Or Are You Just Happy to See Me?: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

 

Bob is a private detective. He's sitting in his office and waiting to meet his client, Alice. Bob has never met Alice in person before; he's only spoken to her on the phone. He has seen a picture of her before and, well, he ...likes what he sees. The door to his office opens and he [[Double Entendre|stands up]]. In walks Alice. Alice is extremely beautiful in a [[Gaussian Girl]] or [[Hello, Nurse!]] sort of way. Bob tries to [[Double Entendre|keep his excitement down]] at meeting this gorgeous woman and tries to remain all business. Alice, however, is all too aware of the sort of the effect she has on men. Noticing the look on Bob's face... and Bob's ''pants'', she offers a sweet, sultry smile, and says, ''"Why detective, is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"''

{{examples}}

* Inverted in the second volume of ''[[The Kindaichi Case Files]]'': Miyuki, wearing a low-cut [[She Cleans Up Nicely|dress]], crouches down in front of Kindaichi, giving him [[Fan Service|a good look at her cleavage]]. As she stands up, she notices his reaction and scolds him for keeping stuff in his suit pockets.

* After Sechs gets a male body in ''[[Gunnm|Battle Angel Alita: Last Order]]'', the team's Deckman servant greets him with this line.

* Done in the infamous ''[[Code Geass]]'' swimsuit Picture Drama. Cornelia's bodyguards Guilford and Darlton are standing watch as Cornelia and Euphemia try on swimsuits, with a lot of suggestive dialog. Immediately afterwards, we see Guilford looking down as he asks Darlton if that's really the best place to store his handgun (we later see that he's in a Speedo).

 

* A variation from ''[[Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?]]?''

{{quote|'''Hooker:''' I could break your heart for $50.

** Played with again in an issue of a later volume after taking a [[Groin Attack]] which hurt Black Widow as well. See the Page Quote. Cue Black Widow trying to hold laughter in.

* An issue of DC Comics's series ''[[Young Justice (comics)|Young Justice]]'' featured Superboy, Robin and Impluse at a Halloween party. A cheerleader flirts with Robin asking if he has a Batarang in his pocket, or if he's just happy to see her. He responses "Um, I'm [[Love You and Everybody|happy to see everyone here]]..."

* In ''[[Earth X|Universe X]]'', Venom (Mayday Parker) and dad [[Spider-Man|Spidey]] are out of the fight with a gigantic Absorbing Man due to being hopelessly outclassed (he's taken on the attributes of ''Manhattan itself'' and is taller than the city skyline), so Spidey coaches her on one-liners "to make everyone think we have a plan". She finishes up with "Is that the Chrysler Building in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" Everyone glares at them for making light of the catastrophe, and Peter responds with "Damn. We're in ''that'' much trouble?"

'''L''' (thinking): No, I'm not. That's just the gun in my pocket. }}

 

* ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]'': "Is that a rabbit in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?" Rabbit, natch.

** It should be noted that the rabbit is very obvious and her voice makes it abundantly clear it's sarcasm. Eddie immediately ask her to "cut the comedy".

* A subversion from ''[[Scrubs]]''

{{quote|'''Gift Shop Girl:''' Is that a roll of quarters in your pocket, or are you just having a really good time?

* ''[[Lois and Clark]]'': At the two-part finale of Season 1, [[Lex Luthor]] bought Kryptonite from a dealer who tried to kill him to get the money and keep the Kryptonite. After the dealer and Lex's hired double killed each other, Luthor reclaimed the Kryptonite and searched the dealer's pockets for the Kryptonite, asking if there was Kryptonite inside them or if he was happy to see Luthor.

* Subverted in ''[[Golden Girls]]'': [[Lovable Sex Maniac|Blanche Devereaux]] asks one of the men at the local bar this. Turns out he really ''is'' carrying a gun in his pocket.
