* CodenameKidsNextDoor had an episode where a fly got into the tower, and all the characters went FlyCrazy in their own way, Numbuh 1 and 4 trying to get rid of it (Numbuh 4 in the textbook overly violent self-destructive way), Numbuh 2 wanting to make a machine based off it, and Numbuh #3 trying to have a tea party with it. Things get increasingly weird as they each try to get to it, until it lands on Numbuh #5, [[CloserToEarth who catches it effortlessly and then gently releases it out the window]]. Too bad the fly [[TwistEnding was a spy-machine all along]].

* One of the early episodes of SportsNight featured Casey being plagued by this on the air, resulting in a noticeable flinch.
