When various characters are trapped or held captive (say, during a jail scene) the harmonica may be played, as Background Music if not by an actual character. It's also done in isolation, such as being stranded or lost in the wilderness. Or just camping or boredom, which borderline qualifies as the previous. Sometimes associated with Wild West or Deep South settings. Often Truth in Television, as harmonicas are among the few musical instruments to find their way in from "outside", either smuggled in as contraband or simply allowed in by the guards (as its small size makes it unlikely to be usable as a tool of escape, an Improvised Weapon, or a component of some other illicit device they don't want the prisoners building). And when you have that much empty time, you may as well learn to play it, and learn to play it well. See also Brig Ball Bouncing, another pastime used to illustrate a character trying to fill in empty time while in confinement or prison. |

In The Question Returns, the title character spends a night in a small town jail with a Blind Black Guy who identifies himself as "The River Spirit" mouth-harping away in the next cell over.

The Simpsons: During an episode the kids are sent to school by a prison bus rather than the usual school bus, and look as if they were sent to an actual prison. One of the kids plays the harmonica. Lampshaded in another episode, see the quote above. When Bart gets sent to juvenile hall in "The Wandering Juvie", a harmonica is amongst the personal effects the warden confiscates. He plays a few bars of the traditional incarceration tune before putting it away. In the "Tree House of Horror-V" segment "Nightmare Cafeteria," Bart, Lisa, and Milhouse sneak out of Mrs. Krabapple's class and as they make their way out of the school building they see some kids in cages, waiting to be slaughtered by the teachers, with one of them sadly playing a harmonica. |

Battle Beyond the Stars has a version that doesn't take place in prison, but has the same air of being resigned to one's fate. When the audience is introduced to Cowboy his spacecraft is being blasted by Jackers aiming to wear down his shields so they can incinerate the pilot and make off with his cargo. Cowboy responds by playing his harmonica and laconically calling for help on the radio, which he clearly doesn't think is going to come until The Hero unexpectedly shows up. During the eponymous battle, Cowboy's spaceship is fatally damaged and he plays the harmonica again while Coming in Hot. | |

Jesse from Free Willy plays harmonica. Played with in that as a youth he's obviously not in jail (or if he would be it would be in juvie), but is placed with a foster family that he initially rejects and forced to work at a water park to make up for earlier vandalism. The sounds attract the killer whale he end up befriending. | |

The Twilight Zone (1959): In "Shadow Play", Coley, one of Adam Grant's fellow prisoners, plays a harmonica in his dream about being on Death Row. Grant acknowledges that it is a trope, saying that he got Coley and his harmonica from a bad movie that he saw once. In "Hocus-Pocus and Frisby", Somerset Frisby plays his harmonica after being abducted by aliens. The sound causes them extreme pain and they are forced to release him. |

Les Stroud, star of Survivorman, is actually a professional harmonica player. So a lot of times when he's stranded out in the wilderness and all, he'll just jam with it for a few minutes to cheer himself up. Once produced a particularly amusing situation. Les was out in Alaska or some other very snowy region. Before climbing into bed in his snow shelter(!), he took it out and played it for about 10 seconds before suddenly stopping and saying: In the Cook Islands episode, when he had to disassemble a harmonica to obtain material for one of his survival techniques (building a fishing spear), he called it "the ultimate sacrifice". Only to reveal that he'd also brought a ukulele that time. |

South Park: Played straight in the film version, although the harmonica player in question is Ike the baby. And again in "Whale Whores", with Cartman playing the harmonica in question. "Oh, I'm in Japanese prison, lord, don't belong here, my eyes are round..." In the season three episode "Jakovasaurous" which opens with the boys out camping, and Cartman playing a calm little tune on a harmonica. He then introduces a new song he just wrote; "I Hate You Guys" (which uses the opening chords from Bad to The Bone) |

Mork imitated playing the harmonica with his voice while locked up in several Mork & Mindy episodes. When Mindy gets arrested for refusing to reveal a source Mork brings her, among other things, a harmonica to play while she's locked up. | |

The main character of Pizza Boy in: No Tip, a What A Cartoon! Show short, does this after being sent to jail for assaulting a couple who refused to give him a tip after he made a long and dangerous delivery. When the prison chaplain accidentally presses his Berserk Button by mentioning the word "tip", he swallows the harmonica before having another epic freak out. | |

Played with in PJ Masks: In "The Mountain Prisoner", when PJ Robot is imprisoned by Night Ninja, he can be seen making harmonica music and moving his hands as if he's playing a harmonica, but he doesn't actually hold one. | |

Rowlf does this in The Muppet Movie when he, Fozzie, Kermit, Gonzo, and Miss Piggy are stranded in the desert after their car breaks down.note To be exact, he does it while, and after, Gonzo sings "I'm Going to Go Back There Someday". | |
