{{quote|'''Naota:''' What did you do to me?!<br />
'''Haruko:''' What, the CPR?<br />
'''Naota:''' That's not what I meant.<br />
'''Mamimi:''' Did she put her tongue in?|''[[FLCL]]'', episode 1}}
 
{{quote|'''Pacha:''' For the last time, ''it was not a kiss!''<br />
'''Kuzco:''' Well, ''whatever'' you call it, it was ''disgusting!'' And if you'd done what I ordered you to do in the first place, we all could have been spared your little ''kiss of life''.|''[[The Emperor's New Groove|The Emperors New Groove]]''}}
 
Line 54:
* In an issue of ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'', Northstar gives CPR to the homophobic Paulie Provenazo, with whom he was paired, to all appearances, because Jean Grey hated them both. Paulie wasn't happy.
* Played with in ''[[Runaways]]''. Gert revives Chase, which apparently causes them to fall in love with each other. Not that Gert will admit this.
{{quote| '''Chase:''' ... think I got... brain damage... 'cause suddenly... you're the hottest chick... I've ever seen... ''(they kiss)''<br />
'''Gert:''' I was reventilating him. Anyone who says otherwise gets fed to my %$@#ing dinosaur. }}
* Used and lampshaded in ''[[Ruse]]'', when Simon revives Emma this way and Emma promptly scolds him for "skipping the chest compressions".
Line 64:
** Beware the pop-out llama tongue.
** Lampshaded by a cutaway to Pacha's children later in the film:
{{quote| '''Pacha's Daughter:''' Well in my dream, Dad had to kiss a llama!<br />
'''Pacha's Son:''' Yeah, like ''that'' would ever happen! }}
 
Line 84:
* ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' has two types. The Ironmen, who worship the Drowned God and practice a type of baptism in which the subject is drowned, have developed a crude form of CPR called the Kiss of Life to revive each other. The death rites for followers of R'hllor include a kiss on the lips of the deceased, which starts to occasionally bring certain people back to life.
* From ''Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim'', David Sedaris relates a story of when his brother was drowning:
{{quote| "I headed back in his direction, trying to recall the water safety class I'd taken at the country club...all that came to me was the instructor, an athletic seventeen year old named Chip Pancake. I remembered the spray of freckles on his broad, bronzed shoulders, and my small rush of hope as he searched the assembled students for a resuscitation victim...and the crushing disappointment I'd felt when Chip selected Kimberly Matthews, who would later describe the experience as 'lifechanging.'"}}
* Played with in the second ''[[Slayers]]'' light novel. When Lina wakes up after nearly drowning, Gourry says he performed CPR on her. Lina gets flustered, thinking he gave her mouth-to-mouth. However, it turns out [[Idiot Hero]] Gourry doesn't actually know what CPR means, as he then goes on to specify: "I laid you down on your stomach and kicked you in the back".
* Princess Petulia does this to Roger in ''A Barrel of Laughs, a Vale of Tears.''
Line 119:
** Admittedly, Sasha ''did'' remember the chest compressions, even if it [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|looked like she was feeling him up]].
** A RIG mini-game uses and lampshades the trope in the Game Over sequence, when Lex wakes up and discovers that he's been revived by [[Ho Yay|his only]] ''[[Ho Yay|male]]'' [[Ho Yay|coworker]].
{{quote| '''Russell Ace:''' ''(proudly)'' And that's how CPR works!<br />
'''Becky:''' [[Lampshade Hanging|You don't do mouth-to-mouth for a concussion!]] }}
* Subverted in [[Suburban Knights]] when [[Obscurus Lupa]] passes out during a battle. Both [[Bennet The Sage]] and [[The Nostalgia Critic]] want to [[Ship Tease|give her mouth-to-mouth]] but they argue for so long over who gets to give it to her that she wakes up before they resolve the matter.
