Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:hyperventilate-~~273x300_2185~~273x300 2185.jpg\|frame\|In... and out...]] Often in TV, a character who is panicking will be shown inhaling and exhaling into a paper bag to calm down. In milder examples, it can be used to cure hiccups. Actually [[Truth in Television]], as breathing into a paper bag is a good way to reduce the symptoms of hyperventilation,<ref>Hyperventilating causes you to lose carbondioxide too quickly, causing dizziness and fainting. The bag helps you retain it.</ref>, according to [[The Other Wiki]]. However, one should [[Too Dumb to Live\|never use a plastic bag]] for this, because suffocation ''will'' ensue. {{examples}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * In the manga adaptation of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', Shinji has a panic attack and Kaworu, not being able to find a paper bag, kisses him. Line 15: ** Also happens to Janice in another episode. * In one of the many flashbacks on ''[[Lost]]'', Hurley is seen breathing into a Mr. Clucks bag in a parking lot. * On one episode of ''[[~~Diffrent~~Diff'rent Strokes]]'', Adelaide the housekeeper uses a paper bag to ward off an epileptic seizure. == [[Film]] == * Runt of the Litter from ''[[~~Chicken Little (Disney)\|~~Chicken Little]]''. He hyperventilates so hard he accidentally swallows the bag, then is seen breathing on two bags at once. * Referenced in ''[[Monsters vs. Aliens]]'' when [[Attack of the 50 -Foot Whatever\|Ginormica]] first sees the giant robot they have to fight. {{quote\| '''Ginormica:''' I can't fight that thing! I've never... I'm hyperventilating! Does anybody have a giant paper bag?}} * RJ in ''[[Over the Hedge (~~Film~~animation)\|Over the Hedge]]'' did this once. == [[Western Animation]] == * ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic ~~(Animation)~~\|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'': Spike does this on "A Dog And Pony Show" after Rarity has been kidnapped. * On ''[[The Simpsons]]'', in the episode "Lisa's Rival", when Lisa does this after meeting a girl who appears to be smarter than she is. * Seen in ''[[Rocket Power]]''.
