History Main / ShakingTheRump

* Wrestling/{{WWE}}: This is one of Wrestling/EveTorres' signature moves. She pops her butt up and down in a squatted position right before performing a moonsault on her opponent. In ''[[VideoGame/WWEVideoGames WWE '13]]'', this is called the "Booty Popping Moonsault".

* In WWE Taboo Tuesday 2004, Wrestling/TrishStratus does this cockily after retaining the Women's Championship in the Fulfill Your Fantasy Battle Royal.
* The reason Pitbull's ''Culo'' and Shakira's ''My Hips Don't Lie'' used to be used during Wrestling/BlackRose's entrances; she always does this.
* Wrestling/{{Rikishi}} did this frequently. This is the first of many reasons why his FaceHeelTurn was an utter failure. Its hard for people to buy you as a "bad man" when even your titan tron clips feature your ass prominently.

* This has become a sort of signature trait for [[WarioLand Wario]], who will often shake or slap his butt as a taunt or victory pose. One of his taunts in SuperSmashBros has him mockingly shaking his rump at the camera.

* In ''The Eiger Sanction'', Clint Eastwood's character turns down sexual bribery from a student worried about her grade, telling her to "go home and study your ass off" instead. As she walks off in a snit we get a MaleGaze look at her rear, causing Clint to say, "Don't study it all off."

** Cordelia is jealous of the way Xander is obsessed with Buffy. Xander says he's just watching Buffy's back. Cordelia snips, "Fine, watch my back" and walks off. Xander obediently checks out her behind.

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. Averted by Harmony when she breaks up with Spike, saying that the only thing Spike will see of her from now on is her ass walking away -- unwilling to give him even that pleasant sight, she decides to back away instead.

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'':
** Jynx's Pokedex entry says it wiggles its hips seductively and sometimes induces people to dance.

* King Julien in ''WesternAnimation/{{Madagascar}}'' and its spin-off cartoon, ''WesternAnimation/PenguinsOfMadagascar'' shakes his "royal booty" a lot.

* This will surely pop up in many GenreMotif/HipHop music videos if it focuses on [[StuffyOldSongsAboutTheButtocks that certain body part]].

* During her entrances, Wrestling/BlackRose always does this, to the annoyance of Mia Yim, Sienna Duvall and Sojourner Bolt.

* The phrase "There's nothing wrong with showing off if you can back it up." [[StealthPun took on new meaning]] thanks to Wrestling/DolphZiggler's gyration.

* From ''Manga/SoulEater'', Kim does this in order to turn it into a portal to another world in Chapter 98, using the motion of her butt to spell out the kana for the word "Majou" (witch).

* The ''WebAnimation/NeuroticallyYours'' episode "The Jiggly Butt" has Germaine shaking her butt, watching it jiggle to see if she gained weight and she does it again happily after Foamy encouraged her to be proud of being a FatBastard. Foamy soon regrets this and wonders [[WhoWritesThisCrap who wrote this episode]].

* Wrestling/{{TNA}}'s Velvet Sky always does it in her entrances, especially between the apron. As Wrestling/{{Taz|z}} would say "Let the pigeons loose!" When entering the ring during WWC Anniversario, Wrestling/{{Melina}} Perez mimed smelly something terrible, which caused Velvet to go back to the second rope and keep shaking her rump over it until Melina spanked her.
