INFLATION FANTASY MEDIA FAQ

          This used to be the BALLOON BUDDIES MEDIA FAQ, but I've edited out all the references to balloon fetish. What's left is all the references to BE (breast expansion), body inflation, belly inflation, and inflatable clothing. I've left the inflatable clothing references in because I.C. fetishists who are also into body inflation fantasy will find this faq useful as well. 
          This is a rather large document, so please be patient as it loads.  To submit new entries, please click here and fill out the form.

          I've put a label at the beginning of each entry so readers know what type of fetish each entry represents. For some of the entries, I've included some extra info...

SIZE: 
big = realistically large 
Huge = way bigger than anyone you've ever seen or ever will see 
WOW = "Look out, she's going to explode!" copyright – Al, 1997.

RATING: 
          Enjoyability of the film on the "Woo" scale, three woo's and a WOW being the highest. Just read it, you'll figure it out. 
          Things I haven't seen personally will not have these extra tidbits of information at the beginning. 
          I'm also adding my own comments (marked with "W") to some of the entries.

          Also, if audio clips (WAV), digitized stills (GIF/JPG) or digitized videos (AVI/MOV/FLI) are known to exist, I've started noting that. Do NOT ask us where to find these files, as FTP and Web archives tend to come and go and there's a good chance that even WE don't know where they can be obtained as you read this. Do a little research with the various Internet search tools at your disposal and you should be able to locate them.

Motion Pictures

KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE (1988, Media, Suzanne Snyder) 
(BE – big, Woo) 
          In one scene, the guys who drive the ice cream truck fall through a trap door in the Klowns' spaceship; the fall into a pit of plastic balls. On the edge of the pit sit two female alien clowns whose breasts inflate. (The female klowns are butt-ugly – just letting you know – W)

LIVE AND LET DIE (1973, CBS/Fox; Roger Moore) 
(Body) 
          Bond film in which 007 uses compressed-air shark pellets to dispatch of both a leather sofa and a bad guy (Yaphet Kotto) near the very end of the film. They both swell up and explode. Not really all that impressive; in late 1995, Entertainment Weekly called this the worst dispatch of a Bond villain of all time.

REPOSSESSED (1990, LIVE Home Video; Leslie Neilsen, Ned Beatty, Linda Blair) 
(BE – big, Woo woo woo) 
          A not-too-funny parody of "The Exorcist" that contains an interesting health club scene (featuring Jake LaMotta, no less) about half-way through. A woman in a yellow spandex catsuit works out on an upper-body exercise machine. When she pumps up, she *really* pumps up. The actress' name is Charlotte Hellcamp, and she's listed in the credits as "Incredible Girl" (indeed!). Despite of the inanity of the whole film (even Neilsen can't save it), it's more than worth the rental for BE fans. AVI and JPGs available.

MODERN PROBLEMS (1981, ??, Chevy Chase) 
(Clothing) 
          "While attending a ballet, psychically-mutated Chevy amuses himself by causing the male dancer's dance belt to blow up right between his legs. The dancer keeps trying and trying to go on dancing as his crotch inflates bigger and bigger. Eventually Chevy is trying very hard to push them over the top and the belt is the size of nicely inflated nine inch balloons when it bursts with a big bang. Needless to say, it was a show stopper." (Hawaii Mike)

WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (1971, Warner Bros., Gene Wilder) 
(Body, Woo woo woo... WOW) 
          "During the tour of the factory, a girl named Violet starts chewing some experimental three-course dinner gum that Wonka has invented. Despite Wonka's warnings she continues chewing and starts turning blue when she gets to the dessert – blueberry pie. Soon afterward she begins to fill with blueberry juice, a nice effect most likely achieved with an inflatable rubber suit under her clothing. The camera cuts away, and when it returns, she's as round as a ball and Oompa Loompas start rolling her around, singing her tale of woe." (Wren/Penhgwyn) (Easily the most famous inflatable fantasy scene ever committed to film! Look for the inflating hose by her ankles; the tank that's filling her is most likely strategically blocked behind the crowd of onlookers to the left. -Dan). AVI, WAV, GIFs and animated GIF available.

FLESH GORDON 2 (19??, Video company?, No one of conseqence) 
(BE – WOW, Woo woo woo...WOW!) 
          A B (perhaps C) movie with an amazing abundance of corny sex jokes. There's one scene where Dr. Flexi Jerkoff throws a lever that makes a woman's chest grow huge under her T-shirt. She's delighted until he accidently pops one of them, and then pops the other to make it match. (DrEnlarge/Wren) MOV, AVI and FLI available.

CRITTERS 2: THE MAIN COURSE (1988, RCA/Columbia, Scott Grimes, Terrence V. Mann) 
(BE – big, Woo woo) 
          "There's a scene where an androgenous, faceless bounty hunter alien looks at a smut magazine and become the woman in the centerfold. The alien's breasts and body fills out (inflates) until it turns it looks like the voluptuous bimbo in the magazine. The camera shots are very brief." (Wren)

JEKYLL & HYDE...TOGETHER AGAIN (1982, company?, Mark Blankfield, Bess Armstrong) 
(BE – Huge, Woo woo woo) 
          "There's a scene where a plastic surgeon hooks a woman up to a breast enhancement machine. Her breasts inflate in the background as the surgeon talks to Dr. Jekyll. When he finally looks back, her breasts are huge. He turns off the machine and offers to get them back to normal, but she decides she likes them that way. If you turn up the volume you can hear the balloons squeaking as she walks out holding her breasts. This one's tough to locate on video; if you can find it, dub it." (Wren)

THE BLISS OF MRS. BLOSSOM (1967, Paramount; Shirley McLaine, Richard Attenborough; item #6810) 
(BE – Huge, Woo woo) 
          Sir Attenborough plays a brassiere manufacturer who creates a "universal bra," which will give all women the chests they want and thereby alleviate world crisis (remember, this is a dry British satire; John Cleese makes an appearance). The universal bra is inflatable, and due to a bit of sabotage by one of the film's main characters, goes horribly awry at the item's debut fashion show. The scene culminates with about twenty women with volleyball-sized inflated bosoms rising to the ceiling. If you rent this one, be ready for a bit of 60's surrealism. The tape is currently in print and available for $20 or less. AVI and JPG available.

SON OF FLUBBER (1960?, Disney, Fred MacMurray) 
(Clothing) 
          The sequel to "The Absent-Minded Professor" finds Fred inventing Flubber Gas. Throughout the movie, his young assistant Willoughby experiments with it on a friend. The story's climax involves a football game where the unsuspecting friend wears a rubber diving suit that's inflated (and eventually, of course, overinflated) with Flubber Gas. Sievert sez: "This is available on videotape. I've found it in most video stores in the Disney kids sections when I did see it." AVI available.

BACK TO THE FUTURE II (1989, MCA/Universal, Christopher Lloyd, Michael J. Fox) 
(BE – Barely Noticeable) 
          "When Marty Jr. Turns on the T.V. he selects several channels to view at once, if you look close you'll see a add for some kind of breast enlargement. You really need to step-frame through the scene to see it." (Jim Chandler, plus others) (Maybe it's just my VCR, but if you blink you can miss this scene, even going frame by frame – I wouldn't waste my time and money on it if I were you – W)

WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT? (1988, Touchstone, Bob Hoskins) 
(Body) 
          Hey, now, stop it with the Jessica's breasts jokes – I'm referring to the opening cartoon, in which Roger gets stuck on the business end of a vaccuum on reverse. He blows up quite large and flies around the room in the best of animated traditions (see the animated section of this FAQ for more examples). (Dan)

THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE (1967, MCA/Universal, Julie Andrews) 
(BE – big) 
          During the opening credits, Millie walks around town and becomes more modern--changes her clothing, hairstyle, etc. As she's buying a newspaper from a street vendor, her breasts suddenly swell, leaving shocked looks on both the vendor's and her own face. It's very fast, not very large and not too spectacular. (Dan)

AN EVENING WITH KITTEN 
(BE , Woo woo) 
          "The "Evening with Kitten" video is a 40 minute or so collection of short comedy sequences featuring Kitten Natividad (whom I've had the pleasure of meeting). In one sequence she plays a street bum who stumbles across a bottle of some kind of "super-grow" and upon drinking it she inflates hulk-style to her famous Kitten proportions which subsequently launches her career as we know it." AVI available.

UP THE SANDBOX (1973, ??, Barbra Streisand, David Selby) 
(BE – Barely Noticeable/Belly) 
          "I seem to recall a Barbara Streisand movie where she has a imagined sequence where her breasts inflate somewhat and then deflate as her pregnant tummy inflates." (On a completely random after-all-we-are-online-and-therefore-nerds kind of note, this film was directed by Irvin Kershner, later of "The Empire Strikes Back" fame. – Dan) (A balloon under her dress for a pregnant belly and really cheesy effects to make her breasts one cup size bigger – don't bother unless you're a big Steisand fan – W)

NATIONAL LAMPOON'S EUROPEAN VACATION (1985, ??, Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Eric Idle) 
(Belly, Woo) 
          "There's a scene on an airlane where the daughter, Audrey, has a dreams that she's sitting at a giant dinner table pigging out. After a couple courses they pad her down a little to make her look fat. When she munches on desert, the front of her whole torso inflates, causing her jeans to unbutton and the buttons on her shirt to pop off." (Wren) (Not a great scene, but FA's/feeding fans should get a kick out of it – W)

RAGGEDY ANN & ANDY (1977, ??, animated) 
(Body) 
          "Near the end of this mostly animated adventure, the dolls meet the King of Looney Land. He's a tiny little shrimp, but parts of him inflate when he laughs at other people. So he hatches a plot to get big laughs at the expense of Ann and Andy. He starts laughing really hard as some big green monster tickle tortures the dolls and he inflate's to the size of a small moon until a bird pops him with it's beak. Funny how the best inflation scenes on always on children's shows eh? If you look past the fact that it's just a cartoon, this inflation scene is actually one of the best." (Wren) (Probably the largest "body" inflation scene in the history of movies – W) AVIs and JPGs available.

SPLITTING HEIRS (199?, ??, Eric Idle, Rick Moranis) 
(Body) 
          "In one scene of this movie, Eric Idle tries to kill Rick Moranis by switching his oxygen tanks with helium tanks when he goes diving. All they show at first is Moranis shooting several feet into the air. Then they show him floating in the water in a severely overinflated wetsuit. Actually, it looks more like some sort of inflatable vinyl suit they probably constructed for the movie." (Wren)

CLASS OF NUKEM HIGH (1986, Media, Richard Haines, Janelle Brady) 
(Belly, Woo woo woo) 
          "There are two places in this movie where Crissy's stomach begins to inflate because she's pregnant with a mutant baby. One is a scene where she's in bed asleep in a skimpy top and a bikini bottom. Her stomach starts to swell up and soon she looks 9 months pregnant. The stomach is fake of course, but it looks very real - it's even the same color as her skin and doesn't look like rubber at all. It pulls open all but one button on her top and it pushes her bikini bottom down pretty low as is inflates. 
          "There's another scene later in this same movie where Crissy feels sick and staggers into the girls bathroom. She's wearing a blouse tucked into her short skirt. Soon, her stomach begins to billow out with each breath inside her clothes. She pushes her stomach flat, but then it happens again. And she pushes it flat again." (Wren) (Expect weirdness – this is a Troma film. -Dan) (They're letting fans write the 2nd sequel to this. Send them an entry with inflation in it, why doncha? www.troma.com/contest – W)

WITCH HUNT (1995, HBO Pictures, Dennis Hopper) 
(BE – Barely Noticeable) 
          "A john at a magical whorehouse has the opportunity to customize his girl. After changing her hairstyle, he asks for 'a bit more up top.' The girl's breasts then grow slightly. The growth is very minor – she goes from about an A cup to a B cup - but the morphing effects involved are still pretty neat!" (Mastophilus) (The amount of growth has been disputed as being more dramatic than a simple A to B, but I suppose busty is in the eye of the beholder. -Dan) (Bah...It's nothing spectacular, but I guess somebody liked it – W) AVI and MOV available.

MAX HEADROOM: THE MOVIE (1986?, ??, Matt Frewer) 
(Body) 
          "There was a scene in that movie where Max learns of this plot to send super-fast ads over the TV so people couldn't switch chanels. However, it did have a disturbing side effect – it caused fat, lazy people to inflate and eventually explode. Messy but interesting." (Ritties) (This was the pilot for the ABC TV show, once Max's Cinemax show caught on. It is available on video; check under Sci-Fi. -Dan)

DELTA PI (a.k.a. MUGSY'S GIRLS) (1985, ??, Ruth Gordon) 
(BE – big/Clothing) 
          "There's a movie called "Mugsy's Girls" about a sorority house run by an old lady named Mugsy or something like that. I rented it a few years ago. Anyhow, it's a sorta all female version of Animal House and has a nerdy thin girl who wears an inflatable bra that pumps her up to a fairly impressive 44DD. She goes around getting guys in it, but later gets popped by a cigarette held by Mugsy. Not worth much, but a fun scene nonetheless." (sievert@io.com) (The IMDb lists this as "Delta Pi" so look for it under both names. - Dan)

UNKNOWN FILM #1 (??, ??, Jack Klugman?) 
(Clothing) 
          "There's a total unknown that I saw when about ten. I think it had Jack Klugman, but am just not sure. Anyhow, there's this one part where a guy replaces his friend at a charity circus held by members of a hospital. He has to be the ringmaster and isn't really fond of the suit that he has to wear for it. During the show the suit is supposed to inflate to a large size, but no one tells him about it. He's doing his schpiel and suddenly swells up and floats up to the ceiling. I just can't find any reference to this, but I know it exists! Maybe a made for television movie or something?" (sievert@io.com) (Anybody know what this is? – W)

SLEEPER (1973, Playhouse, Woody Allen) 
(Clothing) 
          "Also, does anyone remember the old standby "Sleeper," where Woody Allen wears a special suit for interplanetary travel [a "hiking-back" suit? Something that sounded like that...-Dan] and Diane Keaton inflates it to foil his "escape"? My fetish became realized after that "Willy Wonka scene" and was further strengthened by the "Sleeper" scene." (Ritties)

LEPRECHAUN 3 (1995, company?, stars?) 
(BE – big, Body, Woo) 
          There is a scene about one hour into the movie where the leprechaun punishes a woman who stole his gold to make herself beautiful. He first starts to enlarge her breasts, then her lips, and finally her butt. Eventually she gets caught in a door frame and explodes. By that time, her breasts are about the size of beach balls, her lips are the size of bananas, and her hips are easily four feet across. Not a bad job accompanied by interesting sound effects (gurgling, water swishing, stretching). (Although gory, it's worth a rental to see the growth effects – W) JPG available.

RABBIT TEST (1978, Joan Rivers, Billy Crystal) 
(BE – big) 
          "About a man who gets pregnant. From time to time in the film a woman can be seen walking back and forth in front of his apartment. Each time there is a cut to the outside of the apartment her chest is bigger and they get really big!" (Jim Chandler) 
          This is sort of right. Not really. Unless I missed something, this woman is using one of those springy things with two handles to excercise (in the middle of the street, at night - weird, eh? – not even the right muscle group). Anyway, she's shown three times – each time her breasts (obviously ordinary balloons under a yellow sweater) are a little bigger. Not really all that big, and as usual, the scenes go by too quickly to really see much. Not worth the rental, IMO. (Wren)

Television

ALLY McBEAL
(BE – Big, woo woo woo)
In the premiere episode of this Fox sitcom, the daydreaming title character wishes her breasts were bigger--"Not huge, but...I'd look good less small." Then, looking into the mirror, she imagines herself getting steadily larger until her bra straps snap in the D or DD range. (Dan)AVI, MOV, JPG, WAV and animated GIF available.

GILLIGAN'S ISLAND 
(Clothing) 
          "There was an early episode of "Gilligan's Island" where the Skipper and Gilligan had to dive down to the wreckage of their ship. The "wet suit" would not fit the Skipper, so Gilligan wore it. The "girls" were on the shore, pumping air to them. Gilligan's suit inflates and he bobs up to the surface." (Ritties)

THE LITTLE RASCALS 
(Belly) 
          "There was an episode of the old "Our Gang" film shorts where Alfalfa goes through a "Transformation" after drinking what he thought was liquid TNT. To steal a phrase, 'he blowed up real good!,' fairly large also." (Ritties) (I remember this; his stomach swelled. -Dan)

JACQUES COUSTEAU 
(Clothing) 
          "There was an old Cousteau episode where they were diving in a cold, northerly location. The divers on the team all wore dry suits and for fun, inflated them rather large and "frolicked" around in the water. I have not seen that since then, but it left a big impact on me." (Ritties)

CONFESSIONS OF A HOLIDAY CAMP (UK) 
(BE – big/Clothing, Woo) 
          "In the same show the opening credits show our hero trying to allegedly pump up a tire on one of the camp's electric golf cart type vehicles with several girls in it chatting enthusiastically. One has on a sweater that keeps getting a little bigger each time he pumps. It looks like a pair of white #12 balloons have been put inside and they pump them up fairly large and put a lot of stretch on the sweater before cutting away to other things without a punch line, so to speak." (Hawaii Mike)

MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS (UK) 
(Body) 
          "In one of the episodes of "Monty Python's Flying Circus," during one of the quick cuts a gentleman standing alone in a field removes a balloon from his inside jacket pocket and fills it. There are two or three other shots like this with bigger and bigger balloons... In the last one he takes a VERY LARGE toy from his pocket and the next shot is an inflated image of HIM floating away."

BENNY HILL'S VIDEO SIDESHOW VOLUME III 
(BE – big, Woo woo) 
          "There's a scene at the very end of the tape where several men harass a woman at a bus stop. She starts growling when she gets angry and her chest begins to inflate. Her chest stretches her T-shirt so much that more letters begin to appear on the front of it. Finally the camera cuts away and cuts back to show that she's turned into a tall green She-Hulk. I found this on tape at Blockbuster." (Wren)

BENNY HILL'S ONE NIGHT STAND (Vol. 2 of the Benny Hill Collection) 
(BE – big, Woo) 
          "On another volume of Benny Hill's shows, there's several skits about life in New York. In one scene, answers a ringing pay phone. She hears heavy breathing and then suddenly, with each breath, her chest starts inflating." (Wren) (I'm not sure if these video titles are correct. These scenes appear somewhere in the first three volumes of the Benny Hill show that were released by HBO Home Video – W)

UNKNOWN BENNY HILL SIGHTINGS 
(BE – ??, Woo?) 
          "I don't know what tape this is on, since I saw it on a friend's compiliation. His usual montage of shorts during a song is going. It shows Benny helping a good looking blonde in a snug black turtleneck sweater on a bike with a flat tire. As he pumps it up, her chest gets bigger for a long double take from him at the end. Later the same blonde is in a doctor's office where Benny's taking her blood pressure. One agains she swells as he pumps the cuff on her arm up." (Sievert) (Dan's note: These are but a few of many small inflatable breast jokes that the dear departed Mr. Hill was somewhat notorious for. If you can locate them on his tapes, please report back.)

FIRESIGN THEATER: CASE OF THE MISSING YOKE (????) 
(BE – not even big) 
          "I think I saw it on Comedy Central a few years ago. There are a couple of scene's, one is an ad for Boobie Chew, a hormone gum that "Doubles your measure and doubles your gun," it's available for boys too. It shows three different girls in bikini tops popping a stick of gum into their mouths and their breasts suddenly swell bigger. In another scene on "Lawyer's Hospital," Nurse Bambi's breasts grow slowly larger in the background as to Doctors discuss a patient's case." (Jim Chandler) AVI available for "Boobie Chew."

THE TOMORROW PEOPLE (UK) 
(Body) 
          A low-budget British (is there another kind?) sci-fi soap opera-type show for teens – kind of like "Dr. Who" for the angst set. One plot line, starring actor David Prowse (who would later portray Darth Vader in the "Star Wars" trilogy), involved a torture machine that could add air to a closed object. A test was shown with a sealed balloon, which swelled and burst. Sure enough, one of our female heroes was thrown in next. The special effects are nonexistant and naturally she escapes (although seeing her swell is the episode's cliffhanger), but I'm still looking for this scene 15 years after I first saw it on the US cable channel Nickelodeon.

GROWING PAINS 
(Body, Woo woo) 
          "In one episode, Tracey Gold's character is nominated to be prom queen, or something like that. She thinks she's just an ugly nerd; so one night she has a dream that she's in a beautiful gown at the contest, but then she looks in a mirror and suddenly she's wearing a t-shirt, overalls, glasses, and her hair is messed up. The call her onto the stage and she beings to quickly inflate, except for her arms and then she falls through the stage--from her weight I guess. She inflates pretty big too." (Wren) 
          "This probably occured in season four, episode #76 ("Homecoming Queen")." (Magnus Stromgren, a seriously devoted fan of the show who also corrected my spelling on Ms. Gold's first name - last time, I left out the "e." Holy cow!)

FAMILY MATTERS 
(Body) 
          "I was watching a rerun of Family Matters a few minutes ago, and the father was having a bad dream. It turns out that his daughter had married Urkel and had four kids. During their little romance speech, she said that she hadn't planned on having that many kids but it seemed that every time Urkel kissed her she got pregnant. Well they kissed and a balloon inflated underneath her dress." (Tommy)

(Body, Woo) 
          Donna Summer guest stars on one episode as Urkel's overweight Aunt Una. Urkel whips up a potion that compresses her fat cells, making her the svelte R&B star we all know and love today. Alas, in the middle of a powerful and moving rendition of "Amazing Grace," the potion wears off and Una decompresses right there in front of the faithful. First it's a general widening, then her rear end, then the bust and when the camera cuts back, she's got a large gut as well (albeit an oddly horizontal one). It's all cheap balloon tricks, but hey. (Dan)AVI available.

IN LIVING COLOR 
(Body, Woo) 
          "I've seen three incidences of inflating on this show. The first was a parody of the Oprah Winfrey talk show. Keenan Wayans' tall and slender sister was supposed to be Oprah—and her outfit very much ressembled that of the blueberry girl from the Wonka film. Anyway, the topic of the show is no-good men. All through the skit Oprah pigs out, and then finaly, while holding an armful of snacks, she starts ranting and raving about how her boyfriend Stedmond is no good and then she starts to inflate and drops all her snacks. In the next camera shot her belt is gone and her belly looks like a giant beach ball. She screams, "Food is my lover! Food is my friend!" floats up to the ceiling and pops. Snacks fly everwhere.

(Body, Woo woo woo) 
          "The next incident was a parody of Sir Mixalot's "Baby's Got Back" video, which incidentally also has a little inflation in it. There's one part of the video where a thin woman like the one in the real video turns around and her butt inflates, only in this case her butt gets huge.

(BE – big, Woo woo woo... WOW) 
          "And then there's another episode with a commercial for BallPark Breast Implants. A woman sits in a chair next her friend on the beach, holds up a tanning mirror to her chest, and her breasts inflate because her implants "plump when you cook 'em." After some dialogue she does it again and they inflate even bigger." (Wren) JPGs available.

MADAME'S PLACE 
(BE – big, Woo woo) 
          "That old lady puppet that was always on the Hollywood Squares show had her own sitcom. She was a late night talk show host. Anyway, she had a nerdy secretary and in one episode she pisses off a gypsy, who puts a curse on her that makes her breasts inflate to about a D cup, I think. After she spends hundreds of dollars on new underwear the gypsy removes the curse and they shrink back to normal." (Wren)

BABES 
(Body) 
          "There once was a FOX show called Babes. It was a comedy about three fat women, which pissed all the fat people in the country off so they cancelled a very funny show. Anyway, Sievert says one of the women dreams that she eats a squeeze toy or something that begins to inflate inside her and she gets huge and starts to float eventually. The part where she floats I have actually seen in the opening credits of the show too. I believe the actress who inflates also played the fat girl on Tom Hanks' old sitcom about crossdressers, 'Bosom Buddies.'" (Wren) (That would be Wendie Jo Sperber. – Dan) (Can this show be found on tape? – W)

THE X-FILES 
(Belly, Woo) 
          In the episode "Ascension," Mulder has halluciations of horrible things happening to his recently-abducted-by-aliens partner, Scully. One such thing is a pump being attached to Scully's midsection and inflating it roughly to the size of a beach ball. (In real life, the actress who plays Scully, Gillian Anderson, was pregnant and gave birth days after the episode was shot.) According to the plot, this happens in Mulder's imagination and it has yet to be determined whether it actually happened during the abduction. The scene was appropriated and shown out of context for the "The Secrets Of The X-Files" special that ran at the end of the second season. AVI and MOV available.

REAL SEX (HBO SPECIALS) 
(BE – ??/Clothing, Woo?) 
          "In one of HBO's more recent Real Sex specials – probably # 10 or # 11 – we see an attractive, busty brunette wearing an inflatable rubber suit. While the song is playing, her boyfriend blows air into the suit from behind causing the suit both to inflate in the cups and to push the woman's already ample (probably DD-cup) tits together and upward. The resultant cleavage is stunning!" (Mastophilus)

HOME IMPROVEMENT 
(BE – big) 
          In one episode where Jill is doing research for your psychology class concerning cosmetic surgery, she brings home a morphing program used by plstic surgeons. Tim uses it to morph Jill's breasts. "Look out, she's gonna blow!" he declares as the breasts on the screen get larger and larger. They end up about where the BE-Buddies would have them start. (Cheyenne)

SABRINA – THE TEENAGE WITCH 
(BE, Clothing) 
          In one of the opening teaser, before the title, Sabrina tries on one of her Aunt's sweaters. Poof—a booby trap. Unfortunately, not only do her breasts enlarge, but her shoulders and back puff out also. She looks more like a football player. "Why can't sweater just be a sweater?" Sabrina asks, annoyed. (Cheyenne) AVI forthcoming.

BAILEY KIPPER'S P.O.V. (a Saturday morning, live-action kiddie show) 
(body, pregnant) 
          Bailey's parents are sitting at the kitchen table discussing something (Their children, I think). The mother says, "I just love being pregnant." Suddenly we see her imagining that she is pregnant—hugely so—and floating in the air as a float in a parade. Circus music plays in the background. A very nice scene. (Cheyenne)

Cartoons & Animation

          Frankly, if we were to catalog each and every cartoon that ever included an inflatable scene, we'd be here all year. However, the inflatable bits are noteworthy in the following:

LOONEY TUNES/MERRIE MELODIES (Body) – A few Wile E. Coyote ACME- inspired scenes come to mind, featuring inflations of the Roger Rabbit variety.

TOM & JERRY (Body) – To impress a female feline, Tom (he's the cat, right?) uses the ol' stuff-the-balloons-in-the-shirt-to-look-like-muscles trick. Jerry plays the foil.

JOSIE & THE PUSSYCATS IN OUTER SPACE (Clothing) – Andrew Sievert says: "The crew was busy on one of their space adventures trying to psyche out a robot that was chasing them by doing the old medical scene – they faked being doctors and tried to take him apart. Alexandra didn't like Josie being right next to Alan, so she had her cat sneak up on the nurse outfit Josie was wearing and stuff an air hose down her back. Josie inflated up like a ball (we still don't know why) and drifted around until she popped and took out all the bad guys while zinging around." AVI, JPG and WAV available.

BLUE FALCON & DYNOMUTT (Body) – A villain to cheer for. BF & DM battle The Blimp, a fine menace II society who's invented a ray that turns people into – guess what? – blimps. Of course, the fool uses it to temporarily put bank guards out of commission so he can loot the vaults, but he also figures out how to tie it into radio and TV waves, so the city's whole population becomes inflated and floaty – including our heroes. I think this was a Hanna-Barbera series, and therefore might show up again on USA or the Cartoon Network. (Body)

DUCKMAN (BE – WOW, Woo?) – "Anyone see that late-night USA Network cartoon called Duckman. Very sarcastic on today's society. Anyway, there's an episode where our hero, Duckman, starts to feel inadequate about the size of his bill, so he goes to a plastic surgeon to see about bill augmentation! While he's there for the consult, talking with the hack (I mean Doc), a woman in the background is hooked up to a pump (via her nipples, of course), and her breasts inflate to the size of the proverbial bean-bags, until the pressure blows the hose off and she flies away as her breast balloons deflate. Great fun for BE and inflatable lovers, both!" (first spotted by Knewt, but description courtesy of PeterB) AVI and MOV available.

INSPECTOR GADGET (Clothing) – "An 'Inspector Gadget' episode, not involving his inflatable overcoat for once, was seen on the USA Network a few days ago. Some woman was out to knock him off during Marti Gras in New Orleans and was running around in a wedding dress which was inflated for some odd reason (hey, I was channel surfing and stopped when I heard a hissing noise and "Help me!" Sort of an instinctual thing, I guess... :>)" (Sievert)

JAMES BOND JR. (Clothing) – "There was an episode of that short lived cartoon "James Bond. Jr." That had him up against some villians who had stolen 'hyper-helium' a gas with over 100 times the lifting potential of helium. Yeah, I know it's impossible, but its a cartoon, so we'll forgive 'em. They nailed him with a jacket that inflated and nearly carried him out to sea, but he managed to pop it at the last second and foil their evil plans. Not much of interest, but it had a decent basic plot that I've thought of stealing once or twice." (Sievert)

EARTHWORM JIM (Body) – "The newer cartoon Earthworm Jim had a reasonably interesting start scene just before the credits. Everyone was throwing Jim a birthday party and he recieved a huge cake which he expected a girl to pop out of. His uncanny worm senses failed however, and Professor Monkey-for-a-head came out and got the drop on everyone with his fat-o-matic gun. Princess What's-her-name was one of the zappiees and blew out into a big ball like shape and bounced around some. Kinda interesting, so I've kept my eye on the show ever since." (Sievert)

Miscellaneous/Unknown

(Body) 
          In Sheryl Crow's video for "All I Wanna Do," various people who come by and drop change into the band's open guitar case bulge slightly and float around throughout the video.

(BE – Huge, Woo) 
          "There is a very brief scene in the video for Styx' "Music Time" that shows a blond bimbo setting on the trunk of a 50's Caddy. She's wearing a tight top, miniskirt and shades. She already pretty well endowed, but then shows them starting to grow bigger (It's best seen with step frame) It make a brief cut back to the singer and then back to the blond who now had huge boobs."

Magazines & Print Media

(Clothing) 
          German sex mag << O>> has had two notable inflation/bondage stories, as described here by prolific and high-caliber erotic fiction writer Bill Lemiuex:

(Clothing) 
"Polymorph," by Mike Vickers, story in <> issue #15. 
          Husband and wife go out on the town with her wearing a remote controlled inflatable body suit (with accessories!) under a concealing spandex outfit. After ducking into an alley for some brief foreplay, he orders her into a store where she gets fat suddenly, enduring much embarassment.

(Clothing) 
"The Bondage Statue," by Mike Vickers, story in <> issue #18. 
          He, the techie artist, she the fetishistic submissive. She allows him to make her into an elaborate bondage statue involving a full body suit with entertaining accessories and a stiff inflatable bondage envelope inside a plastic cube. Then she is put on display, totally immobilized, in an art show, while undergoing intense stimulation.

          If anyone has these tucked away in their collections, let us know.

LITTLE EGO & PINOCCHIA 
          "We should definitely include two good artwork pieces: Little Ego and Pinocchia. Let me know if you need descriptions of them. The Ego strip has been around for a while, but I don't believe any of the Pinocchia stuff has been circulating internally, although it's been on Usenet quite a lot lately." (PeterB)

WHITE LIGHT (1980 Sci-Fi Novel) 
(BE – ??, Woo?) 
          "I know of one Science Fiction book which has a breast enlargement scene in it. The book is called 'White Light' and is by Rudy Rucker. It was published in 1980 by Ace Books. There is one scene where a girl who turns out to be a living inflatable love doll places an air hose in her navel and inflates her breasts to an enormous size." (Unknown) (A source recently revealed that this scene isn't very good and not worth tracking down the book, in his opinion – W)

THE BLUE AIR COMPRESSOR (Heavy Metal short story by Stephen King) 
(Body) 
          Stephen King actually tackled inflation in one of his stories, "The Blue Air Compressor." He wrote it in college then revised it, adding comments to the reader mid-narrative, for Heavy Metal in July 1981. In it, an aspiring young writer named Gerald shows his work to his landlady, the slovenly Mrs. Leighton. When she mocks him for his characterization of her – "It's abominable...you haven't made mebig enough" – he kills her by ramming an air compressor hose down her throat and turning it on. It's neither erotic or terribly grisly, but hey, it's Stephen King and it therefore deserves a mention. Also, he mentions that the story is partly inspired on an old E.C. Comics tale of a very fat husband and a very skinny wife who hate each other; he "blows her up to dirigible size" with an air compressor, then after doing so, he gets squashed flat by a booby trap she set for him. 
          King does not seem to like the story all that much and therefore will likely never reprint it in a future short story collection. Meanwhile, a short blurb on it is in "The Stephen King Encyclopedia," a large, large book available everywhere.
