* Finn the Human from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' has long, thin, bendy arms and legs, as do almost all other human or humanoid characters from the show.

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': The main characters Dipper and Mabel have relatively normal proportions but their arms appear very bendy. It was [[https://www.reddit.com/r/gravityfalls/comments/1cdk41r/found_a_little_note_in_the_model_book_xd_truly/ described]] in the notes for the animators:
-->'''Creator/AlexHirsch''': Think of Dipper and Mabel's arms like tubes and their hands like little, delicate cocktail weenies.

%%* Finn the Human from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''.

%%* Olive Oyl in ''Franchise/{{Popeye}}''

* [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos The Slender Man]], of course, is well known for his gangly appearance as well as having [[TheBlank no face]]. At least there's only one of him. [[ParanoiaFuel Probably.]]

%%* Morticia in the original ''ComicStrip/TheAddamsFamily'' cartoons by Creator/CharlesAddams for ''The New Yorker''.

* Queen Luna from the third ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'' film, ''Animation/MoonCastleTheSpaceAdventure''. She's practically a giant compared to the other characters due to how tall and skinny she is.

* UsefulNotes/NintendoWii: Beng avatars where players can change their height and proportions, thinner {{UsefulNotes/Mii}}s can count, at least in games and apps where their limbs are visible.

* ''Film/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'' has Mike Teavee. He's overstretched to ten feet tall in the novel and this fate is implied for him in the 1971 movie, but the 2005 movie actually shows how "skinny" he ended up ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IEqMxnegtk&feature=related at 5:20 in the video]]). Also, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QE0kASkdvA Charlie himself]] in the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance game.

* Meito Anisawa frrom ''Manga/LuckyStar'' and his assistants are ironic examples, being the only ones in an otherwise [[PuniPlush plush-like]] world.

%%* Megumi Shimizu from ''Literature/{{Shiki}}''. Actually, most Shiki characters, exceptions being two of the nurses.

* [[Manga/LuckyStar Meito Anisawa]] and his assistants are ironic examples, being the only ones in an otherwise [[PuniPlush plush-like]] world.

* Dr. Facilier from ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' has this design, in contrast to all the other human characters, who are more realistically proportioned. Both the frogs also take on this proportion when standing upright, but that's because they're ''frogs''.
** The same goes for [[{{WesternAnimation/Aladdin}} Jafar]]

* ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'': LovableCoward Shaggy Rogers is the tallest and lankiest of the Mystery Inc. gang (with a [[BigEater gargantuan appetite]]) in contrast to the more athletically built Fred Jones.

An art style in which characters are drawn with exaggeratedly long, thin torsos and limbs. This can look rather odd if animated. The term was coined in ''Comicbook/JohnnyTheHomicidalManiac'', although the term has also been picked up by the {{anime}} and {{manga}} fandom. Despite the floppy connotations of noodle-ness, character designs using this aesthetic frequently tend to be angular and pointy, like an uncooked noodle, especially around the joints (and, in anime and manga, possibly also the chins).

While there are plenty of tall and skinny people in the real world, the difference between them and this trope is that noodle people are ''impossibly and disproportionately'' tall and skinny, '''[[Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease so there is no such thing as a noodle person in real life]] '''.

Has nothing to do with [[NoodleIncident incidents]] or [[NoodleImplements implements.]] If you wanted a trope about characters whose limbs have the flexibility of noodles, that's RubberHoseLimbs. Compare NothingButSkinAndBones, LeanAndMean. Contrast with PuniPlush. Frequently paired with CreepyLongFingers and/or CreepilyLongArms.

%%* Megumi Shimizu from ''Manga/{{Shiki}}''. Actually, most Shiki characters, exceptions being two of the nurses.

%%* Most human characters in ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' (at least the anime).

%%* Mirage from ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles''. Seriously, just take a look at her! Violet as well.

* The {{Music/Gorillaz}}, excluding [[GentleGiant Russell]] and child-Noodle. It's most noticeable with 2D and adult/teen Noodle (who's aptly named).

* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'' features a new power-up called a "Weird Mushroom" that turns Mario into, well, [[http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/015/626/873.jpg this]]. Hell, the Weird Mushroom [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/mario/images/a/a8/LuigiMushroom.png/revision/latest?cb=20150409163150 itself]] qualifies, being a lanky, realistically-proportioned version of the Super Mushroom.
