ZCE based solely on a link that no longer exists. Removing because it's shoehorning. There isn't excessive fanservice focus on Weiss's legs in Volume 4. The character who gets most of the male gaze leg fanservice is Cinder.


* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': When [[TheLancer Weiss]] appears on-screen in Volume 4, the camera usually only focuses [[LegFocus on one thing]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugktL5mz85A This'll give you an idea of what we mean.]]

* Discussed in an episode of ''NeedsMoreGay'', and differentiates between this and FemaleGaze, the later typically being static, distant shots to convey power rather than panning close-ups of body parts. However, while he makes the DoubleStandard abundantly clear and how awkward it can be for those not sexually attracted to women, Rantasmo concludes that there is no easy way to cater to a society that enjoys sex without it alienating some people (just to prove his point, the episode ends with him staring at pictures of Chris Hemsworth).

* {{Invoked|Trope}} with the thumbnails for the ''WebAnimation/CartoonHooligans'' episodes "What If Superman Got Sick?!" and "Not So Fantastic Four", where Franchise/WonderWoman and [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Sue Storm's]] butts are prominently displayed (the latter even has an arrow pointing to it!). This doubles as a case of [[CoversAlwaysLie Thumbnails Always Lie]], as their asses are not prominently displayed in the videos themselves.

* In ''WebVideo/EchoChamber'', whenever [[BestKnownForTheFanservice Porn Girl]] or Shannon enter a scene, they immediately steal the focus away from whatever was in frame beforehand. This is an in-universe example, since [[PaintingTheMedium Zack, the cameraman, is a character]], and [[AllMenArePerverts Zack likes boobies]].
* There's a lot of cleavage in The Black Legend episode of ''WebVideo/EpicMealTime''. Also in the Maximum Mac and Cheese Recap Special.
* ''WebVideo/FoldingIdeas'': Conserved twice. Instead of focusing on its relationship with women and gay/bi men, Dan focuses on the {{Internalized| Categorism}} [[DoesNotLikeMen Misandry]] within how [[AllMenArePerverts male]] [[WomenAreWiser characters]] are often portrayed.
* Parodied in the ''WebVideo/KateModern'' episodes "Birdwatching" and "Much, Much Worse". In both cases it is implied that the cameramen - Gavin and Toe respectively - are perhaps enjoying their camerawork a little too much.
* Controversial ''WebVideo/{{Lonelygirl15}}'' episode "Girl Tied Up" features a pan over Emma as she lies tied up on a bed. Suspiciously, the thumbnail for this video on [=YouTube=] is of the moment where it passes her cleavage; consequently this is the most watched ''[=LG15=]'' video on that site, but one of the lowest rated. Particularly disturbing since the film is supposed to be being shot by the adult Dr. Hart, and Emma is 15. Surprisingly enough, the Creator responsible for this video was Amanda Goodfried. When fans asked her about the episode, she simply replied, "I know what sells."
* When asked in a Q&A video who he thought the hottest female was, [[WebVideo/MatthewSantoro Matt Santoro]] said Creator/KateUpton, and to prove it, he played a clip of Kate Upton dancing in lingerie. This [[DistractedByTheSexy distracted]] Matt for a few seconds before he regained focus.
* Parodied and subverted in ''Film/TheMatrix Reloaded'' episode of Podcast/{{Rifftrax}} where the camera settles on a clear and long shot of a woman's cleavage at a dinner table. The guys say nothing apart from Kevin going "hmm" and chuckling quietly to himself. When the shot goes to another person Mike comments "that water looked good" (referring to the woman's drink).
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipfaN6MiYDU Stop Looking, Ya Damn Perv]]
* Parodied in the web show ''WebVideo/TheGuild''. The opening theme features a close-up of each character in turn, and when it gets to Clara, the camera stops on her breasts, then just gets a very quick shot of her face before moving on.
* While all pervs, the ladies and gentlemen of Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses will always point this out in a disparaging way when they review something. Regarding their own {{fanservice}}, the FemaleGaze is ''much'' more common.
* Creator/{{Tobuscus}} has a CatchPhrase specifically for occurrences of this in his videos: "Hot hot hot", said at MotorMouth velocity and frequently a [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny distraction]] from whatever he was talking about at the time.
* Discussed in an episode of ''NeedsMoreGay'', and differentiates between this and FemaleGaze, the later typically being static, distant shots to convey power rather than panning close-ups of body parts.

* One ''WebVideo/TwoBestFriendsPlay'' episode begins with Matt purchasing that episode's game at a kiosk, filming the entire process. When the female clerk turns to take the game off its shelf his camera briefly pans down to focus on her butt.
