Two character engage in a hug that, given the context, goes on a little too long for comfort. Generally, it happens when one of the participants is not ready to let go and the audience can see the other individual trying to pull away. It might go all the way to the extreme of a {{Glomp}}, one person isn't even a part of the hug.
Sometimes this is PlayedForLaughs, such as the HeterosexualLifePartners giving each other longer (and more emotional) hugs than a respective LoveInterest. It might also be played for drama, where someone is about to go on a HeroicSacrifice (or otherwise something dangerous) and their friend/love interest doesn't want to let go.
This doesn't account for general "comforting" or CooldownHug type situations. This kind of hug should be awkward for either the characters or the audience.

* In ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', J.D. and Turk tend to give some exceptionally long hugs, one particular big one happening after they get ridiculed at a hospital party for their {{Heterosexual Life Partner|s}} behavior. After half-an-episode of trying to restrain their behavior, they give in and have a long BearHug complete with a reprise of "[[CallBack Guy Love]]." In the GrandFinale as J.D. is about to leave the hospital and on his last day, Turk gives him another long hug which prompts Carla and Elliot to remark on it. They decide to experiment to see what the appeal was, which makes the guys [[HeadTiltinglyKinky pause with shock]] and give advice on [[GirlOnGirlIsHot how to hug better]].
* ''Series/TheXFiles'', "Three Words": Frohike, one of the Lone Gunmen trio, is really excited to see Mulder for the first time since Mulder's unprecedented [[BackFromTheDead return from the dead]]. Frokihe embraces Mulder tightly around the waist. Mulder hugs him back, but it gets awkward.
-->'''Frohike''': You know, it's really not fair. You've been dead for six months and you still look better than me. But not by much.
'''Mulder''': Melvin, I'd be a whole lot happier to see you if you'd just take your hands off my ass.
'''Frohike''': Sorry. ''[gets embarrassed and lets him go]''

* ''VideoGame/CommunityCollegeHero'': PlayedForDrama if you raise your {{Relationship Value|s}} with Origami high enough and then declare that she's [[FamilyOfChoice the little sister you never had]] -- she sheds a SingleTear and gives you a long, long hug.

* '' WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'': In the episode, "The Robot," Bobert does this twice. First, he does this after Gumball and Darwin try to teach him to be a real boy. The second is after Bobert is brought back to normal after attempting to KillAndReplace Gumball.
-->'''Gumball:''' This is even longer than last time.
* ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'': When [[spoiler:Madam Foster steals tickets to Europe from Mac]], she does it by hugging him tightly for a good few seconds. Mac is honestly very weirded out by it and quickly leaves when Madam Foster lets go.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode "Hell Is Other Robots", Bender, who has undergone a personality reversal after a religious conversion, hugs Fry for way too long, making him very uncomfortable.
* A non-comedic example in ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'', when Scorpia agrees to help Glimmer and gives her a hug. Glimmer clings on so tight and for so long, even Scorpia, a noted {{Cuddlebug}} herself, comments on it. After spending most of Season Four struggling with her [[spoiler:her mother's death and her newfound status as queen]], and inadvertently [[LonelyAtTheTop pushing her friends away]] with her behavior in the process, the hug (from a woman who [[HeelFaceTurn used to be her enemy]], no less) is the first moment of physical affection and support she's had in quite awhile.
* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseFuture'': When Lars is getting ready to [[CantStayNormal go back to space]], CuddleBug Steven gives him a ManHug that stretches out far longer than Lars expected, and that keeps going as the scene changes.
-->'''Lars:''' ...Are you gonna let me go anytime soon?
'''Steven:''' Just a couple more minutes.
