Tsundere/Other Media

Usually tsuntsun ("Type A")

 * Dept Heaven Apocrypha has Meria (though she's tsungire rather than tsundere and she's like this to everyone around her instead of just love interests), who prefers to insult people and be insufferable but is also capable of loving devotion to her friends.
 * In the personality profiling inventory known as the Enneagram, "Type 8" is a personality type characterized by high assertiveness, aggression, and independence. According to the Enneagram's theory, when harsh, abrasive Type 8s experience a positive shift in their mindframe (which may or may not be brought on by the actions of others), they take on the traits of "Type 2", characterized by kindness, open-heartedness, caring, and generosity.
 * Nerds candy. Sour on the outside, sugary-sweet on the inside!
 * Similarly, Sour Patch Kids. Even the TV commercials state that, "First they're sour, then they're sweet."
 * Warheads.
 * Despite her mocking of the concept (see below), The Nostalgia Chick can be a good example of this herself. The Critic and Nella trigger the violent side while Angry Joe and Nella set off the softer side.


 * There are some things that man was never meant to know.
 * Recently, Tsundere Cafes have been opening in the Otakuland of Akihabara. Similar to Meido Cafes, the waitresses there are young attractive women, each acting Tsundere-ish towards their patrons: very rude and impatient at the beginning ("Here, sit." "Am I supposed to wait for you, or what?" "Have you decided on your order yet?!") but getting increasingly more apologetic and dere when they are about to leave ("I'm sorry I said all those things to you... you will come again, won't you?..."). Witness reports say that this change is irresistible. The waitresses apparently enjoy their jobs immensely, too, but, heck, getting paid for being rude to customers? A dream job.
 * This is sort of the gimmick of the American restaurant Ed Debevicks, where both male and female waitstaff are deliberately rude to customers.
 * Dick's Last Resort in San Diego does the same thing, among other things hanging the ties of patrons on the walls is part of the schtick and it's a highly recommended spot to go to not just for the food.
 * The restaurant Durgin Park (motto: "Established before you were born") in Boston is well known for their "sharp tongued" waitstaff, but they're more the "cranky aunty" types than regular Tsundere. It's well known in Boston just for the experience.
 * From The Other Wiki: Toy manufacturer Tomy Co. has come up with the world's first "tsundere" portable television set, which gives audio guidance with a harsh voice that gradually becomes kinder as the user gets used to the set.
 * Tsundere cookies!
 * A storyline in Zits has Hector flirt with being a 'bad boy' but eventually resolves to stay a 'tootsiepop personality' -- "hard on the outside, but with a soft, chewy center."

Usually deredere ("Type B")

 * A vanity license plate frame reads: "51% sweetheart, 49% bitch -- don't push it!"
 * Christopher Titus deconstructs the nature of this trope with stories about his Ax Crazy ex-girlfriend. He remarks in one of his sketches that the transition from ur-nice matron to screaming, sociopathic harridan was signified by nothing more than the smell of ozone and a murderous gleam in her eye, and with no explanation afterwards except "sugar imbalance". Any jokes he might make to the effect of "Abuse Is Okay When It's Female On Male" is mostly to that of natural selection against him being too dumb to see how much of a bitch she was.

Meta

 * Cats. The type depends on the individual cat, but damn if they can't be bi-polar.
 * Very common behaviour among children and young teens. No specific examples, please.
 * An article in The Escapist has noted that a scientific study has demonstrated that tsundere appeal may in fact be rooted in the way we unconsciously track our relationships with others.

Unsorted
"Pig: Pigita...you're a good girlfriend, but sometimes you're a little moody. Pigita: I'm sorry, Piggy Wiggy. Pig: You don't have to be sorry. Pigita: I'll be sorry if I want to be sorry. [kicks him over and leaves him lying face-down]"
 * In Dept Heaven Apocrypha, Nessiah started out rather violently type-A towards Milanor as the initial attraction started. As the story progressed he became more of a type-B, at least until his Trauma Conga Line got so draining that he didn't have the spunk left to tsuntsun at anyone. And then his Sanity Slippage and jealousy issues sent him on a hard swerve into Yandere territory...
 * He seems to be getting some of those type-B characteristics back as he recovers, though.
 * Pigita from the comic strip Pearls Before Swine:


 * Filipino actress Maricel Soriano helped popularize the Tsundere archetype in The Eighties and The Nineties Filipino films and TV shows. Although the first tsundere was introduced in Japan before her shot to fame in the Philippines, several people didn't know it was the exact term for the archetype until around the 2000's.
 * Fiat demonstrated this rather well in a recent ad for the 500 Abarath. A man fantasizes that the car is a beautiful woman who slaps and chews him out for looking at her butt when she was bent over adjusting her shoes, then softens her tone and gets close, at which point the fantasy ends.
