*** In his ''[[Moonwalker]]'' review, he winds up going berzerk, kasplodes his room and......turns into a cat and walks away. Probably an appropriate [[Michael Jackson]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niQJtZGTD8A reference].
*** That cat, aka Deathkitty, returns in the [[Atari Jaguar]] review to fight off the spinning Jaguar cube that comes out of the screen.

* Search Youtube for "Duel of the Fates" (a song full of [[Ominous Latin Chanting|Ominous Sanskrit Chanting]] from ''[[Star Wars]] [[The Phantom Menace|Episode I]]''). Whatever isn't music videos is most likely a variation of this.

* There are many, ''many'' examples in ''[[AMV Hell]]'', but easily the most dramatic is the first two minutes of ''AMV Hell 4''.
* 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!"

* In the [[Let's Play]] of [[The Oregon Trail]], "[[Plague and Treachery On The Oregon Trail]]", when the decision came over what to do once they reached Snake River, Chewbot said he'd count anyone who posted their vote in the form of a haiku as two votes.

* 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.
