Line 78:
* Of all places, this shows up in ''[[The Inheritance Cycle]]'', with ''dragons''. Saphira approaches the older male dragon mentoring her (they're apparently the [[Last of His Kind|last of their kind]], BTW), but he isn't interested. Then she gets nasty...
* In ''[[Wayside School]]'', Dameon has a crush on Mrs. Jewls. Eventually she reciprocates... but adds that she loves everyone else, too.
* In the ''[[Star Wars Expanded Universe]]'' Ahsoka unsuccessfully flirts with her Master, but of course he's [[Single
* In ''[[The Dresden Files (Literature)|The Dresden Files]]'' novel ''Proven Guilty'', {{spoiler|Molly}} ends up thinking this is what is going to happen when {{spoiler|she becomes Harry's apprentice.}} He rather [[Crowning Moment of Funny|hilariously]] disabuses her of the notion though not entirely. In ''Changes'' {{spoiler|Susan studies Molly's reaction to her and Harry. Later on when Molly leaves, Susan is surprised [[Oblivious to Love|Harry is oblivious to Molly's feelings for him.]]}}
{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Susan''':Molly has it bad for you, Harry.}}<br />
Line 105:
* In ''[[Glee]]''; when Rachel Berry gets a crush on Mr Schuester, he reacts [[Oh Crap|with horror]], remembering the dreadful outcome of the ''last'' student to have a crush on him. The old student then comes into play, giving Rachel advice about why she's crushing on Mr Schue, leading to a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] when Mr Schue tells Rachel that one day she'll find a man who values her for herself. Awwwwwwwwwwww!!
* Another three-episode arc in the third season of Glee deals with Puck's crush on Shelby Corcoran. He plays the Van Halen song "Hot For Teacher" for her (among other things). Gets Squicky when you consider she's Rachel's mom (Puck and Rachel dated briefly in the first season) and she adopted baby Beth (his daughter by Quinn).
* An episode of ''[[Teachers]]'' had the rare variant of a gay pupil having a crush on one of the teachers. Also has a jarring case of [[Hey, It's That Guy!]], with the gay pupil in question being played by the woman-obsessed [[Casanova Wannabe|Jay]] from [[The Inbetweeners]].
* In ''[[Arrested Development (TV)|Arrested Development]]'' George Michael develops a crush on his [[Heather Graham|ethics teacher]]. His tentative attempts to explain this to his father lead him to believe his son is trying to get them together, and he ends up dating her.
* Briefly touched in ''[[Cold Case (TV)|Cold Case]]''; in one episode, a student had a crush on his idealistic teacher, who helped set his life on the right path. However, when he grew up and became a teacher himself, he understood why there was a line that teachers and students could not cross.
Line 134:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[Persona 3]]'', one of the "social links" the protagonist has to develop is a friendship with another student, a boy who claims to be involved with, and then engaged to, his female homeroom teacher. {{spoiler|It turns out the relationship was all in the boy's head, with the teacher being all but unaware of his fantasy, and horrified when she discovers how the boy thinks of her.}} The weird thing is that in order to improve your friendship with the student (which has positive effects on your game status), the protagonist has to encourage the boy's romantic aspirations even if you realize that it's a very, very bad idea.
** [[Fridge Brilliance|Makes sense from a certain perspective, though.]] It's obvious from very early in the link that Kenji [[Cloudcuckoolander|lives in his own little world]], and has a habit of [[But Thou Must!|not listening to you]] when you try to bring him down to earth. Since you can't really change anything about it, you might as well play along until it all blows up in his face, at which point he needs his supportive friend to help him get over it. Additionally, {{spoiler|the main character is [[Not So Above It All]]. See "Hot for student", below.}}
* In ''[[Professor Layton and The Unwound Future]]'', one of Professor Layton's students has a very obvious crush on him.
** Also hinted in ''[[Professor Layton and The Eternal Diva|Eternal Diva]]'' that his former student Janice also has a crush. {{spoiler|Or is it just Melina talking?}}
Line 305:
* In ''[[Gokusen]]'', delinquent [[Bishonen]] student Shin falls hard for nerdy yakuza-heir teacher Kumiko {{spoiler|not to mention ends up with her in the end, though it's after he graduates}}.
* In the manga ''[[Faster Than a Kiss]]'', 16-year-old Kaji Fumino and her teacher, 24-year-old Ojiro Kazuma actually ''get married'' pre-book. It's explained that Fumino and her four year old brother are orphans, and are tired of being passed around to relatives. Her and her teacher end up in a quick spat where she challenges him and says, "Then, can you marry me and take care of us?!" He takes her seriously and they end up married. As the book progresses, they both grow to seriously fall in love with each other.
* One arc of ''[[The World God Only Knows (Anime)|The World God Only Knows]]'' features a [[Hot
* As the title suggests, this is the basis of the plot for ''[[My Wife Is a High School Girl]]''. Student Asami and teacher Kyosuke marry and have to keep their relationship a secret to outsiders. [[Hilarity Ensues]] in one episode when a woman who was told they were siblings spies on them and ends up getting an [[Brother-Sister Incest|even worse idea]]. Also, Asami's father's response to the marriage is to make them sign a [[Jail Bait Wait]] contract until she finishes school.
* [[Playing With a Trope|Not quite played straight]] in ''[[No Bra]]'' where Mizutani-sensei has started throwing herself at Masato not because she has feelings for him or actually wants him, but because she doesn't want to get kicked out of the apartment (she's been [[Pretty Freeloaders|freeloading]] there under the pretense of keeping an eye on Masato and Yuki) and knows Masato has trouble saying no to a girl if she's getting physical with him.
Line 476:
* We're just gonna make it easy or ourselves and say that if one of the major female characters in an H-game is a teacher, you have a very good chance of getting a shot at her.
* The [[Les Yay]] between Candy Cane and Miss Spencer in ''[[Rumble Roses]]''. Particularly blatant in Miss Spencer's [[Heel]] storyline.
* In the [[Dating Sim]] ''True Love'', one of the [[Chivalrous Pervert]] male lead's possible girlfriends is his young and beautiful teacher. {{spoiler|Curiously, to get her attention you need to save ''another'' girl from a [[Near
* ''Sims 2: University'', like any Sims game, lets you have sex ("Woo Hoo") with anyone, if you get your relationship with them high enough. This includes university professors, who are Sims that can be invited on dates or to one's home... and incidentally, doing so will increase a Sim's grades.
* In ''[[Amorous Professor Cherry]]'' (trust me, it's [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]]), this is both played straight with supporting character Mamiko, who willingly nails students who obviously are hot for her, and slightly subverted by ultranaive Chieri, who isn't originally this way, but will eventually become this trope, depending on the ending. Said ending can then either play it straight/subvert/avert this even then, as the game has many branches that can entirely alter this trope.
* In a school assignment in ''[[Mana Khemia Alchemists of Al Revis]]'', [[The Hero]] asks his homeroom teacher Professor Zeppel what sort of food the [[Hospital Hottie|school nurse]], also a teacher herself, would like (making food that the latter teacher liked ''is the assignment''). Zeppel, [[Hello, Nurse!|with good reason]], comes to the obvious conclusion...
* In ''[[Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World (Video Game)|Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World]]'', you can make an in-game selection which puts Lloyd in a romantic relationship with any female character, including Raine.
** It's just a follow up of ''[[Tales of Symphonia (Video Game)|Tales of Symphonia]]'', where you could pair up Lloyd with any teammate depending on what choices you made during the game. It affected many cutscenes and could even alter the plot if you picked up {{spoiler|Kratos}}. Of course, Lloyd being [[Idiot Hero|what he is]], most of the flirting and romantic [[Double Entendre|double entendres]] were lost to him.
Line 517:
== Real Life ==
* [[Renamed Tropes|Former]] [[Trope Namer]] Mary Kay Letourneau was the teacher involved in a widely publicized case in the U.S. for engaging in a sexual relationship with her junior-high student, Vili Fualaau (and eventually marrying him and having his two daughters, after serving an eight-year prison term for molestation). The case was noted for the mixed public reaction to it, often underlining the attractive appearance of the teacher. Many condemned the breach of ethics involved in engaging in sexual acts with underage children, while at least one public official famously asked, "[[Double Standard Rape (Female On Male)|Where were teachers like her when I went to school?]]"
* [[Denis Leary]] met his wife at Emerson College, when he taught there. See, it's not always creepy (it does help that they were both adults at the time).
* Joseph Campbell married one of his students after she had graduated, with the implication being that their relationship began during her time as a student in his class.
Line 588:
== Western Animation ==
* ''[[Family Guy]]''
** In the episode "Fast Times at Buddy Cianci Jr. High," Chris crushes on his sexy, scantily clad English teacher, Mrs. Lockhart. When she learns of his feelings from Peter ("Our son would like to...plow you?"), she instructs him to kill her husband so that they can be together. (Of course, she has no intention of "being together" with Chris at all; she just wants her husband dead.) The plot was loosely based on the [[Real Life]] case of [
** In one episode where Lois is running for School Council president, she refers to the fact that her opponent opposes background checks for teachers, and questions what kind of person she would hire. Cue cutaway to an algebra teacher slipping a student a note asking her "Do you like me? Yes? No? Maybe?" before grinning lecherously at her.
** Then there was the episode where Peter seceded from the US and Lois had to teach Meg and Chris. Chris tries to pass a note to Meg, Lois sees it...
