* In ''Film/IndependenceDay,'' David gets airsick on Air Force One, and an especially bad case is triggered when his father innocently babbles on about how unaffected he is.

* There's a real life phenomena known as Anosmia (AKA scent blindness or variations thereof), where a person may be unaffected by any smell within their vicinity. Yes, including fowl smells.
* Medical personnel build up a resistance pretty quickly. AutopsySnackTime is, after all, TruthInTelevision. A similar rule applies to biologists, particularly those who work with dissections, parasites or decomposition.

* It's TruthInTelevision that people can grow desensitized to disgusting elements due to overexposure. This is especially common among people who either own pets or have poor living conditions, as they are constantly surrounded by bad smells and[=/=]or general filth that they can become oblivious to them.
* Compulsive hoarders, particularly animal hoarders, are often oblivious to how foul-smelling and unsanitary their homes have become.

* In Episode 23 of ''[[Fanfic/AWildBadficAppearedCommentaries A Wild Badfic Appeared! Commentaries]]'''s MST of ''Fanfic/SupperSmashBrosMishonhFromGod'', [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius Ike]], being a mercenary and former general in and veteran of two wars]], very casually reminisces about the many gruesome ways he'd seen people killed, mauled, hacked apart, and mangled by him, his comrades, and his enemies while on the job. ''[[TheSnackIsMoreInteresting While eating popcorn]]'', at that. ItMakesSenseInContext. However, about half the party isn't disturbed by it either, [[spoiler:especially [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Chrom, Robin]], [[VideoGame/EarthBound Ness]], and [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Samus]], the former two also being soldiers and the latter an intergalactic bounty hunter]].

** In ''Film/MagnumForce'', Harry is called to the scene of a murder with his partner. One of the cops there comments on how the inside the victim's car is just filled with all kinds of brain parts (the audience doesn't see this) and generally goes into the most gross bodies he's seen. Harry is unaffected but his partner looks at the body and then turns to go puke.

-->'''Navigator:''' What's the matter Commander? You don't like flying, huh? Aw, this is nothing! You should've been with us five, six months ago! Whoa! You talk about puke! We ran into a hailstorm over the Sea of Japan. Everybody's retching their guts out! The pilot shot his lunch all over the windshield, and I barfed on the radio! Shorted it out completely! And it wasn't that lightweight stuff either, it was that chunky industrial weight puke! (''offers him the candy bar he's been eating'') Hey, you want a bite?

* Subverted in ''Film/{{Fargo}}'' when the cheerful, domestic, heavily pregnant policewoman Marge gags at the scene of a homicide -- and, when the morning sickness passes, continues calmly assessing the crime scene.
