* ''VideoGame/{{Painkiller}}'' has the Guardian. If the player fails to jump when the boss [[DropTheHammer slams the ground]], he will take damage and be catapulted into the air, and then take more damage from the resulting fall damage.

Compare BadVibrations.

* This often happens in ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' whenever [[HugeSchoolgirl Pearl]] comes running in. In "Talent Show", Pearl's cheerleading routine sends the whole crowd flying every time she jumps.

* In ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'', if Mario or Luigi is stunned by a GroundPound from a Sledge Bro or from some of the Koopalings, they'll bounce up and down in place for a few moments. After defeating Bowser, the resulting impact from down below will also bounce Mario or Luigi high into the air if they're standing on the ground.

* Mowgli and Bagheera during the Elephant Patrol's introductory scene in ''Disney/TheJungleBook''.
* At one point in ''Disney/TheGreatMouseDetective'', [[TheDragon Fidget]] kidnaps Olivia and imprisons her inside a glass bottle. Later, [[spoiler:when Basil and Dawson escape Ratigan's DeathTrap, a giant anvil that was part of said DeathTrap comes crashing down, the impact of which bounces Olivia's bottle into the air and actually freeing her from inside]].

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' cartoon "Solid Serenade", the vibrations of Tom's bass shake Jerry out of bed.

* The former ride, ''Ride/TheFuntasticWorldOfHannaBarbera'', had this occur in the ''Flintstones'' scene, when a fire-rescue elephant slips into the air and makes the entire town bounce up when it crashes back to the ground.

* ''VideoGame/MegaManV'' on the GameBoy had {{Uranus|IsShowing}}, who shook the ground violently with every jump. While it did not outright knock Mega Man over, like Guts Man's quakes did, it did make him bounce up and down slightly, which interrupts him out of sliding, or the usage of Break Dash, [[ElementalRockPaperScissors which Uranus is weak to]].

When an earthquake usually hits, it tends to [[CaptainObvious shake things up a bit]]. Sometimes however, the ground can shake violently up and down. And when that happens, characters are bounced about, usually about a foot into the air.

* In ''Videogame/TheKingOfFighters'', Goro Daimon's special move "Jiraishin" has him palm-striking the ground with both hands, causing a small quake. It just knocks grounded foes off their feet normally, but in later games, the EX version of it actually launches the foe up, open for being juggled. And then there's one of his strongest {{Limit Breaks}}, Kyouten Douchi, which is similar but more powerful that it [[CraterPower outright makes craters]].

[[folder:Newspaper Comics]]
* One comic strip of ''{{ComicStrip/Garfield}}'' shows Garfield bouncing up and down on some unknown surface, this surface waving and bending like it was gelatin. Garfield then identifies it as a hardwood floor when Jon shows up.

* This often happens in ''WesternAnimation/{{SpongeBob SquarePants}}'' whenever [[HugeSchoolgirl Pearl]] comes running in. In "Talent Show", Pearl's cheerleading routine sends the whole crowd flying every time she jumps.

* In ''Disney/SongOfTheSouth'', Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Fox, and Br'er Bear get in a BigBallOfViolence, out of which Br'er Rabbit escapes while Bear pounds on Fox, thinking it's Rabbit. Every time Bear pounds Fox the ground shakes, which slows Rabbit's escape briefly.
* Mowgli and Bagheera during the Elephant Patrol's introductory scene in ''Disney/TheJungleBook''.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': "Applebuck Season" - A stampede bounces Pinkie Pie up and down, and she cheerfully comments how it makes her voice sound silly.

* At one point in ''Disney/TheGreatMouseDetective'', [[TheDragon Fidget]] kidnaps Olivia and imprisons her inside a glass bottle. Later, [[spoiler:when Basil and Dawson escape Ratigan's DeathTrap, a giant anvil that was part of said DeathTrap comes crashing down, the impact of which bounces Olivia's bottle into the air and actually freeing her from inside]].

** In WarioLand Shake It, bosses cause this when they slam into the ground. In fact, to beat some of the missions you have to avoid being on the ground when it shakes since otherwise Wario will fly up and get knocked out for a second.

* This often happens in ''WesternAnimation/{{SpongeBob SquarePants}}'' whenever [[HugeSchoolgirl Pearl]] comes running in. In "Talent Show", Pearl's cheerleading routine sends the whole crowd flying every time she jumped.

* ''{{Painkiller}}'' has the Guardian. If the player fails to jump when the boss [[DropTheHammer slams the ground]], he will take damage and be catapulted into the air, and then take more damage from the resulting fall damage.

* ''Videogame/DonkeyKongCountry'' 2 has the boss of the marsh map, a giant antropomorphic crocodile that moves through the arena by jumping. If your current kong is on the ground when the boss lands, he or she will be stunned for a few seconds, rapidly shaking up and down in place. At first, the stun isn't enough for you to take damage (as the boss just isn't quick enough to hit you during its duration), so it [[{{Antepiece}} serves as a warning about what's to come when he speeds up]].
* Can be invoked in ''VideoGame/{{LittleBigPlanet}}'' by attaching the structure of an entire level to a piston that moves up and down fast enough to make everything bounce.
