Line 14:
2) GRAB the poor little one and SHOUT "I'm taking her/him home with me!" as he or she runs off like a kidnapper.
More so than Cuteness Proximity, this will either endear the audience to what is obviously a very warm and loving person, or creep them out by revealing what is a dangerous and perverted [[Lolicon]] or [[Shotacon]].
Another way this can end badly is if the abductor [[Does Not Know His Own Strength]], and their overly ''physical'' expression of affection [[And Call Him George|spells doom for poor little "George"]]. Occasionally, the "cute creature" in question is either [[Ugly Cute]] at best, or [[Fluffy the Terrible|downright monstrous]].
Has [[I Thought It Meant|absolutely nothing]] to do with [[Taking You with Me]].
{{examples}}
Line 42:
* In ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', about half of the class feels this way about Negi when he is first introduced as their teacher.
* The follow-up series, ''[[Negima Second Season|Negima!?]]'', has a scene where [[Bodyguard Crush|Setsuna]] is carrying [[Ojou|Konoka]] in her [[Tastes Like Diabetes|super-cute]] "[[Magic Misfire|dud]]" form. As dud Konoka repeatedly comments on how comfortable she is in her arms, Setsuna [[Did I Just Say That Out Loud?|comments out loud that]] [[I'm Taking Her Home with Me|she wishes she could "take her home like this."]]
* 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
{{quote|'''Kiko:''' I'm not into lolicon. Besides, that's illegal.}}
** This may be a [[Shout-Out]] to [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|Rena]], since she uses ''exactly'' the same phrasing (''"Omochikaeri~!"'').
Line 53:
* In chapter 12 of ''[[Honey Hunt]]'', Q-Ta hugs Yura before leaving to go on a trip to record something and tells her that she's cute. So cute that he [http://manga.animea.net/honey-hunt-chapter-12-page-5.html just wants to put her in his suitcase and take her with him].
* In ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei|Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei]]'', once [[Adorably Precocious Child]] Majiru is introduced, following his [[Parental Abandonment]], Harumi comments on how cute he is and proposes that the class should take turns taking him home with them. Majiru protests that he's not a pet.
* This is Kyrie's reaction toward Toppi from the ''[[World Destruction]]'' manga when Toppi and Morte save his life. Toppi does not take being called "cute" well.
* Eisuke Kitamura in ''[[Stepping on Roses]]'' (''Hadashi De Bara Wo Fume'') appears to have this as his motivation for constantly bringing home orphaned children... that is, until he reveals that he really just wanted them to [[Only in It For the Money|work for him]] in his future business endeavors when they get older.
* In ''[[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt|Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt]]'', Stocking has this reaction when she sees the Sperm Ghosts. Admittedly, for being the ghosts of vengeful wasted sperm, they ''are'' pretty adorable.
* Iris from ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]: Best Wishes'' tends to react this way around the [[Monster of the Week]]. Her actions usually result in the Pokémon hiding from her or attacking her.
* While Sasha ''[[Seikon no Qwaser]]'' is still going through amnesia, he almost gets kidnapped by a [[Haruhi Suzumiya|Mikuru]] Cosplayer.
Line 184:
* A serious variant happens sometimes in ''[[Protectors of the Plot Continuum]]''. Sues' children are usually saved if the agents can wrangle it.
* In ''[[Things Mr. Welch Is No Longer Allowed to Do In An RPG]]'', Welch's characters are prohibited from doing this to drow priestesses.
* ''[[(The Customer is) Not Always Right]]'' got [http://notalwaysright.com/fritzl-be-one-of-those-days this case].
* In the ''[[MSF High Forum]]'', Demona has this reaction to Lily, the chibi-Pettanko-Succubus. Lily, at present, is begging for death.
Line 196:
* A rather odd example in ''[[The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest]]''. Villain Jeremiah Surd and his minions have hijacked Air Force One and they plan to kill everybody in it with a deadly nerve gas. Our heroes Jonny, Jessie and Hadji get themselves captured while trying to rescue the President. Bandit (Jonny's pet dog) is also there. When Lorenzo, one of Surd's minions (who is usually very competent in his ruthlessness, except for being rather [[Book Dumb]]) points Bandit's presence out to Surd, the boss tells him to "throw him in, too." And Lorenzo goes: "But he's so cute! Can I keep him?" Surd, predictably, says no.
* In ''[[South Park]]'', Paris Hilton offers to buy Butters for $250 million for this reason. His parents accept, although Butters isn't too happy with the arrangement. [[Too Dumb to Live|Well, that and she thought Butters was an animal.]]
* ''[[Generator Rex]]'': One episode has Breach kidnap Rex to put in her dollhouse while referring to Rex as her "new favorite" and "shiny thing."
* ''[[Adventure Time]] with Finn and Jake'', in the episode The Jiggler, Finn and Jake find a creature that dances along to the song that Finn was singing and the two take it back to their tree house to party with.
* ''[[The Boondocks]]'' did this with Riley of all people being kidnapped by one of Grandpa's blind dates because he was just so cute. Huey and Grandad had to go save him.
