Line 15:
 
* A [[Super Robot Wars]] 4koma parodying [[Pettanko|Ibis Douglas]] having the least bouncy chest in the series gets epically ridiculous when [[Badass|Sanger Zonvolt]] shows up barechested and does this trope after having already shown one of the bustiest characters in the series and a loli outdoing her.
* ''[[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]]'' has two characters that do this. Juandissimo Magnifico, Wanda's ex-boyfriend, does this along with his constant [[Shirtless Scene|magic shirt ripping]].

{{quote| '''Crocker''': Those are some massive pecs.}}
* Super Macho Man from ''[[Punch -Out!!]]'' introduces himself before a fight with a Pec Flex.

Line 23:
* Slaking's Diamond/Pearl animation in ''[[Pokémon]]'' has it Pec Flex. Of course, they don't necessarily have to be male....
** Machoke in Crystal, too. And Machamp in Black/White. Once again, one out of four is female...
** The only time anyone's chest shakes in [[Pokémon (Animeanime)|the anime]] is when the obese Gligarman does it in surprise. [[Fan Disservice|Homina homina--NO.]]
* Alex Louis Armstrong of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (Mangamanga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]''. It has been '''♥♥♥ [[Large Ham|PASSED DOWN THE ARMSTRONG LINE FOR GENERATIONS]]! ♥♥♥'''

{{quote| ''"Valor a hundredfold~[[! Muscle a thousandfold~]]!"''}}
*** Speaking of Curtis, his Pec Flex was so epic his shirt ''exploded''.
* ''[[Supernatural]]''. [http://i48.tinypic.com/e0hjqw.gif Sam Winchester], season one, episode seventeen. You're ''welcome.''

* On ''[[Scrubs]]'', the [[Almighty Janitor|Janitor]] claims that [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRNhcuhIpko running into J.D. encouraging a muscular guy to do this] is what made him suspect he was gay. Being a consummate liar, the [[Imagine Spot]] story is complete fiction.
* "[[The Slayers]]''
{{quote| ''I wanna do that! But I can't!"}}

Line 41:
* Done often in Professional Wrestling, usually right before a match begins or right after executing a really awesome move.
