** This is the idea behind the [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/draw-me-like-one-of-your-french-girls "Draw me like one of your French girls"]] meme, showing animals, people or sometimes inanimate objects (usually) unintentionally posed this way, with the name taken from the infamous drawing scene in ''Film/{{Titanic|1997}}''.
** The [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/my-body-is-ready "My Body is Ready"]] meme similarly follows this format.

* PlayedForLaughs in ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom'', in which Indy and Willie have an argument over their BelligerentSexualTension. Each one is certain that the other is hot for them (and they're both right), but their egos won't allow either to "submit". Thus, they retire to their individual rooms and the audience is treated to a montage as they prepare themselves for a wild night of raunchy sex, only to (angrily) realize that neither one is biting. Then, the trope is played its straightest after Indy is almost assassinated in his room and barges into Willie's to check for another assassin, with Willie reclining on the bed, positively ''giddy'' to see a crazed Indy busting her door down.

* ''Mindstar Rising'' by Creator/PeterFHamilton. The heroes burst into the villain's lair to rescue a DamselInDistress, only to find she's been brainwashed with drugs and is lying naked in bed, saying she's ready to begin. Everyone starts sniggering...until she realises they haven't come for an orgy and attacks them in a BerserkerRage.

* The titular Summer in Film/FiveHundredDaysOfSummer does this to protagonist Tom, right before he tried to temper his expectations in the bathroom.

** Bibi Dahl does in ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly'', but Bond declines the offer due to her [[JailBaitTaboo being underaged]].

* ''Series/{{Obliterated}}. In the first episode TheSquad's "Tech Chick", AsianAndNerdy Maya Lerner, works up the nerve to seduce MrFanservice Chad [=McKnight=] by walking into his hotel room naked except for whipped cream covering her naughty bits. Unfortunately she discovers her female boss already there in a state of undress, which proves a severe MomentKiller.

** {{Implied|Trope}} in [[Recap/FriendsS5E4TheOneWherePhoebeHatesPBS "The One Where Phoebe Hates PBS"]], just after Chandler and Monica get together when their relationship is still a secret. Rachel goes into Monica's room after knocking (and hearing a rather seductive "I've been waiting for you" in response) and comes out screaming a moment later. When Monica claims to have been taking a nap, Rachel replies that no one takes a nap "in that position", suggesting that Monica as she was getting ready for Chandler to arrive, seemingly in a suggestive position. This quickly forces Monica to come up with a story that she is seeing a guy at work and was waiting for him. When Chandler walks into the apartment with some champagne, which is now also currently occupied by Joey and Ross, he quickly makes up an excuse that his office has just got wrinkle-free tax paper and he's come over to celebrate.

** "[[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E2AfterThePhantomsOfYourFormerSelf ...After the Phantoms of Your Former Self]]": Lestat de Lioncourt anticipates consummating his MetaphoricalMarriage to Louis de Pointe du Lac, so he quickly strips off all of his clothing, lets Louis appreciate his nude, muscular figure for a moment before settling down inside his coffin, and then invites Louis to come over with "It's okay. [[DoubleEntendre You can be on top.]]" Louis confirms to Daniel Molloy that he and Lestat made love in that coffin.

** Late in Season Seven, Faith finds Spike awaiting her in this manner in Buffy's basement. Funny since there's no way he could have known [[AnythingThatMoves who was coming down the stairs.]]

** When Monica and Richard are trying out a FriendsWithBenefits arrangement she comes home from a tough day at work to find him waiting in her room wearing a nice suit with rose petals spread on the bed and an open bottle of wine. Monica tries to return the favor by setting up in his bedroom just in time to hear Richard arrive home with a blind date he'd been set up with by a friend. Luckily he spots Monica and is able to get rid of his date before things get awkward but the incident forces them to admit that the arrangement isn't working out and they need to go their separate ways.
** Rachel did it for Joshua at his parents' posh townhouse. While he went elsewhere to wash up, she undressed down to her nightie and presented herself on the couch --at which point Joshua's parents came in. She tried to pass it off as the latest European fashion and even went out to dinner with them (un)dressed like that.

* ''LightNovel/NoRin'': Hata meets with Minori to discuss something about Ringo, but she misinterprets his coming to her room as him finally making a move on her. She decorates her entire room for the occasion and continues to misread his actions until Kei walks in on them, disappointing the girl when she realizes this was far from what she thought would happen. And if that wasn't enough, Hata unintentionally twists the knife by stating that he wanted to talk to them both about something concerning Ringo. In response to that, Minori hides under her sheets as she tells Hata to go "die in a fire and rot in hell", confusing the boy, with Kei warning him that she'll eventually stab him one of these days.
* Happens due to a misunderstanding in ''Literature/SwordArtOnline''. Kirito and Asuna share a tender moment after they save each other from Kuradeel, who tried to murder them, and they confess their feelings for one another. After Kirito tells Asuna that he wants to spend the night with her, she takes it to mean it this way, so after dinner she turns the lights off and unequips her clothes, leaving herself in her underwear. Kirito awkwardly explains that [[ThatCameOutWrong he didn't mean it that way]], and Asuna becomes embarrassed and angry before punching him. The later scene all but states that they did go all the way in the end, though.
* Subverted in ''Literature/TrappedInADatingSimTheWorldOfOtomeGamesIsToughForMobs''. After he defeats the Black Knight and saves everyone, Leon heads for his room and finds Angelica and Olivia sleeping in his bed, both of them only in their underwear. [[TeamworkSeduction They were actually waiting for him]] but were so tired from the events that they fell asleep, [[ObliviousToLove and he doesn't catch the obvious hint]].

* ''LightNovel/AndYouThoughtThereIsNeverAGirlOnline'': In Episode 5, Hideki visits Ako's house and is about to enter her room (Ako's mother gave him the key a few minutes earlier). Ako frantically tells him not to enter yet, but he opens the door anyway, finding she's only wearing her undies. He immediately gets out and waits until she's "ready" so he enters again... only to find her ''completely naked'' and asking him to be gentle.
* ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero'':

* ''Series/CriminalMinds'': In "Fate," Ellen's boss Sarah lies on her bed in a nightgown, calling out that she's ready for her boyfriend to come in, then asks if he wants to do it in the kitchen when there's no reply. What happens next combines this with DeathBySex.

* ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'': While informing Grace of her duties as his retainer, Kyril notices her puckering up. When asked about this, Grace says she thought she has to "warm his bed". Kyril, the CelibateHero he is, rejects her offer and quickly resumes informing her of her duties.

** Subverted in ''Film/DieAnotherDay'' when a masseuse comes into James Bond's hotel room; pretending to feel her up, he frisks her and finds a gun, then reveals that he knew was being spied on by Chinese intelligence by smashing a two-way mirror. (Bond's gotten a bit more GenreSavvy since ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove''...)
*** If she went in there to [[HoneyPot seduce]] him, why'd she bring a gun? If she was going to kill him why have spies record it?

'''Saffron:''' And I've...made myself ready for you.\\

* ComicBook/KittyPryde in Creator/JossWhedon's ''Astonishing ComicBook/XMen'', recovering from Cassandra Nova's MindScrew and dealing with the potential EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, stepped out from behind a changing room curtain, completely naked in front of Peter Rasputin. "Whoof", indeed!
-->'''Kitty:''' Wait, not done with "whoof".

* In the ''ComicBook/RobinSeries'', Ariana Dzerchenko tried to take her relationship with Tim Drake to the next level with this. She doesn’t succeed (although her guardians are still scandalized when they see Tim and Ari kissing with her dressed in lingerie, although in an innocent context).
* ComicBook/MaryJaneWatson and ComicBook/BlackCat often do this after Franchise/SpiderMan defeats his enemies and [[VictorySex gets to it]].
* ''ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth'': When Diana comes home late shortly after moving in with ComicBook/SteveTrevor she discovers that he's gone through some effort to set up the house and himself for her. He starts second guessing himself, but she reassures him that his efforts are quite romantic.

She beckons for [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Pyro]] to come closer [[HoneyTrap so she can kill him with the pizza cutter hidden behind her back]], but [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Pyro]] simply waves back and wanders off. Bonnie gives Chica a "seriously, what the hell was that?" gesture, to which she can only shrug sheepishly in response.

* ''Film/ShotCaller'': At a house party organized by PEN1 gang members, Jacob briefly goes into the bathroom. When he comes out, a groupie is lying naked on the bed. He politely declines and tells her to put her clothes back on.

* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0752.html strip #752]]. That's [[GodivaHair quite a lot of hair]].

* In the ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' episode "[[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheSouthernRaiders The Southern Raiders]]", Zuko goes to see Sokka and finds Suki about to enter his tent; she acts flustered before leaving. When Zuko enters, Sokka is posing seductively in a lovenest of candles and roses, obviously having expected Suki. For added humor, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent we see Suki successfully sneak in]] after Zuko leaves. The next morning, Sokka is wearing a floral necklace, for no particular reason except to indicate that [[VisualPun he got lei'd]]. And, assuming that Suki gave it to him, that she's been [[HurricaneOfPuns de-flowered]].
