* ''LastExile'': Lavie wakes Claus every morning by banging a hammer against a sheet of metal.

* Cook {{Kirby}} does this, in the "time to eat" variation.

* ''CalvinAndHobbes'': Calvin bangs on a pot for two panels. His mom tells him to stop giving her a headache. In the final panel, Calvin is marking his calendar, "And a check mark for Tuesday!"

Compare TrashCanBand, when this is done for music, and PaperBagPopping.

* ''TheSimpsons'': in a FlashBack to when Bart was 2 and Marge was pregnant with Lisa, we see Bart with a pot on his head, banging another pot.

-->''Marge:''' Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey. Could you please be quiet?

* Kellam of ''FireEmblemAwakening'' has trouble getting others to notice him, despite wearing a giant suit of armor (everyone thinks the barracks are haunted because there's an "extra" plate at the table and things "mysteriously" appear and disappear). He resorts to this trope on at least one occasion...and Tharja ''still'' didn't see him standing right in front of her.

* This is done a lot in ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' cartoons. Many times it's in a particular order--shout, then bang pots and pans, then the one-man band.

* The ''AaahhRealMonsters'' episode "Attack of the Blobs" had the three take shifts in taking care of an infant monster. Ickis is banging the trash can lids during his shift.

* In ''AzumangaDaioh'', Osaka says that it's always been a dream of hers to wake someone up by banging on a frying pan with a spoon. She, half-asleep, attempts to do so to Yukari (but ends up leading to the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37mPoKQijj8 Memetic "knife" scene]]).

* {{Garfield}} does this a lot to John.
