Line 15: == [[Film]] == * Lampshaded in the ''[[Hellboy (film)\|Hellboy]]'' movie. {{quote\|(as they watch Hellboy's crush, Liz, and [[The New Guy\|John]] sitting on a bench)~~<br />~~ '''Kid On Rooftop''': Look at him! He's yawning! He's ''bored!''~~<br />~~ '''[[Hellboy (film)\|Hellboy]]''': Yeah, yeah, the ol' "stretch-and-yawn" trick. Watch and learn, kid. }} * ''[[Grease]]'', in the drive-thru scene {{spoiler\|(it fails)}}. * ''King Kong Lives''... done by ''Kong'' to Lady Kong. This somehow manages ''not'' to be the dumbest moment in the movie. * Doug from ''[[A Night at the Roxbury]]'' does this. The girl moves his hand from her shoulder, to her breast. == [[Literature]] == Line 27: * Subverted in [[Kushiel's Legacy]]. Phedre reaches for a knife on a nightstand, to assassinate Waldemar Selig. Her movement wakes him, and so she plays it off as this trope, instead. == [[Live -Action TV]] == * The [[Ur Example]] of this was Marcia's boyfriend doing this to her on ''[[The Brady Bunch]]''. * In the ''[[Ugly Betty]]'' episode "Something Wicked This Way Comes", Gio has to pretend to be Betty's boyfriend. When he puts his arm around her, his acting becomes a little too convincing for Henry. Line 36: ** [[Henpecked Husband\|"He's a good influence on me, actually."]] * ''[[Seinfeld]]'' had a variation that served the same basic purpose: stopping-short. While a man's driving a car with a woman in the passenger seat, he brakes suddenly and puts his arm out in front of her, supposedly to make sure she doesn't slam into the dashboard, but actually so her breasts will slam into his arm instead. * From ''[[That '70s Show]]'', [[Gender ~~Flipped~~Flip\|Donna does it to Eric]]. * Used and lampshaded in ''[[Herman's Head]]'' when Herman is dating a TV star who had the trope used on her character. Line 50: == [[Web Comics]] == * [http://www.thewotch.com/?epDate=2005-06-03 Rule] number [http://www.thewotch.com/?epDate=2005-06-08 Two] in ''[[The Wotch]]''. Used more successfully [http://www.thewotch.com/?epDate=2008-03-18 later]. * [https://web.archive.org/web/20151031012406/http://hail-nekoyasha.deviantart.com/art/Better-Luck-Next-Time-19848758\] * Used in ''[[Misfile]]'' [http://www.misfile.com/?page=1607 here]. Line 72: * ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003\|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003)]]'' has a boyfriend/girlfriend example in the episode "The People's Choice", where Casey does it to April while hanging out at his grandmother's farm. * In ''[[The Spectacular Spider-Man]]'''s first season finale, Flash Thompson attempts this on Mary Jane Watson, with predictable results. * Jonesy on ''[[~~Sixteen\|~~6teen]]'' explains this to Wyatt when giving him his dating training. ** Darth Mall also attempted this on Nikki, only to fail spectacularly. * Parodied in [[Kaeloo]], when [[Jerkass\|Mr. Cat]] pulls this manuever on [[The Woobie\|Quack-Quack]] on a couch in order to punch him in the face. Line 84: [[Category:Love Tropes]] [[Category:Comedy Tropes]] [[Category:~~Yawn and Reach~~{{PAGENAME}}]]
