* ''VideoGame/TraumaCenter'' is normally a [[MedicalGame surgery simulator]]. But in one mission you get to disarm a bomb instead. Conveniently, you get guidance from someone who has ''dated'' someone from the bomb defusal team. The mission was entirely redone for the [[PolishedPort wii port]], but it's still a bomb being defused.

* On ''{{Series/MASH}}'', a bomb lands in the compound but doesn't explode. The doctors are sent to defuse the bomb and are given step by step instructions. After they are told which wire to cut, they carefully cut that wire and look for the next instruction which is [[spoiler: "[[CueCardPause But first]]."

** Played realistically in an episode where an EOD[[note]]Explosive Ordnance Disposal[[/note]] man comes into the hospital as a casualty. He thought that disarming mines would be a safer assignment than front-line combat. He was wrong.
** In another episode, a wounded soldier who has been a constant target of hazing by a couple of his buddies over a supposed lack of "manliness" says he's going to transfer to EOD, and demands to know if either of them is "man enough" to do the same. He's dead serious about it, but Col Potter gets him to change his mind.

* ''Film/GodzillaMinusOne''. Shikishima takes on the well-paid but dangerous work of clearing the thousands of sea mines laid in Japanese waters during the war. Clearing involves two small boats made of wood (to avoid setting off magnetic mines) towing a cable between them to cut the mine's tether so it will float to the surface and be detonated with gunfire. When Godzilla makes an appearance, they are ordered to use some of these cleared mines to try and stop it. Naturally the crew think this is even more suicidal than their usual job.

* ''VisualNovel/{{Policenauts}}'' has a bomb-defusal sequence, first requiring that the bag containing the bomb be isolated by removing all of the knock-off bags in the room. Jonathan's partner Ed offers his bomb-defusal knowledge, but due to his poor eyesight, Jonathan has to follow his orders for how to defuse the bomb. At the very end, a WireDilemma arises which Ed doesn't have an answer to, requiring the player to [[SomedayThisWillComeInHandy remember what another character said he would do in that situation]] [[spoiler:and then do the exact opposite of that]].
