* An episode of ''Series/{{CSI}}'' features Catherine Willows waking up half-dressed and disoriented in a cheap motel. She takes a shower--''after'' improvising a SAE kit to run on herself. It wouldn't be admissible in court, but she just wants to know, one way or the other.
* An episode of ''TheDrewCareyShow'' has Drew taking one of these after realizing the woman he just had cybersex with was [[SitcomArchNemesis Mimi]]. He was fully clothed, though.
* ''FlightOfTheConchords'': In the episode "Girlfriends" after having painfully awkward sex with his girlfriend, Bret goes home and sits in the tub under the running shower, fully clothed and silently crying.
* Naomi has one of these in ''Series/{{Skins}}'' while struggling to cope with her relationship with Emily. Effy later has a Bath Of Angst over splitting Katie's head open with a rock.
* Bette of ''TheLWord'' has a Shower of Angst in the episode "Limb from Limb".
* Lampshaded somewhat on ''{{Friends}}'' when Joey gets an acting gig as AlPacino's 'butt double' in a shower scene in a movie, and manages to overact the moment:
-->'''Director:''' And cut. Hey, Butt Guy, what the hell are you doing?
-->'''Joey:''' Well, I'm--I'm showering.
-->'''Director:''' No, that was clenching.
-->'''Joey:''' Oh. Well, the way I see it, the guy's upset here, y'know? I mean, his wife's dead, his brother's missing... I think his butt would be angry here.
-->'''Director:''' I think his butt would like to get this shot before lunch. Once again, rolling... water working... and action... ''(Joey does the scene again)'' ...and cut. What was that?
-->'''Joey:''' I was going for quiet desperation. But if you have to ask...
* Overlaps with Shower Of {{Gayngst}} in ''{{ER}}'': Kerry Weaver, pre- and post-date with Kim Legaspi.
* Played for laughs on ''Series/TheColbertReport'' where a reporter was promoting "Voter Abstinence" (a promise not to vote) and was pretty much doing a sexual abstinence PSA only using "voting" as an UnusualEuphemism. He said that he'd been "tricked" into voting for a candidate that he thought had his best interests in mind, but once he was elected, he abandoned those who'd elected him. He was then shown crying in the shower as if he'd been raped and was trying to get himself clean.
* The first season finale of ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' has the survivors find temporary shelter, complete with hot showers. Most of them enjoy it, but Shane carries a wine bottle in there with him and breaks down sobbing. Of course, he's carrying a lot of angst by this point. Andrea is in a fetal position, since she had recently mercy killed her zombified younger sister.
* In the second episode of ''SpartacusGodsOfTheArena'', [[spoiler:Melitta]] has the ancient Roman slave equivalent, tearfully scrubbing herself with a washcloth and bucket in the wake of [[spoiler: Gannicus]] and her being forced to put on a live sex show.
* Chandler of ''Series/{{Whitechapel}}'' is seen sitting down in the shower, fully clothed and having a serious HeroicBSOD, after [[spoiler: Cazenove]] commits suicide so close to him that his blood and brains splatter onto him.
* In the ''Series/{{Witchblade}}'' pilot, Sarah takes one complete with fetal position after nearly getting killed in a shootout with a hitman. Her inner monologue communicates the angst quite nicely:
-->I don't know why I keep pushing the envelope. Something's gotta change. ''I've'' gotta change.
* On ''{{Glee}}'', Blaine is briefly seen taking one after being forced to confront his rough relationship with his brother. Also a case of pure {{Fanservice}}.
* In the LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek ''No One Would Tell'', Stacy is seen taking a hot steaming shower in order to soothe her aches and bruises she got at the hands of her abusive boyfriend.
* Occurs a good number of times among the inmates in ''Series/{{Oz}}'' and ''PrisonBreak''.
* [[Series/ArrestedDevelopment Tobias Fünke]] has ''three'' of these in one episode after his wife Lindsey gets the first acting part he tries out for. Unfortunately he also missed the call telling him that Lindsay hadn't shown up and he had got the part because he was in the shower at the time.
** He also received a bad review from the school paper for the high school production of ''[[Creator/WilliamShakespeare A Midsummer Night's Dream]]'' he directed. Cut to Tobias weeping in the shower wearing cut-off jean shorts. It isn't [[RunningGag the only time.]]
* ''GeneralHospital'': Liz Webber is shown crying in the shower after Lucky brings her to his house to comfort her post-rape.
* ''GreysAnatomy'': At the conclusion of "As We Know It," the main character and her two co-workers all shower (full-clothed) her off.
* ''Series/ICarly'': Carly takes showers that can be one or two hours long when she is unhappy.
* ''OneLifeToLive'': Marty Saybrooke is shown in the shower crying and reliving her gang-rape.
** A year later, Max Holden has a similar scene, horrified and disgusted with himself for having cheated on his wife.
** Not to mention the fan-favorite [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dF66GVkj58M "Gay Shower of Angst"]] cutting between Rex/Gigi and Brody.
* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': Buffy takes a particularly hard fall on patrol and goes to take a shower to soothe away her aches and pains. This plan goes awry when Spike accosts and tries to rape her.
** Willow after the first time she visits the magic dealer.
** "I Only Have Eyes For You". Angelus is possessed by a ghost and forced to act out a tragic love affair with a similarly-possessed Buffy. He's seen afterwards vigorously scrubbing his body in cold water and complaining about having been violated.
* ''Series/{{Angel}}'': After Faith gets the crap beaten out of her, she showers off to clean up the blood. Then she vents her frustrations on the shower tiles.
* Lana on ''{{Smallville}}'' is shown taking a shower after a hard day at school caused by the MonsterOfTheWeek. [[DistressedDamsel Again]].
** Male version: ShirtlessScene ALERT! Davis does this in season 8.. to show to the audience that he's an indestructible monster or something... (which would possibly make it a DracoInLeatherPants moment but that's a different story)
* ''LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'': Several rape victims are introduced crying in the shower after the ordeal.
* Battle-weary Easy Company men in ''Series/BandOfBrothers'' get showers when they enter Germany; the scene focuses on one of the characters, Donald Malarkey, who has been suffering from severe HeroicFatigue.
* ''XFiles'': Scully finds Mulder huddles in a shower in a sleezy hotel room after he wakes up, disoriented, suffering amnesia and covered in blood.
* Ronnie did this a couple of times a season on ''VeronicaMars''. Especially when she broke up with Logan.
* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'': B'Elanna has one of these in the sonic shower after having to kill an insane alien in "Juggernaut".
* ''TheSarahConnorChronicles'' has one of these involving Sarah herself.
* ''DarkAngel'' has one of these with Max, in the episode "meow", after she has sex with a random guy to sate her literal "cat heat" and afterwards cries in the shower because she wanted it to be Logan. Considering Creator/JessicaAlba is involved, it is surprisingly tastefully done, mostly focused on the shoulders up.
* A male example happens in ''Series/{{Dollhouse}}'', after [[spoiler: Ballard has sex with Mellie/November one last time]].
** Adelle [=DeWitt=] takes one of these in episode 2x09 in an attempt to sober up and regain control.
* ''{{Cracker}}''. DS Penhaligon takes a bath after she's been raped, but makes sure to wrap her hand in plastic first to preserve evidence from when she scratched her attacker.
* Jay Leno played this for laughs in his version of ''TheTonightShow''. Leno mentions something {{Squick}}y in a monologue -- cut to a (mercifully) tight shot of him in the shower frantically scrubbing his chest and saying "[=EwEwEwEwEwEw=]".
* Carrie does this in ''SexAndTheCity'' in the episode when she turns 35 and [[ButtMonkey everything is going wrong]] -- even to the point where she drops her own $60 birthday cake in fresh tar, in front of a couple of fat construction workers screaming at her to move herself out of the way. I'd probably head straight for the shower, too -- to drown myself.
** One of Miranda's guys-of-the-week does this after sex with her, which kinda bums her out. When she attempts to empathise with him, her assumptions about his Catholicism offend him and he storms out. Carrie muses that the dialogue of this fight finds its way into a play he was writing.
* The ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' episode "My Cold Shower" has a recurring gag of showing the characters taking cold showers, although these are moreso caused by sexual frustration and played for laughs. [[spoiler:But JD's last cold shower in the episode's final scene acts as a true Shower of Angst, as he realizes that he still has feelings for Elliot right after she accepted Keith's marriage proposal, with JD realizing "It should have been me." [[AsideGlance and then he looks at the camera]]]]
