Mundane Made Awesome/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

* Most [[Transformers]]' [[Kibbles and Bits]] (the bits of alt-mode that don't have a purpose in robot mode) just hang off their bodies uselessly. Bulkhead of ''[[Transformers Animated]]'', however, can [http://www.tfwiki.info/wiki/Image:Bulkheadchair.jpg transform his kibble into a chair.] This is considered by the fandom to be pretty awesome, especially since one of his toys can actually do this.

* In an episode of ''[[Samurai Jack]]'' after the Scotsman has rescued Jack from a bunch of sirens they have a series of contests to decide who would be the one to row back. The contests culminated in a thumbwrestling match, complete with close-ups on their thumbs and faces all while in slow motion.

** Especially, "''Arthur!'' I'm doing ''laundry!''" which may very well be one of the defining moments for this trope.

* ''[[Danny Phantom]]'', mainly in the episode "Identity Crisis." Super Danny seems to permanently have a breeze around him, even when he's standing still.

* ''[[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!

** From the movie we have a song about how everything, including blinking, breathing and sitting on a chair, is [http://www.youtube.com/all_comments?v=-iSQSnSI-so better with Perry.] Although this becomes a [[Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension/Heartwarming|Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] after the movie is over.

* John Redcorn on ''[[King of the Hill]]'' is frequently introduced with blowing leaves and a signature musical leitmotif in the style of a [[Magical Native American]], but he's usually just going about his mundane business.

''[Cue assembled multitudes of hard-bitten warriors, cheering loudly for the idea of sitting around for a while, and then figuring out what they're going to do later on that afternoon]'' }}

* ''[[The Boondocks]]'' is doing this with ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5Da90PI94w kickball]''. The actual episode does not disappoint, ending with a ''[[Dragon Ball]] Z''-slash-''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''-esque final pitch.

* In ''[[We Are the Strange]]'', a dying mook sees his own blood gushing out before its eyes, then [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?|a single drop of blood stops in mid-air, turns into a pixelated block, laughs at the him, turns back into a regular drop of blood and falls back down.]]

** And before that, [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 E1 The Return of Harmony Part 1|"Eternal chaos comes with chocolate rain, you guys! CHOCOLATE RAIN!"]]

** [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 E4 Luna Eclipsed|"It's time for me to do what I do best - lecture her!"]]

*** This is also a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] (Rarity vowing to make up with her baby sister) and a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] (Rarity admitting she was wrong).
