Good news! You've acquired the rights to remake that classic cartoon you loved as a child as a movie / novelisation / TV series /
Firstly, all the female characters get [[Stripperiffic]] outfits while the men get [[Shirtless Scene]] after [[Shirtless Scene]]. Then add some "[[Witty Banter]]" between the lead characters about [[Gag Penis|penis size]], some [[Double Entendre|bow-chicka-bow-wow]], a [[A Man Is Not a Virgin|"manly" hero]] and a [[Chaste Hero|Chaste Sidekick]] who's [[Virginity Makes You Stupid|a stupid and innocent virgin]], a [[Ms. Fanservice]] with [[Gag Boobs]] and [[Innocent Fanservice Girl|no nudity taboo]], and, of course, buckets of [[Fan Service]]. Heck, why not go all the way and [[Marry Them All|chuck everyone in bed together]] and say it's just you making the series more mature.

* The freaking ''Sun Maid Raisin Girl'' has gotten this treatment. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJZcFq8ige8 See for yourself.]

Line 48 ⟶ 50:
* With ''[[To LOVE-Ru]]'' as [[Fan Service]]-laden as it is, one would consider it impossible for this trope to apply any further, yes? No. ''[[To Love Ru Darkness]]'', in its first chapter, promises even more fanservice than ever, with such things as [[Nipple-and-Dimed|unobstructed views on... stuff]] and Momo the [[Harem Seeker]]. To say the least, it delivers.
** In an inversion, the first anime adaptation had barely any fanservice, which could be considered [[Adaptation Decay|missing the point of the show]]. Thankfully, [[Surprisingly Improved Sequel|the second anime season was just right on it]].
* ''[[One Piece]]'', where every adult female is either a [[Gonk]] or a sex goddess in her own right. It didn't start out that way though. The most blatant example is Nami, as illustrated ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20190928023627/http://apforums.net/showthread.php?s=32448ec93fe9512d63a831662a0d9390&t=9362 here]''.
* [[Go Nagai]] is well-known for his risky, borderline hentai titles. Heck, his break-out title was the eptly titled ''Harenchi Gakuen'' (Lewd School). This one was still a shounen manga though and never went beyond being naughty. In the mid 90's however, a reboot called ''Heisei Harenchi Gakuen'' hit the shelves, which finally was a full-fledged cartoon porn.
* ''[[Super Robot Wars Original Generation]]: The Inspector'' is chock full of fanservice moments, including a scene where Excellen gets brainwashed similar to what happened to Lamia in the ODE Incident of ''OG Gaiden'' along with a variety of other fun stuff like Ending Credits featuring the female cast in bathing suits as well as one [[Fan Disservice|with Elzam and Zengar]].
Line 58 ⟶ 60:
* [[Mayu Shinjo]]'s works (''[[Sensual Phrase]]'', ''[[Haou Airen]]'', ''[[Akuma na Eros]]'') are so full of PG-13-going-to-R sex scenes and fanservice that it's a ''wonder'' it was marketed and published as [[Shojo]] instead of [[Josei]].
* Inverted with ''Negima!?'', [[Studio Shaft]]'s adaptation of ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]''. The original is known for having a fair deal of fanservice, but this anime had none. It was still a good series, but it felt odd.

* Happened to second Wonder Girl, once she moved from ''[[Young Justice (comics)|Young Justice]]'' to [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]. [http://www.quietmuse.net/images/wgirl/cassie.jpg This] is how she was looking in her Young Justice days.

* Alan Moore's [[Lost Girls (comics)|Lost Girls]]. In which Peter Pan and Wendy are watched by creepy old paedophile Captain Hook. In which Dorothy Gale's "transport" in the tornado is masturbation. In which Alice's Wonderland is a drug-fuelled lesbian orgy.
* They tried to do this with Sue in ''[[The Fantastic Four]]'' shortly after the [[Onslaught]] storyline. The [https://whatculture.com/comics/15-worst-female-superhero-costumes?page=6 "slutty Invisible Woman costume"] (as it is called) was nearly universally despised, and they got rid of it quick - Marvel seemed to be going through a "strange" period with redesigns then.
== Fan Works ==
* The [http://davidkawena.deviantart.com/gallery/#Disney-Heroes Disney Heroes] fanart collection by davidkawena definitely counts. Particularly the Peter Pan one.
** Here's the princess version of this: [http://steevinlove.deviantart.com/gallery/23384510 Defenders of the Enchanted Kingdom WIP]

Line 92 ⟶ 93:

* ''[[Paint Your Wagon]]'' greatly rewrote [[Paint Your Wagon (theatre)|the original musical play]], adding subplots about prostitution and wife-sharing.
== Literature ==
* This trope has been applied to the [http://inventorspot.com/articles/element_girls_pretty_periodic_table_21561 periodic table of elements] by a female Japanese university professor.

Line 113 ⟶ 112:
* The Canadian version of ''[[So You Think You Can Dance]]'' notably [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1YeK9xF3oQ pushes] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GoFozOooYg the] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vExDHamsukc envelope] of how sexual dance routines can get.
* ''[[CSI: Miami]]'' to the original ''[[CSI]]'', as the innumerable shots of bikini girls per episode will remind you.
* ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'' was often promoted as a Hotter and Sexier version of ''[[Star Trek]]''. Unfortunately, the decontamination scenes, male pregnancies and endless shirtless men came off as more childish than mature.
* ''[[Victorious]]'', compared to Dan Schnieder's other shows.
== Music ==
Line 123 ⟶ 122:
* The [[K Pop]] group T-ara did two music videos of their song, "Bo Peep Bo Peep". One is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_2-IHDxzwY the normal version], and then the 19+ version which is basically [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9403-9CptH8 softcore porn...] Some think it's still "not porny enough" compared to Western music videos going the same way, but then again, [[Values Dissonance|this ''is'' South Korea we're talking about]].
* [[Hilary Duff]] is a subversion. Although some of her songs have gotten Hotter And Sexier (many critics noting [[Contractual Purity|it is a little weird]] to hear [[Lizzie McGuire]] sing lyrics like ''"Reach out and touch me"''), she pretty much still wears the same clothing since her Disney days.
* [[Miranda Cosgrove]] is starting{{when}} this with her EP, ''High Maintenance''. Note the last track of the EP, as it's just that. <!-- MOD: "High Maintenance" was in 2011. How much did she follow through in the years since? -->
* [[Miley Cyrus]]'s example is discussed further below in the [[#Real Life|Real Life]] section, but as far as her music career was concerned, she went there the moment she started ''Party In The USA''.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxVNOnPyvIU Untitled (How Does It Feel) by D'angelo].
Line 129 ⟶ 128:
* [[Katy Perry]] started out as a Christian pop singer. Then she made "I Kissed a Girl"...
==
* The revival of ''[[Cabaret]]'' in the 1990s directed by Sam Mendes was pointedly Hotter and Sexier despite the show being hardly clean in the first place.
** Subverted: in the Mendes revival, you could also [[Squick|see the needle tracks]] on the skins of the Kit Kat Klub dancers where they'd been using. [[Fan Disservice|Not so sexy]].
* The musical ''[[Chicago]]'' is greatly Hotter and Sexier than the original non-musical play.
* Parodied by the tagline to ''[[Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson]]'': "HISTORY JUST GOT ALL SEXYPANTS."
* In the transition from ''[[La Boheme]]'' to ''[[Rent]]'', most of the characters stayed pretty much the same. Except for Mimi, who went from sweet, soft-spoken and
** Mimi's number "Out Tonight" became Hotter and Sexier in the transition between play and movie. In the play, the song is sexy, but it takes place in Mimi's apartment as she prepares to meet Roger. In the movie, it's an excuse for Rosario Dawson to do a strip routine.
== Video Games ==
* ''[[Deus Machina Demonbane]]'' is what happens when you do this sort of thing ''to the [[Cthulhu Mythos]]''! To be fair, it still portrays most of what it borrowed as creepy as it's source, and lots of stuff is still freaky and decidedly non sexy {{spoiler|Dagon and the Deep Ones come to mind}}. However, by the same token, no less than {{spoiler|Nyarlathotep}} gets hit with this trope, and you wouldn't believe [[Absolute Cleavage|how]] [[Meganekko|sexy]] [[Bi the Way|the]] [[Creepy Sexy|result]] is.
* The much-documented, "maturing" of the ''[[Prince of Persia
* ''[[Soul Calibur]]'' goes through this. Sure. A simple way to describe Ivy. She was [[Boobs of Steel|busty to begin with]], but as later games came out, she grew and grew, and her clothes conversely shrank and shrank. ''[[Soul Calibur]] III'' started the Character Creation stuff, but ''SCIV'' turned this up several notches with destructible armor, every bonus character being a female, and ''especially'' Angol Fear's appearance and Shura's dialogue.
** Ironically enough, in ''SCV'', Ivy's clothing is far more modest than any of her default outfits in previous games.
Line 159 ⟶ 157:
* While the aforementioned game couldn't do anything TRULY explicit, ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]'' did prove you can have full-frontal female nudity and still have the game be M Rated. And despite all the attention ''Dead or Alive'' has gained for its [[Fan Service]], ''[[Street Fighter]]'' and ''[[Fatal Fury]]'' have gone one step further; their anime movies have shown Chun-Li and Mai Shiranui respectively nude [[Shower Scene|in the shower]].
** The lesson of this appears to be, so long as your game is set in Antiquity, having topless women walk around purely for the sake of being topless is just fine. Particularly if their dialogue advances the plot.
* Certain fans feared that this is exactly what was going to happen to ''[[Metroid]]''{{'}}s Samus Aran when it was announced that Tecmo and Team Ninja (of ''[[Dead or Alive]]'', or "[[Jiggle Physics|boing]]" fame) would be making ''{{[[Metroid: Other M]]''. Ironically enough, her presence in this game is actually a lot more tame and modest than her normal appearances out of her armor. (After all, ever since the infamous [[Samus Is a Girl]] twist in the original game occurred Samus ended up becoming quite a [[Ms. Fanservice]] when she is not in her traditional power armor.)
* This is the main reason [[Ms. Fanservice|Rouge the Bat]] was introduced in the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' series.
* Before having Ivy and Sophitia (from ''[[Soul Calibur]]'') jiggling about the camera whilst destroying each other's clothing, Namco proved they could taken the already-cleavage-familiar ''[[Tekken]]'' and spin-it-off into ''Death by Degrees'', an action game that puts you in the numerous bullet-deflecting string bikinis of Nina Williams.
Line 167 ⟶ 165:
** It bears mentioning that between the second and third games the developers changed from Harmonix (who moved on to make ''[[Rock Band]]'') to Neversoft after Red Octane sold the name to Activision.
* ''TERA Online'' is basically "''Lineage II'' with even nakeder girls."
* ''[[No More Heroes]]: Heroes Paradise'' is practically the original game with improved graphics... And an extra
** Although it probably makes [[Fetish Fuel Station Attendant|Bad Girl]]'s outfit ''less'' [[Fetish Fuel|fetishistic]].
* The ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]'' characters have gotten progressively more attractive with each entry into the series, with the biggest jump occurring between the fifth and sixth installments. In particular, Sun Quan went from [https://web.archive.org/web/20111103064425/http://ui10.gamespot.com/937/charapopup17_2.jpg this] to [http://www.blogcdn.com/playstation.joystiq.com/media/2009/07/dw6e38l.png this]. And that's not even getting into the increasing [[Stripperiffic]]-ness of Diao Chan's outfits.
Line 177 ⟶ 175:
** The comics from IDW take this further since Isabella Keyes [[Fan Service Pack|suddenly got considerably more buxom]] and Rebecca Chang whom was already a [[Ms. Fanservice]] to begin became even more so since she was showing more cleavage and her bust size is now about as big as Jessica's from the original ''[[Dead Rising]]''.
* ''[[Assassin's Creed 2]]'', compared to Altair who is pretty much [[Married to the Job]]. Ezio's quest for revenge does not stop him from catching a glimpse of the finer things in 15th Century Italy which include lovely courtesans and a couple of flings with girls. However, Ezio also has a siblings, parents, and extended family, so it may just be a case of better and deeper storytelling than this trope per se.
* Jill Valentine's outfit (ie, her uniform) was pretty modest in the first ''[[Resident Evil (video game)|Resident Evil]]'' game; [[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis|the third]], however, gave her this treatment with the notorious tube top and short-shorts getup. Fortunately, the remake made her outfit more practical.
* In ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'', it seemed the female fighters' outfits were getting progressively more skimpy in each installment. For example, Kitana went from [https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mkwikia/images/6/69/KitanaFanSteel.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110924163834 this], to [https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mkwikia/images/f/f4/MK3U-01_Kitana.png/revision/latest?cb=20120110174612 this], to [https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mkwikia/images/1/1d/Kitana_mk9_koncept_nobg_by_fullm8n-d32kod1.png/revision/latest?cb=20121114200930 this]; unlockable skins were often even worse. Eventually, though, around the tenth game, developers made an about face and started [https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mkwikia/images/3/33/Kitana_MK11_render.png/revision/latest?cb=20200510004518 giving the female characters more dignity.]
* ''[[Battletoads]]'' subverts this with the Dark Queen, the 2020 relaunch having her swap the [[Dominatrix]] outfit from the original game for more modest (maybe more "cartoonish") [[Evil Sorceress]] robes. She actually has something to say about this to her old associate Jeff (and by association, [[Trolling Creator|fans who complained about the change]]) after Jeff criticizes her outfit, doing so [[High Altitude Interrogation|as she dangles him from their spaceship’s airlock:]]
{{quote|'''Dark Queen:''' I guess we’ve changed Jeff, I’ve grown more impatient and you want to control what I’m wearing. [[Sarcasm Mode|Like you’re entitled to it because we hung out twenty years ago]].}}

While Whitney’s… assets are not quite as exaggerated in story as the thumbnail suggests, all NPCs and the two protagonists are given a slight [[Age Lift]], making them teenagers, and many important female characters are made more voluptuous. There's even a few teen-romance and dating scenes in some parts of the story.
== Web Comics ==

* Rather infamously, ''[[Sonichu]] 8''.
* When T gave up on getting ''[[Penny and Aggie]]'' syndicated, he "celebrated" it with "Behind Closed Doors", where nearly all the couples past and present either have sex or almost have sex. This is the first arc to hint at [[Anything That Moves|Stan]]'s bisexuality, and while it's not the first arc to hint at Sara's lesbianism, [[A Date with Rosie Palms|touching herself to Lindsay Lohan]] is a bit clearer than the strip had gotten in the past.
* ''[[Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|Penny Arcade]]'s'' infamous censored ''[[Strawberry Shortcake]]''
** [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2011/6/15/ Eventually followed by] a
* ''[[Eerie Cuties]]'' and its first spin-off, ''[[Magick Chicks]]'', were both slightly risque, possibly the equivalent of PG-13 ratings. ''[[Dangerously Chloe]]'', the second spin-off, was far closer to an R-rating, with more suggestive and NSFW material - the protagonist is a succubus, after all.

* Introduction of Lola Bunny in ''[[Space Jam]]'' had this purpose in the ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' franchise.
* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20100218125658/http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8039477657790445932 Red Hot Riding Hood]''. Starts out as a normal Little Red Riding Hood until the characters suddenly rebel at this done-to-death staging and demand a fresh approach. Red is a sexy adult nightclub entertainer. It was voted #7 of The 50 Greatest Cartoons of all time.
* In the [[Famous Studios]] ''[[Popeye]]'' shorts, [[Damsel in Distress|Olive]] [[Informed Attractiveness|Oyl]] was made more attractive so it would make more sense that Popeye and Bluto were fighting over her.
* While the [http://images.wikia.com/thundercats/images/8/80/Cheetara.jpg original] [[Thundercats|Cheetara]] is still considered sexy by fans, many agree that the [http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110828032841/thundercats/images/4/4f/Cheetara_1223.JPG 2011 version] is much sexier.
* Speaking of [[Cat Girl]]s; some versions of [[Wonder Woman]]'s foe Cheetah raise the question of whether she is a human under a costume and for that matter, whether she is even wearing a costume. The animated movie ''[[Catwoman: Hunted]]'' [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9gXRVm-0dA answers both in the negative.]

** Case in point: Teri Weigel. She started her career as a ''[[Playboy]]'' Playmate in 1985. Soon after she posed for the more explicit ''Penthouse'' magazine. Eventually she started appearing in hardcore pornographic movies and magazines and even worked for a while as a legal prostitute at the Bunny Ranch brothel in Reno, Nevada... by which time ''Playboy'' had stopped mentioning that she had ever been a Playmate.
** Other examples are Amber Easton, Meggan Mallone, Tila Tequila, Vicky6, Priya Rai, Brianna Frost and Francine Dee.
Line 205 ⟶ 212:
** A la [[Anne Hathaway]]'s switch from ''[[The Princess Diaries]]'' and ''Havoc''.
** Another example is Elizabeth Berkley from ''[[Saved by the Bell]]'', who starred in the movie ''[[Showgirls]]'' in an attempt to shed her "good girl" image. It didn't work; the film bombed at the box office and was thrashed by critics, effectively killing Berkley's career.
** An even more extreme (and successful) example is [[Miley Cyrus]], who utterly shattered her [[:Category:Former Disney Child Stars|Disney child star]] image to avoid being typecast as [[Hannah Montana]] until she was in her sixties. After a decade and her goal accomplished, she
** Quasi-
* Inverted with [[Barbie]], whose wardrobe originally included lingerie (though most of her lingerie resembled long gowns, which Barbie will either use as undergarments or sleepwear), but by the late 2000s she cannot wear lingerie anymore to avoid alienating little girls.
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hula Hula dancing] is, in fact, an inversion. While the idea of the coconut bra is rather suggestive, those were added when tourism became popular in Hawaii and Polynesia. Traditionally, female hula dancers were topless.
* As of the mid-2020s, fashion is increasingly trending towards becoming even Hotter and Sexier than before, mostly thanks to social media like Instagram and TikTok featuring women who flaunt their beauty to entice men (and women). To some extent, porn is also responsible for the sexualization of the everyday look, as [[Buxom Is Better|large breasts]] and [[Baby Got Back|a large ass]] are in ''full force'' as the desired look for women. General [[Camp|flamboyancy]] is also more strongly pronounced than ''ever'' thanks to the [[Bishounen]] style making a huge impact online, so men now have to pull double duty of being both pretty ''and'' handsome to attract women, and that too brings it's own style of sexualization to the everyday fashion standard.
