Some characters just can't take sun exposure, especially if they have pale skin and/or don't go outside much. They tend to overshoot tanning and go straight to sunburned with very little time in the open. Thus, when faced with things like a BeachEpisode, they'll do everything they can to not participate, and if they do participate, they'll stay in the shade as much as possible or go to amusing extremes to protect themselves from the sun. If they do decide to take their chances with the sun, they usually regret it.

* In ''Literature/WeWalkTheNight'', the older vampires get, the more susceptible they are to sunburns and the more severe the burning gets.

* In ''Literature/AMacabreMythOfAMothMan'', Brett has a skin condition that causes him to easily sunburn, which fuels his [[TheShutIn shut-in]] tendencies. Learning that he can contract melanoma from sunburns only makes things worse.
* In ''Literature/TheColSecTrilogy'', Heleth was raised underground for most of her life, and thus [[EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette has very pale skin]] and sunburns ''very'' easily.

* Vampires in ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' can survive sun exposure but get extreme sunburns, hence why they tend to operate at night.
* In ''Series/FatherTed'', Ted tells a visiting priest that Dougal doesn't take the sun very well when he travels. A series of pictures shows Dougal with a lobster-red complexion in front of the Taj Mahal, the Vatican, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and even the Eiffel Tower.
* Ted from ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' claims this is true of himself in the episode where the cast goes to Hawaii for the janitor's wedding. He's seen applying liberal amounts of sunscreen to his face before going to the beach. He's later seen applying more because the previous amount is wearing off. Then he gets distracted, the sunscreen wears off, and he gets a sunburn in the time it takes to turn around.
