* Mild example: A couple of times when the father in ''[[Curtis]]'' hurt his back, his scream accompanied a diagonal view of the outside of the apartment building.▼
* In one ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'' strip, Calvin, upon learning that Rosalyn is coming to babysit again, lets out a large "AAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHH!" that takes up the top half-inch of the entire strip, and continues throughout the next strip, prompting his mother to say "For heaven's sake, Calvin, take a breath before you pass out on the floor!"▼
* Happens twice in ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'', both times when girls are seeing evidence of a voyeuristic illegal photography ring in their school.
Line 110 ⟶ 104:
* ''[[Looney Tunes: Back in Action]]'' does this when Bugs, Daffy, and Elmer Fudd chase each other in the Louvre's paintings. Inside Munch's masterpiece, Bugs steps on Elmer's toe, causing him to briefly morph into the "Screamer."
* In ''[[The Dark Knight Saga]]'' this is Falcone's response when Crane sprays the fear toxin in his face. And it's unending too implying that he descended into insanity out of fear.

Line 125 ⟶ 117:
* Reese on ''[[Malcolm in the Middle]]'', when he learns that the girl he was crushing on after reading her diary was [[Squick|actually his mom]].
* Frequently happens in ''[[Sister, Sister]]'' when either Ray or Tia discovers Tamera did something stupid that they are angered at (it's not really a scream as much as them screaming Tamera's name, as it pans out, sometimes even starts in before panning out).

* ''[[Time Splitters]] Future Perfect'' has a version where Sgt. Cortez shouts "Goddamnit" so loud, it can be heard approximately 100 years

* Black Mage from ''[[8-Bit Theater|Eight Bit Theater]]'' hollered an enormous [[Atomic F-Bomb|"FFFFFFFFFFFF-UCK!"]] when he lost his powers as ruler of hell.
* In ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'', when Bun-bun finds out his collection of ''[[Baywatch]]'' tapes has been magnetically erased. What's really hilarious/terrifying about this is the implication of what he's going to do to the other main characters once he catches them.
