History Main / HookersAndBlow

* ''Series/TheGoodPlace'': Mindy St. Clare, the sole inhabitant of [[SoOkayItsAverage The Medium Place]], was an AmoralAttorney in life, who mostly spent her money on cocaine, strippers and sex. However, during one particular cocaine-binge, she had a personal epiphany and drew up plans for a huge charity fund, then died almost immediately afterwards by falling on a subway track. After Mindy's death, her sister used her money to make the fund a reality, leading to Mindy getting the afterlife "credit" for the good it caused. Since this setting only rewards good actions performed selflessly, this led to a kind of glitch in the afterlife system where neither the Good Place or the Bad Place had definitive claim on Mindy's soul. Since her situation was unique, both sides gave her an afterlife where she was neither rewarded, nor punished (and while not addicted, she still has a craving for cocaine. Forever.)

* ''Website/NobodyHere'': "[[https://nobodyhere.com/justme/hermit.here Hermit]]" has Jogchem bring a hermit crab to the city, only for it to hide behind drugs, religion, money and lust. It contains a little interactive animation of the crab dancing behind beer, a pack of Marlboros and some Prozac.

* In the ''ComicBook/{{Serenity}}: Better Days'' miniseries, the crew steals a fortune. The book contains DaydreamSurprise panels showing what each person says they'll do with their share. Zoe and Wash buy a cruise ship and raise a family on it, Kaylee opens an engine part shop that stocks entirely [[ContinuityNod compression coils]]. River does... [[http://fandomania.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/serenity2-003.jpg something interesting,]] etc. When they get to the Shepherd's, [[http://fandomania.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/serenity2-002.jpg it's not exactly what one would expect from a man of God.]] After seeing the crew's shocked looks, he explains that he was joking.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Brickleberry}}'' had Smokey The Bear, a DepravedKidsShowHost (and Steve's childhood hero), who turns out to be an alcoholic drug-addict who sleeps with anything that moves, and ends up getting Steve addicted to crack and sleeps with Ethel (who Steve is in love with) before dying of a heart attack.

Not to be confused with [[JustForPun hookers who blow]], though an overlap can occur if she's hyped up on coke.

* In ''Film/BadLieutenantPortOfCallNewOrleans'', the DirtyCop protagonist has a HookerWithAHeartOfGold for a girlfriend, uses his position to extort sex, and spends the entire movie high on Vicodin, heroin, marijuana, crack cocaine, regular cocaine, or more than one of those at once.

* In ''Film/{{Downfall}}'', after Hermann Fegalein, Eva Braun's brother-in-law, is tracked down to be executed for abandoning his post during the battle of Berlin, he's found in a hotel used by [[ScrewTheWarWerePartying soldiers and civilians throwing a wild party.]] The room he's occupying he shares with a nude woman has booze bottles strewn about, and there are several lines of cocaine on a nearby dresser.

* Website/NobodyHere: "[[https://nobodyhere.com/justme/hermit.here Hermit]]" has Jogchem bring a hermit crab to the city, only for it to hide behind drugs, religion, money and lust. It contains a little interactive animation of the crab dancing behind beer, a pack of Marlboros and some Prozac.

-->"As soon as that first check arrived, Kim was on the phone with his dealer, and two hours later, he was in a hot tub full of strippers."

* WebVideo/BennettTheSage invokes this as a joke regarding ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'''s status as a CashCowFranchise for ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWingEndlessWaltz'' as a little girl asked why there's still war, Bennett, for a skit as her grandfather, said "Because Creator/{{Bandai|NamcoEntertainment}} needs that coke and whore money," before he corrects himself and adds, "I mean, milk and cookies money."

* ''Series/JessicaJones2015'' sees Jeri indulge, quite literally, [[spoiler:while coming to terms with her ALS diagnosis and threatened ouster from the firm]].

* The music video for Music/{{Ghost}}'s cover of the Music/{{Genesis}} song "Jesus He Knows Me" has the GreedyTelevangelist main character indulging in a whole lot of decadence of this fashion when he's not doing sermons.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'', the band tricks Rock N' Roll Clown Dr. Rockzo ([[CatchPhrase he does cocaine]]) into coming to an intervention by promising him [[http://video.adultswim.com/metalocalypse/rockzos-intervention.html "hookers and ice ka-ka-ka-ka-ka reeeeeam!"]]

* In the Lorenzo Carcaterra novel ''Sleepers'', one of the guards from the reformatory later becomes a crooked cop and it is strongly implied that womanizing and snorting coke are his primary pastimes.

* Lord Iron from "Literature/TheCambistAndLordIron" has this reputation.

** Used liberally by Frank Costello in ''Film/TheDeparted''. Subsequent journalism revealed that "snort cocaine off hooker's ass" was on Creator/JackNicholson's real-life cinematic [[IncrediblyLamePun bucket list]].
* ''Film/{{Scarface 1983}}'' pretty much runs on this trope, given the nature of Tony Montana's work and...leisure activities.

* In ''Literature/LayerCake'', the protagonist, a cocaine dealer, generally restricts his use of the drug to as an "aphrodisiac" and mentions attracting female partners with the appeal of high-quality cocaine. His associate [[ScaryBlackMan Morty]] pretty much has this as his hobby.

A typical way to show that some characters have fallen into decadence is to show them being highly promiscuous and/or doing lots of drugs. Sometimes this can even lead to a character's downfall (if the protagonist), or outright death (if a villain or supporting character).

* Creator/BretEastonEllis and the rest of the 1980s "Brat Pack" of young authors write/wrote frequently about extremely decadent characters. Ellis, in particular, takes this UpToEleven, portraying his characters (especially [[Literature/AmericanPsycho Patrick Bateman]]) as decadent to point of making [[TheCaligula Caligula]] look prudish.

* ''Webcomic/PvP'' [[http://pvponline.com/comic/thu-nov-11 referenced this during a D&D session when the party was rewarded]]. It later got put [[http://www.pvponline.com/2008/05/22/ale-and-whores-return/ on a T-shirt]].

-->''Well you know we sold out a long time ago\\

-->''They say I spend my money on women and wine,''

-->''They shall eat, but not be satisfied;''
-->''they shall play the whore, but not multiply,''
-->''because they have forsaken the LORD''
-->''to cherish whoredom, wine, and new wine,''
-->''which take away the understanding.'' (English Standard Version)

* ''Series/LawAndOrder'' once had a (male) murder suspect's alibi turn out to be this. Offers a mild deconstruction, in that cocaine's RealLife tendency to interfere with the ability to sexually perform meant that several prostitutes had to be called in, thereby giving the man a surprisingly airtight alibi.
