* The third episode of ''[[Welcome to The NHK]]'' turns ''googling porn'' into a magnificently epic adventure on the high seas.
** Before that it made Satou ''looking through uncensored hentai game CG sets'' (and [[A Date with Rosie Palms|some other stuff]]) as astounding to the audience as it is to him by punctuating reaching the end with ''giant explosions''. Lampshaded when a note on the screen says this is an imaginary screen.
* Kyoko Mogami, the heroine of ''[[Skip Beat!]]'', is prone to exaggeration and flights of fancy. For a talent demonstration, she opts to ''peel a radish'' with what amounts to ''[[Hot-Blooded|BURNING SPIRIT]]'', complete with [[Kiai|intense roaring]] and [[Open the Iris|dilated eyes]]
* ''[[Digimon Tamers]]'', where nearly every main character has a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSYIwS3NK9c different, epic, method to slide a card through their Digivice], complete with fancy card spinning and flipping, and kung-fu moves. The payoff comes in the form of two sequences which come close to being actually epic, including a split-screen triple slash, and the final one where all four mains slash the same card.
** There is a mega-crossover fanfic that included ''Tamers'' that lampshades this. One character slashes their card slowly and carefully to avoid damaging it, and nothing happens. The device explains to them that the effectiveness of a card depends on how quickly it is slashed. Hearing this, another character does a fancy spin before slashing, and their card is much more effective.

* Might Guy and Rock Lee of ''[[Naruto]]'' ''live'' this trope. No matter how they are viewed by their fellow shinobi or how unnerving their appearances have become over the years, '''''[[Hot-Blooded|NOTHING CAN EXTINGUISH THEIR FLAMES OF YOUTH!!!]]'''''
** After a long and anticipated wait, ''Naruto'' brings you Kakashi Hatake vs Might Guy... at rock-paper-scissors.
* In ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'', Akio is the main source of this, often grabbing things and drawing out a baseball bat in a dramatic way with [[Speed Stripes]], whoosh sound and all.
* There was a ping pong match in [[Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru]] featuring Tatsuno Toshiko and Haribara Harue, with [[The Storyteller|Badass Narration]] and music that belonged in the [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] section. It was one of the most epic moments in the [[Slice of Life]] genre.
* ''[[Nichijou]]'' is full of this trope [[Played for Laughs]]. [http://www.crunchyroll.com/my-ordinary-life/episode-1-motivation-573100 A robot girl that's chasing a cat accidentally bumps into a boy, AND CREATES A ATOMIC EXPLOSION THAT DESTROYS TOKYO!
