== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* As seen above, Huey from ''[[Baccano (Light Novel)|Baccano]]'' shows his true colours when hugging his young daughter Chane, who just offered to become voiceless so she could keep his secrets. Not that we didn't know Huey was a bad customer anyway...
* When Light embraces Misa in ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]'', his face is utterly diabolic. As his thoughts make clear, his "feelings" for her are simply the next step in using her as an [[Unwitting Pawn]]. [[Exploited Trope|This is an interesting example, as Misa had told him it's OK to just use her for his own advantage, regardless of his feelings, not a few moments before.]] [[Villain Protagonist|Not that it would have stopped Light even if she hadn't]].
* In the second episode of ''[[Darker Than Black|Darker than Black]]'', Hei has this when comforting Chiaki in his Li persona. While he speaks in a loving, idealistic manner, the audience can see the actual expression on his face is [[The Stoic|cold]], as are his [[Dull Eyes of Unhappiness|eyes]]. This is close to being an example of the "evil" veresion, as Hei is on assignment to kill Chiaki, but it's never clear whether he planned to go through with it {{spoiler|(which is moot, as she was a Doll programed with the memories of the real Chiaki to trap him)}} or would have looked for a way to save her.
* From ''[[Fairy Tail]]'', {{spoiler|Jellal (the evil version)}} gives one to Erza when he convinces her she {{spoiler|broke through Zeref's control on him}} with [[The Power of Love]]. Naturally, he's [[Not Brainwashed]].
 
Line 42:
* A less dramatic, subtler example with the [[Cooldown Hug]] Nikolai gives Kirill in ''[[Eastern Promises]]''. It's not as if Nikolai's oblivious to his feelings, though.
** A better example might be the hug in the basement, after Nikolai has been offered his stars. It lingers just long enough for Kirill to start looking like he half-ways expects a kiss; then Nikolai pats his cheek and moves away.
* ''[[North Byby Northwest]]'' - Roger is on the lam, meets Eve on a train, they get on ''very'' well...as he holds her we see her cool, calculating face, having slipped a note to his pursuers in the next compartment.
* Subverted in [[Sleeping Withwith the Enemy]], as we the audience already know that Laura doesn't want to have sex with her abusive husband. But for his benefit, she pretends to be aroused as he makes advances to her, right before we see her upset face over his shoulder.
* A humorous one in ''Charade'', when [[Audrey Hepburn]] has just learned that [[Cary Grant]] has been lying to her about who he is and why he's hanging out with her. Not knowing she knows, he gives her what's intended as a comforting hug while telling her he's moved into the room adjoining hers. The [[Oh Crap|way her eyes suddenly get very wide]] is hilarious.
* In ''[[The Godfather (Film)|The Godfather]] Part 2'', {{spoiler|during Mother Corleone's funeral, Michael and Fedo reconcile with a hug. As Mike embraces him, he makes a signal to his hitman Al to kill him.}}
* At the very end of ''[[Old BoyOldboy]]'', when Dae-Su hugs Mi-Do, we see his smile slowly change into a mask of grief. It is up to the viewer what this means, though it seems to imply that [[It Makes Sense in Context|the hypnosis]] may not have worked.
* In the 2001 TV movie version of ''[[Othello (Theatre)|Othello]]'', [[Christopher Eccleston]]'s character gets a really good one while hugging (John) Othello after the latter's promotion. That look makes it clear to anyone in the audience who wasn't already aware of the plot that Ben Jago is '''NOT''' the man Othello should be depending on.
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* This trope gets significant usage on ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]''. HRG (Noah Bennet) has done it to members of his family more than once, and it happens with the Petrellis fairly often too. Even [[Big Bad|Sylar]] has done it at least once.
* On ''[[V-2009|V]]'' 2009: Ryan is seen over his fiance's shoulder as he hugs her. The audience knows he's troubled because {{spoiler|Valerie just found out she's pregnant, and Ryan is a Visitor}}, but she doesn't know that. To complicate matters, he ''genuinely loves her''.
* ''[[Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide|Neds Declassified School Survival Guide]]'': As part of their plan to convince Ned's [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] Missy that he and Moze are dating, Moze hugs Ned... and holds on after Missy leaves.
Line 63:
** In "The Dark Age", Jenny is temporarily knocked out when a demon-possessed man breaks out of his cell. As a guilt-stricken Giles later holds her, her eyes flash in an "uh-oh" moment.
** "Becoming, Part 2". Buffy realises that Angel has got his soul back and hugs him. As Buffy does so her eyes widen in horror because she can see a vortex to the hell dimension opening behind Angel; she tells Angel to close his eyes and [[Deadly Hug|does what she must]].
* ''[[Being Human (TV)|Being Human]]'' had Owen hugging his fiancee, trying to reassure her that their house isn't haunted. He is, of course, staring straight at Annie, complete with [[Psychotic Smirk]], while he tells the woman he's hugging he "can't see anything".
** The U.S. Remake has Danny hugging his girlfriend after convincing her that his ex-fiancee Sally's death was accidental. {{spoiler|In actuality, Danny killed her intentionally.}}
* Drake on ''[[Drake and Josh]]'' hugs his [[Girl of the Week]] while making the "Call me" gesture to another girl.
Line 76:
 
== [[Web Original]] ==
* Oddly subverted in ''[[Ruby Quest (Roleplay)|Ruby Quest]]'', which would seem to be asking for this kind of thing. At the end of the first day, Ruby and Tom give each other a ''badly'' needed hug. Then Tom opens his eyes... {{spoiler|and, well, he opens his eyes. He has to open them sometime, right?}}
** After reading the story to its very conclusion, and re-reading to this point, there are three probable reasons for this seemingly out-of-place dramatic moment: {{spoiler|Perhaps he is feeling the first effects of the arsenic-laden fish. Perhaps he is vaguely aware, despite the amnesia, that he is hugging the person who once killed him. Perhaps he never had amnesia, is acutely aware that she has amnesia, and is biding his time until he gets out of his cell and the Metal Glen, and away from that maniac Red. Admittedly, his later reactions seem genuine enough to preclude that last option, but the penultimate panel remains ambiguous...}}
* The [http://www.quickmeme.com/Suspiciously-Evil-Sloth/ Suspiciously Evil Sloth] meme is based on this trope, adding humorous captions to a picture where a man is hugging/holding a sloth, and behind his back, the sloth seems to be making a [[Psychotic Smirk]].
Line 88:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* A [[Lampshade]] of this occurs in ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' when Jazz adds an unnecessary commentary as she hugs her "Uncle Vlad". ''("Keep hugging, we'll see who hugs last.")''
* Toyed with in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' when Aang and Iroh rescue Katara and Zuko, who had been [[Locked in Aa Room]]. While both pairs are genuinely happy to be reunited, [[The Hero|Aang]] and [[Anti-Villain|Zuko]] aren't thrilled to be working together, and shoot each other [[Death Glare|Death Glares]] across the shoulders of their hug-partners.
* This short animated film [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gxrI5CPYIM&feature=related Red] where Little Red Riding Hood refuses the advances of the wolf (who looks like a [[Little Bit Beastly|slightly feral]] child wearing a wolf costume) after spilling the cakes she was going to bring to her grandmother. After leaving brokenhearted, Red encounters a unicorn-horned rabbit, which she hugs (not noticing the [[Revealing Hug|evil toothed grin it makes]] before mutating into a bear-sized horned monster that was ready to devour Red before the wolf comes back in time to save the day.
