Go To

Basic Trope: A kiss that leaves the kissee unresponsive and uncomprehending to their surroundings.

  • Straight: Alice is dazed and frozen after Bob kisses her.
  • Exaggerated: Alice is left catatonic for 2 whole days after Bob kisses her.
  • Downplayed: Alice is briefly stunned after Bob kisses her. To her credit, she clears her throat and resumes what she's doing after the two part.
  • Justified:
    • Alice is programmed to freeze for exactly 180 seconds whenever her lips touch with another person's.
    • It was that good of a kiss.
  • Inverted: Alice is frozen in place, but starts moving again when Bob kisses her.
  • Subverted: ???
  • Double Subverted: ???
  • Parodied: ???
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted: Kissing scenes are not present.
  • Enforced: Alice wasn't meant to be frozen when kissed by Bob during a kissing scene, but the writers were ordered to add a comedic effect to the scene, so they made Alice experience a kiss-induced shock.
  • Lampshaded: "Look Alice. I know you feel great when I kissed you, but are you just gonna stand there?"
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: A pickpocket steals Alice's wallet when she is dazed after being kissed by Bob.
  • Defied: ???
  • Discussed: "Everyone is talking about how funny Alice looks after getting kissed by Bob and standing there for an hour."
  • Conversed: "Why is this character standing there after being kissed?"
