Tickling is a gimmick often used in movies and TV series set in the past to create gags, to represent a joking way of interaction between individuals even in dark historical eras, or as an actual form of torture.
In the TV series “Xena: Warrior Princess” there are some tickling scenes, in episodes, bloopers and backstage.
In a photo, Renée O’ Connor is seemly tickled on her feet by Lucy Lawless while they’re having a bath.
In a blooper, Lucy Lawless sucks Renée O’Connor’s big toe making a funny face, and the actress’ laughter can be heard offscreen.
In one episode, Gabrielle and Xena are sleeping outside. At one point Gabrielle starts laughing and thinks Xena is tickling her.
“Xena…y-y-your tihihckling mehehe! That tihihihihckles! stahahap thahaht!”
The woman replies to her that she is not doing anything.
“Gabrielle, I’m not touching you.. if you dont be quiet and go to sleep, I will have to.”
Gabrielle checks and discovers with fright that snakes are crawling on her.
Episode “Chariots of war”. Xena mentions tickle. She says:
“Trolls have giant feet, I had to tickle him with a whole goose. […] I grabbed his big toe and i discovered that giants have a lot of weak points, so i defeated him by tickling.”
Lucy Lawless begins laughing during a makeup session as her feet are decorated.
