Born in an Elevator: Difference between revisions

 

See also [[Locked in a Freezer]], [[Instant Birth, Just Add Water]], and [[Screaming Birth]].

 

* In ''[[Vandread]]'', Kahlua a.k.a. Pyoro-2 was born in an elevator. [[The Hero|The male lead]] is initially tasked with handling the delivery, but he manages to hand it over to his love-interest fairly quickly. (This is interesting because she, theoretically, shouldn't be any more qualified for it than he is, and yet she handles it like a pro simply on account of being a woman.)

** Couldn't it be the fact that he grew up on a planet where pregnancy, live birth, etc., doesn't exist? (Thus making him even less qualified than any random earth male...)

*** [[Squick|...and they're the most popular pairing among Japanese fans.]]

 

* This happens in the movie ''Blankman''.

* Averted but referenced in ''[[Die Hard]]''. After Hans and his crew have taken the Nakatomi office workers hostage, Holly <s>McClane</s> Genaro tells him one of them is pregnant. Hans immediately rolls his eyes, expecting this to take place before Holly tells him she's not due for a couple of weeks, but that she need something more comfortable than the floor to sit at. [[Affably Evil|Hans agrees, and has his mooks move a couch from the lobby to the main hall.]]

* ''[[Men in Black (film)|Men in Black]]'' has this with an alien giving birth to an octopus-shaped baby in a car, starring Agent Jay as [[Delivery Guy]].

 

* Lucy and Kevin's daughter Savannah on ''[[7th Heaven]]''.

* Happened in ''[[Saved by the Bell]]'' of course, with Mr. Belding's wife.

* Happens to [[ALF]] of all creatures during his [[Christmas Episode]], with [[Delivery Guy|him making the delivery]] and suggesting the name of a newly-deceased little girl he met earlier for the baby. Yes, even ALF gets a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] on Christmas, too.

 

* This trope is alluded to in [[Elite Beat Agents]] where a taxi driver is asked to take an expecting woman to the hospital. (However, regardless of whether he succeeds or not, she does not give birth in the taxi.)

 

* ''[[King of the Hill]]'': Bobby amuses himself by pressing the buttons for every floor inside an elevator, then gets bored and leaves. A few seconds later, a man and a doctor wheel a birthing woman into the elevator. The door closes. Ding... Ding... "WAAAH!"
