Line 35:
* Red Grant's masseuse in ''[[From Russia with Love]]'' doesn't go out of her ''way'' to do this with her clients, per se, but... it apparently turns out that way a lot. Grant stands out in that (among other things) he doesn't react at all.
* At one point in ''A Dirty Job'', the main character had too much "sexual energy". Even though he ended up at a massage parlour, he didn't ask for a "happy ending" but instead later went to an "official" hooker. This led to trouble{{spoiler|, as the girl he chose turned out to be a crazy incarnation of Death}}. Even the cop who saved him said that he should have just chosen the happy ending.
* In Irvine Welsh' ''Porno'', this is the way college student Nikki Fuller-Smith makes good money: she knows she's not great at the job, but she's a much more conventional beauty than her colleagues and some customers ask for her based on looks alone. Arguably, [[High
Line 57:
* In one episode of ''[[Las Vegas]]'', the staff struggle to find a tactful way to explain to the Montecito spa's new masseur that he is not supposed to be providing Happy Endings.
* In ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]'' Will takes Uncle Phil to a massage parlour so he can get relief for a back injury, unaware of the "special extras" they offer. The police break in just as the masseuses are about to give them their (well, not so much Uncle Phil's) Happy Ending.

* In the short-lived series ''In Case of Emergency'' Kelly Hu's character works at one of these parlors.

* In [[Disgaea Hour of Darkness/Characters|Laharl's]] cameo in the ''[[Disgaea]]'' spinoff [[Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?|Prinny]], Etna seems to reference this when she says Laharl is going to massage her ''SO hard'' when they get home or she might teach him some ''new tricks''. It doesn't help that Laharl is a Prinny in the cameo.
** She makes a Prinny massage her in the Drama CD as well. If you don't know what is going on it sounds just like what you would think it would sound like.
Line 86:
* Posey from ''[[Mission Hill]]'' becomes a massage therapist; all her customers become angry on finding out that she's not a prostitute, and a local pimp even comes after her for infringing on his territory. Her ad accidentally said " Healing Release" instead of "Healing Relief".
* ''[[Sealab 2021]]'': when the other Debbie went on vacation, she insisted on getting one of these.
* In ''[[King of the Hill]]'', Dale's wife cheats on him with John Redcorn, all under the guise of a massage treatment to help with her headaches. It is later revealed that John really does have a legitimate massage office, but it's strongly implied that his therapy works as a sort of foreplay.
* This quote from Otto the bus driver on ''[[The Simpsons]]:'' "Man. I guess this story had a happy ending after all. Just like my last massage."
