{{examples}}

== Advertising ==

* An early example of one of there can be found in the famous [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MaCXVSwec4 "Yuck Mouth" PSA], in which Yuck Mouth discovers a new cavity in his mouth and the camera zooms in on the rotting, holey tooth.

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* The [[Mouth of Sauron]] in ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Lord of the Rings]]''.

* In ''[[Female Trouble]]'' by [[John Waters]], we get a whole screen full of the diseased-looking penis of the man who is raping [[Divine]]'s character.

 

== Literature ==

 

== Live Action TV ==

* The contents of pretty much any gross stunt on ''[[Fear Factor]]'' will get zoomed in on.

* ''[[Young Blades]]'': Oliver Cromwell's fabled mole in "The Exile" has close-ups complete with dramatic music and gives King Louis some surreal nightmares.

 

== Music Videos ==

* While not exactly disgusting, several of the closeups in [[Nine Inch Nails]]' video for [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqgggIMK7Ic "Into The Void"] are pretty... disturbing, to say the least...

* [[Aphex Twin]]'s "Rubber Johnny" does this.

 

== [[Video Games]] ==

* The cutscenes from [[The Legend of Zelda CDI Games|''The Legend of Zelda'' CDi games.]]

 

* Know what ''[[Cyanide & Happiness]]'' needs? [http://www.explosm.net/comics/746/ Extreme closeups]!

** Know what else? [http://www.explosm.net/comics/1956/ Moar extreme closeups!]

* Sawyer the Pidgeotto is (mildly) shown in this light in [https://web.archive.org/web/20140223192828/http://www.nuzlocke.com/pokemonhardmode.php?p=28 this] strip of the original ''[[Nuzlocke Comics]]'', as Ruby fails to impress the female trainers in the Celedon Gym with him.

 

== Web Original ==

* This is a staple of [[Image Macro]]s, especially of the Rage Comic variety. Several of the more artistically complex ones can get [[Nausea Fuel|truly disgusting]] in this regard.

 

== Western Animation ==

* In ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]]'', Edd is looking at Ed's face through a microscope for clues and is rather disturbed by his uncleanliness.

{{quote|'''Edd:''' Oh, my... Ed, there's this new invention called ''soap''; have you heard of it?!}}

{{quote|'''Dr. Ivo Robotnik:''' Snivley, what color is my heart?...}}

* ''[[The Emperor's New Groove|The Emperors New Groove]]'' has a close-up of Yzma's wrinkly face as she is talking to Kuzco, eventually focusing on a piece of spinach in her teeth. Not particularly gross (this is Disney, after all) but notable in that, unlike most animation examples, it's presented in ''full motion'', rather than as a still image.
