* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'': A platonic male-on-male example occurs in "[[Recap/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteersS2E23HateCanal Hate Canal]]"; when [[TheBabyOfTheBunch Ma-Ti]] crumples to the ground from illness after being bitten by one of Skumm's mutated rats, Wheeler lifts him princess-style so that they can get him to the hospital.

The bridal carry obviously symbolizes that they're essentially married, as much as two men can be in 1910.

* ''LightNovel/KyoKaraMaoh''. There are a few times in which Yuri was carried and/or caught from falling a long distance like this. Probably because he's usually a male DamselInDistress when he's not in Maoh-mode. He carries Wolfram this way one time during that one episode in the snowstorm.

Which covers both "strength" part (it was [[Webcomic/EerieCuties already established]] that succubi use ThePowerOfLove [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/it_just_got_wronger in various ways]]) and [[spoiler:"clumsy [[http://www.dangerouslychloe.com/strips-dc/morning_already head-bonking]]" part]].

** This is Shulk, {{Nerd}}y and bookish, weedy little guy, who at the game's start would have had trouble picking up and carrying Fiora at all, let alone after

** And again in Season 2, but this time it's Kotetsu's habit instead of Barnaby albeit fewer. One of them is when he catches the injured Barnaby when the latter attempts to fight Lunatic in Episode 20.

* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'': In the second episode, a same-sex variation occurs when Lestat carries an injured Louis bridal-style up the stairs of what is now ''their'' home (the townhouse is owned by Lestat, but Louis becomes its second resident after Lestat transforms him into a vampire).

** ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', Mako does this for Korra after [[spoiler:she escapes from being held captive by Tarrlok and from almost being captured again by Amon]]. Done again later [[spoiler:in a frantic attempt to escape Amon after Korra gets [[DePower De-bended]] by him]].
*** This is a one-time occurrence and Korra usually is one [[EffortlessAmazonianLift lifting]] people around.
