Line 22:
** Rangiku likes draping her arms over people, leaning her face closer to someone elses', tickling people while she's in the nude and so forth, but mostly when she wants to party or bring levity to a serious moment. On the other hand, Haineko [[Bi the Way|gets like this around both boys and girls]] that seem to interest her.
* Shinnosuke from ''[[Ultra Maniac]]''. Although its understandable since the only episode he's in has him change from a cat into a human.
* ''[[Ranma ½|[[Ranma
** Shampoo. When Ranma's involved, the word "personal space" does not exist!
** Kodachi Kunō to her "darling" Ranma.
Line 116:
* In ''[[Pokémon Special]]'', N has no problem whispering into the ear of another boy before said boy is even aware of him. N later grabs him by the arm and brings him up close. It's kind of creepy considering N's almost dead expression. Gender obviously isn't an issue for N, as he gets up close and personal with White {{spoiler|in the Nimbasa ferris wheel}}.
* Kirika in ''[[Eiken]]'' clearly doesn't believe in personnel boudarys when it comes to Densuke.
* Saten and Kuroko from ''[[To Aru Kagaku no Railgun]]'' will not hesitate lift Uiharu's skirt or [[Glomp]] Misaka, respectively.
* In ''[[Wild Fangs]]'', Syon is like this towards Mao before they actually get together.
* In ''[[Virgin Love|Junai no Seinen]]'', Ian uses the fact he is known for this as an excuse to grope Kaoru in public.
Line 137:
== Comic Strips ==
* ''[[Dilbert]]''
** [http://www.dilbert.com/strips/comic/1991-12-20/ This comic] has someone from [[The Old Country]] being unaware of the concept.
** Dogbert discusses cultural concepts of personal space in another comic. In America, you're allowed just inside the "Bad Breath Zone". In Italy, you can get inside the other person's clothes. In Australia, any distance is too damn close.
Line 148:
* ''[[9|Nine]]''
** The twins very much fall under this category, seeing as their first order of business following their appearance was to start messing with the main character's easy access portal to his internal organs. Well, sackcloth-doll organs. Still, nobody wants a pair of busybodies monkeying around with their insides.
** 5 also falls under this category.
* Gaston in Disney's ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'' towards Belle.
* ''[[Treasure Planet]]'': BEN. "I just wanna hug ya and squeeze ya and hold ya close to me!" Much to the dismay of Jim Hawkins.
Line 166:
* ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]''
** Voldemort, especially in the films. When he steals the Elder Wand in ''[[Deathly Hallows]] Part 1'', he's face to face with the dead Dumbledore. They'd be touching noses, [[The Noseless|if he had a nose.]] Part 2 didn't let up -- {{spoiler|after Harry's [[Disney Death]],}} he offers the Hogwarts students and defenders a chance to join the ranks of the Death Eaters. Draco crosses the field to get to his parents, and ''Voldemort hugs him''. Or tries to, anyway; he clearly has no idea what he's doing.
** Several Death Eaters have this problem in the films; Snape gets uncomfortably close to Harry at times and both Scabior and Bellatrix have some rather [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|suggestive]] moments with Hermione in ''[[Deathly Hallows]] Part 1''. Snape isn't quite as bad about this in the books, but his standard "interrogating a pupil" technique seems to be "get right in their personal space".
** Wormtail made Harry and Hermione uncomfortable in the third book when he tried to thank them by throwing his arms around their legs.
* ''[[A Series of Unfortunate Events]]'': [[Memetic Molester|Count Olaf]]. (most frequent target: Violet) (other targets: Klaus, Sunny, Aunt Josephine, etc. etc.)
Line 191:
* ''[[The Daily Show]]'': Jon Stewart. Just ask Denis Leary. Or Brian Williams. Or Mike Myers...
* ''[[Star Trek]]''
** Captain Archer of ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise|Star Trek Enterprise]]'' is a mild example. He is ''constantly'' patting his crew on the shoulder, standing very close, etc, [[Ho Yay|especially]] with [[Hates Being Touched|Malcolm Reed]].
** In ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek the Original Series]]'', Kirk is quite a touchy-feely person in general, but particularly with [[The Not Love Interest|Spock]]. (It's quite interesting to compare the amount of personal space between [[Heterosexual Life Partners|Kirk and McCoy]] and between [[Ho Yay|Kirk and Spock]].)
** Q of ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Star Trek the Next Generation]]'' (and ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|DS9]]'' and ''[[Star Trek: Voyager|Voyager]]'') has them all beat. His interactions with people ([[Ho Yay|Picard in particular]]) are very... friendly.
Line 198:
* Mulder tends to do this to Scully a lot on ''[[The X-Files]]'' from very early on. He also tends to be quite affectionate with her. She minded for the first few seasons but this eventually goes away, though it's a little while longer before she's comfortable reciprocating the affection.
* Damon, from ''[[The Vampire Diaries]]''. He pretty much always does it deliberately to unnerve people, though.
* ''[[Friends]]''
** Chandler does this to Joey when fighting over a chair.
{{quote|'''Chandler:''' ''(with his hand inches from Joey's face)'' Not touching! Can't get mad!}}
Line 214:
** A similar example is Malcolm's [[Bastard Understudy]] Jamie, who gets just as close (sometimes manhandling people) and is even more likely to shout obscenities right in your face.
** A very different example is Malcolm's nemesis Steve Fleming. Like Malcolm, Fleming gets much too close to people and has no aversion to touching them. Unlike Malcolm, Fleming is actually ''trying'' to be friendly, but fails miserably and comes across as a creepy slimy perv (especially with Niccola).
* In ''[[The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'', [[Robot Girl|Cameron]] tends to stand ''way'' too close to some people (likely to make it easier to kill them if she needs to) and also tends to stare for prolonged periods when she's considering the threat someone else represents to her or John Connor.
* ''[[Power Rangers Dino Thunder]]'': Mesogog, especially when he has Tommy [[Strapped to An Operating Table]] in "Legacy of Power".
Line 236:
* On occasion, Dora from ''[[Questionable Content]]''. [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1592 For example.] She doesn't do it all the time, or to everyone; Faye gets it the most.
* Taisei from ''[[Sakana]]''. The awkwardness level of it is especially high because he's so tall. For added hilarity, he often get's paired with [[Hates Being Touched|Yuudai]].
* ''[[El Goonish Shive]]''
** [[Meaningful Name|Catalina Bobcat]] clings to people while talking to them, to the point that she makes [[Chivalrous Pervert]] Tedd uncomfortable when she does it to him.
** Grace has also done this on occasion.
Line 249:
* Shego towards the eponymous ''[[Kim Possible]]'', most obviously in "Stop Team Go".
* ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]''
** Starfire is '''ALWAYS''' eager to initiate "The [[Group Hug]]". Or an overly enthusiastic individual hug. Unfortunately, few people are willing to reciprocate, perhaps fearing [[Does Not Know His Own Strength|broken ribs and bruising.]] The fact that she can learn any language by ''kissing'' is an unfortunate coincidence that ''does not help''.
** Slade tends to get uncomfortably close to Robin whenever they encounter each other, not to mention his apparent fondness for [[Foe Yay|restraining him from behind while whispering into his ear]], or manhandling him to the ground. The entire episode "Birthmark" has [[Foe Yay|Slade acting in such a manner in regards to Raven]]. He also likes to act in such a way with Terra. In the case of Terra, this is a pretty [[Squick|unfortunate]] [[Shout-Out]] to their relationship in the comics, {{spoiler|in which Slade and Terra have a sexual relationship.}}
* ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy|Ed, Edd n Eddy]]''
Line 257:
* '[[Family Guy]]''
** Glen Quagmire
** Meg in "Barely Legal" when she was [[Yandere (disambiguation)]] for Brian.
* ''[[Looney Tunes]]''
** Pepe Le Pew.
Line 267:
* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'': SpongeBob himself. Especially around Squidward. Squidward puts it like this in one episode:
{{quote|'''Squidward:''' SpongeBob? Do you remember that little talk we had about ''personal space''?}}
* ''[[Invader Zim]]'''s very own GIR. [[Punctuated!
{{quote|"Get off my head, GIR."}}
* ''[[Danny Phantom]]''
** Jazz already had a problem invading into everyone's own personal privacy (due to being a psychologist-in-training), but when she [[Sixth Ranger|becomes part of "Team Phantom"]], she takes it to epic levels. Danny is none-too-pleased. She later learns to keep a lower profile.
** Vlad is also like this around Danny. Comes with his obsession of wanting to make Danny his son. And there's also whenever he gets his chance to spend time with Maddie...
Line 278:
* ''[[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends|Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends]]''
** Cheese during his first appearance wouldn't give Bloo any elbow room.
** Neither would [[Yandere (disambiguation)|Berry]].
* The eponymous ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes|Jimmy Two Shoes]]''.
* [[Stalker with a Crush|Sierra]] of ''[[Total Drama World Tour]]''. Although it's usually Cody that has to deal with this, she's managed to creep out Heather, Noah and Chris by it too.
