*In ''Film/AKnisghtsTale'', ''Film/AKnisghtsTale'': Jocelyn invokes {{invoke|dTrope}}s this as a means for Ulrich to prove his love for her. While winning for their lover is something any knight would do, only one truly in love would lose to prove their love.
*In ''Film/{{Next|2007}}'', Nicolas Cage ''Film/{{Next|2007}}'': {{Subverted}}. Cris Johnson is a man with the ability to see into the immediate future, and he knows none of his pickup lines will work on the woman he meets in a diner. Not even beating up her stalkerish ex-boyfriend gets him a good result, only allowing the boyfriend to sucker-punch ''him''.
* In the spoof film ''Film/EpicMovie'', the main character Peter is portrayed as a loser in his high school "Mutant Academy" because his mutation only gave him chicken-like wings compared to others larger angel wings. Because of this, he doesn't have a chance with the very sexy and attractive shape shifter Mystique, portrayed by Carmen Electra. However, later on in the movie, after it's revealed he's gonna be the king of Gnarnia, she walks up to him, calls him being king "so hot" and says they should get out of there and drags him into a tent. She then makes out with him, before asking him want he wants her to shape shift into. He asks at first for [[BreastExpansion bigger breasts]], a larger ass, and a badonkadonk. However he then takes it back for a "Mamabrow" (Unibrow) and [[ChubbyChaser "Big Flabby Grandma Arms/Bingo Wings like a fat blue Britney Spears"]]...he does drool at the new transformation and they start to get in on before it [[SexyDiscretionShot thankfully fades to black...]] [[NightmareFuel So he got the girl, even if in a very disturbing way.]]
-->Mystique: So... you're gonna be the king of Gnarnia?\\
Peter: That's what they say.\\
Mystique: Mmm...I think that's so hot. (Grabs his arm) Why don't we get out of here? (She chuckles and pulls him into the tent. The next shot between the two is her throwing him down on a bed and making out withhim.)
