Man, I reek of booze, and I can't remember a thing. Where am I? Oh God, looks like I'm on the what did I do last night page! Might be a Noodle Incident where not even the characters know or remember what happened. Often, but not always, involves drugs or alcohol. Strictly speaking it doesn't have to be a night. It can be any alcohol or drug-induced craziness plus memory block. Getting a tattoo or joining the Armed Forces is a common outcome, as is the ever-popular Bedmate Reveal. If they're in Las Vegas, an Accidental Marriage is likely. See also Bedmate Reveal, Did They or Didn't They?.

  • Man, I reek of booze, and I can't remember a thing. Where am I? Oh God, looks like I'm on the what did I do last night page! Might be a Noodle Incident where not even the characters know or remember what happened. Often, but not always, involves drugs or alcohol. Strictly speaking it doesn't have to be a night. It can be any alcohol or drug-induced craziness plus memory block. The character wakes up confused in a compromising position, and then utters in confusion: "What did I do last night?" As they learn more about what happened they repeat themselves, only this time in horror: "What did I DO last night?!" Often the episode become a quest to learn the truth. Usually in comedy it's a it's Not What It Looks Like situation, but in drama it often is what it looks like, resulting in a Wham! Episode and an Aesop about not drinking. Getting a tattoo or joining the Armed Forces is a common outcome, as is the ever-popular Bedmate Reveal. If they're in Las Vegas, an Accidental Marriage is likely. This is a common romance comedy trope, sometimes used as a Ship Tease. For example, have two people end up in bed whom the fandom have been pairing up (despite their hating each other in canon). Have them freak at the thought that they might have had sex. Maybe have them sort of try out a "relationship" only for it to be "The Masochism Tango", but by the end of the day they figure out that no sex occurred, happily resulting in a Snap Back. Another version can occur where everybody else does know what happened last night, but decide to conceal it so as to have some fun with the poor guy who can't remember. If the audience gets to see the poor drunk's patchy memories of the evening, they may be portrayed via Binge Montage. See also Bedmate Reveal, Did They or Didn't They?. You Wake Up in a Room is a darker, less comedic variation. In Fan Fiction this is the mandatory lead-in to a Vegas Crossover. Can also be related to Missing Time, although this doesn't usually involve alcohol. It can be Truth in Television, although the amount of alcohol you must consume to lead to Real Life memory loss is pretty close to how much you need to die from alcohol poisoning.
