* In a scene from ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'''s ''Meet the Scout'', the Scout "flexes" his arms and acts very proud of his muscles even though there's literally no bulge whatsoever. He does this in attempts to attract women in several supplementary comics as well (with accompanying {{Unsound Effect}}s like "PAINFUL FLEX".) It... never works, unfortunately for him, even though it sometimes does make him look suddenly a lot more muscular.

->'''Crow:''' So, so what do you think? Am I buff or what? Am I blue twisted cold rolled steel or what?
->'''Mike:''' You're sure you've lifted already, you're not planning to lift at some future date or anything, are you?

* In VideoGame/CrusaderKingsII, the character icon for the "Weak" trait is a flimsy bicep flexing.
