* The JackieChan film ''Mr. Nice Guy'' had a scene where Jackie was trying to avoid detection by henchmen, and accidentally copped a feel on MsFanservice while trying to get her to stay close to the wall.

* On HomeImprovement, while driving his attractive female mechanic home, Tim makes a hard stop at a stoplight and reaches out to stop her from going forward, grabbing the wrong area in the process. When she asks why, he says that since he has three kids, it's basically a reflex. Unfortunately for him, the Detroit area just got cameras installed to take pictures whenever somebody goes through a red light.

* The Gene Wilder version of ''Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory'', during the crowded room scene (paraphrased):

* ''Superbad'': Evan is having a conversation with Becca in a crowded school hallway. When someone bumps him from behind, his hand actually ''punches'' her in the boob. He's embarrassed, but she assures him it's no big deal.

* The Jackie Chan film ''Mr. Nice Guy'' had a scene where Jackie was trying to avoid detection by henchmen, and accidentally copped a feel on MsFanservice while trying to get her to stay close to the wall.

* ''MahouSenseiNegima!'' has [[CuteShotaroBoy Negi]] do this to Asuna ''a lot'' (as in the page image). It helps that most of the time it genuinely ''is'' accidental. Lucky bastard gets away with it scot-free most of the time, due to his age. Humorously, the one time he gets [[MegatonPunch socked for it]] is when he does it while magically aged-up.

** These days there are women-only cars on trains for rush hours, which have considerably alleviated the problem. Ofcourse now men are complaining about being stuffed like sardins in a can when women can enjoy relatively open, airy cars, due to the fact that men still form the majority of the workforce in Japan.

** There were even references to that in a 1989 Charles Bronson film called ''Kinjite: Forbidden Subjects'' and is used as a culture dissonance moment when a Japanese man who's been transferred to his company's Los Angeles office is riding the bus.

* ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'', of course. Though the focus is mainly Rei's creepy non-reaction.

* In the first chapter of ''Tasogare Otome x Amnesia'', Teiichi doesn't quite believe Yuuko is a ghost, so he reaches out to grasp her shoulder, reasoning that a ghost will be insubstantial. That's just when she turns to face him, though, so he gets a handful of '''quite''' substantial breast. Yuuko is totally unfazed by this. She '''is''' a ghost, however.

* NeilPatrickHarris (!) accidentally does this to Cobie Smulders in the HilariousOutakes for the Season 5 DVD of ''HowIMetYourMother''. Ironically, this happens just mere seconds after Barney accepts Robin's invitation to play video games naked.

* ''OuranHighSchoolHostClub'': Although Mori may only have picked her up by the armpits and was alerted by her lack of weight and soft body, it MIGHT have been this trope, going from Mori's change in expression.

* Happens to Futaba in ''FutabaKunChange'' when he is mistaken for a [[TheChikan Chikan]] on the train. HilarityEnsues.

* Fred Perry's {{fan service}} {{Ninja High School}} comic strip ''Minor Adjustments'', again. Mimi Masters awakens one morning to find herself blessed(?) with gigantic, gravity-defying {{Gag Boobs}}. As she goes with increasing irritation through her school day (she's not happy with them, although others are) the school rich creep Lendo approaches her to find out if they are real, or due to surgical intervention. To find out, he promptly grabs and honks them both firmly (with an understandable huge grin on his face...). Mimi is not best pleased, and promptly zaps him with one of her magical bolts before storming off...
* In both the anime and manga version of Ladies vs. Butlers, Akiharu is confronted by Selnia who is convinced from his appearance that he is up to no good. When he decides to ignore her she takes a swing at him, both of them trip and he ends up with his hands on one of her breasts. It wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't so stunned that he was still touching her when she recovered her wits.
* Happens a couple time by Gourry to Lina in ''TheSlayers''. Once when they are laying in a field-Gourry falls asleep and rolls over, his hand landing on Lina-and then in the second season where [[TokenEvilTeammate Xellos]] grabs Gourry's hand and makes him grab Lina to test a theory. Naturally, pain is involved both times.
* In FairyTail, during a fight with Lluvia, Gray [[AnIcePerson freezes her in ice]] and realizes a second too late that his hand was latched onto her breast when he froze her. Lluvia is embarrassed and [[DistractedByTheSexy delighted]]; Gray is equally embarrassed and [[ObliviousToLove utterly baffled by her reaction]].
* Although [[OuranHighSchoolHostClub Mori]] may only have picked her up by the armpits and was alerted by her lack of weight and soft body, it MIGHT have been this trope, going from Mori's change in expression.

* ''[[StarTrekXI Star Trek]]'' (2009). Pre-cadet Kirk during a barfight stumbles "onto" Uhura, much to her annoyance. Kirk puts on his trademark smirk, which Uhura promptly wipes off his face with a sock to the jaw.

* MeMyselfAndIrene has Hank making a very transparent attempt at this.

* In the book ''Don't Call Me Ishmael!'', the titular character is participating in a debate. He's up against the team his crush, Kelly, is on. He faints from the pressure and ends up grabbing Kelly's breast. Of course, he doesn't find out he did it until later and his friends tease him to no end about it. Kelly forgives him, however.

* Similar idea: in ''[[{{Discworld}} Hogfather]]'', the newly-created [[ButtMonkey Oh God of Hangovers]] joins Susan on the horse Binky, and innocently puts his hands around her at an inappropriate height. As he's only existed for a few hours, she doesn't smack him for his ignorance, just corrects his position very firmly.
* In the ''[[EllisPeters Brother Cadfael]]'' mystery ''One Corpse Too Many'' a wounded protagonist gives the "boy" nursing him a playful push in the chest and gets a shock. He also gets a clout on the ear.

* [[BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy]] turns invisible. Xander reaches out to find Buffy. His hands are at chest level. He quickly ascertains that Buffy's clothes are invisible too as he hurriedly explains to Anya.
* In the ''{{House}}'' episode "Let Them Eat Cake", House begins to grope Cuddy in the middle of a serious conversation:

* [[FawltyTowers Basil Fawlty]] once mistook a guest's breast for a light switch as he was trying to turn on the light from the other side of the door. His hand just happened to have paint on it as well, leaving a handprint on the guest's top for Sibyl to see moments later and draw the obvious conclusion.

* The BennyHill Show. REPEATEDLY.

* Done for only fanservice purposes in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H73qFYp0jI8 an ending]] to ''{{Dead or Alive}} 4'', since [[MsFanservice the girls are only there for fanservice anyway]].
** Notice, though, that instead of merely slapping him, Lei-Fang probably killed the guy who did it. And then the other passengers applaud her for that.
*** He fell into water. By the genre expectations of both DeadOrAlive, and of comedy (this was clearly a comedic scene), he's fine.

** Not the much of a stretch - he was grabbing her off the ground from behind while on horseback, so that's more than likely what he was apologizing for.

* In one of the StreetFighter comics, Rainbow Mika finally challenges Zangief to a wrestling match. Zangief, who has been pestered by Mika for days, decides to end it quickly with a Banishing Flat. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny He ends up with a handful of Rainbow Rear End.]]

* Ethan did this to Lilah a lot in the early ''CtrlAltDel'' comics.

'''Erika''': There's nothing... \\
'''Largo''': ''(throws his hand back to shush her)'' SHHH!!!\\

'''Largo''': Wow. Those are a lot softer than I thought they'd be.
---> '''Yanagisawa''': My God, what was [[MegatonPunch that??]]\\
'''Piro''': It kinda sounded like a truck running into the building.

* It's apparently a major problem in Japan, due to overcrowding on public transportation. Numerous amateur porn vids feature men [[TheChikan intentionally fondling, groping, and outright molesting innocent women]], and then attempting to play it off as an "accident." A study concluded that at least '''half''' of all the women in Tokyo have been victim to this phenomenon.

** Notice, though, that instead of merely slapping him, Lei-Fang probably killed the guy who did it. And then the other passengers applaud her for that. SoYeah.

* Largo [[http://www.megatokyo.com/strip/544 accidentally does this]] to Erika in ''Megatokyo''.
