* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' and ''WesternAnimation/Incredibles2'' both feature security camera nostril shots of the diminutive Edna Mode.

A classic example comes from ''Film/TheBlairWitchProject'', spawning several parodies. If done well, it can be very creepy, but it has been [[DeadHorseTrope mocked mercilessly ever since]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Igor}}'': At one point, Scamper comments, "Can you imagine a face like that on a 40-foot screen?" Cut to an [[ExaggeratedTrope extreme]] close-up of Eva.

* Creator/TessMasazza: She parodies the famous scene of the trope namer in an episode of her Web Series ''Insopportabilmente Donna''. She records a last message to her parents and friends where she begs forgiveness for “having agreed to this madness”. The “madness” being [[HorribleCampingTrip an outdoor camping trip]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': Parodied ''The Blair Witch Project''.

* Leslie mimicks this shot when he and the guys were lost in the woods in a ''ComicStrip/LibertyMeadows'' comic.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Igor}}'': At one point, Scamper comments, "Can you imagine a face like that on a 40-foot screen?" Cut to extreme close-up of Eva.

* ''Film/TheBlairWitchProject'': Heather records herself crying and talking to the camera, apologizing to her mom and her friends' mothers for starting the project and dragging them to the forest. The take shows only half her head, and especially noticeable is her nose and eyes. (According to the DVD commentary, this was accidental; the actress thought she was filming her whole face.) It's a point where she has given up on finding their way out of the woods and saving themselves.
* ''Film/ScaryMovie'' poked fun at the ''Blair Witch'' scene, complete with a runny nose that just keeps running.

* Done easily and often in ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway''. One game of ''World's Worst'' involves examples of the world's worst TV show, and Creator/GregProops and Drew Carey take turns to move too close to the camera, "announcing" the TV shows "You're Standing Too Close" and "What's Up My Nose".

** Discussed on the DVD commentary for the story "Robot" - Creator/TerranceDicks remarked that Creator/JonPertwee was very sensitive about his nose and refused to do low-angle shots for this reason, to which Creator/ElisabethSladen complained that she always got nostril shots because she was looking up at horrible things so often.

* In the concert video for Music/PeterGabriel's ''Music/SecretWorldLive'' tour, Peter and his backup band would wear head-mounted fisheye facecams during "Digging in the Dirt". This trope is particularly notable for Peter himself, and even moreso for his bassist, Tony Levin.

* Done in one ''WebComic/SluggyFreelance'' strip where Bun-Bun ends up shoving the camera ''up'' Torg's nose.

* Creator/TessMasazza parodies the famous scene of the trope namer in an episode of her Web Series ''Insopportabilmente Donna''. She records a last message to her parents and friends where she begs forgiveness for “having agreed to this madness”. The “madness” being [[HorribleCampingTrip an outdoor camping trip]].

* A promo for ''WesternAnimation/TheScoobyDooProject'' parodied the famous shot with Shaggy, who mutters "I'm so hungry!"

** A particularly unpleasant one happens at the beginning of Episode 3 of "The Seeds of Doom", where Sarah and the Doctor are lying dazed on the ground following the explosion of the shack. The closeup of the Doctor's face gives us a tour of Tom Baker's nasal cavity, with polystyrene snowflakes visibly clinging to the brightly illuminated nose hairs, slap bang in the centre of the frame.
