* Referenced in ''[[Myth BustersMythBusters]]''. While testing the bouncing bullet myth (about a bullet that ricocheted in such a way that it killed the shooter), Adam and Jamie used a cardboard cutout of Jamie to represent the gunman/victim. One of the bullets they fired struck cutout!Jamie, in the words of the narrator, on the finger he "occasionally uses to advise fellow motorists".
* There were several occasions on ''[[Dead Like Me]]'' where characters clearly gave someone else the finger, thanks to the fact that the show was aired on Showtime.
* One episode of ''[[Flight of the Conchords]]'' (possibly called "Racist", since it was the one about the racist shopkeeper) featured the band's American friend teaching them how to "flip the bird".

* The [http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Angry_Marines Angry Marines] (probably NSFW), one of the many ''[[Warhammer 40000|Warhammer 40,000]]'' memes, do this all the time to everything and everyone. Just look at the first image.

* [[Meat Boy|Dr. Fetus]] does this pose in the opening video, on the pause screens, and the Dark World loading screen.
* Nero flips off Dante in ''[[Devil May Cry]] 4'' as {{spoiler|he's being absorbed by a huge, animated stone giant.}}
* ''[[Blood RayneBloodRayne]]'' does this after killing the final boss, after slaughtering Wulf, gives a double bird in the ending, then gives the finger to Severin when he insults her.
* [[Guilty Gear|Sol Badguy]] does this as his taunt.
* In ''[[Gaia Online|zOMG!]]'', the Taunt ring draws aggro from nearby Animated. You flip one bird with three Rage Ranks, and you flip 'em both when you use full Rage. In both cases, the relevant fingers are blurred.
* WWE wrestling games naturally have this as an option for taunts.
* Paulie 'Wheels of Fury' Ryan salutes the [[Player Character]] this way when teams are chosen in ''[[Tony HawksHawk's Under GroundUnderground]] 2''.
* Jack Cayman of ''[[MadWorld]]'' has a variation of this, though he replaces "Middle Finger" with "Chainsaw from his arm".
* In ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' Turner Grey flips off the player when he pushes up his glasses in his normal pose. In Japan though, it's not offensive, though it was overlooked in the American translation.
