Of course, by observation, the focus on jiggling has shifted to the buttocks through the popularization of "twerking".

-->-- '''Chandler''' about ''Series/{{Baywatch}}'', ''Series/{{Friends}}''

* The anime adaptation of ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDxD'' shamelessly flaunts the amount of {{Gainaxing}} going on, having on-screen breasts not only bounce everywhere but make sound effects, and even adding whole new {{Filler}} material that wasn't on the novels for the sake of more FanService (most notably having the girls lose their clothes mid-battle just to show their boobs even more). The main character even learns an ability that [[UpToEleven lets him hear what breasts are "saying"]]. An English voice-actress also said that the breasts making noises was the hardest part of the show to get used to.

* The original ''Series/TheDukesOfHazzard'' was often called a jiggle show, even though the main female character Daisy Duke usually wore a bra and didn't even show much cleavage. The show did have rather a lot of FanService (including Daisy's eponymous [[WhoWearsShortShorts shorts]]), though, especially for a family-friendly show.

* In the animated adaptation of of the Swiss comic ''ComicBook/{{Titeuf}}'', the titular schoolboys are entranced by their school nurse, the one nicknamed ''Double-Airbags'', and the way she moves. For a children's animation, this is perhaps something to be considered as Fanservice for any watching fathers.

* Early 1979 saw ''three'' knock-offs from ''Film/AnimalHouse'' that took the trope to the extreme: CBS' ''Series/CoEdFever'', ABC's ''Brothers and Sisters'' (not to be confused with the much later ''Series/BrothersAndSisters''), and NBC's ''Series/DeltaHouse''. All of them faced severe censorship troubles before airing and three of them were canned after a few weeks (''Co-Ed'' was cancelled after one episode).

* ''Film/AngelsRevenge'', a movie about women fight a 1970s drug cartel.

* ''Film/WrongfullyAccused'' parodied the ''Series/{{Baywatch}}'' version.

* TropeCodifier: ''Series/{{Baywatch}}'' had slow-motion shots of running women in bikinis.

In 1975, über-producer Creator/AaronSpelling came up with an outrageous idea -- a TV show about three female detectives who run around without bras. Back then, women rarely had leading roles in hour-long series, and even though many women did run around without bras, they certainly did not do so on TV. ''Series/CharliesAngels'' changed all that, introducing a spellbound nation to the Jiggle Show, a genre that featured shows with a whole lot of women running in slow-motion. Or at least [[{{Gainaxing}} running without bras]]. Some of them even had plots and stuff.[[note]]Somewhat ironically, the canonical example, ''Charlie's Angels'', did have quite a lot of plot and could have stood alone even without the fanservice[[/note]] Sorta.

* TropeMaker: ''Series/CharliesAngels''. The show made [[FanService a point]] of having the heroines run and jump without bras.

* Scientists (and programmers) have created the [[http://www.shockabsorbersport.co.nz/wawcs0141481/bounce-o-meter.html simulator]] (NSFW) to illustrate how well their firm's sports-bra works. The web page gets lots of hits, not necessarily from women looking to buy the product.

** ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' once brought the point home in the ''Battle of the Networks T's and A's'' sketch.

While in the 1980s, audiences soured on the concept and bras came back into fashion, the use of sexy women to sell a show never truly went out of style, as demonstrated by ''Married... With Children''. In the 1990s, ''Series/{{Baywatch}}'', which combined women and SlowMotion, launched a wave of syndicated "jiggle" action shows, while the Fox network became known for its raunchiness during the 2000s.
