Mood Whiplash/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' was fond of these, although fans eventually picked up that any [[Theme Tune]] switches meant [[Spoiler Opening|the episode could be much darker]].

** On the flip side, if the intro song was in Japanese, that meant the episode would be wacky (featuring Mad Mod, Larry, etc.)

** The dark Season Finales of 1, 2, 3, and 4 featured a very silly (involving the an alternate dimension) episode right before them.

*** In Season One, sandwiched between the first Red X {{spoiler|Actually Robin}} episode and the Apprentice Season Finale was ... Mad Mod trapping the Titans inside his school.

*** In Season Two, sandwiched in between {{spoiler|the episode where Terra betrays the Titans by allowing Slade's minions to attack the tower}} and when Terra {{spoiler|beats the living hell out of the Titans, following Slade's orders}} features Larry, a ridiculous dwarf version of Robin.

*** In Season Four, before the three part season finale featuring {{spoiler|the end of the world through Raven}}, we have Mother Mae Eye, whom is a witch who basically made everything the Titans see an acid trip through pie.

*** Season Five didn't really have any "silly" episodes before their Series Finale.

** Part 2 reveals how Lois came back to Quahog. She was saved by a Merman, which isn't the kind of what you had in mind. Lois lost her memory and worked at a summer camp for fat kids, preventing them from eating each other. She then meets a man named Derek, who was a White Supremacist. At a meeting, Lois' opinion gets her a bottle to the head, restoring her memories. Stewie then holds his own family hostage, [[Tear Jerker|kills Cleveland]], and forces Brian at gun point to do as he says and later on, drive him to the CIA, where a [[Crossover]] with ''[[American Dad]]'' ensues, and then Stewie becomes the tyrannical president of America, in which he makes up absurd laws (i.e. [[And That's Terrible|banning direct-to-video Disney sequels]] and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|throwing apples at Peter]]). Lois can't take it anymore and plans to take down Stewie on her own. As Lois and Stewie took each other on, the fight ends with Peter killing him, but luckily, it was [[All Just a Dream|all just a simulation]].

** Despite how dark the two-parter was, there were some funny stuff between all of the drama, even though most of the funny stuff were cutaway gags.

* ''[[Animaniacs]]''. It could go from a show in which cute cartoon characters run around eating sweets or singing nonsense songs to a show in which cute cartoon characters look for a home or get taken into care in THE SAME EPISODE. And it's AWESOME.

* The theme song for the [[Hanna-Barbera]] ''[[The Godzilla Power Hour]]''. It starts off big and epic, emphasizing how frightful a creature Godzilla is...and then they get to [[The Scrappy|Godzooky]].

* Mood whiplash occasionally happens in ''[[Wakfu]]''. The biggest offender would have to be the 15th episode of season one. We close on "à suivre" (French for "to be continued"), our heroes apparently engulfed in a dragon's fire breath. Then we get the episode's [[Couch Gag]], and a silly little drum ditty the gang plays on a barrel to try to wake Ruel inside.
