* In the ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]'' anime series, Umi has to wear a ''very'' [[Stripperiffic]] odalisque outfit [[Go-Go Enslavement|when captured by the Chizeta princesses]], and one of the reasons why she's NOT happy to dress up in it is that she's sure she's put on weight lately.

* One scene in ''[[The Incredibles]]'' has Helen (aka Elastigirl) break into Syndrome's base, notice a mirror, and stop to look at herself, turning to focus on her behind. She doesn't say anything, but the brief pout is more than enough to invoke the Trope.

** This trope was used in another Sunday strip around the same year; Daryl and Zoe are playing the game where the parent says "How big is my baby? Soooo big!" Wanda, not realizing what they're doing, happens to walk in on them, asking how her butt looked in a pair of jeans, to which Daryl inadvertently responds "Sooooo big!" This, of course, has a hilariously violent result for poor Daryl.

Dagwood responds by asking whether she means from the waist up or from the waist down, which he insists is a legitimate question. Blondie doesn’t get mad but agrees with the saleswoman that she shouldn’t have brought her husband along.

* The [[Loading Ready Run]] video [http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/20/Is-this-a-Date Is This A Date?], in the style of a dating show, demonstrates three ''very bad'' responses to this question.
