== [[Anime]] & [[Manga]] ==
* [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played with]] in an episode of ''[[The Ping Pong Club]]'', where Maeno and Izawa impersonate doctors in order to force everyone at their school to endure a [[Creepy Physical]]. They frighten a teacher by remarking on the size of his nipples, imply that the principal has cancer, examine the entire ninth grade in less than twenty seconds, and get a lot of footage of shirtless girls with their hidden "blackmail camera."
* The virus scanner programs in ''[[OS Tan]]'', portrayed as doctors, revel in this, especially [[Dirty Old Man]] Dr. Norton, who, in most stories, usually gets [[Megaton Punch|beaten up]] by 2K or XP.
* ''[[Ghost in Thethe Shell: Stand Alone Complex]]''. When the Major is getting a new cybernetic body she finds herself the subject of some unsubtle come-ons by a [[Hospital Hottie]] doctor. Despite the Major's [[Les Yay|implied bisexuality]] she's unimpressed, especially when {{spoiler|the doctor turns out to be one of the corrupt cops Section 9 are looking for. Only a last minute intervention by a third party saves her life}}.
 
== [[Comic Books]] ==
Line 23:
* The dental exams in ''[[Little Shop of Horrors]]''.
* A major plot point in ''[[The Hand That Rocks the Cradle]]''.
* ''[[The Debt (Film)|The Debt]]'': An undercover [[Mossad]] agent has to become the patient (claiming to be having some trouble conceiving with her husband) of a Nazi gynecologist known to have performed [[The Mengele|sadistic experiments]] on concentration camp inmates. And then he tells her she needs an injection and gets out the needle… Creepy, indeed.
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* [[Dave Barry]], in the column "Getting Physical", remarks on how physical examinations are almost enjoyable until the doctor pulls out The Glove and horror ensues:
{{quote| Suddenly you notice that the doctor looks vaguely like [[Vincent Price]], and the room lights are flashing, and the music system, which had been playing "Wonderful World," is now playing the theme from ''[[Jaws (Filmfilm)|Jaws]]''. And now the doctor is holding up his hand, which has grown to the size of a mature eggplant and has sprouted eight or nine extra digits, and he's struggling to pull on The Glove, which has developed a life of is own, snarling and writhing like some kind of evil mutant albino squid. And now the doctor is turning to you, [[Glowing Eyes of Doom|his eyes glowing like beer signs]], and he's saying "Turn around [[Evil Laugh|hahahaHAHAHAHA]]" and you're thinking [[Big No|OH NO PLEASE NOOOOOOO]].}}
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* ''[[House (TV series)|House]]''. Every time there's a physical this WILL happen.
* In the ''[[Torchwood (TV)|Torchwood]]'' episode "Cyberwoman", the cybernetics doctor brought in to examine a partially cyberconverted woman runs his hands over her body in a manner that would earn him a board of inquiry if those parts were still entirely flesh. The character revealed to be her boyfriend is notably discomfited.
* One episode of ''[[Scrubs]]'' featured a one-line joke about a doctor who always asks his patients to remove their pants, regardless of their complaint. Another episode focused on Elliot's complete lack of bedside manner, including giving J.D. a physical which he compares to "when my older brother used to beat the crap out of me".
** As another, more minor, character asked, "Do you examine everyone that way, or just people you feel have wronged you somehow?"
* Done in an episode of ''[[Law and& Order (TV)|Law and Order]]'' (and the ''[[Law and Order UK]]'' episode based on it) when a woman is molested during a routine OB/GYN exam. Attempts at filing a complaint prove futile, so she goes back in order to catch him in the act. Unfortunately, [[It Gets Worse|this time he drugs and rapes her.]]
* Subverted in an episode of [[ER]]. When a doctor performs a routine breast exam, he attempts to put the woman (and himself) at ease by joking about it the entire time. Unfortunately, it backfires and makes her think he was getting off on it when he genuinely wasn't. To top it off, when she complains to his boss, she and several of the [[Straw Feminist|other women]] on staff not only automatically assume that he abused the patient, they essentially accuse [[All Men Are Perverts|all male doctors of going to medical school solely to have the chance to ogle and grope women]], all the while [[Double Standard|sanctimoniously insisting that they would never have an improper thought about a male patient.]]
* One episode of [[The Drew Carey Show]] involved the main characters accidentally getting dosed with a drug that made them all incredibly aroused. Drew had to testify in court as a witness in a sexual harassment case, but poor Lewis happened to have his annual physical that day.

== [[Web Comics]] ==
* Used the ''very first week'' in [[Schlock Mercenary (Webcomic)|Schlock Mercenary]]. Of course, since the protagonist is what he is, arguably subverted.
