Good news! You've acquired the rights to remake that classic cartoon you loved as a child as a movie / novelisation / TV series / comicbook / whatever. But hold on; you watch the series again and you realise something. ''Shockingly'', there's [[No Hugging, No Kissing]] - not even [[UST|Sexual Tension]] or a [[Fan Service|gratuitous bikini shot]]. Well that will never do - surely people only ever watch TV for the sex, right? And what'll [[Parent Service|keep the parents entertained]]? There's only one for it: you'll have to make it '''Hotter and Sexier'''.

* The freaking ''Sun Maid Raisin Girl'' has gotten this treatment. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJZcFq8ige8 See for yourself.]

Line 106:

* Not only is ''[[Torchwood]]'' [[Darker and Edgier]] ''[[Doctor Who]]'', but it's also Hotter and Sexier.

* The second season of ''[[SeaQuest DSV]]'' replaced several of the coolest members of the cast with characters played by younger, sexier actors. While this wasn't the only factor contributing to the generally awful season, it certainly didn't help anything.

* The ''[[Battlestar Galactica ~~Reimagined~~|Battlestar Galactica]]'' remake had a lot of this, but it was routinely buried by the massive piles of [[Darker and Edgier|Darkness and Edge]].

* The ''[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' remake had a lot of this, but it was routinely buried by the massive piles of [[Darker and Edgier|Darkness and Edge]].

* ''[[Trinity]]'' is basically a Hotter and Sexier version of traditional "[[Oxbridge]]" set dramas.

* The TNT series ''[[Rizzoli and Isles]]'', based on a series of books by author Tess Gerritsen, has cast the gorgeous Angie Harmon in the title role, despite the fact that in the books, Rizzoli is frequently described as either plain or average looking and with an irrational dislike for beautiful women.

Line 113:

* The Canadian version of ''[[So You Think You Can Dance]]'' notably [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1YeK9xF3oQ pushes] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GoFozOooYg the] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vExDHamsukc envelope] of how sexual dance routines can get.

* ''[[CSI: Miami]]'' to the original ''[[CSI]]'', as the innumerable shots of bikini girls per episode will remind you.

* [[Star Trek: Enterprise]] was often promoted as a Hotter and Sexier version of [[Star Trek]]. Unfortunately the decontamination scenes, male pregnancies and endless shirtless men came off as more childish than mature.

== Music ==

* Nelly Furtado's first two albums were kinda experimental pop/folk, [http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/sunday2001/images/leicester/wallpaper/nelly_furtado640x480.jpg normal clothing]... then ''Loose'' had her singing R&B/hip-hop, some with suggestive titles like "Promiscuous" and "Maneater", and [https://web.archive.org/web/20111113235537/http://static.poponthepop.com/images/gallery/nelly-furtados-big-booty.jpg sexy wardrobe] (giving birth between those albums helped her body to get good enough for those tight pants).

*** It is notable that Nelly Furtado is an mild example of this trope, as ~~critcs~~ noted, she did not resort to just wearing underwear or grinding like some of ~~contempories~~.

** In fact, pretty much all female pop singers tend to enter a "sexy phase" whenever album sales sag, or their audience enters a new age bracket. [[Dork Age|Even]] [[Jewel]].

** Male R&B pop stars are no stranger to this either. [[Usher]] is a good example.

* The [[K Pop]] group T-ara did two music videos of their song, "Bo Peep Bo Peep". One is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_2-IHDxzwY the normal version], and then the 19+ version which is basically [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9403-9CptH8 softcore porn...] Some think it's still "not porny enough" compared to Western music videos going the same way, but then again, [[Values Dissonance|this]] ''~~[[Values Dissonance|~~is]]'' ~~[[Values Dissonance|~~South Korea we're talking about]].

* [[Hilary Duff]] is a subversion. Although some of her songs have gotten Hotter And Sexier, (many critics noting [[Contractual Purity|it is a little weird]] to hear [[Lizzie McGuire]] sing lyrics like ''"Reach out and touch me"'') she pretty much still wears the same clothing since her Disney days.

* [[Miranda Cosgrove]] is starting this with her EP, ''High Maintenance''. Note the last track of the EP, as it's just that.

Line 135:

* The musical ''[[Chicago]]'' is greatly Hotter and Sexier than the original non-musical play.

* Parodied by the tagline to ''[[Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson]]'': "HISTORY JUST GOT ALL SEXYPANTS."

* In the transition from ''[[La Boheme]]'' to ''[[Rent]]'', most of the ~~charecters~~ stayed pretty much the same. Except for Mimi, who went from sweet, soft-spoken and naive seamstress, to junkie S&M dancer. A lot of the contrast between sweet Mimi and sexy Musetta/Maureen is lost, but Mimi actually becomes a more rounded charecter in the process.

** Mimi's number "Out Tonight" became Hotter and Sexier in the transition between play and movie. In the play, the song is sexy, but it takes place in Mimi's apartment as she prepares to meet Roger. In the movie, it's an excuse for Rosario Dawson to do a strip routine.

== Web Comics ==

* [[Nerf Now]] is a webcomic where [[Stripperiffic]] [[Distaff Counterpart]] versions of all the characters of [[Team Fortress 2]] are featured frequently.

* Rather infamously, ''[[Sonichu]] 8''.

* A lot of pin ups and centerfolds eventually turn into this. Starting out as standard mild but sexy non-nude modeling, then semi-nude, then completely nude, then explicit poses, soon followed by "insertions" (and possibly hardcore porn, though not always). Basically "''Raunchier and Nastier''". But depending on your taste that's likely not a bad thing. The glamour models who don't do nude pictorials probably don't do it not just because of any moral standard, but because they haven't been offered the right amount of money yet.

** Case in point: Teri Weigel. She started her career as a Playboy Playmate in 1985. Soon after she posed for the more explicit Penthouse magazine. Eventually she started appearing in hardcore pornographic movies and magazines and even worked for a while as a legal prostitute at the Bunny Ranch brothel in Reno, Nevada... by which time Playboy had stopped mentioning that she had ever been a Playmate.

** Other examples are Amber Easton, Meggan Mallone, Tila Tequila, Vicky6, Priya Rai, Brianna Frost and Francine Dee.

* A lot of real life child actors will deliberately take on Hotter and Sexier roles when they're older, in an attempt to shed the [[Contractual Purity|"innocent child" image]] they've had and be seen as a legitimate adult actor who can take on mature roles. It works better for some than for others.

** A la [[Anne Hathaway]]'s switch from [[The Princess Diaries]] and Havoc.

** Another example is Elizabeth Berkley from ''[[Saved by the Bell]]'', who starred in the movie ''[[Showgirls]]'' in an attempt to shed her "good girl" image. It didn't work; the film bombed at the box office and was thrashed by critics, effectively killing Berkley's career.

** An even more extreme (and successful) example is [[Miley Cyrus]], who utterly shattered her [[:Category:Former Disney Child Stars|Disney child star]] image to avoid being typecast as [[Hannah Montana]] until she was in her sixties. After a decade and her goal accomplished, she's begun dialing back her outrageousness.

** Quasi-inversion: Seeing as she ''started'' her career playing a [[Fille Fatale|12-year-old prostitute]] (in ''[[Taxi Driver]]''), [[Jodie Foster]] had to go the route of "actually doing well in good movies" rather than this. It worked.

* Inverted with [[Barbie]], whose wardrobe originally included lingerie (though most of her lingerie resembled long gowns, which Barbie will either use as undergarments or sleepwear), but by the late 2000s she cannot wear lingerie anymore to avoid alienating little girls.
