* If Creator/{{Disney}} fans remember the animated short film "Pecos Bill" at all, it's often as ''"The one with the gorgeous [[HeroesWantRedheads redheaded]] {{cow|boy}}girl with the big butt"''. It probably doesn't help that it was in the relatively obscure 1948 anthology film ''WesternAnimation/MelodyTime'', which is otherwise considered to be one of Disney's more forgettable early films.

** While the Olympics doesn't actually require women beach volleyvall players to wear the two piece bikini bottom and sports bra, it is generally the default uniform. Some countries DO require female players to wear that outfit in some sports: In 2021 the European Handball Federation fined the women's Norwegian Handball team for not wearing the outfit.

* The cabarets in UsefulNotes/{{Paris}}. Everyone expects to see showgirls there, from scantily clad and/or bare-breasted (the Lido or Le Moulin Rouge for instance) to wearing nothing at all (at the Theatre/CrazyHorse).

* Long before she briefly married ComicBook/CaptainAtom, Plastique made her debut in ''ComicBook/FirestormDCComics'' issue 7 as a [[UsefulNotes/{{Quebec}} Quebec separatist]] terrorist with an [[ActionBomb explosive-laden]] [[SpyCatsuit catsuit]]. Most memorably, of course, was the way Firestorm [[DefeatByModesty defeated her]] by [[TheNudifier disintegrating her costume]], carrying off her bombs to detonate safely, and undermining her attempted martyrdom and political statement by leaving the hapless villainess [[ShamefulStrip standing naked in front of live TV cameras]] while having a NakedFreakOut and [[HandOrObjectUnderwear desperately trying to cover herself]].

** ComicBook/{{Rogue}} is a overlapping example with the ''WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries'' as the general populace knows her best for flying around in SensualSpandex (especially one [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT36ZYW7R-R3c20bGwV_tV1TKDJs_Q7v4--nQ&usqp=CAU particularly famous moment]] in said cartoon where she’s lying on the ground in front of Apocalypse butt to camera). That time she wore a FurBikini in Savage Land is talked more about than her character development.
** ComicBook/{{Storm}} going around in {{Stripperiffic}} attire and outright GodivaHair is what often she’s best known in comics alongside her WeatherManipulation.
** Characters/{{Emma Frost|WhiteQueen}} and her preference for [[{{Stripperiffic}} as-skimpy-as-can-be costumes]] without getting herself arrested.

* Averted by Creator/SylvesterStallone. Most people are not aware that he started his career in a softcore pornography movie.

* All know ComicBook/{{Vampirella}} for her iconic {{Stripperiffic}} red sling suit and that she's a [[VampiresAreSexGods vampire]], but very few know anything about the setting or her backstory. Much like Characters/PowerGirl, when it was changed, fans protested.

* ''Podcast/KakosIndustries'' is a show placed in an interesting alternate, and much sexier, setting of the real world where being Evil is the norm of society. The characters are interesting, the music is catchy, and the writing is full of humor and fast wit...[[ArousedByTheirVoice But who cares when the main narrator's voice sounds like smooth, delicious honey glazing over your virgin ear canals.]]

* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': [[Characters/MarvelComicsMaryJaneWatson Mary Jane Watson]] and [[ComicBook/BlackCat Felicia Hardy/Black Cat]] both provide {{Fanservice}} in the majority of their appearances in the franchise. This is due to their professions as a fashion [[FanserviceModel model/actress and Felicia's [[SpyCatsuit choice of clothing]] as well as being a [[ClassyCatBurglar sexy cat thief]] and a [[FemmeFatale seductress]], it's not surprising.

* [[Characters/MarvelComicsMaryJaneWatson Mary Jane Watson]] and [[ComicBook/BlackCat Black Cat]] are among [[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman the most beautiful women]] in all of [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse Marvel]]. This due to their professions as a fashion model / FanserviceModel and a ClassyCatBurglar / SexyCatPerson respectively. Their physical beauty blurs the line between world class and divine. The [[spoiler: late]] Gwen Stacy does come close by a hair.
** Speaking of Gwen Stacy, the only reason that the Mexican Spider-Man comics from the 1970s are discussed by English speakers [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Spiderman/comments/rx3y5a/in_the_70s_marvel_let_a_mexican_publisher_put_out/ is due to the size of her posterior in those comics]].

* All anyone remembers about "The Lunacy of Duke Venomania" in the ''Music/EvilliousChronicles'' is the attractiveness of the [[{{Bishonen}} titular character]] and how he magically brainwashes a harem full of woman he kidnapped into being his sex slaves. And sometimes the [[MythologyGag cameo from Josephine]]. In fact, it's quite possibly the best-known song in the series behind the beloved Daughter of Evil and Servant of Evil for this reason. You'll find few people who know the backstory or emotional themes behind the whole ordeal, even though they are hinted at in the song.

* The British commercials for Cadbury Caramel Chocolate (called Carmello in the United States) had the Cadbury Caramel Bunny, an attractive anthropomorphic bunny who starred in several animated commercials where she offers the aforementioned candy to other animals who find themselves enamored toward her. And apparently alot of humans found her attractive too, since a Scottish newspaper called Edinburgh Evening News voted her the 3rd sexiest cartoon character of all time. To put this in perspective, WesternAnimation/BettyBoop was placed second while [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Jessica Rabbit]] was voted in first place.

* ''WesternAnimation/FireAndIce'': Princess Tigra. She wore absolutely nothing but a ''skimpy bikini'' throughout the entire film. 'Nuff said.

* ''Animation/ElArca'' is mostly remembered for the bottom-heavy lioness Kairel and, to a greater extent, the top-heavy pantheress Panty. Not to mention Panthy's dance scene. Wasn't it also based on Noah's Ark?

* The most infamous sketch in the ''WebAnimation/Nin10Doh'' trilogy of parody videos, even to those who haven't watched them, is the ''VideoGame/PokemonSnap'' one in the 2nd installment. While all three of the videos have some fanservice in them, the ''Pokémon Snap'' sketch takes it into overdrive where Todd takes pictures of anthropomorphic female Pokemon in really skimpy bikinis, some of them even going topless (albeit censored). This caused all video copies on [=YouTube=] to be either restricted to adults or the sketch itself removed. The 3rd installment of the series greatly toned down the fanservice, likely in response to the sketch and the reputation it gave the series.

* ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDxd'' is infamous for its gratuitous {{Fanservice}} (particularly in the anime adaptation) and a perverted hero who constantly talks about breasts. However, said hero is an AffectionateParody of [[ShonenDemographic Shōnen]]-style protagonists who is [[ChivalrousPervert genuinely heroic and respectful towards women]], and the characters and setting are surprisingly well-developed.
* ''LightNovel/HorizonInTheMiddleOfNowhere'' is a sprawling high fantasy world with the benefit of a veteran writer with several series under his belt, each sharing common themes and concepts throughout their [[TheVerse shared universe]]. Every trope is examined, played with, and ultimately justified. The JustForFun/HolyShitQuotient is high, the soundtrack is orgasmic, and the world-building is matched only by the sheer amount of characterization. On the other hand, [[MemeticMutation balloon tits]].

* ''LightNovel/ThePetGirlOfSakurasou'' is almost entirely character drama, TearJerker moments, and realistic struggles with life and romance. But most non-fans are only aware of [[SexSells the heavily advertised couple of scenes]] where a [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} spaced-out girl]] [[InnocentFanserviceGirl gets naked]]. And the title makes the whole thing look like a [[HaremGenre Harem Series]].

->''"''''Film/{{Catwoman|2004}}'' ''is a movie about Creator/HalleBerry's beauty, sex appeal, figure, eyes, lips and costume design. It gets those right. Everything else is secondary, except for the plot, which is tertiary."''

* [[Characters/MarvelComicsMaryJaneWatson Mary Jane Watson]] and [[ComicBook/BlackCat Black Cat]] are among [[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman the most beautiful women]] in all of [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse Marvel]]. This due to their professions as a FashionModel / FanserviceModel and a ClassyCatBurglar / SexyCatPerson respectively. Their physical beauty blurs the line between world class and divine. The [[spoiler: late]] Gwen Stacy does come close by a hair.

* Edouard Manet's most famous paintings are ''[[Art/LeDejeunerSurLHerbe Luncheon on the Grass]]'' and ''Art/{{Olympia}}''. Both caused scandals for their risque content. At the time, nudity in art was only acceptable when it came to fantasy creatures like nymphs, angels, mermaids, fairies, etc. The former showed an everyday woman sitting in public, completely naked alongside two (clothed) gentlemen. The latter featured what was either a prostitute or a mistress lying naked on her bed.

* Sandro Botticelli's most famous painting is ''Art/{{The Birth of Venus|Botticelli}}'' - which depicts the goddess Venus emerging from a clam shell fully naked, with [[HandOrObjectUnderwear hands half-heartedly covering things]].

* [[Characters/MarvelComicsMaryJaneWatson Mary Jane Watson]] and [[ComicBook/BlackCat Black Cat]] are among [[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman the most beautiful women]] in all of [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Marvel]]. This due to their professions as a FashionModel / FanserviceModel and a ClassyCatBurglar / SexyCatPerson respectively. Their physical beauty blurs the line between world class and divine.
