* Was also used for a Glade Plug-Ins commercial. The painting was animated and reacted to the bad smells in the area before the plug-in was activated.

** [[spoiler:After killing [[DarkActionGirl Nena Trinity]], [[BrokenBird Louise Halevy]] starts laughing in mixed relief and aatisfaction after having finally [[YouKilledMyFather avenged her parents]]... until she begins to call out to her dead parents, asking if she did the right thing. Ultimately, when she doesn't hear from even a spirit, Louise begins to cry openly as she suddenly realizes that VengeanceFeelsEmpty. Then she lets loose with a tear-filled scream of her own and breaks down completely.]]

* Done by Setsuna in episode 23 of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'' when he arrives [[spoiler: too late to save Neil!Lockon]].

* In the first ''Film/HomeAlone'' movie, when Kevin applies aftershave and "feels the burn."

* Vegeta from ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' does this on a handful of occasions. At least two when dealing with masses of sheer stupidity in the forms of Nappa and Goku. However, a more prominent example is when he learns that while on Namek, Gohan took a Dragon Ball that he hidden after destroying a village, after believing he had gather all seven of them. With that, he hits a RageBreakingPoint and pursues them while screaming at the top of his lungs. It was so loud it was heard by everyone on Namek...

* Lelouch lets one out in ''Anime/CodeGeass R2'' after he sees [[spoiler:Shirley die in front of him]].

* From the ''[[Machinima/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers SMG4]]'' episode "Recap/MarioGetsHisPINGASStuckInTheDoor", Mario gets... well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin his pingas stuck in a door]]. His friends try just about everything to free it, including pulling it out of the crack in the doorway. Cue Mario screaming loud enough that a nearby alien spaceship is able to hear it.

* ''Webcomic/GuildedAge'': Syr'Nj pulls this twice, once at the end of the side adventure in the first chapter and again in the guest comic linked as ShipTease on [[YMMV/GuildedAge the YMMV page]].

* In ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'', when Bun-bun finds out his collection of ''Series/{{Baywatch}}'' tapes has been magnetically erased. What's really hilarious/terrifying about this is the implication of what he's going to do to the other main characters once he catches them.
* In ''Webcomic/DubiousCompany'', Walter needs to upgrade his ship with a homing device in order to find Tiren. {{Leeroy|Jenkins}} thinks this is taking too long and decides to help while Walter is sleeping. Walter wakes up to find his CoolShip in ruins. Cut to Tiren asking [[TheDragon Izor]] if he heard that scream.

* ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'' shows us the people's reaction to [[http://xkcd.com/1099/ endless wings]].
* ''Webcomic/GuildedAge'': Syr'Nj is the party's CombatMedic — not through traditional holy/nature powers, but through an array of drug-filled needles and good old-fashioned paramedic training. Her goal is to show humans (and her father) that science and nature can work in harmony.
* ''Webcomic/TheDrawPlay'' parodies the [[http://www.thedrawplay.com/comic/kill-me/ Munch painting]] after the New York Giants trade star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to the Cleveland Browns.[[note]]The comic's author is a Giants fan.[[/note]]

** Vegeta takes this UpToEleven when he realizes Gohan stole one of his Dragon Balls. It can be heard across Namek, by Goku in space, by King Yemma in the afterlife, and [[spoiler: by ''Trunks'' on Earth 20 years in the future, ''in an alternate timeline''.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCOxVaQQrbk It must be heard to be believed.]]

* Irma in * ''{{Film/Il grido}}'' lets out a long one seeing Aldo [[spoiler: fall off the refinery tower.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:Edvard Munch would have loved that.]]

* An [[TheScreamParody explicit parody]] of Creator/EdvardMunch's painting "Art/{{The Scream|EdvardMunch}}"; in particularly well-done instances, the art style will [[ArtShift morph rapidly]] to match Munch's expressionist style for a few seconds.

* [[http://www.openculture.com/2015/04/edvard-munchs-famous-painting-the-scream-animated-to-the-sound-of-pink-floyds-primal-music.html This brilliant mashup animation]] of the painting with "Great Gig In the Sky" by Music/PinkFloyd. Animated by Sebastian Cosor.

* Parodied in ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice''. The Emperor learns a very surprising thing about someone's true identity ([[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext no sense in spoiling it here since it wouldn't even make any sense]]), and goes "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"... which, since he's speaking via a text-to-speech device, gets rendered into sound as a series of individual letter A's, "ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay."

** Gohan's ascension into Super Saiyan 2 comes accompained by one such screams. A screamthat seems to have come from hell itself...

* Harima from ''Manga/SchoolRumble'' turned into ''The Scream'' when Yakumo showed no fear toward the manga editor.

* In ''Anime/BlackRockShooter'', Mato does this when she wakes up in Black Rock Shooter's body... [[spoiler: a few seconds after BRS just impaled Dead Master, who has the same face as Mato's friend Yomi, on a katana.]]
* Happens in the ''Anime/AllPurposeCulturalCatGirlNukuNuku'' OVA. Kyuusaku exploits Akiko's desire to be a good mother to Ryuunosuke by getting her to do all the household chores; the penny finally drops when she realizes her situation is no different to when she was living apart from them, and she pulls the Scream pose.
* In the movie version of ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs'', Fate's scream can be seen echoing across the city when Signum steals her Linker Core.
* In Episode 12 of the anime adaptation of ''Literature/RunWithTheWind'', "The Scream" painting is parodied twice by members. First is when the twins find out the "moist air" they're feeling is actually Prince's vomit (they're being driven in a van and have their heads out the windows), which horrifies them and warrants the pose and screeching. The second time is when the team is looking for Musa and Shindou at night time, and what they think are bears come rushing at them--cue the terrified poses and yelling from every member minus Haiji, as the "bears" (actually Musa and Shindou) zoom past them and crash into the van.

* In "Wiener Dog Art", a collection of ''ComicStrip/TheFarSide'' strips, Gary Larson replaces the man in "The Scream" with a wiener dog who is apparently screaming "[[FunetikAksent Edvard, you vierdo you!]]"

* Used in one of ''Series/{{Coupling}}''`s many point-of-view gags - we see a scene twice, once from Sally's perspective and once from Patrick's. Sally thinks she's seen the eponymous Munch painting on the wall and mutters about how she hates it - when we see it from Patrick's perspective, however, we see that she was very drunk and it is in fact a mirror...

[[folder:Music]]
* Barry Godber's cover art of Music/KingCrimson's ''In The Court Of The Crimson King'' depicts a man wearing an expression similar to the Munch painting.

* When the disco zombie Makkey from ''Videogame/KendoRage 2'' has a panic attack, he generates a ghostly version of "The Scream" over his head. It can harm Makendo, but is easily avoided.

* "The Scream" has been [[http://twolumps.net/d/20050801.html spoofed]] [[http://twolumps.net/d/20060703.html twice]] in ''Webcomic/TwoLumps''.
