Rule Thirty Four - Television Tropes & Idioms

alt title(s): Rule34; Rule36; Rule Thirty Six

The Web brings people together because no matter what kind of a twisted sexual mutant you happen to be, you've got millions of pals out there. Type in 'Find people that have sex with goats that are on fire' and the computer will say, 'Specify type of goat.'

—Richard Jeni

As the infamous musical number from Avenue Q tells us, "The Internet Is For Porn". This isn't that far off.

Say you have a movie, or a TV show, or a video game, or a comic book, or some other visual medium that proves popular. Ultimately, a Fandom will be built around it. Now, generally, it's a good bet that a substantial number of those fans are living their lives on MUCKs and other web outlets for their love of the medium. Also, some of the fanbase may harbor a Perverse Sexual Lust for some of your characters — even if they were too young for such thoughts before watching the medium. As such, after a while, their interest in it may become darker, their thoughts turning towards more risqué items of note... and they will start putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and write, draw, or render their fantasies for everyone to see.

Formulated in the dank depths of the 4chan imageboard, this is Rule 34 of the Internet, the ubiquitous knowledge that somewhere, some small group of your franchise's fandom is probably getting their rocks off at porn of your characters.

This may or may not be a problem, depending on the circumstances; most Fan Art and Fan Fiction, in general, are posted free of charge, so unless the owner of the franchise in question fears such scandalous depictions of their life's work damaging the franchise's and the owners' public image, it's presumed to be better for them to just let it slide instead of suing for copyright infringement. After all, if the fans like your stuff enough to have those kinds of thoughts about it, then they're obviously the kind of fans you want to keep to ensure your medium's success, right? And it's not like they're going to stop making such pictures or stories, even with a court order over their head.

Of course, sometimes a fandom can go too far with this rule, which ultimately damages their public image regardless of how widespread the practice really is. And, if the fandom and the medium are both widely known enough publicly, there's always the threat of the Media Watchdogs coming in with threats of censors and sanctions against the medium itself for the creations of the fans. But that's just a real-life example of Viewers Are Morons, on both sides of the coin.

This is, of course, nothing new.

It's just that now, in the Communication Age, all of humanity's dirty little secrets are coming out into the open. Add Memetic Mutation to that dynamic, and you get what could be considered either a revolution or a moral crisis of epic proportions. Often leads one to reach for the Brain Bleach. It depends on your point of view. Beauty is, after all, in the eye of the beholder.

Some of the examples of Rule 34 may be explained (if that's the right word) by Rule 36: "If you've thought of it, there's somebody out there with a fetish for it." Lesbians. Pregnant women. Giants. Cannibalism. Centaurs. Balloon animals. And, of course, Giant Pregnant Inflatable Cannibal Lesbian Centaurs. Yes.

See also Fetish Fuel and Power Perversion Potential if you really wanna blow your mind. You may wish to keep a bottle of Brain Bleach handy. Or not. Basically, if you're on the internet long enough you'll be turned on by Anything That Moves. (or not, statue fetish anyone?)

Be warned: pretty much every outside link on this page is NSFW.

Not to be confused with the Other Wiki's Rule 34

Examples:

At one point, Iron Chef had its own section in Fanfiction.net. All ten or so fics for it were slash.
Disney is a notorious example of a corporation actively against Rule Thirty Four, or any other "unauthorized" use of their characters, for that matter; woe be a fan artist who makes a similar character to one of theirs, or any day care centers who have unapproved murals of their characters on their walls, as they have been known to file lawsuits against such "offenders".
- An infamous (and probably apocryphal) story from the early days of the studio tells of a staff party where a cartoon was shown of Mickey and Minnie Mouse in an x-rated scene. Afterwards, Walt chuckled along with everyone else, invited the two guys who made the cartoon to come up and be recognized... and then fired them on the spot and ordered the film destroyed.
- Other versions of the story suggest that it was Snow White and her dwarfs having an orgy in the film which was shown at Uncle Walt's birthday party.
  - Minnie and Mickey did appear in a few Tijuana Bibles and Snow White, Jasmine, Ariel and Jessica Rabbit are favorite targets of internet porn maestro Julius Zimmerman.
- In one variation of the story, the x-ratedness was limited to a single cel, which of course Walt had no trouble spotting.
  - One popular variation has the gentlemen sneaking a single frame of regular pornography into the reel to see how phenomenal Walt's vision was. Walt spots it, but only slightly chastises the animators, joking "You know, if she weren't naked, I wouldn't have seen her."
- This is in fact famous enough to get a snopes page (where it is rated "undetermined")
- Equally infamous is the story of author Harlan Ellison's one and only day working for Disney; Ellison himself tells the story with his trademark mix of humor and outrage. According to him, the day started very promisingly but ended immediately after a lunch where he joked about (and acted out) a hypothetical Mickey Mouse porn film.
- Interestingly, Disney chose not to sue The Realist or Wally Wood when he did his infamous Disneyland Memorial Orgy (the image, while not showing explicit depictions of genitalia, is probably not worksafe), on the feeling that it was probably protected as parody (as well as the possibility that the lawsuit would bring unwanted publicity). They did, however, sue the poster company selling unauthorized copies of Wood's work.
- A Beauty And The Beast porn fic broke the brain of the reviewer at Godawful Fan Fiction enough that he or she could only post things like "...but he's a candle!"
- Gadget from Chip And Dale Rescue Rangers has been the subject of pornographic drawings so often that more serious fans of hers and of the show started a protest movement named Rangerphiles Against Gadget Erotica.
- Supposedly, some animators at Disney actually draw this kind of stuff in their free time at work and joke about it. Unlike the examples above, however, they're smart enough to keep it to themselves and their co-workers.
- The underground comic book Weirdo reproduced a pornographic mock Sunday funnies page by the Flintstones comic strip artist done in his free time.
- There is a lot of Kim Possible art out there. But as a kickass athletic young cheerleader with the personal motto "I can do anything!", this was frankly inevitable.
  - On a related topic, when your professor asks you to look for pictures of naked mole rats make sure to have safe search on. Kim Possible doing it with Rufus he already has and is not the school criteria he was looking for.
- Joseph Michael Linsner, in his Dawn & Beyond collectible art card set, included two Disney pieces. The first, a topless Ariel seen by a pop-eyed Sebastian is fairly tame. The second, Beauty getting molested by Beast with Limiere as a vibrator looking on is rather less so. Disney went after Linsner, and the set was recalled and is now sold without those two pieces included.
- Speaking of Disney, there is a rather uncomfortable amount of Bolt x Mittens porn hanging around.
- While not Disney, a similar incident happened between Dreamworks Studios and the Furry Fandom, over this: one well-known incident involved an artist named Klaus Doberman, who was given a cease and desist order from Dreamworks over his Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron porn, forcing him to pull all of his art down and vow never to repost any fan art of his, again. He even went so far as to post a copy of the letter on his Yahoo Group, as proof. Some companies just can't let it go...
On the flip-side of the coin, Japanese manga and anime artists and companies have very little qualms about fans making erotic doujinshi of their worlds, or even selling them; in fact, many famous manga and anime artists started their careers doing just that, and some of them still dabble in the pastime. This is buffered by the very low print runs of such work.
- On the note of many famous manga and anime artists originally working in the doujinshi industry, CLAMP is notable for doing such. What did they market in? It's best not to know.
- And then we have Miss Maki Murakami. Gravitation remixes...each more explicit than the last. Not to mention Gamerz Heaven. Yeah.
- According to some sources, the second season of Shinkon Gattai Godannar had to resolve funding problems by selling doujinshi of Godannar characters.
- Hellsing creator Kouta Hirano started off as a hentai artist — and most of the characters in Hellsing are actually recycled from his previous works.
- There is a (while not porn, not work safe) Sonic The Hedgehog anthropomorphic Gender Bender doujin written by Koshi Rikudo.
- Koharu Biyori's omake at the end of volume 1 features the guy unsuspectingly buying hentai featuring himself with his robot maid because his friend couldn't make it to the con and asked him to load up. He never actually reads it, but his robot girl maid does.
- Kyoto Animation recently lampshaded the practice with a Shout Out to one of their other works. An episode of Lucky Star had the girls going to Comiket, a real-life doujinshi convention, with Konata marking all the tables she wanted to see. In the real Comiket of that year, all those tables sold Suzumiya Haruhi hentai. What's even worse is that she recruited her friends to pick up these doujinshi for her, including titles such as Dripping Brigade Chief.
  - This is only funnier when you remember who voices Konata.
- Rei Hiroe, creator of the succesfull manga series Black Lagoon, openly makes hentai doujins under the pseudonym Tex-Mex. Apperently he does so just for fun, but never does any based on his own work. However he has puplished two worksafe artbooks in doujin format about characters from the Black Lagoon series under said pseudonym, with the first one being simply about how he designed the characters and the other being a swimsuit special.
  - In an ironic twist, because of publishing them under the name Tex-Mex, these artbooks have found their way into the lists of hentai manga despite being totally worksafe.
  - In one of his swimsuit illustrations, Hiroe even invites readers to draw erotic scenes about Roberta.
- Kiyohiko Azuma, author of such decidedly family-viewing-safe, and even wholesome entertainment as Azumanga Daioh and Yotsubato, got his start doing erotic and non-erotic fan doujinshi; mostly under the pen name Jōji Jonokuchi.
Hell, even tropers have their rule 34s. In this sophisticated comment on the false image that internet people project◊, TV Tropes itself is made fappable.
- As if it wasn't fapable allready! Uh...forget I said that.
Predating the internet, I came across Star Trek porn fiction and drawings in a fanzine in 1975. I got in trouble for possessing it too, as I was only a wee kid at the time. Personally I preferred the actual stories, as the porn stories were IKEA Porn.
- Dalek porn first turned up (that we know of) in 1978 when companion Jo Grant (okay, actress Katy Manning) was photographed naked sitting on one.
There is a certain Image Board with a section dedicated to challenges on this matter; they will attempt track down pornographic images of anything. In most cases, if they can't find one, they will make it. Another site dedicated to collecting examples of Rule Thirty Four has managed to amass a bit over 350,000 images.
- I take it one of these sites is the one on which the self-proclaimed "shithole of the Internet" can be found?
- Dinosaurs, dragons, and cars. The only other thing I'll say about it is that it got suddenly popular.
  - Yes, there's straight and slash porn fiction for ALL major Cars characters, and slash fiction and highly suggestive straight fan art for Speed Buggy himself. No links to the stuff here, Google it yourself. Your innocent memories of these characters will be trashed forever. You have been warned.
Fred Gallagher of Megatokyo once said that if he found Megatokyo porn, he would quit producing the comic. He later understood that he had given too powerful a weapon for anybody who didn't like the comic, and changed his mind. That may have been a wise decision on his part (NSFW).
Genshiken has this rule come up more than a few times, as its cast consists largely of otaku. Saki suffers a bit of a meltdown on learning there are hentai doujinshi of everything early on.
- An example of the degree to which this can get carried is also present: Since fair use provisions in Japanese copyright law are much different from those of the US, frequently all references to other anime will need to be bleeped out of the dialog. Since Genshiken revolves around a college otaku club, to avoid having to do this, the writers created a fictional anime named Kujibiki Unbalance that was chock-full of anime tropes and clichés in order to describe anime as a whole. Several of the Genshiken episodes are devoted to the craft of creating, publishing, and selling a ero-doujinshi of this fictional anime. As an example of life imitating art, now Kujibiki Unbalance is actually a real anime and manga, and every conceivable Slash Fic and hentai doujinshi featuring its characters are already being published.
Through some mishap of how search engines work, the webcomic Mac Hall somehow got associated with Digimon porn. This resulted in a large number of people coming to the site for this exact purpose. As a joke, the writer posted a few spoofs to make fun of this. ...which resulted in Internet Search engines and furry sites associating them with Digimon porn even more. Then there was one last indignity that just made it look like the universe has it in for them.
Given the height of Pokémon's popularity at one point, that there would be porn of it isn't too surprising. However, you are allowed to be surprised/disturbed by the fact that porn exists for every single species - all 493 of them, not counting interspecies or the trainers of all ages! Now that is Rule 34 in action.
- Turn off safe search and do a Google image search for "Missingno", then turn safe search back on and cry.
- The Pokemon Gold/Silver games introduced Pokemon breeding into the games, wherein you could leave 2 compatible Mons at a center to "do the nasty" and make an egg. By either coincidence or design, the breeding center was located on....Route 34.
  - And in the remakes of Gold/Silver, wild Ralts sometimes swarm on Route 34 after getting the National Dex. One of Ralts's final stages is Gardevoir, a very frequent Pokemon 34 target.
- One of the more bizarre pairings out there is a fan comic in which Ash captures and has sex with... Demona. From Gargoyles. Yeah, I don't get it either.
- A particularly funny Rule34 meme concerning Pokemon is scripting sex with movenames like a battle-script, like Harden, Pound, Bounce, Sweet Kiss, Lick, and others like that.
  - It doesn't help that you can actually do this in the game with secret phrases and the like.
In fact, many Nintendo games are targets.
- Let's not get started on Zelda OOT selfcest, or Twilight Princess furry porn. And that's when they are not attempting a crossover with Okami...
How about poor Samus? She's even been made "getting it on" with her arch-rival, Ridley.
- For clarification, Ridley is a large biomechanical alien dragon. There's a size difference.
  - ...depicted here [1]◊
- There's also a fairly well-known Flash game out there that involves doing "it" with Midna, If You Know What I Mean.
  - And it's not even her in her real form. The game is basically Link screwing a baby-sized Imp. Or So I Heard.
  - ... It's true.
- I've enclosed a jewel to help protect you. Most erotic line in the game, eh? Eh?
This gets particularly bad with regards to Transformers. There are perfectly serviceable audience-surrogate human characters... but no, pretty much always the robots themselves being the victims of yaoi fangirls, despite some of them transforming in ways that... You know what? We're better off changing the subject very, very quickly.
- You have a problem with robot love?◊
  - No, I have a problem with people who forget that someone's crotch has to split in half in order for them to transform. Can't help but think that'd be painful.
- It's even more disturbing when the creators themselves make it and leak it to the public. After all, how else are we supposed to learn about Dinobot's rigid grill structure◊?
The webcomic Chugworth Academy is an unusual example, as most of the pornography based off it was drawn by the original artist, Scribblekid (who had an interest in pornographic art).
There's fanfic written with Biblical characters, including slash (Jesus/Judas, anyone?).
- Oh God!
  - That, too.
- There's also slash involving Jesus and Lucifer(after all, Lucifer was a beautiful angel, and Evil Is Sexy too). And Jesus/Muhammad.
  - There is a fic where God fucked the devil. Not Jesus, GOD. And... and they distinguished them with the pronouns "he" and "He".
- There is Jesus/Hitler slash fic. Yeah...
Star Wars porn is an obvious example, especially with the Princess Leia in slave girl costume. The most unusual one is probably two Imperial AT-ATs humping — a nature documentary about elephants comes to mind. Amusingly, the D6 RPR book "Fragments From the Rim" has an excerpt from a comedic news bulletin claiming to have identified an "AT-AT Stud farm". It promises pictures. There is also a kama sutra for AT-STs.
- There is also, of course, anthropomorphic AT-AT/Snowspeeder bondage.
- Matthew W. Stover, when pressed on the issue, made a joke about how the Death Star trench run is a metaphor for sex. Mark Hamill's expression after firing doesn't help things. Just makes the Death Star one more doomed girlfriend for Luke.
- Three words: Gold Palpy Society.
- Considering most Star Wars characters have telepathy, psychokinesis, and body manipulation abilities, the Power Perversion Potential is amazing.
- On Deviantart there are Ahsoka Tano/Asaji Ventress and Ahsoka Tano/Padme Amidala vore stories and an Ahsoka Tano/Anakin Skywalker unbirthing one. Here they are. (NSFW).
How many fanfics do you know that have caused international incidents? "Agony in Pink" was a Power Rangers fanfic where the Pink Ranger gets tortured and killed — in lengthy detail — by a monster created by Lord Zedd. It resulted in the newsgroup it was posted on getting banned in Australia, and is believed to be responsible for the complete removal of adult fanfic from Fan Fiction.net. The lemon-fics eventually returned to the site, once all the furor gradually evaporated over time, but now they're rated (disguised as) "Mature" . However, virtually of the original lemon-fics which got deleted by the administrators never did get posted again though.
- Fortunately for self-proclaimed perverts everywhere, Adultfanfiction.net remains to take the burden off its shoulders. And if Fanfiction.net ever carries out its threat of banning M-rated fanfiction too, well, its rating system can take that as well.
The creators of webcomics College Roomies From Hell and Queen Of Wands politely asked their fanbase that if they were going to produce porn based on the webcomic to please not post it or links to it in the comic's forum as the creator didn't want to see it. Both fanbases complied.
- The Walkyverse fanbase, on the other hand, is the complete opposite, with much of the explicit material contained in the site's own fanart gallery.
- Likewise, the author of Keychain of Creation has a separate adult fanart gallery. Granted, it only has one picture so far, but that's not bad for a Stick Figure Comic.
- The author of Narbonic once publicly lamented that no one cared enough to make homoerotic fanfiction with her characters. To her delight, several examples appeared in her inbox the very next day.
- There are two threads based around this trope on the Order of the Stick forums: "Fanservice" and "House of Horrors". Let's just say the latter is labeled NSFW. Made even more disturbing by the fact that they're stick figures.
- The author of the Blade Of Toshubi had no problem when the author of the adult comic Lovemagic asked to use his main character in a story.
This editor could have lived her life happily without knowing that there is Soreike! Anpanman hentai by Zaou Taishi.
- There is also Keroro Gunsou yaoi doujinshi (furry even!) by Zaou Taishi
A small subset of Radiohead fans fantasize about Thom/Jonny/Colin love triangles — it would be pretty minor if it weren't for the fact that Jonny is Colin's little brother and they're all married with kids. In the absence of love triangles, the pairings are usually Thom/Jonny and Ed/Colin. Alas, the fifth member, Phil, was already married when the group rose to fame, and thus he is left out of most of the shipping.
- In the same vein, there are Muse fans out there that like to pair Matt Bellamy and Dom Howard up. This may have started when Matt Bellamy said that if he survived the apocalypse he'd try to find a woman —but if he couldn't find a woman, he'd settle for Dominic.
- The subset of fans in question are known as "The Cheesecakers" and the term for Radiohead fanfiction smut is "Cheesecake". This is notorious throughout the Radiohead fandom, and most fans on boards like Mortigi Tempo and Atease poke fun at it on a regular basis. The Cheesecakers themselves are known for being rather 'clique-y' and often brag about going to see several Radiohead concerts together, holding up rather odd signs at the concert rails, and attempting to stalk the band around. It's all rather creepy, but keep in mind not all Cheesecakers do this.
- I can do you one better: People say the same thing about the Jonas Brothers.
Very much proven by Spore, of whom the many infamous 'penis creature' creations have been called "sporn".
Interestingly, Lovecraftian Fiction writer Ramsey Campbell appeared to have predicted the rise of rule 34, and even made a character that was the personification of it, Y'Golonac; a god of any possibly conceivable depravity and perversion that any being, sane or not, could think of. Simply reading his name was apparently enough to let him possess you. Methinks most people online today have built up an immunity. Or built little shrines to him.
- You know, you maybe should've thought twice before typing his naf0qatqawlmvgoiqvporcqwp carry on, little worm.
  - Now imagine that monotone in the voice of Greg Proops as Igor in the "Make a Monster" game.
Redwall porn easily predates any visual media but the cover of a single book, and let's not even get into the years before Harry Potter ever made it to film.
Oh, and Calvin And Hobbes (see the page pic)? Yeah, in Calvin/Hobbes, and even Hobbes/Hobbes selfcest. Surprisingly, the latter isn't always as bad as you'd expect.
Don't mention the doujinshi circle M-kichibeya to Mother 3 fans. They'll start going off about Naughty Tentacles and the Pigmasks gangbanging the Masked Man.
- Also, there is an image of Kumatora (as Violet) making out with regular Kumatora. It appears in this YouTube video at 4:54. Here is a link to the original image.
There is mind-boggling quantity of porn for the Kirby animated series out there. And much of it is Dedede/Escargoon.
- A certain site features an insane amount of Kirby/Kirby and Meta Knight/Kirby (bondage!) porn. And yes, they do add little Kirby penises and anuses. Even worse is that it updates every day.
Nearly every popular film or TV show has had a porn version made over the past 30 years. They usually replace a word in the title with a body part or sexual term.
- Attack of the 50ft. Hooker is seen as a disappointment in our community simply because the giantess only appears for 5 minutes or so, and the whole scene is intercut with two (fully-clothed) guys talking.
- Before the Internet was widely used as a release valve for these thoughts, the fanzines for TV and movie fandoms had this stuff, such as gay porn for the Big Bad and the Hero in Wizards and Warriors. This was predated by Tijuana Bibles. And it's certain to survive the Internet in some other format if the 'Net fails.
Left 4 Dead has had a live-action porn movie made after it called Left 4 Head (It's probably pretty much what you'd expect) - Rooster Teeth even made a comic about it, while Kotaku told Valve (the company who made the game) that they had "finally made it into the big leagues", the title of the article being 'Left 4 Dead Reaches Ultimate Milestone: Parody Porn'.
Archie Comics is another company that aggressively responds to Rule 34, threatening legal action against Fanfiction.net if it didn't take down all the slash fics featuring its characters. It's not hard to see why, when you consider that the slash in question ranged from Archie/Jughead to Archie/Mr.Weatherbee.
There's even porn starring inanimate objects; it's called anthropomorphic and there's a livejournal community devoted to pairings such as sodium/chlorine, Ohio State University/University of Michigan, toothbrush/Johnny Depp, and Australia/Antarctica/India threesomes. If you think people can't write erotica about cornflakes and milk, you are wrong my friend.
- Actually, the sodium/chlorine one has been done in song format by Kate and Anna McGarrigle.
Tv Tropes is getting some action too.
- And since The Other Wiki had deigned to notice us, more action is to be had.
Even Yahtzee of Zero Punctuation isn't safe from this. His review of Age of Conan provoked a (TOTALLY NSFW!) hentai image of his character, complete with an out of context quote from the review itself. This picture was then posted in a later review of his [censored of course], making mention to his previous Age of Conan review "that inspired so much delightful porn".
- Then again, he incited Free Radical and Sucker punch to make images of the others main characters. How long did he think it would take for that to mutate into what is either slash, lesbian or straight porn (I honestly couldn't stand it long enough to figure out)
  - Actually, it starts treading into some form of nightmare territory when the companies answered the call themselves.
DeviantArt is rife with examples, such as Scrubs JD/Dr. Cox slash, Ed, Edd and Eddy (any combination of the three Eds imaginable), and more Samus/Solid Snake than he'd like to have. And this is all while not actively looking for it. He's scared of what would happen if he was.
- Slash pairings of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson (or, if you prefer, Richard Henry Lee) are available on deviantArt — Presumably inspired by Seventeen Seventy Six
  - There is a whole livejournal community dedicated to slashing our founding fathers based upon that musical.
- Why do you think they call it DeviantArt?
The site VPILF.com went live within 24 hours of the announcement of the Republican Vice-Presidential Candidate in the 2008 US Presidential election season.
- Also, this. DO NOT WANT
In attempt to find an article from the 70's on plants responding to various stimuli (he eventually found it was The Secret Life of Plants), talk radio host Neal Boortz searched for "Philodendron Orgasm" (as the plants were Philodendrons, and one of the stimuli was "viewing" an orgasm). When discussing this, he urged his audience "not to enter that as a search term" because it produced some "nasty stuff"
- And now, 26th June 2009, this page is the first hit on Google when searching for Philodendron Orgasm.
Care Bear BDSM, anyone?
- You just officially killed off my childhood.
  - This, unfortunately, happens with frightening regularity at Weepingcock. It's a Live Journal community dedicated to finding the most unintentionally hilarious and brain-breaking fic there is. Copious amounts of Brain Bleach recommended..
  - Yeah, there's a reason why Care Bears are ~~the header pic~~ an infamous example of Tastes Like Diabetes.
There is porn of R-Type, a series with no named characters at all where it's very rare for a human to even be depicted. Rule 34 finds a way.
In Mega Man 9, the series bends tradition a bit. Having a female Robot Master, Splash Woman, appear. Amount of time it took for porn to appear of her? About 15 minutes. When the game was announced.
- Splash Woman is an Expy of Leviathan from Megaman Zero. Try and guess how much Leviathan/Zero and Leviathan/Ciel art there is.
Even Daria fanfic has some serious slash. Excellent examples include 'Steam', Ragged Denim, and 'The Winters Of Those Gone Before'.
There are several pornographic ROM hacks of many games, mainly NES. Targets include Fester's Quest, Little Nemo: The Dream Master, and Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! The Punch-Out!! one is notoriously half-assed — Piston Honda and Mike Tyson appear to only have one testicle (they have the same body), Bald Bull and Mr. Sandman appear to be transsexuals (same body again), and Soda Popinski and Super Macho Man are still fully clothed ("STUPID AMERICAN! THE GREAT POPINSKIS WILL NOT GET NAKED FOR YOU!"). And the hacker didn't even change all the frames, so the opponents are suddenly clothed when they throw punches.
- One particularly childhood-destroying porno hack, found on the same site as the "Punch-Out!!" "nude" "hack", is of an educational Sesame Street NES game. And I'll say that again just to drive the point home - someone made a pornographic ROM hack of an educational Sesame Street NES game and called it "Ernie and the Muppets Take It All Off". Yes, the carnival game has Big Bird sporting a visible erection, and the Rubber Ducky game has Ernie's rubber duck replaced by... a rubber dick. I couldn't make this up if I tried, folks...
Speaking of videogames, of all the things from Final Fantasy VI they could have made porn of ...
- Actually, that lends a disturbing new relevance to how Kefka mutilated the force of magic...
One word: OrcSlash.
The first two documented eroges on iPhone were both examples of Rule Thirty Four in anime — one of Strike Witches and one of Hidamari Sketch.
Pokegirls.
In the words of Jon Stewart: "Boy, you can put porn music to anything." (If this page has inspired a~~n ir~~rational fear of clicking on links, that is the number 9 having sex with the number 11, as an illustration of what Rudy Giuliani dreams about. Yeah.)
Tetris slash fiction. What makes it worse is that actual effort was put into some of them.
There is porn of the original Rule 34 image. Yes, the one at the top of the page. Upon its creation, the internet imploded, and we just haven't noticed yet.
Despite only being 11 episodes long (so far,) there is a stunning amount of Superjail! porn to be found.
- "Thanks for the great sex, loser!"
- You know the one episode where the Warden dry humped Jared in the ear? Somebody took that and ran with it.
- Not to speak of all the Alice fanart. She seems to spark an alarming amount of PSL.
Real Life example of a sort. Anyone remember the episode of That 70's Show where Hyde helps Fez sneak Alice Cooper records into his house by hiding them in Pat Boone album cases? As a preface to the explanation of his plan, he acted out the record raping the case. "Don't resist me, Pat Boone!" "No! You're hurting me!" followed by a sigh of contentment.
Peter Pan is also victim of this trope - There is Peter/Wendy, Hook/Wendy (made more squicky by the fact that Hook is an alter ego of Wendy's father) Hook/Tinkerbell, etc/etc. Though the story of Wendy growing up (just not in that matter) and the setting - a lone girl between 7 boys wearing only a nightshirt - and the whole capture plot may explain this. Being in the wild and dangerous public domain, Wendy and the Lost Boys' "adventures" comprise one-third of Alan Moore's infamous Lost Girls graphic novel.
Not to mention Sailor Moon hentai stories - okay, again, here one just has to think the canon to a logical end, but still...
Even Barack Obama isn't safe. The only thing that makes this worse is that it comes in white.
- This might be even worse (Completly NSFW, duh.).
  - And to crown it all, there's multichaptered Barack Obama/ Sarah Palin fanfic.
This xkcd strip probably explains the process behind this phenomenon.
- Needless to say, wetriffs.com now exists. According to a Wired interview, it existed six months before the comic, the domain registered by creator Randall Monroe.
It's been only a week since Coraline debuted in theaters and there's already porn of her. God help us all if some artist decides to make /34/ of Ms. Spink and Ms. Forcible. Of course, since it's The Film Of The Book, which has been out rather longer....
World of Whorecraft anyone?
The online game 'Coconut Run' is a simple physics simulator where the player must build a vehicle out of geometric parts to transport some coconuts to a shredder. And somehow, there is porn of it.
Despite the fact that the characters barely resemble actual human beings, The Simpsons has a terrifyingly gigantic amount of porn devoted to it, some of which is almost as old as the show itself. Over the last two decades literally thousands of Simpsons porn images have piled up on the internet. Perhaps even worse is that fact that Lisa seems to be the most popular subject, by quite a large margin (though practically every character to get a speaking role on the show — even one-time guest characters — seems to have been 34ed at some point.)
- Some fans are decent enough to keep it in the canon - they have Troy McClure and fish.
- A couple are included amongst the Simpsons / Pulp Fiction parody pictures here and here◊, attributed to the original artists (though this may be apocryphal).
- This was even Lampshaded a number of years ago (certainly before the term "Rule 34" was coined) in a Life In Hell comic with a cartoon version of Matt Groening saying to a comics convention visitor, "No, I won't draw you a picture of Marge naked."
- Well, don't you dare to enter "Bart and Lisa" into Google image search without a filter on.
- Now there is going to be official Marge porn. The mind reels.
Professional wrestling has loads of 34ing in fanfics, regardless of gender, company affiliation, and blood relation. Hardycest (Matt/Jeff Hardy) in particular makes me reach for the Brain Bleach.
A certain flash animation featuring AUTO, EVE, and lots of USB cables. For those of you with a sense of morbid curiosity, it's (WARNING! Contains no real nudity, but is still VERY NSFW)) here.
Richard Kelly, in Southland Tales, gave us Rule 34 of vehicles.
Ejaculate! Ejaculate! Thank you, internet. I just ate.
Somewhere out there is a Virgil/Dante/ other classical poets slash fic, apparently set in Hell.
Even the dread Cthulhu isn't immune. Extra points for hitting him with Rule 63.
- What, exactly, is Rule 63? And is there, anywhere, a complete list of these rules?
  - Rule 63: If a character is male, then there is porn of him as a female. No exceptions.
  - I give you the Rules of the Internet◊. Link is actually SFW, but don't go poking around that site if you are easily offended.
  - Also, the Tropers' extended version (forum topic).
Even music has to fall before Rule 34. Thanks, Cyan Helkaraxe.
Ladies and gentleman, I give you...Mac/PC slash.
The Daily Show gave Lincoln memorial/Jefferson memorial after stating that Washington D.C. would consider making itself gay-marriage friendly.
There's Hamlet, The Illiad and Moby Dick slash. And probably porn as well. To be fair Moby Dick was asking for it by describing Queequeg and Ishmael like they were a married couple. Just sayin'.
- Hamlet/Horatio is surprisingly popular.
- I have not yet, surprisingly, come across Hamlet/Yorick. But it must exist somewhere: "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio... he has borne me on his back a thousand times."
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead has a small but devoted slash fandom, though the Ho Yay of that play does lend itself well to it. Hamlet is occasionally a part of the slashy action as well.
From the xxxHolic fandom, we get Pipe Fox Porn. For those not familiar, this◊ is Mugutsu. He likes to crawl around inside Watanuki's clothes. Extrapolate.
From the That Guy With The Glasses fandom, we finally have GenderBender fanart. By Anne Onymous. Admittedly, they do look very cute.
What, no mention of Krystal from Star Fox , or Renamon from Digimon? They're probably the most porned-up foxes (okay, fox-like things) in history. Everyone is furry for them.
- Until we come to Officer Carmelita from Sly Cooper.
An obscure game made by Sega titled Shining Tears (and a sequel Shining Wind) was drawn by a well known Hentai artist: Tony Taka. But the game is clean and surprisingly enough there are no official (or rather, drawn by Tony Taka himself) pornographic images of any of the characters. At best they're soft core, and at best all you get is a piece of cloth over erogenous zones. But there are fan-based rule 34 images... but when you're going up against Tony Taka, you better be damn good.
Funiture porn. As in chairs. You know, those things you sit on. It's intended more as a parody of porn sites than actual erotic material.
- Which was originally the newsgroup alt.binary.pictures.erotica.furniture, which sat right next to alt.binary.pictures.erotica.penguins. (The alt.b.p.e groups were responsible at one stage for over 99% of newsgroup traffic, of which alas 98% was spam)
- Well, this gives a whole new meaning to IKEA Erotica.
There is a Lolicon flash animation involving the fairy tale "The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats".
MythBusters' Adam Savage KNOWS that Rule 34 applies to his own show, and HAS seen things he wishes to unsee. He says so here.
This.
Try the protagonist of Shadow of the Colossus being gangbanged by phantoms, assaulted by shadow tendrils, and pleasuring a giant rock monster while keeping an eye on his grip meter.
- And now we have a small boy and his giant pet, fighting against large men in armour. Dear god.....the horror.....
Apparently Rule 34 and the Evil Overlord List's Rule 34 are not incompatible, as there exists interactive inflation/breast expansion dragon fetish art, such as a pregnant Cynder.
There exists Rule 34 of Freddy vs. Jason. This provokes two conflicting thoughts:
1. Who would think of doing such a thing?
2. Why hasn't it been thought of earlier?
- Who sneaks up to kill them while they're doing it?
- Pyramid Head... by JOINING IN.
SurveyFail so enraged fans involved that those behind it, Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam, earned themselves at least two pieces of Rule 34 RPS as a form of revenge.
There has been Rule 34 seen of a Warhammer 40000 building kit. Not the model. The box. Really.
- Of course, there is porn of the in-universe entities. Or So I Heard.
Honestly, the makers of District 9 should have been expecting this as soon as they put that line in the film about Nigerian prostitutes servicing the aliens...
Vegetable Oedipus, basically the story of Oedipus Rex told with vegetables, had the sex scene between Odepius and his mother. Let's list the fetishes:
- Parental Incest
- Almost dark room with sex moans
- Potato on tomato action, really!
Shockingly enough, Heroic Age has no porn. NO PORN!! WHATSOEVER!!!
- Until you mentioned it. Then someone probably went "Huh, good idea."
Space Channel 5 Part 2 has porn, but not of Ulala surprisingly, But of the main villain, Purge.
In spite of Rules 34 & 36, as of September 2009, nothing could be found on the internet for Miley Cyrus x Uchiha Sasuke. Is it really so hard to Manga-fy a pop star?
Lampshade Hanging in Questionable Content here.
Warren Zevon made his own Rule 34 of himself.
- So has Rammstein. Just look for the Pussy video.
Canon/Fanon D/s femslash.
Interestingly, there doesn't seem to be anything of that nature related to Bucky O'Hare, even though there's plenty of material in the comics and cartoon series.
- Then allow me to prove you wrong.
Several well-known comic artists are known to draw Rule 34 in their spare time; I've seen pieces done by Adam Hughes, George Perez and Bruce Timm (the latter even has his own section on paheal - go find it yourself, you pervert!).
The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny hit rule 34 HARD. Seriously, you don't want to know. The only thing that begins to describe it is "Epic Sqick"
There is NO Leatherface porn! Rule 34 has been beaten at last!
- dude... the internet is alive, of course that now there is no porn of that but thnks to you there will be soon...jerk
  - and anyway you were looking for leatherface porn?
  - No, I was looking for stuff so absurd that there would be no porn of it. Like Leatherface. Jason porn is still out there though.
The Mighty Boosh suffers from this a great deal, not least because of the off-and-on-screen Ho Yay between the two stars, Noel Fielding (Vince Noir) and Julian Barratt (Howard Moon). It is very easy to find extremely filthy Rule Thirty Four of both the actors and their characters. This editor once saw a fic involving Old Gregg...and necrophilia. Squick.
A lot for Super Mario Bros. my favorite is probably this. (no nudity but suggestive.)
