Gratuitous display of female characters in skimpy clothing, or none at all, under the assumption that it will attract or "reward" straight male viewers. (There is occasionally fanservice for straight female and gay male viewers, [[MostWritersAreMale but it's not nearly as common]].) This is not just a fan term, but one used during the production of, and even in the dialogue of, various shows. For example, the end-of-episode previews during the early part of ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'' frequently promise "more fanservice" (although it never seems to deliver [[NeverTrustATrailer quite as much as it promises]]).

While the specific term "fanservice" arose from the Anime community, the concept of adding a little titillation to a work is far, far older (at least as old as the Roman Empire, making this OlderThanDirt). When nudity or sexual content is an expected part of a work, it's not {{Fanservice}}; it's only when the nudity or sex is thrown in "just because" that {{Fanservice}} becomes a part of the narrative. For example, nudity in a pornographic movie would not qualify, while Sharon Stone's infamous "beaver shot" in Paul Verhoeven's ''BasicInstinct'' would. Real {{Fanservice}} is seldom explicit or graphic -- that is the territory of pornography. Instead it is primarily there to "add a little extra" by teasing and titillating the (usually male) audience.

"Fanservice" is sometimes used in a more general way, to mean adding things to a show that don't need to be there, but nonetheless please the viewers. When this is something non-sexual, like needlessly flashy attacks in a HumongousMecha show, it's PanderingToTheBase. Sexy fanservice is considered the default form, because it is everywhere, and it's easy to add to any kind of show.

Some shows may have [[MsFanservice designated fanservice characters]]; characters who, even if they are main characters and/or otherwise complex (as in, they have a role beyond fanservice), can always be found in a fanservice situation. Some shows, especially American shows, have characters for both male and female fanservice. Exactly how much fanservice makes its way into a series can depend on what channel a show is broadcast, but with the advent of series on DVD, this can be subverted with liberal application of CensorSteam. More literally, fanservice also consists of things designed to please longtime dedicated fans: {{Shout Out}}s, {{Omake}}, in-jokes, etc. {{Moe}} is also a kind of fanservice.

While some fanservice can increase the appeal of a show, [[ErectionRejection too much fanservice]] can become very distracting and in some cases, put viewers off completely, especially if the fanservice is directed towards the opposite sex.

Very hard to subvert or even [[LampshadeHanging lampshade hang]] -- the former is [[FanDisservice usually disturbing]] and the latter is well, just fanservice with a joke attached. You might as well have the person wearing nothing but a lampshade.

!!Examples

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* Mangaka GoNagai is the reason fanservice came to exist in the first place, first pushing the boundaries of eroticism in manga during the 70s with ''HarenchiGakuen'' (which is rather tame by todays standards). This made him very unpopular with PTAs and woman's associations at the time, which only succeeded in making him go BeyondTheImpossible in order to challenge what he viewed as an overly sensitive society.
* In ''AzumangaDaioh'', some LampshadeHanging when Yukari wears a bikini during the first summer break in the anime, saying "I'm going for a little more more fanservice this year. Check it out. Two times as much!" (Quoted from the English dub, but faithfully translated...)
** Going through the manga... there are more pictures of Sakaki in swimwear than probably necessary.
* Yoruichi's transformations in ''{{Bleach}}'' and the way she teases Ichigo are pure fanservice. Then we have Rangiku, who may as well be the AnthropomorphicPersonification of fanservice.
** Dear ''{{Bleach}}'', thank you for the bath scene when Rangiku stays with Orihime... And hugs and tickles and straddles her... While naked...
** And Halibel, who seems to get [[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/bleach/en/images/f/f0/Halibel_Revealed.jpg more]] [[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/bleach/en/images/b/ba/Tiburon.jpg naked]] and fanservice-y, with each boost in power. One can only hope that she has more transformations left.
* Hiro, TheChick in ''Wa ga na wa Umishi'' (a manga about a salvage company), seems to exist solely so she can make snarky comments and walk around in a bikini top / tank top all the time. Even when all the men around her are in overalls. Even in the middle of a typhoon!
* The anime ''BurnUp Excess'' was fanservice with a cop show added in.
* Inverted in ''BusouRenkin'', in which the [[AffablyEvil effeminate]] MagnificentBastard Papillon is often in a typical fanservice costume, nearly naked, or completely naked (complete with a FuroScene). Beautifully played with at one point, when Ouka sees him in a ''impossibly'' skimpy swimsuit via her Busou Renkin "Angel Gozen" -- Gozen ''falls apart'' from her shock.
* And of course, there's the [[MostCommonSuperpower rather well-endowed]] Kallen Stadtfeld, who commonly wears tight outfits and was featured in no less than two shower scenes. In a similar vein, the character C.C. often has her rear end displayed prominently and slightly exaggerated in official art, part of the reason some fans call her "Pizza Butt". Other female characters may also provide their share of fanservice on occasion.
** Ladies and Gentleman, I give you Adult Swim's [[http://www.adultswim.com/americaloveslists/cg_sexmoments/index.html Most]] Ridiculous Sex moments in ''Code Geass''. You all know what [[CargoShip #1 is]].
*** Shame that those videos can't be viewed outside of America.
* Faye Valentine from ''CowboyBebop'' is notable for being fanservice incarnate. But the manner in which she is drawn, and the manner in which she dresses, are so extreme that she brings Jessica Rabbit, from the film ''WhoFramedRogerRabbit'', immediately to mind.
** Particularly the episode "Ganymede Elegy", where she spends an entire scene wearing a (strapless) bikini and rubbing suntan lotion on herself.
* The eighth episode of ''ExcelSaga'', "Increase Ratings Week", was essentially concentrated fanservice. At one point, it features a fanservice {{montage}}, rapidly fulfilling every possible taste in fanservice: {{Lolicon}}, {{Meganekko}}, nurses, flight attendants...
* On ''FullmetalAlchemist'', Roy Mustang says that if he becomes Fuhrer, he'll make all the females in the State military wear tiny miniskirts (this, unfortunately, never happens). Winry's dress sense and her almost exclusive presence in one version of the ending credits in the first anime still come close to fanservice.
** In the manga (and, when they get there, most likely the new anime) Winry ''almost'' takes off her top in one instance and flashes some {{underboobs}}, and has a showy bathtub scene. Also, we get treated to Riza's plot-relevant [[spoiler: SexyBack]]. But, since [[AuthorAppeal the mangaka is a lady]], it's much more glaring how the heroes spend ridiculous amounts of time shirtless or in their underwear. Ed even engages in a lenghty conversation with Al [[CensorSteam while showering]]. In one of the videogames [[NoExportForYou only released in Japan]] he repeats this, ''with the GirlOfTheWeek CanonSue''. And, if we take Rule 36 into account, ''someone'' must be getting off on the scenes of both Ed and [[spoiler: Lan Fan]] mostly naked and without their prosthetic limbs attached.
* In ''GetBackers'', the entire basis of HEVN's character. Also, Himiko gets all her [[ClothingDamage clothes ripped off]] about five times per arc.
** When the Divine Design arc came around, the artist felt that HEVN alone wasn't busty enough to counteract the darker points of the story line, and so created Maria Noches, whose bust is bigger and clothes are even skimpier. And we'd be here all day if we tried to count all the half- and entirely naked women and panty shots in the Eternal Bond arc. Basically, if there's even the slightest opportunity for fanservice in this series, it ''will'' be taken.
* Through most of the ''GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex'' series, Major Motoko Kusanagi fights terrorism in high-tech catsuits, and spends her off hours in what resembles a bulletproof teddy and stockings.
** Ironically, this look is not entirely without precedent as it's in keeping with the first volume of the manga, and is also featured prominently in the Major's appearances in the cinematic portions of the PSX video game.
** Oddly enough, she seems to ditch the "cyberpunk prostitute" look entirely for the second season.
** During the ''GhostInTheShell'' movie, she had to undress herself in order to become invisible. Compare to the guys that put on a invisibility cloak above their clothes.
* Nami from ''OnePiece'' -- actually, just about any female character, especially as the series progresses. A recurring joke in the Fandom has to do with the fact that Nami's boobs seem to magically grow larger in each new story arc.
** Nami's known for not being body shy as well -- she doesn't seem to mind about guys seeing her naked, and on one occasion she even charged for it.
** Guys are used for fanservice too. In the end of the Alabasta arc they were shown naked during the bath scene, and in a much later arc Luffy was shown completely naked in front of tens of curious amazons (that had examined his ''mushroom'').
** Heck, the fandom commonly speculates that the reason for fanservice's growing presence in the story is because Oda's now married to a hot woman he's constantly horny for, but because he's become insatiable, drawing stuff as explicit as Shonen Jump will allow may be his only repose. (Well, aside from the obvious.)
* ''Girls Bravo'' is loaded with enough fanservice to make even the most prudish monk jump with joy.
* The manga version, at least, of ''MahouSenseiNegima'' has many bath scenes, as well as Negi's sneezing causing an uncontrollable magical wind that flips up (and sometimes ''shreds'') any skirt in the vicinity. Not to mention more ClothingDamage than you can shake a stick at, IfYouKnowWhatIMean.
** The latest manga arc has a [[ThirteenGoingOnThirty magically-aged-up]], completely naked Negi fainting from his injuries... on top of a student with a massive crush on him.
** Realize, this is KenAkamatsu's trademark; he wrote ''LoveHina'', and that is arguably worse than ''[[MahouSenseiNegima Negima]]'' at times when it comes to Fanservice. Each of the students in Negi's class fits a different trope in anime, including a pair of obviously lolicon twins. It would be faster to list all the fanservice tropes he ''missed...''
** At least part of the fanservice in ''Negima'' is [[ExecutiveMeddling editorially mandated]] -- he wanted to do a more action-orientated manga, but was told to capitalize on ''LoveHina's'' success. Of course, this is probably only ''partially'', and it's arguable that's he's got his action series by now...
*** The excesses to which ''Negima'''s fanservice goes may well be an [[WriterRevolt Author Revolt]]...
** Chapter 235 might very well be the most condensed piece of {{Ecchi}} fanservice ever; it's one giant FuroScene that ''actually advertises itself as a 100%-in-the-nude-chapter''.
** Considering that Akamatsu has published several {{hentai}} doujin under the name Culitte, none of this should be surprising.
* Men aren't exempt from shower scenes, [[BeachEpisode beach episodes]], and having [[ClothingDamage clothes ripped apart]] by attacks -- just ask Kaito of ''MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch''. And since the anime/manga is full of mermaids, well...
* The sixth ending of ''{{Naruto}}''. Just... watch it. Then of course there's the dog suits in the twelfth.
** Also, Naruto's "Sexy no Jutsu".
*** Kishimoto also believes in equal opportunity fanservice as a "Boy on Boy Jutsu" is used to distract Sakura in the manga.
** There's the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCNgRL9O_dw tenth Shippuden ending]], which shows shots of Sakura and much of the rest of the major cast in swimsuits.
* Misato Katsuragi and her off-duty clothes in ''NeonGenesisEvangelion''. For that matter, some of the stuff she wears on-duty qualifies too. She herself mentions it in many a PostEpisodeTrailer.
* Ranma's frequent [[InnocentFanserviceGirl topless excursions as a girl]] in ''[=~Ranma ½~=]'', supposedly because "she" has as much modesty as an ordinary ''male''. Some fanservice is also served up by various female members of the cast.
** The cursed forms of Shampoo (female, cat), Mousse (male, duck), and Ryōga (male, piglet) all meant that they would appear naked once they change back to their human forms. Also there were a whole lot of scenes that took place in bath houses that were clearly just an excuse to get the whole cast naked and in baths together. Of course that [[{{Fandisservice}} includes Genma]].
*** In Shampoo's case, she also enjoys [[TheGlomp leaping onto the]] [[strike:[[TheGlomp victim]]]] [[TheGlomp object of her affections]] [[MsFanservice naked as the day she was born]].
** There is also Kodachi Kunō's predilection for wearing [[LeotardOfPower nothing but a leotard]] practically all the time.
** And let us not forget the BeachEpisode near the end of the series, which put every female character in a bathing suit -- and in the processed showcased just how much of a bombshell quiet YamatoNadeshiko Kasumi really is when she shows up in the second-smallest bikini in the entire episode, and then goes on to win a "beach beauty" contest by accident without having entered.
** And let us ''definitely'' not forget the second movie, entitled "''Nihao My Concubine''" in the U.S. release. First, you see the girls on the beach in sexy swimwear, with the special award going to Ukyō daring to sport HadakaApron with just a bikini bottom and no top. Then, once all of them are kidnapped, they are put in equally sexy dresses. Also, [[MostCommonSuperpower all the girls' breasts are enhanced]] throughout the movie, and the amount of {{Gainaxing}} they exhibit -- ahem -- [[IncrediblyLamePun knows no]] ''[[IncrediblyLamePun bounds]]''. (Even the often obnoxious Nabiki becomes oddly appealing when she's sporting excellent "side boob" and jiggling all over the place...) And the ending montage throws even more gratuitous service your way.
*** This whole movie can be considered a parody of {{Hentai}}. Not only you have all the fanservice above, but also many girls getting kidnapped to become ''wives''... and even a genuine [[NaughtyTentacles giant tentacles plant]]!
* Special mention for ''SoukouNoStrain'', especially episode 7, which until the very last scene seems to serve no purpose besides keeping the fanboys interested.
* Mai Valentine from ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh}}!'' serves [[MsFanservice little purpose early on other than fanservice]]. This is parodied (just like everything else) in ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series}}'', most notably in the episode titled, appropriately enough "Fanservice", where at random intervals, we cut to Mai with her jacket off saying "Fanservice" (one of which is then followed by a cut to [[FanDisservice Bandit Keith]]...)
** There's also the scene where Tea (Anzu Masaki in the original Japanese) dances at the arcade, which features close-ups of her hips and chest flying about in a skimpy outfit. What it's doing in a children's cartoon, God only knows....
**Yu-Gi-Oh [[HeroicSociopath is]] [[AbusiveParents not]] [[AxCrazy exactly]] [[NightmareFuel a]] [[SelfMadeOrphan children's]] [[DrivenToSuicide cartoon.]]
** If that isn't enough, in the first series (before the creators got the idea to make it all about card games), Anzu and Yugi are visiting an amusement park... which includes a water park as well. Cue a scrolling shot from the legs up of Anzu in a two-piece bikini.
* During an April Fool's joke schedule, AdultSwim played commercial [[http://www.bumpworthy.com/?m=search&q=fanservice+moment bumpers]] that were "Fanservice Moments", taken from ''CowboyBebop'' and ''{{FLCL}}'', among others.
* Fairymon/Kazemon and Shutumon/Zephyrmon in ''DigimonFrontier'', and to a lesser extent, Sakuyamon, Lilymon and Angewomon. But the real winner is ''DigimonSavers''. Rosemon alone would probably be enough, between her TransformationSequence going out of its way to focus on her "assets", and her special technique having her briefly appear to be nude, but there's also a certain animation team in the rotation that ''really'' goes out of its way to "enhance" the female characters.
** This editor is pretty sure that whomever animated ''"The Crier Family Reunion"'' is a ''shibari'' [[{{AuthorAppeal}} fan]]. Trust me, you'll know it when you see it.
** Besides her digimon forms' {{Stripperific}} appearances, Zoe also gets a PantyShot in the Kazemon TransformationSequence, and one of Kazemon's attacks is a butt-thrust called a "Love Tap" (though it was never acknowledged as a special attack in the English dub). And that's just stuff that made it overseas; the dub edited out a bikini image from the BeachEpisode and some blatant ass shots from the NonSerialMovie (including a target's-eye view of the Love Tap).
* Haruhi is [[RapeAsComedy constantly stripping Mikuru down and forcing her to cosplay]] in ''SuzumiyaHaruhi''; this of course means that Kyon, whom the camera follows, is constantly walking in on Mikuru in varying stages of (semi-)nudity.
** The NonIndicativeFirstEpisode had a scene with Yuki in a witch outfit and [[MoeMoe Mikuru]] in a [[PlayboyBunny bunny girl outfit]] holding and firing a large gun. I lost count of how many types of fanservice were in that scene. I really did.
*** The Endless 8 loops always start out with a miniature BeachEpisode. The latest starting with an unapologetic shot aimed directly at Haruhi's ass.
*** In fact, the fact that Haruhi apparently has a nice butt is constantly reinforced.
* The increase of {{Fanservice}} in the second season of ''{{Minami-ke}}'' actually resulted in the ''decline'' of the series' popularity.
* The ''{{Prince of Tennis}}'' franchise, especially the anime, becomes more and more loaded with Bishonen, HoYay and FoeYay fanservice to attract female viewers (as if all the music CD's weren't enough...). Even Takeshi Konomi, the author, seems quite aware of this; the [[YaoiGuys Tezuka x Fuji]] subtext increases drastically during the semi-final and final matches [[spoiler:(Fuji is shown to be practically ''obsessed'' with Tezuka, specially in his match against Niouy who pretty much ''hypnotizes'' him to believe he was playing Tezuka, and some fanservicey details from their anime-only duel are shown in the manga as well)]], and to poke fun at the yaoi fans he even comes up with a doubles pairing, Koharu Konjiki and Yuuji Hitouji from Shitenhouji, whose interactions between themselves and their rivals look like straight up parodies of several BL manga clichés.
** And to throw a bone at the male viewers (yeah, they exist!): Hanamura Aoi.
** Starting about forty episodes in, the boys' shirts started to ride up noticeably higher with every swing of the old racket, showing at least one tantalizing sliver of tummy every episode.
* The sequel to ''ExcelSaga'', ''PuniPuniPoemi'', plays this trope straight, subverts it, double subverts it, spoofs it and pokes it with a sharp stick, all the while actively deconstructing ''every'' single piece of fanservice known to man.
* In ''[=~Pokémon~=]'', many of Ash's female traveling companions have had their moments of fanservice (which have led to any number of "ships" with Ash). Dawn's gratuitously short skirt in the latest season comes to mind, while Misty's short shorts and midriff have been there since day one. May, on the other hand, when their group came up to a lake front, decided it'd be a good idea to go swimming, at which point she strips off all of her clothes (in front of Ash, Brock and ''her brother'') [[{{Hammerspace}} revealing a green bikini underneath.]]
* As part of its main cast, ''{{Vandread}}'' features a whole spaceship full of [[MostCommonSuperpower well-endowed]], [[{{Stripperiffic}} scantily-clad]], bisexual space pirate girls. [[http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=eVUWR7mGo9M The first season credits]] are borderline {{Ecchi}}.
** Don't forget the naked dude piloting the ship.
* Frequent scenes of various {{Bishonen}} showering or bathing makes one wonder about the intended demographics of ''SaintSeiya''. And then there's the infamous Lizard Misty (male), who seems to exist only to take off all his clothes and have sun shining from between his legs to censor the naughty bits. (I kid you not.) Not to mention that most of the Silver Saints our heroes fight afterwards seem oddly bent on [[HoYay avenging Misty]]...
* Yoko of ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' wears a bikini top with hot pants and a scarf for practically the entire series.
** Lampshaded in the BeachEpisode where Yoko wears a much less revealing one-piece swimsuit, and one of the (very disappointed) male characters says something along the lines of "Oh, come on! Her ''regular'' outfit shows more skin than that!"
** There's good reason why she's the image for the {{Ms Fanservice}} trope.
* In ''OuranHighSchoolHostClub'', the entire point of the Host Club is to provide male fanservice for the female students ([[EstrogenBrigade and viewers]]).
* Even ''[[{{Yotsubato}} Yotsuba&!]]'' has fanservice moments, notably chapter 12, "Yotsuba & the Pool", with Fuuka in a bikini, and ''tons'' of LampshadeHanging from her, Mr. Koiwai and Jumbo.
-->'''Fuuka:''' What is it? Are you captivated by my sexiness?\\
'''Jumbo:''' Yeah\\
'''Fuuka:''' ''(pause)'' Huh?
** The fanservice is better in the obligatory BeachEpisode, "Yotsuba & the Beach". No lampshade, though.
* Fanservice is frequently lampshaded to the extreme in ''SayonaraZetsubouSensei''. Kaere has at least [[OnceAnEpisode one contractually obligated]] PantyShot per episode, some times for no apparent reason. Harumi is a YaoiFangirl (she even makes "18+" Dōjinshi staring ''Itoshiki''. Her favorite paring is Pine X Napple however, and some of her Dōjinshi can be seen in some episodes).
** The HotSpringsEpisode lampshades this, showing the entire female cast up to that point naked, (complete with humorous CensorSteam). There are even hints of a {{Yuri}}-[[YuriFanboy esque]] relationship between Kiri and Ms. Chie the guidance counselor. They even bathe together at some point. It would be easier to name the characters who haven't been involved in some sort of fanservice. (And even that would be hard, because nearly the entire main cast has.)
* Novel-turned-Manga/Anime ''{{Kanokon}}''. It's essentially {{hentai}} without the sex, and it gets pretty damn close to the sex. And the cake? '''''[[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cit_kanokon_9_-_it_is_delicious_cake_you_must_eat.jpg Not a lie.]]'''''
* In ''AiYoriAoshi'', a rather sweet love story is wrapped in a generous serving of fanservice.
* Being {{shonen}} MagicalGirl anime series, ''{{Mai-HiME}}'' and ''{{Mai-Otome}}'' have quite a few fanservicey moments, especially in the earlier episodes. In ''{{Mai-HiME}}'', a few characters almost always do battle in their standard [[{{Joshikousei}} seifuku]] (no {{Transformation Sequence}}s there, nope). Both manga versions, on the other hand, [[HotterAndSexier crank the fanservice up to eleven]] (the latter sometimes goes [[{{Ecchi}} beyond]] [[{{Hentai}} even]] ''that'').
* For the fangirls: ''BattleRoyale'' Volume 1. Hiroki. You know the panel.
* The first season of ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' has a quick PantyShot in the opening, a HotSpringsEpisode, and the frequently used exploding panties TransformationSequence that puts a lot of focus on the [[{{Lolicon}} underaged main character's body]]. Then the producers seemed to have noticed the PeripheryDemographic, toned down these kinds of fanservice in later seasons, while amping up [[StuffBlowingUp other]] [[ShipTease kinds]] [[{{Squee}} of]] fanservice for the MultipleDemographicAppeal.
* With absolutely tons of this, ''ToLoveRu'' is even rivaling early ''MahouSenseiNegima'' in terms of ClothingDamage. Not only does the Anime and Manga feature intense boobage and censored nudity, but the third OVA brings it up to 11, where is depicts roughly 10 minutes of pure fanservice by depicting all the characters in sexy poses (bikini optional) with appropriate music in the background on the beach. This goes as far as to groping boobs by those who hate ecchi, painting nipples, and playing Twister.
* Stop! If you dislike Fanservice, then I highly suggest you skip ''Inubaka Volume 7''! There's one scene where some students in a high school have to paint the female body. Guess what it contributes to the plot? Absolutely ''nothing''! Also, Teppei's decision to make a girl's dorm starts only when he keeps [[AccidentalPervert walking in on the girls that work there]]. Who would have guessed that a series about puppies would supply such unnecessary service?
* Look, ''KodomoNoJikan'' fans, we know how you like to go on about how it's not {{Lolicon}}. Please justify the sheer amount of time the young girls are naked or topless without using the phrase "Fanservice". We can wait.
* Also infamous for this: ''IkkiTousen'', with five panty shots in the credit sequence alone. Even the scenes that are supposed to be dramatic feature as many shots up the girls' skirts as the animators can shove in there.
* Almost as brazen as ''IkkiTousen'' in that regard, ''NajicaBlitzTactics''. Every opportunity is seized to indulge in panty shots.
* Just... watch the credits for ''[[DotHack .hack//GIFT]]''. (Wait, where's Tsukasa?)
** Tsukasa's a guy. [[spoiler:The girl who plays him, on the other hand... really doesn't matter much. This is .hack//, after all...]]
* The girls of ''FairyTail'' provide ''a lot'' of fanservice. Then again, the guys (especially Gray) do their share.
* ''{{Omamori Himari}}'' has this in spades. The scene where the {{Token Loli}} water-snake spirit Shizuku heals the protagonist's injuries by [[IntimateHealing rubbing her naked chest across his naked back]] almost crosses the line into hentai, especially since it looks like she's having an orgasm from performing the healing process.
** She very well might have been, given that her reason for doing it was "because I was horny".
* ''NininGaShinobuden'' occasionally has Kaede and or Shinobu get naked for no reason whatsoever. This is then parodied and [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] to [[GagSeries ridiculous degrees]]. Not to mentions [[DirtyOldMan Onsokumaru's]] numerous ImagineSpots.
* An OVA of ''SchoolRumble'' shows Tenma getting ready to get into a bath, which includes a close-up of her butt as she removes her panties. A student in the class also attempts to sit in the front to get some eye candy out of the teacher (who is also Harima's cousin). Great for fanservice and the [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Crowning Moments of Funny]]. Now, unless you don't mind losing your sanity, [[FanDisservice don't watch the rest of the OVA]].
* ''ChronoCrusade'' has its fair share of fanservice, from shower scenes for every major female character to ClothingDamage to promotional images featuring Rosette in things like a skimpy cowgirl outfit and a swimsuit. Gonzo's anime adaptation upped the ante by adding in panty shots (in the manga, Rosette wears bloomers) and some scenes in which Aion sexually dominates one of the female characters (and at least [[HoYay one of the males]]). (Although the later could be FanDisservice, considering that it seems to be meant to creep viewers out more than anything else.)
* Although most moments in ''PrincessTutu'' hold some sort of purpose to the plot, whenever Ahiru changes from her duck form to her girl form, she's in the nude, and both Mytho and Fakir have several {{Shirtless Scene}}s.
** Though there is the time Fakir has an OutOfClothesExperience. Though even that has plot reasons. [[NightmareFuel And then he turns into a tree]].
* ''{{Pretear}}'' is a ReverseHarem MagicalGirl show in which the main character transforms by "preting" with one of her seven MagicalKnights -- including a TransformationSequence that shows the two naked and embracing. She even does this with [[{{Shotacon}} two of the knights that are children]].
* While we're at it, {{Transformation Sequence}}s in general.
* The [[BeachEpisode Pool episode/arc]] in ''{{Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni}}'' is known for being chock full of fanservice, both male and female.
** Also,the animators seem to like using yuri and lolicon a lot for their advertisements. Mainly,[[{{Twincest}} Shion x Mion]] and either [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship Rika x Satoko]] or (rarer but still..) Rika x Hanyuu.
* Outright mocked in ''BoboboBoBoBobo'' with the character Service Man, whose only attack is... fanservice. He lifts up his sheet and exposes himself to the other characters (but never the audience).
** Thank goodness he wears boxers, though. [[FanDisservice Thankfully.]]
** Also, Don Patch attacks an otter enemy by generating a skirt and flashing his panties.
* Done quite frequently in ''MidoriDays'', including a random shot of Ayase standing up in the bath. One lolworthy moment is when Seiji's sister appears naked (to his horror) and Midori [[LesYay compliments her body]].
* Legendary example: Chun Li's [[LeaveTheCameraRunning rather long]] (not that that's a bad thing) ShowerScene in the ''StreetFighter II'' anime movie. It has been censored in almost every translation, although they still show some of it (and the next scene has her fighting Vega only wearing a long shirt and underwear).
* For ''{{Eiken}}'', [[BeyondTheImpossible it's the point of ALMOST being out-right Hentai.]]
* Almost anything by {{CLAMP}}. They obviously [[AuthorAppeal love]] indulging in all kinds of [[FetishFuel very interesting]] fanservice, to the point where Ohkawa (the writer of the group) has commented that many people think Yuuko from [[XxxHolic xxxHOLiC]] (a BottleFairy YaoiFangirl with a Stripperific wardrobe and no regards for anyone's personal space, be it men, women, or underaged teens) ''was based on her''.
* Despite its '''copious''' quantities of FanDisservice, ''ElfenLied'' does have its fair share of the real thing, mostly revolving around Nyu's lack of modesty and love of breast squeezing. [[LesYay The latter goes even further in the manga:]] [[spoiler: she gets Yuka very hot and bothered, and almost rapes Nozomi.]] Also, in the manga's version of the "kissing in the rain" sequence, [[spoiler: Yuka's skirt rides up over her hips, and she very nearly has an orgasm on Kouta's lap because of where his knee is rubbing.]]
* The anime ''{{CLANNAD}}'' loves playing with this, especially when [[ButtMonkey Sunohara]] or [[BoobsOfSteel Kyou]] get involved. The gym-locker scene between Kyou and [[{{Bishonen}} Tomoya]] is almost entirely a parody of fanservice, with a good amount of NotWhatItLooksLike thrown in for fun.
** Sanae (a HotShounenMom) gets a memorable scene where the viewer sees a slideshow of various costumes she's putting on. The nurse, police uniform, and {{Meido}} costumes are displayed for a bit, while the revealing gym uniform costume is shown for about half a second.
* If the fanservice was taken out of ''PsychicAcademy'', it would be utterly boring but barely watchable. With the fanservice? SoBadItsHorrible.
* Wether the anime or manga, ''AirGear'' lives and breathes this trope, to the point that if any of the female characters aside from Shiraume, Emily, or Kururu were to somehow appear in this world, they'd be arrested for public indecency. From Om's standard battle position (bent over, looking behind her, so she can aim the bubbles she shoots from her skates) to Ringo's alternate/emergency Croissant Mask outfit, there's enough bared flesh in this series to satisfy the entirety of Las Vegas.
* As [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment repeatdly mentionned on its page]], ''ThisUglyYetBeautifulWorld'' '''breathes''' this trope. Half of its listed tropes are {{Fanservice}}!
* The Japanese adaptation of ''ThePowerpuffGirls'', ''DemashitaPowerpuffGirlsZ'', is filled with fanservice -- including close up of the titular girls' skirts (while they're being worn), the girls dressed up in [[NightNurse nurse oufits]], a bath scene, and a whole lot of [[MagicSkirt near panty-shots]] (particulary because the animators can't decide if the girls are wearing a dress or a [[LeotardOfPower leotard]] and a skirt). Keep in mind these girls are ''thirteen''. Also, there's a lot when it comes to the older women in the show (especially [[MsFanservice Ms. Bellum and Sedusa]]).
* According to everyone I've met, it's considered fanservice for [[BlackButler Sebastian]] to be on screen.
** Same goes from Grelle.
* Let's not forget ''AxisPowersHetalia'', specifically, Ukraine's huge... tracts of land.
** ...This troper is ''ashamed'' that there is no mention of all the male (and hell, non-sexual, as strange as that is) fanservice in this series. For the love of god, it has its own FetishFuel page!
* ''Shiroi no Fiorentina'' has two fanservice moments aimed at female readers near the end of the story.
* ''KenichiTheMightiestDisciple''. All but one of the primary female characters have BoobsOfSteel. And the female lead wears SensualSpandex ''all the time''. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
* ''HayateTheCombatButler'' arguably lampshades this, as can be seen in the picture at the top of this trope, where throughout the series, fanservice moments are specifically called out by the narrator, and are usually accompanied with 'sparkly' theme music. Of particular note is one episode where the narrator tells the audience to "get ready to screen-cap, as there will be plenty of fanservice shots in this episode". Also, in the extras at the end of one of the episodes is the most likely candidate for lampshading, where the narrator announces "And here's a fanservice shot of Klaus even though you probably don't want to see it", as a bath-scene shot of Klaus the head (elderly, bespectacled) butler is shown.
*Despite being a shoujo manga, ''KedamonoDamono'' has a lot of male-oriented fanservice. It probably has to do with the fact that the male love interest has a tendency [[GenderBender to turn into a]] [[TheLadette Ladette]]. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No, seriously]].
*What, no ''[[RevolutionaryGirlUtena Utena]]''? The series deliberately teases the fans with fan disservice more than the fan service. Akio himself -- and most of the rest of the male cast -- are shirtless in almost every episode of the third season. I'll be in my bunk.

* From ''[=~Magic: The Gathering~=]'': [[http://ww2.wizards.com/Gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?name=Handcuffs "That was fun! Now me."]] -- [[http://ww2.wizards.com/Gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?name=Gwendlyn_Di_Corci Gwendlyn Di Corci]]
** Taking into account Gwendyln's effect and that one's hand symbolizes how many spells they remember, Gwendelyn's ability is effectively ''{{Distracted by the Sexy}} in card form''.
* Pretty much every bit of artwork containing female characters in the ''Universal Fighting System'' Collectable Card Game. But, considering its source material (fighting video games), this should come as no surprise.

[[folder:Comics]]
*Does [[http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i212/Kerrah_photos/Pin-upCalender.jpg this little pearl]] from DonRosa count as a subversion?
* Adam Warren's ''{{Empowered}}'' is a comic that's open about its fanservicing. The main character is a neurotic and well-endowed superheroine with an alien supersuit that grants her generic energy blast and super-strength powers. Shame those powers go away the minute her ''extremely fragile'' supersuit gets torn...
** Given that ''Empowered'' was created after Adam Warren was commissioned to create a series of BDSM pin-up drawings about a [[DistressedDamsel superheroine-in-distress]] -- an idea that he took and ran with -- this isn't surprising in the least.
* And let's not forget Adam's American versions of ''The DirtyPair'' and ''BubblegumCrisis'' which, while not necessarily received favorably by all fans of the classic titles, are absolutely dripping with fanservice (even where the originals might not necessarily have been).
* Fred Perry, artist of ''Series/GoldDigger'', is well known for giving a generous dose of cheesecake alongside the plot and action, most notiably in the well-endowed title Diggers sisters. He doesn't leave his female readers out either, with a good amount of beefcake included.
* In the DC Universe, the perpetual fanservers are Starfire, Lady Phantom, Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Talia, Harley Quinn and Fire.
** Wearing a bathing suit to fight crime, Wonder Woman has been one of DC Comic's favorite fanservers since the golden age. First by appearing in bondage in several covers, then by dropping the mini-skirt, and then by exposing Linda Carter in cleavage. In [[http://whysoserious.wikia.com/wiki/File:SWW_01.jpg ''Wonder Woman'' #300]], her outfit burns and she has to take it off in front of Superman, who then covers her with his cape before they make out. In ''Identity Crisis'', Green Arrow points that no man can avoid looking at her rack.
** Starfire, due to her culture (and clothes), is one of the most consistent providers of fanservice. For starters, as Green Arrow observes, nobody can avoid looking at her cleavage and her golden skin. In ''Coutdown'', bathes nude in a lake in front of Animal Man; in ''Countdown to Adventure'' #1, in front of his wife and kids, she mentions to Animal Man that, as he knows, she sleeps in the nude; and finally, issue #1 of the current ''[[Comicbook/TeenTitans Titans]]'' series features Starfire [[http://whysoserious.wikia.com/wiki/File:Starfire_Titans_03.jpg sunbathing in the nude]], thinking how much she hates having to wear clothes all the time when in public, with the end of the scene showing the character in a particularly egregious [[http://whysoserious.wikia.com/wiki/File:Starfire_Titans_02.jpg cheesecake pose]] in front of Animal Man's kid.
** The "Gotham Girls" increase this tendency as time passes. Since the late 90's Poison Ivy has been shown wearing nothing but some leaves in key places every now and then and Talia's rags are becoming as odd as little. In the ''Catwoman: When in Rome'' limited series, the title character gets nude almost every issue. First bathing and kicking the Riddler out of her hotel room, then in bed, getting awakened by the Blonde and falling into a river in Venice, and then sunbathing topless to tease the Blonde. In her early career both Catwoman and Batgirl went to a nudist club and had a catfight in their birthday suits in order to fulfill their respective missions. A few years ago, Catwoman exchanged her purple outfit for a spy-like, black leather one with a front zipper... which didn't stay closed for long. Barbara Gordon is often shown bending over and displaying her cleavage; according to recent ''Birds of Prey'' issues, she has "cyber-done it" with Ted Kord and is known as "the Batgirl with the red hair and the big breasts".
** Phantom Lady's costume's sole purpose is to focus male attention into her large breasts exposed through plunging cleavage. Her story with the {{goodgirlart}} began in the late 40s with her new cleavage and bigger curves designed by Matt Baker for issue #13. Issue #17 caught the attention of infamous Dr. Frederic Wertham and the cover was exposed in ''Seduction of the Innocent''. After some time of keeping the appearances, she recovered her cleavage, now bigger than ever.
** For comical purposes, Fire, from the team "formerly known as the Justice League", has been in the awkward situations of having to take off all of her clothes in front of her teammates. She doesn't seem to mind that Elongated man sees her full frontal.
** A short and loose skirt makes Supergirl a Ms. Fanservice by definition, and a crop top only makes things better. The current version of this character makes a hell of an entrance by causing havoc nude in the pages of Batman / Superman. The Earth-2 Superman's tomboyish cousin Power girl has a great deal of her life revolving around the fact that her breasts are huge and that, thanks to her "chest window" (originaly a cleavage), no man ever looks at her eyes. Since her creation, these characteristics have been progressively more exploited by the artists, to the point that in recent years the character has been addressing the issue in various stories.
** One particular example of note, Power Girl has been noted to state her fanservicing of the villains makes her job a lot easier, and it was planned that way.
** Rose Wilson aka Ravager from the current Teen Titan's run is better covered in her fighting costume than she ''ever'' is in civilian dress. Since becoming Ravager her casual dress has gone from previously average to perhaps unnecessarily revealing -- short shorts and midriff revealing tops are now her standard (and she makes it look damn good).
** Elasti-Girl of the DoomPatrol is used for this occasionally, taking full advantage of her size-alteration. Aside from the [[http://whysoserious.wikia.com/wiki/File:Elasti-Girl_01.jpg blatant upskirts]], there's also the literal [[http://whysoserious.wikia.com/wiki/File:Elasti-Girl_Naked_Confused.jpg wardrobe malfunction]].
** Arkhampedia has an entire page devoted to collecting fanservice in comics [[http://whysoserious.wikia.com/wiki/Fanservice here]].
* Marvel's fanservers include Spiderman's jackpot, Mary Jane Watson, Psylocke with her thong, and Black Cat and the White Queen with their trademark cleavages. During the 1990s Marvel Comics put out a series of "Swimsuit specials", which were basically an extremely flimsy excuse for equal-opportunity fanservice. Among other things, these provided what may be the first ever mainstream. [[http://www.angelophile.co.uk/pictures/swimsuit/swimsuit4.jpg full-frontal superhero nude]], as well as some genuine [[http://whysoserious.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ghost-Rider_Nude.jpg nightmare fuel]]. They at least showed off guys nearly as much as women.
** Notably averted in ''Spider-Girl'', where May was initally draw with short, boy-cut hair, and wasn't very attractive. Since that time, May's grown her hair out a little, but what little fanservice there is is positively tame by most comic book standards.
** Emma Frost is walking, talking fanservice. Or possibly she's meant to be [[AuthorAppeal staff-service]]...
** Black Widow walks around in a SpyCatSuit and is going to be played by ScarlettJohansen in the upcoming Iron Man 2.
* Antarctic Press, an independent comic publisher notable for titles such as ''NinjaHighSchool'' and ''Series/GoldDigger'', and the short-lived Image Comics have also experimented with the "Swimsuit special" format.
* Fanservice is the meat and potatoes of ''Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose''. Practically every woman is back-ache-inducingly overendowed. Most monsters, be they demons or ragdolls or gingerbread cookies or shark-mermaids, are female and yes, the previous rule applies. The heroine, Tarot, often wears a {{stripperiffic}} outfit laughably referred to as "her armor", while her nemesis and sister, Raven, wears only spiked panties and interesting tattoos, and the other monster-girls usually wear even less. Tarot's kinda sorta boyfriend Jon provides a bit of beefcake, but he's in minority and also the ButtMonkey. Casual sex is so casual that two people might indulge in it as an alternate to saying hello, and often it's completely glossed over since it's "the norm" for witches or something. The comic can actually be fairly entertaining if you treat it as a mindless and somewhat perverted action comic (and a bit of GuiltyPleasure), but it seems, sadly, that the producers take their work seriously and intend for it to teach about the truths of witchcraft. One issue is nothing but narrative correcting various misconceptions about witchcraft, pointing out specifically that yes, witches ''do'' hold their rites naked, don't assume otherwise. (Possibly they're just pretending to be serious.)
* Pretty much every female character in Larry Elmore's ''Snarf Quest'' seems to exist primarily to fulfill this trope.
* There's a scene towards the beginning of ''NightOfTheLivingDead: New York'' featuring a busty redheaded callgirl '[[IfYouKnowWhatIMean servicing]]' a client which is possibly the most graphic and blatant example of this trope to yet appear in comic books (and considering the amount of fanservice that's appeared in comic books, that's saying quite a lot). Put simply, the artist spared no level of detail in depicting her genitalia, but apparently couldn't remember whether she actually brought any clothes with her (and, in some panels, where she was even sitting in the car). Although to be fair, it's contrasted with an equally blatant example of FanDisservice later in the book (which, not uncoincidentally, has something to do with the whole ZombieApocalypse alluded to in the title).
* Cave Girl is a comic series which lives off of this trope, being written as a NubileSavage, and actually having her ClothingDamage reveal full frontal nip shots.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Films]]
* Jessica Rabbit from ''WhoFramedRogerRabbit'' certainly fits here. She was originally designed as a parody of the "FilmNoir Broad".
* In the ''AeonFlux'' movie, Aeon spends her off hours wearing very little, even considering that it's supposed to be the future.
** In the original animated shorts, she spent her ''on'' hours wearing [[{{Stripperiffic}} little more than a patent leather bikini and thigh boots.]]
* One could argue the recent movie ''[[ThreeHundred 300]]'' consists of nearly ''all'' passive fanservice, considering that both male and female Greek characters wear very little. This wouldn't be so egregious, except that historically, part of what made a Greek hoplite an effective warrior was his panoply, usually consisting of a ''hoplon'' shield, bronze helmet, bronze cuirass and a bronze greave on the most exposed leg. However, the Spartan soldiers spend the entire movie wearing essentially leather speedos and red velvet cloaks, and are very muscular, fit men. It's one of the few examples of a movie with more fanservice of male characters than of female characters. Note that this fanservice is actually toned down compared to the comic it was based on, which was itself toned down from most historical artistic representations of the Battle of Thermopylae (and warfare in antiquity in general), which generally portray everyone on both sides as stark naked with the exception of their weapons and (sometimes) footwear, making this OlderThanFeudalism. The only historical problem, of course, is that the Spartans were not [[{{Stripperiffic}} dressed for work]], as real, historical Spartans, male and female, only walked around naked in cloaks when not actually on a battlefield. In Plato's works, Socrates is fond of mocking Spartans for this pretension of simplicity as well as himself implying it was done for {{Fanservice}}.
** Also note that, despite the male nudity, the ''real'' fanservice is the machismo that practically drips from it, skewing the movie's audience heavily towards men. (Gay, gay men and macho action fangirls, one would assume.)
** Of course, it's also possible that since the whole story is revealed to be Sparta propaganda, the Spartan storyteller was basically saying that the Spartans at Thermopylae were so BadAss, they [[ArmorIsUseless didn't need to bother with wimpy armor.]] Imagine a story where Normandy was won by the [[CurbStompBattle Allied forces absorbing the bullets from the defenders and killing every single one of them with their bare hands.]]
** It's [[Adaption Decay]] -- the original Spartans wouldn't have boasted about fighting unarmoured because that's what people who couldn't afford armour -- amateurs -- did. The Spartan Warmachine was based around professional, armoured hoplites, whilst most contemporary opponents fielded part time soldiers of whom only a fraction could afford metal armour. The Spartans in the (very) graphic novel that the film is based on fight naked apart from their cloaks and helmets, but as noted above, that's ahistorical. As previously observed historical Spartans only did the naked-but-for-a-cloak thing ''off''duty. So, double adaption decay really...
* The suiting-up sequence in ''{{Batman}} Returns'' ends with a lingering shot of the hero's rubber-clad buttocks. It's maybe two or three seconds long. Extraordinary.
** A more blatant example was Alicia Silverstone's suiting up scene in ''{{Batman}} and Robin''. There were male cheers in the audience during that scene.
* This editor is rather surprised that Maurice Binder's (and his successor, Daniel Kleinman's) title sequences for the JamesBond films haven't been mentioned. ''CasinoRoyale'' was an exception to the rule. He didn't actually do ''FromRussiaWithLove'' and ''{{Goldfinger}}'', the former of which is definitely in that vein (titles projected on a belly dancer).
** The ''[[JamesBond Bond]]'' films are chock full of it. Anya Amasova in the shower in ''TheSpyWhoLovedMe'', the common pool scenes. In fairness, we ought to mention Daniel Craig in his swimming trunks in ''CasinoRoyale'' and Sean Connery in general.
* Aversion: ''RedEye,'' despite giving a fairly manufactured reason for Rachel [=McAdams=] to go into the bathroom to change her shirt, does not point the camera any lower than her armpits. The real purpose of the scene isn't to show off her feminine attributes (although that would be a fairly noble endeavor, this being Rachel [=McAdams=]), but to expose the large scar on her shoulder. It's plot-relevant.
* Consider that every single ''{{Terminator}}'' movie opens up with a large, muscular man wearing no clothing popping up in the middle of nowhere, and the later installments include ''female'' Terminators as well.
* In a semi-rare male example, ''HighSchoolMusical 3: Senior Year'' was slated to have a scene featuring Zac Efron's character in a shower -- but, unfortunately for the film's target audience, Disney chickened out.
** [=HSM3=] is sill very fanservisey. The CatGirls and Sharpey's outfit during "I Want it All" come to mind.
* Back in the days before the Internet, many a BMovie, expecially those produced by RogerCorman, would include a topless scene in order to entice male viewers to the theater. Another B-movie producer once famously described female nudity as "the cheapest special effect".
** Unfortunately, for some reason, so ''many'' of the nude scenes were also rape scenes, which [[FanDisservice drains them of their appeal]]. This is a common lament among BMovie afficiandos.
* We haven't even mentioned ''{{Barbarella}}''. Aside from inspiring the name for a band with videos laden with the stuff ([=DuranDuran=]), the opening sequence involves a young JaneFonda. [[YouCanLeaveYourHatOn Taking it all off]].
* ''Wild Things'' is notable for going a bit further with the male fanservice than the female one. Female nudity is limited to toplessness (and then only two characters) and [[GirlOnGirlIsHot a girl-on-girl kiss]], while we get a brief shot of a penis in a shower scene.
** On the other hand, seeing [[IncrediblyLamePun Kevin's bacon]] could easily be seen as accidental, while seeing Denise Richards' assets most cerainly was ''not''.
* In Christophe Gan's adaptation of ''CryingFreeman'', Marc Dacascos' character often fights half naked, with a notable scene in which he kills some henchmen wearing only a jockstrap.
** In the original manga the character sometimes fights naked, though his crotch is always hidden in shadows.
* The ''{{Mystery Science Theater 3000}}'' subject ''Future War'' has an infamous attempt at this, as in the final fight scene a headbutt to the hero's chest somehow knocks his shirt off, which was tucked in and fully buttoned a half-second before. The guy playing the hero was also the fight choreographer, by the way.
* In the live-action ''{{X-Men}}'' movies, Brotherhood of Evil Mutants diva Mystique is essentially portrayed as a blue, redheaded lizard (whose makeup consists of little more than contact lenses, blue body paint and a handful of strategically-placed plastic scales), in all probability the most blatant example of fanservice permissible in a PG or PG-13 movie. Ironically, in the comic she is portrayed as a much more conventionally alluring (though still blue-skinned in her natural form) individual, and typically wears a costume (admittedly suggestive) instead of running around naked.
** Ahem, yeah, but then, as a shapeshifter, those are not really her real clothes -- she shapeshifts parts of her body to look like clothes.
* '''Two''' gratuitous hard-body-in-the-shower shots, one for the guys and one for the ladies? Dr. Calvin giving Spooner's [[spoiler:cybernetic]] physique a leisurely grope? You'll find them in ''I, Robot''. Heck, there's even a wet-fur scene for the cats!
* Movie ''TopGun'' has several scenes of men in semi-undress. In particular, there is a volleyball game sequence in which the men fairly compete to strut their physiques.
* Japanese horror film ''Eko eko azaraku'' contains a lengthy lesbian love scene that some viewers might argue was not entirely essential to the plot.
* May also exist in the source material, but for an excellent example of fanservice please see ''{{Tank Girl}}''. ''All'' OF it.
* Fanservice, thy names are [[PiratesOfTheCaribbean Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom]]!! *swoons*
* From ''[[ViewAskewniverse Clerks 2]]'': Jason Mewes with chapstick. Sadly ruined by the cut to [[FanDisservice him in the Buffalo Bill pose complete with tuck]], but damn it was good while it lasted.
** Played a lot straighter with Rosario Dawson dancing without a bra.
* John Abraham. Just ... [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukU3brIKEG8 John Abraham]].
* Halle Berry's topless scene in ''{{Swordfish}}'' is a pretty blatant and textbook example.
* You wouldn't expect to see Fanservice in, of all places, a film adaptation of an Agatha Christie novel, yet the 1965 film version of ''[[Literature/AndThenThereWereNone And There Were None]]'' manages to squeeze in two scenes featuring the Vera Claythorne character (played by Shirley Eaton) in her underwear, as well as a [[ModestyTowel modesty towel.]] How is this relevant to the plot? Good question...
** The Russian film version also gives Vera a scene in her [[BlackBraAndPanties black underwear.]] [[FanDisservice And then, a few minutes later, this trope is mercilessly and brutally subverted...]]
* So far, at least two movies have featured ZooeyDeschanel in the shower, albeit from the shoulders up. This troper is still waiting for a full body shower scene. *tugs collar, steam comes out*
* In TheMovie of ''SinCity'', in the story "The Big Fat Kill", when Brittany Murphy is leaning out the window. This editor hasn't read that particular graphic novel, so doesn't know if that angle is actually in it.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Live Action TV]]
* The very common shots of scantily clad women in TheTeaser for ''CSIMiami''. Or for that matter, the entire wardrobes of Calleigh and Natalia.
** Hey, the girls get fanservice too, in the very easy on the eye form of Eric Delko, sometimes shirtless.
* In ''{{Chuck}}'', Sarah is constantly fighting in skimpier and skimpier outfits. One episode even had a punk kid take a picture of her as she was fighting, then boast how he was going to put it up on the Internet.
** Sexy ex-spy Roan Montgomery from the ''{{Chuck}}'' episode "Chuck vs the Seduction" was an obvious fanservice nod to John Larroquette fans who were dissatisfied with his character Carl Sack from ''{{Boston Legal}}''.
* All iterations of ''StarTrek'' have had a number of incidents in the last few years to qualify as fanservice, most notably in the last two series.
** Seven Of Nine from ''{{Voyager}}'' was pretty much solely created for this purpose, to bring in a younger demographic of male viewers. The skintight spandex helped.
*** In all fairness, no Star Trek series has ever had a deficiency of young male viewers, and unlike many other examples in this list, Seven kept her one-piece on for the majority of the series and was very rarely used for overt titillation.
** ''Star Trek {{Enterprise}}'' had a number of obligatory "decon gel" scenes where characters rubbed glistening gels all over each other, as well as a scene where Vulcan T'Pol undresses in front of engineer Trip, giving fans a revealing look at her backside and blatantly perky (erect?) nipples.
*** In the Season Two premiere, Hoshi is crawling in a ventilation duct to avoid the Suliban. She slips into Malcom's room via a ceiling grill, but as she does, her shirt catches on something, she slips, and we get a shot where the only things keeping the rating down are Hoshi's arms. Her line shows that the scene was played for laughs as much as fanservice:
---->'''Hoshi:''' Whatever you're going to say, I don't want to hear it. Just give me a shirt.
** Don't forget [[StarTrekTheOriginalSeries the original]]. They gave their women (particularly any GirlOfTheWeek) some of [[http://bp2.blogger.com/_tBl_3BU6-1c/RZrYC6QnGFI/AAAAAAAAAME/n-3uZ-gdEiM/s1600-h/Carolyn+Palamas+3.jpg the]] [[http://media-files.gather.com/images/d198/d585/d744/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg most]] [[http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g223/mudshark58/comment/trek/Wink_of_an_Eye_108.jpg outrageous]] [[http://harperganesvoort.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/droxine-episode.jpg outfits]] [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/86/ST_ByAnyOtherName.jpg ever]] [[http://allyourtrekarebelongto.us/drusilla.jpg seen]] [[http://farm1.static.flickr.com/3/5753910_13cdad18ef.jpg?v=0 on]] [[http://startrekreview.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/blog_zarabeth.jpg television]]. And no woman could be onscreen without accompanying romantic music and soft-focused close-ups. It being the '60s, the original's fanservice was somehow both more tasteful ''and'' more blatant than in latter-day incarnations.
*** And, of course, for the ladies, there was WilliamShatner and all his {{Shirtless Scene}}s.
**[[StarTrekDeepSpaceNine DS9]] had Bashir and his infamous [[http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/oo265/Blossom_Morphine/Tennis1.jpg raqcuetball]] [[http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/oo265/Blossom_Morphine/Tennis2.jpg outfit]].
***There was also Kira's [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/en/images/thumb/b/b0/Kira_Nerys_(mirror).jpg/292px-Kira_Nerys_(mirror).jpg leather-clad]][[MirrorUniverse counterpart]] in the MU episodes.
* Of course, ''Series/LasVegas''; it's the show's raison d'être. Mostly women but occasionally men as well.
* Be it snake massages, body sushi, or toxic waste jacuzzis, ''Ripley's Believe Or Not'' managed to find some excuse to feature bikini-wearing girls at the very end of each episode.
* The ''{{Terminator}}'' SpinOff ''TheSarahConnorChronicles'' features several scenes where Cameron Phillips, the female bodyguard Terminator, is running around either naked or wearing very little clothing, usually due to time travel or [[InnocentFanserviceGirl not being aware that she's supposed to be wearing clothes]].
** The episode "Self Made Man" even includes a gratuitious five-second long shot of Summer Glau's perfectly rounded rear as she slowly walks across a room. ''No one'' is complaining.
** "Some Must Watch, While Some Must Sleep" has a very blatant piece of fanservice involving Cameron in slight, bright red bra and panties. [[spoiler: Except Cameron isn't real, and is instead just part of a dream Sarah is having.]]
** And lest we forget, Cameron stripping down, getting on a bed, asking John to get on top of her and stick his hand inside her, ribcage.
* Arguably, ''{{Firefly}}'' may have had some fanservice, mostly surrounding Inara's outfits and profession, as well as the psychotic seductress Saffron. And don't forget that the introduction to River involves her appearing [[GirlInABox naked in a box.]] (River is played by Summer Glau, the previously mentioned Cameron Phillips).
** No mays or arguability here: Inara, spongebath. End of discussion.
*** And Kaylee with the strawberry in the same episode as both of the above.
** There was also a mild form of for-the-fangirls fanservice in the final episode, where the pretty-boy (and surprisingly well-toned) Simon appears [[ShirtlessScene shirtless]] for a while. Writer Joss Whedon even acknowledges in the commentary that the female fans of the series would be rather happy about this scene.
*** This was tame compared to the unaired episode "Trash" which stripped Mal naked and plays PeekABoo with his crotch for the final few scenes, though his ass is on full display.
****One could argue that since it was a part of the plot that it wasn't really intended as fan service. One could argue also that it was Saffron getting some fan service for herself. Meta-Fan Service!
**Every single main character in ''Firefly'' has had some sort of shirtless scene during the one season run of the series. Admitedly, Shepard Book's is only because he got shot in that area, Zoe's ModestyBedsheet does a pretty good job of covering her, but it still stands.
* British series ''DoctorWho'' has this as a ParentalBonus; although it usually skirts around nudity (but Harkness' bare back has appeared in the new series), even as far back as the 1970s series creators went quity skimpy on the girls' skirts. (And it goes without saying that most companions are female for one reason.)
** Third Doctor companion Jo Grant, self-declared [[TheDitz Ditz]], often has knee-level boots and quite short skirts.
*** But [[HotScientist Liz Shaw]] did it [[http://i25.tinypic.com/2s7i9v7.jpg first]].
** [[spoiler: "Journey's End", the season 4 finale, has a naked Ten -- well, a clone of Ten. Sadly, we do not get a backside shot.]]
*** If that's what you want, get watching ''{{Casanova}}.''
** There hasn't yet, since the revival, been any LingerieScene with a female companion. RussellTDavies vetoed one with FreemaAgyeman on grounds of inappropriateness.
** There was TimeySlimeyMartha in series 3, wearing only goo...
** Jenny. Although that's more tight than revealing.
** Nyssa's stripping down to her underwear near the end of "Terminus" (her farewell episode) was a deliberate fanservice act on the part of Sarah Sutton, who played her (a kind of "thank you" for all the fan mail, apparently...).
* In season 2 of ''Series/{{Heroes}}'', Peter Petrelli [[ShirtlessScene loses his shirt]] at least once in almost every episode that he appears in. Sylar also has a rather contrived shirtless scene near the end of the season, but female fans were still pleased.
** Season 3 also has a shot of naked Mohinder sliding all wet and glistening out of a cocoon with a full backside view.
** There's also women. Elle, played by Kristen Bell, spent an entire episode without wearing pants. We catch a glimpse of Maya's boob in season three. Plus, everybody seems to be related to a hot blonde.
** Let's add Nathan Petrelli, turning up to a diner after a flight wearing a pair of pyjama pants. Only.
* It seems ''{{Smallville}}'' is going very heavily in this direction. Look at the facts: both Ma and Pa Kent have left the show, and Pete Ross left a long time ago. Two of the replacements, [[TheScrappy Lois Lane]] and Kara, are often in swimwear, belly shirts or otherwise very revealing clothing. Lois also guested in an episode where she went undercover as a stripper.
** There is plenty of male fan-service on show too -- Clark, Lex, Davis, Oliver Queen, Arthur Curry (prime example of the trope), etc.
* The ''{{Supernatural}}'' boys are well-known for packing on the layers so you can imagine the joy when "In My Time of Dying" came along and Dean spent the entire episode in a nicely-fitting white t-shirt and blue scrub pants.
** Sam's sex scene from "Heart" was all about this trope. But with the abs and the muscles and the hot explicitness of the entire thing, we're seriously not complaining.
** And the bondage fans had a field day with "Hunted" -- or more likely to be named the episode where Dean is the {{distressed damsel}} for the evening and spends most of his time {{bound and gagged}}.
** The two {{Sexy Pan}}s up Dean's legs in "Phantom Traveller" (naked and sleeping) and in "Born Under A Bad Sign" (clothed and unconscious) and the camera lovingly caressing his arse in both instances were only there to please his millions of fangirls/fanboys.
** While admittedly filled with awesome moments, "Born Under A Bad Sign" didn't do all that much to further the plot. But you know it was all worth it when you see Jared Padalecki proving that [[EvilIsSexy evil is very, very, very sexy]].
** Does no one remember "Hell House"? Hello, Sam in nothing but a towel! The fangirls had a field day with that one.
* The new ''BattlestarGalactica'' has a wonderful scene where Dr. Baltar is in the Cylon ship, he and the Cylon he's walking with walk past a "Boomer" Cylon (played by the ever beautiful Grace Park) doing Tai-chi naked in the hallway for no reason or explanation. But the reality is probably that it was a great way to have Grace Park doing Tai-chi naked in a hallway, and there is nothing wrong with this.
** The ostensible justification was to show the difference between the Cylon basestar and human vessels -- in that there are no doors or any sense of privacy. And to show Grace Park's wonderful body.
** Which is not the first time for her. We saw [[MesACrowd a whole crowd of her]] clad only in CensorSteam as part of her TomatoInTheMirror reveal.
** This particular Boomer [[spoiler:started doing it for an audience of a particular Cavill in season 4]]. Which almost makes it FanDisservice.
* Done rather often in ''BrainiacScienceAbuse''. Not counting the Brainiac Babes, there's several other examples out there, such as the DoubleEntendre-laden "Professor Myang Lee" (Rachel Grant) things involving the dropping of fruit into swimming pools by said bikini-clad "Professor" and to top it all off, they once did an experiment on the heart rate changes induced by having topless women present.
* Appearing to be solely built on this trope: ''DirtySexyMoney''. Most of the female characters seem to appear wandering around in underwear or bikinis for no adequately explained reason. For maximum fanservice points, though, note that Patrick Darling's {{Transsexual}} love interest (played by a real-life transgender actress) is ''not'' the recipient of this kind of treatment, and is usually shot in a generally unflattering way.
* For ''{{House}}'', you have Dr. Lisa Cuddy, who often wears low-cut tops (which are commented on by House in his [[DrJerk usual manner]]). However, the episode "House's Head" went beyond that when House, who needed to remember something he saw in a bus crash, went into a sensory deprivation tank and had a hallucination of the bus with Cuddy there. In a [[SexySchoolwoman schoolgirl outfit]]. [[YouCanLeaveYourHatOn Stripping]]. To be fair, this was in House's mind and she was [[RuleThirtyFour doing a differential diagnosis]] ''[[RuleThirtyFour while]]'' [[RuleThirtyFour stripping]].
** And for the girls and the gay men: in the Season Three premiere, House had a EurekaMoment while he was being drenched by a university fountain. ''Nice''.
*** "Painless" went all-out in the House-fanservice: he's in the bath twice -- although the first time is arguably FanDisservice, depending on what you think of his scar and his being in more pain than usual -- and in the middle of the show, his ceiling bursts with water, leaving him completely soaked through. Fun times.
*** There's an episode (the appropriately named "Distractions", if I'm not mistaken) with a ShowerScene where he's ''completely naked'', and it goes on for more time than you'd expect a nude scene in this kind of show to last. But it doesn't end there -- just in case you had any doubt that it was fanservice, there's an extremely tight and also relatively long closeup of his ''eyes'' (now that I think of it, there are eye fanservice closeups in every single episode). I re-watched that scene so many times I can barely remember the rest of the episode, and I did quite a bit of slow motion and zooming in. Shameless fanservice, but dear God... tasty, tasty, ''tasty'' fanservice.
* Speaking of HughLaurie and water-related fanservice, ''{{Jeeves and Wooster}}'' sure likes to show Bertie in the bathtub a lot...
* ''How To Look Good Naked'' is a show where women are helped to feel more confident about their bodies and have their outfits improved by fashion expert Gok Wan. They get naked. In public. Then again, the audiences are women and Gok Wan is gay, but there's no such restrictions on the viewing public...
* The second page quote is from Niamh Perry ([[TroperFanNicknames aka Goth Nancy]]), from ''I'd Do Anything''. During a comedy "mission", her joke fell flatter than a hedgehog after a steamrollering. She made said comment, lifted up her dress Can-Can style and left the stage.
* Any excuse to remove the shirts of its male characters, especially Sawyer, is taken in ''{{Lost}}''. A swim he takes in the fourth season finale apparently knocks his shirt right off.
* Some spectacular fanservice for ladies is featured in ''{{Buffy the Vampire Slayer}}'' by stripping down the mad-sexy Spike. Actor James Marsters commented that his costume for season six was "pretty much a sock."
** That's all we've got? Oh, come on. For starters, two words: leather pants. This (male) troper spent half of season two wondering why all the girls seemed so obsessed with this apparently mundane article of clothing. Then Faith turned up in season three, and it all made sense.
** Go Fish. Xander in a speedo. The other characters were pleasantly surprised. The viewers who remembered his underwear scene in the first season were just... uh... pleasant.
** Angel arrived in season three naked, then spent the next half-dozen episodes shirtless. Eventually he started wearing vests.
** The guys got a little fanservice two, notably "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered," which features Buffy in a raincoat and nothing else, and Willow in a long shirt and nothing else.
*** And two scenes of women bathing: Faith-in-Buffy in ''Who Are You?'', and Glory in ''Tough Love''.
** Two words: [[FetishFuel Vamp Willow]]
* The show ''CriminalMinds'' offers all kinds of very good fanservice -- there's Derek Morgan with the occasional prancing about shirtless, a parade of in-jokes and meta ("I never have any normal fans," complains fan-favorite Spencer Reid), and now introducing adorable, fluffy love interests for fans' favorite characters appears to be a trend.
* The Japanese drama ''YukanClub,'' which features the male leads crossdressing in two separate episodes (with one of the occasions being wedding gowns).
* In the second season, ExecutiveMeddling tried to turn ''{{Mork and Mindy}}'' into a JiggleShow. They wanted the [[{{Pettanko}} not very well endowed]] Pam Dawber to wear padded bras, which she vehemently refused (and RobinWilliams defended her). So instead they brought in guest stars like Raquel Welch and The Denver Broncos Cheerleaders, resulting in two of the most Fanservice- and FetishFuel-laden episodes ever.
** Of course, some women might say [[RobinWilliams someone else]] was already providing the Fanservice.
** This (female) Troper vividly recalls Raquel Welch's character complaining about her 'drab' uniform' "Who could look good in this?"
* The peak of ''LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'' fanservice: Elliot Stabler and Olivia Benson [[FakeOutMakeOut groping each other in their underwear]]. ItMakesSenseInContext.
** ''I want to know what episode this was.''
***It's [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildlife_%28Law_%26_Order:_Special_Victims_Unit_episode%29#Episodes "Wildlife" (episode 10008)]], in which Elliot poses as a crooked customs officer in order to infiltrate an animal-smuggling ring. Olivia pays him a visit just before the bad guys arrive. To avoid blowing his cover, she pretends to be a prostitute.
* The ''{{Legend of the Seeker}}'' has many of these, for both the men and women. Richard is frequently shown doing something that just ''must'' be done shirtless, and Kahlan's shirt are cut to just the right depth, sometimes giving a very nice... bounce.
* While ''TheLWord'' has more than its share of sex and nudity, none of it can match the blatant, shameless fanservice that is the episode "Lesbians Gone Wild!" ''Turkish oil wrestling'', people.
* ''The [[TheXFiles X-Files]]'' had two major forms of fanservice: [[HotScientist Gillian Anderson]] and [[GeekyTurnOn David Duchovny]]. The ''Pilot'' involves Agent Scully [[ItMakesSenseInContext stripping to nothing but her bra and underwear, whereupon Mulder runs his fingers over, and stares very, very intently at, her lower back]]. [[FetishFuel While the power is out and he's holding a candle]]. Did I mention that this is [[HotScientist Gillian Anderson]]?
** As the series progressed Scully managed to keep her clothes on most of the time but Mulder was frequently [[ShirtlessScene without his shirt]], or at least in one of many well-fitting t-shirts,
* Kyra Sedgwick from ''TheCloser'' dressed in nothing but a towel. Twice. Once might be unintentional; twice is not.
* In the short-lived TV series ''{{Profit}}'', Adrian Pasdar (''Series/{{Heroes}}''' Nathan Petrelli, mentioned earlier) gets naked or is seen in a towel in every. single. episode. Woof.
* Getting Rachael Stirling to smooch with her female co-star in ''Boy Meets Girl'' is partly justified since it's a FreakyFriday plot and she's playing the male character, but here the [[SuddenlySexuality suddenly lesbian]] friend comes on to her for an in-universe GirlOnGirlIsHot moment.
* Face it, JossWhedon is absolutely ''famous'' for this. It took all of about four episodes for ''{{Dollhouse}}'' get its own FetishFuel page.
** As long as that?
* Early in the second episode of ''{{Fortysomething}}'', Paul runs out of the house to chase after Estelle's car in nothing but a towel. Then the neighbor's dog runs up to him. And runs off. With the towel. Leaving us with a view of HughLaurie, in the middle of the street, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AynUOuzN9BM completely naked.]] Made doubly awkward (for him) by the fact that he was also that episode's director.
* The season 8 finale of ''AmericanIdol'' is a clinic in fanservice. So far we've had ZettaiRyouiki done right from Alexis Grace (and done ''wrong'' by Megan Joy Corkrey), and not only did they bring back the infamous "Bikini Girl" Katrina Darrell (who apparently got [[GagBoobs implants]] since being eliminated from the show during Hollywood week), but judge Kara [=DioGuardi=] came on stage and performed with her -- revealing a bikini of her own at the end of the number.
* Season one of ''{{Primeval}}'' had the excuse (and we use the word in the most ridiculous way possible) of Abby walking around wearing only her underwear because she had to turn the thermostat up to keep her pet lizard warm. Helen Cutter had the slightly better excuse that she usually time travelled to eras which had a hotter climate, and Jenny Lewis just liked looking like a tart.
* Animal Planet's ''Animal Cops Miami'' features many, ''many'' gratuitous shots of thickly populated Miami beaches, though it may just be to provide viewers with a nice break from stories and graphic images of abused animals.
* Jessica from ''TrueBlood'' , a former church-mouse, sleeps in Victoria Secret's underwear, and let us say the camera likes to linger on her graceful curves as she wakes up.
* When this troper saw the adverts for the ''iCarly'' episode "[=iFight=] Shelby Marx", all I could see was fanservice. Two really hot chicks wearing almost nothing for tops fighting in the middle of an octagon. Either that's fanservice or I'm mixing it up with "fetish fuel".
* From what I've heard, ''GreysAnatomy'' is basically ''ER'' with fanservice, most famously of Dr. [=McDreamy=] wearing just a towel... barely.
* Abby from ''{{NCIS}}''. Just, Abby.
** And for the ladies, there's shirtless Tony, Mcgee, and Jimmy Palmer, IN THE SAME EPISODE. TELL ME that isn't fanservice.
* In ''{{Titus}}'', a few episodes had CynthiaWatros wearing a top that exposed more of her ample endowments than they covered.
* ''{{Dexter}}'' features several of these moments. In the first case, it's justified because hookers really do dress in a skimpy manner. In the various sex scenes in the show, it's usually either sweet and/or emotionally intense, making said scenes both romantic and fanservicey at the same time. This trope is, however, brutally subverted at the very end of season one: we see an attractive woman's naked body from multiple angles as she's being choked, murdered and chopped up.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NRzd7x9pgY THIS]] is an example of NostalgiaFilter, CrowningMomentOfAwesome and FanService all at once. [[spoiler: YES, that is the same guy who played Kamen Rider Black/RX all those years ago.]]

[[folder:Music]]
* Britney Spears' entire career is built on it. "Well, sweetie, daddy's horny, so let's buy you another concert tape!"
* Mariah Carey.
* Kylie Minogue.
* Madonna -- one should not wear a see-through top at fifty.
* Hannah Montana/Mylie Cyrus -- wholesome-style 16 year olds shouldn't be poledancing on ice cream trucks.
* I can't ''believe'' no one's brought up the entirety of J-Rock. Most notably, the onstage stunts by Dir En Grey and Gackt's downright infamous Vanilla live. Honestly, though, it's what the whole genre is practically ''built on!''
** Oh hell yes. This is lampshaded in [[http://maiyeng.deviantart.com/art/Bz-fan-comic-41-p2-19331874 this brilliant fan comic]] about the hot singer of B'z contemplating the appropriacy of fanservice in his age.
* Shakira. Watch the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ef9CI0qXA3o&feature=related Pure Intuition]] video, for example.
* The video to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWs4abqdwZ0 Cabin Crew - Star To Fall]]. Dancing {{stripperific}} stewardesses, lol. Also, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c1Y34vgrI8 Sunset Strippers - Falling Stars]].

It opens with a picture of some ''GirlsBravo'' character {{Gainaxing}} ([[SharmHedgehog I]] [[OrSoIHeard wouldn't know, I don't watch it]]). The article contains, as an example, "List of Youtube Poop characters who like boobs" and "List of Youtube Poopers who like boobs". It's quite interesting to see their erm... thoughts on the article.

* There are many factors people point to when discussing the decline in popularity of Women's Tennis from its Chris Everett/Martina Navratilova-led peak. One is the move away from [[PantyShot flash-prone]] pleated skirts and towards more modest boy-leg style bloomers. What's the point of all those hot Russian teenagers and twenty-somethings if they don't flash the goods with every serve?
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* The ''[[DungeonsAndDragons Dungeons & Dragons]]'' games have very fanservicey art of about [[MostGamersAreMale three-quarters of all depictions of females]]. The art for succubi, nymphs, or dryads in the various ''Monster Manuals'', for example, or most elves being ridiculously well-built considering the game's own literature on the subject saying elven women are usually very slender. In one case, such {{Fanservice}} appeared on the ''cover'' of a sourcebook, with a female elven druid [[NaughtyTentacles wrapped up in tentacles]].
** The art of Larry Elmore in particular is almost all fanservice.
* There's also [[http://www.white-wolf.com/Retail/RetailDownloads/2004PDFs/7July04PDF/ExaltedSavantandSorceror.jpg this]] infamous ''Exalted'' book cover.
** More fanservice from White Wolf, in that for their 2009 April Fools joke, they faked a preview of an upcoming ''Exalted'' sourcebook, called "The Book of Swallowed Darkness". This preview was real, but there was no book it would be a part of. Inside of it? 16 pages of pornography. All about Exalted, with sex galore, and abilities to use in the game (also with sexual characteristics).
*** Terrifyingly, the book in question is technically a usable game resource and Melissa Uran's art does pretty good justice to the subject at hand. Though I'm not sure how many of us really wanted to see the Ebon Dragon getting it on....

[[folder:Theater]]
* The various outfit changes of Herbert from ''TanzDerVampire''. He's easily the most popular character with the fangirls, so the natural progression went from a feminine but still clearly vampire-ish ruffly shirt and leather pants to... well, in some productions he's wearing a black, fishnet poet shirt and a thong. Not counting the source material, in which we see him in a rather lovely leg baring nightshirt. Somehow, someone grabbed onto that and turned it up to eleven.
** And don't forget about the lovely and buxom [[MsFanservice Magda]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]
* Lara Croft from ''TombRaider'' is the archetypal ThirdPersonSeductress.
* The entire ''{{Dead or Alive}}'' series. In particular, the beach volleyball game wouldn't exist in this world if not for pleasing the Spirits of Fanservice.
* To a lesser extent, the ''{{Metroid}}'' series. Depending on how fast you complete the game, Samus will be shown in nothing more than a bikini. While this served a certain purpose in the first game (which misleads you to think Samus is a male, see SamusIsAGirl), it somewhat borders on fanservice in the later games where it's more obvious that Samus is a female.
** Also, [[LatexSpaceSuit Zero Suit Samus]], anyone?
* The ''PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'' series uses some (partly justified) fanservice when skinny little spirit channeler Maya Fay occasionally transforms into her voluptous sister Mia... while still wearing skinny little Maya's outfit. (And it still covers more than it should.) Phoenix takes advantage of this on occasion; it's amazing how some witnesses respond better to the woman with the impressive bosom than to the porcupine-headed lawyer.
** In later games, when Maya's cousin Pearl, who is ''eight years old'', occasionally summons Mia, this gets downright {{Stripperiffic}}.
*** Notably, In these moments, Mia is always conveniently angled or posed so that the player never actually sees her outrageous cleavage.
*** The manga compilation makes less attempts to keep her cleavage hidden away, even lampshading her assets in a 4koma:
---->'''Maya:''' If only I could channel just my sister's body....
* [[http://www.gamespot.com/dreamcast/action/gauntletlegends/view_image.html?id=aYQOtxlw7hqa5hHg This]].
* The ''{{Halo}}'' series has Cortana. The first game often had cutscenes that [[MaleGaze would linger behind her for several seconds]]. Did we mention she's naked, literally all the time?
** And she got noticeable curvier (and had a more feminine hairstyle) in the later games in the series? And that her role for the vast majority of Halo 3 would be to flash onscreen (oftentimes in a suggestive pose), and say something cryptic?
* The ''SuperRobotWars Original Generation'' series will occasionally have a scene where the cast goes to the beach or the pool for no other reason than just showing off the females in skimpy outfits.
** The most bizarre aspect of this: the first two games were for the GameBoyAdvance, so instead of showing you how skimpy Aya's outfit was, [[TakeOurWordForIt they would simply]] ''[[TakeOurWordForIt describe it]]''.
* There's a predecessor in the first ''Gaiden'' game. Princess Monica Gran Bilseia got caught by the {{Stripperiffic}} servant of Shu, Saphine Grace, and being the kinky woman she is, she [[BoundAndGagged tied her up (can't see the ropes) administered a ball gag to her (this one is visible).]]
* In ''SuperSmashBros'', certain "camera angles" and the addition of Zero Suit Samus could be considered... shall we say... gratuitous in certain cases.
* The ''MetalGearSolid'' series provides plenty of male fanservice mixed with HoYay.
** Of course, it also has plenty of female fanservice. EVA, I'm [[DoubleEntendre looking at you]].
*** Hell, who isn't? For this (female! straight!) troper, it was all about the Boss's big ol' [[spoiler: scars]], but they're only visible for that one scene. Also, couldn't you have just said they were there and not had to [[SpyCatsuit show us?]]
* The ''SoulCalibur'' series rolls in fanservice for both men and women. It ranges from almost subtle (all the girls gained larger... chests in ''Soul Calibur 4,'' some more obviously than others) to the annoyingly non-subtle (female created characters in ''Soul Calibur 4'' can't wear special underwear (like leggings or pants under pants) and certain types of shirts (generally the ones that aren't either tight or have absolute cleavage) at the same time, and you have to work towards giving your male characters any underwear that isn't a thong or a loincloth. When combined with [[ClothingDamage easily broken armor]] (even pants or shirts), this means that your created characters are probably going to be spending a lot of time in [[{{Stripperiffic}} stripperville]]).
* Jill Valentine's appearance in ''ResidentEvil 3'' (and subsequently transferred to ''Resident Evil: Apocalypse'') is an oft-cited example. Most female characters in the Resident Evil series are appropriately dressed, and Jill spends the first game wearing a military uniform, but shows up for the third installment wearing a tubetop and miniskirt for no plot-related reason.
** Well, she wasn't on the clock in that one. That was probably just her civilian attire.
*** Or she was looking to make a [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean Jill sandwich]].
** The Movie ''Resident Evil: Apocalypse'' justified the tube top and miniskirt by mentioning Raccoon City was in the middle of a heat wave at the time.
* In ''[[FinalFantasyX2 Final Fantasy X-2]]'', there is one of the most glaringly obvious examples of deliberate fanservice at Mount Gagazet. To paraphrase Rikku, "Oh look: inexplicable hot springs at the top of a mountain of snow and cold water! What a great opportunity to wrestle each other in our bikinis and show off for the Hypello." Come on. It only starts to get just a ''little'' creepy when you install a hidden security camera at the hot springs and then are required for OneHundredPercentCompletion to watch all the important characters bathe.
** Which is why it's doubly hilarious that Rikku's "fanservice" costume is much dowdier than most of her dresspheres (yes, I'm looking at you, Lady Luck).
** Less mentioned but even more transparent was [=LeBlanc's=] frequent appearances, displaying AbsoluteCleavage. She can't speak a line of dialog without swinging [[HartmanHips her hips]] like a metronome, simultaneously causing her [[JigglePhysics breasts to sway from side to side]]. Big lips and suggestive dialog spoken in a sexkitten voice ratchet her into a parody of FanService.
** And ''FinalFantasyX'' gives us Yunalesca, who has what is arguably the most revealing attire in the series -- a metal bra that covers about a quarter of her breast skin and a metal thong. We like to [[DisContinuity pretend]] that her [[spoiler:[[FanDisservice second and third forms]]]] don't exist.
** Lulu lives in a land back tropical-like town surrounded by water and she is dressed in [[http://www.ffcompendium.com/art/10-lulu-a.jpg this?!]] Yeah... and don't get me started on her victory pose in battle.
* ''Ar tonelico'' is filled with this. The game puts each of the three main females into several costumes, including [[{{Joshikousei}} schoolgirl uniforms,]] [[HornyDevils demons]], [[FanserviceWithASmile waitress outfits]], and [[ModestyTowel bath towels.]] Not even the {{Big Bad}} is safe from this. She's entirely naked and covered only by her [[GodivaHair hair.]] And let's not even get into all the [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything innuendo...]]
* An image of the female characters in swimwear is printed on the ''{{Tekken}} 2'' disk. Why? Why not?
* For ''{{Persona 3}}'', there is a "BeachEpisode" where the SEES members take a trip to Yakushima. The dudes are wearing trunks (except Akihiko, who is wearing a bikini bottom and a T-shirt) and the ladies are wearing bikinis. Later on, said swimwear (both male and female) can be purchased from... the police officer who runs your weapon and armor store. Somehow. There are also maid outfits and {{stripperific}} spandex suits for the three combat girls, gotten from Elizabeth's requests.
* Gloria from ''DevilMayCry 4''. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TCdA1wJBm4 Particularly in the cutscene where she's first introduced]]. Lady has also undergone an... "upgrade".
** And ''DevilMayCry 3'' starts with Dante shirtless, with an unlockable "costume" to play through the whole game shirtless.
* ''F-Zero X'' and ''{{F-Zero}} GX'' both has a tiny amount of fanservice by showing a picture of Captain Falcon without his helmet at the end of the Story Mode. Cool, no?
* From ''MassEffect'': the Asari strip club, plus the (in)famous sex scene.
* In the first two ''{{Art of Fighting}}'' games, if female characters King and Yuri are beaten with a special move (for example, Ryo's Ko'oh Ken), [[ClothingDamage their shirts will rip off]] revealing their [[strike:boobs]] bras and cleavage.
** Becomes FanDisservice for some people if their strategy involves any jumping attacks. Not everyone is turned on by a woman's bloody face, especially if said woman now looks like the precursor to a rape victim. And then again, [[FetishFuel some are]].
** And when you consider that Ryo and Yuri are [[BrotherSisterIncest brother and sister]]... and that Takuma is Yuri's DAD, the whole thing becomes a whole [[{{Squick}} lot less palatable]] if you fire it off on Yuri... and you're playing as either Ryo or Takuma.
* In the game ''YsVI'', beating the game unlocks the BossRush. The BossRush includes [[TheOneBoss The One]] BonusBoss. Beating the boss and getting to a nearly invisbible portal in the corner of the room lands you to the beach, where Olha, the main female character, shows up in a bikini (which is definitely deliberate as her race would not know the concept of bikinis). Higher difficulty level means more artworks of her with said bikini.
* I'm not sure what female gamers would have been thinking when they were playing ''[[CommandAndConquer Red Alert 3]]'', but they were probably very bemused at how much it was geared towards men. Each and every woman (which happen to be all the commandos, all the intelligence officers and half the co-commanders) is in a Stripperific costume designed to display as much skin as possible. The [[LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition Limited Edition]] even came with the "Girls of ''Red Alert 3''" poster which grouped them all together.
** This female gamer appreciated the game, thank you very much. There's a reason she builds so many Vindicators, and Giles definitely comes off as appealing...
* Fanservice unleaded: ''[=~THE iDOLM@STER~=]''.
* The ''Leisure Suit Larry'' series originally did not have much due to limited graphics, but would every so often have close ups of attractive women. Then as the series went on the and the graphics got better the fanservice became more abundant.
* In ''{{Tales of Vesperia}}'', there is a scene in which one of your party members has to seduce a guard to allow you to sneak past an area he's guarding. The player gets to chose from [[MsFanservice Judith]], Estelle or [[CuteShotaroBoy Karol]](!!)... and the character then dresses up in a skimpy outfit to lure the guard away. Judith's outfit is the most blatant -- she wears [[{{Meido}} a maid headdress]], [[PlayboyBunny rabbit ears]], ''[[FetishFuel and]]'' [[HadakaApron a tiny apron]].
* Every non-elderly female character in a ''{{Jak and Daxter}}'' game who actually gets a name will inevitably wear something ludicrously scanty (OK, except Rayn, but she's still wearing pretty form-fitting clothes). Ashelin, despite being a BadassNormal ActionGirl in the [[XtremeKoolLetterz Krimzon Guard]], doesn't actually wear armour like her troops, instead preferring small amounts of red and blue fabric. As a matter of fact, her pants go so low that her underwear shows. And then there's Keira and Tess.
** To be even ''more'' severe, a character model viewer was introduced at the end of ''Jak III''. This permits you to do such things as rotate Tess to face away from you and then simply stare at her backside... OrSoIHeard.
** Don't forget Taryn from [[GaidenGame Daxter]]
** Seem is an aversion: she's a flat-chested monk who is mistaken for a boy by both fans and Daxter, but [[WordOfGod the commentary]] confirms that she ''is'' a girl. The official guide says that she's young, so she may just need a growth spurt.
***In fact, she was originally scripted to be male, which explains Daxter's line and why she didn't correct him: they had already recorded the dialogue before making her female, and didn't bother changing it.
* In ''SamuraiShodown VI'', Iroha's special attack involves her getting her opponent behind two shoji doors, stripping naked and then beating up the enemy. Yeah...
* In the terrible, TERRIBLE INXS make my video for the Sega CD, a girl at a bar agrees to show up in a "whipped cream bikini" for a poindexter if he makes a good INXS video. As of yet, few know if she goes through with it.
* Morrigan, MsFanservice for ''{{Darkstalkers}}'', pretty much requires no explanation. Felicia is pretty much naked. Lei Lei has a "window" in her shirt. The only exceptions seem to be [[{{Lolicon}} Lilith, B.B. Hood]] and Q. Bee, but of course, that depends [[RuleThirtySix on whether you're into that sort of thing or not]]. And of course, there's Demitri's signature [[GenderBender "Midnight Bliss"]] attack, which turns the men into women and the women into "cuter" versions of themselves. For example, Rikuo becomes a mermaid with GodivaHair, Donovan becomes a female version of himself with the same outfit, and Demitri himself turns into something similar to Morrigan. This extends to Demitri's appearances in crossover titles, such as in ''SNK VS Capcom''.
*Possibly the sumo scene in ''{{Twilight Princess}}'' where Link is shown topless. This is quickly followed by another (equally topless) more traditional Sumo Wrestler which might negate the fan service.
*Poison Ivy in ''BatmanArkhamAsylum''. Nothing says fanservice like a tight shirt and leaves for panties.
*I-No of ''GuiltyGear'' wears a top... but [[http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters2/inowinposeani.gif who says she LIKES wearing it?]]
*Val from ''FarCry.'' Not only the requisite skimpy outfit, but an off-screen bathing-in-the-waterfall scene in which she admonishes Jack not to watch.

* [[http://rpgworldcomic.com/d/20010729.html This]] ''RPGWorld'' comic [[LampshadeHanging hangs a lampshade]] on it (note the title of the strip).
** Same with [[http://rpgworldcomic.com/d/20030420.html this one]].
* Despite the fact it isn't heavy on this kind of content, ''ElGoonishShive'' has been guilty of providing fanservice of female characters (referred to as "cheesecake" within the fandom) from time to time, especially in [[FillerStrips fillers]]. [[http://www.egscomics.com/sketchbook/?date=2005-11-05 This (filler) strip]] is probably the most blatant example. The main storyline of the comic actually contains very little fanservice, especially when compared to many other webcomics. However, there are a few instances featuring beefcake (the male version) as well. Considering the author is male, this makes a reasonable balance.
** [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2005-04-23 This]] prolonged transformation sequence is definitely fanservice for EGS's target audience.
* The comic ''GirlGenius'' is guilty of many, many gratuitous Agatha-in-her-underwear scenes, as well as selling calendar posters of the popular male and female characters taking baths.
** In keeping with the setting, it ''is'' Victorian-era underwear, so a good deal less is revealed than would otherwise be the case.
** Bangladesh Dupree got a nude (if minimally revealing) calendar.
** They also showed they were equal opportunity by having several pages featuring Gil wearing nothing more than a few bandages and a blanket... that is after he was reminded of his au-natural state.
*** One secondary character returned halfway through Book 8 in nothing but a sheet, and has stayed that way for the remainder of his appearances right up to the present.
** A recent piece of [[FetishFuel mad science chick]] [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090828 fanservice]] got noticed by one of the other characters (see Gil's expression in the corner).
** To be honest, the Foglios do this with pretty much anything they can get their hands on. Louisa Dem Five from ''BuckGodotZapGunForHire'', the "Sex and D&D" RunningGag in ''What's New With Phil and Dixie'', the numerous out-and-out porno comics...
* The prequel book ''On the Origins of [=PCs=]'' of ''{{The Order of the Stick}}'' lampshades this (along with just about everything else) with a gratuitous bath scene involving Haley. Aside from the fact that this is fanservice involving ''stick figures'', Haley outright complains that they can't get a good fanservice scene when she is interrupted in mid-bath.
** For a straighter example of the trope from OOTS, Haley's [[EvilTwin counterpart]] Sabine is particularly bad at this, one time spending a lengthy battle sequence wearing a schoolgirl costume-despite being a shapeshifter who could change her clothes into something more appropriate with a thought. This is lampshaded by explaining that she's doing it so that her boyfriend Nale will be aroused by the sight of her killing the hero in said outfit.
** And now there's [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0622.html this strip]].
** [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0653.html This strip]] features resident skelly-lover Tsukiko in lingerie.
** While they had their, uh, ''li'l sticks'' covered with pixelation, the only two characters to actually be completely naked during the course of the online strip are Elan and Roy -- both male. Of course, given that the men in OOTS have rectangular bodies, the effect is significantly diminished.
** Don't forget the fanservice threads in the forums! One poster rendered hottie-Paladin Hinjo naked, sitting on the throne with a rose in his mouth and a grin.
* Another Lampshade (especially for the ladies) happens in this ''[[http://bukucomics.com/loserz/index.php?comicID=63 Loserz]]'' strip.
* If you were not yet convinced that ''{{TwoKinds}}'' ''is'' fanservice, [[http://twokinds.comicgenesis.com/d/20080324.html this strip]] will remove any doubts.
* Plenty of it in ''{{Misfile}}''. Particularly noteworthy is [[http://www.misfile.com/index.php?page=765 this]] sequence which runs for ''seventeen pages''.
* Done from time to time in ''SluggyFreelance'', but it's especially prevalent during the Erica Henderson filler strips.
* If ''[=~Ménage à 3~=]'' started as an only slightly fanservice-y comic about a guy and two girls, it then got progressively more daring up to the recent female masturbation scene (the comic doesn't show the juiciest anatomic parts... yet).
* A fanservice-y [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1303 Christmas strip]] in ''QuestionableContent''.
* [[http://www.jaydenandcrusader.com/2009/04/06/page-117/ This page]] of Jayden and Crusader
* Quite often in ''{{Terinu}}'', what with shirtless furries, Gwen in her [[FetishFuel Exotic Dancer Barbie]] outfit, to a butt shot of the title character ''in the shower''. Oh, and he was raised in a cabaret staffed entirely by beautiful women.
* Another FurryComic, ''ComingUpViolet'' has had its fanservicy moments too, epitomized with two [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/bdaniel/violet/series.php?view=archive&chapter=32409 consecutive]] [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/bdaniel/violet/series.php?view=archive&chapter=32450 strips]] featuring some of the characters in swimming clothes.
* This is ''at least'' half the point of ''LeastICouldDo''.
* ''[[http://www.katbox.net/laslindas/ Las Lindas]]'' wouldn't exist without it.
** Neither would the bonus arcs.
* [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/ The Whiteboard]] has been known to do this for April Fool's Day.
* ''ChessPiece'' has loads of this. To wit: [[http://neoyi.deviantart.com/art/GW-Phantom-For-Merida-127372084 this]], [[http://neoyi.deviantart.com/art/I-touch-and-I-kiss-94732358 this]] and [[YouCanLeaveYourHatOn OMG]] [[http://neoyi.deviantart.com/art/Only-a-Hat-91151950 THIS]]!
* Er, ''The Meek'', anyone?

* The description of the Joker Jammies at the end of chapter 23 of sometimes disturbing metafic [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5180337/23/Dear_Joker Dear Joker]]. Read what the Joker says they are and ''try'' telling me that it's not fanservice. [[spoiler:For the uninitiated Joker fangirls in the audience, it's essentially Nolanverse Joker. In the nude.]] And of course he thinks he looks good in them.

[[folder:Web Original]]
* From Season 2 onwards, there's been a gradual increase in the amount of fanservice in ''{{lonelygirl15}}'', with Jonas appearing [[ShirtlessScene shirtless]] on a regular basis, occasionally without explanation, and Sarah revealing so much cleavage that some fans actually complained. If that wasn't enough, there are also episodes such as "Backyard Bikini Patrol" which is exactly what it sounds like. And the least said about [[StrappedToAnOperatingTable "Girl Tied Up"]], the better.
** Sarah and Jonas also star in a SpinOff series, ''[=~LG15: the resistance~=]'', providing them with yet more fanservice opportunities.
* The ''AwesomeSeries'' makes fun of it in "Dead or Awesome: Extreeeeme":
-->'''Character:''' So, do you want to me to wear this elaborate bathing suit that shows off none of my body ooooooorrrrrr... this one that's just a bunch of strings.\\
'''Gamers:''' ''Isn't it obvious!?''
* Lots of fanservice in ''GaiaOnline'', aimed at both genders. In fact, there have been plot updates and items devoted to nothing but fanservice. (The "Gun Show" update, and the Alurna's Rose item come to mind).
* ''BrokenSaints'' featured a ''lot'' of shirtless Oran and shirtless Gabriel. The only service the guys (well, and lesbians) get is a couple shots of hot strippers in Mars' club.
** And one of the strippers is wearing ''leg-warmers''.

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* Season three of ''{{Avatar the Last Airbender}}'' upped the regular kind of fanservice (nicely gender-balanced) to eleven and then [[IncendiaryExponent lit it on fire]]. Abundant {{Shirtless Scene}}s for all male main characters, plenty of occasions for [[LittleBlackDress Katara]] to "show off" (up to and including nude bathing), a BeachEpisode (featuring some ''very'' revealing outfits for the three [[EvilIsSexy female villains]]), a [[FetishFuel mud-wrestling scene]], and more {{Ship Tease}}s than the fanfiction writers can keep up with.
** While most of the Season 3 fanservice is [[RefugeInAudacity audacious]] enough to border on parody. A relatively "normal" example would be the episode "The Southern Raiders", whose major purpose was to give two characters the opportunity to run around [[FetishFuel cosplaying as]] {{Ninja}}s.
* Almost any interaction between Kim and Shego in the more recent episodes of ''KimPossible''. This culminated in the Season 4 episode "Stop Team Go", which showcases Kim and Shego as what fans dream of, [[HoYay good friends]]... and also retained this [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Kim_Shego_stop-team-go.jpg scene]]. To no surprise, it became one of the series' most popular episodes. Make note that the producers have demonstrated with great regularity they are very aware of, not to mention [[UnCanceled responsive]] to, their fervent fan base.
** Also, another episode had them actually fight in a mud bath.
** For that matter, Shego on her own seems to be quite fond of showing off -- one piece, always -- bathing suits. Of course, being the only recurring female character that's not a minor, someone's mom, or very obese helps.
* In ''BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', Harley and Ivy, in their eponymous episode, spend a considerable deal of time in panties. Harley might owe her popularity to that moment. Bruce Timm, creator of the series, keeping his drawing style, has done hundreds of pin-up pictures of the most popular girls in comics.
* On ''{{WITCH}}''... well, take your pick. You a {{Pettanko}} fetishist? Like redheads? How about breast expansion? Well then you got Wilhelmina ("Will") Vandom, a flat MoeMoe redhead who uses her Guardian form to make her breasts grow. But if you want "Moe Clasic" then you have Hay Lin, a gorgeous ([[AsianAirhead but stupid]]) Asian girl who is cute, petite, comes pre-Woobiefied, a {{Pettanko}} and she does the BreastExpansion gig too. If tall, leggy, big-breasted blondes are your cup o' tea, meet Cornelia Hale, the second biggest and most overtly sexually intemidating of the girls. If you're going for ''sheer size'' Irma Lair comes equipped with a hot tan and D-cups, grows even bigger as a Guardian, and ''loves'' BreastExpansion. Taranee Cook is a beautiful {{Meganekko}} with a butt so big it borders on parody and could satiate any [[BabyGotBack rump fetishist]]. Or do you like cougars? Good, cause Susan Vandom, mother of Will, combines HotShounenMom, GagBoobs and a tight sweater nicely, Narissa is your picture perfect tall, busty, raven-haired [[TheVamp vamp]], and the older Guardians clean up (and [[MostCommonSuperpower inflate]]) nicely when in their youthful forms. Let's not even start on the LesYay, fetishistic scenes, skimpy costumes, GlamOfShazam BreastExpansion in ''every'' episode, and suchlike...
* In the ''JusticeLeagueUnlimited'' episode "Dark Heart", Wonder Woman puts the Atom between her breasts to be able to fight. In "Hunter's Moon" Vixen teases John Stewart with her breasts, and in "I Am Legion" Hawkgirl mentions to Flash that Fire (who later flirts with him) might [[LesYay have the hots for Ice]].
** "Mentions" is a strong word. It's more insuated via GettingCrapPastTheRadar, but still.
** JLU's Black Canary also seemed to be of the belief that the best way to prep for a fight was to remove her jacket -- leaving her only in a bustier and sheer hose. Not that I have ''any'' complaints with that at all, mind you...
* In the early ''TheRealGhostbusters'' episodes, Janine Melnitz has a few comic fanservice moments, like when she wears a tiny bikini at work because of the hot weather (showing both a lack of shyness and taste), when she crosses a crowd and asks a man to "watch the hands!", and when she is shown in the shower.
* In ''TheVentureBros.'', Molotov Cocktease is walking fanservice with massive [[AbsoluteCleavage absolute cleavage]] that goes below the navel in the front and a butt-clevage in the back. Doctor Girlfriend has several fanservice moments, teasing the Monarch, Phantom Limb and Brock Samson with {{Stripperiffic}} outfits.
* Probably the only reason ''TotallySpies!'' survived as long as it did was all the fanservice and FetishFuel.
* Periodically and openly illustrated to be the whole point of Foxxy and Clara on ''DrawnTogether''. Well, that and making fun of blacks and Catholics, or at best the stereotypes thereof, or somethin'.
* Every major (and a couple of minor) character on ''{{Futurama}}'' has appeared totally nude one at least one occasion. However, some of these appearances could be considered FanDisservice given that this list includes The Professor, Hermes, and, yes, Zoidberg (which in his case also means ''shell-less'').
** ''Bender's Big Score'' even came with an ad for a nude beach volleyball poster featuring the show's cast, and they joked on the DVDCommentary that they were going to ramp up the nudity levels.
* Grown-up [=AndrAIa=] ''and'' Matrix (grown-up Enzo) in ''{{ReBoot}}'' season 3 and 4. "OK, adult viewers, male and female, we're no longer constrained by ABC's BS&P department -- here are your rewards for your support!" Not that Bob, Dot, Mouse, and Ray Tracer don't have their share of fans.
* ''CodeLyoko'' has liberal fanservice of both amounts. In terms of the more popular definition, nearly all main characters of both genders have been seen in underwear, towels, and swimsuits, and some have even had shower/bath scenes, albeit with the CensorSteam. A bit unusual... especially for an action show aimed at the 6-12 demographic. Oh, and did we mention that ''none of it'' is cut in the English dub?
** The sound effects that the characters make when running through Lyoko doesn't exactly help this either.
** There's also an episode in which Yumi is attacked by a tree, with [[NaughtyTentacles rapidly growing roots that go under her shirt]]...
* Not much fanservice in ''{{King of the Hill}}'', but one episode does have a prominent (no pun intended) example. In the episode "Peggy Hill: the Decline and Fall", while Nancy and Minh are trying to console Peggy, Nancy's shirt is a bit more open than usual, clearly showing off her breasts for no particular reason. This was probably to give Peggy another reason to be angry at her body cast-having situation, not that the Nancy-loving fanboys are interested in that.
** Not to mention she's been shown in the skimpiest bikini imaginable on at least a couple occasions, and totally nude in one of Hank's Propane fantasies.
** Luanne's been in more than her fair share of Fanservice-y outfits, yet somehow it never feels gratuitous or out of place for her character. John Redcorn has been shirtless a good number of times as well.
* For the ''many'' fangirls of ''DannyPhantom'', "Eye for an Eye" created an uproar for showing off naked [[ShirtlessScene Vlad and Danny]]. Season Three also showed a hell of a lot of Danny-in-underwear for the numerous Danny fangirls out there. And for all the boys, we get Sam in a [[EvilIsSexy tight, Poison Ivy-ish outfit]].
* From ''StormHawks'': Naked (but concealed) Stork in "Stratosphere", Stork in his underwear in "The Lesson", Aerrow in "Escape"....
* ''BeastMachines'' had quite a lot of non-sexual fanservice for ''{{Transformers}}'' {{geek}}s - classic [[TransformersGeneration1 Generation 1]] {{plot device}}s such as the Key to Vector Sigma, Plasma Energy Chamber, and HatePlague all came to play important roles in the plot. Blackarachnia's SheFu is a more normal for of fanservice.

* Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's choice of young, attractive females -- some with little or no political experience -- to serve both in ministerial positions and as candidates to represent the party in the 2009 European Parliament elections and later "relationship" with barely legal Neapolitan hottie Noemi Letizia can both be seen as a form of fan service considering that these women were trotted out in public despite the controversy.
* French President's Nicolas Sarkozy marriage of Italian supermodel Carla Bruni shortly after being elected to his office.
