What Is This Feeling?: Difference between revisions

== Anime ==

 

* Checkmate from ''Ultimate Muscle'' was trained by [[Big Bad|Sunshine]] not to feel pain. He experiences an odd sensation after his opponent attacks his knee for an entire episode, at which point Sunshine is forced to reveal that he only ''thinks'' he can't feel pain.

* Something of a regular plot point in ''[[Darker Than Black]]'', as it's assumed by everybody (including [[Tin Man|Contractors themselves]]) that Contractors are inherently [[Lack of Empathy|unemotional, selfish, and amoral]]. When those pesky emotions ''do'' finally show up, [[Not So Stoic|most aren't exactly sure what to do with them]].

* Happened to [[Suzumiya Haruhi|Haruhi Suzumiya]], after she helped the schoolband ENOZ out. They were very grateful but Haruhi didn't really know to handle it and becomes sort of melancholic. Kyon then figures that it is because she's not used to being thanked by other people.

* Mytho from ''[[Princess Tutu]]'' asks this question constantly throughout the series. It makes sense, because he shattered his heart (and thus lost his emotions) to seal away the evil Raven, and slowly regains emotions with each piece of his heart he is given by the title character.

* [[Emotionless Girl|Ren]] of [[Elemental Gelade]] has to be taught jealousy. It works!

 

* In the full length movie version of [[The Grinch]], The Grinch has this reaction when the Who's song fills him with joy. He also suffers from what looks like a heart attack caused by his heart rapidly growing.

* Giselle's first experience with anger in ''[[Enchanted]]''.

{{quote| '''[[Emma Watson]]''': Hermione doesn't realize what it is that she's feeling, but it's probably just insane jealousy.}}

 

* ''[[Gossip Girl]]'s'' Chuck Bass when he first comes upon feelings of love. "''I feel sick, like there's... something in my stomach. Fluttering.''" Poor fellow, the object of his affection promptly informs him that the butterflies have ''got'' to be murdered.

* [[Seinfeld]] episode "The Serenity Now". Jerry's current girlfriend challenges him to openly express his feelings, in this case, anger. This backfires as he becomes overly angry about everything, leading to the girlfriend eventually dumping him. For the first time, Jerry actually reacts to this not-too-uncommon turn of events, to which Elaine responds "Jerry, you break up with a girl every week!" Jerry, mystified by his own emotions, touches his eyes and says "W-what is this salty discharge?" Elaine: "Oh my God, you're crying." "That's horrible. I care!"

{{quote| '''Hedford/Companion''': Loneliness... this is loneliness. Oh, what a bitter thing. Oh Zefram, it's so sad, how do you bear it, this loneliness?}}

 

 

* Draco does this in [[A Very Potter Musical]], experiencing... certain feelings and sensations for the first time when he sees the cleaned-up Hermione. It becomes one of the show's Crowning Moments of Funny because Draco is played by a girl. Ron has a similar but much more subtle reaction during the scene.

** And then there's the song that would be the [[Trope Namer]] if the phrase wasn't [[Older Than Television]]. For humor, the description of the mutual feeling Elphaba and Galinda have for each other is described to imply [[Les Yay]] before revealing what it really is: Loathing.

*** [[Foe Yay|Loathing]], [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|eh]]? [[Word of God]] has [[Word of Gay|said]]..

* [[Zero Punctuation]]:

{{quote| '''Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw:''' But after I'd played for a couple of hours, a strange thing happened; I was actually having fun. I know, it was a weird and frightening realization.}}

* King Julien when he feels guilt for the first time, in ''[[The Penguins of Madagascar]]'', "Assault And Batteries":

{{quote| But what is this feeling I am feeling? It is not a happiness. It is a feeling that I have not done all I should have done! I do not like it! How do I make it go away?}}

* Wally in an episode of the ''Dilbert'' TV show had an experience like this. He had been hypnotized to do work. When it wore off, he mused to the effect of "What is this? I feel unclean. More so than usual."
