A gag where two characters spontaneously hug in a moment of shared joy or affection—and then one or both of them quickly, awkwardly pull away. Maybe they want to maintain their stoic, manly, or jerkish facades. Maybe they've remembered that they're Just Friends, or not even friends to begin with. In addition to humor, the device can be used for a Ship Tease, or to show that two characters really do like each other. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Can be a Not So Stoic moment. A common result of the Man Hug. Compare Rescue Hug and Security Cling. If somebody's really enthusiastic, you might end up with an Accidental Kiss instead. Can turn into a Gay Moment. Examples: |

In Monsters University, Don and Ms. Squibbles spontaneously embrace after Oozma Kappa's apparent victory in the Scare Games, and Don has trouble pulling away because of his sticky tentacles. Ms. Squibbles doesn't mind. | |

In the Dexter episode "Dex, Lies & Videotape", Deb impulsively hugs Lundy after he clears up a misunderstanding. He hugs her back. Then a crackling police radio reminds them that not only are they (at that point) platonic co-workers, they're in the middle of a crime scene. | |

Variant in Community - the Dean has been given $2000 to film a new tv ad for the college. One scene simply has Britta say "Meet different people!" as she and Troy hug - but the Dean has become a monster of a director, and has them do repeated takes hundreds of times, to conform to his vision, until they end up crying and breaking down. Sobbing, they go to hug each other for comfort, and both pull back screaming. | |

My Gym Partner's a Monkey has an instance of this. Overjoyed to see one another after the events of the episode, Adam and Jake race towards one another. Jake spins Adam several times after embracing him and the two laugh happily. Suddenly reality ensues and the two awkwardly pull away. Much of the dialogue that follows is delivered in a forced "manly voice" before they part ways. | |

The creators of Seinfeld solemnly vowed to have "no hugs" in the show, as well as no lessons learnt. In one episode where Jerry and George pull off a successful pitch of their show-within-a-show they almost hug but quickly decide against it. Made funnier by the fact that the show-within-a-show is based on Seinfeld itself and Jerry and George are based on the show's creators. | |

Zits Lampshaded in one strip: just as Jeremy and Hector are about to hug, they look at each other and then sit down. Hector mentions hugging between males always looks easier on TV, to which Jeremy responds "Let Us Never Speak of This Again". In another strip Jeremy and Walt express their mutual affection with an "Air Hug" (ie making hugging motions about three feet from one another). That either of them went that far apparently had something to do with it being Walt's birthday. |

Danny Phantom. In "One of a Kind", Danny and Tucker fall asleep and end up snuggled together. They wake up that way, scream, and yank their arms back. With Danny and Sam in "Fanning the Flames". Unlike the first example, this was used for Ship Tease. |
