* At [[Disney Theme Parks]], the normally [[Tastes Like Diabetes]] "Celebrate a Dream Come True" parade used to have a float dedicated to the Disney Villains, singing about ''their'' dreams coming true.

* Done in a good way in the short film LOVEFIELD, available [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4meeZifCVro&feature=player_embedded here].

* In ''[[Luminosity (Fanfic)|Luminosity]]'', vampires or werewolves apart from their mates grow steadily more depressed, and their mates dying can be cause for a [[Despair Event Horizon]]. Meeting up with a mate creates instant euphoria. Combining the two once took {{spoiler|Jasper}} from half-mindless killer to incredibly happy, intelligent and devoted husband.

* A National Geographic article about women in Afghanistan had photos that went like this: A thirteen year old girl who tried to commit suicide by setting herself on fire; an Afghan wedding where the ladies are wearing fancy Western-style dresses and what appears to be the entire country's supply of makeup; then another teenager who tried to escape an abusive marriage and ''had her ears and nose cut off'' (this is apparently a common thing; another photo on NGS's site echoes the famous "Afghan Girl" photo, only the subject has no nose); then some young girls from the wedding getting prepped at a beauty salon.

* [http://kwee85.deviantart.com/art/Path-to-Rebirth-144025136 This entry] for the Wacom Bring Your Vision To Life: Dreams Contest. On the top left corner, we have a boy's parents mourning in front of a doctor at a hospital; and on the right, we have three little animals greeting that boy at a stairway to a potentially pain-free world.

* ''Suivre la parade'', the second major touring show by comedian Louis-José Houde, takes a pretty dark turn in the second act: it goes from [[Motor Mouth|rapid-fire]] observational humour and crazy anecdotes to Houde recounting the story of his girlfriend's abortion. The jokes in this section are, understandably, fewer and much less "zany."

* Used to great effect in [[Christopher Titus]]'s comedy. Considering that much of his comedy is [[Black Comedy|as black as a panther in a coal mine,]] it's to be expected.

* There's this British driving PSA [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTS2i6U4Hmk called "Crash"]. It starts off looking like a car commercial from the point-of-view of the driver - happy, bright, and peppy. Around half way the driver begins to nearly hit several people but it looks like it'll be played the laughs.. Until the end where he hits a guy and the music stops.

* ''[[Turnabout Storm (Fanfic)|Turnabout Storm]]'' has constant minor examples of these, par the course of [[Ace Attorney|one of the series involved]] in the crossover, swinging constantly between comedic and serious and suspenseful mood. Part 2 in particular has the constant whiplashes culminate into {{spoiler|near [[Tear Jerker]] territory when Phoenix sees himself forced to cast suspicion on [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Fluttershy]] in order to save Rainbow Dash from the gilty veridict by extending the trial one more day, complete with [[What the Hell, Hero?]] and [[My God, What Have I Done?]] moments.}}

* [[Debt (Fanfic)|Debt]] spends twelve and a half chapters as a rather nasty mixure of [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]], [[Nausea Fuel]], and [[Tear Jerker]]. About halfway through the last chapter, [[Crowning Moment of Funny|it becomes kind of hard for the reader to believe that they're still reading a]] [[Dark Fic]].
