Line 25:
* In ''[[Clannad]]'', the adorably innocent [[Cloudcuckoolander|Ibuki Fuko]] says she wants to do this to little Ushio-chan, {{spoiler|Tomoya's daughter}}, and to be her older sister. Pictured above.
* In ''[[Mahoraba]]'', the eccentric president of the occult club takes an intense liking to Asami-chan, who is the first person to be so innocent that she finds her creepy jokes funny.
* ''[[Ranma ½]]'': [[Kawaiiko|Azusa Shiratori]] is very prone to this, grabbing new "cute" items and giving them a French name, and then claiming ownership of them. If it resists, she'll knock it out. If it's yours, and you resist, she'll knock ''you'' out. In the anime version, she tries to "adopt" a half-eaten rice cake soon afterward. When Genma manages to polish it off before she can steal it, she screams in horror and beats him senseless. Her collection, in the few glimpses we've seen of her mansion, has been shown to include an octopus balloon, a stop sign, and even weirder things. In an anime-exclusive episode, she adopts a [[Youkai|Tanuki]] statue -- andstatue—and when Kunô cuts his way out of it (it fell on him beforehand), she promptly adopts him as well, thinking he must be a ''real'' tanuki.
* In ''[[Kannagi]]'', Nagi sees a pair of kittens curled up and sleeping outside of Jin's house. She finds them so irresistibly cute that she wants to take care of them herself. Jin's not too keen on the idea, as his current living arrangement prevents animals from taking up residence inside.
* The pet store clerk in ''[[Chi's Sweet Home|Chi's New Address]]'' does this even after discovering Chi has an owner. The reason she ''can't'' have one is because her little brother [[Animals Hate Him|is afraid of cats]] -- but—but as it turns out, her brother happens to be Yohei's friend Ryu, who got over his fear about 20 episodes before this was revealed.
* ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya]]''
** Yuki Nagato, [[The Stoic|of all people]], reacts this way in ''The Melancholy of [[Haruhi-chan]] Suzumiya'' when she finds the newly revived "Achakura", proceeding to place her in her bag and ''literally'' take her home.
Line 38:
* ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]''
** Teresa "Tessa" Testarossa gets this reaction when she introduces herself to Kaname's high school class in ''[[Full Metal Panic Fumoffu]]''. All the guys go "WOOOAH!" while all the girls cry [[Even the Girls Want Her|"Oh she's so cute!"]] with accompanying love hearts.
** Sôsuke evidently elicited this kind of response when he was [[Adorably Precocious Child|young]]. Just like in the trope description, his Cuteness Proximity was so incredibly intense, it managed to melt the hearts of ''war-hardened veterans'' and pretty much made them internally [[Squee]] that they want to take him home and make him their child. Which they then proceed to attempt to do. He certainly never lacked people who were all too eager to take him in as their own. Starting with Majid, an <s>Afghanistani</s> Helmajistani rebellion leader whom Sôsuke had ''tried to assassinate'', who liked him so much that he adopted him as his "Son of Bdakshon's Tiger", and raised him with complete kindness. And then there was Kalinin, who wanted Sôsuke as his son from the very beginning, and took him as a prisoner of war ''after Sôsuke tried to assassinate him''. He then proceeds to persistently try to get Sôsuke to agree to be his adopted son (which he refused, since he already had Majid as his "father" -- yes—yes, it got to the point of being a first-come-first-serve basis). After Majid dies, Kalinin ''finally'' manages to force his way and get Sôsuke to be his legally adopted son. And all while that was going on, [[Ax Crazy|Gauron]] has tried to take Sôsuke for himself [[Love At First Sight|ever since the moment he first set eyes on the boy]]. He ''literally'' did a double take, parked his jeep, and tried to lure Sôsuke to come with him by promising him food and ammunition. Sôsuke refuses, and Gauron ends up [[Stalker with a Crush|being unable to forget him for the next five years]]. (Though in Gauron's case, it's more of a [[Shotacon|pedophile rapist, sexual version]] of wanting to take him home, unlike the previous two).
* [[Depraved Homosexual]] Lussuria from ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'' takes a liking to his young opponent Ryohei's muscular physique and decides to take him home... after he's kicked the shit out of him that is...
* 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 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:
Line 64:
* A more serious example occurs in ''[[Bleach]]'' where {{spoiler|in Riruka's flashback, she had done this to the guy she had a crush on, imprisoning him inside her treasure box. She stopped when she realized how badly her powers were affecting the guy and let him go.}} More exactly: {{spoiler|Riruka actually ''weaponizes'' this trope. Anything and anyone she finds cute, she can snatch it with her powers and keep it for herself. She started with petty theft as a little girl (stealing the heart-shaped necklace of the neighbor that bullied her), then used it as described above.}}
* A creepy (though hilarious) version happens in chapter 210 of ''[[D.Gray-man|D Gray Man]]''. A random gangster who, according to his crony, "loves all beautiful things to a sick degree," decides that Kanda is the most beautiful person he has ever seen and declares, "I'm going to kidnap him and bring him back home!" Kanda promptly beats him to a pulp.
* Katanashi in ''[[Working]]'' is a minicon -- someoneminicon—someone who thinks anything tiny is inherently cute. Showing him anything small is guaranteed to get this reaction from him -- whichhim—which can be creepy when the object in question is a four year old girl who got separated from her mom.
 
 
== Comic Books ==
* ''[[Blackest Night]]''
** Gross example: Larfleeze wants his own Guardian, so when our heroes encounter Scar -- anScar—an evil, half-undead Guardian who serves the story's [[Big Bad]] --, he wants to do this.
** Even grosser is Kryb, the Sinestro Corps member who compulsively abducts infants and keeps them in her exposed ribcage.
 
Line 122:
 
== Music ==
* Perhaps Guy Kyser -- frontmanKyser—frontman of Thin White Rope -- tossedRope—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:

Doesn't age a minute for a year in a vacuum
Line 151:
 
== Visual Novels ==
* [[media:kor_Higurashi_YOU_GONNA_GET_TAKEN_HOMEkor Higurashi YOU GONNA GET TAKEN HOME.jpg|Rena Ryuuguu]] of the mystery-horror franchise ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'' is the [[Trope Namer]]. Whenever she sees something she regards as cute, she melts into a complete ditz and fawns over the subject of cuteness like a mother/big sister. Occasionally, she takes it a little too far, as the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVSjavz_w0g following] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghLTQwSwmc0 videos] show the frightened audience. However, sometimes what she perceives to be "cute" can be [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iv9eqniuvMg odd] if not downright '''disturbing''' to more normal people.
** In the sound novels, this is often intentionally invoked to enable Rena's "adorable mode". [[Super Mode|In this mode, she cannot be beaten by anyone.]]
** Apparently, this attitude is contagious. Keiichi starts to act this way (most likely as a joke) when confronted with Shion in [[Fan Service with a Smile|her Angel Mort uniform]], and [[Lolicon|Irie]] acts like this in a couple scenes, though it's not as cute.
Line 177:
* ''[[Sequential Art (webcomic)|Sequential Art]]'' has a [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=360 double variant].
* ''[[A Girl and Her Fed]]'' had [[Only Known by Their Nickname|The Girl]] say this about one of the ''[[Mooks|henchmen]]''. She was shot down by [[Only Known by Their Nickname|The Fed]]; after all, [[Deadpan Snarker|villains are such a big responsibility]].
* ''[[Scandinavia and The World]]'' has this from Canada and Denmark with [http://satwcomic.com/epic-battle cute puppie "Hans"] -- standing—standing in for the territorial dispute over Hans Island, close to Greenland.
 
 
Line 191:
* In ''[[Peanuts|Snoopy Come Home]]'', Snoopy comes across a little girl who, without warning, grabs him and drags him to her home, shouting, "Oh, boy! I found a dog!" When Woodstock tries to save Snoopy, the girl takes him too.
* An episode of ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' had Bubbles bringing home animals she felt sorry for. This culminates with her trying to hide a ''baby whale'' from the Professor.
* Elmyra of ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' has no problem with snatching pets (in a world of [[Funny Animal|Funny Animals]]s) and declaring them her pets. Compounding matters, she's also a [[And Call Him George|negligent owner]] whose pets invariably die. In many ways more sinister than her mentor, Elmer Fudd, who would simply shoot at them.
* ''[[Looney Tunes]]''; the Abominable Showman. "Oh, boy! A bunny rabbit! Just what I always wanted! [[And Call Him George|I will name him George, and I will hug him and squeeze him and pet him and pat him..."]]
* [[Tex Avery]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oo8HM77q4Is did it first]. "Hello George! Glad to know ya, George! You're my new lit-tle friend, George! My new lit-tle friend. What I'm gonna do is to pet ya and play with ya, George!" ''(crunching of bones in a hug)''
Line 207:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOwogW6RC40 There is a Youtube clip of Pedobear doing this to a child at one of the larger cons.]
* And [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sYmUOeOVls this clip] from a ''[[Doctor Who]]'' convention. For a child dressed as a ''Dalek''.
* The reason inter-species adoptions are possible -- epossible—e.g. a dog with puppies adopting a baby bunny it might have normally had for breakfast, a [[Older Than Feudalism|she-wolf adopting]] [[Raised by Wolves|a human infant]], etc. More specifically, facial features with certain proportions (huge eyes, tiny nose, tiny mouth, round head) really hit an onlooker's maternal instincts, and happen to be pretty much universal among mammals, so that sometimes, under the right circumstances, the instinct to take it home and care for it overweighs the instinct to snack on it.
