** Also happens in episodes 1 and 2 of "Nekomonogatari", such as when Araragi approaches Heart-Under-Blade.

* [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Roger Rabbit]] does this in the opening cartoon "Somethin’s Cookin". After a bunch of [[KnifeOutline knives pin him against the wall]] one final knife, a meat cleaver, hits the wall in between his legs [[GroinAttack just barely missing his crotch]]. His eyes bug out and dart to the cleaver as he gulps loudly.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheWindInTheWillows'', this is Toad's reaction when he's being sentenced to twenty years in prison.

* Early, extreme example in the WesternAnimation/OswaldTheLuckyRabbit cartoon ''The Fowl Ball'' (1930). As nervous Oswald loudly gulps, his Adam's apple bobs in his throat—and it's shaped like a ''real'' apple, complete with stem.
* Happens very frequently in ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' cartoons, with either Tom ''or'' Jerry in an OhCrap situation.
* Happens in [[OnceAnEpisode every episode]] of ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel'', just before Orel's father beats him as punishment for whatever he did wrong that day. CharacterDevelopment ensues when he stops reacting with this trope and starts to respond with a deadpan response.
