History Main / CheekCopy

* Played for BodyHorror in an anthology of short stories (I believe by Bruce Coville). Two young boys are taken to their father's work and decide to do this with their brand new copy machines. The each make 100 copies of their butt and face respectively, in that order. The first one notices his runs out of toner near the end, as his crack is completely gone at the end. He thinks nothing of it until the second finishes his face and comes up with his facial features removed. It's described as like the surface of an egg, with a lipless mouth, two nostrils, and no eyebrows or eyelashes. It's then that he checks his bottom, and realizes his crack is sealed over. It's also then he realizes he [[PottyEmergency needs to use the bathroom]].

--> '''Michael:''' This is not a ''[[GettingCrapPastTheRadar Volvo]]''.

* ''WesternAnimation/OhNoItsAnAlienInvasion'': In one episode, the kids attempt to set a new world record for doing this, only to be beaten by the aliens who have a photocopier that produces its own paper.

DontTryThisAtHome, kids. See "Real Life" below to find out why. {{Mooning}} is this trope's more direct cousin, with the advantage of this trope being that it can be done both in advance and not in range of retaliation by the victim.

* The Off Panel strip from issue #81 ''ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog'' had the editor get chewed out over copier misuse and confronts Sonic about it. When Sonic asks why he's being yelled at, the editor shows him the copy in question that clearly has Sonic's spines to it.

* ''[[WesternAnimation/OhNoItsAnAlienInvasion Oh No, It's an Alien Invasion!]]'': In one episode the kids attempt to set a new world record for doing this, only to be beaten by the aliens who have a photocopier that produces its own paper.

** The most obvious is that you're putting some [[GroinAttack highly sensitive body parts]] on top of fragile glass, beneath which are moving metal parts and electrical wiring. People can -- and do -- fall through the glass (like the guy in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn3Xq7rRSUQ this viral security camera footage]]). One study reported that approximately 15% of major copier repairs are the result of people attempting this trope.

* A variant appears in ''WesternAnimation/TamagotchiVideoAdventures''. Tarakotchi and Zattchi demonstrate how to work the photo copier they've chosen to be Tamagotchi Museum's Earth exhibit by using it to copy Cosmotchi's face onto Tarakotchi's belly. Tarakotchi somehow gets the copied face to ''whistle''.-->'''Cosmotchi:''' Not my best side... but I like it!

** Shot for Shot {{Remake}} for a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEJk9E60Xmo Western Office Supplier.]] But do note that this is a commercial for printing paper. The lady in this version climbs on top of the machine because the paper tray is empty...

* ''VideoGame/YuppiePsycho'': The copier on the 5th floor lets you copy important work-related documents, but Mr. Hugo finds it way more fun to use it to make copies of his butt.

* In ''WebOriginal/JakeAndAmir'', Amir tries this, only for the glass to shatter, sending shards into his butt. Amir continues with the prank anyway, in spite of the protests of a beleaguered Jake.

* ''Oh No, It's an Alien Invasion!'': In one episode the kids attempt to set a new world record for doing this, only to be beaten by the aliens who have a photocopier that produces its own paper.

* A variant prank is to make enough photocopies of your butt that you can tape them end to end (so to speak) in a chain. Feed the chain into a scroll-fed fax machine, enter the fax number of someone you don't like, and when one end comes out, tape it to the other end. You are now sending an infinite series of butts to the other end (or at least wasted all their toner). Try not to do this at an office building, though, where they'll discover your prank through the exorbitant phone bill you've racked up in the process. Even if you do this at home, 1. Most fax machines also have caller ID circuitry built right in and will print your number and other condemning messages on the top of the page, [[IncrediblyLamePun fingering]] you as the culprit, and 2. Hope you don't mind the incredibly exorbitant phone bill you'Re going to rack up pulling off this prank, particularly if the recipient is out of state (or worse, in a different country).

** Re-used wholesale for the UK launch of the product, with a locally-relevant box comped in.

* The first issue of ''Magazine/{{Mad}}'' to feature its current HotterAndSexier format had [[http://madcoversite.com/mad356printid.jpg this]] lovely cover.

** 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 Cheek Copy. He prays for guidance, and [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments 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.

* On ''Series/TheJoeSchmoShow'', Kip only wanted pictures of positivity in his photo album, not pictures of negativity. So, naturally, Hutch, "TheAsshole," absconded with it and filled it with photos of his buttocks.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'', two of Lord Business' mooks do this on a copier. Said copier is a transformed [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Captain Metalbeard]], who promptly transforms back, trashes them, then explains that one of the rules of being a pirate is that nobody is allowed to put their butt on a pirate's face.

** [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking It wastes toner]]. Hey, high schools [[SkewedPriorities aren't made of money]].
** It can get you fired. Or, if not fired, at least demoted or suspended without pay, or forced to attend SensitivityTraining, or could get your pay docked.
