** In ''[[Cowboy Bebop]],'' an earlier work by the same director, one episode has some sort of alien [[Blob Monster]] {{spoiler|[[It Came From the Fridge|that had come to life in the refrigerator]]}} attack all the crew and apparently kills them. Then again, it might not really count as a BLAM since in the next episode the first shot you see is the [[Main Character]] [[Catapult Nightmare|waking up from a nightmare]], though it's still ambiguous as to exactly what the hell happened.

* ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei]]'' ''is'' a [[Gag Series]], but a few instances stand out. The first episode of the second series has its own [[Gag Sub]] with the characters speaking gibberish. There's the time that Harumi [[No Fourth Wall|listens to an episode of ''SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' on the radio]] which can be heard indistinctly in the background, and most of all, the instance where Chiri [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|becomes a giantess]] and fights off an alien invasion.

* The [[Donald Duck]] short "Duck Pimples". Donald listens to scary stuff on the radio, causing his overactive imagination to bring a bunch of shady characters to life. First, he envisions a creepy yet silly salesman who drops a lot of horror novels on Don's sofa. As he starts reading one, more weirdos emerge from the book, such as a gruff police officer who accuses Don of stealing a dame's pearls, accompanied by the lady herself. After some [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]-[[Buffy-Speak|y]] gags, both are about to murder Donald because he hasn't "confessed" yet. Just before they cut his throat in half, ''the author himself'' exits the book and reveals the officer to be guilty. The cop confesses it was indeed him, but he ain't amused, and as he steps back to go back into the book's pages, he "shoots" Donald with thin air; he reacts just as if had been shot for real. Terrified, the dame and the author go back to the novel as well. Donald regains conscience and immediately shakes the book to confirm it all ended, as some offscreen voices tell him it was all imaginary. He's not convinced and the cartoon ends with him trembling in fear, slowly muttering to himself "Yeah...Ima......Gination"... Just in time for [[Or Was It a Dream?|the pearls to appear on his neck before the iris out.]] What the hell, Disney!?

* ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy|Ed, Edd n Eddy]]'': "1 + 1 = Ed", otherwise known as the episode where Ed asks Double-D a bunch of questions, the questions become increasingly philosophical, reality and imagination begin to melt into each other, existential crisis manifests itself into abstract surrealism, and everyone and everything around them becomes horribly deformed and absurd.
