* Music/{{Cinderella}}'s video for "Shake Me" [[{{Pun}} shakes up]] the CinderellaPlot by showing the wicked stepsisters gloating to the Cinderella character that they're seeing the band while she has to stay home. After they depart, the Cinderella character's poster of the band comes to life and transports her to their show, [[SheCleansUpNicely where she's wearing an 80s version of a]] LittleBlackDress and has a front row seat. Meanwhile, the stepsisters are stuck waiting outside since the show has sold out and they unsuccessfully try to woo the bouncer before they watch the Cinderella character ride off with the band in their limo.

The whole song is about a typical RealLife club-goer.club-goer (expensive valet parking, long lines, overpriced drinks, dirty bathrooms, too loud to talk, too crowded to dance). Even someone like Wayne Brady ends up being barred from the VIP room despite being recognized.

* The music video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmxUMcqGGTw Whistle While I Work It]]" (feat. Chester See, Creator/{{Tobuscus}}, and [[Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway Wayne Brady]]) has a group of friends try to get into a club past the line using a flyer, despite the fact that they're a group of dudes without any girls with them. The doorman waves them off in annoyance, and they're forced to go to the back of the long line, with Chester See singing that he "[knows] somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody who knows..."

He ends up getting renewed interest in the club by establishing a Wannabe Line and only letting attractive young men is. The club is actually completely empty and the ones let in are models Brian hired.

* In front of the Paris dance club in ''VideoGame/KickBeat''. The canon male hero is turned away at the door after implausibly presenting himself as a "friend of the owner" and resorts to a diversion to get in, quickly resulting in a huge fight in the club. Later, the canonical heroine walks past the same line accompanied by admiring comments and phone camera shots and is immediately beckoned in by the bouncers. Promptly subverted; the bouncers recognized her as "with that guy" and club security is waiting in ambush inside.

* Subverted in an episode of ''MissionHill'': frustrated at waiting in line for hours to get in CoolestClubEver only to be turned away at the door, [[CoolLoser Andy]] has his revenge by setting up a fake club front in an abandoned building across the street and letting no one in at all, except for [[LimitedSocialCircle his friends]], who are all in on it. Pretty soon, the steep exclusivity factor draws a WannabeLine that rivals the real club's, until he fakes a fire gutting the place and ruining him (just before anyone got TOO wise).

Debbie goes on a [[ClusterFBomb wicked]] rant about him not thinking they're "slutty" enough and how pathetic he is. He responds that he hates his job and finds them both immensely attractive, but states that they are still considered too old, and having a pregnant woman (Allison) in the club is preposterous.

* ''TheNanny'': Fran and Valerie usually spend their nights off at one of those lines to see celebrities entering. One day, feeling Maxwell needed to get out more, Fran invited him along. Because Fran and Valerie didn't want to drive away potential boyfriends, they asked him to pretend he didn't know them. It backfired on them when ''he'' was let in.
