Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })In many forms of media, there are scenes that express a character's fear, whether it be from heights, or from entering an abandoned mansion. It is worth noting that at times, those characters will, as a result, tremble. Though it can be considered on the note of serious terror, once the sound effect of trembling is implemented, or once you notice that characters are shaking in the most exaggerated way possible, it seems as though those scenes are there for comedic effect. As a result, characters will often joke about the other character "shaking like a leaf", with the portrayal of one's teeth chattering or knees banging together adding to the comic relief (most prominent in Scooby-Doo).
A common feature for a Nervous Wreck. Compare Security Cling.

Mandy from Totally Spies! (she's the one from the picture above). The camera focuses on her knees knocking together when she is afraid to perform in front of a crowd in the episode "Black Widow". She was literally shaking in her boots!

Naruto subverts this trope in the episode "The Cursed Warrior". He tries to convince Lady Tsunade that he isn't scared of ghosts, but his knees are visibly trembling in front of her.
Ino from Naruto experiences this is as well due to being afraid of helping Sakura fight the sound village in Naruto Episode 32.
