History Main / InstantSeduction

* In ''Film/LiarLiar'', this happens with a short-lived OfficeRomance. Having just witnessed Fletcher convince his client to go through with the divorce case, Fletcher's law firm boss, Miranda, was [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys so turned on]] by his [[AmoralAttorney lying skills]] that she immediately decides to hit on him. Miranda informs Fletcher that he will be promoted up to Partner at the law firm if he wins the case, which she then asks if he would like to [[DoubleEntendre make a partner right now]] while performing a NecktieLeash ready to kiss him. Before Fletcher has a chance to reject her, Miranda has already begun making-out with him, which Fletcher gives in to [[CoitusEnsues having sex with her]].

* "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11934753/6/Only-One-Year Only One Year]]": Within five minutes of meeting the uptight Elsa in a nightclub, Esmeralda invites her to the dance floor, initiates a sexy {{Mating Dance}} with her and makes out with her in front of the whole club. While this example does not escalate to sex, it's notable because nobody else had ever even made it this far with Elsa. Rapunzel, who has known Elsa to have never been drawn to boys or girls, and Elsa, who has incestual {{Single Target Sexuality}} feelings for her sister, are both surprised by how easily Esmeralda seduced her ([[GirlonGirlisHot In Rapunzel's case]] [[ShipperOnDeck pleasantly]]).

Even Elsa, who has incestual {{Single Target Sexuality}} feelings for her sister and is fairly uptight besides, is surprised by how easily Esmeralda seduced her.

* We actually get to see a conversation like this in ''Film/IronMan1'', while Tony Stark is still in his {{Jerkass}} phase, and it's about as believable as one would expect. A television reporter, who is ''skeptical'' of his good will, asks him some questions, he gives brief answers to her questions, asks her to sleep with him... and she does. Just like that. Though that is a GilliganCut. They might have skipped over the lines that actually did the work. Also being charming, handsome and embarrassingly wealthy tends to improve one's odds. And, of course, Pepper Potts is decidedly less than impressed with this reporter when she stumbles out of Stark's bed in the morning. She implies to the reporter very clearly that Stark's mainly good at reading women he can easily persuade to jump in the sack with him.
* Handsome Rob from the ''Film/TheItalianJob2003'' remake. In fairness, we don't actually hear Rob's conversation, or even all of it. Though he still is successful in acquiring Becky's uniform and her work van so that Stella can infiltrate Steve's house. Lampshaded by Lyle, who is watching the whole interaction from a distance:

* In the ''Webcomic/{{XKCD}}'' strip "[[http://xkcd.com/853/ Consecutive Vowels]]", a guy shows a girl a graph he made demonstrating that the more consecutive vowels you use in your words, the more sexually aroused your conversation partner will become. At first, she doesn't buy it. Then he utters the word "queueing", and she's immediately as thirsty as a camel.

%%* [[http://xkcd.com/853/ This]] ''Webcomic/{{XKCD}}'' comic is a rather good example.

* ''Literature/TheGame'': Almost a Meta example since the book is all about men trying to perfect the execution of this Trope. The process isn't only shown - it's dissected, analyzed and compared with similar processes.

See also: TakeOurWordForIt. Not to be confused with InstantSedation, which has nothing to do with this trope[[note]] [[SlippingAMickey Unless...]][[/note]].

* In ''Film/AboutTime'' Tim walks up to Mary (who doesn't know him at all), quotes pretty much her own words about KateMoss back to her, and she pretty much swoons and invites him up to her apartment.

* ''{{Casanova}}'' in the film of the same name. Obviously, TheCasanova doesn't have his reputation for squat. Doubly in this film because he's portrayed by Creator/HeathLedger.

* In an extra for ''Manga/{{Eyeshield 21}}'', it's revealed that it took Agon 5 minutes to pick up a college girl at the gym and get her to come with him (Agon himself is in 11th grade). Good-speed ''indeed''. He then subverts the trope by having the poor girl drive him to a football game instead.

* Famously averted in ''Film/TheGraduate''. Despite her good looks (and him being rather plain and heavily implied to be a virgin) Mrs. Robinson has to practically throw herself at Ben before he gets the idea, and then he runs off all scandalized. When he does agree to get a hotel room with her, he worries what his parents would think if they found out, is generally horribly nervous, and has to be talked into it again.
* In ''Film/QuantumOfSolace'', Bond and Agent Fields walk into a hotel room in Bolivia. Bond immediately throws his keys on the bed and walks into another room, while Fields stands around looking confused. Bond says a line about asking her to help him look for "stationery", and she scoffs at the transparent attempt. But it still works, seeing as how he's James Bond (and looks like Daniel Craig). Cut to sometime later, and Bond has already bedded her by the time Mathis comes along with a party invite.

* This is successful in-film, but fails spectacularly from a viewer standpoint, in ''Film/EveryWhichWayButLoose''. Apparently, the line "I've never met anyone who made me feel the way you do" was supposed to be accompanied by a complete change in the normally dorky sidekick's speech and body language, showing [[HiddenDepths his suave side]] to both his love interest and the audience. As played, it's arguably the most emotionally false scene in the entire movie, due to the actor's inability to pull off the change.
* Australian movie ''Film/TheWogBoy'' has main character Steve with a 100% fool proof pick up line. He teaches it to Stephen Curry's character and warns him to use it carefully, [[HilarityEnsues he doesn't]]. [[spoiler:In the end, the pick up line is "if you are what you eat, then by tomorrow, I'll be you."]]
* In ''Film/AboutTime'' Tim walks up to Mary (who doesn't know him at all), quotes pretty much her own words about KateMoss back to her, and she pretty much swoons and invites him up to her apartment.
* Happens twice in ''Film/{{Rush|2013}}'' when ChickMagnet James Hunt makes out with a nurse at the emergency room and an air stewardess on a plane.
* In ''Film/CabinFever'' Marcy decides on the spot that she wants to distract herself from the distressing crisis with some hot casual sex. She manages to talk the only available man into helping her out with that almost as quickly.
* In ''Film/LiarLiar'', this happens with a short-lived OfficeRomance. Having just witnessed Fletcher convince his client to go through with the divorce case, Fletcher's law firm boss, Miranda, was [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys so turned on]] by his [[AmoralAttorney lying skills]] that she immediately decides to hit on him. Miranda informs Fletcher that he will be promoted up to Partner at the law firm if he wins the case, which she then asks if he would like to [[DoubleEntendre make a partner right now]] while performing a NecktieLeash ready to kiss him. Before Fletcher has a chance to reject her, Miranda has already begun making-out with him, which Fletcher gives in to [[CoitusEnsues having sex with her]].
* A RareFemaleExample in ''Film/SideEffects''. Emily was able to seduce [[spoiler:Dr Siebert simply by masturbating on her couch in their first psychiatry session.]]

* ''Series/TheMentalist'':
** Analyzed in an episode, where one of the suspects in a murder is a "pick-up artist". He talks about his tricks for getting a woman into bed every night, but he also admits that he strikes out a lot -- the key is to keep going, so through sheer volume he finds at least one receptive woman each day. As Jane (who has the potential to be this kind of person) explains, it's a good system for one-night stands, but is horrible for establishing a long-term relationship.
** The same episode plays the trope for maximum comedy effect by having the resident [[TheStoic stoic]] Kimball Cho perform instant seduction at a bar as part of an undercover operation... which he proceeds to do without ever deviating from his trademark [[DeadpanSnarker deadpan]], stone-faced persona. The InstantSeduction conversations actually ''are'' depicted on-screen, and despite (or because of) his demeanor, Cho has a high and actually quite credible success rate.
** In another episode of the show, Patrick Jane makes a bet that he can seduce the woman of Rigsby's choice. Rigsby picks the widow of the victim, not expecting Jane to actually try it.
* Okona from the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS2E4TheOutrageousOkona "The Outrageous Okona"]] uses this on apparently every second woman on the ship ([[HoYay and Wesley]]).

* Captain Jack Harkness of the 2005 revival of ''Series/DoctorWho'' and of ''Series/{{Torchwood}}''. Somewhat subverted in ''Doctor Who'' in that it never gets past "hi", although that can be easily attributed to the family-friendly nature of the show. ''Torchwood'' demonstrates that it is completely plausible that, should the Doctor not be there to [[MomentKiller get in the way]], Captain Jack will engage in sexytime with anyone.
* ''Series/{{Leverage}}'' features this during "The Lonely Hearts Job". It is first used by a team of female grifters to con rich men out of their money. It is explicitly discussed that they rely on large amounts of eye contact and other simple tricks to make their marks fall in love with them. Nate also fakes a more genuine version of this as part of a con. Although it is largely subverted with him in that he and Sophie were already a couple, though she did force him to make it look genuine as opposed to allowing him to script it.
* Charlie from ''Series/TwoAndAHalfMen''. The exact code varies.

** A latter-season episode introduces Barney's ''previous'' wingman, who, for twenty dollars, seduced a woman with only one word, and for twenty ''more'' dollars, chose the word "boner".
* Subverted in an episode of ''Series/{{Chuck}}'', where the title character is failing his normal seduction attempt and is coached into suddenly speaking totally out of character to get closer to an enemy agent... who's totally onto his being coached.
* Joey from ''Series/{{Friends}}''. All he says is, "How ''you'' doin'?" and any woman anywhere will immediately leap into bed with him. He also invents a story about [[NoodleIncident backpacking in Western Europe]], specifically in Barcelona which accomplishes the same thing.
* Gender-reversed in ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'', where Elaine tries to flirt with George's boss [[WeNeedADistraction to distract him while George drugs him]]. The code in this case? [[AllMenArePerverts "Sooo, I'm going to a nudist colony..."]]
* An inversion: in an episode of ''Series/CornerGas'', Karen sleeps with Hank after he waxes poetic about fish. Not because she's into fish at all, but because ''he's'' into fishing so much that it brings out his poetic and sensitive side; we even see him from her point of view and he's in soft focus. It's subverted later in the episode after they decide not to continue with things, only for Karen to start in on how she likes target practice, and Hank sees her in soft focus...then she fumbles for words and the moment's lost.
* ''Series/QueerAsFolk'' has Brian Kinney who literally seduces men with a single sentence (which we of course never hear).
* Parodied in an episode of ''Series/WKRPInCincinnati''. The gang is at a bar and the guys all hit up Jennifer with some jokey pick-up line except Les. When she encourages him to try his best line Les says, "I'm extremely wealthy." Jennifer snuggles up to him.
* Done after a fashion on ''Series/TwinPeaks'' when Audrey infiltrates One Eyed Jack's brothel. When Blackie asks why she should hire her, Audrey ties a cherry stem in a knot with her tongue. This was parodied when Kyle [=McLaghlin=] hosted ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'': when "Audrey" finishes wrapping "Cooper's" going-away present by tying and elaborate gift bow in her mouth.

* The hero of the ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights'' mod ''VideoGame/TheBastardOfKosigan'' can do this if his Charisma is high enough. At least sixteen will do it.

* ''VideoGame/FableI'': If the Hero PlayerCharacter becomes [[LivingLegend famous enough]] and gets his Attractiveness statistic high enough, he can talk a man or woman into ''marriage'' in a single brief interaction.

* In ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'', Steve [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1699 suspects]] this of Marten, then tries to [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1700 do]] it to Tai[[note]]who is gay[[/note]], which leads Marten and Cosette to [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1701 mock it.]]
* Tip from ''Webcomic/SkinHorse''. It's referred to in-story as a superpower (semi-jokingly).
* In ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' Torg once tried this on Gwynn. [[http://sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/20011002 He failed horribly.]]

* ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'':
** Jason possesses this skill, though it's attributed to some sort of genius math formula that ''somehow'' makes this possible.
** Also played with when Davan walks up to an attractive woman and simply says "Want to go to my place and have lots of sex?" and gets an affirmative. Jason, the resident Lothario, immediately starts trying to remember what special gestures or postures Davan used to make the question magically effective.

* ''Webcomic/YetAnotherFantasyGamerComic'': [[http://yafgc.net/comic/0549-da-rulez/ The bard demonstrates the game of love]] to Clover by seducing a tavern wench in under a minute.
%%* [[http://xkcd.com/853/ This]] ''Webcomic/{{XKCD}}'' comic is a rather good example.
* The French comic ''[[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/first-date First Date]]'' parodies this: A pretty girl compliments a guy's watch, saying it's cute because "it's so small," and he responds with a nervous "This is the first time a girl told me that." That makes her laugh, and cut immediately to them having sex. [[spoiler:But it's AllJustADream, and the girl is actually married.]]
%%* ''Webcomic/GuildedAge'': Payet somehow knows how to do this. It might be because everyone believes he's an Epic Hero.

** A latter-season episode introduces Barney's ''previous'' wingman, who, for twenty dollars, seduced a woman with only one word, and for twenty ''more'' dollars, used the word "boner".

** In another episode of the show, Patrick Jane makes a bet that he can seduce the woman of Riggsby's choice. Riggsby picks the widow of the victim, not expecting Jane to actually try it.

* Demonstrated in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' at the Romanticorp headquarters. The company is experimenting with pick-up lines. One dummy says, "My two favorite things are commitment and changing myself." The test subject (woman) immediately starts making out with the dummy.

* In ''Film/QuantumOfSolace'', Bond and Agent Fields walk into a hotel room in Bolivia. Bond immediately throws his keys on the bed and walks into another room, while Fields stands around looking confused. Bond says a line about asking her to help him look for "stationery", and she immediately laughs and goes to walk into the room. Cut to sometime later, and Bond has already bedded her by the time Mathis comes along with a party invite.

* In ''Fanfic/TheGuyWhoCriedGrendel'', Grendel achieves this by accident: when he saves Benedicta from being killed by doing a BridalCarry, the GM had him roll for Seduction. Grendel pulled off a critical success, while Benedicta had an EpicFail when trying to resist the seduction.

* In ''Fanfic/TheGuyWhoCriedGrendel'', Grendel achieves this by accident: when he saves Benedicta from being killed by carrying her BridalStyle, the GM had him roll for Seduction. Grendel pulled off a critical success, while Benedicta had an EpicFail when trying to resist the seduction.

* ''Series/QueerAsFolkUS'' has Brian Kinney who literally seduces men with a single sentence (which we of course never hear).

* Done after a fashion on ''Series/TwinPeaks'' when Audrey infiltrates One Eyed Jack's brothel. When Blackie asks why she should hire her, Audrey ties a cherry stem in a knot with her tongue.
** Parodied when Kyle McLaghlin hosted ''Sereis/SaturdayNightLive'' when "Audrey" finishes wrapping "Cooper's" going-away present by tying and elaborate gift bow in her mouth.
