Line 62:
** Also with the introduction of Liger Shishio, Leo's brother. When their [[Sibling Rivalry]] gets physical, the ''narrator'' actually describes the attacks they use on each other with all the seriousness of Gao Gai Gar's.
* In ''[[Bleach]]'' the [[Rule of Funny|king of this trope]] might be Uryuu who occasionally displays lightning-fast, incredibly accurate... ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qqIst0t96A sewing]'' skills, complete with the same stern concentration he has when fighting or speaking of [[Serious Business|quincy pride]]. It's also applied to him more generally as he'll make his own uniform for battle, solely for the sake of looking cool. He even has a [[Crazy Prepared|back-up cape]] just in case the one he's wearing gets damaged.
** There's nothing dramatic about the phrase "thank you"... until it's spoken while accompanied by a [https://web.archive.org/web/20121104061131/http://manga.animea.net/bleach-chapter-321-page-14.html close-up shot] of Yumichika's focused, fearless, [[Let's Get Dangerous|dangerous]] eye where it becomes a [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]] to a [[Curb Stomp Battle]]. The anime even [[Up to Eleven|cranks this up]] by giving Yumichika [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]] and [[Dramatic Pause|dramatic music pause]] as he says it.
** Aizen proves his truly epic taste in furniture with the ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131105185522/http://sp2.fotolog.com/photo/50/60/65/alandria/1192851322_f.jpg Megacouch]''.
* Any time someone tastes the hero's home-made bread in ''[[Yakitate!! Japan]]'', it's an event which makes the parting of the Red Sea look minuscule in comparison, replete with dramatic music, flashing lights, and vivid hallucinations. (One might wonder if the hero is [[Mushroom Samba|actually slipping psychotropic drugs into his creations]]...)
** In fact, in one episode Kazuma makes a bread composed mostly of cannabis derivatives... and it was so delicious, {{spoiler|the judge who tasted the bread was [[Time Travel|sent back in time]] and saved his own mother from [[Death by Childbirth]].}}
Line 182:
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' gives us one of the most epic [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v29/c261/12.html arm wrestling matches] ever. It ''blasts a hole in the floor''.
** And lately {{spoiler|near the end of the Negi vs Fate final fight}} we get [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v36/c325/6.html One] [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v36/c325/7.html Handshake] [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v36/c325/8.html Death] [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v36/c325/9.html Match].
* ''Rust Blaster'' manages to turn [https://web.archive.org/web/20100727202958/http://www.onemanga.com/Rust_Blaster/1/22/ getting to the cafeteria first] into a combination race/battle for survival, complete with the main character fighting off five guys at once to get the best meal possible.
* Wouldn't debate competitions be so much more interesting if they were as bright and shiny as the red and blue text in ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]''? This is so far more true in the VN than in the anime. In the VN, they'll show bright sword slashes flying through the dark while [[Crowning Music of Awesome|intense music]] like [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsOmgr3q4sA Dread of the Grave] or [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuRRe1moVhY Dreamenddischarger] plays.
** Umineko Chiru has Dlanor and Battler actually having a SWORD FIGHT with their respective truths...and it's pretty epic {{spoiler|especially when Battler decides to whip out the Gold Sword of Truth and completely trump her.}}
Line 216:
* 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]]. [https://web.archive.org/web/20140103160503/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! And a dropped piece of sausage is a world shaking, life or death event.]
** The bulk of the [[Mundane Made Awesome]] tends to go to the schoolgirl trio of Mio, Yuuko, and Mai. Besides the above, scenes featuring the little kid professor, wind up robot girl, and talking cat are generally far more mundane.
* [[Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?]] has an series of epic games of Jenga, Mahjong, Twister and others, all for a [[Serious Business|cup of pudding]].
