* Justified in ''VideoGame/ToTheMoon:'' In the memories of clients, most people are displayed as translucent figures of static. While this avoids the need to design unique characters for memories that won't be visited again, it also serves as a reminder that the client doesn't remember everyone around them: only remembering what these people said and their general figure.

The reason there was quite understandable: there's only so much memory on a cartridge/CD, and a minuscle amount of RAM and processor resources to draw a lot of sprites or polygons at once, and nobody could fault the programmers for spending it on the main action and leaving the crowd as a bunch of cardboard cutouts (or just a flat texture which, more often than not, looked kinda like a pizza that someone stepped on). With the latest systems, however, this is no longer the case, and thus crowd animation is part of the criteria by which sports games are judged.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Consolers}}, characters used to represent "regular people", customers, fans ect. are usually drawn as simple, blue chibi-humanoids with no face except for a mouth. Nintendo's investors are drawn in a similar way... with a big "I" on their face.

** This ended up being retconned as a side effect of long-term 'memory fatigue' in ''ComicBook/TheTransformersIDW''. As robots, they should be able to remember everything they experience, but the further back a memory goes, the unimportant background items or bystanders 'lose resolution' and become this trope. Cybertronians focus only on the important parts of a memory, and things such as incidental crowds or bystanders eventually blend into faceless, uniformly colored masses.

* Most [=NPCs=] in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiV'' have detailed clothes but no faces. This turns out to be [[NinjaProp diegetic]]; a third-year student at the temple mentions that her teachers and some classmates have indistinct faces.

* In ''Manga/CaseClosed'', when someone is suspiciously eavesdropping on a conversation (or whatever) and we don't know who it is, they are just a black silhouette with an utterly bald, mannequin-like head. (The eyes are still shown, though, and they're often bloodshot psychotically.) Very UncannyValley, and it makes the criminals seem even more inhuman. Ooh, philosophical.
