== [[Anime]] & [[Manga]] ==
* Inverted in ''[[The Castle of Cagliostro (Anime)|The Castleof Cagliostro]]'': Lupin tells Clarisse to look down in order to ''calm'' her so she realizes they're hanging several hundred feet in the air from a thin line and screaming and flailing at the strange man holding her is a really bad idea.
* Inverted in a different manner in an episode of ''[[Slayers]]''. The gang is clinging to a rope across a chasm, and Filia tells Gourry to not look ''up''. This is because he's holding on to her legs and she's wearing a dress.
 
== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Back to The Future]] Part III'': Doc to Clara.
* ''[[Dumbo (Disney)|Dumbo]]'': Timothy Mouse to the title character.
* ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]: The Two Towers'' - Frodo to Sam.
** Also done humorously in the third film when Aragorn tells Gimli not to look down because they were walking on skulls.
Line 49:
* ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog]]'': Eggman says it to Shadow when he passes through {{spoiler|a Chao room}}.
* During the sequence on the outside of the Shadow Broker's ship in ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'', Liara mistakenly looks down and then tells herself not to.
* ''[[Portal 2 (Video Game)|Portal 2]]'': It seems that the older parts of the Aperture Science facility are full of fathomless drops, and when Wheatley is carried over one of them by Chell, he says this to her. She [[Heroic Mime|doesn't react]], naturally, but he immediately takes his own [[Schmuck Bait]] and regrets it - ''twice''.
 
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* ''[[The Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|Order of the Stick]]'' #[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0647.html 647]:
{{quote| '''Elan''': Woooooo! Wind Walk is the best cleric spell ever!!!<br />
'''Durkon''': Dinnae look down, dinnae look down, dinnae look down... }}
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Done in an episode of ''[[Animaniacs (Animation)|Animaniacs]]''. Also used in ''[[Wakko's Wish (Film)|Wakkos Wish]]'':
{{quote| '''Yakko''': Now don't look down.<br />
'''Wakko''': Do you get vertigo?<br />
Line 68:
{{smallcaps|Carl}}: It's not that confusing. }}
* ''[[The Magic School Bus]]'': in "Under Construction" (about engineering), Wanda says this to Arnold as he's [[It Makes Sense in Context|slowly crawling across a suspension bridge made of Q-tips, dental floss, and bandages over a bathtub with a baby alligator in it.]] He looks down, alligator snaps jaws shut, and Arnold books it to the other side.
* In ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', after [[Genki Girl|Pinkie Pie's]] antics allowed [[Cowardly Lion|Fluttershy]] to temporarily get over her fear of heights in "Dragonshy", she finally attempts to jump over a mountain chasm only for Twilight Sparkle to say this phrase as words of encouragement. Sure enough, Fluttershy does just that and immediately loses her momentum in fright, causing her to drop like a rock... on top of a narrow gap that she could have just walked over.
* In one episode of ''[[Kim Possible (Animation)|Kim Possible]]'', Ron says this to ''himself'' as he's being chased through a towering collection of machinery in Drakken's lair, and promptly steps on and breaks through a flimsy grillwork, falling into the tube it is covering.
