* The ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' card [[http://magiccards.info/uh/en/3.html Bosom Buddy.]]

* PlayedWith and [[ImpliedTrope implied]] in ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'': In Chapter 3, Hajime wakes up to find that Mikan has fallen asleep on top of him, cradling his head dangerously close to her chest. When she wakes up, the two of them are both thoroughly embarrassed that it happened (twice, by the way). [[spoiler: This moment ends up being [[ChekhovsGun a pivotal piece of evidence]] that leads to Mikan being exposed as the murderer of Ibuki and Hiyoko, as Hajime remembering her elevated body temperature allows the class to correctly deduce that she has been infected with the Despair Disease (of which one of the symptoms is a fever).]]

** The manga adaptation of the game plays it straight, as the change in medium allows them to depict things in a larger number of panels as opposed to a singular image. In the expanded scene, the more Hajime tries to squirm out of Mikan’s grasp, the closer she cuddles him (as she’s so deep asleep she thinks it’s part of the dream she’s having) until the trope inevitably occurs.

While this trope is almost AlwaysFemale, there does exist [[SpearCounterpart a male variant]] where the {{Hunk}} draws someone into their pecs a tad too forcefully.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Hate}}'', Buddy takes his elderly dad to a strip joint and is shocked to find him with his head in a dancer's chest. Thinking he's passed out, Buddy rushes up to the stage to get him, but instead, he says to Buddy, "Can't you see I'm having the time of my life?"

* ''Literature/TheBeginningAfterTheEnd'': Happens to Arthur [[RuleOfThree thrice]], all courtesy of Angela Rose (bordering on AndCallHimGeorge territory). The first time is when he first meets the Twin Horns as a boy as part of her EstablishingCharacterMoment (only being stopped by Durden taking him away from her). The second time is when he sees the Twin Horns again a few years later after reuniting with his family (again having to be stopped by Durden). The third time is when he returns from Elenoir after his ClassTrip to Widow's Crypt (much to his LoveInterest Tessia's chagrin as she's right next to him when it happens again, and afterwards Angela promptly does the same to her as well).

* Astonishingly, ComicBook/PowerGirl herself is nearly on the receiving end of one of these during a [[spoiler:supervillain-induced]] hallucination.
* In ''Hate'', Buddy takes his elderly dad to a strip joint and is shocked to find him with his head in a dancer's chest. Thinking he's passed out, Buddy rushes up to the stage to get him, but instead, he says to Buddy, "Can't you see I'm having the time of my life?"
* In 2011's ''ComicBook/HackSlash'' #4, Cassie does this to Vlad to get him to snap out of his slasher-induced altered state of mind.

* ''ComicBook/DangerGirl'': In "The Chase", Valerie complains about Sydney's large breasts pushing up against her while they and Sonya are in a cramped van.

[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
* Disney had actually used this long before: in ''WesternAnimation/EducationForDeath'', '''UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler''' gets a taste of Princess Germany's Marshmallow Hell.

* In ''Anime/LittleNemoAdventuresInSlumberland'' (a children's movie musical which was, nevertheless, made in Japan), Nemo gets smushed between a dance instructor's enormous breasts several times ("Not '''again'''!") during [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF3kufntdVA a sequence about learning to be a prince.]]

* At the end of ''Anime/CastleInTheSky'', Ma Dola catches Sheeta in a big hug to comfort her over the loss of her pigtails. Sheeta's more upset about getting poked in the eye by stolen jewelry (in VictoriasSecretCompartment) than she is about getting smothered in a middle-aged woman's bosom.
* Happens twice to Miguel in ''WesternAnimation/{{Coco}}''. In the living world, Abuelita Elena subjects in to it. In the Land of the Dead, it's Tia Rosita.

* Parodied in ''Literature/WyrdSisters''. After the fool [[spoiler:is stabbed... with a fake stage knife]], he ends up in Magrat's bosom, such that it is. There was some interesting dialog as they end up actually arguing about whether or not he's dead since, on the one hand, he thinks he's in heaven because there's boobs in his face, and on the other hand, dead people don't need to breathe.
** Implied to have occurred in ''Literature/GuardsGuards'' with Sybil and the young man who's temporarily king of Ankh-Morpork. She's quite tall and curvy, so this is probably something she often has to be careful about.
--->She'd even danced with the, for want of a better word, new king, who had said some polite words to her although they had been rather muffled.

* Poetically implied in the Literature/SongOfSongs 1:13:

* In ''Theatre/{{Spamalot}}'', the Lady of the Lake, usually played by a BigBeautifulWoman, does this to Galahad in their shared introductory song, right before taking him off-stage and making him a man.

OneHeadTaller, with quite a few more inches up front.

Usually found within anime or manga, also known as ぱふぱふ/pafu-pafu, a short male character gets his head sandwiched right in between the boobs of a comparatively taller female character, and once that happens to him, he gets a cleavage cushion, a push-up pillow, a rack resting place, a maternal muffler, well, you get the picture by this point, so...

* Rule34 artists ''loves'' this trope so much they wouldn't hesitate draw a character doing this to ''you'', the viewer.

See also FunbagAirbag and ThanksForTheMammary for accidental collisions of the type. Not to be confused with MarshmallowDream. (However, it's only a matter of time before [[RuleThirtyFour they're mixed into one trope]].) Compare CryIntoChest and CooldownHug. Contrast TorpedoTits, where the individual is deliberately attacking with breast-mounted weaponry.

* The poor boy is quite literally being smothered within the process, as the girl is ''really'' [[GagBoobs well-endowed]].

* This sometimes is used as a tactic by female players in ''LARP/HumansVsZombies'' in order to either score a silent infection against a human or in order to silently kill a zombie.

* OlderThanTelevision: ''Literature/TheTurnOfTheScrew'' by Henry James ends with [[spoiler:the governess smothering her ward to death in her bosom in order to protect him from ghosts.]]
* Parodied in ''Literature/WyrdSisters''. After the fool [[spoiler:is stabbed... with a fake stage knife]], he ends up in Magrat's bosom, such that it is. There was some interesting dialog as they end up actually arguing about whether or not he's dead since, on the one hand, he thinks he's in heaven because there's boobs in his face, and on the other hand, dead people don't need to breathe.

* This happens in the novel ''Literature/ColdMountain'' when Inman and Veasey are staying with a man and his several wives and offspring. One of the women, named Lila, does this to him because she wants to have sex with him. Fortunately, although they are (involuntarily, in Inman's case) married, it doesn't happen.
* ''{{Literature/Flashman}}'': ''Flashman in the Great Game''. This happens to Flashman after he's rescued from torture by an Indian queen. Unfortunately for the permanently-randy AntiHero, his hands are tied.

* ''Literature/ChakonaSpace'': During a FoodFight, Captain Foster tries to perform a tickle attack against one of his female Rakshani marines. She's smart enough to knock his arms out from under him, plunging his face between her chocolate cream pie coated breasts.
-->'''Neal''': "What a way to go."
* In one of the ''Literature/LeoKessler'' novels, Sgt Schulze is talking to a BigBeautifulWoman when a shell goes off nearby, and his fellow soldiers look on in envy as he faceplants into her bosom.

Usually found within anime or manga, a short male character gets his head sandwiched right in between the boobs of a comparatively taller female character, and once that happens to him, he gets a cleavage cushion, a push-up pillow, a rack resting place, a maternal muffler, well, you get the picture by this point, so...

* At ''AIW The End of the World'', December 21, 2012, [[https://www.cagematch.net//?id=5&nr=1135 AIW Women's Champion]] Wrestling/AllysinKay [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-gVxXuuIsE defended]] the title against male wrestler Kobald. She actually gave him this at one point. The distinct [[ShesGotLegs height difference]] helped.
