{{examples|Examples}}
== Anime &and Manga ==
* ''[[Future GPX Cyber Formula (Anime)|Future GPX Cyber Formula]]'': Asuka started out as one and her role is later filled by Megumi and Satsuki in the last 2 OVAS. Rena Yuuki from the games counts as one as well.
* Mirai Ozora has this role during a car race in ''[[Moldiver (Anime)|Moldiver]]''.
* The [[Hentai]] manga ''Koisuru Race Queen'' by Chataro.
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|Hideyoshi Kinoshita]] of ''[[Baka to Test To Shoukanjuu (Light Novel)|Baka to Test To Shoukanjuu]]'' is forced into this during a test battle he is not participating in. He tries to back out by pointing out that he isn't a girl, but this argument fails.
 
 
== Films -- Live-Action ==
* ''The Black Dahlia''
* The ''[[Rocky (Filmfilm)|Rocky]]'' movies. In the first ''Rocky'', the ring girl is dressed like the Statue of Liberty with silver makeup for the Bicentennial theme the champion Apollo Creed is promoting. A nice detail is her bound hair gets more unkempt as the fight (which most people didn't think would last three rounds) goes on for the entire fifteen. In ''Rocky II'', for the rematch between Rocky and Apollo there are TWO ring girls, a black one and a white one wearing swimsuits, alternating each round.
 
 
Line 39 ⟶ 37:
* This is commonly featured in racing games.
** ''Cruis'n USA'' features one. The Nintendo 64 version gave her a way more conservative attire.
** ''[[Need for Speed (Video Game)|Need for Speed]] Underground'' and ''Carbon'' have these during the starting countdown. ''Underground 2'', however, upped the ante by occasionally using a pair of [[Faux Yay|stage lesbians]].
* As well as the comedy boxing game, ''Facebreaker'', which focuses on very [[Stripperiffic|Stripperifficly]]ly dressed round girls at the start of each round.
* Parodied in ''Wade Hixton's Counter Punch'', where the round card is carried by Mona, a frumpy, clearly jaded bar waitress.
* ''Fight Night Round 3'', at least, made sure to feature the ring girls between rounds. What's it mean when I got more entertainment from listening to the advice given to my boxer and his opponent?
* ''[[Neverwinter Nights (Video Game)|Neverwinter Nights]]'': Aribeth doesn't actually do anything other than stand around dispensing rewards and angsting until she does her [[Face Heel Turn]] (and keeps doing stuff after she dies).
* ''[[Monday Night Combat (Video Game)|Monday Night Combat]]'' features one actually ''named'' [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Pit Girl]]. She also has elements of a [[Wrench Wench]].
* Kiya carries the round cards during the boxing stage of ''[[Medi EvilMediEvil 2 (Video Game)|Medi Evil 2]]''. Oddly, she wears more clothes than usual.
* ''[[Street Fighter (Franchise)|Street Fighter]]'' managed to get by for 21 years without, but finally gave in, featuring them in one of the stages of ''[[Street Fighter IV (Video Game)|Street Fighter IV]]'' alongside the usual round indicator.
* [[The King of Fighters]] '97 is the only game in the series to have card girls, for some reason.
* ''[[Crash Team Racing (Video Game)|Crash Team Racing]]'' has four [[Petting Zoo People]] girls with parasols who present trophies to the winners of the races. They're not particularly dressed very skimpily, though they have [[Jiggle Physics]].
 
 
== Western Animation ==
* [[Camp Gay|Xandir]] takes on this role at least once in ''[[Drawn Together]]''.
* It was suggested that [[Wrench Wench|Kiva]] do this in one episode of ''[[Megas XLR (Animation)|Megas XLR]]'' due to the fact that the current round card girl was a squarish robot. [[Rule of Funny|In a bikini]].
* On the ''[[Family Guy (Animation)|Family Guy]]'' episode where Meg joins the school newspaper, Lois worries that if Meg doesn't get into Brown University, she'll end up as a pit girl for bum fights.
* A pit girl is featured in ''You're a Good Sport, Charlie Brown''. If memory serves, the winner was supposed to get a kiss from her. Weird, in that nobody in the cast of ''[[Peanuts (Comic Strip)|Peanuts]]'' is over 9.
** [[What Could Have Been]] if [[Ho Yay|Peppermint Patty]] won ...
* In ''[[Wakfu (Animation)|Wakfu]]'', the first Gobbowl 3-episode arc features various [[Fanservice Extra|Fanservice Extras]]s of this kind, like the bikini-clad cowgirls ridding gobbals, or the two "bunny girls" (their costumes close to that of a [[Playboy Bunny]], but with two little horns instead of rabbit ears) flanking the announcer.
