This is when a cartoon character moves without any visible elbows or knees, so their limbs aren't stiff, but rather bendy, like rubber hoses. Just watch pretty much any black-and-white cartoon, to give a broad example. In cartoons made before the mid to late 1930s or so, this was done for practical reasons rather than artistic ones. It all started with Felix the Cat animators Otto Messmer and Bill Nolan, and it was meant to prevent the motion of the limbs in question from looking like they were drawn through a strobe light and flickering — the basic idea was that if you didn't draw joints, you could make absolutely sure that the limbs in one frame overlapped with where the limbs were in the last frame. Higher frame rates, the development of Squash and Stretch, and an awareness of camera blur sharply reduced the need for this kind of animation as time went on, and cartoon characters all of a sudden had joints. These days, this is a deliberate artistic decision on the part of the animator — either to creep you out; to create a fun, zany, or cute character; or as a deliberate nod to The Golden Age of Animation. In the early days, however, it was just how things were done. In anime, it's often used in conjunction with Super-Deformed, possibly to accentuate the childish nature of the Art Shift. In Western Animation, it was revived with the Thin-Line Animation style of The New '10s. Related to No Knees, though that's mostly a side effect of a Lazy Artist. Not to be confused with Noodle People, which is about having skinny arms, though the tropes aren't mutually exclusive. A Rubber Man may be a justified version of this. |

The entire cast of Adventure Time. Oddly enough, when Jake gets his shape-shifting powers taken away, his body suddenly has properly jointed limbs, though this is never an issue with powerless characters like Finn. Although in the episode "The Creeps", Princess Bubblegum's arms are randomly more realistic than in other episodes. One might say this show brought about a renaissance for this art style, as it has been imitated since as part of Thin-Line Animation. |

Being a very deliberate homage to the 1920s and 1930s era of cartoons, the animation of Cuphead is full of this. Characters have very fluid animations but not much in the way of distinct joints. There's often the implications of knees or elbows, but very little that follows the laws of anatomy. | |

Zig-zagged in The Amazing World of Gumball: most of the 2D characters have hose-like arms, but depending on the scene they may gently curve, bend at angles with distinguishable elbows, or some combination thereof. In general, anyone who wears clothes over at least part of their arm (the Wattersons minus Darwin) tends usually bent arms, while those who don't (Principal Brown, Tobias, Penny) tend toward curved arms. Some of the 3D characters (including Anton and Banana Joe) also use a version of this trope where their arms are just rubber lines that bend at curves only. | |

In Splatoon, the humanoid Jellyfish that wander Inkopolis have wildly flexible limbs, those being their tentacles, that they can even extend. As for the most of the rest of the species around, it is actually inverted; despite the fact that almost all of the known species are humanoid invertebrates, the squid- and octopus-based Inkling and Octoling protagonists included, they all have clearly defined limbs. | |

Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro: The titular protagonist often gets drawn with her arms getting noodly and waving around without visible hands or fingers when she gets particularly mischievous/playful with her senpai. | |

Clown Man from Mega Man 8 has stretchy, bendy arms, which he can use to channel his Thunder Claw attacks and swing from a trapeze (one of his pasttimes). | |

Mickey Mouse, his predecessor, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Felix the Cat, Flip the Frog — basically any cartoon character created before 1935 will have these, as it was the standard style at the time. The 1929 Walt Disney Silly Symphonies The Skeleton Dance does this — even on the skeletons, which looks pretty odd! | |

Homestar Runner Bubs originally had jointed limbs, but they eventually became rubber hose limbs. Strong Bad also has them from time to time. |

Joe Swanson from Family Guy has legs which seem to follow no real joints due to being a paraplegic. It makes sense. | |

Used all over the Flash Tub, such as with the titular "Gaming Guyz", and is the basis for a lot of disturbing gags. | |

Characters in Gravity Falls who have thin limbs often make use of this. Lampshaded in the episode "Fight Fighters": | |

Guu in Haré+Guu usually has no elbows or hands. This is a deliberate choice to emphasize Guu's other-world-ness. | |
