{{examples}}
 
== Anime and Manga ==
* In ''[[Ergo Proxy (Anime)|Ergo Proxy]]'', [[The Stoic]] detective Re-l keeps her calm throughout the series until a particular episode where ''nothing whatsoever'' happens for the entire episode. This forced idleness, multiplied by her lack of understanding of the [[Ontological Mystery|overall plot]] and her companions' weirdly relaxed attitudes, finally drives her frustration over the edge. She decides to take it all out on the wind, which died at the beginning of the episode, stranding them in the middle of nowhere (since they are traveling on a wind-propelled land "boat"). [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|The wind picks up immediately after she's done yelling.]]
 
== Fan Works ==
* Stated in ''[[Harry Potter and Thethe Methods of Rationality]]'' that, in addition to [[I Need a Freaking Drink|desperately needing something alcoholic]], the cast listing for Minerva McGonagall states that she needs to go off somewhere private and scream for a while.
 
== Film - Live Action ==
* In the film ''[[Bringing Down the House]]'', [[Steve Martin]]'s character listens to a (presumably long) confession from his teenage daughter about all the things in her life. After hearing this, he calmly walks upstairs, takes a pillow, holds it to his face, and screams.
** Then proceeds to take a couple pills, [[Crowning Moment of Funny|then scream into the pillow again.]]
* ''[[High Anxiety]]'': "I'm so close to my [[Menstrual Menace|menstrual cycle]] that I could ''scream!''"

== Web Original ==
* In [[Linkara]]'s review of [[Power Rangers Turbo]], he drops this little gem.
{{quote| "After a filler episode where they get baked into a giant pizza... Excuse me for a moment." *walks away from the mic, lets out a loud scream of torment, then walks back* "The story then continues in ''The Phantom Phenomenon''..." }}
* In the [[Hellfire Commentaries]] playthrough of ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2006]]'', FTA's reaction to the "Who's the Captain?" mission.
{{quote| '''FTA:''' WHAT?! You're fucking joking! Please tell me you're joking on that. Please tell me, tell me he, what, I, just... Excuse me for ten seconds, please... (''walks away from his mic'') WHAT THE FUCK?! GRAAAAAAAAH! (''thud thud thud thud'')<br />
'''NTom:''' All better now?<br />
'''FTA:''' You have no clue how close I am to wanting to kill myself, now. }}
 
Line 47:
== Western Animation ==
* In the last episode of ''[[Undergrads]]'', Brody and Krueger are studying for exam week, when the social and academic pressures become too much for Brody. He opens up a window and starts screaming. Krueger declares it brilliant, and joins in, sparking a chain reaction which eventually causes the entire city to erupt in a massive chorus of screams.
* Fluttershy does this in the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "Green Isn't Your Color". Because she's timid and quiet, her scream humorously came out as more of a long squeal.
* In ''[[The Amazing World of Gumball]]'', the school counselor tries to teach Gumball and Darwin scream therapy. Gumball can only muster up a feeble squeak, while Darwin blows a huge bubble that pops so loud it leaves the other's ears ringing.
