* In ''[[Loom (video game)|Loom]]'', even the other characters in the game are curious as to what a Weaver's face looks like, despite the rumors that to gaze upon one means death. However, when one character finally looks under Bobbin's hood for himself, the camera cuts away to another location. Screaming is heard in the background, and when the camera returns, Bobbin is re-hooded and the other character is simply gone. The expert mode of the game reveals the character's fate, but hides Bobbin's actual face behind glowing light. Interestingly, Bobbin's dialogue in the original game implies that the answer as to what lies beneath his hood may be "[[Nothing Is Scarier]]." The re-released version removed this line.

* ''[[Sanitarium]]'' prominently features a number of references to Aztec culture, repeatedly shows a flashback of a "Eureka!" moment involving the discovery of a cure to a disease, the researcher deriding himself for not seeing this simple solution that had been staring him right in the face the whole time, and a number of other flashbacks showing said researcher performing archaeological and field studies in Aztec ruins. While you ''do'' get to see the photograph that seems to spark the insight, which is just a picture of the researcher standing in the jungle, the nature of the insight is never communicated to the audience.

* ''[[Disgaea Hour of Darkness]]'' episode 5 starts off with a photo being mailed to Laharl as part of a blackmail. Apparently, it shows Laharl in an embarrassing situation (take Flonne and Etna's words for it) and Laharl is ''mortified'' at the possibility of the photo being spread all over the Netherworld. We never know exactly what was in the picture.

* One of the many ''[[Tumblr]]'' blogs for ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', [http://junebug-answers.tumblr.com Junebug Answers], had everyone asking what Junebug's cutie mark is, since it didn't appear in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 E10 Secret of My Excess|the show]], being obscured by her saddlebags. She decides to reveal it, only to have Spike jump in front of the camera and block our view of her flank.

* [[That Guy With The Glasses]] music reviewer [[Todd in the Shadows]] has [[The Gimmick]] of [[The Faceless|never revealing his face]] by doing his reviews in silhouette and wearing a mask for appearances elsewhere. When [[The Nostalgia Chick]]'s Makeover Fairy tries to improve his image, she lifts up his mask, [[Take Our Word for It|screams in terror]], and replaces it. All shot from behind Todd, of course.
