== Film ==
* Done dramatically by [[The Lord of the Rings|Gandalf]] whenever the Ring speaks in [[The Movie]].
* The [[Watchmen (film)|film version]] of ''Watchmen'' does this with Rorschach, though sparingly.
* Sir Ruber of the movie ''[[Quest for Camelot]],'' one of the characters with a permanent tic, starts out with a slight Twitchy Eye that gets worse and worse throughout the film, until his whole face is practically quivering.
Line 49:
* ''[[The First Law]]'': Glokta's ruined eye (along with his face, sometimes) tends to begin twitching/blinking uncontrollably when he's nervous, lying, or any other time it's inconvenient to look like he's not utterly composed. He Lampshades it in his thoughts, calling it "treacherous jelly."
* In the novelization of [[Resident Evil|Resident Evil 0]], it's mentioned that Birkin's paranoia has caused him to develop a facial tic. Though, it's a slight subversion because it's actually on the corner of his mouth rather than his eye.
* In ''[[Harry Potter and Thethe Chamber of Secrets (novel)|Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]]'', Lockhart's Valentine's Day antics ''really'' irritate McGonagall.
 
 
== Live -Action TV ==
* ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' featured Jack, a genetically-engineered super-genius who was unstable and borderline paranoid, in two episodes. He was very twitchy.
* Data's [[Evil Twin]] Lore in ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' had a facial tic when first discovered and activated.
Line 93:
== Western Animation ==
* Any character in ''[[Invader Zim]]'' will get twitchy whenever they start feeling crazy, but particularly Gaz and the so-happy-it's-freaky experiment, Nick.
* ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and& Mandy]]'' uses this a lot. Mostly with Billy's mom and her [[Broken Smile]].
* Mr DeMartino from ''[[Daria]]''
* Brock Samson of ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'' has a very twitchy eye that manifests when he enters one of his [[Unstoppable Rage Unstoppable|Rages]]. This happens especially when killing people who have threatened his [[True Companions|Family]]...or {{spoiler|[[Car Fu|run him over with a truck]], while he's returning the favor.}}
