* The 1970s version of ''Film/InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers'' famously ends with this way. The ending is given a shot-for-shot parody in the ''{{Community}}'' episode "[[Recap/CommunityS3E10RegionalHolidayMusic Regional Holiday Music]]".

* The AnimatedCreditsOpening to ''Film/GeoregeOfTheJungle'' end this way.

-- '''Ed''', ''EdEddNEddy''

"Man the helms! Dive, dive!"

* ''SesameStreet'' also loves this trope. One example was in the New Years' special, when Telly runs away screaming after Oscar scares him straight with lies on how bad New Years' is.

* Parodied in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' episode "King Yakko". Before the first commercial break, the villain of the episode does an EvilLaugh and the camera zooms into his mouth. Cue the villain yelling, in a muffled voice, "Get that camera out of my mouth!"

* Hopper's death at the end of ''ABugsLife''.

"Man the Helms! Dive, dive!"

* WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}} did this in a good amount of their episodes.

* Taken literally in one episode of {{Drawn Together}} where half the members (including one dimensional fat joke, Toot Braunstein) win a life time's supply of food. A camera installed in the refrigerator shows Toot partaking of its edibles, getting progressively larger each time she opens the door, until the last shot is of her grabbing and lifting the entire thing in the air and gorging on its contents in a parody of the [[StarWars Sarlacc Pit}} camera and all.

* British vlogger {{Charlie McDonnell}} does this at the end of the 2009 YouTube video "My Mum Makes Me Munch Marshmallows".

* Done with a cheerfully singing [[ZeroWing CATS the cyborg]] in the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qE6emvdmg-M Zero Wing Rhapsody]] Flash (3:05).

A visual effect where a shot is ended by having the camera zoom into a character's wide open mouth, usually while the character in question is screaming or singing. Usually done in animation, if only since it's likely to be a GrossUpCloseUp in live action. Frequently done during songs.

* The scene in ''TheThiefAndTheCobbler'' where King Nod despairs about the magic balls being stolen ends with a closeup of his mouth, then goes into an AstronomicZoom out.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' does this sometimes. For instance, with the exasperated Rarity during the "Art of the Dress" song, or with a screaming pony at the end of a creepy ImaginationSpot in "Hearts and Hooves Day".

* Done literally in an episode of ''EdEddNEddy'', Ed swallows the video camera that Double D and Eddy were using to film their movie.
