* WebAnimation/{{hololive}}: While many {{Virtual YouTuber}}s do ASMR content, [[Characters/HololiveJapanGenerationTwo Oozora Subaru's]] initial attempts were a hilarious failure as, between her [[NoIndoorVoice voice]] and not knowing what she was doing, she sounded more like a quacking duck than anything. However, she's improved greatly since then, and has also embraced the "Subaru is a duck" meme that sprang from her first tries.

* In [[LetsPlay/TheDerpCrew ZeRoyalViking]]'s "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9tOOa9Pbls I Bought an ASMR Microphone and Tested It on My Friends]]", he and fellow Derpers Tom Fawkes, John Page, and frequent collaborator [=RitzPlays=] mess around with a binaural microphone doing goofy takes on ASMR video dialogue.

* In an an episode of ''Series/SantaClaritaDiet'', Abbie insists to her parents that college is not her only option if she wants future financial success by citing her classmate who dropped out and now makes ASMR videos, and makes enough money to pay her parents' mortgage. She describes it as a "Non-Sexual Fetish".

* BobRossRib: Due to Bob Ross's popularity within the community, homages created by videomakers who dress up as him are not uncommon.

Creators from across the world post videos covering a ''wide'' variety of topics while featuring tons of ASMR triggers, and many channels exist specifically to cater to ASMR fans. Some people have also discovered that media outside the ASMR community can give the same reaction and have made videos documenting this; ''Series/TheJoyOfPainting'' is one well-known example due to Bob Ross' baritone voice and soft, soothing manner of speech. On the other hand, the genre does have its detractors, with common criticisms being simply finding the concept creepy, weird, or silly. Also, many people have strongly negative reactions to the ASMR response or certain trigger sounds ([[TheMisophonic misophonia sufferers]] especially).

Often used interchangeably with ASMR is "mukbang." Mukbang is a form of video where someone films themselves eating food (usually in large quantities) while talking to their viewers, either in a live-stream format or FakeInteractivity format. The trend began in UsefulNotes/SouthKorea but spread to other parts of the internet as well. Mukbang is not the same as ASMR, but many people find that it produces a similar effect as it involves similar triggers as ASMR videos. While mukbang does have a fanbase, it has been criticized for encouraging unhealthy binge eating, and along with being turned off by the sound of eating, people who aren't accustomed to East Asian cultures' acceptance of slurping may be turned off by that sound in particular.

While ASMR content really got its start on [=YouTube=], it's seen growth on Website/{{Twitch}} as well, with several [[VirtualYouTuber VTubers]] (ncluding members of WebAnimation/{{Hololive}} and WebAnimation/{{NIJISANJI}}) doing ASMR-focused streams.

* {{Fanservice}}: This sometimes factors into the theme of a video. For instance, some ASMR videos revolve around the creator being on a beach or showing off a clothing haul, which will involve the creator wearing swimsuits, low-cut and/or [[BareYourMidriff midriff-baring]] shirts, and the like. Other times, an [=ASMRtist=] will create a video cosplaying as a character known for having a fanservicey costume, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBSReHa2-bI this cosplay]] of Leeloo from ''Film/TheFifthElement'', or a scenario in which such dress would be the norm, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RC1OyZOg7Ro&t=2218s cosplaying an attendant at a hot spring spa]].

* OffTheShelfFX: Many ASMR performers are on a budget so they use household items, their personal property, and/or props that you could find at a "dollar store". Anything goes as long as it can provide the desired triggers. Some videos are just narration over StockFootage or video the creator shot themselves. In fact Jojo's ASMR has a parody in his "The Struggles Of An [=ASMRtist=]" video of how he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sA_lN5Xdf4&t=128s he can't go shopping without tapping random items around the store to see how they sound for a video]].

* UpCloseWithTheMonster: Some horror-themed ASMR videos are based around very close interactions with a certain monster or creature. Vampires and aliens are especially prominent for this type. For instance, Behind the Moons provides one for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWN_l7V7RSU each]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcpSl_oUn30 creature]].

** Most horror ASMRs where the speaker is a vampire will have the speaker telling the listener how amazing their blood tastes after feeding.

* ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'': In "[[Recap/BrooklynNineNineS7E08TheTakeback The Takeback]]", [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s6Bgz9F-cs Jake pretends]] to be "Matt Daniel" a fictional Twitch [=ASMRist=] (though the show calls him an ASMR Performer) complaining about the noise in his hotel room he's supposedly streaming from with Doug Judy acting as his agent. This is actually a ruse to get the concierge to leave her computer alone long enough for someone to hack into it.
* ''Series/JoePeraTalksWithYou'': Joe Pera speaks in a quiet, soothing voice, but three particular episodes are specifically dedicated to lulling the viewer to sleep, as well as being funny: "Joe Pera Talks You To Sleep", the animated special that preceded the live-action series, the season one episode "Joe Pera Talks You Back To Sleep", and a special called "Relaxing Old Footage with Joe Pera", released to calm people down during the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic.

* ''[[Machinima/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers SMG4]]'': Parodied in "Mario does Literally Anything for Views" where [=SMG4=], chasing trends to break 5 million subscribers, gets Mario to do an ASMR video in spite of both of them being clueless about what they even are. Mario proceeds to make strange mouth noises into the microphone. Ironically, it proves to be one of their few successful efforts. [=SMG4=] also attempt to get Mario to make a Mukbang video but [[BigEater Mario keeps eating everything too quickly to even see, let alone film.]]

* TheUnintelligible: Some videos have the [=ASMRtist=] whispering or mumbling in incoherent nonsense speech to use the flow of the spoken sounds as the trigger.

--> '''"There is a fine between 'soft spoken' and 'I literally cannot hear what you're saying.'"'''

* YouTasteDelicious: ASMR creators that emphasize what are generally called "wet mouth sounds" will do things such as making "ear eating" and kissing sounds into the microphone.
