Most extreme cases can be [[Non Sequitur Scene]]s.

▲{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[
** The anime features a scene in an early episode where Haré comes home to see Guu and Weda have set up a Disco in the house and are getting down with their bad selves. Guu's even sporting an afro, which Haré realizes is the village elder's lost chest hair. Weda actually greets him with "Welcome to the hippest trip!" à la ''[[Soul Train]]''.
** And then, the second ending credits are Disco-themed.
* ''[[One Piece]]'':
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fh9m9un744w Zombie Night!] Nuff said.
** There's also a character in a later arc whose name is Disco. He dresses accordingly.
* The second ending of ''[[Yakitate!! Japan]]''.
* The first ending of ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]''.
== Fan Works ==
* Thanks to the resemblance of her stance to the iconic image of ''[[Saturday Night Fever]]'', Iku Nagae of ''[[Touhou]]'' is often portrayed doing something Disco-related in [[fanfic]]tions. Ironically, her [[Impossibly Cool Clothes|oarfish-themed clothing]] looks more like a salsa dancer's.
== Films -- Animation ==
Line 36 ⟶ 34:
* ''[[Animalympics]]'' has a musical number set at the "Noah's Ark Disco".
* In ''[[The Lorax (film)|The Lorax]]'', Ted's mom demonstrates why fake trees are better than real trees by showing off her [[Thing-O-Matic|Oak-a-matic]]'s disco setting. Later in the film, she's shown to have a mini mirror ball hanging from the rearview mirror of her car.
== Films -- Live-Action ==
Line 45 ⟶ 42:
* In ''[[Mystery Men]]'', Casanova Frankenstein employs the [[Disco Dan|Disco Boys]] as henchmen, and there is a full Disco Room in his castle.
* Disco is a [[Running Gag]] in ''[[You Don't Mess With the Zohan]]''. This has more to do with Disco surviving outside the States for some time after it "officially died". Naturally, immigrant characters assume that it's still big in the US.
== Live-Action TV ==
* In an episode of ''[[RoboCop]]: The Series'', [[Virtual Ghost]] Diana gets corrupted by a computer virus and turns a bit nuts. As a result, she transforms her [[Hacker Cave]] into a full Disco, complete with blaring music, stroboscopic lights and [[Laser Hallway|real laser fire]]! Once he makes the music stop, Murphy finally comments that he always hated Disco.
* ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?|Whose Line Is It Anyway]]'' had "Disco Boy" and "The Disco Kid" in the "Superhero" games. Greatest Hits and Song Styles did Disco from time to time.
== Music ==
Line 56 ⟶ 51:
* [[Kylie Minogue]] owes her entire career to this. Her career had been fairly run of the mill until the disco-themed album ''Light Years'' was released and her fame skyrocketed, with no signs of ever slowing down for a long time to come.
▲== Pro Wrestling ==
* Brodus Clay debuted as a generic [[The Brute|brute]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72jEUpcvocw He would resurface with an entirely new personality.]
== Video Games ==
Line 75 ⟶ 68:
* ''[[Dungeon Keeper]] 2'' has casinos, and when a creature wins the jackpot, everyone around it starts dancing to "Disco Inferno" by The Tramps.
* [[Dance Battler]] maestre Eddy Gordo in the ''[[Tekken]]'' series started off with an alternate "outfit" that was treated as a (relatively obscure) alternate character, Tiger Jackson. No word yet on whether Capoeira works with a disco beat in real life..
== Web Comics ==
* [http://lowroad75.comicgenesis.com/d/20090723.html This page] of ''Giselle'' by Carlos G. Guess what the Butler does in his spare time.
== Western Animation ==
