== [[Anime]] ==
* Vegeta does this in ''[[DragonballDragon Ball]] Z'' when Babidi is taking over his mind and amplifying the lingering evil within him.
* Same goes for Asuka from ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' when she gets [[Mind Rape|Mind Raped]].
* In ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'', Joshua often clutches his head and screams when the power of the horns on his head overwhelms him. (The picture above is just one example of many.)
Line 24:
* Ryouga from ''[[Ranma One Half|Ranma 1/2]]'' does this every chance he gets, whether he's succumbing to despair, embarrassment, or simply [[No Sense of Direction|has gotten lost yet again]]. It even became his "Lose" pose in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom fighting games]].
* In ''[[Saint Seiya]]'', [[Musical Assassin]] Siren Sorento is assaulting God Warrior Siegfried's mind with the melody from his flute. Desperate to ward off the attack, Siegfried first covers his ears, then ruptures his own eardrums... but the sound still reaches directly into his brain, causing him to clutch his head in madness.
* Constantly happening to and around [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity|Tetsuo]] in ''[[Akira (Manga)|Akira]]''. Apparently, [[Power Incontinence|being psychic really, really hurts]]. [[Your Head Asplode|And you know what they say about misery...]]
* [[The Hero|Dan]] from [[Bakugan]] grew fond of this trope during the first part of the fourth season due to constant [[Mind Rape|mind raping]] from the [[Big Bad]].
 
Line 35:
 
== Fan Works ==
* Both Ringo and John in ''[[With Strings Attached (Fanfic)|With Strings Attached]]'' employ this trope.
** Ringo uses it when he uses his mindsight for the first time, and the power nearly makes his brain explode. He also uses it several times in the Hunter's world when he is caught in a sudden psychic scream.
** John also uses it in the Hunter's world on the occasions when the shrieking [[BFS|Blackfire]] is drawn. The last time this happens, his ears start to bleed.
 
== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[The Truman Show (Film)|The Truman Show]]'' when the actors' earpieces emit a grating whistle.
* In ''[[X-Men (Filmfilm)|X2: X-Men United]]'' when Evil Cerebro goes off all the mutants in the world (except for [[Magneto]], because of his helmet) start going like this. "Erik, hurry!"
* Galvatron suffers from this trope in ''[[Transformers: theThe Movie]]'' at Unicron's hands.
* Various Hogwarts students in ''[[Harry Potter|Deathly Hallows Part 2]]'' when {{spoiler|Voldemort speaks in their heads}}.
 
Line 49:
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Star Trek: theThe Original Series]]'' episode "The Way To Eden". Dr. Sevrin uses ultrasonics to stun the Enterprise crew. Watch it on YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4CFxk1zO8M starting at around 5:00].
 
== [[Real Life]] ==
Line 61:
 
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* In ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court (Webcomic)|Gunnerkrigg Court]]'' chapter 19, Zimmy--the girl with static in her head and [[Imaginary Enemies]]--was seen clutching her head just before Bad Things started happening.
* In ''[[El Goonish Shive (Webcomic)|El Goonish Shive]]'', Tedd and Ellen both clutch at their heads after being subject to having their emotions magically amplified by Magus because of the headache that ensues after a successful use of the ability.
 
== [[Web Original]] ==
Line 69:
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003 (Animation)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003]]: Back To The Sewer''--The bad guy strikes a [[Mind Control]] ''gong''.
* ''[[Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends]]''
** In "The Fantastic Frump", Doom unleashes a sonic attack that not only causes the clutching of the head and doubling over, but drives Firestar to her knees.
** In "The X-Men Adventure", a sonic attack causes Sprite to clutch her head and huddle in a fetal position.
* In ''[[Justice League: theThe New Frontier]]'': The [[Martian Manhunter]] does it in response to a telepathic assault.
* Ma-Ti on ''[[Captain Planet and Thethe Planeteers]]'' frequently suffered from this, too.
* In the 1990s Fox animated ''[[X-Men (Animationanimation)|X-Men]]'', young Charles exhibited the head clutch when his powers began kicking in.
* ''[[Invader Zim]]'' had two of these, although both assaults are tangible:
** "NanoZim", in which Zim shrinks himself and attacks Dib's brain to make him forget where he hid a disc containing evidence of Zim's otherworldliness.
