The sappy, synthesized, clarinet-heavy music which used to play under emotional moments in sitcoms.
 
Named for [[Full House|the worst offender]], although ''[[Scrubs]]'' was pretty damn close. They snapped out of it though. Not to be confused with ''[[House (TV series)|House]]''. Or [[House Music]], a [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|type ofmusical musicgenre]] that developed out of disco in the [[The Eighties|mid to late 80's]].

== [[Film]] ==
* During what was probably the funniest section of the third ''[[Shrek]]'' movie, [[Eric Idle]]'s character Merlin puts on some [[Full House Music]] to set the mood for Shrek and Artie's "little heart-to-heart."

== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Parodied in the ''[[Family Guy]]'' episode "Holy Crap" in which Peter has a band on hand to play the [[Full House Music]] at the appropriate moment.
* Also parodied in the ''[[South Park]]'' episode "Criple Fight", when Big Gay Al is at home moping over his firing from the Mountain Scouts. We hear sappy [[Full House]] music in the background, but Big Gay Al soon reveals that it's actually a pianist at his home playing mood appropriate music. He then asks the pianist to play something a little more upbeat.
* In ''[[Doug]]'', the same music would play during every emotional moment.
