* [[ConversationalTroping Discussed]] in ''Anime/LuckyStar''

* ''Manga/MyMonsterSecret'' has a chapter where [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire Youko]]'s father Genjirou sports one of these after having too much to drink. This is doubly funny because 1) he wasn't even wearing a tie before, and 2) as a full-blooded vampire he's somewhere between two and three times taller than the rest of the cast.

* A 1999 ''This Is Series/SportsCenter'' ad had anchors discussing a test of their [[MilleniumBug Y2K]] emergency procedures. The test goes [[HilarityEnsues less than optimally]] as chaos in the offices break out. The kicker, though, is Charlie Steiner shoving his face into the camera, wearing a necktie on his head and holding a latern while shouting, "Follow me! Follow me to freedom!"

* Tommy Wiseau's movie ''Film/TheRoom''.

* [[{{Trigun}} Vash the Stampede]] does this a couple times in both versions, when he gets down to some serious drinking. We never see the tie otherwise--he seems to only pull it out for this purpose.

* In ''Series/DoctorWho'', the Tenth Doctor dons his necktie as a headband after partying with 18th century French aristocrats. Of course, since it's the Doctor, [[PlayingDrunk it's all part of his plan]] [[ObfuscatingStupidity to make the bad guys underestimate him.]]

* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' has Numbuh 1 teaming up with a former salaryman hunting a serpent-like tie monster whose {{breath|Weapon}} forcibly turns people into [[SharpDressedMan suit-wearing businessmen]] who slave away in corporate management. The man in question, Moose, wears his former necktie as a headband and later goes on to become one of the few adults Numbuh 1 is trusting of/considers to be cool.

A trope often associated with [[{{Salaryman}} salarymen]] and other corporate types whose business clothes come with a necktie. Sometimes they get [[LampshadeWearing overenthusiastic during an after-work party]], or they get involved in SeriousBusiness that justfies dropping the DressCode.
