== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Most of the middle of Ep. 4 in ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro Ni]]'' is Beatrice having fun making the story play out as much as a cheesy kids' action anime as possible. [[Eleventh -Hour Superpower]], [[Out-of-Character Moment]], [[Interface Screw]], you name it. {{spoiler|After everyone stops acting it becomes obvious in hindsight.}}
* We have [[All Men Are Perverts|uncontrolled lechery]], [[Would Hit a Girl|fathers beating their daughters]], bipolar childhood friends with murderous grudges, [[Kill It With Fire|a pyromaniac baby]], a mother who wishes her son was never born, wanton property destruction, and alien invasions. This is ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]''. All of the above is ''frikken hilarious''.
* Try [[Ranma Half|an Aquatransexual]] with {{spoiler|a mother who thinks he should be manly or [[Seppuku|face the sword]],}} ''way'' too many Fiancées, [[I Know Kung Faux|rivals who practice]] all kinds of [[Martial Arts and Crafts|ridiculous martial arts]], a [[Dirty Old Man]] [[Fair Weather Mentor]] who will stop at nothing [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|to get him into a bra]], [[Weirdness Magnet|and all sorts of other random stuff happening in his neighborhood.]]
Line 55:
* The infamous Lucy-pulling-the-football-away-from-Charlie-Brown gag in the ''[[Peanuts]]'' series.
* ''[[Ka Blam]]'': Billy from "The Off-Beats", The [[Running Gag]] in the series usually involved Billy saying something that would get Tina mad, and then the Populars would throw him out of the group, causing Billy to crash into something.
* ''[[Teen Titans (Animation)|Teen Titans]]'' in the episode "Fear Itself". Beast Boy, [[Genre Savvy|being an aficionado of horror movies]], spends most of the episode (until he's caught) [[Lampshade Hanging|telling everyone]] not to [[Let's Split Up, Gang!|split up]] as the monster ''always'' gets his targets easier that way, and that he, the funny guy, will inevitably be taken first. He ends up being right.
