I'm Taking Her Home with Me: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Baccano]]'' Isaac and Miria do this on someone else's behalf, when they decide that the perfect gift for {{spoiler|Ennis}} would be a little {{spoiler|brother}}. So, they give her {{spoiler|[[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|Czeslaw]]}}.

* Referenced in episode 9 of the new season of ''[[Darker Than Black]]''. [[Cosplay Otaku Girl]] Kiko and her like-minded friend see Suo, who happens to look like some anime character that they like. The friend suggests they take her home with them. Kiko, who has [[Wrong Genre Savvy|finally figured out]] she's [[Genre Savvy|not in a show where that's a viable option]], says:

** This may be a [[Shout-Out]] to [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|Rena]], since she uses ''exactly'' the same phrasing (''"Omochikaeri~!"'').

* In ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', Alphonse has a tendency to pick up cats and '''keep them in his armor'''. Edward is not happy about this. Referenced HILARIOUSLY when Ed assumes Al's found another cat in an alley. Except it's not a cat, it's Ling.

** Another [http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/504564 example] involving [[The One Guy|Rinnosuke]] being turned into a cute little boy. Apparently being called Onee-Chan was a little more than [[Miko|Reimu]] and [[Kleptomaniac Hero|Marisa]] could handle. [[Shotacon|The drool on the sides of their mouths seems point to less then pure intentions]].

** [http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=564214 The last option for what to do with Byakuren] [[Cool Big Sis|Big-sis]]:

'''Take her home''' }}

* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]'': "And I shall call you Mr. Tweetums! For it is very evil!" And in a later episode: {{spoiler|"Fool! There is no one who I would want to remember~... Mr. Tweetums! [[Big No|Nooo!!!]] [[Tranquil Fury|You made me forget my very best friend"]]...}}

* Ryutaros from ''[[Kamen Rider Den-O]]'' is very fond of cute animals and tends to bring them back to the DenLiner, sometimes regardless of whether they're homeless or not. Reaches an extreme when he does it to a fellow [[Monster of the Week|Imagin]], which introduces the cast to [[White Prince|Sieg]]...

* Liz does this accidentally on ''[[30 Rock|Thirty Rock]]''. When handed the baby of a coworker she has such an extreme case of [[Cuteness Proximity]] that she goes into a fugue state and realizes that she is now in her apartment... and still holding the baby.

'''Pete:''' Oh right, and you have someone else's baby in your car. }}

* ''[[Stargate SG-1]]''. Samantha Carter makes friends with a little alien boy in "The Nox". O'Neill informs her drily that, "No, [she] can't keep him."

== Music ==

* Perhaps Guy Kyser -- frontman of Thin White Rope -- tossed a few too many oblique words into the [[Word Salad Lyrics|salad]], but (in the song "Take It Home") he seemed to be evoking this trope. Or attempting to explore the boundaries of its inherent futility:

I can't take this one home'' }}

* Darkly invoked in [[A Perfect Circle]]'s cover of ''The Nurse Who Loved Me'':

She's got everything I need, some pills in a little cup'' }}

 

* In ''[[The Lounge]]'', for a while it was a running gag for people to see the very petite Jamie MacKenzie and equally short (but teenage) Max Espinoza and ask how much they cost. Usually when they were wearing a cute hat or costume.

* In ''[[Keychain of Creation]]'', Marena was inspired to bring [[Dark Action Girl|Secret]] along with the group after she attempted to say her full [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Abyssal title]]... and fainted after seventy words.

* [http://www.drunkduck.com/Batman_Retold/?p=725261 These] [http://www.drunkduck.com/Batman_Retold/5258297/ two] ''Batman Retold'' strips.

* ''[[Sequential Art (webcomic)|Sequential Art]]'' has a [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=360 double variant].

* In the ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' Season 2 episode "Date with Destiny", Beast Boy makes mention that Killer Moth's mutant drones are cute enough to keep as pets (in the larval stage). Despite Raven's warning, he manages to hide Silkie up until Season 3's "Can I Keep Him?"

* In ''[[Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness|Kung Fu Panda Legends of Awesomeness]]'' this was Po's inital reaction to Peng, before [[Green-Eyed Monster]] set in.
