You Must Be Cold: Difference between revisions

Not affiliated at all with [[Nipple-and-Dimed]].

* ''[[Arisa]]'': Tsubasa gets a jacket from Manabe when they're both stuck on the mountain. He also says [[Take Off Your Clothes]].

* Kurama gives Nana his suit jacket in ''[[Elfen Lied]]'', although this has less to do with chills and more to do with preserving her modesty.

* In ''[[The Green Hornet]]'' fanfic ''Bad Medicine'', the Green Hornet notices that the narrator is shaking from both cold and shock {{spoiler|she had just killed the man who had abducted and tortured her in self defense}} and, like the gentleman he is, drapes his trademark green overcoat over her shoulders.

* In the ''[[Kaichou wa Maid-sama]]'' fanfic ''[[Seduction]]'', Tora gives Sarakshi his coat after he sees her shiver from the cold while standing in the window.

* ''[[Tremors]]''. When the two male heroes and the heroine are trapped overnight on some rocks by the graboids, one of the male heroes gives his coat to the heroine.

** If you watch the scene carefully, it's actually hero #2 who gives her hero #1's coat; he's playing matchmaker for her and hero #1.

* An interesting variation occurs in ''[[Goth Girl Rising]]'' by Barry Lyga. After Fanboy and his mom come to get Kyra from the police station, there's a scene where he comments on how cold she must be, but rather than offering his coat, he gives her his hat. (This [[It Makes Sense in Context|makes sense when you remember that she shaved her head earlier in the book.]]) Leads to a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] later when he tells her that his change in personality was because of her and she says that's even better than him giving her his hat.

* In ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'' Edward gives Bella his jacket in a cold restaurant. To be fair, he is waiting for her to go into shock after [[Attempted Rape|nearly being raped]] and [[Our Vampires Are Different|it's not like he would notice the cold anyway]].

* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'': Angel lends Buffy his coat (because she's just the last hope of humanity, she can't be expected to dress herself adequately) and Xander gets pissed, because he [[Genre Savvy|knows what it implies]].

** Spike also does this for Drusilla in their first appearance. This doesn't make a lot of sense, given that neither of them have body heat.

* There's an old song involving a young girl being offered a coat, first by an older man and then by a younger one that she's interested in.

{{quote|"Are you cold?"

* In ''[[Star Ocean the Second Story]]'', a Private Action in a snow town involves [[Ms. Fanservice]] Celine whining about being cold. Claude tells her she should have put on some clothes and she explains that she cannot use her magic if she covers up her runes (which are on her inner thighs).

* After the Christmas Party in ''[[Tokimeki Memorial]]'', {{spoiler|Mira Kagami}} comes without a party coat because {{spoiler|she's from such a poor household that doesn't have enough money for one, barely being able to afford a dress}}. After the party, if she's in [[Luminescent Blush|Tokimeki State]] with the protagonist, they'll go back to home together and she'll sneeze, prompting the protagonist to give her his coat. She pushes the trope to [[Comforting Comforter]] zone by taking his arm put herself close to him, so she can give him some warmth in return. And on top of that, she'll give her his coat back a few days later... [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|with all its little tears sewn off.]]

* The webcomic ''[[No Need for Bushido]]'' does this early on in [http://www.noneedforbushido.com/archive.php?strip_id=18 this strip].

* In ''[[General Protection Fault]]'', Nick gives his coat to Ki while stepping out of their car to discuss their feelings for each other after his "date" with Trudy results in him confessing that he's in love with her. Later, in the "Rendezvous a Paris" arc, Fooker gives his coat to Sharon. In both cases, the female characters are wearing sleeveless dresses.

* ''[[Batman Beyond]]'': Terry gives his coat to [[Dating Catwoman|Melanie]] in her first episode. She's still wearing it when they part, but somehow Terry manages to be wearing it in the next scene.

* Biology actually justifies this trope since women tend to have a lower body temperature than men. Additionally, the size difference means that women generally lose heat more easily due to their surface to volume ratio, and that it's far far more likely the guy's coat will fit the girl than the other way around. Men are also less likely to leave coats at home in the first place in the name of fashion.

** Or to wear a [[Stripperific]] outfit in the first place, resulting in being cold regardless of the weather.

* At the end of "Someday in the Rain" in ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi|The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', Kyon acquired not one but ''two'' girls' uniform jackets while he was napping in the cold club room. Earlier in the episode, Mikuru gave him her scarf as well.

* [[Gender Inverted Trope|Gender inverted]] in ''[[Eden of the East]]'', where Saki offers an amnesiac man named Akira her coat as thanks for helping her get out of some trouble with White House security...Oh, and because [[Naked on Arrival|he was naked]].

* Inverted in ''[[The Incredible Hulk (film)|The Incredible Hulk]]''. Liv Tyler stays well dressed throughout the movie (when she gets soaked while [[Wet Sari Scene|wearing a white shirt]], the camera studiously shows nothing), but Edward Norton keeps incurring [[Clothing Damage]]. At one point she lends him her coat, and it gets trashed. It's adorable.

* Mocked in ''[[Wet Hot American Summer]]''. Two camp counselors are out on an awkward date, and the boy offers the girl his jacket. She puts it on and he says "I'm gonna need that back," which she interprets as playful flirting. He insists: "No, seriously. Give it back right now."

* In his book ''Couplehood'' Paul Reiser expresses great indignity that such a phenomenon must exist. In particular he's annoyed that some women refuse to take a coat with them when they leave the house, forcing the guy to give her his coat later. After all, he could see this coming and yet he's the one who ends up cold.

* ''Creeper'' by David Morrell. In order to facillitate escape from that chapter's threat, the hero dresses the girl in clothing... taken from a shotgun victim. So, yeah.

* In the ''[[That '70s Show]]'' episode "Ice Shack", when Kelso is trying to impress Jackie and get back together with her, Eric and Donna deliberately demonstrate this to give Kelso an idea. However, when Jackie immediately replies, "I'm cold, too," Kelso completely misses the point and replies, "Well, Jackie, I can't control the weather!" Fez is happy to oblige, though.

* An especially amusing example on ''[[Leverage]]''. Nate is actually being "judged" by a third party on how well he does on his date with Sophie, {{spoiler|with whom he's already the [[Official Couple]]}}. The third party almost knocks him down a few points for sitting Sophie in a chill, but [[Genre Savvy]] Nate invokes this trope by draping his coat around her shoulders. Once the third party is gone, Sophie quickly passes the coat to Nate, who immediately puts it back on.

* Storm Silverhand and her father Dornal (''[[Forgotten Realms]]'') [http://www.candlekeep.com/library/articles/sse/sse_020304-04.htm sometimes do such things] (both are mostly immortal, but still suffer from cold):

{{quote|He once gave all of his clothing to shivering beggars on the road near Neverwinter and walked naked into a blizzard, hoping to die [...] was awed when he once witnessed Storm disrobed completely to give all of her clothing to freezing folk who'd been driven out of their (wooden) home by fire, and then lead them for miles to shelter (striding naked through the snow to her farmhouse). A sort of: "That's my girl!" admiration.}}

* ''[[Fate/stay night]]'', Unlimited Blade Works route. Rin wakes up after dozing off to find that her Servant Archer put his coat around her to keep her warm. {{spoiler|His [[Face Heel Turn]] is in the next scene.}}

** Of course, {{spoiler|he remains loyal to Rin. It's ''Shiro'' he wants to kill, and needs to be free of her orders to do it.}}

* In the ''[[Gargoyles]]'' episode "Eye of the Beholder," Fox comes out of her monstrous [[Werewolf]]-like form and collapses to the ground, apparently naked from what we can see. (Earlier we saw her clothes rip when she first transformed.) [[Unholy Matrimony|Her fiancé Xanatos]] is there, but he doesn't really have anything to cover her with; Elisa, who is wearing a ''[[Beauty and The Beast]]''-[[Shout-Out|style]] gown for Halloween, takes off the skirt (she's wearing something underneath) and gives it to him to wrap her in.

* [[Truth in Television|Of course.]]
