* Mad TV, parodying the Budweiser's "Bud-Bowl" advertising campaign, featured a skit where a beer bottle got injured and yelled out, "I can't feel my label!"

--> '''Frankie Boyle:''' "I can't feel my legs!" "That's because your arms have been blown off."

* ''Series/DoctorWho'', "The Sontaran Stratagem" - The reaction of two UNIT soldiers when General Staal temporarily paralyzes them from the waist down.
* Series/{{Baywatch}}. Mitch says this verbatim after being slammed into rocks during a particularly dangerous rescue attempt.
* A favorite SoapOpera trope, of course. Though sometimes they like to show, rather than tell--when the injured person is asked to move their legs, the camera cuts to the immobile limbs, thus revealing the person's paralysis.
* Naturally, this happened from time to time on ''Series/{{MASH}}'', most notably in a case where they told a wounded soldier it was merely an effect of the medication, so they wouldn't have to tell him he was paralyzed and dying.
* Stevie's response in ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'' after Malcolm, having crashed his wheelchair with him in it, asks him if he's all right. "That's not funny, Stevie."
* In ''Series/TheFlash2014'' Season 2's "Enter Zoom," following a battle with the season's eponymous BigBad, [[spoiler:[[SuperSpeed Barry Allen]], the Flash himself, says this in TheStinger]]. He heals in the next episode.
* Tragically inverted in ''Series/{{OZ}}''. When [[spoiler:the wheelchair bound Augustus Hill is mortally injured]], his FamousLastWords are "I can feel my legs".

[[folder:Newspaper Comics]]
* One ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' strip had Jon screaming this and calling for a medic, but he was just mocking Garfield, who was sitting on his lap at the time.

* In ''Klay World: Pancake Mines'', A Klayman steps on a mine, which blows his legs off. He screams, "I can't... feel... my arms!" The Klayman's head then falls on another mine, setting off a chain reaction of explosions.
* After being paralyzed from being pushed off a cliff [[spoiler:by Vriska]], Tavros of ''{{Webcomic/Homestuck}}'' says the following:

* ''Series/{{Charmed}}'' episode "All Hell Breaks Loose". [[spoiler: Piper has been shot.]]

* {{WebAnimation/Hom|estarRunner}}sar says this in his second appearance.

** Occurs in the season 6 finale. The crew begin searching the badly damaged ''Equinox'' for survivors. Kim and Seven of Nine find one crew member buried under debris. The man mentions that he can't feel his legs, and asks Seven to check and tell him if they're still there. In a subversion, his legs are fine and he is later seen walking under his own power, so they'd probably just gone numb.

* Played for laughs in ''Film/TheSocialNetwork'' when Mark drags Eduardo outside in the freezing cold to talk about his early ideas for Facebook. When Eduardo says the line, [[NoSocialSkills Mark]] obliviously replies "I know, I'm totally psyched about this too."

* In ''{{WET}}'' Simmons yells this after his car has crashed. It makes it impossible for him to flee when Rubi [[EveryCarIsAPinto throws a lighter into the leaked gasoline]].

* An alternative took place in the ''{{Transformers}} Galaxy'' Roleplay. The insane, one-eyed Whirl is taking aim with a bazooka and he... ''squints''. It's not clear whether he's being crazy or joking, but he suddenly shouts out...
--> '''Whirl:''' ''(takes aim)'' "Help! I'm blind!" ''(starts panicking)''
--> '''Over Comm-link:''' "Whirl, that's what ''happens'' when you close your ''only eye''."
--> '''Whirl:''' "Heh, I knew that..." ''(opens his optic again)''

* In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', in a state of shock, [[spoiler:Xavier says this multiple times after being shot in the back. Given the character is usually best known for A. his psychic powers, B. being bald, and C. being confined to a wheelchair, this is more or less a ForegoneConclusion.]] However, that does not make the moment any less of a TearJerker.

* PlayedForLaughs in ''Disney/{{Frozen}}''. After a crash, Olaf the Snowman (whose legs had fallen off) grabs Kristoff's legs and screams that he can't feel them. Kristoff says those are ''his'' legs.

'''The Flea:''' The Flea cannot feel his brain! Oh wait, here it is, [[[[WhoEvenNeedsABrain right next to the Flea]].
