* Franchise/IndianaJones (snakes), [[TropeNamers who coined the trope's name]]. He wasn't always afraid of snakes. As ''Last Crusade'' showed, his fear came from when he fell into a circus train car that was full of them, and they weren't particularly nice snakes either. The [[RunningGag "constantly running into them"]] part is relatively {{justified|Trope}} considering where he works. (amusingly, Creator/HarrisonFord doesn't bother with them at all). ''Film/IndianaJonesAndRheDialPfDestiny'' shows that this extends to snake-like creatures in general, such as eels.
