Line 21 ⟶ 20:
* In the [[Three Stooges]] short "Oily to Bed, Oily to Rise," the boys somehow all end up in the back seat of a moving car, the driverless condition of which is only noticed as they approach a cliff, and Curly calmly and chirpily remarks, "Hmm...don't look now, but I think we're about to be killed!"
* In ''[[Ice Age]] III: Dawn of the Dinosaurs'', the [[Crazy Awesome]] Buck captures a pterosaur and proceeds to commandeer it like an aircraft, with the possums Crash and Eddie in tow, in order to rescue Sid - which leads right into this trope as all three of them check on Sid. Apparently the pterosaur can't be trusted to ''[[Fridge Logic|fly by itself.]]''
* In ''[[Resident Evil: Afterlife]]'', Alice (the real one) manages to get the drop on Wesker as he taking off in a plane. Wesker stabs her with some kinda antidote that takes away her powers and proceeds to beat her up and gloat. However in his little moment. he seems to have forgotten that there are only two people on said plane: Alice and him...And he was driving. Cue him trying to rush back to the controls and the plane flying directly into a mountain.
* In ''[[Astro Boy]]'' his friends catch him out of the air in a flying car. They all start asking if he's okay. Then he wonders who's driving. Cut to the robot dog at the steering wheel.
* Variation: In ''[[It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World]]'', Mickey Rooney and Buddy Hackett find themselves in a small plane with an unconscious pilot. As Buddy clings to the controls, Mickey gets ground control on the radio. They assess the situation and ask "Who's flying the plane?" Buddy gestures to himself; Mickey looks at him and calls back "Who's flying the plane?? ''Nobody's'' flying the plane!!!"

{{quote|'''Wash''': Oh god, oh god, we're all going to ''die''! ''Who's flying this thing?!'' ..oh, right. That would be me.}}

* [[Trope Namers|The trope namer]] is one of the animated episodes of ''[[Clerks]]'' that involved an anime-inspired sequence with this famous statement by the overenthusiastic narrator: "Who is driving?!...Oh my God! Bear is driving! How can this be?!"
* In the [[The Simpsons (animation)|Treehouse of Horror]] segment "Nightmare at 5 1/2 Feet", Otto is seen with the students at one point. Once Milhouse points this out, he immediately rushes back to the wheel.
Line 53:
* The [[Classic Disney Short]] ''Mickey's Trailer'' (1938) had a scene where Goofy, who was driving, stepped back into the trailer to have lunch with his pals. All sorts of near-misses and almost-crashes occurred.
* ''[[Johnny Bravo]]'' [[Christmas Special]] had Johnny, Little Suzy, Donny Osmond, and a pilot flying on a plane to the North Pole. At one point, the characters begin to break into song including the pilot, at which point Johnny asks "Who's flying the plane?" To which the pilot answers "Duh! I am!", while he is most obviously not. The plane drops out of the sky like a rock.
* Has occurred more than once on ''[[Totally Spies!]]''.
{{quote|'''Sam''': Uh, girls? Since we knocked the pilot unconscious, who is flying this plane now?}}
* ''[[The Spectacular Spider-Man]]'': Sandman is driving an armored truck, Spidey jumps in the cab and the two fight. Sandman asks; "Gee Webhead, if I'm over here... Who's driving?" No one is, and the truck plows right into a gate.
