Line 3:
** If you were going to pose for a statue that potentially hundreds of people would see for the next 12 hours, wouldn't you strike the most impressive pose possible? And if you could get a do-over every 24 hours, why not do it better?
** Plus, they have an interest in maintaining their camouflage, and preserving a threatening image.
* According to director Brad Bird, The Incredibles was built to be a combination of "the mundane and the fantastic". It indeed did its job well,.
* Various characters in ''[[Invader Zim]]'' made frequent use of the trope, in conjunction with stylized expressions and loud vocalizations. The very first instance would have to be:
{{quote|'''Professor Membrane''': Quiet, son! I'm making ''(large field of electricity crackles)''... toast!}}
Line 25:
** '''[[Memetic Mutation|"CHOCOLATE?! CHOCOLATE!!!!"]]'''
** The show for many fans.
* ''[[South Park]]'' episode "Good Times With Weapons". The boys playing around with weapons is turned awesome with an [[Art Shift]] and the use of [[ShonenShōnen Demographicmanga]] fighting anime tropes, complete with an upbeat [[Anime Theme Song|makeshift J-pop song]] in the background.
** The episode "D-Yikes!," a parody of ''[[300|Three Hundred]] 300'', features [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67KXHqNNJks Mrs. Garrison making coffee].
*** In that same episode, an unknown lesbian character takes a potato chip... [[Death Note|and '''eats''' it.]]
Line 66:
* In ''[[The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack]]'', a huge monstrous ogre-type tries to defeat Captain K'nuckles in a poker game with, as he puts it: "Pair of... TWOOOOOOOOOOSS!!" (He loses, naturally).
** With a pair of threes no less.
* ''[[Fillmore!]]'' was ''built'' on this trope. Middle school is [[Serious Business]]!
* ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' practically ''runs'' on this trope. For example, the episode "Tip of the Day" ended with a crowd song about ''[[What the Heck Is An Aglet?|aglets]]'' (you know, those plastic things on the ends of a shoelace ([[Justice League (animation)|their true purpose is sinister]])).
** "Raging Bully": After accidentally causing Buford to drop Ice Cream on himself, Phineas is challenged to a duel, and the entire episode has them set up a boxing ring, going through a Rocky-style training montage... all for a thumb war! THE MOST EPIC THUMB WAR EVER, even with an overly excited commentator!
