* Using another gardening example: in ''SomethingNew'', Sanaa Lathan's character finds herself getting a little hot and bothered watching Simon Baker dig up roots in her yard.
* ''TheFullMonty''. (Although most of them were ''out'' of work, and only one really qualified as "hot." But "sexy working-class guys" was at least the idea behind the plan.)

* Brilliantly parodied in ''{{The IT Crowd}}'' when Jen has to distract a woman to sneak Roy out from under her desk, by looking out the window and saying: "Ooh, a builder working with his shirt off.. just like on the television." All the women run to take a look, to reveal a pale, flabby guy staring vacantly back at them.

* ''SengokuBasara'' has Katakura Kojuro, resident BattleButler to BloodKnight extraordinaire Date Masamune, who apparently unwinds from a long campaign by way of vegetable gardening.

The fact that he's prime MrFanservice with a sexy [[GoodScarsEvilScars scar]] and loads of HoYay with his boss doesn't hurt either.
