== [[Live Action Television]] ==

* An episode of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' invokes this when Giles is turned into a demon; Buffy recognises him by looking him in the eyes and noting that no one else could look as annoyed with her. Lampshaded when Buffy suffers a [[Grand Theft Me]] later on.

* ''[[Lie to Me (TV series)|Lie to Me]]'': Dr. Cal Lightman and the rest of the Lightman Group use microexpressions (a minute form of facial movements) and body language to determine whether or not someone is telling the truth. [[Dr. Jerk|Cal]], [[Team Mom|Gillian]], and [[Handsome Lech|Loker]] studied for years to learn it. [[Naive Newcomer|Torres]] is a "natural", one of something like 5% of the population who has the ability to spot deception.

* On ''[[NCIS]]'' Kate claims she could tell if a person was good by looking into their eyes, but was not very good at it as she accidentally helped a bomber blow up the place where she had worked, then let the terrorist who later tries to kill her go because there was good in their eyes.

== [[Video Games]] ==

* In ''[[Fire Emblem]]: Blazing Sword,'' Wallace declares Lyn trustworthy and joins her cause after getting one good look of her eyes.

* In ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'', Snake tells Meryl that she never shot someone from the way her eyes constantly wander off.

* In ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' the characters can distinguish between their friends and their friend's evil counterparts from the [[Mirror Universe]] by looking into their eyes.

'''Nigel''': When I look into Lizzie's eyes, I can tell she's not a jerk. }}

* Subverted in ''[[The Emperor's New Groove|The Emperors New Groove]]''. Pacha refuses to make a deal with Kuzco unless he looks him in the eye and means it. He fails to notice that Kuzco is playing him for a sucker until he's hanging above a chasm.

* In ''[[Rango]]'', Rattlesnake Jake says that Rango won't shoot him because he doesn't have a killer's eyes. {{spoiler|In round two, Jake gets an [[Oh Crap]] moment after Rango has had his act together and is willing to kill.}}

* Subverted in [[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]].

'''Homer''': How dare you look me in the eye and lie like that! }}
