Hands-On Approach: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide]]'': Moze helpes Ned use some tools in Shop Class... in the episode when Ned has said [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]] and has begun to question how true that is. Perfect timing!

* ''[[The X-Files]]'' uses the baseball variant, with Mulder coaching Scully. This of course involves him having his arms around her and his hands over hers.

"The bat...[[That Came Out Wrong|I'm talking about the bat.]]" }}

** There's a [[Fridge Logic]] moment to this interaction, which hinges on Mulder teaching Scully--the self-professed novice--how to play baseball. In reality, Scully was a major tom-boy with two brothers. Brothers who did things like buy her a BB gun for her birthday and take her shooting in the woods. The likelihood of her ''not'' knowing how to hit a baseball is pretty small.

* Played absolutely straight in the ''[[NCIS]]'' episode "Grace Period" with Gibbs, Hollis Mann, and softball, except a) he was very definitely kissing her neck, and b) either she had a real natural talent, or she already knew how to hit. Possibly both.

** This must be a standard Gibbs seduction technique. In "Doppelganger" he shows a redhead he fancies how to sand his boat, complete with [[Double Entendre|Double Entendres]].

* Played with a creepy undertone in ''[[The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'' episode "Automatic for the People", where [[Robot Girl|Cameron]] attracts the attention of several men who work at a nuclear power plant by visiting a bar they frequent and asking for "help" in playing pool. While one man gives her a hands-on approach in handling the pool cue, she takes the opportunity to scan his badge's bar code, and then proceeds to thoroughly school the whole group in the subsequent game of pool.

* Likewise, the golf scene from ''[[High School Musical]] 2'' (pictured above) ends with Sharpay executing a perfect swing after Troy has left, showing she was manipulating him into this trope the whole time.
