* In a ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' episode, Dexter gets a little girl stalker, who just stares at him all the time with huge eyes. Doubles as CreepyChild due to UncannyValley (as she never seems to blink).

* One episode in ''Series/KamenRiderOOO'' involves a MadBomber at an amusement park, and Eiji finds the last bomb in a restroom with a kid at the sink. He yells at the kid to take cover as he dives at the bomb - and gets it just in time. After taking a few moments to realize he's not blown up and to compose himself; he sees the kid still there looking at him, apologizes for scaring him, and offers him [[BringMyBrownPants clean underwear]].[[note]]Playing off the fact that GoofyPrintBoxers are an IconicItem for Eiji.[[/note]]

* In the original ''Film/IronMan'', when Tony takes the Mark II armor for a test flight, the first person to spot him is a gawking little boy on a ferris wheel who licks the ice cream right off his cone at the sight.

* In the opening minutes of ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog22022'', a truck is barreling towards a group of ice cream truck customers, who all run away except one. The dangerous truck comes to a halt right in front of a kid who stays standing in place, staring. Parodying the sub-trope in which the staring kid is eating an ice cream cone (which usually splatters to the ground in shock), this child's ice cream remains perfectly intact for a few seconds, before the top scoop seems to fly to the right and fall to the ground for no reason.

* In ''Film/SupermanTheMovie'', a teenaged Clark Kent runs along side of a train- and keeps up with it. The only person who seems to notice is one little girl on the train... and her name just happens to be Lois....

* [[OracularUrchin Sara]] from ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemJugdral Fire Emblem: Thracia 776]]'' stares at Leif in the Route B Chapter 16 while hiding in the forest, and Leif has to talk to her to make her join his cause.
