* '''DON'T try this in real life''', at least without the glompee's permission. If you don't have their permission, it could be considered ''physical assault.'' Because people have been ''seriously injured'' and/or had their costumes heavily damaged from being glomped, many {{Fan Convention}}s, where attendees have been known to glomp others, have outright banned the practice.

** Erika used TheGlomp with Kouji in episode 63, much to Sayaka's jealous wrath.

* Shiho Munakata frequently glomps Yuuichi Tate in the early parts of ''{{Mai-HiME}}''. Mikoto does this to Mai from time to time, sometimes adding a SkinshipGrope or a self-inflicted MarshmallowHell for good measure. During the ending, Shizuru {{Glomp}}s Natsuki from behind while Mai is preparing to sing karaoke.

* Sei Satou (the first "''Rosa Gigantea''") from ''LightNovel/MariaSamaGaMiteru'' is fond of [[TheGlomp glomping]] Yumi, the series protagonist.

* The girls from ''KOn'' like to {{glomp}} each other on a regular basis. Especially Azusa is a often victim to Yui's sudden affectionate urges.

* In ''WizardsOfWaverlyPlace: TheMovie'', Alex glomps Max at the end after she wishes her brothers back into existence.
* In ''{{Glee}}'', when Blaine transfers to [=McKinley=], he gets glomped by Kurt for his trouble. Of course, since they're madly in love it's definitely the second, bowled-over-with-affection kind of glomp.

* The final boss in ''VideoGame/ParasiteEve'' does this [[spoiler: when it crawls after you after you just pumped its body with bullets laced with Aya's DNA. TheGlomp here equals TouchOfDeath]].

* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', TheGlomp is usually a good thing, with the Glompee being, at worst, neutral. For a long time, "* GLOMP* " actually became a word for greeting new members on the forums. [[MemeticMutation Among other things]].

* In ''Series/{{Stargate SG-1}}'', Vala likes doing this, usually after moments of extreme tension being resolved. One instance in "Line In The Sand", has Vala teleported to the presumably destroyed village that she was trying to protect. The village was revealed to be "out of phase" and unharmed, she responds by running up to and jumping on [[TheStoic Teal'c]], complete with wrapping her legs around him.

* Series/{{Buffy|the Vampire Slayer}} glomps Willow in "Choices" after learning that Willow has decided to enroll at UC Sunnydale with Buffy, as opposed to Harvard, Yale, Oxford, or any of the other top colleges she got into. It's definitely appreciated.

* ''IrresponsibleCaptainTylor''. Captain Tylor tries to glomp Yuriko Star after waking up in sickbay, having nearly died of oxygen deprivation. An annoyed Yuriko quickly steps to one side and Tylor falls flat on his face.

* A convention related one, during an episode of Voiceprint with Trevor Devall and guests interviewing ScottMcNeil, Soctt admitted to being afraid of that term and all, for him once having being glomped and did something painful to his back at the time, so I don't think more needs to be said some voice Actors may be a tad cautious around the word Glomp itself.

* In ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda2'', Po and Tigress get into a fight which ends with Tigress glomping Po in the form of a CoolDownHug to show how much she cares about him. [[spoiler:Po later glomps Tigress at the end of the film; the look on her face is ''priceless''.]]
** The rest of the Furious Five can only stare in disbelief. Crane gets a [[JawDrop Beak Drop]].

* In ''HarryPotter'', when he [[spoiler: defeats Voldemort (or more accurately, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard provokes Voldemort into defeating himself)]]]] he gets glomped by [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters pretty much everyone]]. Also a common reaction to winning Quidditch matches.
** And in ''Prisoner of Azkaban'', Sirius glomps Remus Lupin.
** Neville gets glomped by every Gryffindor who can reach him when his house points win them the cup at the end of the first book.

* In ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', Ed gets glomped a few times by Alexander the dog, when he and Al go to Dr. Marco's house to study alchemy. It's hard for a dog to hug someone, so in Ed's case it was more like DeathFromAbove, as Alexander's shadow was the last thing he saw before the giant dog ever-so-lovingly crushed him underneath.

* In ''Manga/DragonBall Z'' during the Cell saga, after Goku heals from a near fatal disease and everyone notices him in better condition, Goku gets glomped through a moving plane by Krillin.

While aggressive hugs are nothing new (in RealLife or in media) the use of the term "Glomp" to describe them appears to have stemmed from its use as a sound effect in early manga translations by Creator/VizMedia. (One folk etymology asserts that it stands for ''"Grab, Latch On, Maintain Pressure"'', but that is a {{backronym}} applied to the word after it became popular.) The word itself appears to be a mutation of the established English word "glom" which means "to grab; to latch on" (as found in the words "agglomeration" and "conglomerate") with a final "p" sound added to give it more of a sense of definite action. Can function as an UnsoundEffect.

* The aim of many of Ayu's CrashIntoHello meetings with Yuuichi in ''{{Kanon}}''.

* The earliest reported usages of the word "glomp" are as sound effects in the Viz translations of ''UruseiYatsura'' and ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf''.
