* Claude Cat in the ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' short "The Hypochondri-cat" was such a hypochondriac that even [[Induced Hypochondria|mentioning to him that he looked a little green]] would cause him to instantly turn that color. This reaction was played strictly for humor.
* Parodied in ''[[South Park]]''; in "Bloody Mary", upon being told that his alcoholism is a disease, Stan's father shaves his head, confines himself to a wheelchair, and speaks exclusively in a harsh whisper.
* In one episode of ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'', Helga is bit by a monkey and notices some redness in the area. She looks up a book on archaic diseases and becomes convinced that she has contracted a terminal, monkey-borne disease. Other symptoms include sweaty hands (which she develops out of fear of death), irritability (practically her defining character trait), and loss of appetite (impending death tends to make one less apt to enjoy a meal).
