Line 68:
* In ''[[Super Dimension Fortress Macross]]'' (and a few of its sequels,) the first part of the Daedalus Attack consists of [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|the title mecha punching into an enemy ship]]. The second part consists of deploying lots and lots of [[Humongous Mecha]] from the "fist" to deliver a [[Macross Missile Massacre]] within the ship's interior, causing it to explode spectacularly.
* In ''[[Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles]]'' Ariel has a vision of Space station Liberty being blown up {{spoiler|Space station Liberty really is blown up, with blast radius of hundreds of kilometers - wiping out the Haydonite Fleet.}}
* Naturally, this trope is [[Baccano!|Nice Holystone]]'s [[Fetish|one true love]]. She even has explosives stored in her ''[[Eyepatch of Power|eye socket]]''.
* This is the standard response of Louise (of ''[[Zero no Tsukaima]]'') after she gets magic. And even slightly before...
* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' is particularly fond of filling the screen with explosions. Namely, if something is pierced with a drill, it explodes. The first [[Big Bad]] is defeated by getting a hole DETONATED on his torso, and the second one EXPLODES SEVEN TIMES.
Line 84:
* In ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', Solf J. Kimblee is an alchemist whose power is to turn things into bombs. [[Mad Bomber|He thoroughly enjoys himself doing so]].
** Not to mention Roy Mustang. Things go boom when he snaps his fingers. Literally. He enjoys it less than Kimblee though.
* One Contractor in ''[[Darker
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]] that she is, Skuld of ''[[Ah! My Goddess|Oh My Goddess!]]'' could probably drum up a flamethrower from old engine parts, or a disintegrator ray from a disassembled TV set, but, nope, she relies on bombs.

* [[Dragon Ball]] Z is made of this trope by the end of the Frieza saga. Planets get blown up left and right.
Line 381:
* Nearly every scene in the aptly named Flash cartoon ''The Demented Cartoon Movie'' ends with [[Stuff Blowing Up]]. The [[Earthshattering Kaboom|planet Earth]] gets blown up a total of ten times, and over 40 "nuclear explosions" happen, many of them thanks to the words "Zeeky Boogy Doog." '''* BOOM* '''
* You CAN'T sing in the ''Charlie the Unicorn'' toons. Kinda lampshaded in the second video.
* [[Ranma ½: The Abridged Chronicles|"Curse you, random explosions!"]]
* In the [[Half-Life|G-Mod]] "action film" ''Billy Mays Vs. Vince'', [[Vince Offer|Vince's]] favorite way of taunting [[Billy Mays|Billy]] is blowing his stuff up. Mighty Putty? Blows up a wall. The Ding King? Blows up a car door. Orange Clean? Blows up a dresser. Kaboom!? [[Bait and Switch|Drops a lamp on Billy's head]]. Then blows ''Billy'' up.
* [[G Mod]] videos tend to involve lots of explosions, simply because they're so ridiculously easy to set up and film. A good example is [[Rubber Fruit]]'s videos, which typically feature some perfectly comedy-timed explosions. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZq8JyNl6Jw This is probably the finest example there is] (0:50 onwards).
