks.]]
Line 53:
* Todd does this in an episode of ''[[Outsourced (TV series)]]'', intending to stroke Tonya, but gets Asha instead. She's offended.
* Mariano from ''[[Mis Adorables Vecinos]]'' gets this done to him by a [[Dirty Old Woman]], which catches both him and Ernesto offguard. "She put her foot... on your royal jewels?" indeed.
* In ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined(2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'', Ellen Tigh does this to Lee Adama right in front of her husband and his father. He's hilariously terrified.
