* ''Webcomic/MSPaintAdventures'': [[https://web.archive.org/web/20081015043239/http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=4&p=000509 Pose as a team, because SHIT JUST GOT REAL.]]
* ''Webcomic/TheKamics'' with [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/The_KAMics/4810185/ this picture.]]

It is often used as a StockParody. Compare the SuperSentaiStance and BackToBackBadasses.

* This was one of the eyecatches of the anime series ''Manga/MiamiGuns''.

* [[http://dvd.es/data/docs/20050825095934/Neon_Genesis_Evangelion_001.jpg This apparently official Gainax piece of art]], for ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''.

* ''The Girls from Thunder Strip'' [[http://www.wrongsideoftheart.com/2010/03/the-girls-from-thunder-strip-1966-usa/ poster]]. Probably the only version with a [[HooksAndCrooks gaff hook]].

* It was done in at least one episode of ''Series/That70sShow'' which of course actually had Tanya Roberts who was one of the Angels on it.

* An episode of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' in May 2019 had a sketch called "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fz0mDWSb1nU Judge Court]]" featuring Emma Thompson, Aidy Bryant and Kate [=McKinnon=] as three judges who [[http://imgbox.com/krqIWNVf adopt the pose with their gavels.]]

* Music/TheSpiceGirls adopted the pose in one of their early [[http://www.imagebam.com/image/b5e2941341494774 photoshoots]].

* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy''

* The [[https://gbf.wiki/images/2/20/Dorothy_and_Claudia_A.png default art]] for ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'''s [[NinjaMaid battle-hardened maids]], Dorothy and Claudia, features them in a two-woman version of this pose. It changes to a shot of them alongside their master when upgraded enough.

* Used by Max the Robot Dog, Dr. Hawkins, and Kurt Hectic in the video game ''VideoGame/MDK2'', specifically on the cover of the manual. ''[=MDK2=]'' also has a version that must be seen to be believed. You can find it in [[http://www.replacementdocs.com/download.php?view.646 page 5 of the manual]]

* A mildly disturbing version in ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank'', with a trio of Blarg commandos.

* ''Webcomic/MSPaintAdventures'': [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=4&p=000509 Pose as a team, because SHIT JUST GOT REAL.]]

* ''M.Organ Art'' ({{NSFW}}) did it with the D.U.S.T. Bunnies.

* ''Webcomic/MagickChicks'' has Melissa and her coven [[http://www.magickchicks.com/strips-mc/glam_entrance starting their first day in the new school]] with the ''[[CallingYourAttacks Glam Entrance!]]'' And the next time they expected to be seen by the boys, a downright "weaponized" variant [[http://www.magickchicks.com/strips-mc/hipster_terrorists immediately occurs.]]

* Most any picture on the internet featuring multiple (non-model) girls with guns. Though, these usually feature all the chicks in the picture brandishing some sort of firearm.

* The opening title sequence of ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHeadDoAmerica'' parodies this and [[Film/{{Shaft}} every other]] [[Series/StarskyAndHutch 70's cop show]]. Beavis states in an interview that it's because the '70s are the last time Mike Judge got laid.

* Moka, Kokoa, and Rubi do it in ''Manga/RosarioToVampire''.

* ''Lego Star Wars Droid Tales'' has [[https://www.turboimagehost.com/p/35996097/lego-star-wars-battledroid-angel-pose.jpg.html this]] billboard on the battledroid factory planet.

* ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' had Sara Lance (Creator/CaityLotz), Ava Sharpe (Creator/JesMacallan), and Gideon (Amy Pemberton) pose for [[https://static3.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Legends-of-Tomorrow-Charlies-Angels.jpg this]] publicity pic. In the episode "Legends of To-Meow-Meow", they get a whole ''Angels'' pastiche title sequence in the AlternateTimeline where the male Legends all died and they became the Sirens of Spacetime.

* Kitana's arcade ladder ending in ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9''. Silhouettes and all.

In the episode "Legends of To-Meow-Meow", they get a whole ''Angels'' pastiche title sequence in the AlternateTimeline where the male Legends all died and they became the Sirens of Spacetime.

* Music/DestinysChild did this a lot when performing their smash hit "Independent Woman (Part I)". Makes sense, considering that it was the theme song for the ''Film/CharliesAngels'' film reboot in 2000, and they even strike the pose in the music video.

* At the end of most opening sequences of ''Manga/{{Gantz}}'', Kurono, Masaru and Kishimoto strike the AngelsPose.

* OAFE did this with {{Transformers}} in [[http://www.oafe.net/toons/quix/110622.php "Magnus's Angels."]]

* ''Film/CharliesAngels'' [[https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/07/15/07/425BD40100000578-0-Independent_Women_The_dynamic_duo_starred_alongside_Lucy_Liu_in_-m-54_1500100107162.jpg obviously had one]], though without the guns.

[[caption-width-right:350:The originators of this very trope.]]

* One of the {{Title Sequence}}s for ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' has this, featuring Rukia, Orihime, and Rangiku. Actually played perfectly straight, without a hint of parody or humor.

* The opening title sequence of ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHeadDoAmerica'' parodies this and [[Film/{{Shaft}} every other]] [[Series/StarskyAndHutch 70's cop show]]. Butt-Head states in an interview that it's because the '70s are the last time Mike Judge got laid.

* Parodied by [[WhoWouldWantToWatchUs The Ember Island Players]] in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', as an homage to the fan term [[http://finni.deviantart.com/art/Avatar-Ozai-s-Angels-32165827 Ozai's Angels.]]
