* In ''ProjectRunway'' Season 3's finale, Jeffrey's best outfit - a green and white dress - had a lot of decorative zippers. [[spoiler: He won]].

*** There are [[http://www.britannica.com/blogs/2009/04/the-zipper-dress-a-sebastian-errazuriz-design/ clothes too]]

* [[http://www.infmetry.com/coolstuff/zip-itself-tetrahedral-coin-purse/ These purses]], which are basically each just one long zipper.

* [[VideoGame/{{Pokemon}} Pokémon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire]] gives us Mega Banette, which has multiple zippers all over its body.

* ''StarTrekEnterprise''. As a prequel series the Starfleet characters wore NASA style jumpsuits with plenty of zippers, in [[WeWillNotHavePocketsInTheFuture deliberate contrast to series set later in canon]].

* [[VideoGame/Pokemon Pokémon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire]] gives us Mega Banette, which has multiple zippers all over its body.

-->'''[[TheStinger Waldorf]]:''' That [[Creator/TetsuyaNomura Nomura]] guy puts way too many zippers on his characters.\\

* Parodied in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiHPlXXl8GA a sketch]] of ''Series/TheBennyHillShow'' with Benny as a biker. After trying out all his zipper for his money pouch, his girlfriend finally [[WipeThatSmileOffYourFace zips his mouth]].

* MichaelJackson in the "Bad" music video, also combined with TooManyBelts, proving the trend is OlderThanTheyThink. And considering the popularity of Jackson's work in Japan, possibly one of the main influences on it.
** People can say what they want, it's 25 years later (2012) and Jackson is probably still the only one who could make that many zippers look good, [[TheSimpsons despite the notable handicap of being dead]]. "Bad"? [[IncrediblyLamePun More like "Badass"]].
*** The red jacket he wears in the "Beat It" video also counts.

* Deconstructed in ''{{Garfield}}'', of all places. Jon, in an attempt to be "cool", wears a jumpsuit with dozens of zippers on it. Upon the realization that he doesn't remember which pocket contains his keys, Garfield exclaims:
-->"This could take ''months''!"

** Heck, EVERYTHING Nobody-related has a zipper. Zipper mouths, anyone?
*** It might even be said that the dynamic between the Nobodies and Heartless could parallel Nomura's use of [[MemeticMutation zippers and belts]].

* ''HarvestMoon'' side-series ''Rune Factory Frontier'' has Candy and Cinnamon, both with zippers on the sides of their hats.
* Ah, ''{{BlazBlue}}'':

* Referenced in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W95z1DqOIUg this]] Ronin Dojo Community College DX short, when Barry's dad sees a picture of an unspecified Final Fantasy character.
-->'''Dad''': What's with all these zippers? No person should have this many zippers. I don't care what fantasy it is.

!!Examples:

* Bruno Bucciarati from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure: Golden Wind'' not only has zippers on his outfit, but his Stand allows him to ''attach'' zippers '''anywhere'''.
** Bucciarati makes zippers far more badass than they should be.
* ''FrankenFran'' takes this to a horrifying extreme -- [[BandageBabe Adorea]] has zippers all over her SKIN.

* While most of the exorcist uniforms in ''[[{{DGrayMan}} D.Gray-Man]]'' have zippers (and relatively large ones at that) Allen's second uniform probably takes the cake. The longest zipper winds around his whole left arm right down to the back of his hand.

* An Archie story had Reggie boasting it Veronica how his outfit is so Zipperiffic, Jughead then draws him with another zipper, on Reggie's mouth.

* Lampshaded on ''PeepShow'' when Mark goes clothes shopping and starts ranting about pocketless zips and [[SymbologyResearchFailure gratuitous symbolism]].
--> ''So that's the way it is, is it? Let's just put a zip here, a swastika there. Who knows what these things once stood for? Who even cares?''
* Also poked fun of much earlier in a ''NotTheNineOClockNews'' sketch set in a gents' lavatory with a punk desperately zipping and unzipping his many zips, frantically trying to gain access to relieve himself.

* Deconstructed in ''{{Garfield}}'', of all places. Jon, in an attempt to be "cool", wears a jumpsuit with dozens of zippers on it. Upon the realization that he doesn't remember which pocket contains his keys, the eponymous feline exclaims:
-->This could take ''months''!

** ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''' Sora is the reigning king of this trope and probably the first person to come to most people's minds when this trope is mentioned. Even though his ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts2'' and ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3D'' outfits only features zippers on his jacket and zippers on his shoes, which really isn't all that weird when it comes to placement of zippers. Kairi features a pretty zipperific dress as well. In the same game, DonaldDuck has a zipper on his ''hat''.

** It's a little known fact that Sora is almost identical to Sion from ''TheBouncer'', from whence the zippers came.

** It's almost a self-parody, as at the beginning of the first ''KingdomHearts'', they said they got their belts-and-zippers outfits in order to blend in to the world full of KH original characters.

** A fan nickname for Pete in Kingdom Hearts 2 is ''Captain Ass Zipper.'' Guess why.
