In Japan this is referred to as ''akanbe'' (a corruption of ''akai me'', "red eye"), and it's called ''mon oeil'' ("my eye") in France and Quebec.

See also [[Blowing a Raspberry]].

* Princess Mashiro does this to a trio of castle guards in the first episode of ''[[Mai-Otome]]'', as seen in the image above.
* Ranma and Akane give each other the Red Eye fairly frequently in ''[[Ranma ½|Ranma One Half]]''. Ranma gave once the Red Eye to Principal Kunō with his big toe, as his arms were tied up.
* Usagi and Rei's relationship in ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' is largely giving each other red-eye.
* Ryunosuke and Yoshimi give the Red Eye to Arisa and Kyoko at the end of the [[Beach Episode]] of ''[[All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku]]''.
