* A variation from ''[[Whatever Happened to Thethe Man of Tomorrow?]]?''
{{quote| '''Hooker:''' I could break your heart for $50.<br />
'''Metallo:''' ''(Rips open shirt to reveal a grappling hook where his heart should be)'' I doubt it. }}
* Lampshaded in ''[[X -Men|Cable]] [[Ho Yay|and]] [[Deadpool]]'':
{{quote| '''Cable:''' Did you go to a bar with a ''grenade'' in your pocket?<br />
'''Deadpool:''' Or am I just happy to see you? }}
** 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 (Comic Bookcomics)|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 ''[[Top Ten|Top 10]]'', after getting knocked into Dust Devil, Jackie Phantom says "That had better be a derringer in your pocket," to which Dust Devil replies, looking insulted, "Derringer?"
* 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?"
 
 
== Fan Works ==
* No, it never does occur in ''[[Harry Potter]].'' but as Makani demonstrates, [http://makani.deviantart.com/art/harry-and-ginny-that-one-part-29065414 it should have.]
* Mai said it concerning a Lightforce Sword in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: theThe Abridged Series]]''.
* Inverted and subverted in the same line in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh GX the Abridged Series]]''.
{{quote| '''Alexis''': Is that an erection in your pocket or are you just a tennis ball?}}
* This seems to be a theme in ''[[Doctor Who]]'' fanfiction; of course, the [[Power Perversion Potential|potential unconventional uses]] for sonic screwdrivers don't really help.
* Subverted with [http://vanhinck.deviantart.com/art/Nice-Girls-Don-t-Date-Psychos-103792231?offset=0 this] picture of [[The Joker]].
* Parodied in ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero (Fanfic)|Kyon Big Damn Hero]]'', after {{spoiler|Kyon gets a new phone/PDA made from Ryouko's leftover data}}. Whilst the phone was still in his hand, this was said:
{{quote| '''Tsuruya''': Is that the end of the world in your hand or are you just happy to see us? }}
* [http://cosmicduckling.com/spirk/Kissing_by_Farf.jpg This] ''[[Star Trek]]'' drawing.
* In the ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]'' fic ''[[Fever Dreams (Fanfic)|Fever Dreams]]'':
{{quote| '''Light:''' You're hard. <br />
'''L''' (thinking): No, I'm not. That's just the gun in my pocket. }}
Line 52:
 
== Films ==
* ''[[Its Pat]]'': When asked if Pat has a banana in a pocket [[Or Are You Just Happy to See Me?]], Pat simply whips out a banana and says "I, uh, have a banana 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".
* An interesting use in ''[[Ace Ventura]] Pet Detective'': First Ace feels what he thinks is a gun while Lois Einhorn tries to seduce him, and points it out ("Your gun is digging into my hip."). But later, when he learns [[Gender Bender|who Einhorn really is]], Ace gets promptly [[Squick|squicked]] and begins to cry "It wasn't a gun! ''It wasn't a gun!''", with the Boy George song "[[All There Is to Know About "The Crying Game"|The Crying Game]]" playing in the background.
Line 70:
 
== Literature ==
* ''[[Discworld]]'' has the old Troll pickup line, mentioned in ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Moving Pictures|Moving Pictures]]'', "Is that the legendary Sceptre of Magma who was King of the Mountain, Smiter of Thousands, Yea, Even Tens of Thousands, Ruler of the Golden River, Master of the Bridges, Delver in Dark Places, Crusher of Many Enemies *takes a breath* in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?"
* Cawti, visiting [[Dragaera|Vlad Taltos]] in his bedroom, noticed a bulge in the blanket and asked, "Is that a knife in your hand, or are you happy to see me?" Vlad answered truthfully, "Both."
* In a moment that's a beautiful microcosm of the series of as a whole, Elaine, [[Dresden Files|Harry's]] former girlfriend that he spent most of his life thinking he'd killed, returns suddenly with a "Hello Harry, is that a wand in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?" Magic, noir mystery, Harry being a nerd, and Jim Butcher's fantastic sense of humor, all in one line.
Line 79:
{{quote| '''Gift Shop Girl:''' Is that a roll of quarters in your pocket, or are you just having a really good time?<br />
'''J.D.:''' Actually it ''is'' a roll of quarters. ''(takes it out and shrugs awkwardly)'' Laundry day... }}
* In ''[[The X -Files]]'' episode "Hollywood A.D.", the on-screen adaptations of Mulder and Scully have a moment.
{{quote| '''Movie Scully:''' Is that your flashlight, Mulder, or are you just happy to be lying on top of me?<br />
'''Movie Mulder:''' My flashlight. }}
Line 86:
{{quote| '''Mulder''': That's my penlight. <br />
'''Scully''': Really? I thought a longstanding curiosity had just been satisfied. }}
* Even ''[[Pee Wees-wee's Playhouse]]'' had a [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]] moment: It substituted "wrench", and had Miss Yvonne say it to Carlos. He had a wrench, obviously; The Radar isn't blind.
* Lord Flasheart does this to himself in series two of ''[[Black AdderBlackadder]]''. "Nursie! I like it firm and fruity. Am I pleased to see you, or did I just put a CANOE in my pocket?!".
* Used in ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'', though without the exact line. After {{spoiler|Olive kissed Ned}} in a previous episode, Olive tries to make light of the awkwardness between them. When they bump against each other, she says "This is... what it is, isn't it? Unless that's not a rolling pin under your apron." Ned, of course, reaches under his apron and produces a rolling pin. Olive is ''quite'' the optimist, it seems.
* Half-used in an episode of ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' where Carter and O'Neill are lying together for warmth.
Line 107:
'''Michael:''' A Chunky. ''(takes Chunky candy bar out of his pocket)'' }}
* Similarly in ''[[The Thin Blue Line]]'' - PC Maggie Habib is getting into character for an entrapment operation, and uses the line on PC Kevin Goody - a naive manchild type character with a crush on her. After collapsing in embarrassment, he replies that "Actually, it's a Curly-Wurly" (chocolate bar)
* In the ''[[3rd Rock Fromfrom the Sun|3rd Rock From The Sun]]'' episode "Why Dickie Can't Teach", Harry enters an executive meeting with a salami in one of his pockets (long story) and someone asks him if that's a salami in his pocket. He, of course, replies, "Nah, I'm just happy to see ya."
* Played with (again) in a fairly recent ''[[Robin Hood (TV series)|Robin Hood]]'' TV series:
{{quote| '''Marion:''' Why Robin, is that Sir Guy's sword in your scabbard?<br />
'''Robin:''' No, I'm just happy to see you! }}
Line 121:
{{quote| '''Woman''': Is that a gun in your pocket or are you happy to see me?<br />
'''Man''': Both. *Shoots her* }}
* Lampshaded slightly in the series ''[[Alien Nation (TV series)|Alien Nation]]''; a neighbor of Detective Matt Sikes gives him a plate of poached trout for dinner, in gratitude for an act of kindness that Matt didn't remember performing. He then visits Newcomer neighbor (and inevitable romantic interest) Cathy, who greets him teasingly at the door; "Well, Matt, is that a fish in your hand or am I happy to see you...no, that didn't come out right."
* Subverted in an episode of the short-lived series ''[[The Commish]]''. In a dream episode set in an old crime-noir setting, the main character pulls a gun out of his pocket. To which, the femme fatale responds, "That was a gun? I thought you were just happy to see me!".
* Happens in ''[[Bones]]'' when Booth and the title character go to a strip club, and the woman that they're questioning gives Booth a lap dance. He insists, "That's my gun." He does, however, send Bones away at the end of the scene.
* Played with in ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]''.
{{quote| '''Dean:''' Oh God, please let that be a rifle.<br />
'''Jo:''' (holding a gun to his back) No, I'm just really happy to see you. }}
* In the climactic scene of the third episode of ''[[Sherlock (TV)|Sherlock]]'', Moriarty asks Sherlock "Is that a British Army Browning L9A1 in your pocket? Or are you just pleased to see me?", to which Sherlock replies "[[Foe Yay|Both]]" and aims the (actual) gun at him.
* On one episode of the mock talk show ''[[Night Stand With Dick Dietrich]],'' two guests were competing for a free plastic surgery; a woman with a huge nose and a man with a tiny penis. Over the course of the show they fell in love and decided they didn't need the surgery. As they embraced for the first time...
{{quote| '''Woman:''' Hey, is that a roll of pennies in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?<br />
'''Man:''' Well, I am happy to see you, but...(takes coins out of his pocket) yeah, it's just a roll of pennies. }}
* ''[[Married... Withwith Children]]'' played with this trope at least twice.
** Peg once asked Al if that was money in your pocket or if he was happy to see her. She then realized it had to be money.
** Kelly once had to play the role of [[Madame Curie]] and assumed she was some hooker but Bud quickly explained who Madame Curie was. The mistake wasn't mentioned during the rest of the episode but [[Brick Joke|was referenced to]] when Kelly's version of Madame Curie asked somebody if that was radium in his pocket of if he was happy to see her.
Line 158:
== Video Games ==
* Used in ''[[Monkey Island]]'': "Is that a banana in your pocket or are you just happy to see us?" The hero had just stolen a banana from these guys. They weren't pleased.
** Also in the [[PSPlay Station 3]] version of ''[[Tales of Monkey Island]]'', one of the bronze trophies obtained in Chapter 1 (when Guybrush sees the effects of the Pox of LeChuck on the inhabitants) is labeled, "Is That a Pox on Your Face, or Are You Just Angry to See Me?"
* Both ''[[Civilization]] 3'' and ''4'' give us this line from Catherine the Great, parodying the usual depictions of her as a sex-hungry slut:

* Walking up to female villagers you saved in ''[[Overlord]]'' may cause them to say: "Is that a pumpkin in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"

** The play in question being "''[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20051017 The Socket Wench of Prague]''" and is [[Take Our Word for It|well-known for being risqué]] -- the circus wanted to leave town quickly, and suggested using it to get thrown out, until they found that the prince wanted to see that specific play. [[Hotter and Sexier|"PS: Tart it up."]]
* Art and Kat are trapped in a closet in ''[[Sequential Art (Webcomicwebcomic)|Sequential Art]]''; Kat is about to say this line when Art yells "Broom Handle!" Later, Kat checks the grill in the door to see if anyone is outside, which puts her rear in proximity to his groin. She shoots him a dirty look and he defends ''"Well: stop rubbing your arse against me!!"''
* The ''[[Exterminatus Now]]'' strip [http://exterminatusnow.comicgenesis.com/d/20070127.html where Jamilla kisses Eastwood] features something similar:
{{quote| '''Jamilla:''' What's that poking my in the thigh under you coat?<br />

* ''[[Comic Who]]'' does this with Jack and the Doctor. They hug, and Jack asks if the Doctor had a banana in his pocket, or was just happy to see him. [http://comic-who.blogspot.com/2012/01/banana-in-pocket.html Jack's disappointed.]
