* ''Series/{{Angel}}'': Cordelia manages to distract Angelus while keeping him away by pretending her water bottle contains holy water. It works because Cordelia's BadBadActing is a RunningGag, so he doesn't think she can pull of such a bluff. Turns out Cordelia can lie pretty well when her life is on the line.

* ''Literature/JulianComstock: A Story of 22nd-Century America'' by Creator/RobertCharlesWilson. During Julian's campaign in Labrador, rumor spreads among his soldiers that he has a secret weapon sold to their side by the Chinese. Julian doesn't discourage the rumors as he figures they are good for morale, but when he finds his forces surrounded and cut off from friendly forces, he realises that a BrandishmentBluff is the only card he has to play. Unfortunately it works too well; the Dutch bring up extra forces in preparation for the 'secret weapon' who eventually overwhelm his initially successful attack.

* Subverted in ''Film/JackieBrown''. Ordell Robbie, after a ''lot'' of arguing, convinces a criminal associate to hide in the trunk of his car for a weapons deal. When the trunk is opened, he's to do a DramaticGunCock with a shotgun, which Ordell stresses is unloaded as he's not anticipating violence. What he's actually planning to do is murder his associate, hence the unloaded gun.

* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'' does this in the story "Tails' Taste of Power", where Tails gets SuperIntelligence from eating a special fruit that allows him to pull off incredible feats through AwesomeByAnalysis and build amazing contraptions, but also becomes an InsufferableGenius (to the point of fashioning himself a "#1" medal) and decides to try and take down Robotnik by himself. Unfortunately, the fruit's effects wear off just as he's about to have his confrontation with the doctor, forcing Sonic to rush in and try to save him. With no obvious way of getting himself and Tails out of this trap, Sonic grabs the #1 medal and bluffs to Robotnik that Tails [[ThisBannanaIsArmed made it into a powerful explosive]] and that his plan was to use it to defeat the doctor, even if only by pulling a TakingYouWithMe, and threatens to do just that if he doesn't let them go, trusting the doctor's DirtyCoward nature to do the rest. Robotnik obviously calls the bluff at first, but as Sonic winds up to smash it on the ground while counting down, the doctor panics and lets them go at the last second.
