Line 20:
* ''[[Franken Fran]]'' takes this to a horrifying extreme -- [[Bandage Babe|Adorea]] has zippers all over her SKIN.
* Chuck from ''[[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt|Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt]]'' is basically [[Invader Zim|GIR]] with Zippers for ears and his tail.
* While most of the exorcist uniforms in ''[[D.Gray-man]]'' have zippers (and relatively large ones at that) Allen's second uniform probably takes the cake. The longest zipper winds around his whole left arm right down to the back of his hand.
Line 52:
== Video Games ==
* [[Square Enix]] in general, and [[Tetsuya Nomura]] in particular, are overly fond of this trope to levels that would have made Freud proud.
** ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''' Sora is the reigning king of this trope and probably the first person to come to most people's minds when this trope is mentioned. Even though his KH2 and KH3D outfits only features zippers on his jacket and zippers on his shoes, which really isn't all that weird when it comes to placement of zippers. Kairi features a pretty zipperific dress as well. In the same game, [[Donald Duck]] has a zipper on his ''hat''.
** Hell, EVERYTHING Nobody-related has a zipper. Zipper mouths, anyone?
*** It might even be said that the dynamic between the Nobodies and Heartless could parallel Nomura's use of [[Memetic Mutation|zippers and belts]].
Line 59:
** It's a little known fact that Sora is almost identical to Sion from ''[[The Bouncer]]'', from whence the zippers came.
** It's almost a self-parody, as at the beginning of the first ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'', they said they got their belts-and-zippers outfits in order to blend in to the world full of KH original characters.
* Kyle of ''[[Atelier Annie]]'' wears a [[Badass Longcoat]] with a truly righteous zipper in front.
* ''[[Harvest Moon]]'' side-series ''Rune Factory Frontier'' has Candy and Cinnamon, both with zippers on the sides of their hats.
* Ah, ''[[
** The most prominent feature of Tager's outfit is his two '''Gigantic Zippers'''!
** Carl wears a giant zipper-pull as a bow tie.
Line 75:
== Real Life ==
* [[Truth in Television]]; just walk into your local Hot Topic store (or similar "Goth" clothing shop), and behold.
** Though not clothes, there are pencil cases and bags made entirely out of zippers.
*** There are [http://www.britannica.com/blogs/2009/04/the-zipper-dress-a-sebastian-errazuriz-design/ clothes too]
** Not only goth stores anymore as of 2009 or so, it seems to be a fad that's catching on even in higher-end, more fashion-forward stores as well as places like Forever 21.

{{quote|'''[[The Stinger|Waldorf]]''': That Nomura guy puts way too many zippers on his characters.
'''[[The Muppet Show|Statler]]''': I don't know, I think they could still use a few more.
'''[[Statler and Waldorf|Waldorf]]''': You do?
'''[[Those Two Guys|Statler]]''': Yeah. Over their mouths!
'''[[Memetic Mutation|Both]]''': Do-ho-ho-ho-hoh!
