* ''Anime/ExcelSaga'' has an entire episode framed around Il Pallazo playing a dating sim and Excel having to live through the choices he makes. The third choice is always "Put it in", not that he ever chooses it. In the final episode, there's a brief return of these shots... and ''all'' the options are "Put It In".



* ''Manga/KimiNiTodoke'': Our lovely Sawako shows us how it's done in the picture.
* There's also a Dating Sim Shot with Saki in the ''Manga/{{Genshiken}}'' manga (and Madarame too).

* ''[[LightNovel/{{Oreimo}} My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute]]'' has the male lead introduced to dating sims (against his will), after which he starts seeing menu options whenever he faces a decision. One scene has a shot of his father that matches this trope format.
* When the members of ''LightNovel/StudentCouncilsDiscretion'' were discussing Kurimu's bad grades, Sugisaki imagines himself playing the scene out in one of his games. He chooses to save and click the 'hug' option to start a sex scene.
