A pedicure is a cosmetic treatment that focuses on the care and grooming of the feet and toenails. It typically involves soaking the feet in warm water to soften the skin, followed by exfoliation, nail trimming, shaping, and buffing. The process also includes cuticle care, moisturizing, and sometimes the application of nail polish.
A pedicure is a time for relaxation and well-being, but it can prove to be decidedly unbearable for those whose feet are very sensitive to tickling. Scrubbing activities involve rubbing areas of the soles of the feet that are rich in nerve receptors.
The client then feels a strong urge to laugh and wriggle out of the touch, making the treatment difficult.
In addition, this can lead to embarrassment on the part of clients, both by making the beautician’s work difficult and by attracting the attention of other people present.
Ticklishness during a pedicure can vary from person to person. The tickling sensation often occurs when the feet, which are sensitive due to the many nerve endings present, are touched or manipulated. Some people may be more ticklish than others, and certain areas of the feet, such as the soles or the space between the toes, tend to be more ticklish.
Foot scrubbing can produce tickling sensations due to the high concentration of nerve endings in the soles of the feet. The skin on our feet is particularly sensitive, and when it comes into contact with certain textures or pressure, it can trigger a ticklish response.
It’s important to note that the ticklish sensation varies from person to person. Some individuals may find foot scrubbing extremely ticklish, while others may not experience it at all. The intensity of tickling can also depend on factors such as the specific scrubbing tool used, the pressure applied, and individual sensitivity.
The tickling sensation arises from a combination of factors. Firstly, the feet are an inherently sensitive part of the body due to their nerve endings. Additionally, the gentle touch and strokes during a pedicure can stimulate the nerve endings, causing a ticklish response. The use of tools like brushes, pumice stones, or even the sensation of the water can also contribute to the ticklish feeling.

Tickle pedicure scenes in TV series
Within movies, pedicure scenes depict a situation of comfort and bonding, where one person allows another to touch their typically covered feet.
Furthermore, pedicure scenes often carry comedic value. They are frequently filmed to show the character receiving the scrubbing laughing and squirming uncontrollably. This generates amusement for the viewers observing the scene.
Californication (S2X2)
Pedicure is one of those few circumstances in daily life in which one exposes one’s body to physical contact with a stranger. Sensitive body parts that are sensitive and usually covered, if they are unexpectedly touched, prompt a person to laugh as a reaction of surprise.
We have an example of this In “Californication” (season 2, episode 2)
Hank is giving Trixie a pedicure.
Trixie claims that Hank is doing a great job with her feet. At that moment Hank tickles Trixie’s foot. She suddenly smiles and starts laughing for a few seconds.
In this case, laughter is a sudden reaction that serves to vent the unexpected physical contact, and it is also a symptom of complicity between the two people.
Andromeda (S5 episode ?)
Receiving a pedicure is symbolically an act of devotion, as it involves entrusting another person with the task of performing manual activities for one’s own well-being.
Beka Valentine (Lisa Ryder) makes a pedicure during a conversation with the rest of the Andromeda’s crew. She can’t restrain to smile and laugh when her legs are touched.
Ugly Betty

Amagami SS
A fish pedicure is a beauty treatment where people immerse their feet in a tank of water containing small fish, usually a species called Garra rufa or “doctor fish.” These fish are known for nibbling on dead skin cells, providing a gentle exfoliating effect. As the fish nibble away the dead skin, it leaves the feet feeling smoother.
The reason why fish pedicures can make people laugh is primarily due to the ticklish sensation caused by the fish nibbling on the feet. The sensation can be quite unusual and unexpected for those who haven’t experienced it before, leading to spontaneous laughter or giggling. The idea of having fish as “pedicurists” is also seen as a quirky and amusing concept, which adds to the entertainment value and the potential for laughter.
In “Amagami SS”, two girl make a fish pedicure feeling a strong tickle.
Tickling pedicures in comics
Within comic book stories, the pedicure is a time when characters indulge in relaxation and self-care. Again, sensitive characters may feel ticklish during scrubbing, leading them to laugh and fidget convulsively, attracting the attention of the audience.

Make the goth girl laugh
In “Make the goth girl laugh #2” by Pawfeather, the protagonist must keep her demonic side in check by avoiding laughing. Unfortunately, a girl forcibly forces her into a pedicure session. Cleaning her feet causes a very strong tickle that forces her to try to hold back her laughter with all her might.
The beautician does not understand the situation and urges her to laugh freely, without embarrassment. There is nothing wrong with being tickled during a pedicure and having the need to laugh. The girl urges her to stop but the beautician continues with the foot cleaning, causing her to become very agitated and smile more and more. Until she gives in and turns.
