| 19 | This woman is sex on legs, and everything about her screams ''[[WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead Boioioi]][[SomethingElseAlsoRises oioioing]]''! She [[TheTease may]] or [[InnocentFanserviceGirl may not]] know it, but when she [[SupermodelStrut walks past]], others [[DistractedByTheSexy take leave of their senses]] and devolve into [[LoveMakesYouDumb a steaming mass of drool]], totally consumed by {{lust}}. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | In a funny cartoon, expect [[HighPressureEmotion steam to shoot from their ears]], their hearts beating so hard [[HeartBeatsOutOfChest you can]] ''[[HeartBeatsOutOfChest see]]'' [[HeartBeatsOutOfChest them]]. For other shows, the leads will [[GibberishOfLove stutter]] [[AllergicToLove and sweat]]; any charm they once had will dissolve in her presence. We'll also probably hear at least one WolfWhistle. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | She may be a sympathetic character, who is [[SoBeautifulItsACurse tired of being treated differently because of her appearance]]. She could be a ball-buster who [[FemmeFatale uses her skills]] to [[TheVamp seduce her way to whatever she wants]]. She might be smart as a whip or [[BrainlessBeauty dumb as a post]]. Either way, she will probably only be a FlatCharacter. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Of course, the only person she wouldn't mind drooling over her will most likely be a ChasteHero. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Compare with MsFanservice, who's meant to provoke the same reactions in the audience, rather than other characters. (There's considerable overlap, though.) See ChickMagnet and EvenTheGuysWantHim for the male version. Make straight females fall for her as hard as the straight boys, and she'll be a case of EvenTheGirlsWantHer. A good portion of these characters are blonde and if so, may also be an example of EveryoneLovesBlondes. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | Closely related to and often overlaps with LustObject. Or for the chaster version, you have WorldsMostBeautifulWoman. Also compare to EatingTheEyeCandy. Contrasts with GirlNextDoor. |

| 37 | * The Cadbury's Caramel Bunny ads back during the 1980s pretty much involved every single male animal fawning over her whilst she promoted chocolate. Adding to that, in a 2009 UK-based poll she was even voted the 3rd sexiest cartoon character of all time, just behind WesternAnimation/BettyBoop and [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Jessica Rabbit]]. |
| 38 | [[/folder]] |

| 40 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 41 | * In the manga/anime ''Manga/DragonBall'', during the 21st World Tournament, the third match pits a woman named Ran Fan against a tall monk-like fellow in a turban named Namu. Ran Fan isn't a terrible fighter, but Namu is just that much better, and one of the cards that she plays to try to throw him off his guard is to seduce him in the middle of the fight by putting on an act and taking off... [[MsFanservice A couple articles of clothing.]] [[spoiler:Namu's solution? He closes his eyes.]] |
| 42 | ** This joke was repeated in ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' during the Tournament of Power arc. In it, Caway, a fighter from Universe 4, attempts to seduce Master Roshi when they fight. However, Roshi begins to imply that he wants to sexually assault her as soon as she tries this, resulting in Caway becoming so scared that she runs out of the ring and eliminates herself. |
| 43 | * ''Manga/TheDisastrousLifeOfSaikiK'' has a variation that focuses more on beauty than on sexiness. Teruhashi isn't the resident MsFanservice (that's Aiura), but she is considered so radiantly beautiful that whenever she walks down the street every man drops what he's doing to stare at her. She also has a following of ardent fans who do her bidding because they're so smitten with her. |
| 44 | * ''Manga/DontMeddleWithMyDaughter'': Athena and her daughter, Clara, are a pair of superheroines who are portrayed as [[http://safebooru.donmai.us/posts/1630422 nubile and scantily clad.]] Hardly anyone can resist leering at them, be it their enemies, or the public they're constantly putting themselves at risk to protect. It's the reason Athena eventually retired, because she couldn't bear the constant sexual harassment; especially since some weren't content [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty to just]] ''[[RapeAsBackstory look]]''.... |
| 45 | * Ran from ''Manga/{{Gals}}'', although it seems like the guys' reaction to her is partially because of her fiery personality and knowledge of the "[[GyaruGirl gal]]" subculture. The only guy who ''doesn't'' seem to be (immediately) affected by her is Rei, who constantly warns his head-over-heels friend Yuya that "she's trouble." (Although the "trouble" is referring more to her hot temper than her being a FemmeFatale—in fact, she constantly rebuffs guys that want to sleep with her and is a proud virgin.) At one point in the series almost all the guys in Shibuya hold a contest for who gets to have the right to be her boyfriend. She happily claims the one who wins and breaks the hearts of all the other boys. |
| 46 | * ''Manga/GhostTalkersDaydream'': Misaki Saiki is such a sex bomb that only has three guys crushing on her ''and'' is the most frequently requested {{dom|inatrix}} at the Roppongi S&M Club, but a magazine editor asked her to offer a pair of ''her'' panties as the first place prize for one of their contests! |
| 47 | * ''Manga/GirlsBravo'': To say she's only 16, Kirie has got it goin' on: |
| 48 | ** So much so, that [[CasanovaWannabe Fukuyama]], [[PsychoLesbian Kosame]], and Hijiri, all want a piece of her. A later episode showed she couldn't even walk down the street without being mobbed by middle-aged men, boys and even kids asking her for dates, much to her chagrin. |
| 49 | ** The 4th episode takes the trope to literal extremes, when Fukuyama pretends to be sick after eating some of [[LethalChef Kirie's bento]] and guilt trips her into [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/101535?tags=kojima_kirie wearing a nurse's costume]] while she looks after him. |
| 50 | * ''Manga/GTOTheEarlyYears'': HotTeacher Nao Kadena shamelessly exploits her sex appeal to [[SaveOurStudents raise her students' grades]], offering them a chance to look and even touch if they score well. |
| 51 | * CoolBigSis Dr. Yamaguchi from ''Manga/HajimeNoIppo'' is a Hello Doctor case. She's a friendly and cheerful young doctor who has her own clinic, and the fact that she often wears ''very'' short miniskirts and possesses ''huge'' breasts do the rest. Oh, and Yamaguchi's so MarriedToTheJob that she completely ''[[ChasteHero fails]]'' to notice her effect on Ippo's sempais. Actually, she has that effect on Ippo too. |
| 52 | * Yayoi Sanzenin, the school nurse in ''Manga/HappyLesson'', always has a queue of students waiting outside her office. |
| 53 | * ''Manga/HighschoolOfTheDead'': Shizuka is a literal example, since she was the SchoolNurse at Fujimi High, and has repeatedly been noted for her sex appeal. Takashi and Hirano have both been aroused by her and Shimada said she had a nice body [[spoiler: before attempting to rape her]]. |
| 54 | * Nurse Harumi from ''Anime/IrresponsibleCaptainTylor''. The marines in particular seem to worship her like a goddess. |
| 55 | * Kenta's mother, Fumio, in ''Manga/{{Karin}}'' is the sympathetic variety. [[{{Deconstruction}} Her attractiveness means that she can never hold down a job for fear of sexual harassment, and she is so stressed that it's turning her into a wreck.]] |
| 56 | * In ''Manga/FairyTail'' when everyone is recovering from the fight with Hades, Erza sported a sexy nurse outfit and teased the boys with it. |
| 57 | * ''Anime/KillLaKill'': |
| 58 | ** At the start, most of the characters [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer including Mako]] really like Ryuko and she gained number of fans from the Academy despite most of them working for Satsuki. |
| 59 | ** Nonon Jakuzure is also this to an extent. Even in pre-school she had a number of boys who liked her, she has lots of males supporting her when she fights Ryuko and when Nonon's in her [[spoiler:Nudist Beach outfit]] she's the only one aside from Ryuko that [[DirtyKid Mataro]] and Guts [[MaleGaze gawks at]]. |
| 60 | * In the beginning of the ''Manga/KOn'' manga's next volume, [[CosplayOtakuGirl Sawako]] forces [[MsFanservice Mio]] to wear a nurse outfit for {{fanservice}} purposes during a recruitment ad the club was planning to run in light of the recent threat of disbandment over their [[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything lack of activities]]. Ritsu came to her rescue shortly afterwards, partially over such an ad having nothing to do with music, but not before she was [[TheWoobie pushed to tears over the embarrassing incident]]. |
| 61 | * ''Franchise/LupinIII'': Fujiko Mine is anime's original FemmeFatale. While it's hardly a secret how ''[[ChivalrousPervert Lupin]]'' [[AManIsAlwaysEager feels about her]], he isn't the only one - as her clients, [[VillainousCrush her enemies]], businessmen, and even [[HeroAntagonist Inspector Zenigata]] have [[LustObject all wanted to hit it.]] So have [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer other women.]] In ''[[Anime/LupinIIITheColumbusFiles The Columbus Files]]'', Rozaria asked Lupin if they could share her. While she was joking at the time, her attachment to Fujiko implied she may have meant it. |
| 62 | * ''Manga/MakenKi'' |
| 63 | ** Despite being semi-flatchested, [[MsFanservice Kodama Himegami]] is still considered to be one of the hottest students at Tenbi Academy. There's even a fanclub dedicated to her and with good reason: what she [[ACupAngst lacks 'up top']] is more than made up for by her looks, a gracefully petite figure, and [[IceQueen her haughty disposition.]] Plus, she's got a great pair of legs and a rear to match. |
| 64 | ** Aki is another literal example, being she's the {{school nurse}}. In the manga, while she's used to the male students ogling her, it's made her [[IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn self-conscious.]] |
| 65 | ** The later chapters introduce Love Espada, who's a voluptuous blonde [[AllWomenAreLustful with a raging libido]] and [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl no concerns about modesty.]] In the short time she's been at Tenbi, she's become the lust object of the student body at large, since [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c073/13.html she's openly bisexual.]] |
| 66 | * ''Manga/MyDressUpDarling'': Female lead Marin Kitagawa is a popular and successful model who succeeds at all of her gigs seemingly effortlessly. She looks good in every outfit she tries on and [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer can sweep both genders]] off their feet [[{{Bifauxnen}} when crossdressing]]. That said, the story examines just how much work it takes to look that good, between the clothing, makeup, and camera work. |
| 67 | * Yukariko Sternberg of ''Anime/MyOtome'' had this effect on some men. Since Otomes must abstain from sex or lose their powers, this led to her canceling her contracts and eventually becoming a teacher at Garderobe. |
| 68 | * ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' had Misato visiting Shinji at school once. The [[BuxomBeautyStandard beautiful buxom career soldier]] immediately evoked this reaction from his male classmates. |
| 69 | * ''Manga/OnePiece'': |
| 70 | ** "Pirate Empress" Boa Hancock. To date, the only character to be truly immune to her charms is Luffy, due to being an ObliviousToLove ChasteHero. Other people have had to resort to stabbing or poisoning themselves to even have a ''chance'' at being distracted from her weapon-grade [[TakenForGranite (literally)]] hawtness. |
| 71 | ** "Iron Mace" Alvida is a lesser example. When she's introduced, she's a complete and utter {{Gonk}} who believes herself to be this, but after she ate the Slip-Slip Fruit offscreen, she becomes an example of this trope. Luffy understandably doesn't recognize her at all in their first post-transformation encounter in Logue Town. |
| 72 | * ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': |
| 73 | ** Ranma Saotome is a [[AttractiveBentGender hot]] GenderBender. Men who don't know that he's a genderbender ogle at his girl form, those who do know ''still'' ogle at his girl form, many ask for a date, some propose marriage, some kidnap him in order to forcefully propose marriage, et cetera. It doesn't hurt that he provides at least 80 percent of the {{Fanservice}} for the show either. |
| 74 | ** Shampoo too tends to have this effect. Even Ranma was smitten by her looks at first... Then the Jusenkyō guide told him that [[KissOfDeath the kiss on the cheek was an oath to chase "her" (he was in female form at the time) to the end of Earth to kill her]], and their relationship has never quite recovered even after she found out the truth and fell for him. |
| 75 | * ''Manga/RentAGirlfriend'' has this as a RunningGag for main heroine Chizuru. As the top Rental Girlfriend in her business and an aspiring actress, Chizuru's got hundreds of guys (and some girls) staring in awe at her no matter what she wears or what she's doing. |
| 76 | * ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'': All the guys constantly {{lust}} after the beautiful [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Moka]] [[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman Akashiya]] and the succubus [[SuccubiAndIncubi Kurumu]] ([[spoiler:or, more rather, her [[BuxomBeautyStandard big breasts]]]]). Too bad they're in love with someone else. |
| 77 | * Rouge the Bat of ''Anime/SonicX'' at points has guys drooling over her and isn't beneath using her sexiness to get her way. |
| 78 | * ''Manga/SkipAndLoafer'' |
| 79 | ** Everybody who interacts with Sōsuke Shima thinks he is handsome. When he comes over to befriend Mitsumi early on, everyone in the vicinity thinks he's an ''ikemen'' (good-looking man), and his basketball games and drama club performances draw audiences. |
| 80 | ** Yuzuki Murashige is noted to be an exceptional beauty, which draws awe and jealousy. She actually dislikes that her looks cause her so much grief. |
| 81 | * ''Manga/ToLoveRu'': |
| 82 | ** Mikado-sensei. A fan of stockings that uses her charm with the perverted principal and to mess with [[AccidentalPervert Rito]]. It doesn't help that some of her machines require one to be naked. |
| 83 | ** Even more so with Sephie Michaela Deviluke (Lala, Nana, and Momo's mother) who is a [[CharmPerson Charmian]]. Her race's natural beauty causes anyone who sees her uncovered face to ruthlessly lust after her. |
| 84 | * Sakura in ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'', the {{Miko}} and resident SchoolNurse, object of lust for the male students of Tomobiki High School, especially Ataru. When she arrive at Tomobiki High practically every male student gathers outside the gates to greet her in this way. |
| 85 | * ''Anime/UsagichanDeCue'': New student Nekoi Koshka comes to visit Mimika in her homeroom. She's brought a corps of drooling boys with her, and shuts the door in front of them. The boys continue to drool at Koshka through the window. During the Cultural Festival's beauty pageant, Koshka garners the most spirited cheers and hoots as she slinks around on stage. |
| 86 | * Asuka Tenjouin of ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'', which she has ''never'' been happy about. (In fact, in the manga, she almost had to be ''dragged'' to the beauty pagent that she had been nominated for.) |
| 87 | * Shizuka from ''Manga/Zom100BucketListOfTheDead'' is pretty enough that Akira freezes in his tracks when he sees her while staring at her breasts and butt thanks to her skimpy athletic wear. Anyone who sees her notes how pretty she is, and the only reason Kencho hasn't started flirting with her is because he knows that his BestFriend Akira is interested too. |
| 88 | [[/folder]] |
| 89 | |
| 90 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 91 | * ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'' has Panacaea. When he first notices her, Obelix can't take his eyes off her, causing him to run into a tree. Asterix fares a lot better, but he's not completely immune to Panacaea's charms either, and can be seen watching her appreciatively when she walks by. |
| 92 | * ComicBook/{{Blacksad}} is considered quite the {{Hunk}}y HardboiledDetective in-universe. While walking through the hall of a university to visit an old friend teaching there, all the women he passes are giving him admiring looks, to the jealousy and anger of many of their boyfriends. |
| 93 | * ''Franchise/TheDCU'': |
| 94 | ** ComicBook/PowerGirl fills (and [[MostCommonSuperPower overfills]]) this role. Rarely a man can ignore her big boobs. |
| 95 | ** ComicBook/{{Starfire}}. For example, in ''ComicBook/GothamCentral'', when Starfire comes to the GCPD to help clear up some issues with Robin (A body has been found in his outfit, but the police are unsure if it is authentic or a costume) every man stares at her slack-jawed, eliciting a disgusted "men" from Detective Romy Chandler. However, Detective Joely Bartlett smirks and points to the two gay women in the department who are also staring with the exact same expression, just as unable to control themselves as the men. Man or woman, if somebody is that attractive and fits your orientation, it is bringing something out of you. |
| 96 | ** ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'': |
| 97 | *** Poison Ivy is perhaps the biggest one here, as one of her actual abilities is to secrete pheromones that make everyone around her feel this way. |
| 98 | *** ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} would perhaps also apply, as whilst being Batman's love interest at the same time, The Riddler once described even Ivy as ''having a thing for her''. |
| 99 | ** Dream Girl from ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes''. With her stunning pinup-girl looks and figure, a flirty swimsuit-like costume and boldly confident personality, the male Legionnaires completely stopped noticing the other female members on the team and the female Legionnaires soon grew jealous and resentful. |
| 100 | * In the ''ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse'', WesternAnimation/DaisyDuck is treated as such, using her charm and good looks either to have some advantage for herself or to control WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck's temper (the latter method is the most used one, though). |
| 101 | * ''Franchise/MarvelUniverse'': |
| 102 | ** ''ComicBook/XMen'': |
| 103 | *** Emma Frost sometimes seems as if her every action, word, movement and gesture is intended to elicit a [[MaleGaze certain reaction]] from the men around her. [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks Then they changed her]]. |
| 104 | *** Jean Grey tends to have this effect on male characters, to the point that the only one of the original X-Men who didn't fall in love with her has recently been revealed as gay. Even ''Emma Frost'' notes it in ''ComicBook/AllNewXMen'', observing that Teen Jean won't 'be the fresh-faced redhead who turns every man's head forever'. Jean's reputation is interesting in that for a long time she was a beneficiary of the SmurfettePrinciple. All of the guys fell over themselves for her simply because she was the ''only'' woman on the team ''to'' fight over. This didn't really start to change until the introduction of characters such as Storm and Psylocke (the former introduced as an InnocentFanserviceGirl with no taboo against nudity, the latter after her body swap into the sex-on-legs ninja in a ThongOfShielding), and nowadays Jean is most famous for the LoveTriangle with Cyclops and Wolverine, rather than for turning ''everyone's'' heads. |
| 105 | ** ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': Mary Jane Watson. "Face it Tiger, you just hit the jackpot!" You sure did, Mr. Parker. You sure did. Black Cat matches her in this. |
| 106 | ** Jessica Drew alias ComicBook/SpiderWoman ([[spoiler:or better, the skrull Queen Veranke posed as her]]) gets this reaction from Spider-Man and Luke Cage ("Damn, girl!") when she appears in her sexy red and yellow costume in ComicBook/NewAvengers. Also, like Poison Ivy above, her arachnid metabolism produces pheromones that emphasize this effect. |
| 107 | ** ''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'': Issue #25 has ComicBook/{{Elektra}} break into the prison [[spoiler:Matt]] is being held in. The male inmates are ''very'' vocal about how much they find her attractive. |
| 108 | * ''ComicBook/ArchieComics'': |
| 109 | ** Often with Veronica and Cheryl Blossom when they are in bikini (especially in the covers for Veronica) or in other skimpy outfits. Betty usually only does if and when she dresses up for an occasion to one-up Ronnie. |
| 110 | ** Betty and Veronica themselves are not immune when see an handsome boy. |
| 111 | ** For Melody of ''ComicBook/JosieAndThePussyCats'', the RunningGag is that she causes this reaction wherever she goes, and is [[DumbBlonde too naive/dumb]] to notice. |
| 112 | * Elizabeth Chandra (who later drops her first name) from Creator/JMichaelStraczynski's ''ComicBook/RisingStars'' had the power to be the most attractive girl possible to any man—later, when her power increases, it even works on women too. |
| 113 | ** The real tragedy of her power was that with the exception of something like a few others from the Specials, no one ever saw ''her''. They just saw "the most beautiful woman on Earth". It's like looking at a tree, and just seeing the tree, not the branches, leaves, and texture of the bark that make it up. She and the guy who had the supposed invulnerability had been BlessedWithSuck. |
| 114 | * ''ComicBook/TheSpirit'': P'Gell. The first story featuring her had her warning its readers on the first page (spread out over a couch in a jaw-dropping red dress) that "this is ''not'' a story for little boys!" |
| 115 | * Yayita causes this reaction in ''ComicBook/{{Condorito}}'', although most young women in the setting are as Beautiful as she is. |
| 116 | * Eva Kant from ''ComicBook/{{Diabolik}}'' tends to get this reaction from people who aren't aware of her enormous rap sheet (those who are instead tend to ''[[TheDreaded run like hell]]''). Even [[MasterOfDisguise her disguises]] tend to be stunningly beautiful, to the point [[AttemptedRape a would-be rapist]] upon seeing her in a disguise [[SlippingAMickey fed her a mind-altering drug to make her more compliant]] ([[GoneHorriblyRight it worked so well she actually removed her disguise]], [[OhCrap making him realize he'd soon be brutally murdered]] by either her after the drug wore off or by [[CrazyJealousGuy Diabolik]] himself depending on which one got him first). |

| 119 | [[folder:Comic Strips]] |
| 120 | * Miss Buxley from ''ComicStrip/BeetleBailey''. |
| 121 | * Stupefyin' Jones from ''ComicStrip/LilAbner''—also see Theater for the musical. |
| 122 | [[/folder]] |
| 123 | |
| 124 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 125 | * ''Fanfic/AlienSpeciesCrossoverReturnToLV426'': |
| 126 | ** Lise is exceptionally beautiful, other characters often note she's "sex on legs" or "a walking wet dream" or similar phrases. [[spoiler:All the hybrids are ridiculously attractive, which makes Boone question the motives of whoever sent their genetic information.]] |
| 127 | ** Doctor Tanya Donnasdottir is nicknamed "DD," not because of her last name and ''never'' to her face. She's the only human in the story described as close to as gorgeous as Lise is. |
| 128 | * ''Fanfic/Persona4SilverBlue'': Like their canon counterparts, both Labrys and Yukiko are this. It's somewhat less visible for Yukiko since she's been around longer at Yasogami, but when Labrys first shows up at school in her "Yura Narukami" guise, it's heavily implied that about 90% of the boys (and even some girls) can't help but stare at her when they first see her, to which Labrys is of course [[ObliviousToLove completely oblivious]]. Chie even jokes that she wouldn't be surprised to see a "Narukami" challenge pop up for Labrys in a similar vein to Yukiko's "Amagi challenge" in the future. |
| 129 | * In the ''[[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Twilight]]'' fanfic ''Fanfic/{{Luminosity}}'', there’s a vampire whose power is beauty: literally. Everyone who sees her, [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer even other women]], even other ''vampires'', are so stunned by her beauty that they will mindlessly follow her around until her self-esteem is high enough that her beauty level drops off to normal. Though, since she’s a vampire, her “normal” is still on a head-turning level, just without accompanying magical compulsion. |
| 130 | * ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'': |
| 131 | ** Carol Danvers, who's about 15 when the story starts, [[YoungerThanTheyLook but can pass for someone in their early 20s]]. [[SoBeautifulItsACurse She hates it, because of the attendant sexual harassment]]. This contributes to her [[HotBlooded somewhat]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold spiky disposition]] and until she meets Harry, her only two male friends are her [[KnightTemplarBigBrother surrogate big brother]] Lex Luthor, whose response tends towards DisproportionateRetribution (which has been known to [[NiceJobBreakingItHero backfire]]), and Jean-Paul, who's ''very'' CampGay [[BewareTheSillyOnes (and much, much more dangerous than he appears to be).]] She almost instantly takes to Harry because (aside from a shared love of flying), he sees her as a person first and understands better than most what it's like to be judged on appearance alone. |
| 132 | ** Jean Grey is also this, with [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer even other girls commenting on how ludicrously gorgeous she is]] and Lex later wryly commenting in the sequel that "Jean turns heads fast enough that people get whiplash." Clark, being a little naive, assumes that she looks like his long-time crush Lana Lang. Lex, trying to put it delicately, explains that Lana is "the slim kind of pretty", while Jean is [[CurvesInAllTheRightPlaces a different]] [[MostCommonSuperpower kind of pretty]]. |
| 133 | --->''"Please, Clark, don't make me resort to spelling it out. Or, worse, hand gestures."'' |
| 134 | * In ''Fanfic/OriginStory'', Francisco and Sanchez recognize that Alex Harris is sex on two legs even when she's in badly fitting clothing, her hair is a wreck, she's covered in grime, and barefoot. |
| 135 | * In ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'', Asuka used to evoke this reaction from Shinji's male schoolmates. During a talk Shinji mentions that she was the "miss incredibly-hot-exotic-foreign-transfer-student", and she had packs of boys drooling after her. |
| 136 | * ''Fanfic/ThousandShinji'', Asuka is ''very'' popular among her male schoolmates. According Shinji, "If [she] flashed the class, I bet [she] could kill half the male population". |
| 137 | * In ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfAnElderGod'', Asuka had a lot of fans who found her totally hot, although she didn't care for them. |
| 138 | -->Kensuke and Touji were over by them in an instant, followed a few seconds later by a tide of humanity. A rather small tide, but it was disconcerting nonetheless. Asuka smiled and waved and said hello to three dozen people, quickly learning their names. The only really hard part of it was trying to sort out who was shouting what. |
| 139 | * ''Fanfic/NeonGenesisEvangelionGenocide'': While she and Asuka are having a sleepover, Hikari ponders that all their male classmates drool over her best friend. |
| 140 | * ''Fanfic/LastChildOfKrypton'': As soon as Asuka started going to Shinji’s school, Shinji’s male classmates became obsessed with her and started following her everywhere. |
| 141 | * ''Fanfic/LeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemenTempestRewrite'': When Emma becomes Princess Gale Allen of Venus, several men, including [[{{Literature/Amtor}} Carson Napier]] and ComicStrip/DanDare, ask her for a date at once. |
| 142 | * ''Fanfic/TheManyDatesOfDannyFenton'': Many of the girls that Danny goes out with seem to have this affect on him: |
| 143 | ** On his first date, Danny was rather reluctant and didn't really care for how it would go. Then he sees what his date, WesternAnimation/KimPossible, looks like. He's immediately in awe of how attractive she is and quickly becomes optimistic. |
| 144 | ** Perhaps the most blatant example is [[WesternAnimation/MarvelsSpiderMan Felicia Hardy]]. Danny does a JawDrop when he first sees her and outright describes her as "perfect". When they later go to Nasty Burger, she catches the attention of every boy there. |
| 145 | ** Comically, the actually Warner Brothers give this reaction to Jazz Fenton, who naturally freaks out over it. |
| 146 | * ''Fanfic/OnceMoreWithFeeling'': Asuka had a pack of male students following her around in the school grounds. |
| 147 | -->Asuka followed his gaze, smiled, then happily skipped off towards Rei, causing Shinji to shake his head slightly in amusement as 'the hoard' followed her off, more then a few shooting him envious looks. |
| 148 | ** Touji and Kensuke had to admit that it was easy to understand why she drew so many lovestruck or merely lustful stares: |
| 149 | --->Both young men freely admitted she was hot, that simply wasn't in question. In a school of generally polite, reserved young Japanese girls, she was a living, breathing firestorm, an impression helped along by her red hair that whirled around her like a burning halo as she moved about the school at speed. Add to that her stunning looks and the fact that she publicly had announced –and Shinji had confirmed- that she was an Evangelion pilot… |
| 150 | * In ''Fanfic/UltimateSpiderWoman'', Mary Jane Watson loves being the center of attention at social functions, and relishes the admiration she gets from guys and the jealousy she often gets from other women. Unfortunately, Mary Jane's [[ButtMonkey awful luck]] finds ways to make her [[SoBeautifulItsACurse beauty as much of a curse as a benefit]]. From her boyfriends' parents assuming she's a GoldDigger to [[SuccessThroughSexAccusation directors assuming she's trying to get roles through her beauty rather than her genuine talent]], to being the target of sexual harassment and supervillain [[StalkerWithACrush stalkers]] who are ''extremely'' NotGoodWithRejection, Mary Jane's beauty can be as much of a headache as an advantage. |

| 152 | |
| 153 | [[folder:Films -- Animation]] |
| 154 | * Panthy from ''WesternAnimation/ElArca'', a [[BuxomBeautyStandard very busty]], [[ImpossibleHourglassFigure very curvy]], Panther babe who is introduced in much the same way that [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Jessica Rabbit]] is and whose role in the story consists of [[GoSeduceMyArchnemesis seducing]] the IdiotHero, so that the villain can take over. Oh, and she is seen during the end musical number, dancing in a cage. |
| 155 | * Iaia the cookie seller from ''WesternAnimation/TheThreeCaballeros'' makes WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck and José weak at the knees. They spend their trip to Bahia competing with each other (and a large crowd of men that show up) for her affections. In fact, about half the movie has Donald chasing after some Latin lady. |
| 156 | * From ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'', Buzz Lightyear and the gang are in Al's Toy Barn, where they stumble upon Tour Guide Barbie. Mr. Potato Head immediately begins chanting that he is a "married spud", while Hamm tells him to step aside for the single fellas. |
| 157 | ** Again in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'', when Ken meets Molly's Barbie doll for the first time, accompanied by Gary Wright's "Dream Weaver". |
| 158 | * Georgette the literal RichBitch from ''WesternAnimation/OliverAndCompany'' is this to the canine world. Just a small appearance on her balcony gets all the dogs in the neighborhood flocking to admire her. |
| 159 | * Sasha La Fleur from ''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven2'' is also this trope to canines as evidenced during her debut song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOywt8FGurQ "Count Me Out."]] Her appearance alone causes every male dog in the bar to fall head over heels for her. |
| 160 | * Lola Bunny from ''Film/SpaceJam'' enters Schlesinger's Gym to a {{Sexophone}} riff, and gets all the Looney Tunes to start EatingTheEyeCandy. Her ImpossibleHourglassFigure has Bugs Bunny especially smitten, to the point of [[LoveMakesYouDumb making a fool of himself]]. Even Foghorn Leghorn rubs his eyes in disbelief as Lola sashays toward the exit. |
| 161 | [[/folder]] |
| 162 | |
| 163 | [[folder:Films -- Live-Action]] |
| 164 | * The new "Miss Lonely Hearts" in TheMovie GrandFinale of ''Radio/OurMissBrooks''. |
| 165 | * Gorgeous Virginia in ''Film/TheStrawberryBlonde'', played by gorgeous Creator/RitaHayworth. When someone spots her walking by Nick's barbershop, all the men lounging around in the barbershop rush outside so they can look at her. At the end of the movie she reveals that she used to walk blocks out of her way so she could walk past the barbershop and let the men gawk. |
| 166 | * Creator/MaeWest made a career out of this. In ''Film/SheDoneHimWrong'', every male in the cast talks about how sexy she is, and most of them hit on her. |
| 167 | * Cassandra from ''Film/WaynesWorld''. |
| 168 | * Jerri (Creator/JayneMansfield) in ''Film/TheGirlCantHelpIt''. All she wants to be is a housewife, but men don't see her that way. |
| 169 | * Ulla in Creator/MelBrooks' ''Film/TheProducers''. This SexySecretary doesn't even attempt to type, but can she ever work! In the original movie at least, this is a slanderous lie. She does type, at the rate of about one letter a minute. |
| 170 | * The five Salma Hayeks in ''Film/AcrossTheUniverse2007'' are as perfect of an example as you can get, collectively named The Bang Bang Shoot Nurses. |
| 171 | * The Genterns from ''Film/RepoTheGeneticOpera'' are this trope personified and given a cute visor. |
| 172 | * Even the human characters in ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'' lust for the infamous Jessica Rabbit. She's not bad; she's just drawn that way. |
| 173 | * Tina Carlyle in ''Film/TheMask'', reduces the civilian Jim Carrey to a gibbering wreck by asking to open a bank account, and causes his Masked alter ego to herniate his beating heart through his shirt and literally wolf-whistle. |
| 174 | * Every character Creator/MarilynMonroe ever played. |
| 175 | * In ''Film/DirtyRottenScoundrels'', Janet Colgate makes her entrance as, well, this. Both con men go for her at once.[[spoiler:... only for her to con ''them'' by the end of the movie.]] |
| 176 | * The Creator/SaffronBurrows character in ''Film/Enigma2001''. |
| 177 | * Rita Hayworth played these type of characters especially in ''Film/{{Gilda}}'' and ''The Loves of Carmen''. |
| 178 | * Staff Nurse Dorothy Denton (Creator/ShirleyEaton) in ''Film/CarryOnNurse.'' Eventually got her man, Ted York. |
| 179 | * ''Film/IronMan2'' has two literal cases with Comicbook/BlackWidow, as her very intro leads Tony to turn his head until Happy Hogan reminds him that their match isn't over (cue a kick so Tony can make his moves on the redhead), and while she puts on the SpyCatsuit, Happy almost crashes the car [[WatchingTheReflectionUndress trying to take a peek]]. This also happened behind the scenes, as Jon Favreau famously tweeted that "he'd never seen such a quiet film crew before" Creator/ScarlettJohansson first appeared in the Black Widow catsuit. |
| 180 | * ''Film/FlirtingScholar'': Chou-Heung's beauty is famous. She draws admiration from Tong's friends, the four perverted thieves, and the boatman who says he's frequently asked to "follow Chou-Heung". |
| 181 | * Molly in ''Film/ShesOutOfMyLeague'' personifies this trope—her introduction is one long slow-motion montage of her walking with a SupermodelStrut through an airport, catching the [[DistractedByTheSexy awed attention]] of every man (and teenage boy) she passes. When she gets to the TSA counter, the cynical and bored Stainer suddenly perks up. Later, when she meets Kirk's family, his mother squeals with glee and everyone else just stares. |
| 182 | * Vesper Lynd in ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006'' has this effect on the ''entire casino'' the first time she appears in that dress. Bond intended for her to enter from behind him so his opponents would be DistractedByTheSexy. Instead she enters right in his line of sight to screw with him after an argument and distracts ''him'' as well. |
| 183 | -->'''Mathis:''' I suppose I don't have to tell you how beautiful you look. [[DistractedByTheSexy Half the people on that table are still watching you]]. |
| 184 | * Pam Bouvier in ''Film/LicenceToKill'' spends the film being TheLadette, but when she appears as Bond's "secretary", even Bond does a DoubleTake. |
| 185 | * Lisa from ''Film/TheRoom2003'' has just about every male character in the movie comment on how hot she is. Even one guy whose sole line is "Lisa looks hot tonight!". [[InformedAttractiveness Her actress does not exactly live up to it.]] |
| 186 | * Another Lisa, this one played by Diane Kruger in ''Film/WickerPark''. She does indeed live up to it. |
| 187 | * Lady Penelope in the live-action ''Film/{{Thunderbirds}}'' movie. Her character introduction is being greeted by a crowd of prepubescent boys as she arrives to pick Alan up. And of course she has to say "Hello boys". |
| 188 | * The White Queen from Tim Burton's ''Film/AliceInWonderland2010''. Her sister the Red Queen laments that she can make anything fall in love with her... even the furniture. |
| 189 | * Frey from ''Film/{{Elysium}}''. |
| 190 | * Alex Munday (played by Lucy Liu) in ''Film/CharliesAngels2000'' has this effect on men when she's walking in a room full of computer nerds while wearing a sexy leather powersuit (that squeaks every time she walks). |
| 191 | * Played straight with the blond nurse in ''Film/TheBridgeOnTheRiverKwai'' who befriends Shears at the hospital. When she walks across the campus, all of the soldiers interrupt their combat training to follow her with their eyes. |
| 192 | * ''Film/StarshipTroopers3Marauder''. Captain Lola Beck evokes this reaction among her own crew, though as she's their superior officer their reaction is merely silent appreciation. |
| 193 | * ''Film/MonOncleAntoine'': The Canadian mining town where the film is set is small enough to have a town beauty, and she is Alexandrine, wife of the notary. She's tall and beautiful and fashionably dressed, and when she goes to the general store--[[OfCorsetsSexy to pick up a corset]]--all the men in the store comment about how sexy she is. |
| 194 | * Violet from ''Film/ItsAWonderfulLife'' grows up to be this. She had her sights set on George, but turns pretty much ''everyone's'' heads. One gag in particular has her crossing a street in a rather short and clingy dress (ogled by George, Bert, and Ernie), only for a pedestrian crossing the other direction to nearly get hit by a car when he gets distracted watching her. On the darker side of this trope, it's implied she ReallyGetsAround and has to leave Bedford Falls after getting into some trouble, and the Potterville version is shown getting dragged out of a seedy nightclub (at which she was likely one of the working girls) and thrown into a paddywagon by the police. |
| 195 | * ''Film/TheBoneCollector''. When [[FairCop Amelia Donaghy]] (played by Creator/AngelinaJolie) is assigned to work with the protagonist Lincoln Rhyme, he shares a smirk with another man in the room over his good fortune. |
| 196 | * Elektra in ''Film/Daredevil2003'' gets this from three male characters when they see her. Foggy Nelson gives her an approving look that she ignores, Matt (in the rain due to his powers) sees her and says she's beautiful and she's flattered, Bullseye gives her a WolfWhistle that she's disgusted by as he [[spoiler:[[YouKilledMyFather killed her father]]]]. |
| 197 | * Post Makeover Sandy gets this response at the carnival in ''Film/{{Grease}}''. |
| 198 | * In ''Film/MemoirsOfAGeisha'', Mameha teaches Sayuri that this is the hallmark of a true geisha: she can stop a man in his tracks with a single look. Sayuri manages this with a boy on a bike—and when he turns his head and crashes seconds later, that proves Mameha's point. |
| 199 | * In the extended version of ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture'', there's a scene deleted from the original release, but included in the novelisation, in which Lt Ilia comes to the bridge for the first time. Once she takes her seat at the Navigation station, her Deltan pheremones cause Sulu to make a fool of himself, stammering and hitting the wrong switches, all the while smiling goofily. She reassures him that she's safe because she's taken an oath of celibacy. |
| 200 | * Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse: |
| 201 | ** Wonder Woman as played by Creator/GalGadot in ''Film/{{Wonder Woman|2017}}'', ''Film/{{Justice League|2017}}'' and ''Film/WonderWoman1984'' is the subject of nearly constant oggling by the other characters in the room. Interestingly, the Creator/ZackSnyder films featuring her (''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague'') avoid this trope. |
| 202 | ** Harley Quinn (Creator/MargotRobbie) causes this in ''Film/{{Suicide Squad|2016}}'' as all the men ([[EvenTheGirlsWantHer and some of the women]]) around her stop what they're doing to check her when she changes. |
| 203 | * ''Film/{{Desperado}}'': Salma Hayek's character is introduced crossing the street and causing an accident because the drivers are staring at her. |
| 204 | * ''Film/{{Woo}}'': In the opening scene, every passersby can't take their eyes off of Creator/JadaPinkett's character when she walks around the city. |
| 205 | * ''Film/Barbie2023'': The titular Stereotypical Barbie garners this reaction after she enters the Real World for the first time, with every guy in the vicinity giving her appreciative glances, catcalls, and whistles. The trope is deconstructed as this is played up as a hint to [[InnocentFanserviceGirl Barbie]] that the Real World isn't like the matriarchal Barbieland she came from (in spite of her initial assumptions) and quickly feels unsafe and self-conscious. It's one of the things she later cries over when Mattel finds her. It's lampshaded when Barbie later starts crying and having an IAmNotPretty moment, as the narrator breaks the fourth wall to tell the filmmakers that the famously beautiful Margot Robbie is the "wrong" actress to deliver such a line. |
| 206 | * ''{{Film/Troy}}'': |
| 207 | ** Helen is hyped up as the WorldsMostBeautifulWoman, with King Priam saying "for once, the gossips were right" when meeting her. Notably in Greek mythology, Helen was so beautiful partly because her father was Zeus, meaning she was a demigod herself. The film goes for a {{Demythification}} approach, so part of the fuss about Helen is said to be because of rumour and gossip. |
| 208 | ** Briseis likewise is told in her very first scene by her cousin that "your beauty grows with each new moon", and Priam jokes about how disappointed the men of Troy were when she chose to become a priestess and therefore remain a virgin. She also makes the womanizing Achilles [[LadykillerInLove fall desperately in love with her]]. |
| 209 | [[/folder]] |
| 210 | |
| 211 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 212 | * In ''Literature/BakaAndTestSummonTheBeasts'', this role is fulfilled by Hideyoshi Kinoshita. [[DontExplainTheJoke It's funny because]] [[DudeLooksLikeALady he's a guy]]. |
| 213 | * In ''Literature/TheCaseFilesOfJewelerRichard'', Richard attracts attention wherever he goes because he's that beautiful, to his chagrin. |
| 214 | * Zoya, in ''Literature/HouseOfMeetings'' by Creator/MartinAmis. One character is sent to a gulag in Siberia because he is overheard praising America. In fact he was praising "The Americas"—the nickname he and his brother had given Zoya due to her hourglass figure. |
| 215 | * Elli Quinn in Creator/LoisMcMasterBujold's ''Literature/VorkosiganSaga''. After getting her face burned off in a battle, Miles paid for the finest reconstructive surgery for her that money could buy. Though initially delighted with the results, she later came to find it to be a problem at times, when soldiers under her command made passes at her, rather than following her orders. |
| 216 | * ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'': |
| 217 | ** Dresden notes this is true about Thomas Raith and the other [[SuccubiAndIncubi White Court Vampires]], as they are literally supernaturally attractive. Just walking down the street is enough to get men and women alike to turn and stare. His sister Lara even made a name for herself in the "adult" film industry. (see ''Literature/BloodRites''). |
| 218 | ** In the short story, ''I Was A Teenage Bigfoot'', Dresden cheekily quotes the ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' character Hello Nurse, another example of this trope, at an attractive school nurse taking care of his client's [[HalfHumanHybrid son]]. Her dry response is that she's taking a break from dating cartoon characters and the children that love them. |
| 219 | * Mia in ''Franchise/TheDarkTower'' series, who is a slutty ball-buster but who does gain some sympathy [[spoiler:right before her newborn spider-baby kills her and drinks her blood]]. |
| 220 | * ''Literature/IAmNotASerialKiller'' has Marci, a ''sixteen-year-old'' who is massively popular in no small part because she evokes this reaction from every guy at her school. [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism The series being what it is]], this frequently takes a dip into SoBeautifulItsACurse-people pigeonhole and objectify her because she's hot, and those reactions [[{{Squick}} aren't limited to guys her age.]] She readily admits that part of the reason she's after [[CelibateHero John]] is that he's the first male since the town hit puberty who's been more interested in talking to her than ogling her. |
| 221 | * ''Literature/HarryPotter'': |
| 222 | ** Veelas. A "cheerleading" squad of them can make a whole mega ''stadium'' of men go wild. Although they also can go OneWingedAngel, growing wings and a bird beak and throwing fireballs... There are also [[HalfHumanHybrid half-Veela]], like Fleur Delacour, who are (generally) very attractive women with some ability to magically influence men. |
| 223 | ** The first thing Harry notices about Cho Chang is that she is "extremely pretty". It's rather inconvenient as this comes right before he has to play against her in a Quidditch match. Later on in the book he gets very hot under the collar when she wishes him good luck. And in the next he spills water all over himself when she waves at him. That being said, it's also possible Harry just has a giant crush on her, considering their ages at the time. |
| 224 | * Dmitri in ''Literature/TheBrothersKaramazov'' can't help but speak of Grushenka's "infernal curves" dancing about in his mind, driving him insane with lust. |
| 225 | * Rhapsody in the ''Literature/SymphonyOfAges'' series by Elizabeth Haydon. This was partly due to natural beauty, but mostly due to the fire magic from her journey through the center of the earth. |
| 226 | * In ''Literature/WarAndPeace'', Elena Kuragin, more often called Hélène (a name derived from—oh just guess!), is perhaps the most beautiful woman ''ever born''. She's the sort of woman that makes grown men weep and young boys lock themselves in bathrooms. |
| 227 | * ''Literature/CloudOfSparrows'' by Takashi Matsuoka has Emily, a Christian missionary that comes to Japan fleeing from the men in her country who apparently considered her so irresistible that she almost got raped twice. It doesn't help that she's about to marry a bible thumping guy who can't help getting aroused every time she walks by. |
| 228 | * Despite living in a country of extremely beautiful people, everyone still manages to think that [[KushielsChosen Phedre]] is, well, most extremely beautiful of all. |
| 229 | * [[Creator/{{Homer}} Helen of Troy]] is the [[OlderThanFeudalism original one]], and judging by her being played by Diane Kruger in ''Troy'', she still measures up pretty well. |
| 230 | * In the Franchise/TolkiensLegendarium: |
| 231 | ** ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'': Lúthien Tinuviel, the most beautiful woman in the world. Everyone who crossed her path tried to claim her, including Morgoth. |
| 232 | ** ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'': Arwen, Lúthien's great-great-great-granddaughter, was also supposed to be her exact spitting-image: considering the wars fought over Lúthien, Elrond may have been wise to keep her cooped up in Rivendell. |
| 233 | * Succubi in ''Literature/TheCaseOfTheToxicSpellDump'' have this quality, obviously. When a bunch of them gathered to picket city hall in protest over Angel City's new anti-vice laws, they didn't bother to bring signs, because their "arguments" were self-evident. |
| 234 | * Several can be found in the ''[[Literature/TheWheelOfTime Wheel of Time]]'' series. Morgase and Elayne often tie men's tongues, as does Berelain ([[spoiler:though it appears she'll be meeting her match in her "Man In White" in the next novel]]). |
| 235 | ** Elayne's hated step-brother Galad, who's so beautiful that drooling Aes Sedai gather to watch him take off his shirt. |
| 236 | ** The nation whose women are known around the world for having this quality, and using it to their advantage in trade: Arad Doman. |
| 237 | ** The most potent example is Lanfear, however. She actually uses Illusion to ''tone down'' her beauty, and ''still'' trips up any man she talks to. |
| 238 | * ''Literature/SoICantPlayH'': Ilia's a [[BuxomBeautyStandard buxom blonde bombshell]] and a popular {{teen idol}}. Naturally, when she enrolls at Ryosuke's school, she immediately drew crowds of fans and would-be suitors. This is also the reason why the Merlot Insurance company [[SexSells uses her in all of their ads.]] |
| 239 | * Creator/TerryPratchett's ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'': |
| 240 | ** Juliet in ''Literature/UnseenAcademicals''. |
| 241 | ** Sergeant Angua of the Watch. (Nobody dares to wolf-whistle at her ... [[spoiler:especially during a full moon]]). |
| 242 | ** The lovely Tawneee, a woman who was Miss April, May, and June in ''Girls, Giggles and Garters''—a woman who has so intimidated men through her looks that the only boyfriend she can get is Corporal Nobby Nobbs of the Watch. Who later dumps her because she cannot cook. |
| 243 | * ''Literature/{{Dragonlance}}'': |
| 244 | ** Laurana. The first time the Companions see her they are completely mesmerized and can do nothing but stare at her and babble on about how she is the most beautiful woman they have ever seen. Even Raistlin is affected by her beauty. Later on her ArchEnemy, Kitiara, can do nothing but bitterly complain about how everyone raves about Laurana's beauty. |
| 245 | ** Many characters notice Silvara is extremely attractive, which is [[SoBeautifulItsACurse actually an annoyance for her]] since she doesn't want to stand out she usually purposedly stays covered in layers of grime and filth to downplay this, [[UnkemptBeauty with limited success]]. [[spoiler:And while she's Silver Dragon and thus a VoluntaryShapeshifting she actually ''can't'' take a form that isn't considered attractive by whatever species she shapeshifts into. Her body as Arlena Plata is the closest she got to a normal human woman, after ''years'' of practicing and she's still considered far above average]]. |
| 246 | * Dejah Thoris, from ''Literature/JohnCarterOfMars'', is referred to as "the incomparable Dejah Thoris" for a reason. |
| 247 | ** Her daughter Tara and granddaughter Llana share this trait. Multiple men are willing to ignore Tara's [[SpoiledBrat personality]] [[RichBitch flaws]] because of her beauty, and one character who sees a figurine of Llana refuses to believe that it is of a real person, on the grounds that real women can't possibly be that beautiful. |
| 248 | * Juliet the succubus in Mike Carey's Literature/FelixCastor series. ''No one'' should be able to do ''that'' to a man with [[OurZombiesAreDifferent no blood circulation]]... |
| 249 | * ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'': |
| 250 | ** Sansa Stark suffers as a result of this trope: in her CrapsackWorld, [[SoBeautifulItsACurse it usually manifests as a desire to rape/molest her]]. Her various 'admirers', most of whom treat her like a piece of meat, include Joffrey, Sandor Clegane, Tyrion Lannister, Marillion, her adoptive brother Theon, and Littlefinger. At thirteen she's either matured extremely early or is trapped in a nest of pedophiles. |
| 251 | ** Daenerys Targaryen also would suffer from this same trope if she didn't have a Queensguard and three dragons to protect her. Most men that are interested in her dragons are willing to forgo them to bed Daenerys; of course, she's not very flattered at this. |
| 252 | ** Shiera Seastar, Great Bastard daughter of Aegon IV was ''THE'' head turner at her time; it's said that men went to war for her sake, though only Bittersteel is confirmed to have done so when she preferred Bloodraven over him. |
| 253 | ** Lyanna Stark caused a whole continent to go tits up when she eloped with the Targaryen heir to the Iron Throne, a married man and herself being betrothed to an immensely powerful warrior in Robert Baratheon. It ended up destroying the Targaryen rule and killing her; all because she looked gorgeous in a blue flower tiara. |
| 254 | ** Dalla and Val from the Free Folk are about the most beautiful Wildlings in existence. They have heads turning in the Wildlings, of course, the Night's Watch and on the forces of King Stannis Baratheon... if they get past the fact that they can carve them with a spear. |
| 255 | * Nicci, of ''Literature/TheSwordOfTruth.'' She's a [[BuxomBeautyStandard buxom]], blonde-haired and blue-eyed goddess who habitually dresses in tight and low-cut black dresses, and makes the previously-proclaimed WorldsMostBeautifulWoman Kahlan Amnell ''feel ugly'' by comparison. Of course, she's also a deeply troubled and ''incredibly'' powerful DarkMagicalGirl and DarkActionGirl who uses and lives up to the epithet [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Death's Mistress]] even ''after'' [[spoiler: her HighHeelFaceTurn]]. But man, [[GreatWayToGo what a way to go]]. |
| 256 | * [[MeaningfulName Angel]] of ''Literature/RedeemingLove''. There’s a reason she’s the highest-priced “soiled dove” in [[PunnyName Pair-O-Dice]] by a huge margin, and she has to go out walking with a bodyguard to avoid being accosted. Now cue the entrance of the CelibateHero. [[RuleOfDrama Shake well for drama]]. |
| 257 | * Model Joanna Clark in Elise Title's ''The Face in the Mirror''. |
| 258 | -->Judging from the mesmerized stares of her brand new fan club, the rest of the woman lived up to those Creator/BettyGrable legs and then some. |
| 259 | * Both Gloss and Cashmere of ''Literature/TheHungerGames'' are described as beautiful. |
| 260 | * Dread Empress Malicia from ''Literature/APracticalGuideToEvil'' is described as absolutely, stunningly beautiful, to the point she even gets a reaction out of the asexual Masego and has had people ''kill'' to have a conversation with her. She uses it to great effect, playing up the role of the seductress with enchanted dresses in public so that everyone only thinks with their loins around her. In private, though, she is a much pruder person. |
| 261 | * Jane Bennet in ''Literature/PrideAndPrejudice'' is this. Besides once inducing a man into sending her poetry, attracting Charles Bingley to herself, and being Mr Collins' first choice for wife, everybody acknowledges that she is the prettiest of the attractive Bennet sisters, and even Mr Darcy, who has never anything nice to say about anybody, is ready to honestly admit that she is very pretty (although she smiles too much). |
| 262 | * Greta in Lawrence Block's ''The Canceled Czech''. |
| 263 | -->She was tall, almost my height, and her long blonde hair melted over her shoulders. Her eyes were a deep, vivid blue. Her body was long and leggy and yet more than abundantly curved. An old Norseman would have carved her on the prow of his ship; whatever his skill, he could not possibly have improved on the original. |
| 264 | * In ''Literature/TheArtsOfDarkAndLight'', almost no one who meets Lithriel fails to comment on her striking beauty. ''Literally'' no one fails to be struck by it. Whether the observer is an older, happily married man, an officer with FantasticRacism against elves like her, or even [[StupidSexyFlanders another woman]]. |
| 265 | * In ''The Surgeon '' (the first ''Literature/RizzoliAndIsles '' book), Detective [[PlainJane Jane]] Rizzoli bitterly describes Dr. Catherine Cordell as this, increasingly jealous over the woman's good looks and her partner's burgeoning relationship with her. |
| 266 | * Rosa's unusual beauty in ''Literature/TheHouseOfTheSpirits'' when Esteban Trueba sees her for the first time causes a crowd of men to form outside the window of the shop she is in - however this same beauty intimidates men to the point where nobody has ever ventured to marry her. She is known after her death as Rosa the Beautiful. |
| 267 | * ''Literature/SecondApocalypse'': Anasûrimbor Serwa, due to the nigh-superhuman blood of her Dunyain father, is physically flawless. When she attends war meetings, she's said to be "a lodestone on men's eyes." |
| 268 | [[/folder]] |
| 269 | |
| 270 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 271 | * ''Series/DowntonAbbey'': Gender Inverted with Jimmy the handsome footman, who gets the downstairs ladies, the upstairs ladies and Thomas to all light up with interest, and causes a disapproving Carson to say that hard work and industriousness is more important than being handsome. |
| 272 | * ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' Penny is universally attractive to every nerd in the series. The same is true for Sheldon's sister and the other three main nerds. |
| 273 | * ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': In "New Girl", all the boys at Madison immediately fall for the titular girl. Worse, from Miss Brooks' perspective, Mr. Boynton starts to fall for her mother. |
| 274 | * ''Series/GameOfThrones'': Talisa. When presented to Walder Frey, he understands why Robb romped with her. That didn't make him any less angry that Robb snubbed one of Walder’s own daughters by doing so. |
| 275 | ** Daenerys. One look at her has Daario fall head over heels and brutally murder his long standing fellow mercenary partners and present their heads to her. Along with the mercenary troops. |
| 276 | * In ''Series/HappyEndings'', this is the gang's reaction (even [[StraightGay Max's]]) to [[ButtMonkey Shershow's]] fiance, right after Penny says that anyone who would marry him must be [[DescriptionCut "busted in la fache"]]. |
| 277 | -->'''Max:''' Wow, Shershow, you hit it out of the park. She's both beautiful and says Honduras the fancy way.\ |
| 278 | '''Penny:''' She's really pretty.\ |
| 279 | '''Max:''' Pretty? I mean, she's a living doll. I am attracted to you -- very much so. And I am a gay man. |
| 280 | * ''Series/{{Angel}}''. This was any red-blooded [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer human's]] reaction to [[ClassyCatburglar Gwen Raiden's]] entrance. This behavior is, however, Freudian, given that her powers ensure that she is a virgin (you can't touch her without getting an electric shock) as she admits in "Players". MaleGaze is the closest to sex she can get. |
| 281 | %% * Christa in ''Series/AufWiedersehenPet''. |
| 282 | * ''Series/NeverHaveIEver'': |
| 283 | ** Kamala's beauty is enough to make random men crash into the Vishwakumars' trash bins and walls at the sight of her. |
| 284 | ** Her would-be fiance, Prashant, actually stuns the Vishwakumars silent with his good looks when he first shows up at their doorstep. A pleased Devi tells him that they were expecting someone ugly. |
| 285 | * Gloria "Ripples" Brancusi, RN, from ''TrapperJohnMD'' is another sympathetic example. |
| 286 | * In ''Series/MadMen'': Joan Holloway (played by Creator/ChristinaHendricks), the bitchy, [[SexySecretary seductive secretary]] with the ''unbelievable'' body, who turns out to be both extremely bright and pragmatic enough to realize that her intelligence is going to do her exactly no good at all in the giant boys' club where she works. |
| 287 | * In ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' Saffron (also played by Christina Hendricks) had this going for her too, especially in her first appearance when she was pretending to be an InnocentFanserviceGirl. |
| 288 | * ''Series/{{Bones}}'': According to Booth, "There isn't a guy in this country who ''wouldn't'' want to have sex with Temperance Brennan, including half the gay men." Of course, it ''is'' Emily Deschanel. |
| 289 | * ''Series/That70sShow'': |
| 290 | ** Donna's mother, Midge. Most of the male characters openly admit they'd like to sleep with her. The boys buy her sweaters as Christmas gifts so they can ogle her. Once, when Kelso and Fez thought Eric had slept with her, they both fell to their knees and started bowing to him. Of course it turned out that it was all just a misunderstanding. |
| 291 | ** Jackie's mother, Pam, played by Brooke Shields. A particularly well-executed instance, in that the male characters react to her according to their individual personalities. When the Formans invite Pam and Bob over, Eric and Hyde dress up but coyly feign ignorance about her coming over; Red acts helpful to Pam while ignoring the other guests and even Kitty, and Kelso, in his usual style, bursts through the door shouting, "What's she wearing?" |
| 292 | ** In a parody of the ''Grease'' example above, Jackie draws the same reaction when she appears in the Bad Sandy get-up. |
| 293 | * The first season of ''Series/{{Mash}}'' had Nurse Cutler, whom Hawkeye and Trapper went to ludicrous and sometimes life-threatenening lengths to keep at the 4077. |
| 294 | %% * Jennifer Marlowe, ''Series/WKRPInCincinnati'''s receptionist. |
| 295 | * ''Series/WillAndGrace'' has Dr. Morty, played by Nicolette Sheridan. Grace mentions to Leo she is uncomfortable with him working with her. He responds that she's not his type, to which Grace immediately retorts, "Oh, please. She's everyone's type, hell, I'd do her." |
| 296 | * The ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' character "Shanna" played by Kristin Wiig makes fun of this trope. She's a voluptuous secretary who speaks in a breathy Marilyn Monroe-like voice and the men in her office drool over her until she attempts to do something sexily. Instead of it being sexy it ends up being gross and weird. All the men are put off by her increasingly disgusting traits except the boss who grows more and more infatuated with her. |
| 297 | * ''Series/{{Friends}}'': |
| 298 | ** In one episode Monica [[ItMakesSenseInContext accidentally hires a hooker for Chandler]], and Chandler and Joey answer the door for her. They both have a reaction that screams "''Helllllllo'' Nurse!" Particularly [[TheCasanova Joey]], as evidenced by his [[SomethingElseAlsoRises party favor.]] |
| 299 | ** Monica and Ross's cousin (played by Denise Richards) gets this reaction from Chandler, [[KissingCousins Ross]] and [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer Phoebe]]. |
| 300 | ** Phoebe is due to see her recent ex-boyfriend at a party so she gets extra dressed up to make him jealous. When she walks into Central Perk in her LittleBlackDress, notorious BigEater Joey actually stops eating to compliment how good she looks. |
| 301 | --->'''Joey:''' You look "stop eating" hot! Which is, like, the highest level of hotness! |
| 302 | * While this isn't how she is normally perceived, [[Series/{{Heroes}} Claire Bennet]] is hired by a comic book store for the obvious effect she will have on their clientele. |
| 303 | * Nurse Goodbody on ''Series/HeeHaw''. |
| 304 | * On ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', we have Heather Locklear guest starring, complete with JD's ImagineSpot of her doing a SupermodelStrut that makes someone in a body bag sit up to stare. Turk brings up a threeway ambition he's had for a while, and Carla [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer doesn't mind the idea]]. Of course, she didn't realize he would actually ask Locklear. |
| 305 | * Cerie on ''Series/ThirtyRock''. She is usually oblivious to her effect on everyone. Most of her wardrobe is ultra-mini skirts and shorts, and very revealing tops, which don't help. Liz tries to get her to wear more office-appropriate clothes... and eventually gives up. |
| 306 | * ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' has pulled this trope a few times by putting the normally rough-and-tumble Ziva into a bikini or a backless, slinky dress. But it kicks it up a notch in the episode in which Abby dresses like Creator/MarilynMonroe, or any episode in which Abby is shown wearing mainstream business attire. |
| 307 | * Appears in ''Series/AmericanChopper'' in the form of a custom-built ambulance motorcycle. |
| 308 | * Sarah Walker on ''Series/{{Chuck}}'' has this effect on pretty much everyone. Ellie is practically giddy when she meets Chuck's gorgeous "girlfriend" for the first time, and especially early in the series many characters don't believe Chuck could possibly be dating someone like her. |
| 309 | * Kelly Bundy in ''Series/MarriedWithChildren''. Pretty much every male on the show (except for her father and her brother) drools over her. |
| 310 | * Two from ''Series/DiplomaticImmunity'': |
| 311 | ** First of all Jonah is caught secretly seeing an Eastern European woman called Svetlana. The word "hot" is used in almost every sentence referring to her. |
| 312 | ** Kirsty is also this to the men belonging to the CBOB Church - something she is not happy about, as they propose to her every year. |
| 313 | ** Leilani manages to be this and the OnlySaneMan. She's trying to abolish the corrupt monarchy in Fe'ausi, and sometimes uses her beauty to get people to listen to her cause. She is Leighton's primary love interest, and Jonah suspects from the first episode he could use the former's attraction to her to his advantage. |
| 314 | * In the 100th episode of ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'', [=MacLaren=]'s hired an attractive female bartender which caused all the guys (except [[SingleTargetSexuality Marshall]]) to have the hots on her which made Robin jealous. Barney wants to bed her only to find out that she hates dating suit wearers because her ex-boyfriends wear them. Robin theorised it was solely because she was a cute girl behind a bar. When she went behind the bar to prove a point, she had this effect on the customers too. |
| 315 | * ''Series/EightSimpleRules'' - Bridget is courted by all the boys (and some girls too) and is infinitely popular because of it. One episode shows her getting on the PA system and announcing only her name - getting audible cheers from the whole school. It is shown that this may be down to her charisma as well as beauty; one episode has her get a broken nose and she worries that she won't be popular anymore. Turns out they still love her. |
| 316 | * Music/SClub7 portrayed Rachel Stevens this way in the TV show. She would have several love interests and be presented as the attractive one of the band - it was usually her who provided the most overt {{Fanservice}}. In real life she was the only member who didn't have to audition - being discovered through her modelling agency and asked to come in to record a demo. She's continued to be a sex symbol even in her forties! |
| 317 | * ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'' gives us Sabrina's aunt Vesta, portrayed by 60s and 70s sex symbol Raquel Welch. She enters posing as a substitute teacher, reducing all the boys in class to drooling morons. She also has a room in her Pleasure Dome full of single men. |
| 318 | * In the pilot episode of ''Series/DeepSpaceNine'', even Commander Sisko can't restrain a whistle of appreciation at Jadzia Dax. The irony being that when he last knew 'her' he was [[TheNthDoctor Curzon Dax]], an elderly man. A few episodes later she's shown walking on the promenade with Major Kira, enjoying the greetings from passing men and saying she'd forgotten how different being female was. |
| 319 | * ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise''. {{Green Skinned Space Babe}}s from Orion have this effect in the ''entire'' male crew, though it's actually related to their pheromones. |
| 320 | * ''Series/SexEducation'': ForeignExchangeStudent Rahim from France. When he's introduced, the horde of Moordale students trip over themselves to get a look at him, they stop and stare, and rumors start flying around instantly. Even the most popular kids "The Untouchables" are impressed with him and Ruby decides he will be her boyfriend. Lily says she just had a very small orgasm just from looking at him. Eric stares, calls Otis to have a look and then calls him the hottest man he's ever seen. |
| 321 | * Naevia in ''Series/SpartacusBloodAndSand'' is a BeautifulSlaveGirl who is selected by Lucretia to become her personal attendant - meaning her virginity will be preserved precisely because she would be considered an attractive prospect for someone to marry. In-universe she attracts Crixus, Asher and a couple of guards she seduces for information. Her actress Creator/LeslieAnnBrandt also plays Leilani in the ''Diplomatic Immunity'' example above. |
| 322 | * ''Series/TheWhiteLotus'': Rachel Patton, played by Creator/AlexandraDaddario, tries to engage college rich kid Olivia in polite, poolside conversation and receives only smug condescension. After giving up, Rachel strips to her swimsuit and wades into the pool. Olivia's smirk disappears into a stunned reaction when she sees Rachel's ridiculously statuesque figure. |
| 323 | * ''Series/MrsAmerica'': Just like in real life, Gloria Steinem is noted for being ''stunningly'' beautiful, and people seem incapable of not mentioning her looks when talking about her. Even [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer Alice]] is stunned the first time she sees her. [[SoBeautifulItsACurse Gloria herself is frustrated by this]], as she knows a lot of people only see her as a sex symbol and aren't interested in her ideas and writings, and she doesn't want to be a mere poster girl for the feminist movement she's trying to help push forward. She also endures harrassment and objectification from her politial opponents. Bella advises her to make use of it, since her beauty makes people pay attention, and that's at least something. |
| 324 | * ''Series/UtopiaFalls'': Brooklyn is very pretty, and [[ProudBeauty knows it]], drawing others' immediate attention when she enters the room (Sage notices in particular, soon becoming her girlfriend). |
| 325 | * ''Series/BanjunDrama'': [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] in "My Life's Eraser." Yoo-jin is so beautiful that her mere presence causes men (and a dog) to literally turn their heads and fawn over her, with a crowd of guys following her as she walks out of a restaurant with her husband. Men are so head over heels that one admirer breaks into her house and attempts to [[MurderTheHypotenuse kill her husband to make her his.]] |
| 326 | * ''Series/{{Charmed 1998}}'': |
| 327 | ** Prue was this in high school, as a glamorous AlphaBitch who was head cheerleader, and Piper's best friend Justin jokes that he was her "willing slave". Interestingly enough, she is dressed down at the beginning of the series, opting for plainer business attire. As her powers and confidence grow, she begins to look more like a bombshell, to the point that going undercover to pretend to be the assassin Ms Hellfire (and dressing in her sexy clothes) gets the man who hired her to fall in LoveAtFirstSight with her. |
| 328 | ** Phoebe is later considered this once she becomes an advice columnist for the Bay Mirror. Part of this is due to marketing, as Elise tries to hype her against a rival columnist by getting her to do a sexy photoshoot. She also gets the most love interests of the rest of the sisters. Even series creator Constance M Burge says that Creator/AlyssaMilano brought a natural sexiness to Phoebe that wasn't there as written. This is cranked up a notch when she is turned into a LoveGoddess and has an entire room full of men doting on her. |
| 329 | ** Paige also becomes considered this in Season 5 for similar reasons as Prue - her powers and confidence growing, leaving the office job behind and embracing a sexier wardrobe. That season frequently saw her with many different guys every week, to the point that her actress complained "Paige isn't a ho!", and demons were frequently attracted to her. Naturally when she ends up in a FilmNoir parody, she is advised to play the FemmeFatale. |
| 330 | [[/folder]] |
| 331 | |
| 332 | [[folder:Manhwa]] |
| 333 | * ''Manhwa/DorothyOfOz'': Selluriah's Witch form tends to elicit this reaction from people. Indigo is pretty much the only male in the series to witness it and not melt into a puddle on the floor. Though it's implied that this is only because he's seen it so many times it no longer has a noticeable effect on him. |
| 334 | [[/folder]] |
| 335 | |
| 336 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 337 | * Nurse Rosetta, the title character of a song from Music/AliceCooper's ''From the Inside'' album. |
| 338 | * Music/DoctorSteel has "Nurses" (members of his [[Website/ToySoldiersUnite Army of Toy Soldiers]] that dress in sexy nurse uniforms) [[FanServiceWithASmile attend him]]—both on stage and other public appearances and in several of his videos. |
| 339 | * The song "Brain Damage", from Music/{{Eminem}}'s first commercial album ''The Slim Shady LP'', gives us the line, "Teacher, teacher! Quick, I need a naked nurse!" |
| 340 | * The music video for "As Good As I Once Was" by Music/TobyKeith. The final scene sees Keith—playing a bar patron socked by a giant muscle man during a barroom brawl—in the back of an ambulance, tended to by a sexy female paramedic. Keith tries to pinch her behind before he ultimately passes out; the final moments of the video are seen from Keith's perspective, with the screen turning blurry before going black as he slowly loses consciousness, the medic the last thing he sees. |
| 341 | * The song "Baby's Got Her Blue Jeans On" in spades. The girl in the song causes ''traffic jams'' while wearing blue jeans! |
| 342 | * The Brazilian Bossa Nova song "The Girl From Ipanema" is precisely about a girl that doesn't even realize that she's turning heads as she walks. |
| 343 | * Music/EricClapton's "Wonderful Tonight" |
| 344 | -->''We go to a party\ |
| 345 | And everyone turns to see\ |
| 346 | This beautiful lady\ |
| 347 | That's walking around with me\ |
| 348 | And then she asks me, "Do you feel alright?"\ |
| 349 | And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight"'' |
| 350 | * Music/SammyKershaw's "She Don't Know She's Beautiful," in both the first and second verse. At the first, they're at a party, and "people stop and everybody stares" as they come in. In the second, they're walking down the street "and someone lets a whistle out." In both cases, he thinks it's cute because she doesn't know ''she'' is the one causing all the fuss. |
| 351 | [[/folder]] |
| 352 | |
| 353 | [[folder:Pinballs]] |
| 354 | * The backglass art from [=WhizBang=] Pinball's ''[[Pinball/WhoaNellieBigJuicyMelons Whoa Nellie! Big Juicy Melons!]]'' shows Melony, eldest of the [[FarmersDaughter three daughters of the Mellon farm,]] trying to sell her wares... oblivious to the lustful farm workers (and horse) distracted behind her. |
| 355 | [[/folder]] |
| 356 | |
| 357 | [[folder:Pro Wrestling]] |
| 358 | * Pretty much any woman in ProfessionalWrestling who doesn't look masculine. Female managers and valets are known to take advantage of this by using their... assets to {{Distract|edByTheSexy}} their client's opponents (and [[EasilyDistractedReferee the refs]]), allowing their client to get the win. |
| 359 | * Wrestling/TammyLynnSytch initially tried being an evil feminist while acting as a valet for Wrestling/ChrisCandido and Wrestling/BallsMahoney, but after realizing how pretty she was thought of, she decided women shouldn't be wrestlers when she could get by on how she looked. [[Wrestling/DebraMarshall Debra]] was another. She was the one the UnusualEuphemism "Puppies" was about. She would receive standing ovations simply for walking down the entrance aisle. When she was forced by match stipulation to [[YouCanLeaveYourHatOn perform a striptease]], she had the crowd in the palm of her hand. |
| 360 | * Wrestling/TerriRunnels had a moderate amount of wrestling knowledge, but she didn't train for strength, cardio or even wrestling as such. She trained for looks, and to move with her [[FakeBoobs boob job]], and to move in tiny pieces of NudeColoredClothing. It all worked very well, and indeed was deemed more "diva" than wrestler or even valet. She was still a good valet though, as she made sure to turn heads back to Wrestling/{{Goldust}} when it was match time. |
| 361 | * WWE would like you to forget Terri and Sunny(Tammy) and have one believe Wrestling/{{Sable}} was the first of these in post territorial professional wrestling. She ''was'' the first woman to ever become insanely popular just because of her breathtaking beauty, not having the talents of her two mentioned predecessors but overtaking them anyway. She was also one of the Trope Codifiers for SmurfetteBreakout as her popularity eclipsed that of her husband. |
| 362 | * Wrestling/TrishStratus was this before she had entered a wrestling company. WWE and WCW had a bidding war to try and get her to join them. The extent of this was so huge that at her Hall of Fame induction, when she mentioned her husband, the fans in attendance booed (at the idea that Trish was no longer available). |
| 363 | * Wrestling/TorrieWilson was a more playful GirlNextDoor example of this. While she provided plenty of {{Fanservice}}, she managed to be TheWoobie as well. |
| 364 | * Wrestling/StacyKeibler was rarely pushed in a wrestling capacity but she would always receive monstrous pops simply from walking down the entrance ramp (and giving a little {{panty shot}} as part of her ring entrance). All down to her stunning beauty. She plays the female bartender listed in the ''How I Met Your Mother'' example above. |
| 365 | * Traci Brooks was literally this in Wrestling/{{TNA}}, walking by and attracting enough attention for her man, be it Wrestling/RobertRoode, Wrestling/JamesStorm or some other, to punch his opponent while he was distracted. In the event she couldn't distract a man this way, Brooks would get upset and try to hit him with her "pie in the sky" FinishingMove. America's Most Wanted also had Wrestling/GailKim and Wrestling/{{Jacqueline}} for the same purpose, with the same attitude when the act didn't work, although when Jacqueline moved on to Beer Money and ended up next to Brooks, Storm mentioned that he liked having Jacqueline around but thought Traci's looks were her only value. Roode went further and attempted to replace Brooks with Peyton Banks, but he still made sure the replacement had a giant chest before making that decision. |
| 366 | * Rayna Von Tosh of ''Wrestling/{{SHIMMER}}'' managed to inspire this reaction with her burlesque pin-up gimmick. Within two appearances she already had the crowd chanting "R-V-T!" repeatedly. It seems EvenTheGirlsWantHer too. |
| 367 | --> '''Allison Danger:''' Rayna, I'm happily married, but Mazel Tov to ya. |
| 368 | * Done quite literally in Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling by Yujiro Takahashi, who has taken on a sleazy womanising gimmick that sees him walk to the ring with two models dressed in skimpy nurse outfits. |
| 369 | * Wrestling/KellyKelly was another who provoked this reaction, as her first gimmick was that of a stripteaser. She was Jerry Lawler's favourite Diva and he would always go wild whenever she walked out. |
| 370 | * Wrestling/EvaMarie became a BreakoutCharacter of ''Series/TotalDivas'' and was promoted as the sexy one of the cast, getting a cover of Maxim and several high profile modelling gigs. Of course within the smart mark community she had a very vocal {{Hatedom}} due to her [[FauxActionGirl lack of wrestling skills]]. |
| 371 | * {{Wrestling/Paige}} was actually this in her pre-WWE career. The documentary following her signing to WWE has an interview with her mother, describing how she realised that if she put her daughter's face on merchandise, it would immediately sell due to her beauty. In WWE however, she was portrayed more as a NotLikeOtherGirls tomboy who called herself the 'Anti-Diva'. |
| 372 | [[/folder]] |
| 373 | |
| 374 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 375 | * Nymphs in ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' are so beautiful that merely looking at them can make you go blind. Or in some editions, dead! (In some cases, looking at a ''clothed'' nymph will blind you, while looking at a ''[[FullFrontalAssault nude]]'' one can kill you.) Most women require an extra step. |
| 376 | * The [[HotGypsyWoman Crimson Rose]] and [[SnakesAreSexy Silessa, the Snake Mistress]] in ''TabletopGame/{{Ravenloft}}'' are two exotic dancing beauties in the Carnival that stand out among its [[GrotesqueGallery less-fortunate looking members]]. The latter is an asp snake turned into an impossibly gorgeous elf babe with many admirers InUniverse and whose character description in The Carnival rulebook drips with MaleGaze. The former can actually [[CharmPerson magically enthrance any men who watches her dance]], although, she is also cursed into flying in murderous rage if they make a move on her. |
| 377 | * You can play as one in the ''TabletopGame/OldWorldOfDarkness'' since Appearance is an attribute measured from 1 to 5. One is ugly, two is average, three is the pinnacle of mortal beauty. You can take it up 4 (legendary) and 5 (impossibly beautiful). In TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}, you can take this '''to ten'''. The sight of which would probably kill mere mortals. |
| 378 | ** The [[TheBeautifulElite Sidhe]], from ''TabletopGame/ChangelingTheDreaming'', get 2 free dots in Appearance which means that at least they are more beautiful than an average woman and at their full potential they are, virtually, beauty goddesses. |
| 379 | * The restructuring of the system into ''TabletopGame/ChroniclesOfDarkness'' drops Appearance, but has the similar Presence attribute. However, this is less your looks and more your general allure. Playing it straight is the merit Striking Looks; at two dots, people notice you in a crowd, while at four dots you could be a supermodel. |
| 380 | ** This is a requirement for a Galateid in ''TabletopGame/PrometheanTheCreated''. Galateids must use the bodies of beautiful young adults who died in a "clean" way in order to create their offspring. Striking Looks isn't a ''necessity'', but most have it anyway. It's noted that there's a derth of pretty young people who die of gas leaks or overdoses, leaving most Galateids [[MurderIsTheBestSolution with few options]]. |
| 381 | * ''VideoGame/SNKVsCapcom'''s TCG has this as a reaction card. It has [[MsFanservice Morrigan]] [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Aensland]] in a nurse outfit similar to the one she uses in ''VideoGame/SuperGemFighter''. |
| 382 | [[/folder]] |
| 383 | |
| 384 | [[folder:Theatre]] |
| 385 | * The SexySecretary Hedy [=LaRue=] from ''Theatre/HowToSucceedInBusinessWithoutReallyTrying'' is this in every sense. From the total meltdowns of the male cast members who see her SupermodelStrut to only wanting the—[[UsefulNotes/{{Asexual}} technically not]]—ChasteHero.She traps him so he has to kiss her or lose his job, and once he does he [[LoveEpiphany realizes that he's in love]] with the female lead who'd been previously practically throwing herself at him without him really noticing, ''during the kiss''. (At which point Hedy seems genuinely pleased for him!) |
| 386 | * The nurse, naturally enough, in the Doctor's Office sketch from ''Theatre/OhCalcutta''. |
| 387 | * Stupefyin' Jones in the musical version of ''Theatre/LilAbner'', (along with the film adaptation, in both cases originally played by Julie Newmar) whose sex appeal is so devastating that she's classified as munitions. |
| 388 | [[/folder]] |
| 389 | |
| 390 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 391 | * ''VideoGame/{{Bully}}'': Art teacher Ms. Philips is widely considered the hottest woman on campus by half the male students, to the point one student acknowledges that she was a bunny waitress in college. Even Jimmy gets his hopes up too high when she requires him to get her clothing for her date with the English teacher. |
| 392 | * Morrigan Aensland, the flirty succubus from ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}''. CatGirl Felicia also qualifies from her {{Stripperific}} appearance and added that she's an exotic battle dancer from Vegas to boot. |
| 393 | * ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'': |
| 394 | ** If the Warden is female, she's this trope. Several of the [=NPCs=] comment very admiringly on how beautiful she is, particularly if she's the human noble. Zevran's reaction to a female player character in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' suggests this. |
| 395 | ** Marjolaine has this effect on Leliana's male teammates in the opening of the [[DownloadableContent DLC]] ''Leliana's Song''. Partially justified by her training as a bard. |
| 396 | * ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'': |
| 397 | ** Sheena Fujibayashi, of the oblivious or unwilling to exploit it type. (It is implied she is a virgin.) In fact, she tends to get [[{{Tsundere}} violently defensive]] whenever anyone (especially [[HandsomeLech Zelos]]) starts mentioning her looks. True to trope, the only person whose attentions she wouldn't mind would be [[ChasteHero Lloyd's]]--who for the most part wouldn't know romance if it came along and struck him hard in the head. |
| 398 | ** To a lesser extent, Raine [[SexyMentor Sage]], who has a fanclub in her hometown of Iselia. |
| 399 | * ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' has this as a [[SlidingScaleOfGameplayAndStoryIntegration gameplay element]]: |
| 400 | ** In the first game, ''VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness'', Jennifer, HyperCompetentSidekick of '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''', is sufficiently sexy enough to make the protagonist ''literally'' [[AllergicToLove allergic]] to her. This affects his fighting capabilities... negatively. |
| 401 | ** ''[[VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories Disgaea 2]]'' has Rozalin, who buffs the power of male units surrounding her. |
| 402 | ** ''[[VideoGame/Disgaea3AbsenceOfJustice Disgaea 3]]'' added Sapphire, who powers up male allies much like Rozalin, and Master Big Star, who can get an evility which lets him power up female allies. |
| 403 | ** ''[[VideoGame/Disgaea4APromiseUnforgotten Disgaea 4]]'' has Vulcanus[[spoiler:/Artina]] the busty thief angel who, just like her predecessors, makes the male units surrounding her stronger. |
| 404 | ** ''[[VideoGame/Disgaea5AllianceOfVengeance Disgaea 5]]'' has Seraphina's Balor Gaze, an [[LimitBreak overload power]] that charms all male enemies in range for one turn. |
| 405 | * In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance'', every support conversation involving Nephenee or Lucia includes someone telling them how beautiful they are. |
| 406 | * Honorable mention goes to Reina Mayuzumi from ''VideoGame/TraumaCenter'' (more specifically, ''Under The Knife 2''). |
| 407 | ** Sadly, her beauty was, in many ways, only skin deep. In fact, she [[spoiler:turned into a crippled old lady once the GUILT she knowingly and willingly incubated in her body became active.]] |
| 408 | * Litchi Faye-Ling from ''Franchise/BlazBlue''. On top of being a doctor/nurse, her assistant says everyone in Orient Town is crazy about her, and let's not even talk about how crazy [[BoisterousBruiser Bang Shishigami]] is towards her. Well, judging on how she looks, [[{{Stripperiffic}} who'd blame her]]? It helps that she's a genuinely kind person. |
| 409 | * Krystal from the ''Franchise/StarFox'' series. When the protagonist, Fox [=McCloud=] sees her for the very first time, he is mesmerized by her beauty (with {{Sexophone}} as background music even), needing [[MomentKiller a comms buzz from Peppy in order to pull him out of it]]. She later becomes part of the team, and returns Fox's affections, resulting in plenty of UnresolvedSexualTension between her and Fox, with mixes of SheIsNotMyGirlfriend, EveryoneCanSeeIt, and MySensorsIndicateYouWantToTapThat. They later become a couple. [[TheCasanova Panther Caruso]] has also become madly attracted to her, although on a far more superficial level than Fox, having apparently heard of her beauty from afar prior to meeting her, and then {{Wolf Whistle}}s and essentially decides to pursue her once he does, whether she likes it or not. |
| 410 | * Ellis has this reaction to Zoey in ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2''. Somewhat ironic in the beaten up Zoey had just come through the ZombieApocalypse and wasn't exactly looking her best. But she was one of the only two women left in the world, so Ellis didn't have much to chose from. [[http://bloodsprayer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/zoey.jpg She was still pretty fucking gorgeous]] [[UnkemptBeauty despite going through an apocalypse]], though. |
| 411 | * Silvia from ''VideoGame/TheAct'' although ([[spoiler:one of the male doctors berates her for letting Edgar in the hospital outside of visiting hours]]) [[http://theactgame.com/Characters/ Trope is actually referenced by (its original) name in her character bio.]] |
| 412 | * In nearly every entry of the ''VideoGame/{{Suikoden}}'' series, barring [[VideoGame/SuikodenI the first]], ''everyone'' is crazy about [[MsFanservice the beautiful skimpy runemistress Jeane]]. This is later semi-justified that on her body is a rune called "Charm Rune" which made those near her swoon over her. The reason why she's not like that in the first game is because ''Suikoden'' was still a fledgling series and her MsFanservice and [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} Hello, Nurse!]] status hadn't been capitalized at the moment. |
| 413 | * [[HospitalHottie Valentine]] in ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'' causes this a lot, even causing Peacock to quote the original trope name verbatim upon seeing her. |
| 414 | * Mercy from ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' is a lovely Swiss Miss, who acts as one the key healers of the Support Class. True she's more of a [[CombatMedic Battle Nurse]] but her appearance is simply heavenly to the eye. |
| 415 | * Fall-From-Grace in ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'' is considered incredibly attractive in-universe due to her nature as a [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubus]] and possessing inhumanly high charisma -- according to Nordom, she is considered to be attractive by males of 321,423 separate species (give or take five). Being a CelibateHero who prefers to dress modestly (ironically enough for [[MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch her race]]) doesn't deter this trope at all. Even Annah, the game's designated MsFanservice, feels jealous of her. |
| 416 | * Creator/{{Nintendo}} took Link's usual ChickMagnet status to its logical conclusion in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', where countless [=NPCs=] will hit on Link or comment on his attractiveness [[EvenTheGuysWantHim regardless of gender]] or species. It only escalates further when [[AttractiveBentGender he's in drag]], as some men he talks to can't even put a coherent sentence together in his presence. |
| 417 | -->'''Benji:''' (Don't mess this up, don't mess this up...) H-h-h-hey there! Date you want a go do on to?! |
| 418 | * ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake'' |
| 419 | ** Several characters in-game commentate on how attractive Tifa is. Chocobo Sam even finds it extremely unlikely for Don Corneo to pick anyone else as his bride. |
| 420 | ** Aerith is treated as HollywoodHomely by Wall Market [=NPCs=] at first, but becomes this if the most expensive dress is obtained for the Don Corneo rescue mission. It's a cleavage-bearing [[LadyInRed red number]] that unveils Aerith's stunning beauty. She attracts a huge crowd of admirers and even the hardass mercenary protagonist is left a stuttering mess. |
| 421 | ** Many [=NPCs=] and most of female cast comment on Cloud being attractive. When he [[WholesomeCrossdresser dresses up as a woman]] most of the Wall Market [=NPCs=] are smitten by him and Chadley [[FirstTimeFeeling feels emotions for the first time]] upon seeing Cloud. |
| 422 | * ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'': |
| 423 | ** The PlayerCharacter (canonically female) is stated to be this, being beautiful and very charasmatic. This is because [[spoiler: of her ability to subconciously form Force Bonds, attracting others, Force Sensitives especially, to her]]. Throughout the game, the female Exile captures the affection of [[TheLancer Atton]], [[BadassBookworm Disciple]], and even ''[[VillainousCrush Darth Sion]]''. |
| 424 | ** [[BountyHunter Mira]] actively uses this and her {{Stripperiffic}} wardrobe to her advantage [[DistractedByTheSexy against male targets]]. |
| 425 | [[/folder]] |
| 426 | |
| 427 | [[folder:Visual Novels]] |
| 428 | * Dahlia Hawthorne in ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations''. [[spoiler:She's actually a near-demonic psychopath.]] She elicits the effect by being [[{{Moe}} small and delicate]], rather than sexy, though. |
| 429 | ** Also, April May of the first game. Every man who meets her (except [[IgnoreTheFanservice Edgeworth]]) is instantly smitten. [[http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e117/fatalfeline/postcard_09.png There's even official art of her in a nurse uniform!]] |
| 430 | ** Mia Fey, having the advantage of a [[BuxomBeautyStandard bigger bust]] than both Dahlia and April, gets quite a bit of this too from characters such as Larry, Gumshoe, and Victor Kudo, especially when Maya or Pearl is channeling her, since their outfit gets a NavelDeepNeckline. |
| 431 | ** In ''VisualNovel/TheGreatAceAttorney'', when witness Jezaille Brett arrives in court, her beauty and charm captivates and stuns the entire courtroom into silence. Even Kazuma, who at this point [[spoiler: suspected Jezaille to be the real murderer]] gently teases Ryunosuke for somehow failing to notice or remember "a woman like that" sitting across from the victim. |
| 432 | |
| 433 | [[/folder]] |
| 434 | |
| 435 | [[folder:Web Animation]] |
| 436 | * [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Vet]][[GratuitousJapanese -sama]] from the [[SoBadItsGood hilariously terrible]] [=YouTube=] {{Fanime}}, ''WebAnimation/NyanNekoSugarGirls'' , parodies this trope. She's ''meant'' to be attractive, and the other characters behave as if she is. [[AllMenArePerverts The male ones, anyway.]] |
| 437 | * Eric Schwartz's made-on-the-Amiga ''Amy the Squirrel'' series of animated shorts (would be web-original, but they predate the web, having been made in TheEighties) is possibly an inspiration for Minerva Mink. Amy's still around in the ''Webcomic/SabrinaOnline'' comic. Viewable [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8Yh8_rfTMQ here]]. (Sadly that is the original sound quality.) |
| 438 | [[/folder]] |
| 439 | |
| 440 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 441 | * [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold Madame]] Louisa Dem Five from ''ComicBook/BuckGodotZapGunForHire''. Quoth [[http://airshipentertainment.com/buckcomic.php?date=20081127 herself]], |
| 442 | -->'''Louisa Dem Five:''' I cause so many moral crises that the [[InterfaithSmoothie Slag Bah]] consider me a religion. |
| 443 | * In the [=DeviantArt=] fancomic ''Webcomic/DisneyHighSchool'', one comic reveals that '''''[[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Jessica Rabbit]]''''', of all people, is the SchoolNurse! Of course, she's smart enough to know the effect she has on the boys and [[http://morloth88.deviantart.com/art/Hello-Nurse-659533363 plans accordingly.]] |
| 444 | * ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan: Oracle For Hire'' had a plot arc called "Hello Nurse!" in which [[HollywoodHomely "plain"]] nurse Pamela Chayler (who was really BeautifulAllAlong) gets a makeover in hopes of attracting Gregory Deegan's attention. Of course, when she opens the door in her sexy new outfit, she finds not Gregory but [[OhCrap a troop of horny slaughterball players]]. |
| 445 | * In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Tedd specifically designs [[http://egscomics.com/egsnp/2015-05-29 a form]] to elicit this reaction to put other card tournament players off their game. |
| 446 | * ''Webcomic/EerieCuties'': [[Administrivia/InUniverseExamplesOnly In-univese]], Layla is such a hottie that she's both a DudeMagnet ''and'' a ''[[EvenTheGirlsWantHer chick]]'' magnet! So much so, that when the guys at school [[MistakenForGay thought she was a lesbian]], [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/the_surprise it literally had them in tears]] lamenting they'd never have the chance to be with her. She's also garnered a canonical crush from Brooke (a bi girl), [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/the_conceited_scowl who secretly nurses unrequited feelings for her]] and a group of girls [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/chaperones actually took her to the prom.]] |
| 447 | * ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'' has [[https://bobadventures.thecomicseries.com/files/images/VolTurnWeb.jpg Princess Voluptua.]] It's worth remembering that her appearance is an illusion and she is actually a [[StarfishAliens giant alien butterfly]], and also that she is arguably the most mature member of the cast. (At [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld several centuries old]], she oughta be.) But ''still...!'' |
| 448 | * In ''Webcomic/JupiterMen'', the Doll Set is a GirlPosse of perfectly groomed and dressed cheerleaders who are the talk of Jupiter High. As their title implies, they're dressed almost like dolls, and the sight of them sparks gossip, hushed whispers, and flirtatious comments from passerby. |
| 449 | * For [[http://superredundant.com/?p=137 Distracterella]] of ''Webcomic/LeagueOfSuperRedundantHeroes'', it's her main (and only) superpower. That, and wearing just BodyPaint and pasties. |
| 450 | * ''Webcomic/MagickChicks'' actually uses this as a plot point, concerning the reason so many girls lust after [[SmugSuper Faith]]: [[spoiler: on a subconscious level, [[IJustWantToBeLoved she wanted to be loved]], so her psychic powers sync'd with the school to ensure she would be. [[http://www.magickchicks.com/strips-mc/even_her_enemies Thus reshaping it in her image]]]]. In other words: Faith ''quite literally'' oozes sex appeal. |
| 451 | * In ''Webcomic/MenageA3'', [=DiDi=] is a walking mass of breasts, lips and legs (especially breasts). Wherever she goes, whatever she does, all men are staring at her. Basically every character in the strip wants her or at least acknowledges her attractiveness. |
| 452 | * ''Webcomic/NoNeedForBushido'' uses this line in regards to Matrix showing up in an actual nurses outfit [[http://nn4b.com/?webcomic1=155 here]]. |
| 453 | * ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=946 references]] this trope in-universe when Faye goes to look something up for Sven and notices his browser history. |
| 454 | * Both leads of ''Webcomic/Reunion2021'': |
| 455 | ** Rhea overhears comments about Shiro's good looks while they're at the diner together. |
| 456 | ** Rhea's coworker notices that Rhea seems to attract customers to their store, and said customers are drawn with heart-eyes as Rhea serves them gelato. |
| 457 | * [[TheTease Monique]] from ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}''. She thoroughly enjoys the attention she gets most of the time, and [[TheVamp isn't above using it either]]. However, she is occasionally distressed that [[SoBeautifulItsACurse men only want her for her body]]. |
| 458 | * In ''Webcomic/WeakHero'', students start showing up at the pool hall just to get a look at the beautiful new part-time worker. Alex, Ben, and especially Gerard are quick to fall head over heels when they first meet her. |
| 459 | [[/folder]] |
| 460 | |
| 461 | [[folder:Web Original]] |
| 462 | * Fey at the SuperHeroSchool Whateley Academy in the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse''. Not only possessed of the beauty of the Sidhe, but also having a Faerie {{Glamour}} that (at the start of the series) she ''[[PowerIncontinence cannot turn off]]''—though she later damps it down. Slightly. |
| 463 | * Blog/UnshavedMouse: |
| 464 | ** When reviewing ''{{WesternAnimation/Aladdin}}'' he describes Princess Jasmine as the WorldsMostBeautifulWoman, remarking that Aladdin notices her "since he's well, you know, ALIVE!" |
| 465 | --->'''Mouse:''' I was going to say "straight", but even if he's gay... it's Jasmine.\ |
| 466 | '''[[WesternAnimation/{{Archer}} Ray Gillette]]:''' Girl, please. No-one's ''that'' gay. |
| 467 | ** And then when reviewing ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}}'', Esmeralda is so beautiful she makes him forget all about Jasmine. |
| 468 | --->'''Jasmine:''' Mouse? I can’t fight my feelings any more. I want you to take me, right here, right now...\ |
| 469 | '''Mouse:''' Hmm, what? Yeah, [[NotNowKiddo I think we have some in the fridge]]. I'm busy, Jasmine. |
| 470 | * The "Distracted Boyfriend" meme, showing a man turning his head to look appreciatively at a woman walking past, [[ImStandingRightHere to his girlfriend's outrage.]] Usually used to showcase fickle attention to something such as FleetingPassionateHobbies or AttentionDeficitOohShiny. |
| 471 | [[/folder]] |
| 472 | |
| 473 | [[folder:Web Videos]] |
| 474 | * In ''[[WebVideo/TheCartoonMan Return of the Cartoon Man]]'', [[spoiler:Valerie]] becomes this type of character following her transformation. |
| 475 | [[/folder]] |
| 476 | |
| 477 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 478 | * Francine Smith in ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad''. In the episode "Rubberneckers", Stan call in Francine as a witness and she arrives in a racy dress. As she walks towards the front, she catches the eye of every man present and Stan calls them on it. |
| 479 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'': |
| 480 | ** Former Trope Namer Hello Nurse is a sexy blonde assistant to the studio shrink[[note]]If he's a psychiatrist rather than psychologist then she likely is a qualified nurse[[/note]] who inspires this reaction from both Yakko and Wakko. She's hardly the only woman on the show to do so however. |
| 481 | ** A male nurse is also introduced at one point to get this reaction out of the Warner Sister, Dot, proving that this trope can indeed cross the gender barrier. Dot will also say the same when confronted with a {{Hunk}} or PrettyBoy - usually after [[HypocriticalHumour complaining about the other two]]. |
| 482 | ** Minerva Mink is the ultimate MsFanservice on the show - drawing even more exaggerated reactions than Hello Nurse. She's also the prime example of the one guy she has the hots for not being interested. |
| 483 | ** An episode that parodied ''Franchise/StarTrek'' had Not-Spock mindmeld with Wakko. The mindmeld caused Not!Spock to temporarily absorb some of Wakko's traits. When he sees Not!Uhura he immediately has this reaction. |
| 484 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Arcane}}'': Caitlyn. As Vi puts it, "you're hot, cupcake". It takes very, very little effort for her to attract attention from anyone with a compatible orientation, which proves extremely useful when they need to investigate a [[DirtyHarriet brothel]]. |
| 485 | * [[Characters/DCAUPoisonIvy Poison Ivy]] in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' makes everyone in the restaurant look at her as she leaves in the [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE5PrettyPoison first episode she appears]]. |
| 486 | * Huntress in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold''. She apparently fits this trope so well, that Blue Beetle can't stop drooling over her, [[TooDumbToLive even in the middle of combat]]. However, anytime he sees her in danger, it stirs him [[HeroicResolve back into action]]. |
| 487 | * WesternAnimation/BettyBoop got this reaction in most of her cartoons before the Hays Code kicked in. |
| 488 | * Gadget Hackwrench in ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' is a dorky GadgeteerGenius ActionGirl who is stunning with her beauty, although she rarely seems aware of that with her obsession with her [[TheEngineer engineering pursuits]]. |
| 489 | * Nazz from ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' invokes this reaction from almost every male character. Often there is a time when the guys are fighting over her or bending over backwards to impress her, especially Eddy and Kevin (although it's implied that she and the latter ended up being an OfficialCouple). Aside from her beauty and usually upbeat personality, she may have been the most viable candidate for male attention due to the other choices are [[BrattyHalfPint Sarah]] and [[TerribleTrio the Kanker Sisters.]] |
| 490 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'': |
| 491 | ** The Tooth fairy. She's so attractive, even Cosmo drools over her. |
| 492 | ** Trixie, although Timmy's the only one in the show who seems attracted to her. |
| 493 | ** Subverted with Princess Mandie. Despite her beauty, Mark and his people actually think that she's ugly. |
| 494 | * ''WesternAnimation/IAmWeasel'': Loulabelle, Weasel's assistant, who usually dresses as a nurse. Her debut was in the season 2 episode, "I.R. Mommy". |
| 495 | * Referenced in ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel'', when Principal Fakey says "Hello Nurse!" to his love interest, Nurse Bendy. |
| 496 | * One of the most famous animated examples is Red from ''WesternAnimation/RedHotRidingHood''. |
| 497 | ** ''Film/TheMask'' recreates the nightclub scene nearly in full, complete with ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' effects. This is appropriate, since it is a "live-action cartoon". |
| 498 | ** Red's Expie, Miss Vavoom from ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryKids'' that usually appears in Droopy's shorts is also inspired by her. No wonder she makes everyone who see her have a WildTake! |
| 499 | * In ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', Bebe gets this treatment for the episode "Bebe's Boobs Destroy Society". By the end of the episode, the boys realize they can't let breasts control them. |
| 500 | * [[TheSmurfettePrinciple Smurfette]] in ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981'', after her magical makeover in the cartoon show, elicits this response in her fellow Smurfs. And in a single-page comic book gag, she actually became a nurse. |
| 501 | * ''WesternAnimation/TrippingTheRift'': On one planet, T'Nuk (since the locals REALLY like legs, and she's got four of them, "and no gag reflex"). She also claims to be considered this among her own species. |
| 502 | * Emma Frost from ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen2009'' has this reaction upon her introduction. |
| 503 | * The title character from ''WesternAnimation/{{Stripperella}}''. Whenever she dances at the strip club where she works, the men watching go crazy with lust. And at one point, a guy sitting next to the stage actually catches on fire because she's so hot. In another episode, Stripperella is being interviewed on a talk show, and the hostess repeatedly talks about how hot Striperella is and [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer hints that she wants to have sex with her.]] |
| 504 | * Circe from the ''WesternAnimation/HerculesTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "Hercules and the Song Of Circe" gets this reaction when she walks by, every male falls for her as soon as he spots her even the narrator, and she gets a line of men competing for her affection, the main plot kicks in when Hercules and his rival Adonis compete for her after she dumps his friend Icarus. |
| 505 | * In ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', [[FusionDance Stevonnie]] elicits this reaction from [[EverybodyWantsTheHermaphrodite both Lars and Sadie]] during a night on the town and later gets invited to a rave by Sour Cream, who is flustered around them. Then there's the fact that Kevin attempts to flirt with Stevonnie at said rave. |
| 506 | * The ''Creator/WalterLantz'' character Miss X who appeared in the two shorts "Abou Ben Boogie" and "The Greatest Man In Siam" gets this reaction when she enters the scene, "The Greatest Man In Siam" has every man in Arabia competing to be her husband. |
| 507 | * Bubbles Blastoff from ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsons'' episode “To Tell The Truth” every worker at Spacely Sprockets stops what they’re doing to stare at her when she passes by, often resulting in them getting hurt. |
