* Bobby from ''WesternAnimation/AnExtremelyGoofyMovie'' stares at his hands once, and then wonders why so many of the cast are wearing WhiteGloves.

* For [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight Sparkle]], the most jarring part about her [[HumanityEnsues transformation into a human]] in ''WebAnimation/EquestriaGirls'' is the fact that she now has ''fingers.''

* The finger-less [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls Powerpuff Girls]] seem to be all right with this. Inverted and lampshaded in "Criss Cross Crisis". The Professor's gone-wrong experiment causes everybody to switch bodies, with Buttercup in the Professor's body. When she sees she now has fingers, she bursts into tears.

* In an episode of ''Series/{{Community}},'' after getting high, Pierce puts his hands on someone's shoulders then freaks out about them being someone else's hands and runs away.

Not the same as [[ContemplateOurNavels contemplating your navel]]. Common hobby of TheStoner. See also TheseHandsHaveKilled for when a character contemplates his or her hands for an entirely different reason.

->''"They call 'em 'fingers', but I never see them find!"''

** In the episode "The Problem With Popplers", King Lrr of the Omicronians does this after eating a hippie: "Dude, my hands are huge. They can touch anything but themselves..." And then he touches them together. "Oh, wait."

*** Buttercup: "Professor, your hand doesn't work!"

** When the phone rings, she tries to pick it up...only to slap the phone onto the floor. "ARGH! Professor, your hand doesn't work!"

* On ''Theatre/TheOddCouple'' Felix takes a sabbatical in a monastery and spends a day marveling over his hand (before realizing that his foot is just as interesting).

* In the extended edition of ''Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheReturnOfTheKing'', [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame Gimli]] and [[OurElvesAreBetter Legolas]] have a drinking contest. Now, [[AllThereInTheManual according to Tolkien's notes]], alcohol [[NeverGetsDrunk is not supposed to affect elves]], however, they drink so much of it that Legolas mentions that he's starting to feel tingles in his hand and begins gazing at it like a stoner. At the same time, Gimli is busy passing out.

* In ''VideoGame/CrashTwinsanity'', after clearing Cavern Catastrophe Crash is seen doing this after he and Cortex both get out of the caves. Cortex was not impressed, to say the least.
