Line 27:
* [[Sailor Moon]]'s gasp in the [[Super S]] movie is really overblown, moreso in the English dub. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maQcHEruLdM Any oxygen left in the castle?]

* ''[[Hoodwinked]]''.
* All of the ''[[Toy Story]]'' films.
* ''Jonah: A [[Veggie Tales (Animation)|Veggie Tales]] Movie''. Jonah, Khalil, and the Pirates all take turns at dramatic gasping when they see just what "The Slap of No Return" is, before all doing a simultaneous gasp.
* In one scene of ''[[Open Season 2]]'', a slightly aged Elliot does a long gasp after a slightly older Boog says to a slightly older Giselle, "We're partners, right?".
* In one scene of ''[[Open Season 3]]'', Giselle, Gisela, and Giselita all gasp after Doug (who is disguised as Boog) yells at them to go get him more berries and to massage his paws.
* In ''[[Shrek]] 2'', the three girls who discover the newly human Shrek dramatically gasp (and smile) when Donkey says "First we need to get you out of those clothes."
* There is a scene in ''[[Alvin and the Chipmunks (Film)|Alvinandthe Chipmunks]]: The Squeakquel'' where the Chipmunks and Chipettes gasp upon seeing each other.
* Several women in the crowd during the climax of ''[[Mulan]]'' do this when the Huns show up, complete with shaking their heads 'no'.
* Everyone (and we do mean ''[[Overly Long Gag|everyone]]'') in the town of Swallow Falls does this in ''[[Cloudy Withwith a Chance of Meatballs]]'' after Flint's food machine produces a rain of cheeseburgers. Flint's gasp is especially and hilariously protracted.
* In ''[[Titanic: theThe Legend Goes On]]'', Angelica gasps dramatically several times when she's on the boat.
* There are several occurrences of this in ''[[The Return of Hanuman]]''.
* The ''[[Kung Fu Panda]]'' franchise.
* In ''[[Beauty and The Beast (Disney)|Beauty and Thethe Beast]]'', Belle does a quick gasp and turns away in horror when she first sees Beast.
 
== [[Film]] - Live Action ==
* ''[[Max KeeblesKeeble's Big Move]]''.
* Done for comedy in ''[[Spaceballs (Film)|Spaceballs]]''. When Dark Helmet orders Colonel Sandurz to go to "Ludicrous Speed!" everybody on the bridge gasps.
* And in a non-animated example, Floop gasps and twitches when Minion turns on him in the first ''[[Spy Kids]]'' movie.
* In ''[[Scott Pilgrim]]'', Envy does this one as part of her natural [[Chewing the Scenery|scenery chewing.]]
Line 74:
* ''[[Are We There Yet?]]''
** ''[[Are We Done Yet]]''
* [[Christopher Lloyd]] is ''really'' good at these; a perfect example comes in the first ''[[Back to Thethe Future (Filmfilm)|Back to The Future]]'', where Doc Brown gets a classic reaction face when a burning wind-up car drives into a pile of oily rags.
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
Line 83:
* ''[[Good Times]]''.
* ''[[Boy Meets World]]''. A [[Running Joke]] was Shawn and Cory doing exaggerated gasps, followed by "TO-PAN-GA!"
* ''[[Angel (TV)|Angel]]''. Cordelia does this when spoofing the Buffy/Angel romance in "Fredless".
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
Line 98:
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* Seen in [http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0356.html this episode] of ''[[Darths and Droids]]'', then doubled for good measure [http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0357.html an episode later].
* [http://xkcd.com/742/ This] ''[[Xkcd (Webcomic)|Xkcd]]''-strip.
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Used in the ''[[Yogi Bear (Animation)|Yogi Bear]]'' franchise.
* The ''Flintstones'' franchise.
* Used in ''[[Batman: theThe Animated Series]]'' and ''[[Gargoyles]]'', which stick out like sore thumbs, compared to the rest of those series.
* Pic comes from ''[[Care Bears]] in Wonderland''.
* In the DVD commentaries, the creators joke that ''[[Futurama (Animation)|Futurama]]'' has more gasps per episode than any other show ever.
** Lampshaded in one episode when after repeated shocking statements, one man faints. A doctor rushes to his side and announces "This man has over-gasped!"
* ''[[Arthur (Animationanimation)|Arthur]]''
* The eponymous [[Disney Fairies|Tinkerbell]] causes an entire group of fairies to gasp and recoil, hands rising to their faces in horror at Tink causing a stampede.
* ''[[Total Drama Island (Animation)|Total Drama Island]]'' is rather fond of these, either individually or in groups. It's particularly common when contestants are surprised at an elimination.
** The TDA episode ''Oceans Eight Or Nine'' parodies this by showing overdramatic GASP shots of Beth, Lindsay, Justin and then Lindsay ''again'', followed by a [[Shrug Take]] from Duncan.
*** The TDWT finale uses exactly the same format (list of [[GASP|GASPs]] and then a [[Shrug Take]]), although the characters who perform the actions are different. The character who performs the [[Shrug Take]] ([[Deadpan Snarker|Noah]]) had been revealed to already be aware of the "shocking revelation" nine episodes earlier.
Line 115:
* Rob Paulsen deserves a trophy for this trope, whether playing Pinky, Yakko, or nearly anyone else.
* Definitely used many times on ''[[The Simpsons]]'' from various characters.
* ''[[Veggie Tales (Animation)|Veggie Tales]]''.
* ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]''.

* The ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' shows.
* ''[[American Dragon Jake Long]]''.
* ''[[Caillou]]''.
* ''[[Hey Arnold]]''
* The ''[[Veggie Tales (Animation)|Veggie Tales]]'' franchise
* The ''[[Inspector Gadget]]'' franchise
 
Line 147:
 
== [[Radio]] ==
* ''[[I'm Sorry, IllI'll Read That Again]]'' had characters saying 'gasp' pretty often. The most notable example is probably when the entire cast, upon being told that their in-universe radio station is being closed down, react with "''SHOCKED GASP!''"
 
== [[Theater]] ==
Line 154:
== [[Web Animation]] ==
* See ''[[The Demented Cartoon Movie]]'' for this taken to its logical extreme.
* Spelled out in ''[[Bonus Stage (Webweb Animationanimation)|Bonus Stage]]'' episode Evil's New Groove.
* ''[[Homestar Runner]]'' uses a "GASP!" stock effect whenever a character declares they're going to do something daring (or [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|what they think is daring]].) A good example is [http://homestarrunner.com/xmas08.html Decemberween].
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Parodied in ''[[Fairly Oddparents]]'' a couple of times, at one point which Timmy's dad yells, "'''GIGA.GASP!!!'''"
* Parodied in an episode of ''[[The Oblongs (Animation)|The Oblongs]]'' where a crowd of people continually gasp until it's revealed it was just Mikey's (the ass kid) asthma.
* One of the episodes of ''[[Word Girl]]'' features "gasp" as one of the words to look out for. To help show the definition of the word and make sure they could work in the word as much as possible, the characters engage in this the entire episode. It's done ''so'' much that it's taken to the point of an [[Overly Long Gag]], and Tobey even gets fed-up at one point and shouts "Will you STOP doing that??" after the crowd gasps for the umpteenth time.
* In one episode of ''[[The Penguins of Madagascar]]'', everyone gasps upon hearing that Mort had been kidnapped. Everyone, that is, except King Julien, who momentarily forgets who Mort is, then reassures them that "I too am gasping in horror, but on the inside."
* [[Bugs Bunny/Characters|Bugs Bunny]] actually says "Gasp!" in the short ''Falling Hare'', after turning around to accost the gremlin who almost tricked him into setting off a bomb with a hammer, and finding that the gremlin has vanished.
* Spoofed and given bonus points (obviously) in the ''[[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarePants]]'' episode "Imitation Krabs."

== Web Original ==
