Line 1:
{{trope}}{{Cleanup|Some examples on this page, and the page image, belong on [[Male Gaze]], being less about the character's physical trait than on the camera or a character focusing on it.}}

Line 21:
* '''Addendum:''' If the above could apply to ''every'' character (males, females, or both) by said author, it belongs in [[Author Appeal]], with an appropriate [[Pothole]] to this page.
A form of [[Fan Service]], occasionally used as the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|butt of a joke]]. Often shown off with [[Painted-On Pants]] or a [[Thong of Shielding]]. Can be employed in [[Ass Kicks You]].
Not to be confused with [[Hartman Hips]], which is when a female character in a comic or animated work is given broad hips to imply age and maturity, and may not necessarily involve buttocks at all. Compare [[Stuffy Old Songs About the Buttocks]].

== [[Advertising]] ==
* A series of Renault Megane adverts featured a lot of behinds, accompanied by Groove Armada's ''I See You Baby''. (Sadly, the 2008 model doesn't have as much junk in its trunk.)
Line 33 ⟶ 36:
* Shizuru from ''[[Godannar]]'' is frequently the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|butt]] of jokes on her derriere's size... ''[http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r277/Robo-Demon/4c26eafa8f76a1301f35f747b953142382a.gif and with good reason, too.]''
* Cattleya from ''[[Queen's Blade]]'' has this. Sure it doesn't get as much screen time as her other [[Boobs of Steel|feature(s)]] but it's still [http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/queensblade/images/9/94/Cattleya's_butt.png a sight to behold](NSFW)
* Fate Testarossa from ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (anime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' has [http://i660.photobucket.com/albums/uu328/Smokie1/fateassultimate-1.jpg?t=1276263913 a rather big ass], and the clothes she wears provides an ample excuse to show it off via upskirts. The fanart isn't an exception. Thus, Fate's ass became rather [[Memetic Mutation|memetic]] on a certain image board. [http://i660.photobucket.com/albums/uu328/Smokie1/fateass6-1.png?t=1276263913 A miracle of the universe, indeed.]
** [[Ms. Fanservice|Arf gets it worse]] in the first two seasons, probably because there's more to focus on.
* Spain having DAT ASS in ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' has grown to [[Memetic Mutation]] heights.
Line 41 ⟶ 44:
*** And if the DAT ASS meme appears, it's guaranteed someone will volley back DAT ARSE in recognition to England as the fandom sex-machine.
*** Check out this [http://alatherna.deviantart.com/art/APH-Matador-165814774 little gem] drawn by a fan on Deviantart. Dat ass indeed.......
* Lieutenant Riza/Liza Hawkeye's curves are conversed in a ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' omake (vol 15). Assistants wish to know her measurements, impressed with her curvy figure, but [[Word of God|the author]] "crushes their dreams" by stating the lieutenant's waist simply looks small between her muscular shoulders and age-appropriate voluminous behind.
* ''[[Naruto]]'': Since Sakura Haruno has [[Pettanko|very small breasts]], she gets some compensation in regards to her backside, which is huge. (maybe to contrast with [[Buxom Is Better|the more busty Tsunade]] and Hinata.) [[
* Cecilia Alcott from ''[[Infinite Stratos]]'' has a huge butt, and it gained notoriety after an episode put her in a Playboy bunny suit that [https://imgur.com/rgbknVC seriously flattered it]. Quite a bit of her fanart focuses on it and she earned a [[Fan Nickname]] of sorts on "SeSHIRIa", with "shiri" meaning "butt" in Japanese (And written in kanji so it stands out).
* [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Misato Katsuragi's]] butt [https://web.archive.org/web/20111002115707/http://www.evacommentary.org/episode-02/02_C130_big.jpg is quite impressive], and is most apparent when she's in her apartment and hanging around wearing daisy dukes. This is taken further in ''End Of Evangelion'' where she's walking down a hallway giving orders on her phone, [[Male Gaze|and the camera is focused intently on her booty.]]
Line 56 ⟶ 59:
* The opening sequence and episode three of ''[[Arpeggio of Blue Steel]]'' feature copious amounts of [http://i422.photobucket.com/albums/pp305/K9Thefirst1/Not%20Proud/Kirishima-FlagshipofMyHeart_zps71c086d2.png Kirishima's finely shaped behind], almost to the point of [[Ms. Fanservice]] levels. Most likely because they knew {{spoiler|that this would be their only chance to show her off}}.
* ''[[Yuri!!! on Ice]]'' has a special delight on showing the backside of its characters, but the most notorious examples are the several occasions with Victor's naked butt in the onsen, and how both of Christophe Giacometti's skate programs have a particular emphasis on showing off his shapely posterior (complete with self-grabbing).
* Mt. Lady from ''[[My Hero Academia]]'' seems [[Attention Whore| to encourage this.]]
== [[Art]] ==
* [[wikipedia:Venus Kallipygos|Venus Kallipygos]]. The name means "beautiful buttocks".
* The painting "Oh! Calcutta! Calcutta!" by [[w:Clovis Trouille|Clovis Trouille]], whose title is a pun on the French "O quel cul t'as!" (which means "What an ass you have!") and not unexpectedly depicts a nude woman from the rear.
* [[Boris Vallejo]] often emphasizes this part of a woman's body in his work; he has said in commentary that the lower body is the part he enjoys painting the most.
Line 108 ⟶ 112:
* In ''[[Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy]]'', the entire Newsteam has some intense [[Perverse Sexual Lust]] for Veronica. Just to drive the point home, about half of her early scenes involve the guys gushing about her shapely butt.
*The reveal that [[Iron Man 2|Natalie Rushman]] is the [[Black Widow]] is when she marches into frame in her [[Spy Catsuit]] with [[Scarlett Johansson]]'s fantastic backside the main focus.
* Ahem, ''[[Suicide Squad (film)|Suicide Squad]]''. The scenes where the camera seemed focused on Harley's derrière were obviously intentional. But then, she was likely the only redeeming part of the movie.
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* In-universe example; in ''[[Frasier]]'', Niles has quite an interest in Daphne's rear end, and is frequently given to [[Covert Pervert|covertly staring at it with a dreamy smile on his face]].
** Lampshaded in a later episode after they get together, in which Daphne is mildly scandalized to discover photographic evidence of [[Running Gag|just how frequently]] her now-husband checked her out before they hooked up and, turning around, demands that he tell her the colour of her eyes without looking. Niles is, of course, distracted by her butt.
* Wash's description of Zoe's attributes in the ''[[Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]'' episode "Bushwhacked": "Oh, yeah! I definitely have to say it was her legs. You can put that down! Her legs, '''and right where her legs meet her back'''. That -- actually that whole area. That and -- and above it."
* [[House]] makes constant references to Dr. Cuddy's hindquarters, although the compliments are decidedly double-edged:
{{quote|'''Cuddy:''' I can't always be here to protect you. Patients talk. Doctors talk.
Line 150 ⟶ 155:
'''J.D. (thinking)''': ''Your butt looks like two pringles hugging.''
'''J.D.''': No you don't. }}
* In the ''[[Married... with Children]]'' episode "Her Cups Runneth Over", Al stares at the attractive female shopkeeper's behind and quips, "Let's see the Japanese build a better one of ''those''."
* Brazil's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_Bumbum Miss Bumbum pageant]. No, seriously, [["Not Making This Up" Disclaimer|this is real]], it's a beauty pageant where the contestants are judged on who has the best ass, and ironically, the biggest controversy surrounding it was a judge suspected of taking bribes. For the record, a lot of stuff on Brazilian TV is even ''more'' risque.
* In-universe, [[She-Hulk]]; Jenn was complimented on her ass by a civilian once in ''[[She-Hulk: Attorney at Law]]''.
* Jokes about Margaret's behind are common on ''[[M*A*S*H (television)|M*A*S*H ]]'', suggesting quite a few of the male members of the cast focus on it.
== [[Music]] ==
Line 249 ⟶ 256:
** Sylvia gets a decent amount of focus on her backside in several of her many different outfits, one being a see-through slight midriff bearing top with a small low rise skirt and visible thong (In one cutscene, Travis walks behind her, bends over, and spends a good few seconds gawking at her ass), and her Very Sweet Mode outfit in the first game that puts a lot of emphasis on her behind with a very tight skirt as well as pantyhose.
** Cloe Walsh from the sequel as well, which is natural for someone whose main attire is fishnets and a thong bikini. Hell, the finishing move on her gives you a close up on her jiggling asscheeks as she's being hacked to pieces.
* ''[[ARMS]]'' is a fighting game where the player can easily view this part of the character they are controlling, and Twintelle not only has a firm behind with tight pants, she often seems to be purposely flaunting it with her hands on her hips (she fights with her [[Prehensile Hair]], not needing to use her firsts), almost to the point of [[Third-Person Seductress]].
* The Amazon in ''[[Dragon's Crown]]''; she's far from the only [[Shameless Fanservice Girl]] in the game, but if you choose to use her (and you likely have, as she and the Dwarf are the characters recommended for beginner players) you quickly find this part of her body is emphasized the most, almost to the point were you wonder if [[Third-Person Seductress| she's ''trying'' to get you to focus on it]]. Especially since, if unarmed, [[Ass Kicks You|she uses it to strike her foes.]]
*Samus Aran's ass from ''[[Metroid]]'' is one of her finest physical attributes, and this from a woman who already has the complete package of raw feminine sex appeal. This is especially apparent in ''Metroid: Zero Mission'' (where 2 cutscenes put prominent focus on her amazingly firm and tight ass), the ''[[Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros]].'' games, and ''[[Metroid: Other M]]'' (where almost all cutscenes in her Zero Suit find her backside taking up a large chunk of the screen). Surprisingly enough, even ''Metroid Dread'' has this as well, where even her Power Suit is sleek, sexy, and ''very'' form-fitting in that game, and [https://imgbox.com/sQQ9PS0l her armored rear often ends up in the center of many cutscene camera shots.]
== [[Web Comics]] ==
Line 301 ⟶ 309:
* Male example with ''[[The Penguins of Madagascar]]'''s King Julien; he constantly talks about his own "booty" and shows it off.
* Every member of the [[Kick Buttowski|Buttowski]] family has a prominent butt.
* An episode of ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' has a woman whose butt swagger is so prominent that she actually slams a door shut using just her ass.
** [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]]!
* ''[[Assy McGee]]''
Line 310 ⟶ 318:
* Both [[Black Widow (comics)|Natasha]] and [[The Wasp|Janet]] get a ''lot'' of scenes in ''[[The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes]]'' where the "camera" seems intent on focusing on this part of them.
* Ashi from season 5 of ''[[Samurai Jack]]''. This is the part of her many fans notice first, and one of the reasons Aku's [[Memetic Mutation| "EXTRA THICK!"]] meme (that had first appeared in an episode almost 20 years earlier) was (and still is) often applied to her.
* Rogue from ''[[X-Men: The Animated Series]]''. Discussions on her role in this series will almost certainly include [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzBFsdu-TM0 this scene] sooner or later. Fans absolutely ''freaked out'' when they edited it out for syndication.
