8	You can achieve a similar vocal effect with a modern plastic fan. The old wire-frame ones ''are'' somehow more satisfying, though.

21	* In ''Manga/BoboboboBobobo'', when Bo-bobo is at a job interview to become a [[EvilMinions Hair Hunt Trooper]], one of the three interviewers asks if he has any special skills. Bo-bobo cites opening his mouth in front of a fan, and that he got 2nd place in a ''contest'' for it. When the interviewer asks the chief examiner how that qualifies Bo-bobo to be a Hair Hunter, it turns out the chief got 1st place, and that his other co-worker got 3rd. The interviewer sheepishly admits that he also was also in the contest, and placed 57th.

24	* In ''[[Anime/{{Tamagotchi}} GO-GO Tamagotchi!]]'' episode 8a, Mimitchi brings a simple house fan as her entry to an invention project for robotics class, and everyone else has fun yelling "Ahhhhhhh" into the fan as it's blowing and hearing their voices being distorted by it.
