Line 7:
'''Elaine:''' No, because I slept with my back to him. <nowiki>*long pause* </nowiki>|''[[Seinfeld]]'' }}
Two characters have to share a room for the night. Just one
A source of embarrassment, [[Unresolved Sexual Tension|UST]], or at the very least fuel for [[Shipping|shippers]] everywhere, this is when two who aren't in a relationship (at the time) have to share a bed, for whatever reason.
Line 42:
* In ''[[Asobi ni Iku yo!|Asobi Ni Iku Yo]]'' after Kio's house becomes the Catian Embassy and Aoi and Manami get drafted as its security detail, they end up sharing Kio's bed, having ejected Kio himself to the couch.
* In ''[[Spice and Wolf]]'', Holo teases Lawrence about saving money by taking a room with a single bed. It doesn't really matter, since they usually sleep together in a not-particularly spacious cart while traveling anyway.
* In ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'', whether or not there is an extra bed at Germany's house we will never know, because Italy insists on sleeping in the same bed as
* Goes from awful to absolute worst in the ''[[Midori Days]]'' manga. The class goes to a ski resort, and Seiji and Ayase get lost in a snowstorm. Freezing cold, they decide to spend the night in an awkwardly-placed love hotel, with one bed. Ayase divides the bed with a blanket - that doesn't stop things when they accidentally start up some of the... ''kinkier'' mechanics of the bed. ''And then the entire class finds them.''
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'''s only episode with Kaworu shows him sharing his bedroom with Shinji. However, Shinji insists on sleeping on the floor since he asked Kaworu to let him spend the night there in the first place.
Line 68:
* In the first ''[[Austin Powers]]'' movie, before Ms. Kensington showed any attraction to Austin. She made him [[Exiled to the Couch|sleep on the couch]].
* ''The Sure Thing'' borrows a lot from ''It Happened One Night'' including doing the "one bed" bit twice (without the "wall").
* Played straight (so to speak) in ''[[Mulholland Drive]]'', when Betty suggests to Rita that she needn't sleep on the couch, as the bed is big enough for two. As Rita disrobes and get into bed naked, Betty realizes she feels sexually attracted to
* In ''[[Idiocracy]]'', Joe and Rita have to share the Lincoln Bedroom in the White House. Joe, naturally, takes the floor, even after Rita invites him into the bed. To add to the humor, Rita is a former prostitute.
* This happened in ''No Holds Barred'', a 1989 Hulk Hogan vehicle.
Line 120:
** In the first season episode "Angel," Buffy and Angel face this problem when Angel spends a night in Buffy's room. Buffy offers Angel her bed, but he declines. Their first kiss occurs about 24 hours later.
** In the seventh season episode "Showtime," Kennedy tries to engineer this in order to seduce Willow.
** Hilariously averted in ''[[Angel]]'' "Rm w/a Vu" when Cordy turns up at a shirtless, dripping wet Angel's apartment desperate for a place to
* While being secretly ferreted behind enemy lines in the ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Star Trek the Next Generation]]'' episode "Unification", Picard and Data are shacked up in a shared quarters with a single bunk, setting up this trope, but since Data is an android (and therefore doesn't need sleep), it never comes to pass. The awkwardness of the situation is still in effect, however, with Data creepily ''watching'' Picard sleep...
** There's also the two times that Q decided to hop into bed with Picard. The first time, he does it to taunt and annoy Picard, but in the second, he pretends to be the woman Picard went to bed with the night before. There's no reason for him to do it, he just does, and after Picard gets over the shock of finding Q there, they have a civil conversation.
Line 133:
* In one episode of ''[[NCIS]]'' Tony and Ziva spend a few days in Paris and their room only has one bed. Tony tells a witness Ziva took the couch. Ziva tells McGee that Tony took the couch. By the end of the episode it is revealed they shared the bed.
** Another example is when McGee and Abby are in Mexico and have to share a one-bed hotel room. The woman getting the bed is subverted when Abby sleeps in the room she is given for her class on solving cold cases after McGee uses tap water to brush his teeth.
* In the infamous "Ghost" episode of ''[[Law & Order: Special Victims Unit|Law and Order Special Victims Unit]]'', the fact that
* In an episode of ''[[The War at Home]]'', Dave, Larry and Kenny stays in a motel room with only two beds. Dave ends up sleeping on the floor because he doesn't want [[Pet Homosexual]] Kenny sleeping with neither Larry nor himself.
* Never actually shown on ''[[The Amazing Race]]'', but frequently talked about, especially when teams spend the night in a remote location.
Line 153:
== Videogames ==
* ''[[Grim Grimoire]]'' has Lillet Blan more or less kidnapping/adopting/eloping with Amoretta Virgine the [[Artificial Human|Homunculus]], not least because she's [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|grown quite fond of Amoretta]], but more immediately to make sure she's safe. (This is a very real concern, considering what happened to her in [[Groundhog Day Loop|previous time-loops]], sometimes of her own choice.) However, Lillet has only one bed. Neither of them mind,
* Happens in ''[[Tales of Phantasia]]'' when Cless and Mint first arrive in the past. They're both embarrassed by the situation, and it ends with Cless sleeping on the floor.
* Happens in ''[[Shenmue]] II'', when Ryo is invited to stay with Master Tao (Xiuying). He's quick to point out that she has only one bed, and she's even quicker in pointing out that he'll be taking the couch.
