* A Super Bowl ad featuring model Kate Upton shows how she washes a car -- by having football players do it for her.

* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'': Justin is not only a male example, but also completely aware of his sexiness and how to weaponize it. His character profile notes that he gets perfect grades despite being a BrainlessBeauty, raising the question of whether he earned them or not. He's able to force Izzy and Eva into giving him the winnings from ''Island'' just by taking off his shirt. During ''Action'', he uses his looks to breeze through the competition... until the others get used to him, at which point he has to scramble to use his brain, and promptly gets this trope turned around on him by Courtney.

* On ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'', Mrs. Wolowitz reminisces about how the boys in her neighborhood used to line up to bring her boxes of candy.
--> '''Mrs. Wolowitz''': [[FormerlyFit Why did I eat it all?!?!]]

** In [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E8RarityTakesManehattan "Rarity Takes Manehattan"]], she gets Spike to load [[LotsOfLuggage all her luggage]] on the train by simply batting her eyes and speaking to him in a cloying voice.

** In [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E3CastleSweetCastle "Castle Sweet Castle"]], she gets Spike to distract Twilight despite his misgivings by batting her eyes.

* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': Rangiku Matsumoto tends to take advantage of this trope. It's cranked UpToEleven to be PlayedForLaughs in the anime, however.

** The show goes out of its way to [[DeconstructedTrope deconstruct]] this trope with Penny. While she ''is'' extremely attractive and isn't afraid to flaunt her sexiness to [[IHaveBoobsYouMustObey manipulate men]] (she occasionally gives her bill collectors lingerie photos instead of payment and owns a LittleBlackDress that, as she puts it, "got her out of two speeding tickets and jury duty"), she's also a genuinely kindhearted person and EthicalSlut who dates men because she finds them attractive, not because she wants things from them. She also realizes that three of the four main male characters on the show (barring [[CelibateEccentricGenius Sheldon]]) are totally smitten with her, but genuinely treats them like friends, invites them to parties and events, and never leads them on. It's thrown into focus when another beautiful woman moves into their apartment complex and ''does'' get the guys to do favors for her by pretending she's interested in them. Penny realizes what she's doing and tells her off; when the other actress tries to claim they're NotSoDifferent, Penny defends herself and even uses a ''Star Trek'' quote to support the guys, making her realize that she's actually becoming invested in their interests, too.

* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': Happens most notably in "The Model Teacher". Walter Denton, Mr. Boynton and Mr. Conklin trip over themselves helping a glamorous ImmoralReporter from "Snap Magazine". She is at Madison High to do a profile on the day in the life of a schoolteacher.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'', if you get good test scores, you become more popular among your classmates, and girls will leave gifts for you in your locker. You never find out who left them, but hey! Free items!
** Except in the epilogue, where it's revealed that it's [[spoiler:[[{{Gonk}} Hanako]].]]

[[caption-width-right:320:Sayuri doesn't have to display this trope. Men will do that for her.]]

When a [[HeadTurningBeauty sexy female]] enters the scene, expect all the males in the area to spring into action, trying to curry her favor by doing all kinds of little things for her, like getting her a drink, making sure she has a seat, or fetching anything she asks for, no matter how difficult it is to obtain.

* In a Pepsi One TV ad that spoofs Goldilocks, a locker room full of male athletes discovers a soda-stealing woman in the tub. She asks for a towel, and everyone volunteers.

* In one episode of ''Manga/MyBrideIsAMermaid'', [[{{Tsundere}} Lunar]] joins the same class [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Nagasumi]] and her [[UnknownRival rival]] Sun are in. She wants to prove herself to be more popular than Sun, and claims she forgot her books. Sun tries to offer her notebook, but a bunch of the male students throw theirs on top of her desk. Lunar starts to gloat a little, but then Sun does a similar thing, and gets even more books than Lunar did. This eventually devolves into a 3 way war at the school between Sun's faction, Lunar's faction, and a third faction involving all the girls, with Nagasumi caught in between all of it.

* In her very first appearance in 1940 ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} escaped thanks to this trope. She was onboard a yacht and stole a jewel before being captured by Franchise/{{Batman}}... who then allowed her to escape (and 'accidentally' bumped into Robin to stop him intervening to catch her.) While she wasn't a noticeably vile villainess, there wasn't any additional sympathetic reason for letting her go either, just that [[DatingCatwoman Batman found her sexy]].

* Parodied in ''Film/ScaryMovie2''. As soon as the sultry Theo enters the mansion's dinner room and catches the attention of all the guys in the room, she demands that they give her a chair. The more plain Cindy gets thrown out of her own chair and Theo ends up with about four places to sit, including the paraplegic giving her his own wheelchair.

* A rather chaste example in ''Webcomic/HoovesOfDeath,'' as "sexy" as a unicorn can be, anyway. Aware of the Medic Blaze's crush on her, Sergeant Glitter only needs to give him a nuzzle to to reduce him to a stammering mess and have him to agree to train her squad for the day. Glitter's apparently pulled this so often that Blaze notes her squad is almost a certified medical unit by now.

* Kei finds herself on the receiving end of this in ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'' after her father becomes a successful [=YouTuber=], with people throwing down 10000 yen in the superchat every time she walks across the screen during one of his live streams.

* Mt.Lady in ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' uses her looks and celebrity status to get free snacks while working security at the Sports Festival.

->-- '''[[Music/BrooksAndDunn Brooks & Dunn]]''', "Rock My World (Little Country Girl)"

When a [[HelloNurse sexy female]] enters the scene, expect all the males in the area to spring into action, trying to curry her favor by doing all kinds of little things for her, like getting her a drink, making sure she has a seat, or fetching anything she asks for, no matter how difficult it is to obtain.

* On ''Series/{{30Rock}}'', this is referred to as 'The Bubble'. Liz briefly dates an idiot doctor who has always had everything handed to him and was shocked to find he was being given preferential treatment. After spending a day avoiding such treatment, he decides to go back to The Bubble.
