Traveling-Pipe Bulge | comment |
Mostly found in animated and CG media, the Traveling Pipe Bulge is a phenomenon that occurs when an object moves through a pipe or hard tube, creating a bulge to tell you where it is. Bonus points if the fittings do not contract after the object passes through them, or if the object is much smaller than the pipe itself. It's not always a pipe, it can be a water hose as well. Sometimes used to depict Tube Travel in video games. Sister Trope to Worm Sign, Dinner Deformation and Balloon Belly. May result in Forcibly Formed Physique. |

Happens in The Nightmare Before Christmas when objects (such as Santa Claus) go down the pipe to Oogie Boogie's lair. In a rare variance of this trope, Santa's transport causes bolts to pop out of the pipe. This is because the transport system wasn't designed to accommodate something as large as Santa. But, as the trick-or-treaters say, if he can fit down a chimney... |
