Like [[Literal Ass-Kicking]], certain rear-end related sayings aren't always figurative. Often used as a form of embarassment, [['''Literal Ass Kissing]]''' is a rather ultimate form of humiliation and submission.

* A [[Take That]] gag in ''[[Space Jam (Film)|Space Jam]]'':

* The 2000 film version of ''[[How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Filmfilm)|How the Grinch Stole Christmas]]''.

* [[Older Than Print]]: "The Millers Tale" in ''[[The Canterbury Tales (Literature)|The Canterbury Tales]]'', which might also be the first ever literary reference to "open your mouth and close your eyes..."

{{quote| Dark as pitch, or as coal, was the night, and at the window she put out her hole, and Absolom, who knew no better or worse but with his mouth he kissed her naked ass so sweetly, before he was aware of this.}}

** Subverted later in the same story, when Absalom gets a red hot poker and returns to the window. When he calls for his kiss again, the lady's lover sticks his ass out the window to pull the same prank. [[Toasted Buns|*Sizzle* ]]

* Thanks to the [[Literal Genie]] nature of the magic bean in ''[[The Tenth Kingdom]]'', this trope is the result when [[Butt Monkey]] ([[PunA Worldwide Punomenon|ha-ha!]]) Tony Lewis wishes for his boss "and his entire family to ''kiss my ass'' and be my slaves forever". It doesn't help that at least one of the Murrays must have been something of a brown-noser already, since he insists on kissing Tony's ass repeatedly. (Or could that also have been covered under the "forever" part?)

* From [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]]: [[Vince McMahon]]'s "Kiss My Ass" Club. It was forced closed when [[Dwayne Johnson|The Rock]] made him kiss [[Stout Strength|Rikishi Fatu]]'s ass.

{{quote| If you want to get to the top, prepare to kiss a lot of the bottom.}}

* An old tradition in the South of France: people who lose a game of ''petanque'' 13-0 are supposed to "kiss Fanny's bottom". Many bars and petanque fields have a drawing or sculpture of Fanny presenting her butt to the loser, as seen [https://web.archive.org/web/20120504202501/http://photos.blogs.liberation.fr/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/2007/10/25/100_2919%2Fphotos%2Funcategorized%2F2007%2F10%2F25%2F100_2919.jpg here].
