History Main / Mooning

* ''Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies'': The premiere episode "We're Gonns Rule the School" has Nancy, Jane, Olivia and Cynthia mooning everyone during an assembly.

-->-- ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'', "A Ward Show"

* In Literature/TheBible of all places: Exodus 33:23 implies ''God'' moons Moses (the exact words are "And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts") Some translations just say he shows Moses his bare back though.

* In ''Film/{{Crocodile}}'' Annabelle, played by Julie Mintz, pulls down her shorts to do a drive by mooning from the back of a jeep.

** Also, in a HalloweenEpisode, the Wolfman is supposed to fight FrankensteinsMonster, but due to Daylight Savings Time, the full moon hasn't risen yet and he's still human. The problem is solved when a fan moons him. (Maybe the writers of the episode were fans of ''Magazine/{{Mad}}''.)

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/CraigOfTheCreek'', Craig, while exploring the city with his cousin, is shown the house of a boy named Lucas, who his cousin describes as "wild". Lucas shows at the window and proceeds to moon them, [[DiscretionShot though the audience doesn't see it]] and later shows up a couple scenes later and does the same, though the scene ends before we see anything.

* ''Webcomic/{{Unsounded}}'': Sette moons Jivi rather than greet him more kindly when she finds him in Litriya Shrine.

* In ''Film/WishYouWereHere'' when Lynda was repeatedly [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EmWyw0KLJk yelling "up ya bum"]] her neighbor asked what she was doing. She replied that she was just looking for a cat. The girl then bent down and lifted her nightshirt giving the grouchy woman an eyeful.

* ''[[Film/CaptainSabertooth Captain Sabertooth and the Lama Rama Treasure]]'' has one of the antagonistic pirate mooning the protagonists from the other ship. Incidentally, this scene made it into L first trailer.
* ''Film/BillyElliot''. A thief moons a pursuing police car. This would qualify as a [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment Big Lipped Alligator Moment]], were it not for this random moment enabling Billy to steal the crucial library book which teaches him to dance.

* In the Adam Sandler vehicle ''Film/YouDontMessWithTheZohan'' (2008), when Michael (Nick Swardson) arrives home from work, his first sight is the beefy bare backside of his mother, whose skirt is in disarray while she makes out with Sandler's titular lodger. The lady appears to be played in this scene by a double, and not principal actress Lainie Kazan.

* In M. Night Shyamalan's ''Film/TheVisit'' (2015), Nana gets overly excited while playing hide and seek with her grandchildren in the eave under the house. Her long skirt gets disarrayed in the process, causing her to walk away toward the horizon with one ass cheek showing. Later in the movie, a security camera catches her sleepwalking nude. The most reliable reports indicate that these shots used stunt doubles rather than principal actress Deanna Dunagan, who was 75 at the time.
* In ''Film/OnlyTheBrave'', on the way to a fire, the guys fool around on the bus, and at one point one of them moons everyone.

* ''Film/BillyElliott''. A thief moons a pursuing police car. This would qualify as a [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment Big Lipped Alligator Moment]], were it not for this random moment enabling Billy to steal the crucial library book which teaches him to dance.

Ah, yes, the time-honored tradition of pulling down one's pants and displaying one's buttocks. While the term "mooning" has been in the English language for [[OlderThanTheyThink over 400 years]], it wasn't until the late [[TheSixties 1960's]] that it gained its modern slang usage.

'''Principal Lewis:''' Showing you my butt. ...What? You thought those were ding-ding prices?! ''(laughs)'' Na-ah, nah, nah.

'''Lisa:''' [[OhNoNotAgain I'd like to believe that this time.]]

* In the third episode of ''Manga/MobPsycho100'', Mob remembers that when he was younger, one of his friends mooned everyone on the playground and everyone, save for him, laughed. It's a rare PlayedForDrama moment; the moment is used to highlight how Mob is forced to control his emotions because of his PsychicPowers and how it isolated him from other kids, especially his crush, Tsubomi.

** In "[[Recap/SouthParkS1E7Death Death]]", when the parents visit the network headquarters to protest the ToiletHumor in ''Terrance and Phillip'', the network executive delivers a brief, defiant statement followed by a mooning.

-->'''Ed''' Whoa! I am turning into a werewolf, Eddy!

** Hercule threatens to do this to Cell in the manga, but it is never shown. In the anime, he smacks his butt at Cell.
