* The movie ''Bubble Boy'', which supplies the page image. {{spoiler|It turned out his immune system recovered several years prior and he no longer ''needed'' the bubble - [[My Beloved Smother|it was just a way for his mother to control his life]].}}
* The more obscure and insane ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20101226074033/http://foywonder.com/current_columns/foy_0406.html Crystal Heart]''. How insane? It includes a scene where the main character and Tawny Kitaen have "sex" ''by rubbing on either side of a crystal window''. Nuff said.
* ''[[The Boy in the Plastic Bubble]]'', starring [[John Travolta]] in the title role. A made for TV movie [[Very Loosely Based on a True Story]] (See [[Real Life]]). It became the [[Trope Codifier]] and the inspiration for most of the works who employed the trope.
Line 39:
* This happens in an episode of ''[[Weebl and Bob]]'' where a boy in a bubble (named "Bubble Boy") asks if Weebl's clean and if he can use his toilet. However he refuses to come out for fear of "the germs" (that's why he's in the bubble in the first place) and starts urinating in his bubble, and drowns in his own wee.

* Guardian Angel's [[Barrier Warrior]] powers in ''[[PS238]]'' have effectively made her this. Since nothing even temporarily harmful can reach her, she can't be immunized, and since the barrier keeps all disease away from her, she has never developed an immune system.
