== Anime & Manga ==
Line 38:
** Don't forget the Boogie Robots!
* ''[[Animalympics (Animation)|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.
 
 
Line 51:
 
== Live-Action TV ==
* In an episode of ''[[RobocopRoboCop (Film)|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? (TV)|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.
 
 
Line 68:
* Disco Kid's whole theme in ''[[Punch Out (Video Game)|Punch Out]]''
* ''[[Rogue Squadron (Video Game)|Rogue Squadron]] III'' opens with the ''[[Star Wars (Franchise)|Star Wars]]'' characters dancing to the Disco remix (yes, there was one) of the [[Fanfare|opening theme]].
* In ''[[Earthworm Jim (Video Game)|Earthworm Jim]] 3-D'', there is a whole stage devoted to a Disco. Which mixes this trope with [[EverythingsEverything's Deader With Zombies]] to form the stage "Boogie Nights of the Living Dead". The stage comes complete with a weapon called the "Funky Gun".
* ''[[Pokémon Colosseum (Video Game)|Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]'' has Miror B., a man with a [[Funny Afro]] colored like a Pokéball. In its predecessor, ''Colosseum'', his music was salsa. Here? Disco.
* ''[[Endless Frontier]]'' has Suzuka-hime's [[Limit Break]]: complete with [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?|Disco ball, orange box,]] [[NoblewomansNoblewoman's Laugh]], and [[More Dakka]] [[Blasphemous Boast|than God]]. In the sequel, gaining an upgrade to the attack adds bright spotlights and changes the single box of oranges to a pile of 3.
* ''[[The Neverhood|Skullmonkeys]]'' includes The 1970's as a collectible pickup scattered around levels. Whenever the player picks up enough of them, they're transported to, you guessed it, The 1970's. Accompanied by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tCFrI8TQgw this music].
* Jimmy T. from the ''[[Wario Ware (Video Game)|Wario Ware]]'' series is a Disco fiend, as is the rest of his family. They all wear multi-colored [[Funny Afro|Funny Afroes]], shades, and bell-bottom pants.
Line 93:
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jP0j8EITTk Disco Miniature Golfing Queen]";
** During the boys' Robot Rodeo, a thick mist messed up Isabella's hair -- causing the episode to end on a hilariously random note: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suy0cjbFTgY Izzy's Got the Frizzies].
* ''[[The EmperorsEmperor's New Groove (Disney)|Kronk's New Groove]]''
* ''[[The Powerpuff Girls (Animation)|The Powerpuff Girls]]'': The episode "Boogie Frights".
* ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents (Animation)|The Fairly Odd Parents]]'': The Crimson Chin has a Seventies Disco version of him.
