* In ''Film/NightAtTheMuseum'' ''Battle for the Smithsonian'', a bust of Teddy Roosevelt comes to life along with the other statues and paintings in the Museum. Larry and Amelia Earhart get some information about the tablet from him since he can read the hieroglyphics. One thing he does ask for them to scratch his nose, since he has no arms nor hands.

* NSFW short ''Hell Season: The Holes'' tells us the story about a girl named Yumiko, who once felt a weird itch on her backside. When she scratched that, it felt [[BetterThanSex undescribably good]]. Soon, the itch spreaded and... let's say that, at the end of the story, poor Yumiko [[BodyHorror looked like a beehive.]]

* On ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', Lrr has just finished a broadcast warning Earth of its impending doom, when he comments on getting an itch at the worst possible time (and place) and proceeds to scratch it. Then he's informed that they're still broadcasting...

* It is inconvenient to have an itch inn your eyes or on the roof of your mouth. Your eyes are a bad spot because they are very sensitive, so if you rub them too much, they will get sore. The roof of the mouth is a bad place to get an itch because the skin and gums are so hard that you can't get it with your fingers and using your tongue is very hard.

* In one ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' episode, Danny and Valerie end up in the Ghost Zone and are forced to team up against Skulker. After a while, they end up trapping him, tying him up, and leaving him on the floor as they exit the zone. At that point Skulker exclaims: "okay now ''my nose itches''."

When a character suddenly becomes afflicted by an intense itch, and they either can't scratch it for fear of certain consequences, or have no means of scratching it on their own. The intensity of the itch will often scale upwards with their inability to take care of it, especially if they are tied up or busy holding a sensitive package full of Explodium.

* PlayedForDrama in the Literature/NewJediOrder book ''Destiny's Way''. The Yuuzhan Vong have captured the galactic capital, Coruscant, and begun [[{{Terraforming}} aggressively xenoforming]] the planet -- but the World Brain, the living computer responsible for running the process, is working against them due to the events of the previous books. One of the symptoms is an "itching plague" that strikes at the worst times, like inside [[BadBoss Supreme Overlord Shimrra]]'s DeadlyDecadentCourt. One member of the court (Master Shaper Yoog Skell, whose job it was to fix the World Brain; obviously he didn't do it very well) was actually ''executed'' for scratching.

* In ''Series/TheATTeam'' episode "[[Recap/TheATeamS1E12TillDeathDoUsPart Till Death Do Us Part]]", Jackie Taylor, the victim of the week, and every member of the team but B.A. ends up with something in a cast after a bad landing, and judging from the fact that people are warned against saying "itch" several times, they're experiencing a lot of itchiness in the affected parts.

* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'', a young witch finds herself being sexually harassed by a soldier, who should have known better. She wishes him an itch. The sort that will come on while he is tanding at attention on the parade square while a drill sergeant is watching for the merest movement to find fault with. And that itch is going to become more uncomfortable, soldier. And you are going to want to scratch it. Even though your sergeant is then going to scream in your face from inches away. As described in the works of Creator/AAPesimal, that witch was not bothered again.
