Line 1:
{{trope}}
Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
* The outburst by Captain Joe in ''[[Fugitive Alien]]'' became a [[Memetic Mutation]] on ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]''.
{{quote|'''Ken:''' What did I do to deserve this?
'''Captain Joe:''' (pensive) We don't deserve half the things we get. (laughs maniacally, then throws down his pen angrily) '''''You're stuck here!''''' }}
* The Pilot episode of ''[[Lost]]'' has a good example of this trope. About mid-way through the two-hour series opener, the Losties get the radio from their plane working and hear a transmission in French. After a couple seconds of them cheering that the French are coming to rescue them, Shanon translates the transmission which says in part: "I'm alone, all alone the others are dead." The Mood Whiplash makes a creepy moment far more terrifying than it already would be, and this moment basically sets the tone for the entire series.
** Possibly the most chilling moment in this show's history: in the season one finale, they're on the raft, they fire the flare--and suddenly there's a light! There's a boat! There's triumph music! They're saved! And then: {{spoiler|"Only the thing is, we're gonna have to take the boy." HOLY CRAP.}}
** On a similar note, the ''soundtrack'' for this show. A prime example is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Hre5fkdq-0 "Life & Death"]: the first three minutes are a [[Tear Jerker|tearjerking]] meditation on well, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|life and death]], and the last thirty seconds is you being dragged into hell.
Line 175 ⟶ 177:
* Done rather tastelessly in an episode of [[America's Most Wanted]]. In the re-enactment, a desperate fugitive looking for shelter runs into an unlocked house to find two rednecks. They chase him out with baseball bats while banjo music plays and John Walsh wryly notes "They ''weren't'' in the mood for company." Then the next unlocked house he goes to has an old lady who he brutally murders.
