History Main / CheekCopy

* Gru's Minions are seen doing this to amuse themselves in one scene from ''DespicableMe''.

** Not to mention that many copy machines are going digital and have a memory of the last X copies made (where the number X depends on the amount of storage available and the size of the copies). Do you really want the whole office/school to be derisively laughing at your stupidity?
* The Mega Book of Useless Information says: "Over 23% of all photocopier faults worldwide are caused by people sitting on them and photocopying their bottoms."
** Unfortunately, that's a lie.

* ''Film/TheSpirit'': Sand prints a copy of her rear, The Spirit retrieves it, immediately knowing that it's her "perfect ass". Considering the last time he saw her was when she was 12, that's particularly {{squick}}y.
** And then he shows it to every bellboy at every swanky hotel in Central City to find where she's staying. [[spoiler:A few complimentary comments later, it works. The one that recognizes it, incidentally? A midget.]]

** [[HilariousInHindsight Hold on a sec]]. [[ShockSite A picture of a butt grabbed by a man's hands with a ring on one finger?]]

DontTryThisAtHome, kids. See TruthInTelevision below to find out why.

* An episode of ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' has an interesting example when Hiro attempts to prevent the suicide of a co-worker incited by a HumiliationConga started by, you guessed it, drunkenly photocopying his butt during an office party. We never see Hiro actually prevent it, however, since [[YouCantFightFate history refuses to change]] and the co-worker ''somehow'' finds ways to embarrass himself by doing the same thing at a different time (Hiro's friend Ando even refers to the poor sap as "The guy with the famous butt.") After ''about 47 failed attempts'', Hiro just gives in and manages to talk the guy out of it.

* An episode of Brazilian sitcom ''Os Normais'' has a woman photocopying her butt and sending to an executive, claiming it's her curriculum (she gets hired, of course, and becomes his mistress). Later the executive's wife and the show's protagonist have a discussion involving how the butt is altered in said pictures (including the woman sitting on a glass table!).

* [[IrregularWebcomic Irregular Webcomic]] does this with a butt that's [[http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/342.html somewhat more bare than usual]]...

* TheAnnoyingOrange: Done by Midget Apple in ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAmKx7e_dzI Wishful Thinking]]''. But considering what he is, it just looks like a circle.

* In an episode of ''MadeInCanada'', one of the grips makes a Cheek Copy during a wrap party.

* On ''BoyMeetsWorld'' when Shawn and Cory are working in an office mailroom Shawn starts to do this before Cory stops him.

** One episode featured Bart being caught between doing an assignment, and being tempted to take advantage of the free copies on the machine at the library by doing a CheekCopy. He prays for guidance, and [[CrowningMomentOfFunny his shorts fall down]]. Naturally, he runs into the copy room, and the next thing the audience sees is the green glow of the copy machine.

** In the ''Treehouse of Horror'' story where the world plunges into the technological apocalypse that was thought to have happened because of the Y2K virus (thanks to Homer not updating the computers at the nuclear plant), Nelson breaks into school to photocopy his butt. Unfortunately, he does this while the machines begin to go haywire, and Nelson gets sucked into the machine.

* One of the items you can collect for your clan's lounge in ''KingdomOfLoathing'' is a fax machine, which can be used to copy and distribute photocopied monsters to other players. If you use a photocopier out of combat, however, the monster you make a copy of is [[http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Your_butt your butt]] (which can then be played in a fax machine like any other monster).

* There is actually a sign in many high school copy rooms specifically telling students not to photocopy their butts. The hilarious part is that the reason they give is because [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking it wastes toner]].
** For the ultimate office prank, make enough copies that you can tape them end to end (so to speak) in a chain that you can then feed into a fax machine, closing the loop as it feeds: enter the fax number for someone you don't like, and you've just sent them an ''infinite series of butts''. Or at least, wasted all ''their'' toner. You'll need about half-a-dozen copies to pull this off successfully without complications.

* A puzzle in ''{{McPixel}}'' has doing this as an incorrect solution.

* An episode of ''{{TLC}}'' had a patient who had photocopied her butt, and broken the glass. Her only response (holding up the photocopy) "Does my bum look big in this?"

* An episode of ''MarriedWithChildren'' showed Marcy drunkenly photocopying her butt at an office Christmas party.

* As with pretty much every juvenile prank imaginable, this shows up in ''{{Beavis And Butt-Head}}''.

* ''[[HeyArnold!]]'' shows one episode where the rather immature Harold Bergman is copying his butt (pants down and all) at the library (while Arnold is actually doing research on school rules) They are later seen running out of the library as the angry librarian is yelling''[[GetOut "Never come back again!"]]''

* In ''PajamaSam: Thunder and Lighting Aren't So Frightening", Sam can attempt this in George Someone's office (without removing his pants, thankfully). The paper, however, comes out blank.

* As quoted above, Music/WeirdAlYankovic's "Your Horoscope For Today" offers Leos the following advice: "Now is not a good time to photocopy your butt and staple it to your boss's face, oh no!" Which rather begs the question of whether there ''is'' a good time to do so.
