- These Virgin Mobile ads. God, the crazy eyes...
- Something that makes it hilariously worse to Supernatural fans, the same actress played the demon Lillith in one episode. She isn't just a creepy stalker, she's a demonic creepy stalker.
- What's worse than your computer turning Yandere on you? The anthropomorphic personification of your computer being the Overly Attached Girlfriend.
Manhwa
- Yuri in Faeries' Landing cuts up Ryang's (the object of her obsession) face for breaking up with her, and she can and will do anything it takes to keep any other girls away from Ryang.
- Jae-min in Orange Marmalade follows Ma-ri around a lot at the start and when she accuses him of stalking her he says he's happy when he's watching her. Eventually their relationship becomes more mutual and he stops following her around. Later, when Si-Hoo is introduced, he begins stalking and harassing Jae-Min.
- Sali Tayi from Threads of Time is this way for Atan Hadas. He actually notices when her hairpin (which she gave to Moon-bin as a present of love) is missing, and manages to put two-and-two together remarkably fast (quickly deciding that the best way to resolve everything is to Murder the Hypotenuse). To put it in his words: "I've always been watching you..."
Music
- The Barenaked Ladies give us "Straw Hat and Old Dirty Hank", based on the Real Life stalking of singer Anne Murray (and referencing a number of her songs in the process).
Pinball
- Played with in WHO dunnit (1995): Bruno keeps a locker full of Trixie's pictures and news clippings, suggesting that he's stalking her out of love. However, the truth is that he's actually her father, Tex, who came back from the dead and is out to protect her.
Podcasts
- The first case on the Sick Sad World episode "Mysterious and Unsolved Cases" features one of these. When said stalker's target is kidnapped and murdered, he takes up calling her mother and saying "I've got her" or "I killed her". Dev and Jasmine speculate he wasn't the killer. Instead, he kept calling because he wanted the target of his obsession found and to continue having power related to her by harassing her mom.
Visual Novels
- Gilgamesh in Fate/stay night really likes Saber.
- Camus O. Laphroaig, Milfeulle's Evil Counterpart, from Galaxy Angel. Interestingly, he comes in two different flavors depending on the medium: annoying in the visual novel and creepy in the manga.
- Shion of Higurashi: When They Cry has an obsessive crush on Satoshi, Satoko's older brother, to the point where she switched places with her twin sister, Mion, to be near him. Depending on the arc, she sometimes has a Big Sister Instinct towards Satoko as a result.
- Played for laughs in Lux-Pain (sorta). Just how does Hibiki manage to call Atsuki if 1. Atsuki never gave him his cell number and 2. Ryo doesn't have a cell phone.
