9->''"Your armpits smell like daffodils."''
10-->-- '''Faye''' hugging Marten, ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent''
11
12Two people hug, then one of the two makes a comment, almost always about the other person, who will probably answer in an embarrassed way. The comment generally revolves around the hugged person's smell or some other awkward body feature.
13
14A possible ending joke to a LessonOfTheDaySpeech. Expect it from PlatonicLifePartners or, in a more caustic tone, from VitriolicBestBuds. If the comment is about the awkwardness of the hug itself, then it could involve HeterosexualLifePartners who have been expressing [[HomoeroticSubtext more than their usual mutual affection]]... especially if someone invokes OrAreYouJustHappyToSeeMe

21* An interesting one from ''Anime/Pokemon3'', a little girl's dreams/wishes are coming true because of a Pokémon (including bad stuff), and when the heroes finally face her and her fake Entei, said Entei is about to kill Ash's Charizard. But the girl calls off her Entei with a hug and says "I want things real again." That's in the English dub, anyway. In the original Japanese version, she hugs him and says "you smell of flowers."

25* In the graphic novel ''ComicBook/{{Persepolis}}'', Marjane hugs her grandmother before falling asleep next to her, then asks the older woman how she kept her breasts so firm over the years.
26* In Gerard Jones' ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica'', run, Nuklon plays one-on-one basketball with an alien as he tries to deal with his AmbiguouslyGay teammate and (he thought until recently) HeterosexualLifePartner Obsidian saying "I love you" and getting understandably annoyed when Nuklon tried to qualify this. Eventually he works out his frustration and returns to give Obsidian a ManHug.
27-->'''Nuklon:''' I'm sorry I was such a jerk, Todd. I just want to tell you I... I love you too, man.\
28'''Obsidian:''' You've touched me to the bottom of my heart, Albert. But next time you touch me, could you take a shower first?
29* In the ''ComicBook/GravityFallsLostLegends'' story "Face It", Pacifica hugs Dipper after he tells her not to worry about what her family thinks and reassures her that she's more than just a pretty face. She follows up by taking back (or at least tempering) an earlier insult about his head being big.
30-->'''Pacifica:''' Your head's not ''that'' big.\
31'''Dipper:''' Haha... Thanks.
