{{quote|'''Alien 1:''' Couldn't we, at least, abduct their political and religious leaders, instead of just any idiot in a pickup truck?

* The ''[[Kids in The Hall]]'' have a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz7sBTHtcLU sketch about aliens] (quoted and pictured at the top of this page) that [[Hangs a Lampshade]] on this trope. After doing this for over fifty years, one alien argues that they haven't learned anything from probing, except that one out of every ten actually likes it. He wonders if his Great Leader is just some kind of seriously disturbed guy.

* Referenced and [[Playing with a Trope|Played With]] often on ''[[The X-Files]]''. In "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space,'" for instance, it's [[Agent Scully]]'s opinion that a young couple whom [[Agent Mulder|Mulder]] believes were abducted by aliens were only engaging in sexual activity before they're old enough to handle it. Mulder, not seeing how this could discredit the girl's interpretation of events as revealed under hypnosis (which resembles the typical [[Alien Abduction]] story), asks his partner, "So what if they had sex?" to which Scully responds, "So we know it wasn't an alien that probed her."

** They actually made a game out of this where they paused the tape before one female abductee disclosed where in her body the aliens had inserted a probe and encouraged viewers at home to ''guess'' what part of the body it was. The correct answer was {{spoiler|the abductee's nose.}}

* In the seventh episode of Volume One on ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'', when Lyle discovers Claire's [[Healing Factor|ability to heal herself]] after stumbling upon a tape that she and her friend Zach made to demonstrate her ability, this forces Claire and Zach to chase after him to retrieve the tape. A freaked out Lyle questions if they're both actually aliens to which Zach, in full-on [[Sarcasm Mode]], responds, "Yeah, and we're gonna anal probe you."

* Mentioned in [["Weird Al" Yankovic]]'s 2014 parody, "Foil".

 

* The quasi-improv theater group Sound and Fury used this trope in "[[Cyrano De Bergerac|Cyranose]]," while Cyranose is trying to distract De Guiche by pretending to be a lunatic:
