Ms. Fanservice/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

----

 

* [[Betty Boop]] was filling this role as early as 1930, providing an [[Older Than Television]] example.

* ''[[Flash Gordon (animation)|The New Adventures of Flash Gordon]]'': Princess Aura. In the early episodes, she was accompanied by seemingly every female on Mongo whose name wasn't Dale Arden. [[My Friends and Zoidberg|And sometimes Dale herself.]]

* The three main characters of ''[[Totally Spies!]]'', in what is also [[Parent Service]]

* Before that came the female characters, particularly the villainesses, of ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]''. Catwoman, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy all come to mind.

* Six of Nine from ''[[Tripping the Rift]]''.

* ''[[Animaniacs]]'' has the famous [[Hello, Nurse!]] and Minerva Mink.

* ''[[Bonkers]]'' has Fawn Deer.

* The title character of ''[[Aeon Flux]]'' runs around doing spywork and sabotage in outfits ranging from a skintight catsuit to a vinyl thong bikini and stripper boots. Aeon's appearance was originally conceived as a parody of unrealistically [[Stripperiffic]] [[Action Girl|Action Girls]].

* This trope is the one and only reason Cachorra was turned into an [[Expy]] of her own voice actress in ''Isidoro''.

** Lindsay's got large breasts, wears a tank top and short skirt, and in one episode even dresses up like an admiral. And Wonder Woman!

** Izzy and Bridgette also have their fanservice moments: the former doing a seductive dance in "Not Quite Famous" and the latter [[Sitting Sexy on a Piano]] in "Aftermath: Bridgette Over Troubled Water".

* ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'': Raven and Starfire seem to be almost constantly tied for this position in the cartoon. In [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|the comics]], its a whole 'nother ballgame, as Starfire in the comics has what the original Terra described as a "balloon bod" that resembles a playboy model, and her outfit is best described as "bikini". They had to tone her down for prime-time children's viewing.

** In her earlier appearances, She-Hulk was also portrayed as an [[Amazonian Beauty]].

* The Baroness was probably the most obvious example of this in ''[[G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (Marvel Comics)|G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero]]'' (there's a reason the lady [[The Baroness| has a trope named after her]]) and some of her outfits were pretty risqué for a cartoon of the time. Skintight "cat-suit" aside, the most blatant example was in "The Gamemaster", where she wore a bikini for the entire episode. Not by her choice. Plot-wise, she, Cobra Commander, Flint, and Lady Jay were kidnapped by a third-party villain and forced into a Deadly Game, and in her case, she was in a spa at the time when she was grabbed, and had no way to change. Still, it was obviously an intentional move by the writers. In one scene in said episode, Flint ends up grappling her in a struggle that ends with a pin; seriously.

* [[Star Wars: The Clone Wars]] has had many female characters fitting this trope including [[Impossible Hourglass Figure|Aayla Secura]] occasionally Padme, and Ahsoka also seems to be [[She's All Grown Up|getting there]], but so far the Fanservice incarnate of the show is definitely [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Suu_Lawquane Suu Lawquane], [[Hot Mom|by]] [[Absolute Cleavage|the]] [[Sideboob|sheer]] [[Stripperific|amount]] [[Everything Sounds Sexier in French|of]] [[Green-Skinned Space Babe|Fanservice]] [[Bare Your Midriff|related]] tropes she embodies all at once.

* Fifi LaFume from ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]''. Good looks: check, sexy accent: check, [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: check. Even the subtitles in one of her shorts call her "Sexius Skunkius".

* The main protagonist of ''[[Word Girl]]''.

** Also Leslie, Lady Redundant Woman, and Miss Power.
