Chris can't help but shudder in discomfort when the mime passes by.

'''Bruce:''' There are those who might agree with you--and others who wouldn't
* In a short ''Wonder Wart-Hog'' strip titled "Philbert and the Street Entertainer", a street mime starts doing a MirrorRoutine mocking Philbert Desanex. He promptly turns into Wonder Wart-Hog and rips the mime to bits, then starts juggling with the severed body parts, to the cheers of onlookers.

* ''ComicBook/ScoobyDooTeamUp'': When Angel and Sam hear screams, one of Sam's guesses is that "the audience realized they were watching mimes".
* PlayedForLaughs in both ''ComicStrip/{{Pondus}}'' and in the cartoon spinoff ''Rutetid'', where (among other things), a military manouver is shown to take place in a "Mime Field", which is (of course), oversown with mimes buried in earth to the hips.

** To say nothing of the few times Jon has tried being a mime himself.
** In [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1986/11/30 one strip]], when Jon refuses to give Garfield more food, Garfield says: "Do you know what happens to skinny people? ''They become mimes, Jon. Is that what you want?!! A mime?!''

* ''ComicStrip/PearlsBeforeSwine''
** One strip involves 2 characters whose speech balloons have popped. They then proceed to argue via body language. However, 2 bystanders confuse them for mimes, and promptly punch them in the head.

** In a 2021 Sunday strip, [[AuthorAvatar Stephan Pastis]] tries to jump the line for COVID-19 vaccination. In the final panel he says that he's at the end of the line, behind felons and mimes. Pig says, "Mimes should be behind felons."

* A Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses sketch featured Creator/DougWalker and Creator/BradJones attending an anime convention as a pair of incompetent {{jerkass}} mimes who talk a lot, disrespect their audience, and barely do any miming. And what miming they ''do'' do, is pretty lousy. They don't even like being mimes, they were just misinformed into [[MoneyDearBoy thinking that mimes are well paid]].

* In one short ''Wonder Wart-Hog" strip, a street mime starts doing a MirrorRoutine mocking Philbert Desanex. He promptly turns into Wonder Wart-Hog and rips the mime to bits, then starts juggling with the severed body parts, to the cheers of onlookers.

* The Crypt Keeper's opening segment in the episode [[Recap/TalesFromTheCryptS6E5RevengeIsTheNuts Revenge Is The Nuts]] has him working as a mime because he needs to raise money to pay off the [[IntimidatingRevenueService IRS]]. Judging by the few paltry coins and single dollar bill in and around his collection skull, it's not going great.

* Mimes are but one variety of harmless characters in ''VideoGame/{{Blood}}'' that Caleb can test out his weapons on. He enjoys this a good bit.

** Vetinari is not the worst, though. A former king of Ankh-Morpok had mimes tortured, leading to the phrase: "Pull the other one, it's got bells on it."

* In Creator/PeterDavid{{'s}} ''Literature/SirAproposOfNothing'', the title character is severely creeped out by the decor of a warlord's castle, which features murals of wholesale slaughter and furniture made from human bones, and reflects that during "good" festivals, the attendees are not seized by the impulse to run screaming into the night... ''"well, unless a mime is performing."''

** In one strip, when Jon refuses to give Garfield more food, Garfield says: "Do you know what happens to skinny people? ''They become mimes, Jon. Is that what you want?!! A mime?!''
