Kilyle: Don't remember name of series, so perhaps it's already up there, but it was like a detective agency or the like, always running low on funds, and the female main character was always awoken by alarm clocks. In the dozens, maybe hundreds. Set by the young boy who tried to (a) balance the books and (b) see to it that she actually worked to bring in money. He always set the alarm clocks in a new manner; I recall specifically when he hung them from the ceiling. And sometimes he'd set one first, and the rest would go off half a minute later.
It's not like she was comatose, just that sleep appealed to her (I know the feeling). Does this fit this trope, or is there a different trope for this type of person, the "Ten More Minutes, Mommy" type who just flips off the clock (or, like Garfield, smashes it to pieces) and then goes back to sleep, sometimes for hours?
Looney Toons: Sounds like it might have been Phantom Quest Corp, one of the first wave of dubbed anime to come out from Pioneer back at the beginning of the 1990s. But I haven't seen it in years, so I can't recall whether or not it had a scene like that.
Air Of Mystery: Hee. Off topic here, but I was listening to Knights of Cydonia when I got to this page, and it looked like Nayuki was headbanging.
Radical Taoist: Not as bad as the reaction I had when I realized those were hands on her shoulders but misread her facial expression. I almost removed the image thinking "What the HELL kind of pervert put that on this page???" and am still slightly disturbed.
Rissa: Understanding the facial expression correctly just makes it worse.
EA: Is it too much to ask that we read articles before we add stuff? This is the second trope I've removed a double entry.
Fast Eddie: No animated images, please. Please see Administrative Policy.
