* [http://images.nextnewnetworks.com/839.jpg Bentley: Chairman]{{Dead link}} ad. Nuff said.
* In an ad for Wild Turkey Kentucky Bourbon, a group of guys are contemplating whether the woman at the end of the bar likes one of them, when suddenly she flips them off. Apparently not, right? Turns out, in this bar, the finger means "order that person a Wild Turkey on the rocks." As reflected in the tagline, [[Incredibly Lame Pun|"Give 'em the bird."]]

* [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure|Jolyne Kujo]] can do this [http://www.mangarush.com/files/mangas/jojo39s-bizarre-adventure-stone-ocean/67/6.jpg in several]{{Dead link}} [http://www.mangarush.com/files/mangas/jojo39s-bizarre-adventure-stone-ocean/67/7.jpg different languages.]{{Dead link}}
* Rock does [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RY4lxe2gMqE this] quite memorably in the second episode of ''[[Black Lagoon]]'', flipping off the Extra Order mercs as he pulls his first [[Black Lagoon/Awesome|Crowning Moment of Awesome]] by having the title ship launched off a ramp and the torpedoes launched to wipe out an attack chopper that was after them.

** There's also a chapter title page where half of the cast flips off Cell.
* In ''[[Dai no Daibouken|Dai no Dai Bouken]]'' Flazzard makes this gesture to Marm before his first defeat.
* In ''[[Bleach]]'' {{spoiler|Isshin}} simultaneously flips {{spoiler|Aizen}} the bird and ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20100505205553/http://mangastream.com/read/bleach/398-93/18 knocks him several city blocks back]'' (it's unknown if ''some'' sort of hand gesture was [[Full-Contact Magic|necessary]] or if it was entirely because he felt like it).
** The manga features Grimmjow grinning madly while flipping off [http://www.mangareader.net/94-653-4/bleach/chapter-199.html the reader].
* In chapter 7 of ''[[Sensual Phrase]]'' Sakuya does this to spite {{spoiler|his half brother}} Ralph, even saying "FUCK YOU!"

* From ''[[FoxTrot]]'', Peter's pitching in a baseball game and looking at the catcher's signals:
{{quote|'''Peter:''' Two fingers? Shake him off. Three fingers? Shake him off. Two fingers? Shake him off again. Three fingers? Shake him off again. One finger?... Hey, same to you, pal!}}
* ''[[Pearls Before Swine]]'': Pig tries doing Rat's variation on the peace sign, but Rat doesn't want Pig copying him and limits him to one finger. [http://comics.com/pearls_before_swine/2006-11-26/ Pig chooses the wrong one.]{{Dead link}}
* ''[[Garfield (Comic Strip)|Garfield]]'' did it once, though it is not shown:
{{quote|'''Jon''': Garfield! Get your paw out of the cookie jar! (Jon then looks surprised) Who taught you that gesture?!

== Sports ==
* Cyclist [[wikipedia:Mark Cavendish|Mark Cavendish]] gave us this post-win [https://web.archive.org/web/20121112043832/http://cdn3.media.cyclingnews.futurecdn.net/2010/04/29/2/par3206415_600.jpg British variant].
* A 1972 [[Monday Night Football]] game between the Oakland Raiders and Houston Oilers had a incident in which [[ABC]] cameras caught several Oilers fans leaving (the putrid Oilers were losing badly to then-AFC powerhouse Oakland). One guy that stayed happened to be caught on camera and, [[Medium Awareness|seemingly aware of it]], raised the middle digit. This incident also provided commentator Don Meredith's "[[Crowning Moment of Funny|We're number 1 in the nation]]" quip.
** Similar to this incident, the late newscast for [[San Francisco]] [[ABC]] station KGO following [[Super Bowl]] XIX (won by the hometown 49ers) shows a clip of some Miami Dolphins fans in a hotel to support the defeated Dolphins and one fan on an escalator flips the bird briefly ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TanoA3QTp8Q around the 1:51 mark]).

* [http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2006-09-25 This] ''[[Dominic Deegan]]'' strip, done by Rocky the Elemental. Slightly justified in that he can't speak and communicates through gestures.
** Later, when Stunt badmouths him when he thinks he's not around, Rocky shoves a single arm up through the soil. Guess the gesture.
* Used several times in ''[[Loserz]]'', like [https://web.archive.org/web/20110519173457/http://bukucomics.com/loserz/go/2 here] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20101213184407/http://bukucomics.com/loserz/go/155 here].
* Used twice in ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'', once as Ben Franklin [http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/4p29 commits a] [[Perfectly Cromulent Word|Dukeicide]], and once by the good doctor himself, after he [http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/11p49 surfed a robo-Dracula down from the moon.]
* ''[[User Friendly]]''. "Can you count on your fingers in binary? Then I send you a 'four'." <ref>with finger down for 0 and finger up for 1, four in binary = 00100</ref>
