Has [[I Thought It Meant|absolutely nothing]] to do with [[Taking You With Me]].

Line 28:
* In ''[[Clannad (Visual Novel)|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 (Anime)|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 One Half½ (Manga)|Ranma One Half]]'': [[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.<br />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 -- 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 (Manga)|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 (Manga)|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 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.
Line 44:
* [[Depraved Homosexual]] Lussuria from ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn (Manga)|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 (Manga)|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 (Anime)|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 (Light Novel)|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 (Anime)|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:

* ''[[Touhou (Video Game)|Touhou]]''
** A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JpPSAF0wGw voicepack] for [[Boisterous Bruiser|Suika]], of all people, has this very phrase in it. Makes sense, since Oni are traditionally known to carry people off when they lost contests, and Suika is strong enough to carry away anyone she'd want.
** ''Touhou'''s other oni, Yuugi, is also frequently portrayed by fandom as carrying off others. [[Jerkass Woobie|Parsee]] [[Green -Eyed Monster|Mizuhashi]] is a [[Chew Toy|favorite victim]], [[Crack Pairing|for some reason]].
** 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]].

* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: theThe Abridged Series (Web Video)|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"]]...}}
* Performed by the [[Trope Namer]], Ryuguu Rena, on a cosplaying Yuki, in ''[[Kyon Big Damn Hero (Fanfic)|Kyon Big Damn Hero]]''. Yes, [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|that Yuki]].
* ''[[Past Sins (Fanfic)|Past Sins]]'': Nyx is found by Twilight Sparkle in the middle of a dark forest all alone and scared... naturally, she adopts her.
Line 111:
* There is a picture book called ''Children Make Terrible Pets''. The story is about a young bear named Lucy who finds a human boy out in the woods. She takes him home, names him "Squeaker" and tries to make a pet out of him. Read that title one more time....
* In ''[[The Time Machine]],'' the Time Traveler has encountered a race of people who are essentially humans that stop developing physically and mentally at age six. He has fallen in like with one of the womenfolk. "Weena I had resolved to bring with me to our own time." (Ch. 7)
* Subverted in ''[[Dune]]'', and combined with [[I Have You Now, My Pretty]]. The Harkonnen's Mentat Piter de Vries wanted to keep Jessica Atreides for himself, but quickly dumps the idea when the Baron offers him to stay and rule Arrakis in his name instead.
* Veruca Salt, as mentioned above in Films, wants to take a squirrel home with her in ''[[Charlie and The Chocolate Factory]]''. It doesn't end well.
* "The Kidnapping", by Shiga Naoya, is a perfect example of this trope. The narrator sees a little girl and decides that he must have her for his own.

* 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 ''[[Thirty30 Rock (TV)|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.
{{quote| '''Liz:''' It was like highway hypnosis -- you know, when you pull into your driveway and you don't remember driving home.<br />
'''Pete:''' Oh right, and you have someone else's baby in your car. }}

* ''[[Touhou (Video Game)|Touhou]]''
** Yukari is said to ''spirit away'' people whom she takes a fancy to. This includes taking home people from ''outside'' Gensoukyou.
** In ''Phantasmagoria of Dim Dream'', Yumemi decided she wanted to take home one of the magical denizens of Gensoukyou, [[For Science!]]!
** After spending most of ''Undefined Fantastic Object'' geeking out at the prospect of meeting an alien Sanae refuses to believe [[Humanoid Abomination|Nue]] is a youkai, and after she defeats her drags her off to take pictures with her.
* ''[[Dragon Age (Video Game)|Dragon Age]]''
Line 203:
* ''[[The Boondocks (Comic Strip)|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.
* 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 (Animation)|Kung Fu Panda Legends of Awesomeness]]'' this was Po's inital reaction to Peng, before [[Green -Eyed Monster]] set in.
{{quote| '''Po:''' Oh please, please can we keep him? Can we keep him ''pleeeeease''? He's even [[Just for Pun|pottery trained!]]}}
