Post-Kiss Catatonia: Difference between revisions

 

Not to be confused with [[Kiss of Death]].

 

* ''[[Peach Girl]]'': When Kairi kisses Momo in the first episode, she reacts by going stiff and staring straight ahead in utter shock. Kairi thinks this means she liked it and tries to kiss her again but just receives a [[Groin Attack]] from Momo for his attempt.

* In ''[[Sonic X]]'', episode 45, Rouge defeats Tails in the face-off using this as her secret weapon. Serious contender for [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]. I didn't know the bat was a cougar.

* A rare dramatic occurrence happens with Ryo of [[FAKE]], after the second time Dee kisses him (not counting the [[Fake-Out Make-Out]]). This is because Dee was unexpectedly intense, telling Ryo to "Never dismiss [him] again" after Ryo treated the first kiss as a joke and Ryo was taken off guard that Dee was "such a good kisser".

* In episode 7 of ''[[Princess Princess]]'' [[Ho Yay|Yuujirou kisses Tooru]] to drive [[Stalker with a Crush|Sayaka]] away and after the kiss Tooru is shown to stare ahead with a shocked look on his face.

* Subverted in one of the [[Haruhi Suzumiya]] light novels. Nakagawa thinks he has this reaction to seeing Yuki, but it turns out to be latent esper powers causing him to see some part of the Integrated Data Sentient Entity, resulting in him freezing for several hours from information overload.

 

* Scrooge McDuck had this intentionally used to stun for a critical moment in ''[[The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck|The Prisoner of White Agony Creek]]''. Goldie wasn't expecting it to become a rare case of ''mutual'' post kiss catatonia, though.

 

== Fan Works ==

* Happens several times in ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'', including once to {{spoiler|Haruhi after starting a [[Forceful Kiss]] via [[Necktie Leash]] with Kyon}} and once to {{spoiler|Kyon, whom Mikuru(big) kissed}} a few hours earlier.

 

== Films -- Animation ==

* [[Rango]] plays with this trope. One of the characters, Beans, has a "condition" that causes her to go catatonic (and amnesic) for a moment whenever she gets angry or scared. At one point, she goes catatonic, and ''then'' Rango kisses her on the cheek and quickly leaves, {{spoiler|but she comes out of it smoothly and has full memory of what happened, showing that she was faking it}}.

* ''[[Rio]]'' After Jewel plants one on Blu, he completely blisses out for a few moments, his body going on autopilot.

 

== Films -- Live Action ==

* In ''[[My Girl (manga)|My Girl]] 2'', the title character shares her first kiss with her uncle's stepson just before she goes home from her visit. Afterward, the boy walks through the airport looking completely blissed out and dazed.

* In ''How to Steal a Million'', [[Peter O'Toole|Simon]] kisses [[Audrey Hepburn|Nicole]] after she said sarcastically that it'd be the next thing he asked for. (He'd just asked her to [[It Makes Sense In Context|wipe away the fingerprints he left while burglarizing her father's house]].) She returns home in a daze and cleans up the prints as requested, not noticing her dad's curiosity.

 

== Literature ==

* In the fourth book of the ''[[Percy Jackson and The Olympians|Percy Jackson]]'' series, {{spoiler|Annabeth}} gives Percy a kiss as he goes off on a presumably suicidal mission. He sits there in a daze for a while until he hears approaching doom.

* The only account in [[King Arthur|Arthuriana]] of a woman donning armor has her pretending to be an attacking knight in order to startle her [[Courtly Love|suitor]] out of his rapturous contemplation of her beauty.

 

== Live-Action TV ==

* ''[[Lois and Clark]]'': Happened to Lois after her first ''[[Fake-Out Make-Out|real]]'' kiss with Clark. So much so, that it took a frickin' ''car bomb'' to snap her out of it.

* Not exactly romantic: ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]'' had Mike McShane [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OjtcE2PTAU#t=2m35s plant a big wet one] on Brad Sherwood. It probably would've lasted longer had Brad not been buzzed out.

 

== Video Games ==

* [[Defrosting Ice Queen|Miranda]] is rather confused after her first kiss with [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|Renegade!Shepard]] in ''[[Mass Effect 2]]''.

* In ''[[Yo-Jin-Bo]]'', Sayori can give Ittosai a kiss on the cheek which turns him into a "moaning zombie" - and has a similar effect on the rest of the guys who are looking on.

 

== Web Comics ==

* Gilgamesh Wulfenbach gets a mild form of this in ''[[Girl Genius]]'', when Agatha [[Smooch of Victory|on an adrenalin rush lays one on him]]. He's still with it enough to react to the imminent danger that shows up soon after, though.

* This was used as a battle tactic by a mind-controlled Mai Shiranui in [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/gamer/index.php?comic=67&num=3 this]{{Dead link}} ''Captain Gamer: OOC'' strip (#68), to which the title character practically [[Hangs a Lampshade]], monologuing, "Hormones. My greatest weakness!"

* In ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]'', both Durkon and Vaarsuvius are caught in a version of this after Belkar kisses V while in a drunk stupor on New Year.

* Vincent of ''[[Precocious (Webcomic)|Precocious]]'' stumbles around in a loopy daze after his puppy-love crush Autumn kisses him. Still leaves Vincent's love unrequited, though: [http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2010/08/16 Autumn just wanted her blackmail folder back.]

* Faye falls victim in [http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1725 this] ''[[Questionable Content]]'' strip.

* Vincent in ''[[The Cyantian Chronicles|Darius]]'' [http://cyantian.net/blog/2011/12/14/12142011/ faints]{{Dead link}} after getting a [["Shut Up" Kiss]] from a vixen, telling him to pretend to have fun beforehand.

 

== Web Original ==

* ''[[Sailor Nothing]]'': Himei uses this trope to stall Seiki while she [[This Is Something He's Got to Do Himself|has something she's got to do herself]].

 

== Western Animation ==
