* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse'': During [[ComicBook/MilesMorales Miles]]'s meeting with [[ComicBook/SpiderMan2099 Miguel O'Hara]], Peter B. Parker from the first film shows up with his new daughter Mayday Parker. She then proceeds to crawl all over Miguel [[TheComicallySerious while he's trying his best to hold a serious conversation]], who [[PetTheDog immediately catches her without missing a beat]] when she falls off despite clearly being beyond annoyed with everyone's antics.

* ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' has the enormous Fudoh of the Mountains, an enormous slab of a man who despite his impressive strength and former life as a bandit chief, is a GentleGiant and FriendToAllChildren, including adopting half a dozen orphans who all climb onto their new father and fall asleep in his arms and lap and hanging on his back, knowing that they are perfectly safe because he won't let them come to harm. Those few foolish and cruel enough to try and hurt his kids have tried have been crushed into paste. Literally.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}}'': When Pocahontas' father Powhatan is talking about how Kocoum would be a good husband for her, she comments, "But he's so...serious." As she says this, she looks at Kocoum having absolutely no reaction to a bunch of children climbing all over him.

* ''Literature/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime'': The spin-off work ''The Slime Diaries'' has Rimuru visiting Geld II, the orc in charge of Tempest's construction efforts, and finding at least seven tiny goblin children climbing all over him, since they like to play with him when he takes breaks from his work. It is ridiculously adorable.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}}'': When Pocahontas' father Powhatan is talking about how Kocoum is a good marriage prospect for her, she comments, "But he's so...serious." As she says this, she looks at Kocoum having absolutely no reaction to a bunch of children climbing all over him.

It also shows the Jungle Gym character is brimming with patience and stamina. If they are TheBigGuy or BigFun it demonstrates they have the strength to carry several children easily. Can also illustrate that ChildrenAreInnocent, as they trust this character to support them and think little of any social taboo against climbing on others. Adults may be afraid of the HorrifyingHero, but their kids think he looks fun. If the character is an antagonist, they may be a HeroAntagonist of the NobleDemon or AffablyEvil variety.

* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'': When Gru first goes to adopt Margo, Edith and Agnes, Agnes is so excited she grabs ahold of Gru's leg and won't let go. He shakes his leg, tries to pull her off, and even asks the adoption lady if she has some pliers or spray to remove her. All the while, Agnes is giggling away and Gru ends up limping out the door with her still hanging on and dangling upside down, much to her sisters' embarrassment.
