* In his last moments on the cross Jesus cries out: "Peter, Peter!". Peter, who was in shame and back behind the crowd of onlookers, starts pushing through and yelling: "I'm comig, Jesus!", thinking Jesus has one last important message for him. The crowd starts hitting him. Jesus cries out again: "Peter, Peter!". Peter pushes even harder. Now the crowd got mad and began punching him and ripping off his clothes. Jesus cries out again: "Peter, Peter!". Peter somehow gets to the first row but Roman guards hit him with their spears and swords. He manages to get to the foot of the cross all bloody and torn: "I'm here, Jesus!". Jesus cries out one more time: "Peter!". "Yes, Jesus?!". "I can see your house from up here!".

* In ''Amazon Slaughter'', Literature/AbleTeam look out the window of their DC-3 while flying over the Amazon and Lyons points out a motorboat on the river. He's told that's actually a barge. "It looks small because the river's about a half mile wide."

* Of course, there's the UsefulNotes/SarahPalin "I can see Russia from my house" inversion. [[BeamMeUpScotty Which was actually said by]] Creator/TinaFey. What Palin really said was that you can see Russia from Alaska, which you can. But it isn't exactly much foreign policy experience, which is what Palin was implying, that as governor (of less than two years) of Alaska, she had to deal with Russia next door; the parts of Alaska and Russia that are next to each other are really remote, and virtually nothing happens on the border except some fishing. Palin might've had a better shot at pushing her experience with the Canadians instead (Canada is a major economic partner for Alaska), but somehow dealing with Canada doesn't "count" as foreign policy.

* In TheMovie of ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'', Billy goes to the underworld and climbs a huge mountain, and says he can see his grandma's house from there. Then it pans over to reveal said house floating in a flaming sea. Billy never understood why she [[FridgeHorror moved there]].

** When Ruby and Yang leave home to attend the prestigious Beacon Academy, Ruby really isn't looking forward to being the youngest student in a strange boarding school, having been pushed two years ahead of her age-group. As the airship they're travelling on approaches Beacon Academy, giving the new student intake their first view of the school, Ruby spots the distant sight of her old school which was very near her home, a small island just off the coast. She concludes, with some comfort, that home isn't as far away from Beacon as she thought. Her older sister points out that Beacon is their home now.
-->'''Ruby:''' Look! You can see Signal from up here! I guess home isn't so far, after all.
-->'''Yang:''' Beacon is our home now.

--->'''Peter:''' Hi, Lois! Do we look like ants down here?

-->'''Ollie:''' EVERYBODY LOOKS LIKE ANTS!

* Subverted in ''Beyblade'' when Max looks out the window of the hotel the Bladebreakers are staying in and claims everyone looks like ants, only for Kenny to reply that they are ants as Max is looking at the floor of the balcony.

* London Tipton invokes this trope on ''[[Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody The Suite Life on Deck]]'' while in space (ItMakesSenseInContext). Paraphrased:

** PsychoForHire Carcer from ''Discworld/NightWatch'' taunts Vimes by saying, "I can see your house from up here." -- i.e., "I know where you (and your family) lives."
** The ''{{Literature/Discworld}}'' version of the giant statue of Ozymandias has the inscription "I can see your house from up here", rather than "LookOnMyWorksYeMightyAndDespair". Vimes notes that it's still an effective invocation of power and a threat, along the lines of "lord of all he surveys" and "I know where you live".
** In ''Discworld/TheLastHero'', during the Silver Horde's climb to the home of the gods, which is seated on the Discworld's tallest mountain...

* ''Series/{{Mythbusters}}'': Said by Grant while on a scissor lift. He immediately follows with, "[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Who's car is that in the driveway?]]"

* PsychoForHire Carcer from ''Discworld/NightWatch'' taunts Vimes by saying, "I can see your house from up here." -- i.e., "I know where you (and your family) lives."

* ''Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory''. Willy Wonka takes Charlie Bucket and Grandpa Joe up in the Wonkavator (flying glass elevator).

** Used in the episode "Margical History Tour" where Homer, as King Henry VIII, shoots Ned Flanders out of a cannon, causing him to yell as he soars through the air, "I can see my houuuuuuuuuuuuse!"

* Appears literally in ''Film/HotShots'' when one of the bad guys tries to escape and is flung into the air via a net. ''On an aircraft carrier.''[[note]] The net isn't the unusual part, as aircraft carriers really have those. It's the fact that he can see his house from the middle of the ocean.[[/note]]
