Line 3:
[[Ms. Fanservice]] approaches her target. Wearing her [[Form
And her efforts to seduce the guy fall completely flat.
Line 9:
Why? Usually because the [[Knight in Shining Armor|intended "victim"]] [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness|is completely]] [[The Fettered|and totally]] [[Celibate Hero|above such things]]. Or maybe he just knows better than to [[Honey Trap|play Ms. Fanservice's game]]. Or he's pre-occupied. Or else [[Asexuality|he's just not interested]].
[[Sorry, I'm Gay]] is a subtrope. May result in a request to [[Please Put Some Clothes On]], depending on the nudity level of Ms. Fanservice at the time. Compare to [[Not Distracted By the Sexy]], where people aren't intentionally ignoring the fanservice so much as they don't seem to notice it in the first place. Can play a part in a character's decision to [[Defector From Decadence|Defect From Decadence]]. Often used in tandem with [[Ready for Lovemaking]], to better subvert it.

Line 38:
** Kyon seems to ignore every aspect of Haruhi's fanservice-oriented outfits except for how socially disruptive they are to everyone else. "Seems" being the operative word, as he is a notoriously [[Unreliable Narrator]].
** It's also possible that her troublesome behavior and attitude simply override any sexual appeal he (consciously) feels for her at this point.
* During [[Improbable Weapon User|Mousse]]'s introductory story in ''[[Ranma One Half]]'', Ranma, who is stuck in female form, tried to pass off her girl body as an elaborate disguise meant to humiliate the Chinese martial artist -- going as far as to equate his [[Hyperspace Arsenal|Hidden Weapons]] style as magic tricks and dressing up as a [[Playboy Bunny]] magician's assistant. Mousse was so enraged that he [[Clothing Damage|systematically destroyed Ranma's (already scant) clothing]], leaving her wearing nothing but shoes and a few centimeters of fabric on her crotch and derriere. The Fûrinkan audience [[Fan Service|was crying tears of joy]], but Mousse remained fully focused on tearing the remains of the "disguise" to pieces. (It doesn't hurt that while Mousse is [[Blind Without
** Subverted in the manga, when Ranma converts one of his unisex outfits into a bikini, so that guys will want to take him out on a date and buy him lunch. When this doesn't work, he's horrified, thinking that he's no longer appealing to men. But as it turns out, there just aren't any men on the beach, because the owner of the island forbade any males to be there.

* In the ''[[Lupin III]]'' movie ''First Contact'', Fujiko takes a shower in Jigen's apartment, comes out in just a towel, and tries to seduce him by leaning over to show her [[Boobs of Steel|generous cleavage]] off, and then when he ignores that, starts to drop the towel. He uses the barrel of his magnum to hold it on her body while simultaneously threatening to shoot her if she tries that again. This is also a slightly defining moment for Jigen, as he is the only one consistently unaffected by Fujiko's appearance (even Goemon is affected; he just blushes and looks away when she's naked though).
** The second episode of ''The Woman Named Fujiko Mine'' (wherein they hadn't met yet) has a similar scene where he at first pretends to be accepting her offer then grabs the knife she was concealing and threatens her with it.
Line 136:
* In ''[[Rome]]'', Cleopatra, the woman who succeeded to keep her kingdom by seducing both Julius Caesar and Mark Anthony, tried to use her wiles on Octavius, Caesar's successor and the new Emperor of Rome. In response, he is polite, understanding, charming, and ''not fazed for even a second by her come-ons''. [[Driven to Suicide|Cleopatra's response to this]] [[It Was His Sled|is well known]].
* An episode of ''[[Spin City]]'' had the team trying to get a new chair for the office, but the guy in charge wouldn't give it to them because they had broken it by racing in the corridor. When the girls tried to seduce him, he didn't even look up. They decide that he is gay and send Carter after him, but he quit in disgust before they could confirm it.

* 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.

* Another [[Older Than Feudalism]] example: Joseph, in [[The Bible]], was repeatedly approached by the wife of his master Potiphar. Since sleeping with her would've betrayed his master, he refused her over and over. Finally she attempted to rape him outright, [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit|then accused him of same when he ran off to escape her]].
* Possibly the [[Ur Example]] would be [[The Epic of Gilgamesh|Gilgamesh completely rejecting the Goddess of Love Inanna/Ishtar]], because he's heard her lovers tend to go through some hell once she's done with them. Of course, spurning her doesn't [[Heads I Win, Tails You Lose|get him into her good graces either]]....
Line 214:
== Web Comics ==
* ''[[Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|Order of the Stick]]'':
** For a long time, Elan's typical attempt to distract enemies with illusions meant an illusory sexy female of the enemy's race. It has never worked quite as planned. The chimera explains that he's in a relationship. A prison guard replies "Sorry, happily married" while the other says "[[Sorry, I'm Gay|Sorry, I'm gay]]". Thog rejects pretty girls for fear of [[Girls Have Cooties|cooties]]. Ironically, this ends up working quite well on Thog once they stop trying to entice him with sex appeal and start trying to scare him with cooties.
** [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0352.html This strip] has Roy's attention-seeking little sister completely failing to distract Durkon from his spell with her "attributes".
** In [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0355.html this one], when Roy is confronted by a [[Catholic School Girls Rule|schoolgirl outfit]]-wearing [[Horny Devils|Sabine]] and she offered herself to him, he chooses to defenestrate her.
Line 227:
* [http://jalopnik.com/5140532/roadside-ass+sistance-a-hilarious-take-on-clich-garage-porno This] "PG-rated porn film".
* During the episode [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhQVSyAAH0A "Lewd Lingerie"] of ''[[Neurotically Yours]]'', Germaine's second attempt at screwing with guys in the store (the first time resulted in [[Your Head Asplode|a guys head exploding]]) is met with no interest. Because it's [[Camp Gay|Franklin]]
{{quote| '''Franklin:''' Please [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|bitch]], I'm here shopping.}}
* [[Lampshaded]] In ''[[Death Note the Abridged Series Kpts 4 tv (Web Video)|Death Note the Abridged Series Kpts 4 tv]]'':
{{quote| '''Light:''' I have a question-why is it that whenever we want to work on the Kira investigation we always meet at my apartment? <br />
Line 234:
'''Misa''' ([[Stripperiffic|in stripper-ware]]): Okay guys it looks like you have everything you need so I'm gonna go to bed now! Alone! Naked! [[Too Dumb to Live|And with the door unlocked!]] Bye! <br />
'''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 243:
** The episode "Mad Love" shows [[Perky Female Minion|Harley]] trying to get Mr. J's attention by wearing the skimpiest red night dress that could '''ever''' have been allowed on a children's cartoon, and lying suggestively in front of him seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVAdPqZ6enU&feature=related here]. He roughly shoves her away, too absorbed in his plans. Later, Harley gets closer to killing Batman than anyone else in the series becauser Mr. J spends more attention on ''him'' than he does on her. Talk about [[Foe Yay]]...
{{quote| '''Harley:''' C'mon Mistah J! Don'cha wanna [[Double Entendre|rev up your Harley?]] VROOM! VROOM!}}
** There's also the scene where she celebrates their anniversary by rising up out of a giant pie covered in banana filling, and it's ambiguous whether she's wearing anything underneath. She's also singing "Happy Anniversary" like [[Marilyn Monroe]] and asking him to try some of her pie. The Joker promptly throws her out. Then [[Unfortunate Implications|hyenas]] start licking her, [[But You Screw One Goat!|while she's on all fours.]]
* In one ''[[American Dad (Animation)|American Dad]]'' episode, Francine tries to sweet talk some CIA scientists into giving her a top-secret formula. She tries brushing the straps of her dress off her shoulders, and shimmying off her panties and tossing them at the scientists, but they don't react at all. When she mentions she has ''brownies'', however... [[Large Ham|BROWNIES!!]]
* In ''[[Sym Bionic Titan]]'', Kimmy's attempt to seduce Octus into doing her work for her fails miserably.
