* ''WesternAnimation/TheNewScoobyDooMovies'': In "[[Recap/TheNewScoobyDooMoviesTheGhostlyCreepFromTheDeep The Ghostly Creep From The Deep]]," the Harlem Globetrotters suggest an impromptu basketball game with the gang to while away time in a deserted mansion. When they see the Trotters do their thing, Velma suggests a group huddle to plan a strategy against them.

* WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls do this on occasion, most notably with Mojo Jojo in "Forced Kin" as they must come up with a plan to stop an alien power from taking over Townsville.

* Music/{{Nightwish}} does one of these with their band members before every concert. It took on a much darker turn when they did one after a concert instead, and fired lead singer Tarja Turunen while in it.

-->'''Homer:''' ''It's a huddle. You have to talk like this.''
-->'''Lisa:''' ''Fine, I'll talk like this.'''
-->'''Homer:''' WHAAAT?!

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'' subverted this in the episode where Plankton plans to take over Bikini Bottom... err, Gulch. First it looks like the citizens huddling together, only to reveal that [[spoiler: it was just Spongebob making whispering sounds because he didn't really have a plan.]]

* ''Film/FlashGordon'' (1980). When Flash is beating Ming's warriors at "football", Klytus calls them together into a huddle and instructs them on how to beat him.

* ''Film/TheMightyDucks'' used this.

* For a manga about football, this is actually inverted in ''{{Eyeshield 21}}''; in order to win the Christmas Bowl, the Deimon Devil Bats decide that they need to go the entire second half without a huddle so their opponents, the undefeated Teikoku Alexanders, won't have time to think.

* Families conferring for an answer to steal on ''Family Feud''.

* Also spoofed on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', when the family huddles to think of a plan to get their counselor out of a tree. (Long story.) Homer begins whispering, while Lisa talks in her normal voice...

* The audience-participation version appears in the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E15TheSuperSpeedyCiderSqueezy6000 The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000]]", when the Apple family gets into a huddle to discuss whether or not to accept the Flim/Flam brothers' partnership deal. The camera whips around to each member in turn, and ends to reveal that Flim and Flam have ''also'' joined in their huddle.

* Every football movie ever. Actually, every sports movie ever. Actually, just every sport. Actually, you know what? This happens all the time in RealLife.
** Fun fact: the huddle was [[TropeMaker invented]] by a football team from Gallaudet University, a college for deaf students, allowing the players to plan the next play without telegraphing it to the other team via hand signals.

* Used in ''RedTails'', in which dozens of pilots form a massive huddle to pray and CrowdChant, psyching themselves up for a crucial mission.

* In the classic ''MorkAndMindy'' episode, "Mork's Mixed Emotions," as a inversion of it. Mork, whose emotions are each presenting themselves as separate personalities, leans down as to confer with them in a ''one person'' huddle. After he's finished, Mindy asks what was the result and Mork answers "[[TitleDrop We have mixed emotions]]."

* The heroes in the ''{{MST3K}}''-featured ''Time of the Apes'' do this at one point, prompting Crow to state their plan as "We'll bang our heads together and walk around in a daze!"
