Sexual Karma: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

If fictional characters knew that being good [[Good People Have Good Sex|gets you good sex]], there might not be any villains. One common way this shows up, especially in [[Comedy]], is with Sexual Karma. Though not just in the sense of "you give good sex, you get good sex back" (which can certainly come into play, but is not the end of it). What happens is that good characters will, through wacky and unpredictable happenstance, usually end up falling into a veritable [[Sexy Man, Instant Harem|harem of highly desirable and willing members of their preferred gender]], while the [[Jerkass]] will be dumped into a veritable harem of their ''least'' favored members of their (un)preferred gender. ''[[Romanticized Abuse|While in chains.]] '''[[And I Must Scream|Where no one can hear them scream.]]'''''

Implementation varies, they don't always fall through a skylight onto a pile of cushions with various scantily clad concubines (though that ''is'' the classic). Even sex need not be involved, it might just be a single guy ending up alone with a [[Bus Full of Innocents|bus full of volleyball players they helped save]] and who are grateful enough to flirt with and/or dote on him. Or the good character might mope that, after spending all the movie helping the lead solve his or her love problems they're still single... to the unbearably attractive bar-person [[Hooked Up Afterwards|who happens]] to be single! Alternately the wingman and winggirl of the two leads [[Cleaning Up Romantic Loose Ends|may become]] a happy [[Beta Couple]]. Depending on the rating, they may only be implied to start dating, get it on, or ''actually'' get it on screen.

 

 

It's not always a person, though; animals, "monsters", or aliens can also be substituted in [[Green-Skinned Space Babe|either]] [[Face Full of Alien Wingwong|case.]] Even a [[Nice Guy]] may have to endure a dry-humping pet of their [[Love Interest]]'s as part of the romance. Extra points if it's a gorilla, which is a favorite.

* Shannon Hamilton of ''[[Mallrats]]'' likes to screw girls in an extremely uncomfortable place.

** [[Fridge Logic|Obviously]] she thought that [[Evil Is Sexy]].

* The ending of ''[[Dumb and Dumber]]'' subverts this -- the two characters look like they're about to get a bus full of beautiful women all to themselves as reward for their noble actions, only to have it ruined by their stupidity -- and then hilariously double-subverted seconds later.

* ''[[Sorority Boys]]:'' Throughout the film, [[Jerkass|Adam]] encourages Jimmy, his little brother in the fraternity, to take advantage of inebriated girls. So when "Adina" (Adam dressed in drag) ends up passed out in in Jimmy's room, he [[Unusual Euphemism|capitalizes on the opportunity]]. Adam then takes the same humiliating walk of shame that girls had to endure after a night with ''him''.

* ''[[Trading Places]]'': the protagonist ends up with [[Jamie Lee Curtis]], while the callous, [[Jerkass]] Beeks ends up with a male amorous gorilla in a cage.... wearing a (female) gorilla suit.....

* At the end of ''[[Shrek]] 2'', the handsome but awful Prince Charming is grabbed and forcibly kissed by the ugly step-sister.
