This trope is all but universal in romantic stories. It frequently brings to a close the [[Will They or Won't They?]] phase of a [[Romance Arc]].
When a male and female character [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|spend a lot of time bickering]], it is all but inevitable that sooner or later he will interrupt her in mid-rant by suddenly grabbing her and [["Shut Up" Kiss|kissing her]]. (Less frequently, ''she'' grabs and kisses him.) The kissed one rarely resists, and usually responds wholeheartedly.
Usually this is triggered by their hostilities reaching a climax that results in an exchange of slaps, followed by a moment where both stare at each other in combined confusion and shock, after which they dive into the kiss.
Either way, the kiss prompts both to realize that they've been in love all this
The concept is related to the theory that hate is not necessarily the ''opposite'' of love so much as its twisted twin; its opposite would be ''apathy''. Ergo, lots of contained emotion towards a person might be translated into lust given the proper catalyst. Pulled off successfully, it can be... [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|quite satisfying.]] Otherwise, [[Ass Pull|not so much.]]
[[Older Than You Think]], dating back at least to [[William Shakespeare
Compare [["Shut Up" Kiss]], [[Love At First Punch]], [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]], [["Take That!" Kiss]], [[Vitriolic Best Buds]], [[Destructo-Nookie]], and [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]. Often considered in similar terms to [[Foe Yay]]. [[Tsundere]]s are often involved on at least one end. [[Kiss Kiss Slap]] is this in reverse (kissing, ''then'' fighting).
{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Mazinger Z]]'' has maybe the earliest [[Anime]] example: [[Idiot Hero|Kouji]]/[[Tsundere|Sayaka]]. The [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]] between them was legendary, and sometimes they applied this trope ''literally''.
** ''[[
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' has the [[Idiot Hero|Shinji]]/[[Tsundere|Asuka]] pairing. They kiss once, but that whole scene was actually a heartbreakingly epic and twisted failure of communications for both of them that contributed to Asuka's mental breakdown and Shinji's lack of self-esteem. They are attracted to each other but both fear rejection, so Shinji doesn't dare believe it's anything more than just a play to pass time and Asuka pinches his nose to get at least some kind of reaction out of him ''and'' to ensure some kind of "plausible deniability" of her own emotions in the face of possible rejection. And she reads rejection in his passivity even if he doesn't mean it as such, because he doesn't understand that there ''is'' anything to accept or reject... Mostly because her words and actions just then and there give him no reason to actually think so! So she started crying after seeing Shinji's reaction (that is, gasping for air, not hugging or comforting her etc.) and ran into the bathroom, making gargling noises as a front (as seen in ep. 22 director's cut version), as Shinji felt even worse.
* Gen and Kanon, in ''[[Kanon (manga)|Kanon]]'' by Chiho Saito, are always clashing, and it always leads to a kiss (sometimes to more).
* ''[[Tenshi na Konamaiki]]'' can be fairly described as forty-nine episodes of slapping, followed by a kiss.
* Although it quickly gave way to true affection in the manga and live action, ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' played this to the hilt in the anime. In fact, up until the reveal, there's not really a lot at all to indicate Usagi and Mamoru have anything but deep loathing for each other. Thankfully, fanfiction can remedy that . . .
* ''[[Ranma ½]]'' stretches out the trope to breaking point by doing seven seasons of increasing romantic tensions (and slaps—and punches, and roundhouse kicks, and exploding [[Ki Attacks]]), but never getting to the kiss.
* Kousuke and Ryoko in ''[[Spiral]] [[Suiri no Kizuna]]'' and ''[[Alive]]''. One of their fistfights actually scared away a bear.
* Kazahaya and Rikuo of ''[[Legal Drug]]'' seem to be heading in this direction (considering that both their bosses and the rest of the universe [[Shipper on Deck|seem to be nudging them together]]), but since the series has been on hold since Vol. 3 it is impossible to tell.
* This is the essence of Melissa Mao and Kurz Weber's relationship in ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]!'', although they've only reached the "kiss" stage in the novels on which the anime is based.
** Further confused by the reappearance of Belfangan Clouseau, Mao's former boyfriend, who's now their ''superior officer''.
* ''[[Suzuka]]'' is chock full of this. The manga has a rare "kiss-kiss, SLAP!!" scene {{spoiler|both initiated by the girl}} depicted.
* ''[[Black Lagoon]]'''s seventh episode is an extended
* In ''[[Blue Drop]]'', Hagino and Mari's huge fight at the school's swimming pool results in both of them landing in the water and exchanging a
* Inverted in ''[[Noir]]'' when Lady Silvana (a.k.a. the Intoccabile) gives Mireille a [[Foe Yay|lengthy]] [[Kiss of Death]], whereupon the latter tries to punch her.
* Literal example in ''[[
* Knuckles the Echidna and Rouge the Bat (a case of [[Interspecies Romance]]) from ''[[Sonic X]]''. Just watch almost any episode where they're in the same place and you'll know what I mean. Episodes 12, 13, 39, 52, and 54 are good examples of this (episode 52 being the best example).
* Shinra and Celty have this going on in ''[[Durarara!!]]''. Well, more Slap Slap Hug because of [[Headless Horseman|Celty's]] lack of anything to kiss ''with''. And Shinra doesn't really seem to mind getting punched around by her all that much.
** That and ther fact he hits her back (well, knocks her helmet off anyway) and neither one of them seem to get hurt over it. Seems to be (to them) more of harmless punching.
* ''[[Inuyasha]]'' and Kagome have this type of relationship. Kagome pounding Inuyasha's face into the ground by yelling "SIT!" is usually either
* In ''[[Wild
* Gilbert and Serge from ''[[
* ''[[Robotech
* Lawrence and Holo from ''[[Spice and Wolf]]'' in the last episode of season 2. Lawrence shows up to redeem Holo from being collateral from a deal gone bad. Cue strangle attempt, a mean-sounding right hook, and the obligatory [[Love Confession]]. A few self-depreciating lines, a kick to the torso, a snappy one-liner, and then the kiss. All to cheesy violin music.
* This is done literally in ''[[Code Geass]]'' by Kallen in her relationship with Lelouch.
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* In Frank Miller's ''[[All Star Batman]]'', [[Wonder Woman]] is characterized as a [[Straw Feminist|man-hating shrew]], someone who thinks [[Does Not Like Men|men do nothing but destroy the planet]] and even calling some random onlooker in the street a "sperm-bank". She meets up with the rest of the Justice League, including [[Superman]] and, after saying that she hates their guts (several times, using the same wording) she suddenly starts making out with Supes. After that she returns to her ultra radical feminist self with no explanation given for the two heroes suddenly massaging each others' tonsils.
** [[Frank Miller]] does, indeed like this trope. In ''[[Sin City]]'', he had Gail shove a gun in Dwight's face, only to be slapped away. The next panel has then making out in the rain.
* A frequent move of [[Catwoman (
* In ''Boy Meets Hero'' by Chayne Avery and Russell Garcia, villain Cold Snap and her protege 'Zack Savage' get a moment like this, hurling insults, complete with "Are you as turned on as I am?" "More!", at which point she jumps on him and they start kissing.
* Scrooge McDuck and Glittering Goldie in the [[Don Rosa]] story ''[[The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck|The Prisoner of White Agony Creek]]'', pictured. The action cuts to outside the cabin, where there are sound effects of yelling and
** It's even more so with [[Donald Duck]]'s parents in ''The Invader of Fort Duckburg''.
*** Must be something in the family, Donald and Daisy also have these scenes fairly regularly.
* Happens at times between Matt and Kayleigh in ''[[Dork Tower]]''.

* An early issue of ''X-Factor'' gives us an [http://img252.imageshack.us/i/kisskiss1.jpg Epic] [http://img715.imageshack.us/i/kisskiss2.jpg Example].
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* This is the entire basis of the [[The Spock|Spock]]/[[The McCoy|McCoy]] pairing in the ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' fandom. [http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pGOnGM04xgk/SdRmetKITeI/AAAAAAAAGcg/cgtYb1hQG3I/s1600-h/make+up+sex.png This] sums it up rather neatly.
* In a great deal of [[Fanfic]] to be found in the ''[[Kung Fu Panda]]''-verse, it seems to be the consensus that if [[Badass|Tai]] [[Deadpan Snarker|Lung]] and [[Action Girl|Tigress]] were to become a couple, this would be the nature of their relationship—if not outright [[The Masochism Tango|Masochism Tango]].
* Multiple pairings in ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia|Hetalia]]'' fandom are built on this, the more popular ones including [[Masochism Tango|France/England]] and [[Love Martyr|Spain/South Italy]].
* Essentially every fanfiction written in the verse of BBC's ''[[Sherlock]]'' set after The Reichenbach Fall. Usually a manifestation of the authors unable to decide whether, upon {{spoiler|Sherlock's reveal that he's not actually dead}}, John Watson will punch him in the face or passionately kiss him. Hooray for compromises?

* Pretty much literally in ''[[How to Train Your Dragon (
* Used very briefly early in the film ''[[Ratatouille]].'' When Remy is running through the walls of an apartment building, we briefly see a woman holding a man at gunpoint as he runs by; a shot goes off, narrowly missing Remy, who goes back to investigate. The two struggle over the gun briefly before they passionately kiss one another. Those French...
* ''[[Tangled]]'': Rapunzel's first meeting with Flynn involved not just slapping, but knocking fully unconscious with a cast-iron frying pan three times (and that doesn't count the damage done while trying to stow him in her closet).
* ''[[Blades of Glory]]'' has this between [[Brother-Sister Incest|Stranz and Fairchild van Waldenberg]]. Um... right.
** Made more interesting by the fact that the pair are played by real-life husband and wife Will Arnett and Amy Poehler.
* ''[[Father Goose]]'' does this. The first time, Leslie Caron slaps [[Cary Grant]], he calmly slaps her back, and she dissolves in tears and runs away. The second time, she slaps him, he slaps her back, she slaps ''him'' back ... cut to Trevor Howard, reaction to the news that they want to be married.
* Taken to a ridiculous extreme by the movie ''[[Mr. and Mrs. Smith]]''. The two main characters practically demolish a house with gunfire in an attempt to kill each other. They then proceed to punch, kick and smash objects onto each other, demolishing even more furniture in the process, until they grab their weapons again and get to a [[Mexican Standoff]]. Surprising nobody, little time passes before they put down the guns and start kissing and ripping each other's clothes off.
** They then proceed to [[Destructo-Nookie|demolish even more of the house...]]
* In ''[[Whitecoats]]'', this is done with out the will they or won't they, in this case the Slaps were a fist fight where they gave as good as they got, with the rest of the cast trying to pull them apart. It ended when they started making out.
* ''[[Iron Man (
** The more subdued scene later on with Tony and Pepper is more standard but still ends up [[Subverted Trope|subverted]] when it inspires Pepper not to sleep with her boss but to mull over just how screwed-up her relationship with him is.

** Marion, the original Tsundere in Indy's life. Heck, they're still at it {{spoiler|when they're old and grey, right before they finally tie the knot.}}
*** Indy's relationship with Willie Scott would probably count as well.

* ''[[Enchanted]]'': Giselle is first turned on by Robert when [[
* Played straight in ''[[Lethal Weapon 3]]'', where Riggs and Lorna end up kissing after the infamous "my scar is bigger" contest.
* ''The Singles Ward'' has another classic example, where Jonathan and Cammie, after having gotten off to a rough start, get into an argument in the kitchen, during a party at his house. They criticize and mock each other, stepping ever closer together, until a friend walks in to find them making out.
* ''[[Outlander (
* In ''[[Gangs of New York]]'', this trope makes an appearance as more of an "Insult retort slap slap punch grapple claw try-to-bite kiss".
* Stef and Mouth have this sort of relationship in ''[[The Goonies]]''. At first they hate each other, but then she hugs him when they find the pirate ship and then pushes him back. Finally at the end they really do make up.
Line 107 ⟶ 101:
* Played very straight at the end of ''Loverboy'', between Kirstie Alley's character and her husband.
* The Great Leslie and Maggie DuBois in ''[[The Great Race]]''. He kisses her, she slaps him. When he kisses her again later, in the next scene they're in a car with a "Just Married" sign on it.

* In the film ''Random Hearts'', Harrison Ford and Kristin Scott Thomas have discovered that their spouses were having an affair (they were killed in a plane crash on the way to a romantic rendezvous). He's obsessed with finding out all the details while she just wants to let it go. They're arguing about this and she's slapping and shoving him when he abruptly grabs and kisses her, shocking both of them.
* In ''[[Night
** It's not like they actually weren't in love: Larry was just deliberately trying to ignore her avances, despite showing early signs of [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]], as Amelia's peculiar condition (as a mystical animated mannequin of the original aviatrix bound to return to her inanimate state) made Larry unwilling to pursue a literal eight-hour long [[Mayfly-December Romance]].
* In the Italian Film ''Il 7 e l'8'' (''The seven and the eight''), near the end, the resident [[Jerk
* It's played with in ''[[Grosse Pointe Blank]]'' where Martin and Debi are kissing and Debi stops the make out session and says something is missing, then slaps Martin across the face before going back to kissing and proceeding to have sex

* This situation very accurately describes the relationship between Aravis and Prince Cor in ''[[Narnia|The Horse and his Boy]]'':

* There's a similar case with a young Vulcan couple in [[Diane Duane]]'s ''[[Star Trek]]'' novel, ''Spock's World''. The chapter ''is'' set pre-Surak, after all.
* Ron and Hermione in the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' series.
* How about ''Stab Stab'' Kiss? Vlad of the ''[[Taltos]]'' series and his wife, a former assassin, fall in lust/love after she kills him and he is revived from the dead. This is subverted later, when the series takes a more realistic perspective toward this kind of tumultuous relationship by having their marriage fall apart very quickly when the two discover how different they really are.
* Alluded to in the prequels to Eddings' ''[[Belgariad]]''. The heirs of Astur and Mimbre were [[Locked in
** Pretty much defines the relationship between Garion and Ce'Nedra.
* Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy in ''[[Pride and Prejudice]]'' are often cited as
* [[Older Than Dirt]]: The real ur-example is most certainly the Sumerian poem ''The Courtship of Inanna and Dumuzi'', in which the [[Tsundere]] goddess Inanna spends most of the story berating the shepherd Dumuzi for not being a farmer, until they have a good argument and Inanna becomes smitten. They spend the rest of the story having awesome sex.
* Averted in ''[[
* In ''[[
* ''[[Discworld]]'':
** [[Mort]] and Ysobel. There's a good two pages dedicated to a conversation in which they insult each other.
** Pratchett sums up their relationship in ''[[Soul Music (novel)|Soul Music]]'': [Mort and Ysobel] took a strong and immediately dislike to one another and everyone knows there's only one inevitable outcome to that kind of relationship.
* In ''[[Pyramids]]'' this is mostly the case for Pteppic and Ptracy until it is revealed {{spoiler|they're half-siblings}}.
* DS Edgar Wield and Edwin Digweed in Reginald Hill's [[Dalziel and Pascoe]] novel ''Pictures of Perfection,'' largely because neither of them is [[Genre Savvy]] enough to realize that Hill is parodying ''[[Pride and Prejudice]]''.

** There was also a [[Girl of the Week]] who was rude to everyone, and Will wasn't getting along with her for that reason. Carlton had better luck, however, and after the "kiss" part of the trope kicked in, he was able to get her to treat people in a civil manner. After discovering that Carlton was able to assert himself, Will tried doing the same thing as Carlton did... however, Will was just as unable as ever to get past the "slap slap" stage of the relationship.

Since the station manager saw the situation, everyone in the station has to attend a [[Sensitivity Training]].

Believing he was still dreaming, he {{spoiler|beat her}} so brutally that it required not only a [[Discretion Shot]], but a [[Content Warning]] at the beginning of the episode. Two and a half episodes later, {{spoiler|they were [[Happily Married]]}} and [[Babies Ever After|expecting]]. Admittedly there was a one year [[Time Skip]] in the meantime, but ''damn''. And this was one of the more ''stable'' relationships on the show. At least until the fourth season, but that's another story...

* Spike and Lynda of ''[[Press Gang]]'' conducted their kissing-and-slapping exchange while on the set of a Saturday morning children's cartoon show, where Lynda was supposed to be promoting the wholesomeness and public-spiritedness of the ''Junior Gazette''.
* ''[[The Vicar of Dibley]]'' has something similar to the ''[[Fraiser]]'' subversion but played more seriously: Geraldine, the title character and a liberal female vicar, is always trading insults with the [[Strawman Political|arch-conservative]] councilman David. At one point in the series, he reveals his love for her, interpreting her snarking as flirting. In actuality, she doesn't really consciously ''like him'' much at this point. This declaration starts his character on a more [[Pet the Dog]] path and makes her better disposed to him.

** Season 6 seems to be heading for {{spoiler|[[Deconstruction|deconstructing]] this trope. Apparently, Cuddy doesn't find it at all romantic. Maybe House should read ''[[Pride and Prejudice]]''.}}
* Done in ''[[Friends]]'' between Ross and Rachel. Rachel is very pregnant and overdue for labor, and the doctor has advised several home remedies, including sex, to speed up the process. They try everything else and nothing works, so Rachel insists they have sex. Since she had been very mean to Ross that entire episode, Ross declines. Rachel then starts angrily ranting at him how this is all his fault and so on, but is interrupted by Ross kissing her. Rachel is surprised and Ross says, "I don't care what it takes, I am getting that baby out of you!" Rachel immediately starts having contractions and Ross says, "I am ''good''!"
* Basically describes the whole relationship between Luke and Reid ''[[As the World Turns]]''
** The Slap Slap part of the relationship dies down some after they become an actual couple.
* An episode of ''[[Saved
* ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]''. In "Precious Cargo", Trip Tucker has this happen with the beautiful yet [[Royal Brat|arrogant First Monarch Kaitaama]], among a bunch of other [[Cliché Storm|cliched scenes]].
* ''[[The Daily Show]]''. Samantha Bee and Jason Jones (married in RL) pulled this off...[http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=120392&title=Chalabi/Cheney-Transcript while acting as Dick Cheney and Ahmad Chalabi].
** Jon Stewart and Wyatt Cenac did something similar during their [http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-july-30-2009/white-house-beer-simulation White House Beer Simulation], though it was more Fight Dance Fight Dance Fight Dance Grope.
* Laura and one of her love interests had the Insult Insult Kiss variation of this in an episode of ''[[Family Matters]]''.
* ''[[Lost]]''. Ana Lucia tries to get Sawyer's
* Played around with in the season 4 finale of ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'', between {{spoiler|Barney and Robin}}. The two are unable to admit their feelings without provoking the other into an automatic rejection response (as both are relationship averse). Leads to a long, rapid back-and-forth "I love you"/"Lets be friends" style exchange that escalates in aggravation until they become so confused and frustrated they simply kiss.
** And it's awesome:

{{spoiler|'''Robin:'''}} Because I am scared of how much I like you!
{{spoiler|'''Barney:'''}} Whoa, this is a bad idea.
{{spoiler|'''Robin:'''}} You're right, this is a mistake.
{{spoiler|'''Barney:'''}} Yes. No!
{{spoiler|'''Robin:'''}} I love you!
{{spoiler|'''Barney:'''}} Let's be friends.
{{spoiler|'''Robin:'''}} Okay, friends then.
{{spoiler|'''Barney:'''}} I love you.

{{spoiler|'''Robin:'''}} Gaaah! ''(they kiss)'' }}
* In series 1 of ''[[
** How has nobody mentioned episode 1 season 2 yet? The bar fight between Jack and John is this troper's favourite scene by far!
* Notable [[Averted Trope|aversion]]: the original script called for this between Jack Bauer and Renee Walker in season 7 of ''[[
** Played straight in Season 8 {{spoiler|including Annie Wersching's prediction...}}
* ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'': Vala and... well, everyone she has the last part with. (With Daniel, it's mostly subtext.)
** It's subtext with Daniel until "Unending" where a pretty brutal argument (mostly on Daniel's side) turns into smooches.
** Was quite ''literal'' with Daniel in the first episode. Not so much
** She tried to invoke it with Daniel in her first appearance, as a means to disarm him, but that just lead to more slapping followed by a stun blast. He did see her naked, but she's rather disappointed that she was unconscious, thus defeating the purpose.
* Joe and Helen do this on ''[[Wings (TV series)|Wings]]'', except that the slaps are done with flour-coated pieces of veal. (Don't ask.)
{{quote|
* Dean and Castiel from ''[[Supernatural]]'' pretty much had an episode of this.
{{quote|
** Later on in that same episode, Castiel {{spoiler|beats the shit outta Dean}}. Needless to say, the fandom exploded.
** In a more literal sense, we have Castiel (are we seeing a trend here?) and {{spoiler|Meg}}. They've only had two episodes together, but already the bickering and name-calling have escalated to pretty obvious [[Unresolved Sexual Tension|UST]] levels. This comes to a head in the episode ''Caged Heat'', where {{spoiler|Castiel and Meg snipe at each other all episode and then suddenly end up smashing each other into walls while trying to clean each other's tonsils}}.
* Delayed version in ''[[Dollhouse]]'', where Topher is forced to punch out Bennett when he finds out she is trying to kill Caroline/Echo. Later on, when Bennett is helping Topher put together Caroline's original personality wedge, she forces him to tell her why, and subsequently returns the favor with an even more vicious right hook. A scene later, the two finally give in to their respective crushes and start kissing.
* Vince and Howard from [[The Mighty Boosh]] would be like this if they ever got past the UST stage.
* Happens offscreen in ''[[
* On ''[[Glee]]'' in the episode "Never Been Kissed" {{spoiler|Kurt confronts Dave Karofsky, a recurring bully who has been torturing Kurt for being gay, which leads to Dave passionately kissing Kurt and leaving Kurt visibly traumatized, and understandably considering that it was Kurt's first real kiss.}}
* In ''[[The Brittas Empire]]'', the episode, "Sex, Lies, and Red Tape", {{spoiler|Laura}} gives the bewildered {{spoiler|Mr. Brittas}} a rather solid kiss after yelling about her unrelenting hatred of his idiocy.
Line 298 ⟶ 291:
* In the ''[[Leverage]]'' episode "The Two Live Crew Job", the fight scene between Eliot and Mikel, his counterpart in the opposing crew, feels like (extremely violent) foreplay even before it hits the kissing stage. Nicely done, and hot enough to definitely qualify as [[Fan Service]].
* Max and Iago from ''El Cor de la Ciutat'' were like this during the early stages of their relationship when Max was still [[Tsundere|conflicted about]] [[All Guys Want Bad Boys|his feelings for a delinquent]]:
{{quote|
'''Iago:''' Are you worrying [about me] too?
'''Max:''' Don't say foolish things! I haven't thought about you for even a second, Iago, do you understand? I don't care if they're breaking your legs and locking you up in prison, which is what you deserve!
''(they kiss passionately)'' }}
== [[Music]] ==
* Used in Muse's ''[[Knights of Cydonia]]'' music video (which is done in the style of a 70s [[Sci Fi]] movie). The love interest slaps the hero in a bar, then the slap is shown again, but they're now in a bedroom and wearing less clothes. Again, with less clothes, but he grabs her arm and they kiss.
* The whole point of the 80's Latin-American pop song "Dame un beso" ("Gimme a Kiss") by Yuri, which plays it up as comedy.
Line 310 ⟶ 302:
* The music video for Kelly Clarkson's ''My Life Would Suck Without You'' is this trope all the way through, with the "Kiss" part is in the lyrics.
* The [[Aphex Twin]] and Chris Cunningham video "Flex" involves a nude man and woman beating each other up before engaging in sex and [[Disappears Into Light|going out in a flash of light]].
* 'The Ballad Of Tom Jones', [[
== [[Professional Wrestling]] ==
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twyUZEn4cuE Here's an example] between Eric Bischoff and Stephanie McManhon, then-General-Managers of [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] ''Raw'' and ''Smackdown'', respectively. [[Non Sequitur Scene|Strangely, it was never mentioned again after this.]]
* Beth Phoenix's relationship with Santino Marella was pretty much this.
== [[Puppet Shows]] ==
* Red and Gobo of ''[[Fraggle Rock]]''—in the rare moments when they're not fighting/competing to see who can be more stubborn, they're hugging. Or Red is desperately trying to get his attention. And yet for all their complaints and squabbles about leadership, they keep coming back...
* ''[[Avenue Q]]'''s "The More You [[Japanese Ranguage|Ruv]] Someone (The More You Want to Kill Them)" is basically this trope's anthem.
== [[Theatre]] ==
* Benedick and Beatrice in ''[[Much Ado About Nothing]]''.
* Played straight in ''[[Thoroughly Modern Millie]]'':
{{quote|
'''Jimmy:''' Gold-digger!
'''Millie:''' Womanizer!
'''Jimmy:''' Jezebel!
'''Millie:''' Casanova! }}
::At which point he grabs her, snogs the hell out of her, and dashes off... whereupon she bursts into song. (Though to be fair, this is a case of [[Volleying Insults]] rather than a Slap Slap.)
* Jimmy and Helena in ''Look Back in Anger''.
* In ''[[Wicked (theatre)|Wicked]]'' at first Glinda and Elphaba, more apparent in the musical where they have a song that revolves around [[Foe Yay]] and [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|lust
** Glinda and Elphaba? How about the undeniably canon Fiyero and Elphaba? The first time they meet he nearly runs her over and she shouts at him but by the second scene together they start off shouting a lot and then suddenly nearly kiss and Elphaba sings a moapy song about it. The next time they're shown alone they're pratically having sex on stage.
* The writer of ''[[Crazy For You]]'' loves this trope: a little bit Irene and Bobby (though this might be more of a mild Yandere), Irene and Lank, Polly and Bobby - of course, theirs is more of a Kiss Slap Slap [[Mistaken Identity]] / [[Fake King]] Kiss Kiss Slap Slap Slap Kiss.
* ''[[The Taming of the Shrew]]''.
{{quote|
== [[Video Games]] ==
* In the TV Zapping intro of the first ''[[Command & Conquer]]'' game, the third sequence (on channel 319) is a ''perfect'' example of Slap Slap Kiss. Joe Kucan, who plays Kane, has [https://web.archive.org/web/20120512072923/http://www.1up.com/do/feature?pager.offset=3&cId=3156010 named it as his favorite scene] in the whole series. See it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS9irxBAwb0#t=16s here].
{{quote|"Oh yeah? Well at least your mother tipped well!"}}
* ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' seems to be quite fond of this trope when it comes to romance. In the 7th installment, we have [[Genki Girl]]/[[Rich Bitch]] Serra and [[Badass Bookworm]] Erk, [[Tsundere]] Farina and the [[Boisterous Bruiser]] Dart the Pirate, [[Genius Bruiser]] Hector and [[Action Girl]] Lyn, Hector and Farina, and to some extent Wil and Rebecca (she kicks him in the gut and yells at him quite a bit shortly before rushing into his arms). Fire Emblem 6 has [[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!]] Clarine and [[Fragile Speedster]] Rutger, while 8 has the ''other'' [[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!]] L'Arachel behave this way towards her two pairing options (Innes [[The Archer]] and [[The Wise Prince]] of sorts Ephraim) and popular fanon option Rennac.
** You also forgot Serra/Matthew from the 7th game. And Boyd/Mist from the ninth and tenth.
** Earlier still, Tanya and Othin from the 5th game.
* ''[[Indiana Jones and
* Buck and Dare do this near the end of ''[[Halo]] 3: ODST.''
* Loni and Nanaly in ''[[
** Sheena and Zelos in ''[[
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|Renegade Shepard and Miranda's]] kiss in [[Mass Effect 2]].
** Shepard and Liara's banter during Lair of the Shadow Broker comes across as this.
Line 357 ⟶ 345:
** Not wasted, cut. It was stated that most of the romantic elements of the game had to be cut due to time constraints, which is why none of the game's romance subplots really go anywhere.
*** Referring more to the wasted chance of having a cutscene in which the two fistfighting transitions seamlessly into making out was the opportunity referred to.
* In ''[[Dragon Age
* ''[[Dragon Age 2]]'', any romance with a rival.
* ''[[Bayonetta]]'': In one cutscene, Luka seems to ''think'' this is the heroine's intent when she tackles him after he cusses her out. In truth, she's doing so because [[Mooks|a Joy]] is [[Enemy Rising Behind|about to impale him.]]

* ''[[Red vs. Blue]]''. Tex and Church sometimes play this in reverse:

** Sonya does [http://www.menagea3.net/strips-ma3/never_want_to_see_you_again this] to Gary too.
* Two of the trolls have an almost literal one of these in ''[[Homestuck]]''. [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004193 Very heartrending.]
Line 387 ⟶ 374:
** An example of a ''literal'' Slap Slap Kiss [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004529 has appeared], and is commented on, though there hasn't been a kiss yet. (This example is "matespiritship," the Troll equivalent of romantic love as humans understand it.)
** Can also be seen [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005753 between] [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005754 Spades Slick] [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005755 and Snowman].
*** That one isn't so much
* ''[[Spacetrawler]]'' has Pierrot and Emily. Emily is constantly getting on Pierrot's nerves, and Pierrot reacts appropriately, to the extent that Captain Nogg thinks they hate each other. There's no shortage of [[Subtext]] that they like each
* Lucy of ''[[Bittersweet Candy Bowl]]'' is most violent with the guys she likes at all, David notwithstanding. Species differences among other things.
