This should be an easy one to get an image for, I think. Here's a screenshot I have lying around from City Of Heroes showing off a dodgy kicking animation.

OK for me.

At first glance, for me, that's just an example of exaggerated stretching animation which animators deliberately do in an attempt to make it more lively.

Heck, The Animator's Survival Kit actually says to "break the rules" for believable animation, and that animation that "breaks anatomy rules" (ie, having it bend in the wrong dimension, stretching it beyond the limits, etc.) would not only be effectively unnoticeable when played at full speed, but may, as I said, actually make it seem more lively (In fact, the book even mentions a comparison of Fred Astaire to Mickey Mouse {or, to be more specific, a nickname of "the human Mickey Mouse"} simply because his dancing, when played at slow motion, actually seem to bend in ways a human bone can't normally move.)

The main Off-Model page says that the trope can be used as a tool, so, unless some more exaggerated image came up, I'd be okay with the suggestion.

The Sims 3 is kinda infamous for these sort of animation glitches. I'll see what I can find.

Some suggestions: [1] [2] [3]

The first link doesn't work for me. The other two are good, though the latter is a bit dark.

[up][up]Those sort of work, though it's less clear with a customizable character like in The Sims 3 that there is a model to be off of. I'm okay with the first of those:

I'd be fine with 7.1 or 2. I'm also going to throw in a suggestion for the infamous crazy legs glitch from TF2.

[up][up] The first or third of those, either works. [tup]

Something similar is also on Good Bad Bugs, too.
