* ''Film/{{Big}}'': After waking up transformed into an adult, Josh heads to his bathroom and sees himself in the mirror. He laughs at first, checking behind the mirror to see how the joke works, [[OhCrap only to realize it's not a prank.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/FetchWithRuffRuffman'': This happens to Ruff in the [[TheTeaser cold open]] for "How Not to Impress the Press". Wanting to be featured on the Canine Weekly Magazine, he wants to try out some beauty cream (which actually a [[MagicPotion magical concoction called "Enchanted" with a cauldron]]) when he puts it on his face, The scene cuts to [[TransformationDiscretionShot Blossom's face as Pink smoke suddenly covers the screen]], when Blossom can see again, she [[NotSoStoic suddenly almost]] [[StressVomit throws up]] and holds up a mirror for Ruff to see his reflection, and [[MoodWhiplash we get treated with]] a ''very'' [[NauseaFuel gross sight of Ruff as a turkey vulture]] with his voice changed to sounding parrot-like. Cue Ruff having a FreakOut. Thankfully, Ruff's shown to be back to normal in the [[TheStinger ending scene]] because the effects wore off, [[HereWeGoAgain only to accidentally turn back into a vulture again.]]

* PlayedForLaughs in one episode of ''Anime/YugiohZEXAL''. Yuma walks into class in increasingly strange outfits, oblivious to the snickers and confusion his classmates show him. It's only after he's given a mirror on the third or so day that he realizes that he's dressed like a weirdo.

* In [[VideoGame/DeepSleepTrilogy Deepest Sleep]], this is how the protagonist realizes they have [[spoiler: become a Shadow Person.]]

* In ''Fanfic/BlueSky'', Wheatley is transferred into a humanoid HardLight body by Chell, but doesn't appear to notice until she shows him his face in a piece of reflective glass.
