* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfic ''Sparkle's Law'', Pinkie Pie thinks she's a HardboiledDetective. Her magnifying glass only works one way for some reason ([[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext don't ask]]) and she spends the entire investigation looking through it the wrong way. She even notices that it's making everything looks smaller, but she just thinks someone sabotaged it, and she keeps using it.

When you're looking through a pair of binoculars, or even a telescope, expect a BinocularShot through the character's perspective. However, when a character who is a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} or TheDitz looks through the binoculars, expect to see him looking through the wrong end, which results in a faraway view through that character's perspective. The character will then think that the person or item that he's looking at is far away, until another character turns the binoculars around or until the ditzy character lowers the binoculars or telescope. Generally shows up in {{Comedy}}.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'' episode "The Junkmen Cometh" Jimmy tells Sheen to keep an eye out with some binoculars for the "Moonie Man" (made up by Brobot who just wanted Jimmy to come to the Moon and play with him) and Sheen sees a dark figure he believes is the Moonie Man. Since he is looking into the binoculars backwards, he appears "tiny and very far away" according to Sheen, because he is looking into the wrong end of the binoculars. Jimmy grabs the binoculars and hands them back to Sheen the correct way and they see that the figure (actually Brobot trying to scare them) is right in their faces.
