* Music/TheyMightBeGiants, starting in 2009 Here Comes Science tour, have had a segment with sock-puppet alter-egos of the Johns dubbed The Avatars of They. They make use of the venue's projector, and exchange banter, usually lamenting their hard lives of living in a suitcase, following by [[SelfDepreciation belittling John and John]], referring to them as their "opening act". Quoth John Linnell, "They present us with an opportunity to let our real feelings out. We've also been using them backstage to work through some issues from our own childhoods. I think we're beginning to see a real breakthrough there. Only the first sentence is true."

* ''[[TreintaYUnMinutos 31 Minutos]]'', a Chilean children's NewsParody program, uses hand-puppets and sock-puppets prominently, and takes this trope to its logical extreme: using ''socks'' without even putting a minimal effort to convert them into sock puppets.

* ''Theatre/LittleShopOfHorrors'': The plant puppets gradually get more complex until the second act where it's more of a giant set piece with a few moving parts rather than a puppet, but for the first two scenes, it's represented by a hand puppet operated by a puppeteer under a table through a hole in the countertop (for Scene I) and the lead wearing a false arm (for Scene II)

**In one nightmare sequence, we see her as TheBlank but with a creepy smile much wider than a human mouth is capable over, while the puppet, sewn onto her arm, gnashes its teeth as drool drips. It was possibly a nod to the fandom jokes surrounding the evil sock puppet of doom from day one.

* Ticket from ''Series/ResshaSentaiTokkyuger'' is one of these. The Conductor swears it's a separate entity, and they often disagree and argue. Right is always trying to snag the puppet so he can prove that the Conductor is just messing with everyone's heads. If it means anything, we've seen the Conductor remove the puppet once, and it shows no signs of life. No one else was around.

(Although actually actually, when the scene was filmed one of the puppets was worn on a hand as usual, to allow a greater range of facial expression.)
