- Naked Gun 2 1/2 makes fun of this trope.
Literature
- Every romance novel ever
- The inside front cover of the paperback edition of Misery, which featured a romance writer protagonist, is a hilarious parody of a romance paperback cover with a very familiar male model.
Live-Action TV
- An episode of Whose Line Is It Anyway had Ryan Stiles striking these kinds of poses during a game of Party Quirks.
- One America's Next Top Model photoshoot from Cycle 7 had the girls posing for one of these with Fabio himself.
