Knife Outline: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

* The above picture is from the fifth season of ''[[Ranma ½]]''.

** Mousse also does this with knives to a patron flirting with Shampoo in another episode of the anime.

* Part of Catherine's and Trowa's circus act in ''[[Gundam Wing]]'' involves this (Trowa is pinned, Catherine throws the knives). In this case it's used to show just how fearless Trowa is, as when Catherine accidentally throws a knife close enough to draw blood, he doesn't flinch in the slightest. Heck, he doesn't even ''blink''.

 

* DC Comics [[Green Arrow]] & Speedy have been known to catch crooks with arrow outlines.

* One [[Charles Addams]] comic (the man who went on to create ''[[The Addams Family]]'') involved a nice couple in a hotel room, noticing (with understandable concern) the tips of knives protruding through their wall in a human shape. The suggestion was that this trope had occurred in the next room.

* In an episode of ''[[The Simpsons]]'', Maggie pins Homer to a wall with a staple gun. She even went as far as to pin his ears.

** Actually a subversion of this trope, because she pins him to the wall with a '''Nail Gun'''. ''By the palms of his hands'', and ''then'' both his ears.

* Gosalyn does this to Negaduck in the ''[[Darkwing Duck]]'' episode "Quiverwing Quack". Negaduck ends up pinned to a wall in his costume with arrows, but somehow escapes when Darkwing isn't looking.

* Valerie does this to Vlad Plasmius in ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' with large needles. He phases out of them. Better luck next time.
