* In ''The Killer Shrews'' (another ''MST3K'' episode), there is a [[Narm|Narmful]] scene where a scientist, having just been bitten by one of the title monsters, sits down at a typewriter and records the process of his body succumbing to the shrew's poisonous saliva.
** Based upon the real-life incident of herpetologist Karl P. Schmidt (see folder "Real Life", below).
* From ''[[Monty Python and Thethe Holy Grail]]'':

* In ''[[8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|Eight Bit Theater]]'' issue [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2005/03/03/episode-522-the-descent-into-sanity/ 522: The descent into sanity], the Light Warriors end up trapped in an ice cavern: Black Mage keeps a journal over the next five days, documenting the group's growing insanity as they explore the caves and their infestation by [[Eldritch Abomination|horrors from beneath the earth]].

** Later, when they travel to the sunken Sea Shrine in a submarine which is ''really'' their aptly-named airship "The Deathtrap", Black Mage falls into a spoken version. After he tells you of his team's decent into madness, Red Mage tries to tell him it's only been a few hours since they started the journey. Black Mage keeps narrating with something to the effect of "I ignored the gibberish which sprouted from my former teammates misshapen lips". Apparently he really likes doing this. Or he just [[Omnicidal Maniac|wants to see them all dead. As usual.]]
