While aggressive hugs are nothing new (in [[Real Life]] or in media) the use of the term "Glomp" to describe them appears to have stemmed from its use as a sound effect in early manga translations by [[Viz Media]]. (One folk etymology asserts that it stands for ''"Grab, Latch On, Maintain Pressure"'' but that is a backronym applied to the word after it became popular.) The word itself appears to be a mutation of the established English word "glom" which means "to grab; to latch on" (as found in the words "agglomeration" and "conglomerate") with a final "p" sound added to give it more of a sense of definite action. Can function as an onomatopoeia.
Line 149 ⟶ 150:
* In ''[[All Fall Down]]'', Grace tackles Sophie with one of these after seeing her for the first time in months.
== [[Fan Works]] ==▼
* You can bet a lot of [[Voice Actors]] are victims of this at anime conventions. There is a clip of [[Vic Mignogna]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6gngbvC14U getting glomped by several girls at once!]▼
** [[Travis Willingham]] has been known to tell [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aABILfDUFw a story] where someone tried to glomp him at his first con and he, not understanding what was about to happen, put his shoulder out like a football player trying to get through a tackle (the man is built like a linebacker, to boot). Suffice to say, he doesn't get glomped very often anymore.▼
* A fan once did this to [[Greg Ayres]] at the top of a flight of stairs while his back was turned, causing both to tumble down the stairs. Is it any wonder cons are cracking down on these?▼
* A convention related one, during an episode of Voiceprint with Trevor Devall and guests interviewing [[Scott McNeil]], Soctt admitted to being afraid of that term and all, for him once having being glomped and did something painful to his back at the time, so I don't think more needs to be said some voice Actors may be a tad cautious around the word Glomp itself.▼
▲== Fan Works ==
* Haruhi and Tsuruya glomp the already-hugging Nagato and Mikuru in ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'', {{spoiler|whilst Kyon is in a hospital recovering from being shot.}}
* Starfire's reaction during ''JLA Watchtower''
== [[Film]] ==
Line 174 ⟶ 166:
* One of the most heartwarming scenes in ''[[Across the Universe (film)|Across the Universe]]'' is towards the end, when Jude returns to the US legally. Max meets him at the airport and they share a massive man-hug.
* Esmeralda does to Quasimodo at the end of ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'' just right after [[Big Bad|Frollo]] falls to his doom, and Quasimodo is rescued by Phoebus.
== [[Literature]] ==
Line 182 ⟶ 173:
** Neville gets glomped by every Gryffindor that can reach him when his house points win them the cup at the end of the first book.
== [[Live
* Chiana did this to John in an episode of ''[[Farscape]]''; for effect, the camera tilted as she did so. She's more than a little insane at that point in the series.
* On ''[[The Office]]'' (USA), Michael glomps Jim after learning that Jim and Pam are engaged.
Line 202 ⟶ 193:
* In ''[[Glee]]'', when Blaine transfers to McKinley, he gets glomped by Kurt for his trouble. Of course, since they're madly in love it's definitely the second, bowled-over-with-affection kind of glomp.
* Done by Arya to Jon in the second episode of ''[[Game of Thrones]]'' after he gives her a sword. This is done to demonstrate that of all the Stark siblings she had the closest relationship with Jon, despite only a brief few seconds onscreen together the previous episode, a plot point that the show was unable to go into for reasons to time.
== [[Video Games]] ==
Line 272 ⟶ 262:
* In the 2012 Valentine's Day [[Google Doodle]], this is how the boy knows the girl likes him.
* [[The Nostalgia Chick]], mourning the death of Dark!Nella, is surprised to find the {{spoiler|non-clone}}Nella come running out of the ocean and deliver a sopping wet Glomp.
== [[Western Animation]] ==
Line 302 ⟶ 291:
* Pepe Le Pew frequently does this in ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' shorts, particularly to cats who have accidentally acquired a white paint stripe down their backs.
** Same for [[Tiny Toon Adventures|Fifi La Fume]] when pursuing TT characters such as Furball, Calamity Coyote and Little Beeper.
**
* Bloo does this to Mac in the opening of ''[[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]''.
** "Marge in Chains": In one of the conjugal visit trailers, Marge aggressively glomps Homer for sex, which then turns over the trailer.
{{quote|'''Homer''': Honey, I don't know what you're feeling, right now. So I don't want to push anything. We can just hold hands or sit and talk...
Line 313 ⟶ 303:
* Fluttershy from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'' glomps Pinkie Pie in the episode "Over a Barrel" when she returns from the Buffalo Camp.
** Spike also glomps Fluttershy in "Feeling Pinkie Keen" when he finds out she hasn't exploded twice.
▲* On ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'', Elmyra does this to any and all animals, sometimes to the point of hurting them.
