* ''Fanfic/EverydayCrazinessInPontypandy'': In "[[Recap/EverydayCrazinessInPontypandyNoPowerNoProblem No Power, No Problem]]", the power goes out on a cold night, making the house lose indoor heating. The ensuing chill makes Elvis wake himself up with a sneeze.

* Happens to Shu from ''Anime/NowAndThenHereAndThere''.
* Happens to Ash Ketchum after falling into a river in the movie ''Anime/PokemonLucarioAndTheMysteryOfMew''.

* Also happens to Ran of ''Anime/GreenLegendRan''.

* In [[Manga/TheNightmareBeforeChristmasZerosJourney Zero's Journey]], the Creature Under the Stairs does this upon encountering a snowstorm in Christmas Town. As he has flammable breath, the sneeze combined with Igor's lighter [[BreathWeapon clears a path]] for the group to get to Christmas Town proper.

* ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'': one of the idle animations in scenes set in the rain.
* ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion1'': Miss Petunia does this after Luigi turns her shower to cold. Averted in [[VideoGame/LuigisMansionDarkMoon the sequel]] despite it having snow and ice areas, since it was developed by a North American company and has less Japanese tropes than the original.
* In ''VideoGame/ZackAndWiki''. Zack, who wears an open sleeveless coat with no shirt and shorts throughout the game, shivers, sneezes and huddles for warmth whenever he's not doing anything in the IceWorld.

* Happens to Raiden in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty''. When he's sneaking around inside the chilly portion of Arsenal Gear, he can contract a cold and start sneezing, alerting the guards to his presence. A medicine capsule he can find in the locker after getting out of his restraints can counteract this condition.
** Also to Snake himself in the first ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'', if you stay too long out in the snowy parts. This might just be part of the Twin Snakes remake, though.
*** It's not, albeit it's done in a different way. In the original [=PS1=] game, after you break out of the torture chamber, Ocelot's stripped you of all your gear, leaving you shirtless. If you waste too much time before recovering your equipment, Snake can catch a cold and start sneezing all over the place, which can get you caught easily. The medicine to counter this is in one of the cubicles in the big office before the room where you fight Psycho Mantis.

* In ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeon'', your partner sneezes from the cold on the way to Frosty Forest.
* In ''[[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Pokémon Platinum]]'', you run into Maylene outside Snowpoint City, which she has apparently walked to from Veilstone, in bare feet and in her usual outfit. Unsurprisingly, she sneezes, although she tries to brush it off, claiming she isn't cold at all. She's later seen shivering in the Pokemon Center.

* WesternAnimation/ChillyWilly is MADE of this trope.

--->'''Narrator:''' And to the tiger, turning blue, Madeline could only say...\\

* ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion1'': the shower ghost does this after Luigi turns her shower to cold. Averted in [[VideoGame/LuigisMansionDarkMoon the sequel]] despite it having snow and ice areas, since it was developed by a North American company and has less Japanese tropes than the original.

[[folder: Advertising]]

* ''Advertising/NipperAndGramophonesChristmasTales'': Gramophone of all characters sneezes snow into Nipper's face in the [[[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WT6Q3AH3uc second teaser]].

** Also to Snake himself in the first ''VidroGame/MetalGearSolid'', if you stay too long out in the snowy parts. This might just be part of the Twin Snakes remake, though.

* ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'': the shower ghost does this after Luigi turns her shower to cold. Averted in [[VideoGame/LuigisMansionDarkMoon the sequel]] despite it having snow and ice areas, since it was developed by a North American company and has less Japanese tropes than the original.

* Happens to Shu from ''Anime/NowAndThenHereAndThere''.

* Creator/SarahGirl1998's fanfics:
** In "Winter Sniffles", [[WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends Lumpy]] does this several times on his way home from work, on account of [[CatchYourDeathOfCold the snowy weather making him catch a cold]]. This cold, however, is referred to as "the sniffles," as it mainly causes him to sniffle a lot alongside making him sneeze [[OutOfCharacterMoment much more quietly]] than [[SneezeOfDoom you might expect from him]].
** Also happens to Lumpy at the beginning of "Lumpy and [[PokemonGenerationIFamilies Dragonite]]", as he's also [[CatchYourDeathOfCold catching a cold]].

See also CatchYourDeathOfCold, for the durable old wives' tale that going out in the cold makes you ''catch'' a cold.
