When this troper's female friend became upset, she would grab whatever was closest and hug it as tightly as she could. When she was nervous over one of her exams, she happened to grab one of her shorter friends and cause this. When we noticed he was having trouble breathing, we had to ''pry'' him out of her hands.

{{This troper}} gives MarshmallowHell to male friends when playing variations of the nervous game. And whenever her little sisters are upset (they're only chest height) they get pulled close and told to rest "upon my booobies." They start giggling uncontrollably and oblige. Actually, a whole joke with this troper's friends is that whenever one of the girls is upset, the one with the biggest bosom comforts them.

Can I be your friend?

Unintentional, but hilarious when this troper's girlfriend decided to run over and hug him just as he decided to tie his shoes. Look up and *pow* marshmallow sandwich!

{{This troper}} got it twice in five minutes from the same girl. First was a just because hug when I was seated (meaning she was standing and I was sitting so that my head would be more or less chest level) she pulled back a few seconds later when she realized what was happening. Second, I did something for her and she hugged me (still seated) out of appreciation. A few seconds later she pulled back and said, "Dammit! I need to stop doing that."

Sad story: she did stop.

SAD?

This troper's, ahem, well-endowed female friend often uses this technique to incapacitate her years-younger and much shorter hyperactive brothers. It somehow manages to escape being at all creepy or sexual. Also, very effective.

This is a good way to calm a crying baby. (no, not suffocating them!) It reminds them of their mom and it calms them down. This tropette babysits and had a baby scream for two hours before finally trying this out of desperation... It worked. So just a tip. Really.)

Lucky kids. {{This troper}} has experienced a subversion from a well-endowed lady friend who is much shorter than him - but whose firm D-cups line up perfectly with his solar plexus, usually resulting in ''knocking the wind out of him'' with a glomp. She will never need to perform the Heimlich maneuver from behind.

Also called the "Wench Clench" at Renaissance Faires.

Man, rennies can be creepy. But in a humorous version, witnessed by {{this troper}} at the faire where he works, a 5'11'' singer sang an improvised verse of the bawdy classic "The Ball of Kennemuir" to the 5'2" Alan-a-Dale... #QUOTE#''Alan-a-Dale came to the ball\\ The man can dance all right\\ He's got a lovely singing voice\\

clench* \\ And just the perfect height!''

Umm, {{this troper}} was in a play recently where the director decided to have a double-D senior shove a sophomore boy's face into her chest every single time they did this certain scene resulting in many distracting giggles from the wings which then pissed off the director... Oh, and did I mention the two kids were playing mother and son!

This tropette did this on accident when trying to shove her friends door open and ended up falling in right on top of her older brother giving him a face full of boob. He would have been happier if I hadn't accidently kneed him in the groin at the same time....

Female orthodontia assistants. Not quite the same (as that would require obstructing the mouth, preventing the job from being done), but they tend to get a bit... close.

There's a nurse who takes blood at the doctor's office I go to. She's a tiny woman, about mid-50s (I'm 25 BTW), but is reasonably well endowed and wears a low-cut shirt most of the time. When she's taking my blood, there's physically nowhere I can look without seeing cleavage. After about the fifth time that happened, I finally remarked, "nice butterfly." She just laughed.

Comedian and ventriloquist Jeff Dunham has a routine on this very topic.

I happened to notice that all of the assistants at my orthodontist's office tend to be attractive and blonde. Weird thing is, the orthodontist himself is gay.

I have this happen at my dentist's office all the time. Usually I get one "pillow" smooched into the side of my face by one of the female assistants. It's also funny that they always compliment me on my nice teeth every time I go in there.

Back when I had teeth-braces, my orthodintist happened to be female with two female assistants. That chair was heaven.

{{This troper}} has had a very well-endowed friend do this to him once, and he passed out as a result.

{{This troper}} has multiple well-endowed friends to whom he essentially does the reverse. Shoves his face into their bosoms. Fortunately for this troper's nether-regions, everyone knows he's a joker, and he doesn't get ''too'' many GroinAttacks out of it.

{{This troper}} has been blessed with a well-endowed partner, who will either deliver the hug herself or enjoy me resting on her chest, calling her "cozy" or "the best pillow ever."

Ditto for This Troper and his girl! She actually enjoys it very much when I use her D's for pillows, and when I'm feeling stressed she will enforce MarshmallowHell. Stress? What stress?

Same here. This Troper's wife enjoys giving him Puff-Puff.

Ditto here too. There just isn't a stress that can't be solved with...marshmallows.

Oh you lucky bastards.

{{This troper}} tends to give that hug frequently. I'm the only girl in my group, and three of the boys have yet to hit their growth-spurt. I'm pretty well-endowed, and as I'm also quite a hugger they usually end up with a faceful of boob. The problem is that I'm quite skinny and have really bad balance, so we usually fall over. I've also had taller male friends express jelousy as they never get these hugs, unless they're sitting down.

{{This troper}} makes a point to visit a certain hair cut place here in town for this very reason. One girl always leans in, and I get the Puni Puni Poemy treatment.

If Natalie Bailey is reading this, this is her fair warning that attempting to smother those shorter than herself is considered cheating in Red Rover.

Subverted in {{real life}}... When troper got a bad day, he talked to a well endowed friend about this. She hugged him, but, as his head was being more and more near to ... comfort, she blocked his head with her hand and made it lean back, denying him any Marshmellow Hell... This made {{this troper}} even sadder!

Oh you unlucky bastard.

One of this troper's friends is unsually tall and unusually curvy. For whatever reason, requests for hugs were always accepted, leading to an effect not much different than this.

{{This troper}} is only 5'3" but has a 34E chest. Working as tech support, she often turns (while standing) to show a sitting person how something is done on a PC, and the person turns his head to look at her... HilarityEnsues.

Oh you lucky in a sense bitch.

Um...I've been having some technical issues...

This troper gives her sympathies to you. She is just a little shorter and pretty damn busty as well. The back aches alone... 38GG. That stands for 'Good God.'

Really, well, that's...too bad. ask for pics. Don't ask for pics. Don't ask for pics. Don't ask for pics...Got any pics? [[spoiler:FUCK!]]

This troper is another 34 Eer however I'm 5'7" and have been know to use marshmellow hell on my (straight) female friends as a method of shutting them up. It works. I would use on guys but the only male friend I have is a gay giant.

Can I be your friend?

This troper is 16, and her 38D bra is has been too small for a while. I can't run, I can't hug, and I can't even jump for a hanging light switch without EVERYONE staring. And I can't even jog without worrying about stretch marks. Take it from me, bigger is not always better. Plus, it's damn hard to find a shirt that'll fit right, without baring my navel.

This troper is 18, yet so short that he comes face to face, er, a little lower with most girls. However, given that people usually bend down to hug, it's played normally mostly. Other than plays, he rarely gets hugs from non relatives though.

This editor ''wanted'' to do this intentionally, but I chickened out. It ''did'', however, happen in a dream...

This troper is taller (about 6'1") than most of her friends, and has a 32DD chest. She has managed to get her friend's face stuck in her cleavage on several occasions.

How the hell does someone get their face ''stuck'' in...You know what? Never mind. I don't need to know.

Yes you and I do!

This troper is seemingly at the perfect height to get a face full of breast whenever her female friends try to hug her. Awkwaaaaaard.

It's only awkward if you make it awkward. (Ever notice awkward is, well, awkward to type?)

This troper had a slouch that puts his head at good level to hit breasts, although he receives it mostly from the {{Pettanko}} of his friends. It's actually nicer than it sounds, boob hell from a flat-chested, I mean.

{{Pettanko}}s can hold you closer to their heart when they do that :D

Awww

Now I feel like a jerk for having a large chest. :C

This troper gets it from two people: a close female friend normally as a greeting or a reward for something, and from his girlfriend mostly as a present or as part of foreplay. Its weird knowing the friend is bisexual and occasionally depraved and has vehemently shown interest in both myself and my girlfriend.

Lucky bugger.

This troper and two of his friends once had this little snippet: -> ''(Me and my friend ... (lets call her "T") crash into each other)'' -> '''Me:''' ... Ow, please get off me. -> '''T:''' Why? am I too heavy for you? -> '''Me:''' No only ... um, your boobs are in my face. -> ''(Another (female) friend (who we'll call "L" ... No relation) starts laughing)'' -> ''(Me and T get up) -> '''L:''' Yeah, I think thats conclusive proof that your gay. -> '''Me:''' Why? -> '''L:''' Because you want a girls tits ''out'' of your face! ... This troper is actually Bisexual, by the way.

This troper had a girlfriend who thought it was vengeful to stop people being able to go upstairs. I never had the heart to point out what standing two steps above someone and pushing down on their shoulders actually achieved.

This troper had a short, busty supervisor at his job. While seated at my desk, I heard her say my name and rotated my chair around. And so I found myself about half an inch from unintended marshmallow hell. Fortunately, I was able to explain my reaction as "you startled me."

This troper's friend plans to marshmallow him if/when they get a chance to meet in person.

Ths Troper's girlfriend always does this to her. It's wonderful. I call them my squishy bags'o'fun.

This troper wrote a celebrity erotica story where he gets this from AmberBenson. And then it really gets interesting...

This C-cupped troper is 5'9", and while I ''was'' taller than my ex-boyfriend, it was only by two inches, so this didn't come into play. However, my youngest brother is unfortunately of a height where I have to be very careful when I hug him, or else I risk giving him some interesting stories to tell a shrink later.

This Troper tends to get this from his girlfriend (34D) - and her twin sister. Though that's usually unwilling...* cough*

This 5'11", well endowed Troper has to bend over when hugging her significantly shorter friends in order to avoid this.

Then of course, there is the fact that the guy she currently likes is much shorter than her. (Don't worry, we've not hugged yet.)

Unfortunately, it appears that this trope is permanently averted for this troper, as he is absurdly tall (in fact taller than pretty much everyone he knows). CURSE YOU GENETICS!

MarshmallowHell: only slightly worse than {{Gentle Giant}}s who pick you up to hug you. I'M NOT THAT SMALL, GEEZ.

Most Valentine's Day memories are not ones I'd care to remember, especially during my K-12 years as they were awkward, forced, phoney, or all three! But the one I do love to recall is when I blew my meager savings for a dozen red roses on my then-sweetheart...who was both taller than me and might as well have had watermelons stuffed down her shirt. On coming to school the day after the flowers were anonymously delivered, said troper received the Mother Of All Marshmellow ~Heavens~...in the main room. In front of several friends and the principal. The ensuing teasing and syrupy comments endured for at least a month, but I could have cared less, although I was so goofy one teacher asked if I'd been smoking weed!

D'awwwwww.

When I was in crew, I got glomped by a female rower with an impressive pair (they must have been at least half a grapefruit in size each.) It was pretty sweet, as she was wearing a skintight uni at the time. Heck, any time she hugged me I seriously risked being trapped in their. Needless to say, it was pretty extreme

This troper doesn't have a story about this, but would like to say that given the volume here, tvtropes may increase bosom size? I say experiment. For, er, purely scientific purposes.

Do let us know how it goes.

This troper is 5'4" and regularly cosplays as Simon. Experiencing MarshmallowHell courtesy of Yoko cosplayers with a sense of humour is a frequent consequence of his choosing to cosplay as Simon in particular. An ''awesome'' consequence.

Wow. This troper knows what he's gonna wear the next time he goes to an anime convention...

This tropette is under five foot with 36 Fs... and accidentally does this to ''anyone'' I hug who is sitting down. Including, to my intense embarrassment, my parents.

A small 7th grader attended my high school for advanced math. My friend cheerfully asked if she could give him a hug. He agreed, and smushed himself in her boobs, much to everyone's amusement. While complaining about that last bit, she mentioned in passing how he hadn't done that the first time. Me: "Why did you hug him?" Friend: "Well, he looked like Harry Potter! Don't judge me!"

This troper likes to act as the innocent one (and for the most part is) in a social circle of perverts, girls included. A few times, whenever someone said something sexual, I would hide my head in my shirt by pulling the collar up over it. After doing that a few times, four girls decided to hug me all at once when I was doing it. When I was sitting down. 360 degrees worth of boobs.

This 36DD troper rather enjoys inflicting this upon her boyfriend for various reasons... Unfortunately, I'm 16 and he's almost 18, so I may need to find other ways to have fun with this.

Now that I think of it, if my friend weren't such a cautious and reluctant hugger, she would do this. Maybe that's why she is one.

This troper is going through it now, courtesy of my girlfriend. She also constantly loves doing this to me to tease me. No complaining from me either.

In the 2010 Madison Savoyards production of ''HMSPinafore'', the actor playing Sir Joseph was rather short. In the end, when Josephine went to Ralph, Hebe got Sir Joseph's attention this way.

This troper decided to be funny and flash her friend... who is bisexual and not very good with girls. She hugged him from behind shirtless and he got a nosebleed by that. When he came back (nosebleed gone), she flashed him and hugged him with her chest against his clothed one... he got another nosebleed. Poor guy needs more boobs.

In the meantime, however, I am available to receive his alloted quantity of boobs in his stead

This troper is fairly short...

Seems as though there's a lot of well endowed Troperettes.

This is the anecdote section for an act that requires an, er, imposing figure. That's a mother of a sample bias - weigh this page against A-Cup Angst, for instance.

This troper has a good number of friends that could do this, and he's tried very slyly to invoke this trope by "accident" a few times. But I can't get it to work. Man, can't get away with nuthin'...

This troper does it to her boyfriend when he's sitting at his computer (I'm shorter than him if he's standing). It's actually gotten to the point where he'll hide in my boobs and look up at me with this adorable wide-eyed expression.

Having a VERY well-endowed chest myself... Any hug I give to my younger siblings or shorter friends turns into this. Sad thing? No one cares.

I would!

This troper, through a series of interesting events involving her well-endowed best friend, discovered that, if someone is sitting down and a girl the same height as them goes to hug them, his or her head would be about chest level, resulting in this. Amusingly enough, said best friend didn't seem to notice or mind...

This troper had a friend unexpectedly sit on his lap at school because it was the only seat. Except her ample chest was blocking his view of anything else. He didn't complain. She moved when he said something stupid ("Wow. You're really lighter than I thought you'd be.") She jumped off and landed the back of her hand square across his face. He honestly didn't intend to say she looked fat but it sure came out that way.

Is it possible to have a gender-reversed version of this? Because if so, then this Troper has a story: ballroom dancing in PE. He's the tallest guy in the class, and got partnered with the shortest girl in the class (about a head and then some shorter than he is). Made it hard to look her in the eyes.

This troper joined the anime club at his school. Keep in mind he is a short, skinny, adorable 12 year old boy. Once the high school girls saw me their immediate response was "Oh my gawd! he's so tiny!" Soon I found myself in marshmallow hell.

This troper is the most well-endowed out of my immediate circle of friends. Cue other girls ducking down when we hug, just so they can put their head on/in my chest. I've also been told, by numerous people, that I have a very comfortable bosom.

This troper seriously wants to know how, no matter whether I'm standing or sitting or what position my best friend is in, I ''always'' manage to get this when she hugs me. We're both approximately the same height, so either she's doing it on purpose (which would mean she likes me or she's just being a bitch...which isn't like her at all)...or God really hates me.

This troper accidentally did this. To her (seated) MALE best friend. While his girlfriend was watching. And then we all quite nearly died of laughter or embarrassment.

This troper remembers a time when he was in the seventh grade and during a pizza party for the honor roll, one kid had an allergic reaction to something in the pizza, and when his reaction kicked in my hilariously well endowed english teacher jammed the poor/lucky bastards face in between her tits and marched him out of the room. Had I been a braver boy I would've announced "I'll have what he's having."

this used to happen to me when i was younger, shorter, and actually a bit more prudish, i hadn't hit growth spurt yet so i was only about 4-4.5 feet tall, every girl in my class never had any thoughts for me, that i know of, but a few of the girls in classes higher than me made known that they were interested. now i'm 6 foot something turning 18 and i actually have a libido and sadly i'm too tall for this to ever happen again...

This (gay) troper gets this constantly, usually tripping and landing face first into cleavage, cue slaps.

This troper, while not involved, heard of a good one from a friend and her then boyfriend. She had once inflicted massive marshallow hell upon him when, right in the middle of the ordeal, said boyfriend's braces became hopelessly hooked in her shirt. In the middle of the mall. For fifteen minutes. Hilarity Ensued.

A friend of mine saw me and went all "AAAW CUUUUTE! MUST HUG" and the force of the hug made her well endowments squish against my neck. I'm a straight female so my response was not, as she put it, "I'm gonna die happy~" but "ack can't breathe".

Several instances with a two best friends when I was 15. I was an awkward youth. But unrelated to any of them...

Here's a mathematical equation for you. Pool+Eyeballs=Chlorine+Eyeballs. Chlorine+Eyeballs=Stinging Pain+Altered Vision. Stinging Pain+Altered Vision+Closed Eyes=Chlorine+Eyeballs-Stinging Pain-Altered Vision-Eyesight. Chlorine+Eyeballs-Eyesight=Pool-Eyesight. Pool-Eyesight=Faceplant Into Older Woman's Cleavage. Faceplant Into Older Woman's Cleavage+Apology×Profuse=Prompt Forgiveness.

ThisTroper (Brick3621) has a female friend who is slender, but very well endowed. (Come to think of it, she looks a ''lot'' like Tifa Lockhart.) She's shorter than I am, so I don't get a ''faceful'' when she hugs me, but it's still... slightly uncomfortable. At one point, we actually ''did'' start dating, and she was all for snuggling together, but I usually wound up resting my head on her shoulder because there was no way in heck I was going to discreetly move lower, let alone casually ask her to change her position so as to make access easier. Looking back, we ''did'' make out a lot, so maybe she wouldn't have been offended about touching her there. Not ''fondling'', mind you.

This troper was once taking some rather fanservicey pictures with a female friend of hers. Said female friend proceeded to grab the back of my head and pull my head down between her very ample chest which was further supported by a corset. Cue me managing just for three pictures before starting to flail and pulling away abruptly. She had crushed my mouth and nose so tightly against her cleavage that I had literally been unable to breathe in.

Pics or it didn't happen.

One time I was in a movie theater, looking at one of the movie posters. When I turned around, I crashed face-first into a ''very'' hot, ''very'' busty girl's chest. Of course, I was ''8'', so it wasn't too terribly exciting, and my mom saw the whole thing...And I'm 6'1 now, so this will never happen to me again.

This Troper's Girlfriend is more than happy to take any and every chance to shove his face in her E's, or let him rest on them whenever he has a bad day or is just plain tired.

My friend was sitting down, I was standing up, and I hugged him. I didn't realise just what was happening until he yelled "Face full of cleavage!" Awkward. D:

This troper has a friend who's recognized by all as well endowed. As we're a little close, and she's just a really GenkiGirl, she's always so up and happy about everything. So, when we meet on other times, she greets me with hugs. I was sitting, all normal, when she just suddenly came in a burst and hugged me. And no, I didn't have the time to stand up. 'Mellow Hell for me.

I used to do this on purpose to my sister sometimes when she was younger. In fact, she was tall enogh that her mouth alined with my nipple! The problem being, that i am a dude...

This Troper was attending a play in a theatre with his class, when the girl sitting behind him (me) stood up and bowed a little in order to say something to someone else in another row. Resulting in her breasts on my head. I'm not sure she did noticed something, but as for me... it was pleasant.... ^_^

I have a friend who has a habit of grabbing my head and hugging it to her chest. I think I would probably enjoy this more if I were shorter, but she's tiny, and she basically has to forcefully bend me down do administer MarshmallowHell. I tried to do this back to her one day, but because I'm flat, it didn't work quite so well..

This Troper knew a girl who did this to him. She became his boyfriend after a while and good times were had by all.
