** Team RWBY appears under one in the third opening, with all of them looking depressed. That is, all except Ruby. [[spoiler:[[Foreshadowing By the end of the volume]], Weiss, Blake, and Yang have every reason to be.]]

* The third opening of ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' has a scene with the titular team sitting back-to-back under one of these, with forlorn expressions on each of their faces. It almost appears to be a four-person CornerOfWoe. [[spoiler:Ruby is the only one who ''doesn't'' look depressed, [[{{Foreshadowing}} and by the end of Volume 3]], Weiss, Blake and ''especially'' Yang will have every reason to be.]]

* "WebVideo/DeadpoolTheMusical": Deadpool steps away from a {{bar brawl}} and a bright spotlight shines on him while he reminisces in [[SongParody song]] about [[ADateWithRosiePalms humping his stuffed unicorn]] every morning.

* The ending to the ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' episode [[MusicalEpisode "LABretto"]]

* On the old ''Jimmy Durante Show'', Jimmy would close the show by singing a closing number while walking away from the audience, stepping from spotlight to spotlight across a darkened stage (simulating street lights).

** In another episode a depressed Abe Simpson walks off into a row of spotlights like Jimmy Durante only to be stopped by the usual lawyer who warns him to stop as it is copyright infringement

* ''Anime/{{Tamagotchi}}'': One shines over Kuromametchi twice in episode 16b - once when he's embarrassed over the Eco-usatchi triplets talking about he showed up at an ice skating event, and again after he responds to Mametchi and friends asking if he wants to try out new food at the Tama Cafe, contradicting the "lone wolf" personality he usually displays.

* ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'':

* Genie conjures several of these during his "Friend Like Me" song in Disney's ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}''.
* Happens during the song "Hakuna Matata" in ''Disney/TheLionKing''.

* Linus asks for one of these in ''WesternAnimation/ACharlieBrownChristmas'' for his TrueMeaningOfChristmas speech (seen in the page image for the latter).

* In the Australian play ''Lenny & Lee'', a spotlight shines on Lenny Bruce whenever he turns to address the audience, because it's done in the style of his stand-up comedy routine.

* ''Series/BlakesSeven''. In "Voice from the Past", a group of revolutionaries find their meeting hall plunged into darkness, then armed Federation troopers are revealed by spotlights and [[BigBad Servalan]] appears on the auditorium movie screen for some EvilGloating. Given that EvilIsHammy in TheVerse, presumably Servalan thought she'd better make a right proper production of her DynamicEntry, given that the rebels had been so considerate as to provide the theatre.
