History Main / TestKiss

* In ''{{Shortpacked}}!'', Mike and one of the girls both kiss Ethan to check his sexual preference.

* In a rare example of a TestKiss being an actual test, Crichton and Aeryn from ''{{Farscape}}'' once kissed in a test for genetic compatibility. Positive!

* In ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'', Asuka decides to kiss Shinji because she's bored. She pinches his nose because his breath tickles, causing him to turn blue while she kissed him. Afterwards, he's left gasping for breath, while Asuka is in the bathroom gargling soap.
** Or at least Asuka ''claims'' that the only reason she wants to kiss Shinji is that she's bored. (What else is an [[{{Tsundere}} Asuka]] to do? Actually [[AnguishedDeclarationOfLove admit]] she might have ''[[BelligerentSexualTension feelings]]'' for [[TheSoCalledCoward someone as pathetic as Shinji]]?) The extra scenes in the director's cut of the last few episodes demonstrate that there's a whole lot more going on in that scene than either Shinji or (especially) Asuka is willing to admit.

* ''{{Glee}}'' plays with this. After kissing each other while drunk during a game of Spin the Bottle, they both feel sparks, causing Blaine to doubt he's really gay, and Rachel to fall head over heels. When Kurt says that there's IncompatibleOrientation, Rachel kisses him again to prove Kurt wrong. Due to the absence of alcohol, Blaine [[NoSparks feels nothing]], and reaffirms that he's gay, and Rachel has something to right a song about, so all is well.

Related tropes: NoSparks, WillTheyOrWontThey, RelationshipUpgrade, UnresolvedSexualTension, and PracticeKiss.

* Played with on ''TheSecretLifeOfTheAmericanTeenager''. Amy worries that she might not be a good kisser after a guy doesn't call her after their date. Her baby daddy Ricky offers to kiss her to calm her fears, and practice her technique if need be. When the two of them kiss, it quickly becomes clear that it's not practicing, but the resolving of {{UST}}.(Despite their initial attempts to tell their friends that there were [[NoSparks no sparks]] and it really was [[BlatantLies just practice]])

* Jacob forces Bella into this in Eclipse, book 3 in the {{Twilight}} series. It's a rare example because [[spoiler: it's a good kiss, but not a happy ending for Jacob. She figures out that she does love him, but not enough to leave Edward for him.]]

* The ''{{Recess}}'' episode "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG_jDV8M1jA The Experiment]]" centers around the kids' curiosity with this new, strange concept they've heard of called kissing, and they decide the only way to truly see what it's like is by having two of them kiss. The two girls and five boys draw straws, and the lot falls to T.J. and Spinelli, as pictured above. Cue the launch of a new ToyShip!

* In the third season of ''{{Buffy The Vampire Slayer}}'', Cordelia and Wesley finally kiss after half a season's worth of UnresolvedSexualTension. The kiss is incredibly awkward, they pull apart, say some polite goodbyes, and never discuss it again.

The test kiss will likely be unsuccessful if one party is the UnluckyChildhoodFriend, the RomanticFalseLead, a RomanticRunnerup, wants to be JustFriends, or if they're TheStraightWillAndGrace.

* ''TheWestWing'': C.J. and Danny do this to clear the air between them, planning to continue their relationship in a professional manner afterward. Doesn't turn out that way (for a while, anyway) as they keep kissing every once in a while just for fun.

- Betty Everett, "It's In His Kiss"

The test kiss will likely be unsuccessful if one party is the UnluckyChildhoodFriend, ThePaolo, RomanticRunnerup, if they're JustFriends, or if they're TheStraightWillAndGrace.

* Janis and Damian's kiss in ''MeanGirls''. Intentionally comical since it is implied that Damian is gay and Janis is rumoured to be a lesbian.
** ''Implied?'' Incorrect. It's outright stated many times.

* In ''Film/{{Spider-man}} 2'', Mary Jane asks her fiance to kiss her upside down, reenacting her awesome kiss with Spiderman. He feels it; she doesnt.
