Since the previous wick check was kind of small, I've decided to make an additional one (pardon the Example Indentation violation):

    Seems like a correct entry, but with Hollywood Law: 5 
  • Recap.Archer S 2 E 1 Swiss Miss:
    • The Jailbait Wait: Archer alludes to this with Anka, telling her to call him when she's eighteen. The AOC in Switzerland is 16
  • Girl Meets World:
    • In the same episode, the college girls telling Maya that her 3 years age difference with Josh won't matter when she gets to college and they are 18 and 21 respectively, which disturbingly comes off as them encouraging The Jailbait Wait.
    • In "Girl Meets Game Night," Maya tells Josh she understands he's too old for her, but she's "in it for the long game." Which implies some sort of weird, inverted Jail Bait Wait. Both of which seem to be set in New York, where the AOC is 17
  • My Babysitter's a Vampire:
    • The Jailbait Wait: Implied, and a rare male example (although since the age of consent in Canada is sixteen, it's only two years). Come season three, when Ethan turns sixteen... Sounds like the closed-in-age exemption may apply
  • Everyone Has Standards:
    • Family Guy:
      • While Glenn Quagmire does a lot of perverted things, there are some lines he won't cross, like sleeping with Meg when she's desperate for affection (and underage). Of course, once she's 18, she's fair game. Quagmire also doesn't like when a woman is attacked, especially when he learns his sister, Brenda, was being abused. He goes so far as killing Jeffery Fecalman, Brenda's abusive boyfriend, for this. The AOC in Rhode Island, the supposed setting, is 16
  • 25th Hour
    • Jail Bait/Jail Bait Wait: Mentioned by Frank and Jacob when Jacob mentions that he’s attracted to one of his students. Frank tells him that he only needs to wait seven months. The age of consent in New York is 17

    Correct use: 5 
  • YMMV.Broadchurch
    • Values Dissonance: The age of consent in Britain is 16, which can cause certain scenes to seem strange to people who live in areas where it is 18:
      • Jack makes a point to note that had he waited a few weeks for his 15-year-old lover's birthday, their romance would have been perfectly legal. In many places, however, the girl was more than two years too young to be having sex with any adult, even ignoring the fact that he was 40.
      • The Latimers make a big deal about the fact that their 15-year-old daughter is dating a 17-year-old. This seems weird to them because the boy is an adult. In many places, both are still seen as minors, so it doesn't seem like such a big deal.
      • The same happens in reverse in countries where the age is 15 or lower (for example, most of mainland Europe).
  • TruthInTelevision.J To L
    • The Jailbait Wait: Depending on the state, you may not even have to wait. Some go as low as 14. Some have "Romeo and Juliet" clauses allowing a young adult to go ahead with an older teen. But yes, people have been known to do this.
  • Langt fra Las Vegas:
    • The Jailbait Wait: Episode 2 is essentially about this. Casper meets Kim's niece who is 14 years old but turns 15 years old the next Friday. His flirting with her is so obvious that it is like being hit by a hammer. However, he waits to she turns 15 before he wants to have sex with her. He doesn't succeed.
  • Soap
    • Jail Bait Wait: Billy and his teacher, Leslie, may date while he is still a minor, but don't actually sleep together until his 18th birthday. From what I know, Connecticut has stricter rules for teacher-and-student intercourse than from regular sex, where the AOC is 16
  • Trivia.The Reader
    • Jail Bait Wait: A meta example. David Kross, who played the younger Michael, was seventeen during filming. They waited until after he had turned eighteen to film the sex scenes.

    Seems like a fictional universe; so possibly misuse: 8 

    Not sure whether it's about sex or not: 8 
  • Characters.Degrassi Graduating Class Of Season 11:
    • The Jailbait Wait: After she tells Dr. Chris that she's really 17, she tries to continue the relationship with him by assuring him that she'll be 18 soon. However, Dr. Chris couldn't deal with her age and initial lie and lets her know he was never serious about her. May also be Hollywood Law, since Degrass is a Canadian show and the AOC in Canada is 16
  • Recap.Stargate SG 1 S 9 E 10 The Fourth Horseman Part 1
    • The Jailbait Wait: Orlin tells Carter that his feelings for her haven't changed, and while he understands the taboo that would prevent them having a relationship while he's in a much younger body, he's hopeful they can pick things up where they left off in a few years. Carter looks faintly disturbed by the whole discussion. Also doesn't sound like a legal obligation
  • Tuck Everlasting
    • The Jailbait Wait: Jesse gave Winnie some of the water, intending for her to use it when she was of marriageable age. She gave the water to a toad instead. Also doesn't sound like a legal obligation
  • YMMV.Bobs Burgers
    Gene: "I bet when you reconnect in your thirties you guys will get married."
  • Informed Wrongness
    • In Treading Ground, protagonist Nate was cast as a repressed asshole by his and Rose's circle of friends for not giving in to Rose's advances, up to and including Rose stripping in front of him. Somehow lost in all of this is that Rose was 17 and Nate was in his 20s. And the fact that Rose agreed to wait until she was 18 before they pursued anything more than Just Friends (an agreement they came to when she was 16). It was heavily implied early on that Nate came up with that pact hoping Rose would get tired of waiting and move on to someone closer to her age, but that line of thought seemed to have been dropped by the end. Possible intentional Moral Dissonance at work.
      • It was brought up in-story that the age of consent in their state (South Carolina) is 16, and that neither Rose nor Nate - possibly intentionally on his part - were aware of this. Which still leaves the ridiculous idea that Nate was a jerk for not wanting to sleep with a teenager (even one as willing as Rose).
      • Even if she was his age, there would still be nothing at all wrong with the refusal. As noted also Hollywood Law
  • YMMV.Little House On The Prairie
    • Values Dissonance: Laura's youth at the beginning of her and Almanzo's courtship wasn't at all unusual in the 1880's (she was 15 and he 25, which would garner a visit from Chris Hansen in today's world, but back then many, many women were married before the age of 20; if you were still single at 25 odds are people called you a spinster). Fridge Logic can hit that with a potential case of Surprise Creepy, though, when you consider he first met her when she was thirteen, and wonder just how much of a conscious Jail Bait Wait went on there. Laura failed her spot check when he first started courting her, but Ma definitely wasn't happy about it, precisely because Laura was only fifteen. Fortunately for Almanzo, Pa didn't seem to have any problem with it, but read from an adult 21st century perspective (especially a parental perspective), it can seem unintentionally creepy.
  • Characters.Mobile Suit Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans Civilians And Other Organizations
    • Jail Bait Wait: Engaged to McGillis, but they have to wait for several years before she's legally old enough. People talk behind their backs about how McGillis is robbing the cradle. Takes an even more disturbing twist when McGillis secures her loyalty by implying he'll be able to skip the wait once his plans come to fruition.
  • Headscratchers.Real Genius
    • What age is Mitch when Sherry Nugil vamps on him? Her dialogue states that she waited three years for him to be legal, and the age of consent in California is 18. Since he comes to "Pacific Tech" at 15, that means that one of several things must be the case:

    Clearly not about a wait: 4 
  • ShipTease.Literature:
  • Temeraire: Yet another small portion of the fanbase ships Laurence/Emily Roland, Jane Roland's daughter - despite neither character showing any affection of a romantic nature towards each other [as of Crucible of Gold]; Laurence's and Emily's age differences (Lawrence is in his 30's, while Emily is still a preteen); the fact that Lawrence slept with, and even proposed to, her mother, and the ship being just a little bit creepy. Might also have "fictional universe" issues
  • YMMV.ABBA
    • "Does Your Mother Know" is about trying to invoke the Jailbait Wait, in the sense that a legal minor is all but throwing themselves at the singer. Very much not kid-friendly.
  • SoCalization
  • Headscratchers.Victorious
    • Well Jade does show jealous tendencies toward any girl who comes anywhere near Beck. And considering the number of girls constantly fawning over Beck (The group of girls who gathered to watch him fix Robbie's car, the director's assistant from "The Wood," the female paramedic who asked if he was in college, etc...) her jealously seems pretty justified. And while Beck doesn't show any desire to actually cheat on Jade, he does seem to like the attention. Also not terribly clear if it's about sex or not

    Fictional universe: Almost certainly wrong: 8 

    Not about sex at all: 2 

    Not about a legal obligation: 5 

    Zero Context Example: 4 

    Phantom wick: 1 

There is currently nothing in the description that allows for marriage to be considered for this trope, nor as a proxy for an AOC.
