Doraemon had a gadget called the Inflating Gum, and true to its name chewing a single stick can make a person inflate and float like a balloon.Princess Buburina from Catnapped! has an enchantment on her, causing anyone she touches to blow up into a balloon.At one point, Jelly Jiggler (who fell into the toilet with Gasser) blows up into pieces. Used bizarrely in Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, involving a giant toilet.Online, this trope is also known for being a common Fetish, but let's not get into that here. As a form of Toon Physics, this trope tends to run on Rule of Funny and Willing Suspension of Disbelief. Related to Be the Ball, so overlap occurs. Its logical conclusion is usually "Pop!" Goes the Human. Naturally, a trope Played for Laughs because of its sheer impossibility in Real Life (unless you happen to be a pufferfish).Ĭompare Balloon Belly (when a character gets an extreme potbelly), Breast Expansion (because of the Buxom Beauty Standard) and Temporary Bulk Change (when a character gets fat and then inexplicably slims back down between scenes) or Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever (grow in size but not inflate). May also be done with water or other liquids, in which case you can expect a lot less floating and a lot more wobbling. The inflating body gag can happen if a character blows his thumb. It often ends with the character deflating just like an untied party balloon, flying through the air and sputtering as the gas rushes out of them. Because All Balloons Have Helium, inflated characters are liable to float in the air or blow away in the wind, even if they were inflated with normal air. This is often inflicted on the character as an Amusing Injury, but some characters will do it to themselves deliberately. I havn't tried that.A character inhales too much helium or some other gas, and their whole body inflates like a balloon. So I can't recommend the air dragon for inflating car tires, but it might be good for bike tires and air beds. After a short break to let it cool down I connected it again but the tire pressure just went f urther down instead of up. After just a few minutes the front part of the air dragon became really hot and I stopped pumping. I connected the air dragon just to check and the display showed 28PSI and then went quickly down to 20PSI despite the compressor running. My tires require a minimum pressure of 38 PSI. Lucky that I tried it before in an non emergency situation. My intention was to use it to refill my tires after a visit on the beach or in case of emergency. I was reluctant to buy, as I had already made some bad experience with other TV advertised products, which appear to be too good to be true. Reading all the positive reviews and watching the convincing ads on TV I thought I'd give it a chance.
