* Political advertisements

** [[Sarah Palin]]'s [http://i51.tinypic.com/2aes0hy.jpg advertisement ]

* Sarah Haskins shows off her comedic muscle [http://i52.tinypic.com/2nw1z5t.jpg/ here] in a promotional image that was circulating with her interviews.

 

 

* [[Alex Ross]] did an oddball variant of this with [[Plastic Man]], as seen [https://web.archive.org/web/20131024084950/http://www.poster.net/ross-alex/ross-alex-plastic-man-9907194.jpg here.]

 

* Charlie from ''[[Mystery Team]]''

* ''[[Joe Dirt]]'' - Where both Jaime Pressly and Brittany Daniel are more toned than David Spade, but that doesn't stop his titular character from saying stuff like [http://i53.tinypic.com/hwx09g.jpg/ "Watch the guns, baby"] or [http://i54.tinypic.com/szv6og.jpg/ "Say it in the microphone."]

* Maruti from ''[[The Return of Hanuman]]'' does this when he is signing up to a school.

 

* In one host segment in ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' after the movie ''[[Space Mutiny]]'', Crow is inspired to start working out by the movie's handsome bodybuilding hero, but has a barely noticeable and kind of pathetic bicep bump by the end of his set. Then comes Servo, who has become incredibly large and muscular after one squat thrust.

* In the pilot episode of ''[[Game of Thrones]]'' ten year-old Bran does this when the king asks him to "show us your muscles".

 

== [[Professional Wrestling]] ==

* Steven Regal used to do a routine where he'd flex, nothing would happen, and then he'd use his finger to push a "bicep" up. The funny part being that Regal was only non-muscular as compared to the other wrestlers, and that he was legitimately tougher than almost all of them.

 

* Pictured above is a scene from ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'''s ''Meet the Scout'', where the Scout "flexes" his arms and acts very proud of his muscles even though there's literally no bulge whatsoever. He does this in attempts to attract women in several supplementary comics as well. It... never works, unfortunately for him.

* ''[[Punch-Out!!]]'''s Glass Joe would do this if he won, [[Warmup Boss|but he never wins]]. [[The Angry Video Game Nerd|Unless you're using the Power Glove]].

* ''[[Jak and Daxter The Precursor Legacy]]'' will sometimes pull this one with Daxter when the player acquires a Power Cell. He also tries to impress Keira with it, but of course to little effect.

 

* ''[[Bugs Bunny]]'' would get the "hammock" effect described above every single time.

** Not every time. On some occasions he would get a comically-small bulge.
