Line 9:
== Anime & Manga ==
* Tenchi from ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]!''
* Ranma in ''[[Ranma One Half]]''.
* Negi in ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]''.
Line 15:
* Most Son males from ''[[Dragonball Z]]''.
* Occurs occasionally in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' (for example, Maes and Gracia Hughes rub their necks when Ed, Al, and Nina remark upon Gracia's advanced state of pregnancy).
* Mai in ''[[
* Sasami in the ''[[Pretty Sammy]]'' series does this fairly frequently when she thinks people have figured out her identity.
* Kakashi did this many times in ''[[Naruto]]'' when trying to brush aside the reasons he was late for practice, or during any other display of [[Obfuscating Stupidity]].
** Naruto does this too, presumably as a homage to ''[[
** Iruka does it too, especially as a child.
** {{spoiler|Naruto's mother, Kushina also does this. Probably where he got it from}}
* In ''[[Mahoraba]]'', it appears Shiratori's hand is glued back there.
* Both Gourry and Xellos of ''[[Slayers]]'' do this rather frequently, though with Xellos it's probably for more worrisome reasons.
* While [[Azumanga Daioh
* All of the ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' girls have done this, but it's often done by Mako/Lita when talking to a guy she likes or Usagi/Serena after she's [[Idiot Hero|made another silly mistake.]]
* [[Manabi Straight!|Manabi]] does this during the reflection meeting in the last episode.
* Matsuda of ''[[
* The Nohara males in ''[[Shin Chan]]''.
* Inspector Takayama does this early on in the ''[[Domu]]: A Child's Dream'', embarrassedly asking about supernatural phenomena to a shaman who can tell he's skeptical.
* Ichigo from ''[[
Line 37:
== [[Fan Fiction]] ==
* Between this trope and [[Motor Mouth]], Dan of ''[[
== Film ==
* James Bond, of all people, does this in ''[[
== Live Action TV ==
* Western example: Sheriff Jack Carter, from ''[[Eureka]]''.
* The Third and Tenth Doctors in ''[[
== Video Games ==
* In ''[[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney]]'', the title character sometimes does this in the court scenes if he makes a mistake. He also does it if he's unsure about something; if, for example, he brings up a piece of evidence without knowing exactly what's going on, he'll do this gesture while explaining his (usually shaky) logic.
** Dick Gumshoe does this pretty often too.
** Phoenix Wright does this as his victory pose in ''[[
* Commander Shepard of ''[[Mass Effect]]'' has a tendency to do this when modestly acknowledging his/her deeds when admired. Other characters occasionally do it as well.
* [[Spider-Man]] does this in the ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom]]'' series and spiritual predecessors.
Line 59:
* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls]] III: Morrowind'', this was an idle animation that every NPC would eventually play if you waited long enough. (Considering the [[Grey and Grey Morality|context]], this was suprisingly appropriate.)
* [[Crisis Core|Zack]] does this frequently enough for it to be an identifying mannerism. [[Final Fantasy VII|Cloud]] probably picked it up from him. Along with everything else.
* In ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', Pit, {{spoiler|Hades, and Viridi}} are all guilty of this.
== Webcomics ==
* Tarvek makes a frequent habit of this in ''[[
* Used plenty of times in [[Suppression]] mostly by Cerene and Kirk.
* Lavender in ''[[
== Western Animation ==
* Various characters in ''[[
* Disney heroes, most notably Aladdin and Hercules, tend to do this when confronted with attractive and aggressive women. The Beast does it when he's ashamed of himself or frustrated
* ''[[Kappa Mikey]]'', naturally, in a parody of anime. Guano, Lily and Mitsuki do this on occasion, but the real offender is Gonard!
