* ''[[The Remarkable Journey of Higgins Von Higgings]]''. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvlxDcALQ6g It has to be seen to believed].
* [http://www.sharperfx.com/ Sharper FX]. Websites for churches and Christian organizations have never been so seizure-inducing epic.
* The [[YoutubeYouTube Poop]] fad [[Soundtrack Dissonance|"X does Y while I play unfitting music"]] often invokes this, for example in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V7J5ci4GyY This one], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPO4bz4mAeY this one], and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAddWawlwy8 this one].
** Or '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpVbZE1ODJo this one]'''.
* [[The Nostalgia Critic]] tests just how far this trope can go towards the end of [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130924175232/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/308-90s-sports-montage- this video].
** In the middle of ''The Final Brawl'', with epic battle going on around them, the [[The Angry Video Game Nerd|Nerd]] dramatically bellowing and raising his fist... before placing a ''Geek Fight'' card on a table. The Critic responds in kind, and they argue about the power level...
* At some point, one has to wonder how much more ridiculous video game-to-film adaptations can get. Wonder no more: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHY8NKj3RKs Minesweeper the film is here.]
{{quote|''"You are here because you are the best of the best! You come to me as beginners! When I'm through with you, you'll be experts! You are here! To sweep! MINES!"''}}
Line 34:
* Lampshaded on ''[[The Spoony Experiment]]'' during his ''Phantasmagoria'' review. During one scene when ominous music is playing, he sings (with the music) "Cubicle isn't scary!" Also during very boring scenes the Spoony One will shout "PHANTASMAGORIA! PUZZLE OF THE FLESH!"
* ''[[Inception]]'' music + ''[[Hotel Mario]]'' = [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxCJsLS-fsg What do you mean, it's not Epic?]
* [[The Nostalgia Chick]] has fun with this at the climatic scene of ''[[Pocahontas]]'', telling everyone what to do in order to make it more '''EPIC'''.
* The entire joke behind [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgxBKSi7mgE&feature=player_embedded this video.]
* Boxing match commentary can spice anything up. Even...{{spoiler|1=[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CezNIRYYGY&feature=fvw a slap fight between a pair of cats]}}.
Line 67:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQSNhk5ICTI Double Rainbow!] [[Memetic Mutation|What does it mean?]]
* [http://www.weebls-stuff.com/songs/Stephen+Fry/ Who says Stephen Fry isn't awesome?]
* As ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20100310010807/http://www.cwsargeras.com/2009/03/scourge-chat-log-2.html Scourge Chat Log #2]'' points out, usually awesomeness of a nickname is inversely proportional to awesomeness of a netizen wearing it:
{{quote|[Killzone’jaeden]: Rule of Guild Names: The more awesome the guild name tries to sound, the more the guild sucks.
[Killzone’jaeden]: If I see, like, "Lords Of Chaos And Darkness"... done
Line 80:
{{quote|Think about it. What's more ridiculous than dozens of internet strangers voting on the river-crossing status of a fictional family based on an educational game that was created 30 years ago? Haiku about it.}}
* [[Ask That Guy With The Glasses|Only if served]] *[[Also Sprach Zarathustra]] plays as a sign reading [[Catch Phrase|With Onions]] is slowly raised, to uproarious applause*
* [http://pottersues.livejournal.com/505385.html?thread=48739881 This] [[Live JournalLiveJournal]] comment: "DO YOU ALL HEAR ME?! THE HOUR OF JUSTICE IS COMING FOR ALL [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|BITCHES]], THE HOUR OF TRUTH!!!" in response to someone's fanfic getting a negative review.
* Celebrity gossip blog [http://www.justjared.com Just Jared] writes breathless, awestruck stories about celebrities doing mundane things. Activities such as grocery shopping, taking their kids to school, doctor's visits and going to Subway for lunch are presented as being so much more amazing than normal because reality show contestants and bottom tier celebrities are doing them.
* [[Dot Dot Dot]].
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZkKxVAPMRg This] [[YouTube]] video has a political commentator going to a protest gathering outside a town hall and he tried to play up the (mostly harmless) people there as a dangerous angry mob.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-bWvO3elLA This video] would just be a lecture about how life could have originated, if it weren't set to [[Crowning Music of Awesome|Ode to Joy]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtmbcfb_rdc The sequel] (about the origin of the genetic code) is set to ''[[Ominous Latin Chanting|Carmina Burana]].''
* A stick figure [https://web.archive.org/web/20111118091340/http://l.j-factor.com/misc/anime.gif tries to open a door].
* [[Retro Game Master]], a translation of a Japanese TV show, can get into this pretty often. It's about a guy trying to complete classic NES-era games in single playthroughs. The commentary translation sounds very literal, which in English tends to result in some... interesting emphasis. [[Large Ham|MIGHTY BOMB JACK]], anyone?
* [[Desert Strike]]: Return to the Gulf - [http://youtu.be/c86tJltW9gw Epic Version]. The Very True, Incredibly Epic and Completely Heroic story of how Lieutenant G.W. Bush won the first gulf war. "Take That, Iraqistan!". Megadrive game updated with a Big Damn Score by some of Hollywood's finest.
