Best Known for the Fanservice: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''"[[Roger Ebert]] felt [[Elvira Mistress of the Dark|Elvira]]'s appearance was worth mentioning in his review, but I suspect he had a minimum word count to meet before his review went to press, and if you’re going to break out the shovel to up the word count, you might as well talk about the chick with the great rack."''|'''[[The Agony Booth (Website)|The Agony Booth]]''' recap of ''[http://www.agonybooth.com/movies/Tribute_to_Burt_Reynolds_Hal_Needham.aspx?Page=5 Stoker Ace]''}}

This is the common tendency for [[Fan Service]] to overshadow everything else about a work, regardless of the amount that actually occurs in it (sometimes the most remembered bit of [[Fan Service]] actually comes from promotional materials, which [[Never Trust a Trailer|don't accurately depict what actually happens in the show]]). At the extreme end, it becomes [[All There Is to Know About The Crying Game]]... with boobs. This can be so powerful and effective in Hollywood that the [[Hollywood Hype Machine]] will go into overdrive and make an actress who bared all (or most) of herself an instant, overnight household name. Don't laugh- [[American Pie|Shannon Elizabeth]] and [[Wild Things|Denise Richards]] got ''years'' of movie roles because of this trope.

For the more romantic equivalent, see [[Most Fanfic Writers Are Girls]]. See also [[Freud Was Right]]. When a viewer looks at a work specifically to see the stripper, they're [[Just Here for Godzilla]]. See also [[Fanservice Extra]] and [[Dancing Bear]]. [[One Scene Wonder]] is a similar phenomenon, but mostly unrelated.

{{examples|Examples:}}

* [[Nisemonogatari]], the sequel to ''[[Bakemonogatari (Light Novel)|Bakemonogatari]]'', has several interesting characters with very witty fast cut dialogue, amazing visuals and [[Akiyuki Shinbo]]'s unique directing style, not to mention the subtext of the meaning of original and imitation regarding everyday life. But you will all fondly recall the moment where you nearly died of laughter or shame when Koyomi brushed Karen's teeth and it was supposed to [[Does This Remind You of Anything|remind you of something]].

* [[In Universe]], Jade lampshaded this in ''[[Green Lantern]]'' when she laments that ''everyone'' saw her spread in ''Bikini Magazine''. (Of course, it's kinda hard to forget a [[Green Skinned Space Babe|green-skinned babe]] in a bikini, but that's besides the point.)

* The only thing anyone seems to remember about the ''[[Friday the 13 th (Film)|Friday the 13 th]]'' remake was the rather gratuitous sex scene halfway through.

** It's also about [[Jennifer Connelly]] dressed up [[Everythings Better With Princesses|as a princess in very flattering and form-fitting gowns at various moments]].

** And the [[Green Skinned Space Babe|green chick]] and Uhura in their underwear.

* Never mind Tim Roth doing a [[Money Dear Boy]] role, ''[[Virgin Territory]]'' is all about Hayden Christensen making whoopee with naughty nuns-and Mischa Barton baring her boobs.

* The ''[[Star Trek the Original Series (TV)|Star Trek]]'' episode "The Menagerie" is often remembered for being "[[The One With]] the [[Green Skinned Space Babe|green chick]]." [[SF Debris]] puts it best:

* Inverted in [[Lady Gaga]]'s "Telephone". The video is so full of [[Fan Service]] and [[Fetish Fuel]] that [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|Everybody Remembers]] [[What Do You Mean Its Not Awesome|the Sandwich]].

* [[Equus|That play]] where [[Hey Its That Guy|Harry Potter]] is naked.

** And moving beyond ''XIII'', even though we don't know much about ''[[Final Fantasy Versus XIII (Video Game)|Final Fantasy Versus XIII]]'' yet, most of the talk about it is fangirls swooning over Noctis. [[Even the Guys Want Him]], though... Others saw the trailer and remember it as [[Lonely Piano Piece|that]] [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|one]] [[Bishounen|trailer]] [[Battle in The Rain|that]] [[Supernatural Martial Arts|tries]] [[Opera|way]], [[Implausible Fencing Powers|way]] [[Camera Tricks|too]] [[Slouch of Villainy|hard]] [[What Do You Mean Its Not Awesome|to be cool]].

* The way some people talk about ''[[Mass Effect]]'', you'd think the game is nothing but [[Rated M for Money|full-on]] [[Green Skinned Space Babe|alien lesbian sex]]...[[Cowboy Bebop At His Computer|that never actually happens]]. As a meta-example, it seems like the only thing the die-hard fans care about is the romances.

** Likewise, ''[[Magicians Quest Mysterious Times]]'' is known for being both an "''[[Animal Crossing (Video Game)|Animal Crossing]]'' clone" and "an ''[[Animal Crossing (Video Game)|Animal Crossing]]'' clone where you can be gay". ''[[Harvest Moon]] Cute'' is also somewhat infamous within the fandom for the [[Romantic Two Girl Friendship]] [[Gay Option]] that was taken out of the international versions.

* The trope "[[But You Screw One Goat]]", is the punchline of a joke that owes its humor as much if not more to the trope under discussion here than the one that actually bears its name.

* As the show's [[TV Tropes]] page (and Laconic description) will tell you, ''[[Time Squad]]'' is merely (from the Laconic description): "[[Cartoon Network]]'s 26-episode juggernaut of [[Ho Yay]], [[Freud Was Right]], [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]], and [[Does This Remind You of Anything]] moments. And, [[My Friends and Zoidberg|oh yes]], [[Time Travel]]."
