Go To

Basic Trope: A character shakes their buttocks.

  • Straight: Alice shakes her butt in front of Bob.
  • Exaggerated: Alice is gyrating her butt that this causes everyone to join in dancing with her.
  • Downplayed: Alice does a slight wiggle.
  • Justified:
    • Alice is The Tease who likes to show off her glutes.
    • Alice is taunting Bob.
    • Alice is celebrating on being hired on her dream job.
  • Inverted: Alice wiggles her breasts in front of Bob.
  • Subverted: It turns out that Alice has squirrels in her pants.
  • Double Subverted: She gets them out, and does another butt shake to celebrate.
  • Parodied: Alice posts a Youtube video of her twerking and gains over a thousand likes.
  • Zig Zagged: Sometimes, she is shown doing that like this, and sometimes, she isn't.
  • Averted: Alice doesn't shake her rump.
  • Enforced: "Alice is the series' Ms. Fanservice. Let's have her shake her booty!"
  • Lampshaded: "Alice knows how to use her assets really well."
  • Invoked: Bob encourages Alice to shake her butt because he likes watching her do it.
  • Exploited: Seeing that both Alice and Bob are indisposed, Carrie takes the chance to take his wallet.
  • Defied: "I'm not going to lower myself in moving my buttocks to please you pervs!"
  • Discussed:
    Bob: "Why are you shaking your butt?"
    Alice: Because I like shaking my butt.
  • Conversed: "Remember the episode on Troperville where Alice was twerking? I'm surprised the Moral Guardians didn't take that episode off the air."
  • Deconstructed:
    • Alice is shaking her rump, and many of her friends think that she's acting weird.
    • Bob shakes his rump, giving an opening for Charlie to deliver an Ass Shove.
  • Reconstructed:
    • ...however, she doesn't care. She likes it anyway.
    • But Bob hides spikes within his ass, which wounds Charlie, so Bob gets to taunt him for his failed Ass Shove by shaking more of his rump!
  • Implied: Alice is frequently The Ghost, but many people mention her as "shaking her buns."
  • Played for Laughs: When Alice is shaking her buttocks, she will sometimes fart and make the people cover their noses in disgust.
  • Played for Drama: The characters must shake their butts for a day, or they will die, due to a curse.
  • Played for Horror:
    • The rump-shaking is based on macabre subject matter.
    • Continuing from Played for Drama, when Alice fails to shake her rump she dies a Cruel and Unusual Death.
    • Alice shakes her rump, but gets a little too into it, and throws her back out. She is left confined to her bed in terrible pain.
