* ''VideoGame/ANNOMutationem'': Averted. In the epilogue when Ayane resorts to CrocodileTears to make Ann carry her, Ann silently covers her ears waiting for Ayane to stop, then decides to go along with her request and does a BridalCarry.



* This happens twice in ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'': Thanatos does it during one of Palutena’s quotes, causing Pit to wonder aloud whether Thanatos is ObfuscatingStupidity or just dim, and Viridi does it when Pit comments on how the Komaytos look like ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}s'' (because, according to Viridi, [[MediumAwareness the two video game universes have nothing to do with each other)]].
* In ''VideoGame/TheSims2'', if two sims have a bad conversation, one of them might cover his or her ears and go "La La La La!".
* In ''VideoGame/TheSims3'', a sim may do this when refusing an opportunity by phone call.
* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfMonkeyIsland Episode 1: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal'', Guybrush does this when he is talking the Voodoo Lady. To avoid her very long talking, Guybrush plugs his ears and says, "La-la-la-la! Not listening!" This mutes the Voodoo Lady's voice before Guybrush unplugs his ears, just in time to hear the rest of the Voodoo Lady's talking.
* In ''VideoGame/TheCurseOfMonkeyIsland'', if you don't want to hear [=LeChuck=]'s explanation of past events, one of the options is for Guybrush to turn his back to him, cover his ears and shout "Lalala, I can't hear you, lalalala".

* ''Zelda Universe''’s video ''Hades’ Misguidance'' had this in the first episode; as Pit, Viridi and Hades talk about Corrin, Hades is just about to talk about what he learned when studying Corrin (which thus would spoil the plot of the game Corrin came from), but before he can begin, Pit and Viridi do this and during that Pit tells the viewers to play the game and not listen to Hades (due to the strictness of spoilers).
