* While LetsPlay-ing ''SonicTheHedgehog2006'', pokecapn and company can be heard going through all five stages, in order, over the two hours it took them to struggle through [[ScrappyLevel the game's worst level]], End Of The World. This wasn't lost on pokecapn, who divided the entire ordeal into five videos and subtitled each with one of the five stages. And [[http://www.viddler.com/explore/Daduzi/videos/1/ this video]] summarizes the whole thing in two minutes.

* An interesting twist in ''{{Blackadder}}'', in which a season 3 episode features suicide pills, which stages are depression, loss of temper, forgetfulness and happiness, in that order. Oh, and before you die you jump in a corner.

* TheEmperorsNewSchool had Kronk go through this as he came to terms with being left in the wild for a project. However, since it's a [[ThreeShorts two-shorts show]], he only goes through three stages (denial, depression and acceptance) and Malina identifies them after he goes through them.

* Quite an easy example to miss, but in the ''Alpha Protocol'' mission where you assault Konstantin Brayko's mission he'll go through the five stages of grief depending on when/if you choose to execute him in the conversation. Shoot him straight away and he'll barely have time to utter a "no..!", whereas if you execute right at the very end he'll go out with a joke.

\n* If you look closely, you can see the [[FullmetalAlchemist Elric brothers]] go through this after their mother's death.
--> Denial: Not shown, but implied by how the Elric brothers are convinced their mother will not be dead for long.
--> Anger: Edward has this reaction at her funeral, but is not angry at his mother- he's angry at his father (who he blames for his mother's death).
--> Bargaining: The attempt to bring their mother BackFromTheDead.
--> Despair: After their effort [[CameBackWrong fails with horrible results]], the Elric brothers become very depressed.
--> Acceptance: They accept the fact that dead people cannot come back to life, and focus their efforts on getting their bodies back.

* ''GroundhogDay'' has the main character going through precisely these stages as he learns how to deal with the eponymous day. First he can't believe it (denial), then he does all sorts of anti-social things like over-eating, robbing the armored car, sleeping with all of the attractive women in town, etc (anger), then he tries to figure out what he can do (bargaining), then he just gives up and falls back into bed (despair), until finally he accepts the situation and becomes a better person.
