Line 6:
 
* ''[[Doki Doki School Hours]]''
* ''[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]''. Surprisingly, Kimura-sensei is almost entirely absent from those scenes, despite being an [[Dirty Old Man|obvious avenue for cheap humor]]. (He shows up for a single punchline.)
* ''[[Ryofukochan (Anime)|Ryofukochan]]'' (where it's mostly about the protagonist's height)
* ''[[Maburaho]]''
* ''[[High School Girls]]''
Line 18:
* ''[[School Rumble]]''. Both Tenma and Harima sneak in as personnel, and [[Hilarity Ensues]].
** And the actual measuring [[Shaggy Dog Story|had been cancelled]].
* Seen as a short intro segment in ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei-sensei]]'' with Maria messing with the other girls' weightings.
* The Korean horror movie, ''[[Memento Mori]]'' has a scene with this.
* ''[[Lucky Star]]''. Only one of the girls has nothing to be gloomy about, and gets flat-out scolded for it. (Though the others' complaints are hardly earth-shattering stuff: "[[Older Than They Look|I'm still short]]," "[[Goofy Print Underwear|I forgot it's measuring day today and wore my printed pants]]" and "[[Hollywood Pudgy|I gained one pound.]]")
* ''[[Rosario to Vampire]] Capu2''. Mizore doesn't actually ''get'' measured because she's too busy [[Stalker Withwith a Crush|stalking]] Tsukune again.
* ''[[Hell Teacher Nube]]'', where the doctor is actually Nube's [[The Rival|rival]] ([[Defeat Means Friendship|and enemy at the time]]) [[Obake|Tamamo]]. When he tries to confront him mid-examination, the girls toss ''Nube'' out and call him a pervert.
* ''[[Maria Holic]]'', where a main character has to resort to subterfuge to keep his crossdressing secret.
* ''[[Hidamari Sketch]]'' has an entire chapter on this. If Yuno, who [[Older Than They Look|cared more about her height]] than weight, decided not to have breakfast, then [[Hollywood Pudgy|Hiro]]... Also, is a 2mm difference in height merely due to error?
* ''[[Cromartie High School]]'' has a ''hilarious'' skit involving a visiting doctor and his reactions when measuring the less... ''ordinary'' students of Cromartie.
* Variant crops up in ''[[To Aru Kagaku no Railgun (Manga)|To Aru Kagaku no Railgun]]''. It's called "[[Measuring Day]]" but rather than a physical exam its measuring the students' special powers. Special precautions have to be taken at Tokiwadai when measuring [[Person of Mass Destruction|Mikoto's]] Railgun, including using the pool as a shock absorber.
* Measuring day presents a real problem for Makoto in ''[[Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa]]'': Namely, concealing the fact that she's a true Hermaphrodite from her peers.
* The grade-school girls in ''[[Kodomo Nono Jikan]]'' convince [[Gag Boobs|their teacher]] to be [http://crazymanga.be/reader/show/3824/0/20 measured also]. Then their male teacher [[Naked People Are Funny|walks in]].
* ''[[Seikon no Qwaser]]'' has this for a filler episode, with the expected focus on breast measurement.
* Used as a conflict point in [[Strawberry Eggs]] in which crossdressing teacher Hibiki is at a loss on how to prevent his status as male from being known after the faculty declares he must undergo a physical as well. His landlady saves the day.
* ''[[Mayo Chiki]]''
* ''[[Guyver (Manga)|Guyver]]'', in the 2005 anime. Gives Sho an [[Oh Crap]] moment, because at this point, he had no idea what the Guyver was, only that it had implanted '''something''' in his back the first time he wore it.
