History Main / NoseShove

** Speaking of ''Series/DoctorWho'' actors, here's [=McCoy=]'s successor Creator/PaulMcGann with [[http://31.media.tumblr.com/37f36ee57ea1526a72bfe6970560dd6d/tumblr_muiwd4nLFJ1qj3tqmo1_1280.png the sonic screwdriver up his nose]].

* Sideshow geeks [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Blockhead sometimes hammer a nail into their nose]], with little to no adverse effects because there's a sinus back there the average person doesn't know about. Creator/SylvesterMcCoy used it routinely prior to becoming the [[Series/DoctorWho seventh Doctor]].

* As seen by the quote, in ''VideoGame/QuestForGloryI'' you can die when attempting [[{{Pun}} pick]] your nose if your lockpicking skill is too low.

* [[This kid AU]] of ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' has Blue Pearl putting a green crayon up her nose, much to Pearl's disgust.

Children and those operating on a childlike mental level will often push objects into their own noses and ears, often resulting in a hospital trip. The favoured item seems to be crayons, though anything small enough to enter the openings in question can be used. Alternately, shoving items into other people's facial orifices in anger or for experimental purposes also occurs commonly, and is often used as a child-friendly variation on the AssShove. Also related to NoseNuggets, and OrificeInvasion.

* ''Anime/SpacePatrolLuluco'': In episode 10, when [[spoiler:Luluco]] isn't waking up, Over Justice suggests that Midori try stuffing tissues up their nose.

* Played with in an episode of ''Series/AreYouBeingServed''. Mrs Slocombe is annoyed by Captain Peacock's wagging his finger at her. She complains to Mr Rumbold that "Captain Peacock's waggling finger got right up my nose!" As usual, Mr Rumbold takes things literally and admonishes Captain Peacock not to put his finger in Mrs Slocombe's nose.

* ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell'': Rudy gets Lindesfarne's electronic diary shoved up his nose as punishment when she catches him trying to read it.
-->"Please tell me it's at least one of the new small ones."
-->"It's not."

* Two variations in StrangersInParadise. The first is when Katchoo is harassed by a DirtyCop, and puts him in what another character describes as a "bodacious nose lock", where she has him face-first on the ground, sitting on his back while pulling his nostrils back as hard as she can. The second is when we see David's past, and he deals with a Yakuza wannabe who is insulting him by jamming his fingers, palm-down, into the guy's nostrils and practically lifting him off his feet.

->''"You delicately insert the lockpick into your left nostril. Unfortunately, you push it in too far, [[HaveANiceDeath causing yourself a cerebral hemorrhage]]. Guess you should have been practicing on less difficult locks."''

* The Creator/CheechAndChong comedy sketch "Up His Nose" from the album ''Los Cochinos'' has a father bring his son named Jaime to the doctor because he's been shoving lots of things up his nose -- including ''bullets''. The doctor tries to extract them with a pair of pliers, but ultimately decides on just using a hammer, and the bullets explode, supposedly also [[YourHeadAsplode taking the boy's face with it]]. All the father could do at that point is rejoice and tell the doctor to "keep the change".

** It makes way more sense than probing [[AnalProbing the other end,]] since the nose is a lot closer to the brain than, well, you know...

* In the "Alien Abductions" episode of ''PenAndTellerBullshit'', the two show a silver-painted dildo to an "abductee," who states that the aliens inserted a similar device into her sinus cavity.

** One episode blamed Homer's reduced IQ on his having shoved a crayon up his nose and into his brain. [[FlowersForAlgernonSyndrome Removing it makes him smarter]] but alienates Homer from society, leading him to ask Moe to shove another with a hammer and chisel ("the ol' Crayola oblongata").

* Happens several times in ''{{Garfield}}''. The first time was when Jon had a camera shoved up his nose by Garfield and Odie, the second was when he had a rubber mouse shoved up his nose, and the third was when he got a miniature uniform shoved up his nose. Jon also mentions that in high school, [[AllGuysWantCheerleaders he had a mad crush on the head cheerleader]], which didn't end well: "Ever had a pom-pom shoved up your nose?"

* In ''Film/TotalRecall1990'', Douglas Quaid has to shove the business end of a self-guiding pincer up his nose to extract the ball-shaped bug that has been implanted in it.
