* [https://web.archive.org/web/20110717184744/http://www.pvponline.com/comics/pvp20100820.png This] ''[[PvP]]'' strip. Scratch, being a cat, naturally.
* Minmax the Invicible Warrior, from ''[[Goblins]]''. [http://www.goblinscomic.com/07312005/ "...OOO! A shiny rock!"] He probably [[Min-Maxing|traded this for a combat bonus]].
* Gertrude in ''[[The KAMics]]'' suffers from this [https://web.archive.org/web/20120711040209/http://www.drunkduck.com/The_KAMics/4785734/ here], [https://web.archive.org/web/20120607082039/http://www.drunkduck.com/The_KAMics/4788381/ here] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20120711040159/http://www.drunkduck.com/The_KAMics/4994559/ ... ooh, cool!]
* ''[[Familiar Ground]]'': [https://web.archive.org/web/20140528110306/http://www.familiar-ground.com/2009/03/12/attention-span/ "ooh, pretty!"]
* ''[[Archipelago]]'': Blitz. To give you an idea, in the second book a man lost in the woods asks him for help. Blitz rather focuses on a shiny bauble he is wearing and asks to show it to his friend. Given permission, he grabs the shiny and gleefully runs back home, unaware that he is ''dragging the man behind him.''

* Similarly, [[The Nostalgia Chick]] gets constantly distracted by puppies, cute jewelery or her team's antics.
* [[YouTube]] personality [[Tobuscus]] is this trope personified in his "Lazy Vlog" series, which are often more of a [[Motor Mouth]]-fueled stream of consciousness than anything planned. Some [[Running Gag|recurring]] distractions approach the level of [[Catch Phrase]]s, such as "Ooh, an airplane!" or "[[Male Gaze|Hot hot hot!]]" when seeing an attractive female. He also has a [[Let's Play]] channel (called TobyGames), in which he can be counted on to constantly lose track of what he's supposed to be doing, leading to amusing (if occasionally frustrating) misadventures.
* Atlus employees suffer this, at least according to [[Zero Punctuation|Yahtzee]]'s [https://web.archive.org/web/20130313180212/http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/3872-Catherine review] of ''[[Catherine]]'':
{{quote|'''Atlus developer:''' ... Wait, I'm confused. What was I fixing again? Oh, look! A puppy!}}
* ''[[Noka]]'': Found has the [[Sarcasm Mode|brilliant idea]] of smashing the furniture down and refashioning all of it into a fort-igloo hybrid. Albeit, he did almost none of the work and spent most of the time searching for his bacon-print underwear to fly as the fort's flag, he still managed to convince Abel and Solo to help him.
