| Man Hug | comment |
Nowadays, in the western world, displays of affection between men are discouraged, on the theory that they are too "girly", or indicative of homosexuality. A congratulatory clap on the shoulder or back? Fine. Shaking hands or bumping fists or elbows? No problem. Hugging and kissing? Not so much. Therefore, when two men hug, it usually indicates that they are close friends, brothers (in blood or in spirit) or trusted comrades-in-arms. This is the Man Hug, also known as Dapping Up. Usually accompanied by a mutual clap on the back or shouldernote (The general rule seems to be the more physical pain you inflict, the more affection is communicated. Expect the occasional clenched-fist-pat, or pound.), the Man Hug is a show of deep trust and close friendship between two men that cannot be broken easily. It may be a show of comfort, a wordless offer of good luck, or even a gesture of greeting. It is often combined with a handshake, so that two men approach, shake hands, throw the free arm around their partner, briefly bump chests, and separate without any further fanfare. However, this can be part of a more elaborate ritual (see the Metal Gear Solid example, below). Basically this hug says, "Yeah I'm hugging you, but I'm also hitting you." as a way to save face. On a side note, when you have someone who doesn't follow this trope (usually the Sensitive Guy), he'll usually rush into a low hug, head about belly-button level, and cling like a limpet with the other guy standing stock still and sometimes slowly lowering a hand in a pat-pause-pat rhythm. Related to Air Hugging. May be a sign that two characters are Heterosexual Life-Partners. Men who aren't afraid to hug also don't tend to be afraid to shed Manly Tears. Subtrope of Handshake Substitute. See also Big Damn Hug. |

Ethan and Victor share a rather awkward man hug at the end of Penny Dreadful season three while mourning Vanessa's death. This is especially poignant as the two have been keeping a distance from each other, one being a man of action and the other, of science, and it is Victor who initiates said hug, despite being the socially awkward nerd and probably realizing that Vanessa's death hurts Ethan way more than him. | |

Subverted in Brokeback Mountain (of course). After seeing each other for the first time in four years, Jack and Ennis share a platonic, rugged "man hug". But when they pull away, their faces linger just a little too close to each other. Ennis looks around to make sure they are not being watched... then pushes Jack up against a wall and they proceed to make out like the world is ending. | |

The Simpsons: In "Blood Feud" Burns sends Smithers to have hired goons beat up Homer. But Smithers feels this is too harsh, especially since Burns owes his life to Homer on more than one occasion. So when giving the instructions to the goon, he teeters back and forth between letting Homer off and letting him live, to the goon's exasperation. When he asks what Homer did, Smithers bawls out "He saved Mr. Burns' liiiife!!" and collapses sobbing on his chest, holding him tight. The confused mook looks around and does the pat-pat-pat-on-the-shoulder thing. | |

Gotham: Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock will do this a lot, usually of the quick and macho variety, but they're known to have longer variations. Bullock even plants an elated kiss on Gordon's cheek in one episode. When the series starts, Alfred Pennyworth hugs Bruce Wayne as a father would hug his son, as Bruce is still a young child. However, as time passes and Bruce matures into a young man, their occasional hugs start to feel more like this. For all their bickering and even fights, Oswald Cobblepot and Ed Nygma have a genuine Villainous Friendship and share the occasional hug. Played for laughs in one episode when they embrace and then draw their knives, clearly meaning to literally stab each other in the back as per their mutual Chronic Backstabbing Disorder. Hilariously, they both seem to get a little more into the hug than the stabbing, and when they part, conspicuously sniffing, they both have to surreptitiously put their daggers away. |

A hilarious subversion of this is in an episode of Justice League ("Savage Time: Part III") after Superman and a handful of the other Leaguers return to the present. Batman had not been with them (well, there was an alternate version of him where they went) so he is given the Man Hug by Superman. To which he replies in a confused, but still utterly deadpan voice: "...am I missing something here?" | |

Early in the third game of the Galaxy Angel trilogy, Tact wakes up from having a nightmare of the Elsior and the Angel Wing getting completely obliterated. When he returns to the bridge, the first thing he does is hugging Lester out of relief, much to the latter's annoyance. The reactions of Almo and Coco add to the hilarity of the scene, the former feeling devastated at thinking that Lester swings the other way, while the later is excited at how close Tact and Lester seem to be. Lester for his part wants none of it, and pulls out his gun to get Tact to stop messing around. | |

Tolkien's Legendarium film adaptations by Peter Jackson: The Lord of the Rings: Frodo and Sam share a big, tearful hug in The Fellowship of the Ring after Sam risks drowning to accompany Frodo to Mordor. Other examples from the trilogy are Gimli and Aragorn when the latter turns up alive at Helm's Deep in The Two Towers, and Boromir and Faramir in a flashback following the recapture of Osgiliath. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey: We have Thorin hugging a surprised Bilbo, after he rebukes the hobbit for facing down Azog and a pack of wargs to prevent Thorin being decapitated. Gandalf and Elrond share a brief embrace when they meet again at Rivendell. Dwalin and Balin are shown hugging and wearily butting heads in a flashback to Azanulbizar, happy to see each other alive. |

In Persona 4 the MC can give one (of the arms-around-the-waist variety) to Yosuke if he chooses the right choice in an earlier scene. Amidst his crying, Yosuke questions the manliness of the hug, saying, "You dumbass... that's for girls..." Of course, there is only one hug animation for the MC. | |

While Sin City is usually Rated M for Manly, we have at least one notable example of this trope. When Wallace, the One-Man Army, meets up with a former military buddy to kick a little bad guy arse, he is greeted by a bear hug from the Emotional Bruiser. He mentions that his ribs almost break. | |

Averted, however, in Homestuck itself when Dave actually meets Dirk and (after a lengthy heart-to-heart conversation) grabs him in a completely un-manly clinging hug. |

Actually Lost loves this trope, when ever a male character returns from the jungle he is greeted with either a man hug from someone in the crew (Hurley is pretty dependable for this, but it could any guy) or a Reunion Kiss from their sweety. |

Tony gives Gibbs a very quick "Yay, you're not dead!" hug in the first episode of the fourth season of NCIS. Gibbs just stand there, though. Too manly at the moment even to slap a back. A more emotional version at the end of the episode "Keep Going", where Gibbs grabs Palmer into one of these. This time it's Palmer who's too stunned to do anything. (The backstory on this moment is that Palmer spent the entire episode trying to talk a suicidal man out of jumping off a building. In the course of talking to him, he mentioned that Gibbs had never hugged him, indicating that he didn't think Gibbs liked or respected him. Gibbs promptly proved otherwise.) |

In the 9/11 documentary made by the Naudet brothersnote They were doing a documentary on the NYFD that ended up being one on the terrorist attack, the firefighters returning to the station share plenty of these, relieved that everyone is safe. On of the brothers who has made it back pesters the firemen about the other until the other brother finally walks in. At this point, they do their own version of this trope, complete with tears (until that moment, each had feared that the other was dead). | |

Finn and Poe have an epic man hug upon being reunited near the end of The Force Awakens. Notably, they have already bonded previously while escaping from the Kylo Ren's Star Destroyer at the very beginning of the film, but then lost each other in the ensuing starfighter crash and never got to formalize their bond, so to speak. Their hug thus serves as a long-delayed payoff of the setup at the start of the story. | |

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey: We have Thorin hugging a surprised Bilbo, after he rebukes the hobbit for facing down Azog and a pack of wargs to prevent Thorin being decapitated. Gandalf and Elrond share a brief embrace when they meet again at Rivendell. Dwalin and Balin are shown hugging and wearily butting heads in a flashback to Azanulbizar, happy to see each other alive. |

Game of Thrones: Robb Stark and Jon Snow give each other a farewell hug before the latter leaves Winterfell to join the Night's Watch. Sadly, this would be the last time they saw each other. Likewise, Jaime and Tyrion Lannister in "The Children" after the former helped the latter escape from being executed for allegedly poisoning Joffrey. |

In a second-season episode of Home Improvement, Tim talks about the Man Hug in a Tool Time segment, and tells his guests that he's secure enough as a man to dare hug other men as a token of appreciation. The hug issue is very quickly dropped when Al remarks: "You know, Tim, in Europe, men kiss each other on both cheeks." | |

At the end of Criminal Minds season two episode "Revelations", Reid gives Hotch a hug. It's a heartwarming moment considering what happened in the episode, though Hotch has a surprised look on his face. The male cast of Criminal Minds actually tends to be pretty physically affectionate, at least for American TV. When you chase down serial killers all day, I guess you don't have much to prove. | |

Lampshaded in the The Chronicles of Narnia when the narrator explains that since Peter is King, it isn't girly of him to be hugging his men. Or talking animals. He doesn't just hug them, he kisses them as well. (Though probably not on the lips.) Specifically, in the scene in Prince Caspian when Peter and Edmund arrive, Peter kisses the badger on the head in (gratitude? reward? greeting?) some kind of affection, because the badgers never wavered in their belief that Old Narnia would return to power. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: In "Tabula Rasa" all the main characters lose their memories; Giles and Spike conclude that they're father and son. They still have their antipathy for each other, but as they part ways, Giles initiates the most tentative, awkward man hug ever recorded. Lampshaded in season 4's "The Freshman" when Xander returns from him travels and hugs Willow and Kathy but hesitates at Oz. In season 5's "Into The Woods", after Joyce is given a clean bill of health, everyone hugs... except Xander and Giles, who both seem to realise that Men Don't Hug at the last second. After Joyce dies a couple of episodes later, they share a long hug. |

X-Men: Apocalypse: Alex Summers and Charles Xavier haven't seen each other in two decades, and their greeting is a handshake which promptly turns into a warm embrace. This gesture is noticeably more intimate than the straightforward handshake shared between Havok and Hank McCoy (a former classmate). It hints that Alex feels a greater degree of fondness and esteem for Professor X, whom he had once looked up to as a father figure and who had played a pivotal role in his life when Alex was a teenager. | |

It continues in 4x02 after Merlin comes back alive and well after the Dorocha attack, everyone proceeded to Man Hug Merlin. But again, subverted with Arthur who just smiles, pats him on the back and pulls him to the fire where everyone else is. The two finally hug in 4x06. Notable in that it's ARTHUR who initiates the man hug. |

Fellow Travelers: At the hunting cabin, Hawkins Fuller comforts his former lover Tim Laughlin with a hug when the latter is distressed over the fact that he could spend a dozen years in jail for destroying federal property (specifically breaking into government offices to burn draft cards for The Vietnam War) among other felony charges. Their embrace becomes more sensual when Hawk whispers "I've missed you, Skippy" and then kisses Tim's neck — likely his intention is to initiate foreplay — but Tim tells him to stop and pulls away. Two days before Frankie moves to San Francisco, his ex-boyfriend Marcus requests a kiss goodbye, but Frankie turns him down and gives him a goodbye hug instead. |
