* There's an Australian drag queen named [[https://karenfromfinance.com/bio/ Karen from Finance.]]

** While Mr. Burns and Smithers watch Booberella on the news, Burns says to Smithers, "Do you know Bill from accounting? That's his daughter."

** Booberella is the daughter of Bill, an accountant at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant.

* ''WebAnimation/OverlySarcasticProductions'': In "Journey To the West part VIII", Sun Wukong recruits the Star of Fiery Virtue, the deity of the planet Mars, who turns out to be a minor bureaucrat in the ranks of Heaven, to help fight the One-Horned Rhinoceros King. The Rhinoceros King handily defeats the Star of Fiery Virtue.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' invokes this trope ''deliberately'' -- and then almost immediately subverts it, because Bob from Accounting is [[TheHero Mr Incredible]]. It gets even funnier when you realize that his last name, Parr, sounds similar to the word "par," meaning "ordinary." Therefore, Bob Parr's name is supposed to sound generic, [[NonIndicativeName even though the rest of him... isn't.]]

* A short skit on ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' featured two vampires standing near a blood cooler and talking about someone named Dave.
-->"Big Dave, or little Dave?"\\

* A WebAnimation/YouTubePoop of the "lost series finale" of ''[[WesternAnimation/YoYogi D'oh Yogi!]]'' shows from the opening titles that the series was, "Created by Phil from Accounting".

* In the movie version of ''WesternAnimation/HortonHearsAWho'', Mayor Ned, not believing that Horton's "voice from the drainpipe" is real, asks if the whole thing is a prank by "Burt, from Accounting". We actually see Burt from Accounting later in the film, though.

->''"Nothing good has ever followed the phrase 'Bernard in Accounting'"''

* The ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'' has [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-004-j Stan from accounting]]. He has the ability to generate a field that makes people around him talk in buzzwords.

-->'''[[VideoGame/{{Borderlands}} Claptrap]]''': KillEmAll and let Debbie from Accounting sort them out!

** In the season two episode where the hospital organised a charity poker tournament, Wilson finally won by beating "Berman from accounting".
** House also cracks jokes about 'Debbie from accounting', Wilson's supposed romantic interest. From the same episode with a poker tournament:
--->House: ''"Anything lower, you wouldn't sound so excited. Jacks or higher, your voice sounds like Debbie from accounting is sitting in your lap."''

** One episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Dilbert}}'' featured a {{Jerkass}} co-worker named [[ADickInName Dick]] from Procurement. It's treated like his full name, with it showing up on things like Alice's routing slip for the Secretary's Day card she's passing around.

Whenever a throwaway character in a WorkCom is introduced, he will often be labeled as someone from the "Accounting department", usually to serve as the straight-man for a joke. The character's name will also tend to be common and monosyllabic, such as "Bob", "Bill", "Ted", or "Steve", altogether creating an impression of a [[FlatCharacter staid and two-dimensional]] person.

* ''Anime/{{Aggretsuko}}'': Retsuko's boyfriend in the first season is Resasuke from sales. The relationship doesn't last because he has no personality at all and is oblivious to her emotional needs and she perceives him as way cooler than he really is just because he was polite to her.
