* ''Podcast/TheMagnusArchives'' is fond of this trope. Just to name a few examples:
** In "Skintight", [[spoiler:Sarah]] peels the skin off her injured arm, then staples it back on. [[spoiler: It's later revealed that this isn't Sarah at all, but a MonsterClown masquerading as her [[FlayingAlive using her skin]].]]
** "The Man Upstairs" features an apartment room covered wall-to-ceiling in fresh and rotting meat. And the misshapen pile of flesh that used to be the former occupant, [[NotQuiteDead which reveals itself to still be alive when it blinks at the narrator]].

*** "[[AmbiguouslyHuman Michael]]", who is described as looking like all of its bones are in its hands. [[spoiler: Its successor, Helen, is implied to meet the same fate.]]
** And the others are no slouch either-- Annabelle Cane's head is half smashed in with spiderwebs filling the gaps, Jude Perry is a literal wax person who can remold her body and [[PlayingWithFire supernaturally set things on fire]], and [[spoiler:[[BigBad Jonah Magnus]] is implied to hop between bodies by [[EyeScream replacing their eyes with his own]].]]

* ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale'':
** It's not unheard of for Night Vale residents to grow new eyes (at least one person has eight), or win "prizes" like surgically-applied, working gills.
** The mayor is seen to be melting at one press conference, and is mentioned another time to have more than two arms.
** One woman explodes into a fine white dust during a public poetry reading and then floats down and settles on the heads of the crowd. [[CharacterNarrator Cecil]] at least finds this beautiful and moving rather than repulsive.
** At least two "Community Health Tips" instruct the listener in graphic detail how to 1.) skin yourself alive and 2.) remove, cook, and eat your own heart.
** It's been mentioned at least twice that the hearts of Night Vale citizens are full of straw and insects.
** Once the broadcast announced that following the news is the sound of someone chewing up glass shards.
** The Whispering Forest lures hypnotized people into wanting to stay there and then slowly turns their bodies into a wood-like substance so they become part of the forest.
** There is an outbreak of people's skin becoming covered with 15-inch-long spiraling horns.
** A senior football player grows a second head and his mother has the original head removed because she likes the new one better.
** A woman gives birth to a disembodied grown man's hand. The hand is alive and sentient and the loving parents decide that it's a daughter and name her Megan.
** People influenced by the Well of Night have skin grow over their eyes, and all their hair ''retracts'' under their skin. Cecil comes under the effects of this, and describes it as enriching.
* When [[spoiler: [[BigBad Kepler]]]] from ''Podcast/Wolf359'' pisses off [[spoiler: the Dear Listeners]], they burn his hand off, audibly, all the while he screams in pure agony.

* Fruit Gushers ads from the 90s typically involved folks eating the snack and their heads turned into a random fruits or other objects. Their use of this trope was inevitable.
