History Main / TrampolineTummy

* In ''WesternAnimation/Madagascar2'', King Julien and Maurice bounce on some hippos' stomach when they arrive at Africa.

A character uses the belly of a fat human or creature as a trampoline to get to higher places or just for their own amusement.

* One episode of ''TheFlintstones'' had Fred doing this with Pebbles.

* Cerbee used Beezy like this on ''JimmyTwoShoes''.

* Disgustingly subverted in ''{{Preacher}}''. The retarded kid who is the last surviving descendant of Jesus apparently amuses himself by taking flying leaps into the copious fat-rolls of the evil Cardinal who rules The Grail. Rather than bouncing hilariously off of it, however, it just makes the cardinal puke by the bucketload, which suits him fine since he's bulimic...

* Darun Mister from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterEX'' uses this trope as an ''attack''. He has a super called the Super Indra Bash where he curls up backwards and leaps, utilizing his stomach as a springboard to launch his opponents into the air, setting them up for a combo (including a second and third Super Indra Bash if he has enough meter). There's also his [[CombinationAttack Meteor Tag Combo]] with [[DanceBattler Pullum Purna]] ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gcSlEaLg4w as seen here]]), where both Pullum and your opponent bounce off of Darun's midsection until Pullum kicks them down to the ground, where they're caught by Darun in a backbreaker. The only subversion is that Darun is actually in good shape.

* The DrSeuss book ''Hop on Pop''.

* In ''MyNeighborTotoro'', Mei bounces on the furry tummy of a sleeping Totoro; later, her sister Satsuki falls from the top of Totoro's tree and lands with a bounce on his stomach.

* In ''CrashBandicoot3'', you can do this with the eponymous enemies in the level "Double Header".
