Line 8:
Off duty, they're frequently romantically [[Pair the Spares|paired with minor characters]], or can be the [[Girl of the Week]]. They're invariably female, although a token male junior bridge officer may be sufficiently intimidated by them to serve as [[Plucky Comic Relief|Comic Relief]]. Token males in this position will also likely be [[Ho Yay|swinging their bat the other way]], unless someone else on the crew fills that role.
Less common in Western shows these days, where bridge personnel are more likely to be competent professional officers of ''both'' sexes. Women on the bridge aren't necessarily [[Bridge Bunnies]] ''per se'', nor are junior officers doing menial jobs... but [[
A specialized version of [[Mission Control]], with all the twists therein possibly applicable. They occasionally serve as [[Those Two Guys|Those Two Girls]], [[Greek Chorus|commenting on the action]] and what's going to happen next.
Line 31:
* ''[[Gundam Seed Destiny]]'': the lone female bridge bunny (Miriallia Haw aka Milly who was also one in the previous series) plays a relatively large role in the story. In the original ''[[Gundam Seed]]'', after going from [[Rich Bitch]] to [[Fallen Princess]], Fllay Alster becomes a bridge bunny under Natarle Badgiruel's orders in the ''Dominion''. The Archangel, meanwhile has the female (acting) captain Murrue, Milly herself, and a group of male bridge bunnies leaded (sorta) by Sai Argyle. {{spoiler|All of the Dominion bunnies, along with Natarle and including Fllay, get killed in the final battle when Le-Creuset blows up their escape pod for the kicks. The Archangel ones survive.}}
* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'' had Sayla Mass, Frau Bow, and Mirai Yashima (who actually was the pilot of the ship, making her [[The Lancer]] to [[The Captain]] Bright Noa). Sayla eventually gets promoted from Bridge Bunny to fighter pilot. Subverted in ''[[Zeta Gundam]]'', where the bridge bunnies that helped Captain [[Gentle Giant|Henken Beckner]] and later Captain Bright are ''male''.
* ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'': Amy Limietta for the Asura in the first two seasons. The third season has Shario Fineeno, Alto Claette and Lucino Lilie for [[Mission Control|Long Arch]]. In both cases, the commanding officer is also female, along with [[
* Most of Kaiba's monitoring staff during the Battle City tournament and Kaiba Corp Grand Prix arcs (and they All. Looked. The. Same. Except for their [[Hair Colors]]). Hilariously lampshaded in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]'':
