{{quote|''"It's like living inside a bouncy castle!"''|'''Cassandra!Rose''' (New Earth), ''[[Doctor Who]]''}}
Line 26:
* Plentiful in ''[[Gravion]]'' (which provides this page's picture), especially with [[Ms. Fanservice|Mizuki Tachibana]], who bounces considerably with the slightest movement, even ''swallowing''.
** Gainaxing is a signature of Gravion's creator, Masami Obari, present in his works, including the Fatal Fury anime adaptions and Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer, in which it's put to the utmost extreme.
* ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' has the character Faye Valentine, who is breathtakingly beautiful with gigantic pneumatic breasts that seem to have minds of their own. She also almost invariably dresses in a manner that would, in any American city in the late 20th Century, cause everyone who saw her to conclude immediately that she is a streetwalker. Canon indicates that she does this on purpose [[Distracted Byby the Sexy|to distract men]]. On one occasion, she wears a perfectly normal evening gown.
* The seventh ''[[One Piece]]'' movie had the girls bounce from doing absolutely ''anything''. Hell, in a few scenes, Nami will simply be standing around, perfectly still, and her boobs will just randomly bounce quite forcefully all on their own. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QodpMgXGqAo See for yourself].
** Used again slightly more subtly during the Spa Island [[Filler]] Arc. Also [[Stupid Sexy Flanders|Chick Ivankoff]]. In the latter case, wheter it's [[Fan Service]] [[Attractive Bent Gender|or]] [[Brain Bleach|not]] [[Fetish Fuel|is up to you]].
Line 32:
** Also used in the tenth One Piece movie when Nami runs down some stairs.
*** Of course, this actually does happen if you run down stairs incautiously, especially without a really good bra. ''And it hurts a lot.''
* ''[[Gun BusterGunbuster]]'' (called [[Fan Nickname|"Bustgunner"]] by some fans) and ''[[Otaku no Video]]'' from Gainax are the two productions which allegedly inspired the term.
** Perhaps ironically, ''Gunbuster'' actually features what can be considered ''as close to realistic as possible'' physics for the bouncing breasts. Noriko's bounced so much mainly because she moved around a lot even when she wasn't wearing a bra.
* Just about any female character in the various ''[[Burn Up]]'' animes.
* Mune-mune in Gainax's ''[[Abenobashi Mahou Shoutengai (Anime)|Abenobashi Mahou Shoutengai]]'' is a deliberate parody -- right down to her name, which actually translates as "Tits-Tits".
** [[Squick|And]] [[Fan Disservice|she's]] [[Older Than They Look|the main character's]] {{spoiler|''[[Dead All Along|late]] [[Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!|grandmother]]''.}}
* Kurono Kurumu in ''[[Rosario to Vampire|Rosario + Vampire]]''. The movement of her breasts even produces audible sounds! And in episode 4, Kurumu's fat stalker (or rather, his belly).
* Chapter 95 of the manga ''[[Mx 0Mx0]]'' plays this trope for satire with a magical liquid that makes some (already extremely buxom) girls' breasts experience only 1/6 normal gravity. The result is a ''lot'' of bouncing, first from falling, then from wind, then an earthquake.
* ''[[To Love Ru (Manga)|To Love Ru]]'' seems overly fond of this. Espically Lala. Just watch the OVA opening, 1 minute and 30 seconds of pure bounce.
* Every female character that appears in the various ''[[Ranma One Half]]'' motion pictures -- even the ones who are supposed to be small-breasted. This contrasts with the main series where they never seem to move at all, since the show is kind of old and didn't have a huge budget.
** Especially since the characters are considerably ''less'' endowed in the television series.
* The sheer quantity of gainaxing found in the anime ''[[Plastic Little]]'' inspired [[ADV Films|ADV]], the North American distributor/dub house, to include an on-screen "Jiggle Count" meter as one of the special features in their DVD release.
* The anime ''[[Shinkon Gattai Godannar]]'' takes Gainaxing to the extreme, since even the mecha have breasts (and in one particular case, ''both'' the mecha and the pilot have humongous ''jiggling'' breasts). The only exception to this is Lou, the show's [[Token Mini-Moe]].
* Taeko and a few others in ''[[Ai Yori Aoshi (Manga)|Ai Yori Aoshi]]''.
* Practically every female role in ''[[Divergence Eve]]'' and its follow-up. It may be noted that outside of this and the [[Fan Service|fanservicey]] opener and closer, the series is remarkably serious in tone and tells its story in blissful.
* Caldina in ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]''.
Line 62:
** And for extra Gainaxing, she uses her bounce to execute an [[Unorthodox Reload]], which always gets plenty of [[Male Gaze]].
* The [[Fan Vid|AMV]] "[http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=7660 The Fanservice Video: Bouncing Back For More]" by Zarxrax is dedicated to this effect.
* Almost every female character in the anime ''[[Girls Bravo (Manga)|Girls Bravo]]''.
* Naga the White Serpent, from ''[[The Slayers]]''.
** It almost got her killed once, her rack sprang back into shape after being pressed against a wall, nearly launching her over a cliff.
Line 69:
* A certain animation team in the rotation for ''[[Digimon Savers]]'' used this technique on Rosemon, and it's probably not a coincidence that they animated BioLotusmon's only appearance.
** It's worth noting that before ''Savers'', the only minor use of this trope was in the second ''Tamers'' movie -- Sakuyamon's bounce a bit when she's freed from a Parasimon tentacle.
* Siesta from ''[[Zero no Tsukaima (Light Novel)|Zero no Tsukaima]]'', pictured [[media:cit_zero_no_tsukaima_2_behold_the_power_of_siesta.gif|here]]. You're probably not looking at the [[Love Bubbles]] surrounding her.
** Not to mention Kirche the Ardent.
** Siesta is ''nothing'' compared to Tiffania, who barely has to ''move'' to set her breasts bouncing around like [[Flubber]].
** Used to great hilarity in one episode when the gang is trapped in a cave. They hear something approaching fast and prepare for a fight, until Saito realizes exactly what that sound is with a priceless look on his face while the viewers get the obligatory chest shot of the approaching Siesta (who's wearing the Sailor Fuku outfit Saito bought earlier).
* Mai from ''[[Mai-HiME (Anime)|Mai-HiME]]'' dresses conservatively, but her somewhat large (but not [[Gag Boobs]]-level) chest still has a bit of bounce to it. A scene early in the anime replicated during an argument with Yuuichi and Shiho gives them an audible "boing". According to [[All There in the Manual|supplemental materials]], it's not even Mai who has the largest bustline. She's beaten out ever-so-slightly by ''Haruka'', who ''doesn't'' have a whole lot of bounce, but still looks good in a [[Beach Episode|swimsuit]].
* ''[[Macross Frontier]]'' features a whole raft of characters with sufficiently Gainaxed breasts, including Sheryl and the Miss Macross Frontier contestants (which makes [[A -Cup Angst|Ranka]] uncomfortable.) Also, ''zero gravity bouncing''. Very unique.
** Interestingly the show also subverts the trope slightly: when a fully sized, thirty-foot-tall Zentraedi, Klan Klein has a rather terrifying bust that may actually be capable of ''killing'' a normal-sized human. Micronized, however, she doesn't possess anything that can ''be'' Gainaxed.
* ''[[Read or Die (Anime)|R.O.D. TV]]'' had one particularly infamous chase sequence where Nenene finally finds her long lost friend ([[Les Yay|love?]]) Yomiko Readman. Yomiko runs away and Nenene gives chase. As they sprint, their bosoms (which had been largely still until then) bounce and sway like jello earthquakes. It's also worth noting that Yomiko's bustline went from a mild C-Cup in the OVA well into DD territory for the TV series, set several years later. A late blooming?
** It isn't just the chase scene. Watch Nenene's bosom in the first episode. They ripple like water.
* This happens to Milly and Shirley during one of the [[School Festival]] activity episodes in ''[[Code Geass]]'' and to Kallen, the most noticeable example being her encounter with Suzaku on Kamine Island. You'd think that Kallen, having one of the larger chests of the female characters featured on the show as well as being the most physical girl, would get ''a lot'' more of this during the action sequences but the total count reaches no more than a handful.
Line 84:
* Surprisingly, several girls in the ''[[Saiyuki]]'' anime jiggle around in action, even though the show is mostly fangirl fodder.
** Then again, ''Saiyuki'' was originally marketed as [[Shonen]].
* Done poorly with Bekira in ''[[Wagaya no OinarisamaOinari-sama.]]''. Kind of [[Lampshaded]] by Noboru taking a quick glance at Kou's assets for comparison. Subverted later on when it turns out those weren't actually her breasts.
* Parodied and [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in an anime-original [[RPG Episode]] of ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler (Manga)|Hayate the Combat Butler]]'' where the bouncing boobs of the RPG game's boss is focused on constantly and has a sound so audible a character points out that she hears the sound of the bouncing from a considerable distance away.
* In ''[[Akane-iroIro Nini Somaru Saka]]'''s eighth episode, whenever the camera focuses on Tsukasa, her breasts appear to take on a life of their own. The first scene, which is just a profile shot of her laughing, has them bouncing up and down like crazy.
* In one episode of ''[[Naruto]],'' the seriousness of Gaara transforming [[Narm|is lost]] thanks to Temari's inexplicable Gainaxing, which is something that no character in the show had really shown before or since (even Tsunade, who despite having a bustline greater than a meter, no bra, and a very active combat style, has her breasts remain perfectly stable).
** It appears as though you haven't seen 106cm [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny7Fni193Jk\] (bad quality)
Line 92:
* ''[[Eiken]]'' has a ridiculous amount of Gainaxing happening in almost every scene. Chief among the guilty are Kirika and [[Token Mini-Moe]] Komoe, who quite literally bounces part of the opening credits on her chest.
* Margery Daw in ''[[Shakugan no Shana]]'''s [[Festival Episode]].
* Junko Asagiri from ''[[Desert Punk (Mangamanga)|Desert Punk]]'', during the end credits.
** [[Gag Boobs|And, you know, everywhere else.]]
* Rosette does this in the third episode of ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'' -- unfortunately bad animation makes it look as if she had bags filled with water instead of breasts.
Line 105:
* Miyuki in ''[[Basquash]]'', who has her bouncing breasts take up the entire screen for a good few seconds.
** Which is taken to the next level with Haruka Gracia, who we get to see jiggle on three separate occasions before actually seeing her face.
* Check the [[Beach Episode]] of ''[[Please Teacher (Anime)|Please Teacher]]''.
* In the ''[[Makai Senki Disgaea]]'' anime, we have Jennifer, the female assistant of Captain Gordon, '''Defender of Earth!'''. The sight of her chest bouncing is enough to make Laharl sick.
* Team coach Momoe from ''[[Ookiku Furikabutte]]''.
* ''[[Green Green]]'', to a truly ''ridiculous'' extent.
* In the same vein as Mikuru and ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' above, Kyou Fujibayashi of ''[[Clannad (Visual Novel)|Clannad]]'' Gainaxes like mad in the opening credits of the first season, ''while bouncing a basketball''.
** Kotomi also does so in the [[Baseball Episode]].
* Also on the same vein, [[Otaku Surrogate|Patricia Martin]] displays it during while cheerleading in the opening [[Dancing Theme]].
* The ''[[Shuffle]]'' OVA had Sia and Asa Gainax within the first three minutes. Then when Sia's dad replaces the water in the pool with [[Naughty Tentacles|eels]], Nerine does as well.
* The anime of ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro Nini]]'' gave most of the women and girls a bad tendency to do this, which would be fine if this were a comedy series. Unfortunately, Umineko [[Kill'Em All|is]] [[Mind Screw|not]] [[Paranoia Fuel|a]] [[Psychological Horror|comedy series]]. Poor Shannon has the worst of it. Every time she makes a sudden movement or reacts to something, her boobs also react, with a single bounce.
* In ''[[Bleach]]'', Rangiku's breasts bounce when she is frightened by Capt. Hitsugaya's intrusion. She even says that they almost popped out of her robe.
** When Orihime was about to change (in front of Uryu, [[Innocent Fanservice Girl|uncaringly]]), her breasts just flopped down from her shirt. In the video games, she demonstrates this as well.
** [[Elegant Gothic Lolita|Cirucci]] [[Evil Is Sexy|Thunderwitch]] has a blink-and-you-missed-it one in an [[Omake]].
* Even one of the more serene shows, ''[[Umi Monogatari]]'', gets a chance to indulge in this trope. Oshima, Kanon's rival, is flaunting her own bust size, when [[The Messiah|Marin]] comes running up to greet her. Marin, already halfway to being an [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]], is not wearing a bra. The results leave Oshima stunned.
* [[Gag Boobs|Nodoka]] of ''[[Saki (Mangamanga)|Saki]]'' says hi. Just the simple act of walking could get her breasts jiggling.
** A critic from [[Anime News Network]] once noticed that her entire wardrobe is sewn in just the right way for her shirts to perfectly cup her chest.
* This happens in episode 19 of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist|Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood]]''; for unexplainable reasons beyond pointing out that Havoc likes big boobs, Lust's boobs bounce considerably.
* Mii in ''[[Jungle Dede Ikou!]]'' Gainaxes quite a bit, thanks in part to her huge rack (Mii's breasts are supposed to represent Earth's life-giving energy); this is taken to a somewhat absurd level when Mii uses her powers to turn into a giant.
* [[Highschool of the Dead]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hB_3hZqE04\] combines [[Gainaxing]] with [[Bullet Time]]. ''[[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|And it is ridiculously awesome!]]''
* Another Studio Gainax creation, ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', would always promise "more fanservice" in the next episode. Strangely, this was the one time Studio Gainax ''didn't'' follow this trope: the show did have a fair amount of tongue-in-cheek fanservice, but its overall animation style was less "cartoony" and trying to be photo-realistic, so unrealistic "breasts bouncing around like water balloons" didn't really happen that often.
Line 133:
* Bouquet in the ''[[The Anime of the Game|Blue Dragon]]'' series. Combined with [[Ms. Fanservice]], as her powers only activate when she's naked.
* [[Highly-Visible Ninja|Kasuga]] from [[Sengoku Basara]] series (anime) not only gets bigger boobs than in the game, but they visibly bounce around when she moves quickly. Seeing her status as [[Ms. Fanservice]], it's not surprising.
* ''[[Ghost in Thethe Shell: Stand Alone Complex]]''. The first view we have of the [[Hospital Hottie]] who has come to give Major Kusanagi a new cyborg body is her bouncing breasts. The fanservice is increased tenfold when she starts making [[Les Yay]] comments while [[Creepy Physical|examining]] the [[Bi the Way]] Major. {{spoiler|Subverted in that she turns out to be [[Sickbed Slaying|an enemy planning to kill her]].}}
** Notably averted with the Major herself, however, whose admittedly generous breasts are artificial, like the rest of her body, and actually animated that way.
* ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Nini]]'' had this happening to Mion {{spoiler|(really Shion)}}. Like every other [[Fan Service]] trope used, [[Fan Disservice|it came off as seriously creepy]].
* [[Ladies Versusversus Butlers!]] is full of this, having ample fanservice moments. Sernia Iori Flameheart in particular, she even gets the sound effects, generally the other girls don't.
* [[Golden Boy]] did this quite a bit, especially in the first episode (from the owner of a computer software company).
* [[QueensQueen's Blade]] has this by the truckloads but episode nine of the first season is most appropriate example being a Cattleya centric episode
* [[Airmaster (Manga)|Airmaster]] Mina has plenty of this but she's a Subversion of [[Ms. Fanservice]] and her [[Gag Boobs|figure]] is played mostly for laughs as her breasts tend to bounce out of sync with the rest of her body and the movements are extremely exaggerated
* Chu's entire entourage in [[Mouse]], even the flat chested one.
* Done hilariously in the [[Beach Episode]] of ''[[Tokimeki Memorial|Tokimeki Memorial Only Love]]'' with swimming team captain Koayu Utsumi, whose [[Gag Boobs]] jiggle just from her merely looking around, complete with sound effects (and it doesn't help that it's getting all the attention of all the guys around, which she hates so much, and especially since she's on lifeguard duty at the time).
* Happens at one time or another to most of the female cast of the anime releases of the [[Koihime Musou]] franchise who have large breasts, especially to Kannu. Ryuubi even gets to do it on purpose later in the series to [[Distracted Byby the Sexy|lure someone into a trap]].
* The entire point of [[Training Withwith Hinako]].
* Haruhara Haruko in ''[[FLCL]]''. It is Gainax after all. Of particular note is the random bunny suit she wears during the big battle in episode 5.
* The eponymous Rio from ''[[Rio -Rainbow Gate!-]]'' has very bouncy assets, which get ample emphasis in the show. The fact that she dresses in an extremely revealing manner for a casino croupier, [[Bare Your Midriff|baring her midriff]] and [[Dangerously-Short Skirt|wearing an ultra-short skirt]], only exacerbates this.
* [[Played for Laughs]] in [[Seitokai Yakuindomo]] with Aria Ichijou. Being [[Ms. Fanservice]], her boobs jiggle on occasion, often to emphasize how [[A -Cup Angst|jealous the other girls are of her size]]. At one poimt, she ''willed them to bounce on their own'' when the discussion turned to them.
* [[Played for Laughs]] in the animated ''omake'' of [[Black Lagoon]], when Rock wakes up [[Gender Flip|as a woman]]... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoSMtWykUq8 "WITH HUGE BOOBS!"].
** In the series proper, Revy's very acrobatic [[Gun Fu]] causes this to occur during her fight scenes. More noticeable in some than others.
* ''[[Maicchingu Machiko Sensei]]'' was perhaps the first anime to do this, although the gainaxing in that show is tame by today's standards.
* Happens a bit in the ''[[Fairy Tail (Manga)|Fairy Tail]]'' anime with the various girls, most notably {{spoiler|[[She's All Grown Up|Edolas!Wendy]]}}.
* Seraphim often from ''[[Kore wa Zombie Desu Kaka?]]''
* [[Zig -Zagging Trope|Zigzagged]] between Takane and Azusa in the anime version of ''[[The Idolmaster (Animeanime)|THE iDOLM@STER]]''
* In chapter 117 of ''[[Black Cat (Mangamanga)|Black Cat]]'', one panel has Saya Minatsuki dodging Creed's slashes, causing her breasts to swing in visibly different directions. She's far from the bounciest female in the series, but she does seem like the kind of girl that would go without a bra in the comfort of her own home (which is where she was when that asshole Creed barged in on her).
* ''[[Maji Dede Watashi Nini Koi Shinasai (Visual Novel)!|Maji De Watashi Ni Koi Shinasai]]'' has Momoyo, whose [[Boobs of Steel]] defy gravity.
* [[Ms. Fanservice|Kurokami Medaka]] has this ''all the time'' in the [[Animated Adaptation]] of ''[[Medaka Box]]''. Complete with the bouncy sound effect. Well, it ''is'' a [[Studio Gainax]] anime...
* ''[[Seikon no Qwaser]]'' and ''[[Manyuu Hikencho]]'', takes this trope [[Up to Eleven]].
Line 165:
 
== Film ==
* A truly groan-worthy live action example in ''[[Transformers (Filmfilm)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]'', in which Mikaela (played by [[Megan Fox]]) bounces like Pamela Anderson on ''[[Baywatch]]'' in [[Michael Bay]] slow-motion in what is supposed to be a dead-serious escape sequence. However, given that the ''entire sequence'' is in slow motion, she is running for her life, and they only had ''one'' take, it's somewhat more understandable.
* A rather disturbing one is present in [[Despicable Me]], near the start. as {{spoiler|the fake pyramid deflates, the escaping air}} causes an old woman's saggy...[[Brain Bleach|well, you get the picture]].
* The Z-grade film ''Hollywood Hot Tubs'' had Crystal, whose entire reason for existence was jogging braless in every scene, even jogging in place [[Department of Redundancy Department|when standing still]].
Line 173:
** That would be the first one. It looks like it ought to violate the laws of physics and biology, probably a result of the decision to enhance Angelina Jolie's breasts.
** [[Word of God]] states that the only part of Angelina Jolie that actually had any padding at all while filming was her breasts.
* In the [[Uwe Boll]] film ''[[House of the Dead (Filmfilm)|House of the Dead]]'', Ona Grauer becomes outright pneumatic during a [[Outrun the Fireball|slow motion run during an explosion]]. Like Jell-O on springs, indeed.
* There are a couple of noteworthy sex scenes in ''[[Cabin Fever]]'' featuring [[Cerina Vincent]]'s magnificent milkmakers. But in particular, the second one involves a [[Toplessness From the Back|behind-the-back shot]] in which we can see an intense jiggle as she forcefully rides her lover du jour.
* In ''[[Zorro|The Legend of Zorro]],'' there's a scene where Catherine Zeta-Jones runs away from dogs in a low-cut dress. It's probably not intentional, given the shortness of the scene.
Line 179:
* Becky ([[Rosario Dawson]]) dancing on the roof of Mooby's in ''[[The View Askewniverse|Clerks II]]''. That is all.
** There's a less, uh, ''restrained'' example of her in [[Alexander the Great|Alexander]].
* ''[[Animalympics (Animation)|Animalympics]]'': one of Brenda Springer's scenes really could've ended slightly earlier than it did, but the animators apparently felt the shot wouldn't feel complete until all the jiggling stopped.
* Another particularly cringe-inducing example is when Caramon first realizes that Tika is a beautiful woman in the [[Sarcasm Mode|amazingly wonderful]] ''[[Dragonlance]]'' [[Animated Adaptation|film]].
* Surprisingly, there's a bit of Gainaxing in the [[Speed Racer (Filmfilm)|live-action Speed Racer movie]]. No, seriously, take a look at Trixie (Christina Ricci) when she runs into the room during the [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja|ninja fight scene]].
* Parodied in the [[Leslie Nielsen]] film ''[[Wrongfully Accused]]'' -- while the female lifeguards are running in slow motion, their breasts make comically audible bouncing sounds.
* ''[[Airplane!]]'' has a shot where we have a closeup on a wobbling jello plate while the plane is in turbulence, and then pans over to... well, [[Sarcasm Mode|just guess.]]
** Also, the scene where the passengers panic after the line "Does anyone know how to fly a plane?" has a topless woman appearing out of nowhere, jumping around close to the camera.
* ''[[G.I. Joe: theThe Rise of Cobra]]'' has a scene where the team is exercising in their gym, and Scarlett (Rachel Nichols) just happens to be jogging on a treadmill.
* Both Miss Scarlett and Yvette do this in ''[[Clue (Filmfilm)|Clue]]''.
* [[Star Wars]] [[A New Hope]] of all places. Suffice to say they eventually had to tape down Carrie Fisher.
* [[Eliza Dushku]] has had this in many of her roles, but special mention must go to her first [[Fan Service|topless scene]] in ''[[The Alphabet Killer (Film)|The Alphabet Killer]]''.
* ''Epic Movie'' does this with three different jogging people:
** The first one is a scantily-clad woman.
Line 198:
== Literature ==
* [[Lois McMaster Bujold]]'s ''[[Vorkosigan Saga|Diplomatic Immunity]]'' mentions the 'charming effect' zero-G has on the female form.
* In [[Arthur C. Clarke (Creator)]]'s ''[[Rendezvous With Rama]]'', Commander Norton notes how distracting women can be in zero-gravity, particularly if "sympathetic vibrations" occur.
* There is an interesting description of this happeneing to Big Boobied-Bertha in one of the ''[[How to Train Your Dragon (Literaturenovel)|How to Train Your Dragon]]'' books.
 
 
== Live Action TV ==
* ''[['Allo 'Allo (TV)!|Allo Allo]]'' -- let's just say "vibrating ice cream truck".
* Elaine on ''[[Ally McBeal]]'' invented a vibrating bra that would make the wearer's breasts twirl in circles.
* ''[[The Bill]]'' -- a couple of incidents described as "Bouncy Bouncy Jo Masters".
Line 213:
* ''[[Baywatch]].'' Kind of a given, what with the cast containing so many gorgeous women in form-fitting swimsuits.
** Referenced in ''[[Friends]]'': "See, this is the brilliance of the show. I say always keep them running. All the time, running. Run. Run Yasmine, run like the wind."
* There's a memorable (read: hot) scene in the second paintball episode of ''[[Community (TV)|Community]]'' which shows Annie running in slow motion. Bounce, bounce, bounce... ah...
* Long before Pam Anderson hit the beach, Lynda Carter perfected the art of running in slow-motion in a bustier in the 70s ''[[Wonder Woman (TV series)|Wonder Woman]]'' TV series. There is a reason why some say "the ''Baywatch'' run" was invented by this series. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSR6isVJaEA Observe]
* ''[[The Price Is Right]].'' Seriously. Don't believe me? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noggIParXOA&NR=1 Watch this].
* Elliot from ''[[Scrubs]]'' is pretty much the show's [[Ms. Fanservice]], and it often happens because she can be neurotic and excitable. A particularly notable one is when they are in a bar with J.D. and Turk playing a game, Elliot wants to play along too, saying [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtEVy_zjr9Y "Oh... Do me! Do me!" while jumping up and down].
** Also after her makeover in "My All American Girl", walking down the hallway... bounce... bounce...
* Kelly Bundy from ''[[Married... Withwith Children]]'' often did this whenever she got excited.
** Actually, most of the women (who weren't flat-chested like Marcy or fat like the many customers in Al's shoe store) on ''[[Married... Withwith Children]]'' gainaxed, from Peggy Bundy to the many [[Shallow Love Interest|shallow love interests]] Bud tried to score with.
* ''[[My Name Is Earl]]'' had Catalina's stripper act entirely just jumping up and down. Another episode featured a claymation Joy whose breasts moved independently of each other, much to Randy's fascination.
* This also often happened to Chrissy Snow from ''[[ThreesThree's Company]]'' whenever ''she'' got excited, resulting in the coinage of the term "[[Jiggle Show]]".
* ''[[Ghost Whisperer]]'' has taken numerous opportunities to have Jennifer Love Hewitt run in something low-cut. In fact she seems to find a way to introduce some jiggle to every project she's in, including the bra ads.
* Rachel Luttrell as Tayla Emmagan in Stargate Atlantis used to be known for this. Even in fight scenes. Especially in fight scenes! One director had her stop swinging a staff and * pose* in order to display her impressive chest to best effect.
* Nissan car commercial [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKO-tZGuFDg&feature=fvw\]
* A ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]'' rendition of "News Flash" resulted in, well... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Za1FuI-Zmdc Here you go].
* Despite having the page quote, ''[[Doctor Who]]'' is ''not'' an example, partly because it's live-action, and that would be impossible anyway. The line comes from when the character Cassandra, who'd been a flap of skin for the last few-hundred years, possesses Rose, and is rather enjoying her....assets. To be fair, she did the exact same thing when in the Doctor's body.
 
Line 275:
** It starts at Alpha 2 and Alpha 3 had the most extreme version of this (I'm looking at you Selena Recital). After that, the bounce is a bit more in line with realism. By Z, the bounce is fairly tame and looks fairly natural (which is impressive given Xine's impressive rack).
** In fact, there's a fan-made montage of these cutins in [[Super Robot Wars Z|Super Robot Wars Z2: Saisei-Hen]], set to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWHAeBODHec DYNAMITE EXPLOSION]
* ''[[Tales of Symphonia (Video Game)|Tales of Symphonia]]'' played with this with the well-endowed (but not shockingly so) female ninja Sheena. However, it's only most noticeable when using her as the party avatar walking around, and it's hard to spot normally (there are a couple of places where you can get a closer look and have her run in place). It's also present in the animated ending cutscreen on {{spoiler|Martel}}, the credits credit Gainax themselves for said animation.
* Queen Valentina from the original ''[[Super Mario RPG (Video Game)|Super Mario RPG]]'' had a conspicuously long after-hit animation that consisted solely of her flinching and jiggling for a few seconds.
** It's notable that the jiggling part lasts about 3 times longer than the flinch.
* April May in ''[[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney]]'' shook her stuff when flirting or when she got extremely pissed off.
** And then there's the [[So Bad It's Good|hilarious]] hentai game ''Phoenix Drive'', in which female characters' breasts spontaneously Gainax every few seconds, much as humans' eyes spontaneously blink.
* Jessica from ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]'', to the point where she distracts from the action taking place on screen whether you like it or not.
Line 286:
* No mention of ''Metal Gear'''s PSP [[Spin-Off]] ''Metal Gear Ac!d 2''? They even gave you ''3D goggles'' for it.
* The ''[[Tekken]]'' spinoff 'Death By Degrees'' has "breast physics" as its (only) selling point (along with [[Clothing Damage]] in boss fights).
* In ''[[Skies of Arcadia (Video Game)|Skies of Arcadia]]'', Belle, one of the crew members you can recruit, is rather bouncy. Especially since she's also a [[Genki Girl]] and source of much [[Innocent Fanservice Girl|Innocent Fanservice]]. Did we mention you can end up talking to her while she's [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|polishing an artillery shell]]?
* Fiona from ''[[Haunting Ground (Video Game)|Haunting Ground]]'' suffers this. Especially noticeable when you unlock some of her other very revealing outfits.
* Nearly every female character that isn't flat chested in ''[[Disgaea]]''.
* Marjoly in [[Rhapsody a Musical Adventure]]. It's especially noticable in her [[Villain Song]], "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S04aVglDlOc Evil Queen]".
Line 299:
** Magical Drop ''II''.
** In ''Magical Drop III'' (and to a lesser extent in the previous titles) nearly all of the female characters get this to some extent, but it's in nearly every animation for The World.
* This happens during the opening cutscene of ''[[Namco X Capcom (Video Game)|Namco X Capcom]]''. Really establishes the character being from ''[[Soul Calibur]]''.
** Speaking of [[Capcom vs. Whatever]], we had Rogue and Psylocke doing his when the Marvel crossovers really [[Incredibly Lame Pun|took off.]]
* Early ''[[Golden Sun (Video Game)|Golden Sun]] DS'' gameplay footage shows at least one summon with gainaxing.
* ''[[Blaz Blue]]'' has [[Chinese Girl|Lit]][[Hospital Hottie|chi]] [[Kick Chick|Faye]]-[[Meganekko|Ling]]. The resident [[Ms. Fanservice]], Litchi has an [[Gag Boobs|extremely large pair of knockers]] that [http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/6722/litchistand.gif bounce even when she's seemingly] ''[[Up to Eleven|standing still]]''. There's a reason she's called "[[Fan Nickname|Boobie Lady]]", you know.
** Also, fellow [[Ms. Fanservice]] [[Little Bit Beastly|Mak]][[Genius Ditz|oto]] [[Cute Bruiser|Nan]][[Hot-Blooded|aya]] [http://e621.net/data/6e/4c/6e4cdf316090dfb13e60228e40feadfd.gif?1304049473 has this going on], although to a [[A Worldwide Punomenon|lesser]] extent. As an added bonus, if her theme music is playing in the background, her boobs bounce to the rhythm!
* ''[[Tales of Vesperia (Video Game)|Tales of Vesperia]]'': Estelle wishes she could bounce like [[Ms. Fanservice|Judith]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukZgaevRyqY&feature=related Especially in the PS3-version.]
* Kongiku from ''[[Muramasa: theThe Demon Blade]]'' has very large breasts that tend to wobble and jiggle constantly, even when she's not doing much other than standing there, breathing. The jiggle isn't as exaggerated as the most extreme examples of this trope, but is quite noticeable.
* The priestess Rao in ''[[Okami (Video Game)Ōkami|Okami]]'' jiggles wildly every time you meet her, {{spoiler|including after she's [[Demonic Possession|possessed]] by the demon Ninetails}}. [[Chivalrous Pervert|Issun]] rarely refers to her as anything but "busty babe", even to her face.
** It's mentioned in the game's official art book that one of the programmers created a "bounce and sway program" with "great attention to detail" to get Rao's breasts to jiggle just right.
** Rao isn't the only one. There's the [[Stripperiffic]] wood sprite Sakuya, as well as the [[Seashell Bra|Draconian Dancers.]]
Line 314:
* Every single game from Japanese [[Eroge|H-game]] maker Illusion. Being strictly h-games they generally have controls that affect the size, shape, firmness, effects of gravity....
** Surprisingly, somehow they seem to have averted (mostly) in their latest game which uses a different, much more realistic ([[Uncanny Valley|for varying degrees of realistic]]) engine versus their traditional anime-esque style games. There is still bounce, but much less Gainaxey.
* In one cutscene in ''[[Batman: Arkham Asylum]]'', Batman tackles the newly [[Stripperiffic]] Harley Quinn by jumping on her through a pane of glass, causing her breasts to jiggle slightly.
* Evident on ''[[Primal]]'s'' [[Transformation Sequence|Transformation Sequences]]. Especially when Jenn turns into a Wraith, which causes her breasts bounce faster than normally.
* Dr. Naomi in ''[[No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle]]'' has a preposterous bounce animation triggered when the player speaks to her in the laboratory. The self-awareness of this is heightened by Naomi's comment, 'Quit staring at me! I know what you're thinking-- and NO!' a nod to the fact that she appears to have ''grown'' since the first game in the series and been put in an impossibly small top. It is a simply wonderful piece of [[Fan Service]].
** It's also found in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqaz1kDz14w intro] to Pure White Lover Bizarre Jelly, a parody of [[Magical Girl|Magical Girls]] and [[Moe]].
* [[Ms. Fanservice]] Kasuga from ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'' previously never displayed this despite sporting some impressive [[Absolute Cleavage]]. However the latest game corrected this with subtle yet realistic bouncing, as did the anime series (where her breasts are much larger than normal and it was not all subtle).
* Being based on the [[WWE]], it's a given with the licensed games. It does get hilarious in one of the older [[PSPlay Station 2]] games, when you encounter them in cutscenes and their breasts jiggle noticeably every time they revert to their default position between dialog lines.
* In ''[[Tokimeki Memorial|Tokimeki Memorial Taisen Puzzle Dama]]'', Yuko Asahina has some animated sprites where her breasts bounce.
** And ''Tokimeki Memorial 4'' has Fumiko Yanagi's breasts bounce in her [[Limit Break]] 's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGAmeo0Y27E#t=0m54s portait animation] during battles, as well as when she appears in the game's mini-OVA.
Line 330:
* Selvaria of ''[[Valkyria Chronicles]]''. Most of her major scenes focus either on her flaming blue badassity, or her.. um, "talents", and the jiggling is truly astounding when the camera's on them. One particularly dramatic scene suffers because of the focus on her breasts bouncing around in ''different directions''.
* ''[[Akatsuki Blitzkampf]]'' gives us Marilyn Sue, who's popular with fans both for her powerful, hard-hitting fighting style and for her huge, ''huge'' jugs that bounce and swing every which way as she smacks around her opponents.
* Princess Gwynevere from ''[[Dark Souls (Video Game)|Dark Souls]]'' has some subtle [[Gainaxing]] with her tremendous [[Gag Boobs]].
* The female Boss from [[Saints Row the Third|Saints Row: The Third]] Can fit into this trope if you slide her sex appeal all the way to 100.
 
== Webcomics ==
* Nauseatingly parodied in [http://www.cad-comic.com/cad/20061025 this] ''[[Ctrl +Alt +Del]]'' strip.
* One ''[[Gaia Online]]'' comic update shows Lex, Sasha, and [[Hot Mom|Ruby]] jogging in anticipation of an Olympics-themed event. About half the fan-edits of said comic focus more on Ruby's bouncing jubblies than anywhere else.
* Referenced in [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php?view=archive&chapter=46522#184692 this] [[Skin Horse]] strip where a hacked game of [[Mario Kart (Video Game)|Mario Kart]] is described (but not shown, tragically) as having Peach not wearing a shirt and having a "Gainax bounce".
* Discussed as a superpower in [http://bakedgoods.thecomicseries.com/comics/4 this] ''[[Baked Goods]]'' comic.
 
 
== Western Animation ==
* Jessica Rabbit from ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]''. Her breasts were purposely drawn to bounce in the opposite rhythm of a normal female's chest while walking; she bounces down when a real person would bounce up, and vice versa.
** And they go "boing"!
* ''[[Betty Boop]]'' was also known to do this in certain cartoons.
* Hell, it's not even breasts, but ''[[Invader Zim]]'' got away with this through Zim's zit, aptly named "Pustulio".
** Technically it was necessary though, as the whole jiggling thing gave the hypnotic effect it had.
* ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures (Animation)|Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' seemed to have a little fun animating a female anthro bear character called Julie Bruin ([[Ink Suit Actor|based on, and voiced by]], comedienne and singer Julie Brown) this way in one episode. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xirDE57RlDA Here's proof.]
** That episode was animated by [[Tokyo Movie Shinsha]]. Coincidence?
* In the third ''[[Bosko the Talk Ink Kid]]'' cartoon "Congo Jazz", a ''[[Non-Mammal Mammaries|palmtree]]'' does this, with coconuts substituting for breasts.
* Believe it or not, ''[[Teen Titans (Animationanimation)|Teen Titans]]'' got away with doing this to Starfire from time to time.
** If they had used the [[Stripperific]] Starfire from the [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|comic books]], it would be justified. But her costume in the cartoon was relatively modest and form-fitting. Raven, on the other hand, was [[Most Common Superpower|more considerably blessed]] and only wore a leotard, yet [[And That's Terrible|we were never given that]] [[Fan Service]].
*** Actually, a one piece leotard is much better at support than a two piece outfit like starfires, WB version or no. At her size she certainly would have bounced with athletic enough motion.
* ''[[Justice League]]'' did this on rare occasion. In the episode "Grudge Match", Roulette did this in the second scene. Figures, as she was promoting a [[Cat Fight]] ring
** In "The Cat and the Canary" the animators should've been given a bonus for the part where Black Canary takes off her jacket before she spars with Green Arrow.
* And ''[[The Backyardigans (Animation)|The Backyardigans]]'' does it with Tyrone's '''ears''', particularly in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-rPOcm6clk&feature=related season 1's opening (who cares if it's in Spanish? Just pay attention on the bouncing)].
** The "Caveman's Best Friend" episode has Tyrone control the bouncing of his ears, even though it looked more like flapping during that episode.
* Several episodes of ''[[King of the Hill]]'' seem to have a rather excessive amount of closeups of Luanne's breasts while they jiggle.
* Victor's mum from ''[[Corpse Bride (Animation)|Corpse Bride]]'' is subject to this trope, although it's hardly your typical case seeing as how she's [[Fan Disservice|middle-aged and overweight.]]
* ''[[Tripping the Rift]]'''s resident [[Ms. Fanservice]] Six was animated this way.
* Ralph Bakshi's ''[[Fire and Ice (Filmanimation)|Fire and Ice]]'' features a very early (1983) pair of life-drawn (but hugely amplified) [[Gainaxing]] breasts on [[Everything's Better Withwith Princesses|Princess Teegra]].
* Shadowcat from ''[[Wolverine and Thethe X -Men]]'' had her breasts bounce when she went after the [[Creepy Child]] in the "Battle Lines" episode.
* In ''[[The Little Mermaid (Disney)|The Little Mermaid]]'' Ursula, of all characters, got an inordinate amount of time spent on her to make sure she jiggled realistically.
* Endive from ''[[Chowder]]'' was animated like this for a few moments in at least one episode. You could argue about the amount of [[Fan Disservice|fanservice]], though.
** Truffles got the treatment once, as well as [[Squick|Reubens]].
* Mrs. Beady from ''[[Barnyard]]'' and ''[[Back At the Barnyard (Animation)|Back Atat the Barnyard]]'' has her boobs jiggle, even when she gets up from the chair.
* Princess Vespa in G4's animated ''[[Spaceballs (Film)|Spaceballs]]'' adaption is usually animated this way.
* The animated short film, ''[[Loco Melones]]'', shows two of the women's boobs bouncing. Don't believe me, search for the short.
* The buxom old lady from ''[[Coraline (Filmanimation)|Coraline]]'' bounces quite a bit, particularly when she shoves her sister out of the way using her breasts. The [[Fan Disservice]] levels are [[Up to Eleven|cranked up to eleven]] later on when she appears to be jumping on a diving board... [[Squick|naked.]]
* Leshawna from ''[[Total Drama Island (Animation)|Total Drama Island]]'' quite often, but it's very subtle.
** This has happened on occasion to Lindsay as well.
** Male example with Alejandro. No, seriously.

* Mixed with the video game type in the [[Megas XLR]] episode "Viva Las Megas. Goat is at a gaming convention. While discussing a new beach volleyball game with a guy, he says "[[Jiggle Physics|I hope they improve the secondary motion engine]]."
* [http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Titania Titania], a bartender from ''[[The Simpsons (Animationanimation)|The Simpsons]]'' used this (combined with her natural talents) to her advantage in order to try and win the "Beer-Tender of the Year" contest. She loses when she refuses to throw out a drunk, telling Duffman that she slept with him to get out of participating in that part of the contest (Duffman's response: "Duffman says a lot of things! Oh, yeah!")
* Like every female character, and some of the heftier guys, in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxdA9_BLyVE&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL this] Confused.com commercial.
* In the ''[[Regular Show (Animation)|Regular Show]]'' episode "Muscle Woman", both Starla AND Muscle Man get this a lot, effectively squickifying the episode.
* Aphrodite gives a little, light, slight boob shake when she turns in one episode of the animated ''[[Hercules (Disney film)|Hercules]]'' series.
** And the episode was...?
** It was more than likely the one called "Hercules and the Dream Date", which was animated by [[Disney Toon]], who often had the most detailed animation for Disney's animated shows back in the day.
* ''[[Family Guy (Animation)|Family Guy]]'''s interpretation of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53CCyomA2u8 SabadoGigante.]
* [[Zatanna]] does it in the [[Batman Cold Open]] to the ''[[Batman: theThe Brave And The Bold (Animation)|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]'' episode "Chill of the Night!".
