Surely the point with these idioms is that this is a word play. The 
baker, hearing "lift up your head", the same words given to the 
cupbearer, is at first encouraged that he will also be restored like 
the cupbearer to whom the same words had been addressed. See v.16a: 
the baker knew how Joseph had encouraged the cupbearer and hoped for 
the same for himself. But then comes the sting: the lifting of his 
head will be literal.

So the similar examples Brent is looking for are well-known word plays 
e.g. Jeremiah 1:11,12; Amos 8:1,2.
