[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* This happened to Switchblade Sam in the 1993 film adaptation of ''DennisTheMenace'' after Dennis stuffed him up with beans.
* In the ''SexAndTheCity'' movie, while the girls are vacationing in Mexico, Charlotte accidentally drinks some Mexican water while she’s taking a shower. This caused her stomach to gurgle, and she rushed back to the hotel to use the bathroom. However, she couldn’t get in since the room was being cleaned, and as a result, she had an accident.
* This also occurs in ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'', although it's not clear as to who it happened to. All that happens is we hear the growl, and then Sir Didimus responds, "Was that my stomach or your's, Ambrocious?"
* Ian's stomach grumbles in ''Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked''.

[[folder:Literature]]
* This happens quite often in a few of RLStine’s ''{{Goosebumps}}'' books including “The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight” and “Go Eat Worms”.
* Happens throughout the ''Shivers'' title: "Curse of the New Kid"; every time Luke got bullied, his stomach would roil increasingly loud and painfully, and something terrible happened to the person picking on him.
* ''Literature/BlackDaggerBrotherhood'' has a few examples as well--since Ward's vampires need food as well as blood. Phury's is most frequent at first as I recall; being a whacked-out drug addict he frequently forgets to eat.
* In ''Literature/{{Dinoverse}}'', this accompanies the first time the kids-in-dinosaur-bodies feel hunger.

* Only happens very little in ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'' when the purple dinosaur experiences rumblies in the tumblies in "Hoo's In The Forest", "Going on a Bear Hunt", "Circle of Friends", and "Spring Into Fun". As the seasons went on, BJ and Baby Bop got rumbly tummies too.
* Happens to Theo in a rather twisted episode of ''Series/BetweenTheLions'', "Huff and Puff", in which Leona runs off to write a second half of a story and tells her father Theo to stay put until she gets back. As a result of having no lunch yet, his tummy begins to rumble.
* In the ''Series/FraggleRock'' episode, "Fraggle Wars", we hear a stomach gurgle from one of the evil Fraggles, and he claims it to be his lunch digesting.
* Happens to the loveable yet full of questions Horace in the PBS hit tv show "Wimzie's House" about 2 times in the series, once in the episode "I Don't Like Chores!" and another time in "Growing Up Is Hard To Do".
