Suggestive Collision

A normal day for Rito.

"How did we get into this position from the way we bumped into each other? It seems the laws of physics don't apply to you anymore."

— Golden Darkness, To Love Ru

When two characters fall in close proximity and wind up in a sexually suggestive position. The guy finds himself in Marshmallow Hell, or the girl lands sitting on his face. It could even result in an Accidental Kiss. The lighter versions will just end with the guy copping a feel.

Needless to say, this trope is particularly likely to affect the Accidental Pervert.

Regardless of the circumstances, nine and a half times out of ten the girl will act like it was deliberate — usually, that means screaming "Pervert!" and slapping him. On the other hand, she might tease him for it, welcome the advance or remark on his "boldness". It mostly depends on what kind of girl she is.

If someone walks in on them, Not What It Looks Like is all but inevitable. Often leads to a Please Get Off Me.

A staple of Harem Anime. May overlap with Crash-Into Hello if this is the first time the characters meet. Thanks for the Mammary and Funbag Airbag are Sub Tropes. Not to be confused with unintentional occurrences of awkward positions, as caused by Ragdoll Physics in video games. Compare Grossout Fakeout.

Truth in Television to an extent. When someone takes a tumble, their first basic instinct (and usually the correct one) is to shift their body or limbs towards the softest or most stable object they can reach. And as it happens, nearby people can very commonly fit the bill for "softest or most stable". The exact suggestiveness of their prone positions is more of a coin flip than modern anime would have you believe, but as modesty takes a back seat to impending pain, there is definitely a chance of an interesting aftermath.

Compare Clingy Sleepers.

The more serious and romantic Sister Trope is Literally Falling in Love.

Examples:

Anime & Manga

• One chapter of Ayakashi Triangle begins with Yayo tripping into Matsuri, causing her to grabs his butt and looks up his skirt. Since Yayo had rather shamelessly grabbed Matsuri's breasts the previous chapter, she can't convince him it was an accident, and spends the chapter trying to make up with him. Matsuri discovers that Yayo was possessed by a minor ayakashi, causing her to trip constantly, which almost sends her face-first down a flight of steps.
• Code Geass:
  • Kallen falls over Lelouch in a suggestive position, lampshading their uncertain relationship.
  • Suzaku ends up falling on top of Shirley. However, in this case, it is treated as a total accident by both parties, there is no Ship Tease involved, and nobody walks in to find them in this position, so its only relevance for their respective characters is, perhaps, that it emphasizes that they are simply good enough (platonic) friends for it not to be a problem.
• Cross Ange: Tusk repeatedly falls face-first into Ange's crotch, resulting in Ange calling him a pervert. And once reversed when Ange fell into Tusk's crotch.
• Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker features one of these collisions between Galyan and Cassandra as they flee from the Seekers while chained together. Galyan earns a smack when he jokes about it.
• Fairy Tail: Often happens to Natsu and Lucy:
  • In the Phantom Lord arc, she jumps off a building to escape from Jose Porla, confident that Natsu will catch her. She ends up with shoving her bust into Natsu's face upon landing, though she isn't too bothered by it considering the current situation.
  • In the Grand Magic Games arc, during the attack of the seven dragons from the past one of them strips Lucy naked and she later ends up flying through the air and colliding with Natsu.

Shortly after there's a Did They or Didn't They? scene as Batou walks off with his arm around her.
• Giant Ojou-sama. Despite being a 9 year old Child Prodigy, Nakano Giraffe is a magnet for this sort of thing, with his introductory chapter ending with him under a gigantified Madoka's butt. Thanks to his young age and genuine innocence in these incidents, the girls are quick to forgive him and brush it off instead of deliver the usual sort of retaliation suffered by the typical Accidental Pervert.
• In the episode which introduces Priscilla in GUN×SWORD, she pulls Van out of the way of a collision with a rolling object, only to end up sitting on him in a very sexual looking position.

• I Want Your Mother To Be With Me!: Asahi's pet beetle startles Yuzuki and she trips, falling butt-first into Ryo's face. It's quite a case of Mood Whiplash, since the rest of the chapter is a serious story about kids learning that Death Is a Sad Thing.
• Happens in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS, the first time Erio Mondial and Caro Ru Lushe meet each other. Caro doesn't even seem to notice that she fell onto Erio boobs-first, perhaps out of gratitude for him catching her at all (she just tripped down a staircase).

• Shimoneta has Tanukichi falling right on top of Anna Nishikomiya, the Student Council President and one of the leaders of the Moral Guardians trying to eradicate "dirty things", and giving her an Accidental Kiss.

  • It eventually gets to the point that there are two chapters dedicated to the other characters trying to figure out why it happens so often and curing it. They first attributed it to "Cataplectic Indecency Syndrome" (aka. Rito tries so hard to be a gentlemen despite being surrounded by girls that his base urges started to manifest subconsciously), but after the inevitable happens^note  that is, the attempt ends with him accidentally groping the woman who was trying to cure him after dumping a clothes-dissolving acid on her, despite wearing a pair of gloves created specifically to prevent that sort of thing from happening they decide that it's an incurable supernatural phenomenon.

Victor: Sorry! I'm sorry!
Clover: I hope for your sake that's a pencil! A simple "hello" would have done fine, y'know!

  The Network does not know what he is talking about. Misaka-15293 points out that he may be feeling bad about hurting my chest with his face. That is evidence that he is thoughtful. "'I do not think you have any reason to apologise,' Misaka says, her body aching,' I say, hurting all over no matter what my mean sisters might say about me complaining. Misaka-10032 prompts me to apologise to him, and I consider it a sensible thing to do. "'I wish to apologise if my chest hurt your face', Misaka says," I said. "'My ribcage is optimised for protecting my organs, not for being comfortable to rest on,' Misaka adds, massaging the site of injury and deciding that she may have a bruise," I add. Yes. I think I will have a bruise there. I will monitor its development and schedule an appointment with my assigned healthcare professional if there are signs of further injury.

All accidents are highly embarrassing to him.
• A mild example occurs in the Oak's Summer Camp Gaiden sidestory of Pokémon Reset Bloodlines.

• In The Proposal, Margaret makes a nude run for the wardrobe from the shower. Andrew is also naked, getting ready to take a shower of his own. Neither is looking and they walk into each other at a fast pace. He ends up on top for her:

  • Played for laughs in "How Queer Everything Is Today". Kate stops a runaway subway car with her cable hook but it breaks and would have taken her head off but for a Diving Save by handsome GCPD officer Slam Bradley. Their Suggestive Collision leads to widespread Shipping to Kate's annoyance. In the climatic scene it's Kate who does the Diving Save to rescue Bradley from a bomb blast.

  • Buffy falls on top of Spike at the end of his "Rest in Peace" song in "Once More, With Feeling"; given Buffy's reluctance to acknowledge the UST between them, she responds by fleeing. In the next episode, Buffy states that she'll never touch Spike again, only to immediately throw herself on top of him to save Spike from a hurled wooden stake.
  • In Season 7 Buffy is using Spike for a demonstration on how to fight a vampire and she ends up on top of him again. Noting the obvious UST between these supposed Just Friends, the Potentials ask if they're supposed to be making out with the vampires they fight.
  • At the start of Season 3, Xander and Cordelia are eager to see each other again, but quickly revert to their usual squabbling. That night a vampire leaps onto Xander, knocking him to the ground. Upon seeing Xander in distress, Cordelia's scorn immediately turns to concern, and she dogpiles on the vampire from behind, so the vamp is sandwiched between Xander on the bottom and Cordelia on the top. With Cordelia's weight on top of him, the vampire can't hold back Xander's stake any longer, and he explodes into ashes. Cordelia falls down on top of Xander. The two of them look at each other for an instant, then grab each other and start kissing passionately with appropriate cheesy music.
• The Community episode "Basic Rocket Science" does this twice as the rocket simulator swerves around: first played straight with Britta colliding into Troy, then parodied with Pierce colliding into Jeff.
• Cowboy Bebop. During a Whole Episode Flashback of how Spike fell in love with Julia, the latter is showing Spike how to dance. However it's a line dance rather than a Dance of Romance, until someone accidently knocks Julia into Spike's arms. They quickly seperate given that Julia is dating Spike's best friend at the time.
• The Defenders. Luke Cage throws himself on Jessica Jones to shield her with his bulletproof body. As they are ex-lovers, Jessica comments that his lying on top of her feels rather familiar.
• Doctor Who:
  • "The Time of Angels": This happens to the Eleventh Doctor and River Song when he pulls her onto the TARDIS.
  • Also happens with the Doctor and Clara in "The Snowmen". Clara gets the bustle of her Pimped-Out Dress caught climbing out the window while escaping from the Monster of the Week, gets yanked out by the Doctor and ends up falling on top of him. His immediate suggestion that she Take Off Your Clothes in no way helps lower the UST.
  • "The Halloween Apocalypse" has the falling-on-a-mattress-together version, with the Thirteenth Doctor and Yasmin Khan.
• Farscape
  • Happens often enough with John Crichton and Aeryn Sun that they remark on it in the DVD commentary. In "The Flax", John lands on top of Aeryn after the ship has a collision, prompting her to joke: "Comfortable? Can I get you a pillow?"
  • In "PK Tech Girl", Sebacean technician Gilina is thrown backwards into John Crichton, and then comments that humans and Sebaceans really are similar all the way around.
  • At the end of "Picture if You Will" when D'Argo pulls Chiana out of Maldis's illusion they fall over and land with Chiana lying on top of D'Argo. It's one of several Ship Tease moments they had around this time before finally hooking up a few episodes later.
• Averted on Firefly when Kaylee pushes Wash out of the way of gunfire and lands on top of him. He's married, she's interested in someone else, and there is no full body shot emphasizing the fact that she's lying on top of him - merely shocked facial expressions which are pretty clearly about the gunfire, not their position.
• Friends: Rachel gets distracted while helping Monica learn to rollerskate which means Monica crashes into her. They end up on the ground, Rachel lying flat with Monica on top of her and both of them moaning. At that moment, Joey walks out of Central Perk and lets out a delighted "Oh my".
• Get Smart. Maxwell Smart is doing an Emergency Impersonation of the King of Coronia. On being introduced to 'his' betrothed the Princess Marta, he trips and falls down the throne steps on top of her. He then shamelessly uses the opportunity to kiss the princess, who is not exactly bothered by all this.
• Lucifer. When Chloe pulls her out of the way of gunfire and lands on top of her, Maze looks down at their chests pressing together, grins, and tells Chloe she understands why Lucifer likes her.
• Merlin:
  • Gwen and Arthur end up this way at the start of season two.
  • A lot later in the show, Percival finds himself on top of Gwaine.
• Personal Taste. While Jin Ho and Gae In are on the bus together, the vehicle makes an unexpected brake. Gae In falls and Jin Ho puts his hands out to support her, only for his hands to end up on her butt. Gae In’s following anger isn’t helped by the fact that she thinks Jin Ho was ogling her.
• Mocked in an early episode of Scrubs when JD is running down the hallway to answer a page and runs into Laverne, which results in this:
  Laverne: [lying motionless underneath him] Are you planning on making this worth my while?
  JD: [removes his head from her bosom and scurries off]
• Stargate SG-1:
  • In season 6 episode "Smoke & Mirrors", after they barely escape from a bomb, Agent Barret falls atop Major Carter in an awkward position. To protect her, or so he says.
  • Also happens in season 10 episode "Uninvited", where Teal'c falls atop Vala to protect her from a grenade he threw at a monster. Vala jokes that she's flattered but they don't have the time.
• Star Trek: The Original Series. In "Dagger of the Mind", Captain Kirk is embarrassed to realise the pretty officer beaming down with him is someone he had a one-night stand with after a staff Christmas party. He makes a point of keeping his distance, until they're startled by the sudden drop of a high-speed elevator and instinctively Security Cling.
• Star Trek: Voyager:
  • Tom Paris has a Love Epiphany regarding Kes when she's thrown into his arms during a shuttle training exercise.
  • Harry Kim is assigned to work in a cramped Jeffries tube with their latest crewmember, the Future Spandex-wearing Seven of Nine. At one point Harry yanks Seven away from an exposed conduit, then realises he's got his hands all over the Ms. Fanservice of the Delta Quadrant. When he tries to ask her out on a date however, Seven shuts him down quickly by asking Do You Want to Copulate?.
• Star Trek: Enterprise invokes the Marshmallow Hell variant with Capt. Archer and T'Pol in "Shadows of P'Jem". Many Trekkies loudly condemned the scene, while the rest silently wished they were Scott Bakula. (While others got the joke that the scene was in part a lampshading of the infamous industrial-strength brassieres many female cast members on Trek had to wear under their costumes.)
• Also happens in a Torchwood flashback, between Jack and Ianto.

Pro Wrestling

• The edition of TNA iMPACT in which Talia Madison and Angel Williams were renamed after porn stars was also the edition they lost to ODB in a three-way dance in which the winning fall came from ODB performing a Lou Thesz press that saw her breasts go into one of their faces.

Video Games

• In Devil Survivor 2, the first time you use the Terminal, you have a minor Teleporter Accident and wind up several feet in the air. The player character lands first and falls flat, while Makoto and Otome end up sitting on his face and hips. Makoto falls into the usual Accidental Pervert reaction mode, before realizing he clearly didn't do that on purpose, while Otome just laughs it off.
• At one point in Final Fantasy VII Remake, Cloud and Tifa have to jump off a train. They do, and proceed to land on top of each other in a decidedly sensual position. After an intensely awkward Beat as they realize what's happened, they quickly get up.
• In The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel, after all the main characters fall down a trap door, Rean ends up on his back, with Alisa on top of him, his face in her boobs. Rean gets slapped of course. It happens again in Cold Steel III with Kurt Vander and Juna Crawford after falling down another trap door. Rean, who is now an instructor and is Older and Wiser, actually managed to warn his students to get their balance although he grimaces at the Call-Back after seeing both Juna and Kurt's position.
• Happens twice in Little Busters!, both involving Thanks for the Mammary. The first time is in Mio's route when she tries to run away in shock at stumbling upon what seems to be a yaoi scene she was 'invited to join', with Riki accidentally knocking her over in his haste to catch up and accidentally falling on her chest. The second time involves Haruka and is much smaller, with no CG, and just involves Riki slipping on a magazine in her room and falling onto her. Haruka is much more receptive than Mio, though to be fair they were already dating by that point.
• Mass Effect: Andromeda: Peebee's Establishing Character Moment has her tackling into Ryder to stop them from activating a dangerous machine... and promptly landing on them in such a way that it looks she's riding their crotch. The shit-eating grin on her face afterwards indicates she knows exactly how it looked.
• My Girlfriend Is the President: One of Yukino's first CGs has Junichirou and her falling over in such a way that Junichirou's face is right by her crotch.
• In the James Bond game NightFire, Bond and the current Bond Girl fall out of a damaged ski lift and Bond lands on top. When the girl asks why he always lands on top, Bond replies, "Lower center of gravity?"
• At the beginning of Prince of Persia (2008), Elika falls on top of the Prince while fleeing her father's guards.
• Happens offscreen in Resident Evil 6 when Jake and Sherry jump into a dumpster to hide from the Ustanak. We only see the outside of the dumpster, but from the whispered bickering we hear, Jake's hand(s) ended up somewhere, and his counter-accusation is that she's the one rubbing up on him.
• Riviera: The Promised Land, Cierra's first meeting with Ein is by landing on his face. If you choose a certain choice afterward, every other girl agrees that Ein is a pervert and lose some love points.
• Skies of Arcadia: Legends: Seen during the escape from Dangral Island, when Vyse leaps from the monorail, just as it collapses from beneath him, and lands on top of Aika. They not only remain in said position, but Aika's gaze is also set squarely on Vyse the entire time, and she doesn't object.
• Two of Pyrrha's throws result in this in Soul Calibur V. One of her throws involve her pulling in her opponent and losing her balance, resulting in not only her opponent falling onto her sword but also falling face first into her chest. A second throw involves her jumping butt first onto her opponent, ending with her butt on their face.
• Happens for no particularly good reason between Jin and Asuka in the latter's ending for the fifth Tekken game. Even odder because the two characters are cousins (though they probably do not know it).

Webcomics

• The Beginning After the End: In an original scene, Tessia ends up pinning Arthur to the ground after he playfully teases her about how they first met. It is not until her grandfather Virion walks in on them that she realizes that she is straddling Arthur in a rather compromising position, which causes her to jump off him in embarrassment when it gets pointed out.
• Dumbing of Age: Ethan pushes Danny out of the way of a roller-blading Carla, and ends up on top of him. Danny has a sudden realization as a result.

• The Order of the Stick: Haley tackles Elan from above to stop him from touching a magical gate — inadvertently putting the two of them in a suggestive position.
• Outsider: Minor version. Alex is sitting down, while Beryl is standing nearby showing him something. When the shuttle has to accelerate unexpectedly, Beryl falls into Alex's lap, and proceeds to stay there for the rest of the chapter.

• In Batman: The Animated Series several times:
  • Between Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon in "Batgirl's Return".
  • Between Batman and Catwoman in "Cult of the Cat"
  • Between Creeper and Harley Quinn in "Beware the Creeper", albeit this last one not exactly for Harley's amusement.
• Happens between Captain Simian and Shao Lin in an episode of Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys, make even worst because they get tangled in the latter's tail.

Troy attempts to jump in front of Pierre in order to defend them, and Benson pushes him out of the way, but he accidentally falls on top of Troy, and they both blush.
• This happens a couple of times to the main characters in Miraculous Ladybug, in both their superhero and civilian identities (it's a Mutual Masquerade with a case of Loves My Alter Ego thrown in for good measure.)
  Ladybug: Did I just hear you purr?
  Cat Noir: Uh, no way...
• In Sonic Boom episode, "Chili Dog Day Afternoon", Sonic and Amy end up in a very awkward pose against a tree
• In Steven Universe, Peridot falls and ends up kneeling on top of Amethyst's lap. While the latter is too dumbfounded to properly react, the former is very flustered.
• In a particularly UST-filled episode of Teen Titans, Robin and Starfire fall down into a cave where Robin lands on top. We don't get to see their reactions since there's an immediate scene change.
