A parody of a scene from [[Disney Animated Canon|Disney's animated film]] ''[[Lady and Thethe Tramp]]'', where the titular characters share a plate of spaghetti. The two canine lovers end up chewing opposite ends of the same strand and eat their way to each other's lips. Sometimes a parody of the next shot, Tramp nudging the last meatball over to Lady with his nose, is also included.
 
It's not only limited to Spaghetti, however. Any food with considerable length (hotdogs, waffles, noodles, as well as other types of long pasta like Fetuccine and Linguini) can qualify, as long as they can be eaten from opposite ends. Works originating from Japan usually invoke the trope by using [[Pocky]] sticks, a special kind of stick biscuit dipped in either chocolate or strawberry flavor, and of course, Japanese noodles (ramen, soba and such).

== Disney ==
* Referenced but not actually done in ''[[TeachersTeacher's Pet (AnimationTV series)|Teachers Pet]]''. Leonard tries to pay a restaurateur to serve his dog Spot and his girlfriend spaghetti out back so they can reenact the scene. The restaurateur replies that he would lose his license if he did that and, furthermore, "Dogs do not have lips!"
* Disney even incorporated a redux of this scene into ''Lady and the Tramp's'' own direct-to-video sequel. It actually includes the meatball bit but not the iconic spaghetti-strand kiss. Instead, Scamp licks some spaghetti sauce off of Angel's face.
* Timon and Pumbaa [[Ho Yay|accidentally kiss each other]] while eating a worm in a scene from ''[[The Lion King]] 1½''.
* Disney included ''another'' parody of it in ''[[House of Mouse]]'', with vaguely-canine-y-people Max Goof and his girlfriend, Roxanne.
** In fact, the spaghetti scene was referenced and parodied several times on ''[[House of Mouse]]'' by Lady and the Tramp themselves -- basically, if the two showed up at all in an episode, it was only to eat spaghetti and usually get interrupted while trying to do the [[Spaghetti Kiss]].
* Several years prior to that one, Disney did it ''again'' in the ''[[Duck TalesDuckTales]]'' episode where Scrooge gets amnesia; in his case, it happens when he and Fenton's mom go out for pizza.
* Yet ''another'' Disney parody in an episode of ''[[Recess]]'' where Mikey becomes friends with the school bully Kurst 'the Worst'. Once it's clear that they're sharing the same strand, Kurst belches and her end falls from her mouth, leaving Mikey to finish it.
* ''[[The Emperor's New Groove (Disney)|The Emperors New Groove]] 2: Kronk's New Groove'' had a scene like this between Kronk and Ms. Birdwell. It was practically a shot-for-shot remake until {{spoiler|Kronk tried to roll a millipede to Ms. Birdwell, and it tried to suck his face.}}
* Disney also did a parody of it in one of the older Shaggy Dog movies, with the [[Involuntary Transformation|guy (in the sheepdog body)]], wondering why his sharing a plate of spaghetti with another dog seemed so familiar.
* This is almost done in the Phineas and Ferb Special "Summer Belongs to You...with [[Ho Yay|Buford and Baljeet]]. It only earns a shocked expression from the two and the plate of spaghetti being thrown onto Baljeet's head.
Line 33:
* ''[[Aoi House]]'' covered this one, too, with hamster Echiboo and pig Luna-P. ''[[Aoi House]]'' covers a lot of parody tropes.
* This happens between Saga and Sugar in the opening titles of ''[[A Little Snow Fairy Sugar]]''.
* Yomi and Kagura end up sharing a pocky this way in ''[[Ga -Rei Zero]]''.
* ''[[Kämpfer (Light Novel)|Kämpfer]]'' has this in episode 7.
* Starts to happen between Keita and Riko in ''[[Kiss X Sis]]''. [http://www.mangareader.net/464-28709-20/kissxsis/chapter-15.html Ako puts a stop to that fairly quickly.]
* [[Invoked Trope|Invoked]] (with yakisoba) by the titular character of ''[[My Wife Is a High School Girl (Manga)|My Wife Is a High School Girl]]'' to seduce her husband.
 
 
Line 48:
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAjAfBdwD40 Around the 1:05 mark.] The whole scene is hilarious.
* Parodied with slugs in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment in the 2006 film ''[[Flushed Away]]''.
* Garth and his GF in ''[[WaynesWayne's World|Wayne's World II]]'', with a liquorice wheel.
* ''[[A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner!]]'' has this almost happening between Crocker and Magnate.

Line 56:
* ''[[Full House]]'': [[Lampshaded]] because Joey's doing it with his date, and he freely admits he's imitating the scene because he thinks it's romantic.
* In a first season episode of ''[[Gilmore Girls]]'', Rory brings a meatball home from a date with Dean after Lorelai starts babbling to her about the spaghetti kiss.
* Hal and Lois of ''[[Malcolm in Thethe Middle]]'' do this with kielbasa during an eating contest.
* In the ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]'' episode "Wizards vs. Werewolves", Alex and Mason attempt to do this with a sub sandwich, since Alex thought it would be romantic. When Mason points out how gross it is, they decide to skip straight to the kiss, before being [[Almost Kiss|rudely interrupted when Harper alerts Theresa]].
* Appeared once or twice in ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]'', whenever a game of Helping Hands involved spaghetti as a prop.
* ''[[Les Yay|Shake it]]'' ''[[Shake It Up|Up]]''.
* Brittany from ''[[Glee]]'' practices this when she thinks she'll be going to a restaurant with Artie (although she truly wants to go with Santana). Leads to a [[Tear Jerker]] when she pushes the meatball with her nose to... no one, because Artie dumps her and Santana is mad at her.
Line 69:
 
== [[Web Original]] ==
* It was done on the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYxO3Y-wOrM Tequila Taco Night] episode of [[EPICMEALTIME (Web Video)|EPICMEALTIME]], where two girls share a strip of... Uh... Something.
* One fanvid for "I Kissed a Girl an I Liked it" shows a Japanese girl trying to do this to her boyfriend. [[Subverted Trope|He just slurps the licorice they were sharing instead of eating to the middle like she did.]]
 
Line 82:
** Another one taken directly from L&TT, but with Michael Vick added.
* Occurs in the [[Christmas Special]] ''Christopher The Christmas Tree'', with a skunk and a squirrel eating opposite ends of a string of popcorn. The skunk goes in for another kiss, but the squirrel jumps out of the way just in time.
* [[Jerkass|Steele]] in ''[[Balto (Animation)|Balto]]'' tries to invoke this with Jenna using a string of sausages, only to be craftily rebuffed.
{{quote| '''Steele''': You start on one end, I'll start on the other. When we get to the middle, well...* }}
* Parodied in the ''[[Happy Tree Friends]]'' Halloween short "Remains To Be Seen" with [[Official Couple|Cuddles and Giggles]]. The twist is that they're both zombies, and they're slurping ''[[Refuge in Audacity|a brain]]''.
* Done to a point in [[Kung Fu Panda Legends of Awesomeness (Animation)|Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness]], as a snow leopard tries to get Po to fall for her to get an invite to rob the Jade Palace. {{spoiler|He doesn't notice and ends up with her whole head in his mouth.}}
