Fan Disservice/Art





Advertising

 * This ad for billboard space is built on this trope. Buy this space or the fat man gets nekkid! (Also has some Unfortunate Implications, as this explains.)
 * A Finnish ad for Fixus car services. There's an old guy with two beautiful daughters, but the daughters talk with their father's voice.

Fine Art

 * Hieronymus Bosch, especially in his religious/cautionary works.
 * Gustave Doré, all too often.
 * Henry Fuseli, best known for The Nightmare.
 * Francisco Goya, especially with the mental and physical health problems he experienced towards the end of his life.
 * Carolee Schneemann's Interior Scroll, a performance piece where she reads from a scroll literally pulled from her vagina.

Music
"Close your eyes! Darth Vader is naked!
 * Not Myself Tonight by Christina Aguilera is known for how it failed in the sexy department.
 * "Dirrty" wasn't considered appealing in its time, controversial yes, appealing no.
 * "nasty naughty boy" has her screaming at the top of her lungs, and not in an appealing way.
 * They Might Be Giants' song "The Catalyst":

Close your eyes! Darth Vader is naked!

Close your eyes! Darth Vader is naked!"


 * The music video for "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails has this in spades. There are naked women (and naked bondage-Trent) but the other images and the music itself prevent it from being anywhere near Fan Service.
 * Meanwhile, the music video for "Happiness In Slavery" makes "Closer" look tame. It involves a naked man torn to pieces in gruesome ways. If it weren't in black and white, it would be completely unwatchable. And this is just the most widely seen portion of the semi-unreleased Broken Movie, which is apparently twenty minutes of stuff like this, though most of it is rather tame music videos by Happiness in Slavery standards. The rest will remove parts of your soul that you can never reclaim.
 * In the full version of Robbie Williams's "Rock DJ," Robbie takes it all off. By "all off," that includes his skin and muscle tissue.
 * Pink's "Stupid Girls" video has three scenes of Pink wearing not very much - the first is her in a bikini getting a completely ugly orange spray tan, the second is her pants getting ripped off completely in the gym to her humiliation and the third is her topless but getting ready to have a ton of cosmetic surgery. She was probably going for this as well with the pisstake of Jessica Simpson in "These Boots Are Made For Walking".
 * In "Perfect" the girl in the video is seen in a bathtub, carving the word "Perfect" into her arm. Squick.
 * There are plenty of bikini-clad women in Aphex Twin's "Windowlicker." The catch: all of them have Richard D. James's face.
 * The music videos for "Pon De Floor" and "Keep It Goin' Louder" by Major Lazer.
 * Divine's I'm So Beautiful music video. The title doesn't help to "her" jiggling.
 * The random hairless cat that flashes for a fraction of a second in Bad Romance.
 * Lady Gaga uses this trope as frequently as she uses Fetish Fuel.
 * The music video for "Girls & Boys" by Good Charlotte. Elderly people dressed like younger people.
 * Murdoc Niccals of Gorillaz is basically made of Fan Disservice.
 * The career of Mexican singer Alejandra Guzman for about the last decade or so. She aims to be Ms. Fanservice, but she gets into Erection Rejection at best.
 * The cover for Intestinal Disgorge's "Depravity" is a man having sex with a lady in S&M gear... who has obviously been dead for at least a few days and is thoroughly mangled from the waist down.
 * The Scissor Sisters' video for "Invisible Light." Among other moments, a man licks the stigmatic hand of a naked, bone-thin woman while the screen cuts to a cleaned (as in, for cooking) rabbit crucified.
 * The Contemptible Cover of Bloodhound Gang's Hefty Fine, with a naked obese man.
 * The video for LMFAO's "Sexy And I Know It". It starts with the band members themselves nearly naked, and while they're not all that good-looking, they're not bad-looking either. But by the climax of the video there's a huge, hairy overweight man at the camera.
 * Most fan videos for "Sexy and I Know It" use unattractive characters in joking reference to this. There's even one using a lot of incredibly unattractive pictures of various exposed flesh from People of Wal Mart.

New Media

 * This. "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Barry White along with scenes of Smeagol and Gollum.
 * There is an ad for an MMORPG showing a girl in an extremely Stripperiffic costume. From what this observer can tell, she has no arms.
 * In the CAPSLOCK: ATLA community, the "penance" for posting in lowercase is that you have to post naked Iroh pictures.
 * An image from the Japanese art site Pixiv features a cute, blue-skinned girl-who happens to have the flesh stripped from her midsection, leaving her spinal cord and bottom of her ribcage exposed.

Professional Wrestling

 * Two words that strike fear and terror into even the most jaded Pro Wrestling fan's gonads: Mae Young.
 * The 2000 Royal Rumble "Miss Rumble" bikini contest. Hot women in bikinis, often getting skimpier per woman. The last bonus entrant... Mae Young. A woman in her 80s. She then promptly attempts to kiss Jerry Lawler, and ends up baring her breasts. DVD version of this was unfortunately very poorly censored.
 * WWE had a thing called "Divas Undressed" in which the Divas paraded around in skimpy outfits. It was aired at 1 in the morning and they decided the event needed WWE style "comedy". So we got Mae Young again. And for good measure, Rico in a pineapple bra.
 * The Bra and Panties Gauntlet match at "New Year's Revolution 2006" had her come out and perform a full striptease in front of the crowd.
 * The Katie Vick angle. Triple H brings up Katie Vick during a feud with Kane, a supposed incident where Kane was in love with a cheerleader named Katie Vick, but then she died, and he promptly had sex with her corpse. The lowpoint of this angle was a supposed "video" Triple H produced of Kane committing the act---it was Triple H in a Kane mask, climbing into a coffin with a cheerleader mannequin, pretending to have sex. Ended with Triple H reaching over towards her head, grabbing a handful of spaghetti with sauce and throwing it at the camera, proclaiming that he "screwed her [brains] out".
 * "Big" Dick Johnson. Or, as he was known before he was named on-screen (and his counterpart in TNA was actually named), Big Fat Naked Oily Guy. Yes, it's as bad it sounds.
 * Any time a wrestler who has packed on a few bounds wears nothing but tights or trunks. Kane, Matt Hardy, JBL, Hulk Hogan, even Big Show. The list goes on...

Stand Up Comedy
""I figured it was God getting even with me for wanting to see women naked. 'Hey, you wanna see naked women, huh? Here's your grandma!' AAH!""
 * Comedian Jeff Foxworthy mentions this in his stand-up.

Tabletop Games

 * Warhammer and Warhammer 40000 have Slaanesh, the Chaos god of desire, excess, decadence, beauty, pleasure, love, lust, and this trope. Its lesser demons, Daemonettes, exemplify this trope and all its servants eventually become this through the "blessings" of Chaos mutations.
 * Sulumor, aka Hellnun, is the most heavily sexualised Infernal Exalted, being a gorgeous woman in a sort of stripper-nun outfit. How could her being topless be anything other than sexy? Simple. The picture of Sulumor topless in the Infernals book is demonstrating a Malfeas Charm that allows you to render yourself immune to disease for a while by self-inducing horrible supernatural radiation sickness, complete with tumoriffic skin. It's really, really, really not sexy.
