Line 17:
== Anime & Manga ==
* Almost constantly in the comedy scenes in ''[[Sailor Moon]]''. In general anime has a lot of this.
* Brief does one at the end of ''[[Panty and& Stocking Withwith Garterbelt (Anime)|Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt]]'' when he discovers {{spoiler|Panty's chopped-up remains}}.
* '''Everywhere''' in ''[[One Piece]]''. You're hard bound to find a chapter that doesn't have one. Bonus to point to Usopp for doing this so much it might as well be his regular face. {{spoiler|Especially once he dons the persona of Sogeking and a mask. The mask completely averts the [[Expressive Mask]], but Usopp's jaw sticks out from below the bottom of the mask so you can still see his wide take.}}
** Best examples? Falls. [http://www.citymanga.com/one_piece/chapter-246/07/ Especially in] [http://www.citymanga.com/one_piece/chapter-302/12-13/ Skypiea].
Line 30:
 
== [[Film]] ==
* A rare live-action example in ''[[Planes, Trains and Automobiles]]''. Del and Neal are driving on the wrong side of the motorway at night completely unaware of it until two huge trucks come up either side of them. Their car scrapes up against the two and the pair scream. There is a series of fast cuts between the outside and inside of the car, and at one point we see that both Del and Neal have been replaced by google-eyed skeletons just to elevate the sheer cartoonish shock. This is followed by Neal looking over at Del and seeing him dressed as the devil himself, laughing maniacally. The two end up on the other side, pull the brakes and their suitcases fly off the back of the car and land on the road. Neil's fingertips are embedded in the dashboard and Del has bent the steering wheel.
* ''[[The Mask (Filmfilm)|The Mask]]'', being a live-action cartoon, gets off several, the most extreme probably coming when he exits a city park and turns to find himself confronted with the entire Edge City police department.
* The "Large Marge" scene in ''[[Pee WeesWee's Big Adventure]]'' features one done in Claymation.
* The title character in ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]'' is prone to wild takes. Other Toon characters get at least one, including the weasels, Jessica and {{spoiler|Judge Doom}}.
 
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* The RPG ''[[Toon (Tabletop Gamegame)|Toon]]'' includes these as part of playing its characters. A character who is "Boggled" (stunned for a round or two) by a shocking event will pull one of these off.
 
== [[Television]] ==
* On ''[[The Muppet Show]]'', Kermit the Frog is (in)famous for the wild takes he does when the craziness on the show gets to be too much, with hands waving in the air screaming. It's rather funny.
* An episode of [[Whose Line Is It Anyway?]] featured a game of Unlikely Superheroes, where Colin was Horribly Frightened Of Everything Man. Priceless.
* ''[[Sister Sister]]'' once had a character do this as a one-off visual gag utilising CGI effects. When Tamera first sees her romantic interest in the opening of the episode "Boy From The Hood", [[Eye Pop|her eyeballs cartoonishly bug out of their sockets]]. She also contorts her mouth into the shape of a stretched out Klaxon horn to produce the archetypal "aooga" noise that typically accompanies Wild Takes.
 
Line 46:
* In the ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' games, witnesses will do a [[Wild Take]] if you manage to put a particularly large hole in their testimony.

* In ''[[Battletoads (Video Game)|Battletoads]]'', the titular 'toads do a [[Wild Take]] when they encounter a boss, also losing whatever weapon they may have been holding.
 
== [[Web Comics]] ==
Line 56:
 
== [[Web Original]] ==
* One [[YouTube]] channel, under [http://www.youtube.com/user/TheWildtake the same name], has set out to collect media examples of [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|wild takes]]. It's even made a music video collage of them.
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
Line 63:
** This trope was done to the point that it became a [[Chekhov's Skill]] in one of the last episodes - Courage's panicked yelling is what wound up defeating the villains by causing the ground beneath them to split from the force.
* Wade, the paranoid duck on the "U.S. Acres" segments of ''[[Garfield and Friends]]'', had this as his primary character trait. ''Everything'' elicited a [[Wild Take]] from him.
* The Planet of Easily Frightened People on ''[[Earthworm Jim (Animationanimation)|Earthworm Jim]]'' was a [[Planet of Hats]] based around constantly having Wild Takes. ("AHH! Something green! AHHH! Something not green! AHHHH! Air!")
* In one ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures (Animation)|Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' episode, Plucky Duck got stuck in a [[Wild Take]], leaving him as a giant eyeball with legs for the bulk of the cartoon. This happens after Plucky sneaks into an "Advanced Takes" class taught by Daffy, instead of the basic class taught by Bugs - suggesting this is one of the only things Daffy ever topped the rabbit in, probably because of the way his luck often turned out in the series. The take itself is [http://s3.amazonaws.com/auteurs_production/post_images/5471/vlcsnap-2011-06-14-11h10m39s225.png?1308054144 the same one Daffy did] in the 1946 short ''[[Book Revue]]''.
* In ''[[Animaniacs (Animation)|Animaniacs]]'', Slappy Squirrel was fond of pointing these out while watching her old cartoons; "Ah, wild take no. 32, regular as clockwork. [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|Wish everything was as regular as clockwork around here]]."
* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants (Animation)|SpongeBob SquarePants]]'': "Excuse me sir, I hope my horrible ugliness won't be a distraction to you." "Not at all, boy-[[Memetic Mutation|DEUUEAUGH!"]]
* On ''[[Fairly Oddparents]]'', Mr. Crocker would frequently do wild takes when ranting to himself about Timmy's ''"[[This Is Sparta|FAIRY-GOD-PARENTS]]!"''
* Ren often did this in ''[[Ren and Stimpy]]''; such examples include after making fun of their drill sergeant only to realize he's standing right next to him when he sees this he screams, his eyeballs pop out of their sockets, his brain pops out of his skull, his skin melts off his head, and his bones connecting to his neck pop off, and when he is under the influence of Stimpy's happy helmet he makes a different and wackier expression after each word as he says "I MUST GO DO NICE THINGS!".
** Most of [[John K]]'s works are pretty much built around this trope.
* [[Tex Avery]] largely [[Trope Codifier|codified this trope]]. The short ''[[Red Hot Riding Hood]]'' is the likely codifier, but [[Northwest Hounded Police]] is more imaginative.
* [[Super Mario World (Animationanimation)|Super Mario World]]: Larry 'Cheatsy' Koopa does a wild take in the episode 'Gopher Bash'.
* Characters on ''[[The Simpsons (Animationanimation)|The Simpsons]]'' have these in [[Halloween Episode|Treehouse of Horror episodes]] such as Bart and Lisa when they see Itchy and Scratchy about to fire weapons at them or Homer when he sees the hole in the third dimension.
** Wild Takes were also common in the original Tracey Ullman shorts.
** According to Dr. Hibbert, the medical term for this is called "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaPe8XFo9Zg Tex Avery Sundrome]."
Line 78:
* ''[[Rocko's Modern Life]]'': Rocko often did the impressive brain-pops-out-of-the-skull ones, and was surpassed only by ''[[Ren and Stimpy]]'' at the time in terms of creative and somewhat gory wild takes.
* ''[[Darkwing Duck]]''
* ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]]'' does this constantly with almost all the characters at some point.
* Hapens to the titular character in ''[[Kick Buttowski]]'' during one of the Halloween episodes. In a very rare instance he's frightened in a haunted house and his skeleton practically tears through his skin and leaps out.
