{{examples}}
== Type A - A Kiss is Just a Kiss ==
* There was a '90s European commercial for (I think) Levis, where a bunch of mermaids capture a guy and kiss him underwater. I think the punchline is, they can't get his Levis off because of the double-stitching, so they let him go.{{verify}}▼
=== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ===
* There's an underwater kissing scene in ''[[Macross Frontier]]''. Although it's a scene in a movie shoot. Alto and Ranka are very flustered by having to perform it and [[Big Brother Instinct|Ozma]] outright called the movie "tasteless".
Line 21 ⟶ 25:
* Hagino and Mari do one in the ''[[Blue Drop]]'' anime.
=== [[
* ''[[Superman
* In ''[[W.I.T.C.H.]]'', Cornelia and Peter share an underwater kiss after he saved her from being pulled under.
▲=== [[Commercials]] ===

=== [[Film]] ===
Line 39 ⟶ 40:
* In the final ''[[Percy Jackson and The Olympians]]'' book, Percy kisses Annabeth underwater.
=== [[Live
* The one most of us have seen most often is surely the one from the opening titles of ''[[Hart to Hart]]'', right? "When they met, it was ''moyder''!"
Line 56 ⟶ 57:
* The kiss between the girl and the blue boy in ''[[But That Was Yesterday]]''.
== Type B - Share the Air ==
=== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ===
* ''[[Love Hina]]'' '''almost''' had Naru and Keitaro doing a type B, but because Keitaro is the [[Butt Monkey]] it ended up failing.
Line 84 ⟶ 85:
* Jason Bourne attempts to revive {{spoiler|Marie}} this way after their car crashes off a bridge in ''[[The Bourne Supremacy]]''. {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real|It doesn't work]].}}
=== [[Literature]] ===
* In ''Flora's Dare'', Lord Axacaya pulls this on Flora. The age difference makes it distinctly squicky, especially with some of the other subtext.
* ''Goddess of the Sea'' by P.C. Cast has the mermaid Undine save and kiss the heroine Christine...for Christine to open her eyes to see that they've [[Freaky Friday Flip|Body Swapped]].
* It's quickly glossed over and Daphne does not seem to remember it, but there's a part in [[Nation]] where Mau saves Daphne from drowning using this trope in the process.
=== [[Live
* In ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'', Alex (whose power is [[Super Not-Drowning Skills|breathing underwater]]) kisses Claire to give her oxygen.
* [[Xena]] and Lao Ma, when the former is hiding in the latter's pool.
Line 99 ⟶ 100:
=== [[Web Comics]] ===
* In ''[[Magellan]]'', Fatima, not knowing the cultural significance of kissing between females, does a Type B with team mate Kaycee Jones in [https://web.archive.org/web/20120508123306/http://magellanverse.com/?p=737 Chapter 2]. Other team mates are suitably distracted!
* Dawn from ''[[Dawn of Time]]'' [http://www.dawnoftimecomics.com/index.php?id=156 is the given one of the Type B variety.]
=== [[Web Original]] ===
