History Main / WhipItGood

* The Heat Rod is a whip-like weapon that appears on several HumongousMecha from the ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' multiverse, most famously the MS-07 Gouf (but not its successor, the MS-09... which is strange when you consider its name was Dom). In the Universal Century it's a metal tentacle that can be electrified. In ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'' it's a super-heated WhipSword. In ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeedDestiny'' it resembles the UC version but can also be super-heated. In ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'', CuteBruiser Allenby's Nobel Gundam is equipped with energy whips that look an awful lot like decorative ribbons.

* In ''VideoGame/HeroesOfMightAndMagic'', dark elf matriarchs dress in dominatrix gear and wield whips. (These dark elves are clearly based on the female dominated drow from ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''.) (Yeah, they probably have nothing to do with similarly half naked dark elf witches from warhammer. And the dark riders also are nothing similar to dark one riders.
** In ''VideoGame/HeroesOfMightAndMagic III'' there were the Pit Fiends/Lords.

* Tygra in both ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats}} [=ThunderCats=]]]'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats 2011}} [=ThunderCats (2011)=]]]'' uses one.

* While whips aren't available as weapons in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', the Succubus demon (one of the Warlock class minions) uses one.

* From the Midnight Crew Intermission of ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', [[FemmeFatale Snowman]] of the [[GangOfHats The Felt]] uses one of these, combined with [[RevolversAreJustBetter a revolver]] to take [[VillainProtagonist Slick's]] arm off. Needless to say, [[FetishFuel she has a few fans]].[[hottip:* : It may interest you to know she is a [[HumanoidAliens carapaced alien monster.]]

* {{They Might Be Giants}}' "Minimum Wage" has a whipcrack sound right after the only lyrics: "Minimum wage...''hyah''!"

* One of Morrigan's more memorable winposes in the ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'' series has Lilith descending from the sky bound at the wrists while Morrigan changes to a dominatrix outfit, whip at the ready. This was supposedly taken out of the American version, but I (and a number of concerned parents) still saw it.

** Dark Eldar, being, well, [[FetishFuel Dark Eldar]], actually have not one, but several different whip-like weapons. The most common one is the Agoniser, which causes the victim's nervous system to go haywire, burning out their nerves and inflicting horrible pain. Then there's the Electrocorrosive Whip, an electrified whip designed to cause debilitating pain and sap the victim's strength. Dark Eldar Wytches sometimes use Razorflails which are {{Whip Sword}}s that can switch between sword- and whip-forms at the user's will. Besides these exotic weapons, Dark Eldar Beastmasters often use regular bullwhips to goad their beasts into battle.

* Maid Marion in ''TheNewAdventuresOfRobinHood''.

* In the intro for ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'', Woody is shown to be quite adept with a whip.

[[folder:Live Action TV]]

* In an episode of the ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'' TV series, Princess Jasmine is [[BrainwashedAndCrazy turned against the heroes]] by HarmlessVillain [[MeaningfulName Abis Mal]]. She gets the dominatrix whip ''and'' the black, as-close-to-dominatrix-gear-as-Disney-will-allow outfit ''and'' the dominatrix attitude. ''{{Evil is Sex|y}}ier [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses With Princesses!!]]''

** In ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', the metalbending police of Republic City use metallic whips as their primary weapon. Chief Lin Bei Fong, as the creator of the technique is particularly skilled with them.

* Stiletta from ''[[JonahHex Hex]]'' in Franchise/TheDCU.

* Creator/MichellePfeiffer, who played Catwoman in ''Film/BatmanReturns'', was said to be a natural with a whip... which just added to the sexy factor for the already sexy actress. According to the "making of" doc that aired before the movie's release, she pulled off the "whip-the-heads-off-of-five-mannequins" stunt on her '''''first try.''''' [[FetishFuel Scary. Hot. Scary-Hot.]]

* Sydney Savage from ''DangerGirl''.

* A memorable scene from ''Film/{{Glory}}'' features DenzelWashington's character being lashed with a whip for disobedience.

* Drow high priestesses from R.A. Salvatore's ''[[TheDarkElfTrilogy Homeland]]'' and ''Sojourn'' use whips. Six-thonged, living, snake-headed whips that deliver poison when they bite. Compliment them on their {{Stripperiffic}} bondage outfits at your peril.
** Also see WarOfTheSpiderQueen.

* In ''JohnnyMnemonic'', the yakuza assassin's thumb detaches to provide the ballast for a monofilament whip housed in his hand. He uses it to battle the razorgirl Molly Millions.

* In ''{{Deadwood}}'', Calamity Jane briefly displays her prowess with the bullwhip.

* The villain Mistral from MetalGearRising connects four robot arms together to make a ''very'' long (roughly twice her height) pole-arm weapon. Since it's made out of robot arms that she can control remotely it can be either a sturdy staff or a flexible whip.

* Creator/MichellePfeiffer, who played Catwoman in ''Film/BatmanReturns'', was said to be a natural with a whip... which just added to the sexy factor for the already sexy actress.
** According to the "making of" doc that aired before the movie's release, she pulled off the "whip-the-heads-off-of-five-mannequins" stunt on her '''''first try.''''' [[FetishFuel Scary. Hot. Scary-Hot.]]

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'''s Rydia is an aversion; in her adult form, she wields a whip, but she's not otherwise sultry or [[TheVamp vamp-ish]].
** Her use of the whip is probably related to her ability to [[SummonMagic summon and command magical beasts]]. It's a crappy weapon, and generally the worst offensive option for her in any fight. Then again, given that she's the party's BlackMagicianGirl on top of being a Summoner means that "Fight" is usually the ''last'' command you should be selecting in the first place, unless you're the kind of player that doesn't use [[ManaMeter Ethers]]. Whips have the capability of paralyzing enemies, but still...

* Contrary to popular belief bullwhips or any other style of whips were not used to hit the animals they were named for. The whip would just be cracked near the animal to get it to moving. Oxen, horses, bulls, etc were all to valuable to risk serious injury by cutting them with a whip just to get them to move from one place to another. Horses are also exercised this way.
