== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Bobobo-Bo Bo-bobo]]'', Don Patch and Jelly Jiggler do this in shock after seeing Giga's true form.
Line 23 ⟶ 22:
** When Eddie first lays eyes on Jessica Rabbit, his own eyes look as if they're about to do that.
* The title character in ''[[The Mask (film)|The Mask]]'' does it three times: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oiMPKvxQzs once in his apartment building], once in the Coco Bongo club ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRjUzKf9zuI at about 2:00]), and finally when confronted by a lot of cops with guns [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPLHQCCGnsI at 1:00].
* A strange live-action variant occurs in ''[[Twilight Zone the Movie]]'' when John Lithgow reacts to the monster staring at him through the window of the plane. While it's pre-CGI, his eyes bug out in a completely inhuman way. Just five frames long, and you can see a screencap of the most extreme eye-bugging [https://web.archive.org/web/20100606113801/http://www.cinematical.com/2007/10/17/retro-cinema-twilight-zone-the-movie/ here.]
* Happened in ''[[Drop Dead Fred]]'', when Fred slid under a lady's skirt.
 
Line 52 ⟶ 51:
* As has ''[[El Goonish Shive]]''. [http://egscomics.com/?date=2002-06-06 Eyes aren't meant to pop out that way.]
* In ''[[Eerie Cuties]]'' this happens to [[Creepy Doll|Blair]] almost every time he [http://www.eeriecuties.com/d/20090713.html sees Chloe], the [[Succubus]] schoolgirl.
* In ''[[Ménage à 3]]'', when [[A-Cup Angst|Kiley]] sees Sonya's sexy (and well-endowed) MMS to Gary, [https://web.archive.org/web/20120529103311/http://www.menagea3.net/strips-ma3/sonya_was_sexting her eyes pop in the shape of boobs.]
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
Line 72 ⟶ 71:
* ''[[Futurama]]'' features a version of this with Bender, who is able to telescope his eyeballs, complete with ''whirr'' sound effect. Not used so much to indicate shock, but rather to get a better view of something (usually a shapely fembot). In one occasion, he extends them too far and they fall off.
* Done often in ''[[Rocko's Modern Life]]''; one memorable example involved an eye doctor intentionally provoking this by frightening Rocko and then making him hold the pose while he examined them.
* A version of this happens to [[Re Boot|Enzo]] in the [[Evil Dead]] game in ''[[ReBoot]]'', but it only happens to his right eye. This is used to foreshadow the fact that Enzo {{spoiler|''loses'' that eye three episodes later}}.
* Wylie Burp from ''[[An American Tail]]: Fievel Goes West'' weaponized the Eye Pop. By the end of the movie, Fievel, Tiger, and even Wylie [[More Dakka|take it to the extreme]].
* The titular character of ''[[Courage the Cowardly Dog]]'' would react with this, sometimes with some atypical twist on the classic gag.
