One of The Twelve Principles of Animation is exaggeration of movements and facial expression, and the Wild Take is the prime example of this principle, bringing The Take to anatomically impossible levels. If a mouse ran across the kitchen floor, a take would be to jump back, startled. A Spit Take would be to shoot out your coffee dramatically out of your mouth and start shouting. A wild take would be to scream at the top of your lungs with your eyes popped out and duplicated many times and with a giant mouth and jump high enough to leave a you-shaped hole in the roof. Most characters who engage in this behavior tend to be high-strung at the best of times. Don't ask about the worst of times. Mostly an Animation Trope, though it can be CGI'd into live-action shows (most often, but not exclusively, those intended for a younger demographic and "live-action cartoons"). See also Eye Pop and Jaw Drop. Compare with Super-Deformed. |

In Battletoads, the titular 'toads do a Wild Take when they encounter a boss, also losing whatever weapon they may have been holding. Even the Lee Brothers do this in their crossover game with the Toads! This is the same case for Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. |

Carface gets two. The first is when Charlie is freed from the anchor. The second is when he sees King Gator swimming towards him. |

Characters on The Simpsons have these in Treehouse of Horror episodes such as Bart and Lisa when they see Itchy and Scratchy about to fire weapons at them or Homer when he sees the hole in the third dimension. Wild Takes were also common in the original Tracey Ullman Show shorts. According to Dr. Hibbert, the medical term for this is called "Tex Avery Syndrome." Parodied in an episode regarding a film adaptation of Radioactive Man, when Principal Skinner announces that the film will be made in Springfield and that they will cast kids from the city to star in the movie as Fall Out Boy. The kids' hats fly from their heads, then Skinner says that they will fix the AC. "Homer's Triple Bypass" not only has Homer giving multiple wild takes while having a heart attack, but the scene also has a cutaway of Homer's heart having its own wild take. "Krusty Gets Busted" gives Krusty his own heart attack-induced wild take as well. |

Darkwing Duck did this at times, which is actually extremely unusual for a Disney cartoon. Also, whenever a Disney series was animated by Glen Kennedy's team, they would give the characters blink-it-or-miss-it wild takes which were quite extreme compared to how quick they went by. | |

Scott Adams sometimes illustrates wild takes in Dilbert. One particular 1996 strip had the Pointy-Haired Boss informing the main characters that the company had just been bought out by their rival. When he mentions that the new company already has engineers who are doing the same jobs as their department for less pay (which he thinks is supposed to reassure them that they won't get laid-off), the panicked reactions of the cast to that news include Alice's hair jumping off her head, Wally's skull flying out of his mouth, and Dilbert's head spinning in circles. | |

Rocko's Modern Life: Rocko often did the impressive brain-pops-out-of-the-skull ones, and was surpassed only by Ren & Stimpy at the time in terms of creative and somewhat gory wild takes. When Rocko went to get his driver's license, the eye test doctor actually invoked the Wild Take intentionally (by leaving a terrorizing message) so Rocko's eyes would be big enough to examine easily. He then forced Rocko to hold the take pose until the test was complete. (Link to clip) |

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog tended to do this at least Once an Episode, almost always from Robotnik or his bots when they realize they're about to be on the receiving end of something painful. Sonic and Tails occasionally had some of their own though. AoSTH having wild takes is no shock, considering that some of its lead animators were veterans of Ren & Stimpy. |

Happens a few times in the Woody Woodpecker cartoon "A Fine Feathered Frenzy". When Woody Woodpecker hears Gorgeous Gal's sexy voice on the phone and she invites him to come over to possibly marry him his eyes bulge out of his head and he jumps up and down all over the place with joy. His feelings change once he meets her and realizes she's an overweight and elderly bird. She in turn falls in love with him but her reaction intensifies once she holds him down and kisses him on the lips several times. After this Gorgeous Gal looks at the Woodpecker with a wild eyed expression, becomes ecstatic and her entire body flies at him with her giant red lips puckered like cupid's love arrow when he tries to escape. The cartoon is also filled with several other wild takes, but mostly Woody's horrified reaction to Gorgeous Gal's flirting and sexual advances. With his most extreme reactions occurring when he gets locked in a dungeon room and spots Gorgeous in a wedding dress with a priest ready to become Mrs. Woodpecker. |

Holli Would does one of these towards the end of Cool World. After seeing Jack return the Spike of Power to the Cool World, she reacts with a physically exaggerated scream followed by her eyeballs bulging to the size of her entire body. It's a little contrasting due to Holli being, by comparison, one of the more realistic looking Doodles in the movie. | |

In Pizza Tower, Pepino will bug out if he comes into contact with a bomb, then start panicking and running with it. He also has his share of takes for encountering bosses, and in the TV display related to his current situation; he's a very expressive man. On the other hand, just about every Mook in the game will have one of their own paralyzing them in place when Peppino comes barreling at them at full Mach 3. | |

The Urpneys engaged in these frequently in The Dreamstone (Urpgor in particular would often pull multiple elaborate ones in a single casual sentence). The heroes were usually animated far more tamely, though weren't void of them completely (eg. their Mass "Oh, Crap!" in "The Dream Beam Invasion" or Amberley's in "Wildit's Whistle"). | |

Used frequently in The Amazing World of Gumball. Not a lot in Season 1, a little more in Season 2, and almost Once an Episode from Season 3 onwards. Some of the more realistic ones could count as Nightmare Fuel. | |

The titular dog of Courage the Cowardly Dog. He does these whenever he's scared, i.e. every thirty seconds. These are often cut too quickly and make the occasional surreal things on the show even scarier. In "Night of the Weremole", early in the episode, when he sees a snarling Muriel raiding the refrigerator, he starts screaming, then clutches his chest with a yelp, and collapses. Then it cuts to an ambulance racing across Nowhere, followed by Courage recovering in Dr. Vindaloo's office. Of all the insane things he would go through during the series, that is the one thing that literally gave Courage a heart attack. This trope was done to the point that it became a Chekhov's Skill in one of the last episodes - Courage wound up defeating an alliance of his most notorious villains by screaming so powerfully that it caused the ground beneath them to split from the force. |

Sister, Sister once had a character do this as a one-off visual gag utilising CGI effects. When Tamera first sees her romantic interest in the opening of the episode "Boy From The Hood", her eyeballs cartoonishly bug out of their sockets. She also contorts her mouth into the shape of a stretched out Klaxon horn to produce the archetypal "aooga" noise that typically accompanies Wild Takes. It can be viewed here. | |

One of the most famous examples in Western animation is from Book Revue, where at the sight of the Big Bad Wolf, Daffy Duck temporarily transforms into a giant eyeball◊. In one Tiny Toon Adventures episode, Plucky Duck tries to replicate this trick, which Daffy refers to as the "Clampett Corneal Catastrophe". Unfortunately Plucky gets stuck in it, leaving him as a giant eyeball with legs for the bulk of the cartoon, and on Picture Day no less. |

A rare live-action example in Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Del and Neal end up driving on the wrong side of a freeway at night, completely unaware of it until two huge trucks come barrelling towards them. Their car scrapes between the two semis and the pair scream. There is a series of fast cuts between the outside and inside of the car, and at one point we see that both Del and Neal have been replaced by google-eyed skeletons just to elevate the sheer cartoonish shock. This is followed by Neal looking over at Del and seeing him dressed as the devil himself, laughing maniacally. The two end up on the other side, hit the brakes and their suitcases fly off the back of the car and land on the road. Neil's fingertips are embedded in the dashboard and Del has bent the steering wheel. | |
