History Main / MakeOutPoint

** "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E15Phases}} Phases]]". Xander and Cordelia are making out in her car when a werewolf attacks them. The following night Buffy and Giles are searching for the werewolf and Giles suggests knocking on a few car windows and asking if anyone's seen the creature. Buffy gives him a {{What an Idiot}} look. "Giles, no-one's seen anything."

** On radio and television, the AnytownAmerica setting of Madison had Outpost Road, a scenic sight in the country outside of town. It's the focus of the radio episode "Outpost Road". Walter Denton and Harriot Conklin had been caught necking out on Outpost Road, but to avoid being identified after their narrow escape, they claimed to have loaned his jalopy to Miss Brooks and Mr Boynton. An interesting prospect for Connie, but she doesn’t want to be dragged into the mess. Connie only agrees to play along if Mr Boynton does. Amazingly, he does, and the two teachers plan to return to the scene of the crime for their own necking session.

* Two if these in ''VisualNovel/DoubleHomework'':

-->'''Buffy:''' Didn't anyone come here just to make out? ''[two human teenagers raise their hands]'' Awww... that's sweet. Run.

* In the British murder-mystery series ''Jericho'' (not ''that'' Series/{{Jericho}}), a movie theater screening ''Film/TheBridgeOnTheRiverKwai'' is full of teenagers crassly making out, indifferent to the portrayals of death and heroism on the screen, as part of the series' general deconstruction of 1950's British society.

* Tom Paris whips up a Holodeck version of one (on Mars no less!) for the Doctor's date with a Vidiian woman on ''Series/StarTrekVoyager''.

* ''Literature/EvidenceOfThingsNotSeen'': The highway pull-out where Tommy's motorbike is found is a popular spotfor horny teenagers, as well as the subject of a lot of terrible jokes about girls putting out or boys pulling out.

* Shirogane of ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'' is such a SourPrude because he was once worshiped as a god, but eventually most of the "visitors" to [[MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces his shrine]] were couples looking for a private spot to meet. The [[GenderBender sex-changed spell]] he used on Matsuri was originally met to punish them, though that proves for naught as the place was destroyed to build a dam while Shirogane was away learning it.

This does count as a subtrope of MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces, especially with more mundane interruptions sich as [[WomanScorned a jilted]] [[LoveTriangle lover]], a less-romantic [[TheRival rival]], or even a police officer that just happened by.

* Briefly featured in ''Literature/GoodOmens'' as the road behind the military base, noted as appearing to be "paved with rubber".

** That sounds like the Lover's Lane from ''Literature/AnneOfGreenGables,'' which was simply a path in the woods where a couple can walk around and be alone for awhile (it, like many of the other locations around Avonlea given names by Anne and her friends, was named more for the sake of giving it a suitably romantic-sounding name than for any other reason).

* ''Film/NightClaws'' begins with a scene of two throwaway characters getting killed here, much to the annoyance of [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Mr. Antwiler]].

* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' once mocked a film called ''Film/{{Hobgoblins}}'' during which some of the characters visit "Reputation Road." One of the riffs made is how the area is surprisingly well organized, including helpful signposts to tell you where to park if you want to just make out, or if you want to "go all the way".

* Mocked repeatedly in ''Film/TheCreepingTerror'', as the titular monster repeatedly "sneaks" up on teenage lovers.
* The road leading to the house in ''Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate'' is a Lover's Lane - the police spend all their time driving up and down stopping teenagers from kissing... and yet hardly bother with the family who've gone missing in the creepy house at the end, even when the teens ''tell them to.''
-->"Beep-beep, way to go [[Anime/SpeedRacer Speeeeeeeeed]]!"

Often involves a tourist-trap-type scenic bluff, so as to overlook the city lights at night...as if you're looking at ''that'' when you're up here. Alternately, it could be a DriveInTheater. Also a standard set up for DeathBySex in horror movies, as the people in the car are... distracted, to say the least. Similarly, it seems being at Make-Out Point makes you immediately a WeirdnessMagnet -- the first people to see the falling meteor, the mutant escapee, or the alien invasion force tends to be such a couple; see TerrorAtMakeOutPoint.

* ''Series/MrBelvedere'': The episode "Homecoming" saw Heather and her boyfriend, Keith, go to a Make-Out Point to, well, make out ... until Keith tries to take things a step too far. (The scene itself was filmed on a soundstage, with a nighttime backdrop used to set the scene.)

-->'''Buffy:''' Didn't anyone come here just to make out? [two human teenagers raise their hands] Awww... that's sweet. Run.

* ''Series/TheMentalist'' In 'Rose Tinted Glasses,' this is where the [[VictimOfTheWeek Victims of the Week]], a married couple, are found. Likely nostalgia as they were going to his high school reunion.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'' had one in the episode where they all get superpowers. To quote Squidward- "Ah, Makeout reef. Good times, Goood times." The villians are terroizing the kids making out there...and inexplicably come across [[spoiler: a guy making out with a PILLOW.]] "Hey man. That's not cool..."

-->'''Brian:''' Well, uh...I suppose if you imagine it like a parking space that you think "Gosh, there's no way I'm gonna be able to fit in there," but then you fold in the side-view mirrors and sure enough, well, look at that.

** ''King Of The Hill'' plays a version of this trope when Hank takes Ladybird to a moonlit bluff to practice dog dancing.
** There's also a place in Arlen called "The Caves": a place where teens went to make out, drink beer, and do drugs back in TheSeventies.

* The falls in ''Film/CherryFalls'', where the first murder occurs.

* The teenage couple in the opening scene of ''Film/{{Zodiac}}'' arrive at such a place, only to be [[spoiler: shot by the SerialKiller]].

* The infamous "[[YourHeadAsplode Disco Boy Scene]]" in ''Film/Maniac1980'' takes its place on one of these.

* ''Film/ScaryMovie'' of course makes fun of this by having a news crew go to the scene where they expect a killer to appear. Naturally he does show up and kill a girl waiting for her boyfriend to come back, and then the whole thing turns into a ''[[Film/TheBlairWitchProject Blair Witch Project]]'' spoof as the news crew runs away.
