* In ''[[Toy Story]] 3'', Chatter Phone was the Lacerated Larry type: he ended up confessing to Lotso and his minions about Woody and the others escaping from Sunnyside from what was implied to be torture.

* The film version of Order of the Phoenix made Cho Chang into a Lacerated Larry. Dumbledore's Army was initially angered at her betrayal, but then it is revealed that the only reason she squealed was because Umbridge fed her a drink laced with Veritaserum, thus literally leaving Cho with no choice but to spit out the existence of Dumbledore's Army.

* In an early Blood Elf starting quest in [[World of Warcraft]], the player is asked to find a book for two apprentices. When the book is drenched in water, the apprentices tell the player to take the fall for them, since the player won't be punished much. Instead, upon reaching their master, you tell him what they told you to do, and he has you [[Baleful Polymorph|hit them with a rod that turns them into animals]].

* A [[World War II]]-era cartoon had a guy bragging about his being entrusted with keeping a secret. Unfortunately, he ended up becoming exceptionally drunk, and told the nearest woman in the tavern about his secret (being on a ship and its coordinates), who also turned out to be a Nazi spy, resulting in his death and the implication that he went to hell for it. In other words, he acted as a unwitting Lacerated Larry on ''himself''. This cartoon can also be seen at the International Spy Museum.
