Guards!]]'''''}} Many fictional characters who smoke cigarettes often demonstrate a peculiar ability: any cigarette they ~~light -- even~~light—even if it was just taken from a ''completely fresh'' ~~pack -- is~~pack—is instantly crumpled and bent out of shape. Characters who are wealthy or otherwise "fancy" seem to be immune to this, particularly [[Femme Fatale]] characters. Presumably they're buying a more expensive brand, but even the cheap ones are evidently more expensive than the cigarettes you can buy in [[Real Life]], which are extremely difficult to crumple up without breaking them and rendering them unsmokable. {{examples}} == Anime and Manga == * Sanji in ''[[One Piece]]'' as pictured above. * Nicholas D. Wolfwood in ''[[Trigun]]''. Justified in that the setting is a desert world where tobacco almost certainly can't grow, so any and all cigarettes to be found are "old technology". Line 24 ⟶ 22: == Eastern Animation == * Wolf from ''[[Nu Pogodi]]!'' == Films == * Heather Mooney, in ''[[Romy And Michelles High School Reunion]]''. "Twice the taste in half the time for the gal on the go"; she reportedly invented fast-burning paper, which means that cigarettes become dog ends ''very'' quickly. == Literature == * Corporal Cecil Wormsborough St. John "Nobby" Nobbs from the ''[[Discworld]]'' novels is [[Lampshade Hanging\|frequently noted]] for displaying this ability. It's said that cigarettes quickly become butts in his presence, and stay as such for an apparently infinite amount of time. == Newspaper Comics == * [[Andy Capp]]. == Video Games == * Played with in ''[[Wild ~~Arms~~ARMs 4]]'', in which one of the supporting cast, Gawn, ''appears'' to have a perpetual dogend, but when asked about it, explains that it's not a cigarette but rather a freeze-dried noodle.▼ ▲* Played with in ''[[Wild Arms 4]]'', in which one of the supporting cast, Gawn, ''appears'' to have a perpetual dogend, but when asked about it, explains that it's not a cigarette but rather a freeze-dried noodle. ** Probably a [[Bowdlerization]], there is a frame at 0:44 in the second version of the animated intro sequence where he is very obviously smoking. * Gabriel Cunningham of ''[[Trauma Team]]'', in addition to being a very thinly veiled [[House (TV series)\|House]] [[Expy]], has this ability. {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Instant Dogend~~{{PAGENAME}}]]▼ [[Category:The Smoking Section]] ▲[[Category:Instant Dogend]]
