Ignore the Fanservice: Difference between revisions

Line 15:

* A Coors Light commercial features a guy coming home to find lit candles all over the apartment, a trail of rose petals, and a note on the refrigerator written in lipstick saying "Come and get me". As he opens the fridge door, his girlfriend appears in the doorway wearing lingerie. He doesn't even notice her; he's too interested in the Coors Light "Cold Activated Window" beer in the fridge.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SlReZgHy08 This] is the trope [[Recycled in Space|IN AN ELEVATOR!]]

* Played for laughs in an Arby's Roast Beef commercial. A group of construction workers are oblivious to the many pretty women who walk by but start hooting and hollering when a guy walks buy carrying an Arby's bag.

* An ad for the Windows phone shows a lady standing in front of her bed in a sexy nightie, trying in vain to distract her husband from his phone.

* A Levi's Jeans commercial has a woman (after being unable to go into a women's bathroom to change her pants) go into the men's washroom and see a (seemingly) blind young man twirling his cane. She proceeds to change in front of him, then walks up to his face and zips up her jeans in front of his face (to no reaction whatsoever). She walks out of the washroom, and another man comes out of an adjoining stall. The "blind" kid hands the cane back to the older man (who is actually the blind one), and tells him he wouldn't believe what just happened.

Line 57:

** This happens with Luffy when Boa Hancock is completely naked before him, with the first thing he says after seeing this is "there is no food back here".

* Maeda from ''[[Ai Kora]]'', who is only attracted to his "[[Fetish|Ideal Parts]]". Even if a girl is trying to get his attention through normal sexual attractiveness, if it has nothing to do with his Ideal Parts he shows no interest.

* Sylvie Lumiere from ''[[Baccano]]'' is sexy enough to [[Even the Girls Want Her|attract the attention of women as well as men.]] Maiza, however, is completely immune.

* Sylvie Lumiere from ''[[Baccano!]]'' is sexy enough to [[Even the Girls Want Her|attract the attention of women as well as men.]] Maiza, however, is completely immune.

Line 66:

** Also considering [[Power Perversion Potential|he could take a peek whenever he wants to]], it probably isn't a big deal to him. Not to mention, X-ray vision would presumably make... augmented... breasts look rather different from the real thing.

* When Ava Lord of ''[[Sin City]]: A Dame to Kill For'' allies with Wallenquist, he tells her, "I'll warn you once and only once, Mrs. Lord -- do not flirt with me. I have no use for your charms."

* In the ''[[X Wing Series]]'', Soontir Fel, the best Imperial pilot alive, is assigned to a corrupt admiral who pushes a scantily-clad woman at him, telling him to "enjoy her" rather than keep going over the defenses of the world. Fel says his [[Happily Married|wife]] would not approve, the admiral says that neither would ''his'' wife, [[What You Are in the Dark|but no-one would know]]. But Fel would, and he's much more interested in plans for defending the planet from Rebels. This is basically a sort of [[Pet the Dog]] for him. Most fans would also note that Fel's wife is much hotter than the woman the corrupt admiral was offering.

Line 100:

** The older sister puts the moves on Marlowe too, but less blatantly. She also gets upset when turned down, but she's not as histrionic as her sister.

* Classic example in ''[[Malice (film)|Malice]]'': [[Nicole Kidman]]'s character starts playing footsie with Bill Pullman's under the table, telling him in a breathy voice how she misses him and still wants him, to which he coldly replies [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|"I think you dropped your shoe."]]

* In the [[Tim Burton]] ''[[Planet of the Apes]]'' remake, Leo pays absolutely no attention at all to the drop dead gorgeous [[Nubile Savage|Daena]] even after she puts the full liplock on him.

* In ''Clones of Bruce Lee'', Bruce #2 is completely unaffected by the naked prostitute he finds in his hotel room. Good thing, considering she was an assassin sent by Dr. Ny to assassinate him.

* In ''[[Scary Movie]] 2'', Theo attempts to vamp Dwight to get the keys to escape the haunted house. It doesn't work.

* In the 1987 movie version of ''[[Dragnet]]'', Joe Friday rejects a topless model and ignores a stripper, although he does end up with Connie Swail.

** He falls for [The Virgin] Connie Swail because she is every bit as straight-laced and ultraconservative as him, which also explains why he didn't pay much mind to the earlier fanservice.

* The Rebbe's son does this to a female undercover cop in ''A stranger among us''.

* 2005's ''[[Fantastic Four (film)|Fantastic Four]]''. Susan Storm arrives explaining the outfits that would later be adopted as those of the FF and wearing her own so that it nicely exposes her cleavage... and it for a moment it looks like Reed Richards is astonished by how good it looks on her... until he starts proclaiming how impressed he is with the materials they are made out of, and how they are designed to correspond to the group's molecular structure. Cue a displeased look from Sue.

* In ''[[Cruel Intentions]]'', Sebastian sucessfully seduces Cecile, the woman that Kathryn originally bet he would be able to sleep with. Kathryn later tells Cecile how to learn the art of sex from Sebastian. Cecile, in turn, tries to seduce Sebastian by climbing on top of him half-dressed while he's working. Sebastian literally shoves Cecile off the bed like a toy and keeps typing.

Line 155:

* ''[[Firefly]]'': Mal attempts to do this in ''Our Mrs. Reynolds''. He fails: "Oh God, I'm going to the special hell."

** To be fair, {{spoiler|Saffron}} has had Companion training. Good luck refusing that.

** Wash succeeds, though. But then again, Wash beds down with his [[Hot Amazon]] wife every night (who, as he reflects, can kill him with her pinkie), while Mal sleeps alone pining after the gorgeous hooker.

* As does Topher from ''[[Dollhouse]]''. [[Joss Whedon]] apparently [[Author Appeal|enjoys this trope]].

* Xander succeeds against the entire female cast of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' when a sex-appeal spell has been cast on him. "Buffy. No, please don't open that raincoat." Buffy herself is occasionally shown ignoring cute guys as a sign that she's in a funk, such as in her opening musical number in [[Musical Episode|"Once More With Feeling"]], where she dismisses a bare-chested model offering to "repay" her for saving his life. "Whatever."

* ''[[Burn Notice]]'': While not an intended seduction, when Fiona misinterprets Michael saying he's 'coming over' she opens the door wearing nothing but an open shirt over her underwear and holding a glass of wine... and Michael and Sam just stroll past her while tossing off a casual greeting. Sam spares her one glance, Michael doesn't even ''look'' at her.

* In ''[[CSI New York]]'' Mac Taylor's ability to remain completely focused on his job when said job lands him in a room full of half-dressed Roller Derby queens, one of whom is visibly trying to throw herself at him, is nothing short of impressive. That said, though, he [[Absolute Cleavage|does have practice]].

* ''[[Gossip Girl]]'''s Serena van der Woodsen tries to [[Brainless Beauty|orchestrate a cunning scheme]] in season three, to expose Jenny's boyfriend Damian as a sleaze and make her dump him. The idea is for her to do her usual [[Ms. Fanservice]] thing and Nate will walk in with Jenny just as Damian is throwing himself at Serena. She fails to take into consideration that Damian might not want to jump her bones the first chance he gets, and the plan of course fails.

Line 174:

== Music ==

* In the video for ''Call Me Maybe'' by Carly Rae Jepsen, she tries to get the attention of a hunky guy she likes by washing a car sexily (and hilariously). It does not work as [[Sorry, I'm Gay|he is gay,]] as she later finds out when he gives his number to the (male) guitarist of her band.

Line 206:

* In the fifth ''[[Resident Evil]]'', Excella Gionne is introduced in her [[Stripperific]] dress, touching all over [[Big Bad]] Albert Wesker, talking about their plans and claiming she's interested in something "much ''[[Double Entendre|bigger]]''" and [[Female Gaze|glancing down]] right before sliding her hands down to below his waist level. He really doesn't care. In fact, he shuts her up and gets her to leave, much to her annoyance.

* There is a ''[[Fire Emblem]]: Seisen no Keifu'' [[Yonkoma|omake]] in which [[Stripperific|Sylvia]], a [[Magic Dance|Dancer]], gets quickly rebuffed by Sigurd when she tries to join. Recounting the experience to Levin, she concludes with, "I knew it, he's gay."

* ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater]]'': In a cutscene, Snake launches into [[Description Porn]] upon being handed a custom-made 1911 pistol -- completely disregarding the woman who gave it to him, who just moments ago stripped half-naked, expressly for his benefit.

* ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater]]'': In a cutscene, Snake launches into [[Description Porn]] upon being handed a custom-made 1911 pistol -- completely disregarding the woman who gave it to him, who just moments ago stripped half-naked, expressly for his benefit.

Line 236:

'''Ryuk:''' [[Memetic Molester|I'll be right there]] [[Terms of Endangerment|my little apple pie.]] <br />

'''Light:''' [[Sorry, I'm Gay|Yeah, I still don't see what the big deal is.]] }}

** Later when Misa snuggles up next to Light wearing nothing but a [[Black Bra and Panties]]:

{{quote|'''Light''': [[Camp Gay|Misa, stop that!]] [[Friendly Tickle Torture|That tickles!]] }}

Line 249:

* In an episode of ''[[Superman: The Animated Series]]'', Mxyzptlk's wife Gsptlsnz tries a variety of sexy poses and outfits to get his attention, but he's too absorbed in his plans to get revenge on Superman.

* ''[[Robot Chicken]]'': [[Expository Theme Tune|He's Randy the oblivious]] [http://robotchicken.wikia.com/wiki/Oblivious_Pizza_Delivery_Guy pizza delivery guy!]

* In ''[[Futurama]]'', Fry goes crazy in the "Insane in the mainframe" episode, thinking that he is a robot. Leela tries to restore Fry's humanity by giving him a passionate kiss... but i did not work. Even worst, when he got normal again, it seems he did not remember that.

* The Star Sapphire Corp in [[Green Lantern the Animated Series]] are a whole group of [[Ms. Fanservice]] dressing in pink, [[Stripperific]] outfits and trying to to secude any male they can find {{spoiler|[[Yandere|in order to trap them in giant crystals so they can be kept safe by their true loves forever]]}}. Their charms prove to have some effect on both Hal and Killowog (though the first is able to show a minor degree of resistance and Killowog only falls for it after they recruited his own true love), but when they attempt the same on [[Token Evil Teammate|Razer]], it fails spectacularly.
