== Films -- Live-Action ==
* In ''[[Undercover Brother]]''. After Mr. Feather chopped through the title character's Afro during a fight, he had a [[Squeaky Eyes]] moment while blinking and looking smugly at Undercover Brother.
* Emily's eye makes a squeaking sound in [[Tim Burton]]'s ''[[Corpse Bride]]'' -- not—not when she blinks, but when it falls out/gets pushed back in. Rather more justifiable.
 
 
Line 58:
* Also happened in one ''[[Drawn Together]]'' episode (that one with the sit-in). Especially <s>[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]</s> Wooldoor Sockbat.
* XR from ''[[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]]'' makes a vaguely mechanical noise when he blinks; this may be justified by the fact that due to being a robot nearly ''everything'' he does results in a mechanical noise.
* Among its many [[Mickey Mousing]] techniques, ''[[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]]'' makes active use of noisy, often simultaneous blinking to illustrate confusion.
* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', especially Momo.
* Orko from ''[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]]'' sometimes makes very odd noises when he blinks.
* ''[[Dexter's Laboratory|Dexters Laboratory]]'' and ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' both use plinks for eye blinks and violin chords or swishes for eye movements, as part of a whole repertory of stock in-house cartoon sounds. Probably used on lots of other [[Hanna-Barbera]] and [[Cartoon Network]] Productions shows as well.
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' is very similar to the above in this regard.
* Characters in ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' make audible blinking noises at times during [[Beat|Beats]]s. The most common sound is shared with Squidward's footsteps.
* Sid and Sue of ''[[Three Delivery]]'' tend to blink audibly when Tobey says or does something dopey or bizarre.
* Henry and June on ''[[Ka BlamKaBlam!|Ka Blam]]!''. Same with Sniz, Fondue, and the Off-Beats.
* The eponymous mouse of the German ''[[Die Sendung mit der Maus]]'' <ref>[[The Other Wiki]] compares it to ''[[Mister Rogers' Neighborhood]]''</ref> has very audible eyes. (It sounds more like "clap" and is done with castanets.)
* ''[[Horrible Histories]]'' does this in every blink.
