There Is Only One Bed: Difference between revisions

* Parodied in ''[[Candy Boy]],'' when [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|Sakuya]] imagines a ''king sized'' bed for what what would happen in Spring ''if'' she and Kanade shared a room, in which Sakuya [[Rich Bitch|custom]] designed. Kanade replies, to herself, with "Wait, why is there only one bed?" with an obviously annoyed look on her face.

* In one arc of ''[[Shugo Chara]]'', Ikuto lives in Amu's room for while. Amu tries to make him sleep on the floor but Ikuto, being Ikuto, just crawls back in the bed.

* By a third party's intervention in ''[[Parallel Trouble Adventure Dual|Dual]]'', Kazuki and Mitsuki are not only forced to spend a night together, but also nude. It doesn't help that of the [[Harem]], she's the least active in looking for his affection.

* ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]'' has this happen twice in the manga. In the first instance, Miaka and Tamahome are fresh into the relationship but were placed unconsciously in a single bed to get some battle injuries healed (it's not [[Intimate Healing|that kind of healing]], but they still get bonus points for having been deprived entirely of clothes by Taiitsukun); the next time, Tamahome ends up on the floor due to [[Virgin Power]] and all that, but after a tender little conversation, he goes up to Miaka's bed and promptly falls asleep before they get to <s>first</s> <s>second</s> third base. The anime only has the first instance.

'''Jonas''': I wasn't, but now I am, 'cause you're not. }}

* ''[[Morecambe and Wise]]'' in many of their sketches, only without a trace of embarrassment. They treated it as something perfectly normal, and as a result so did the audience.

** Apparently Eric and Ernie objected to the original bed sketch precisely because of the [[Unfortunate Implications]], but writer Eddie Braben convinced them on the grounds that their heroes Laurel and Hardy had done the same. Eric did, however, insist on smoking his pipe as a symbol of masculinity.

* In ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'', this is played for [[Fan Service]] when [[Five-Man Band|the gang]] all share a tiny apartment, and Zoe and Gwynn have to [http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/080108 "snuggle" in the only bed]. Parodied when [http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=080111 a later strip] reveals Zoe was actually sleeping on the couch; Zoe and Gwynn sharing a bed was just how Torg [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot|liked to picture it]].

* Happens in [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2009/02/07/episode-1092-the-rule-of-three/ this] ''[[8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|8-Bit Theater]]'' episode, creating some rules for when this happens and isn't gay.

* In ''[[General Protection Fault]]'', Nick and Ki are forced to stay at a motel after a science fiction convention when Fooker leaves with their car. The only room available has only one bed, and Nick sleeps on the chair and Ki sleeps on the bed. It is implied that Fooker reserved the room [[Shipper on Deck|in an attempt to get Nick and Ki together]].

* [[Penny Arcade]] offers a [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2010/7/21/ solution] to the "who gets it" dilemma.

== Real Life ==

* Happens all the time at conventions due to how expensive hotel rooms can be.

** "And sometimes there were... [[Sitch Sexuality|uncomfortable things to talk about in Confession on Sunday!]]"

* This scenario is often encountered in real life, in general. Some people choose to sleep on the floor rather than share a bed, though. Also, back in the old days, entire families would often sleep in the same bed, because beds and the soft stuff that goes on them were expensive and rare but also for the sake of not freezing to death in the night.
