Line 6:
''Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves''|'''[[Cream]],''' "White Room"}}
A featureless white room. So featureless, in fact, that you can't even tell where the walls, floor, and ceiling
As literal white [[Void Between the Worlds|voids]] represent some "other realm"
Occasionally, there are a few pieces of furniture (color is optional) in the room for the characters to sit down and have a discussion. May be an extreme form of [[Ascetic Aesthetic]]. When this effect is produced unintentionally by poor description, it is a [[Featureless Plane of Disembodied Dialogue]].
Line 30:
** Referenced by ''[[Ozy and Millie]]'' once when Avery decides to become a marketing icon. "I plan to spend a lot of time dancing weirdly in front of a white background."
* One of the more famous "Got Milk?" commercials involved a man who dies and wakes up in an empty white room in what seems to be heaven. Of course, then it turns out to be [[Hell|the other place.]]

Line 47:
* In one of [[Warren Ellis]]' issues of ''Dv8'', Copycat steps on a booby trap that apparently teleports her into one of these. {{spoiler|The white void later turns out to be a simulation, a result of being teleported to another room in the facility and hooked up to a virtual reality machine.}}
* Jean Van Hamme's ''Le Grand Pouvoir du Chninkel'' features ''le Non-Monde'' (the Non-World), a white space between the worlds.
* The universe itself is turned into a very large
Line 92:
* For a really obscure example: A 1990s Comedy Central sketch-comedy show called "Limboland" was entirely set in one of these.
* ''[[Penn and Teller Bullshit]]'' takes place in one of these. True to the show's form of pooh-poohing hocus-pocus, though, the camera sometimes pulls out and reveals that the white void is just a set, with cameras and lights and crew (something that is very easy to forget when you only watch TV and movies from one side of the camera).
* ''The Eyewitness'' series of science/nature documentaries feature [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSNJpoUmJcg an opening sequence ] in which the camera zooms through a kind of [[Mishmash Museum]] with animals of all sorts running about; the walls also have screens and picture frames depicing various images from the natural world.
** The museum itself is shown as being like this throughout the documentaries themselves, with video clips being introduced by the camera panning to the screens and picture frames. It also had the added strangeness effect of the pictures depicted being different every time, because they would be related to the subject matter.
* ''[[Doctor Who]]'':
Line 121:
* Surprisingly ''not'' the "White Room" described in the Eric Clapton song quoted, which features "black curtains"
* The setting for [[Beyonce]]'s ''Single Ladies'' video.
* As well as Michael Jackson's "Scream",<ref>Technically not featureless, but it was clearly meant to [[Invoked Trope|invoke]] this trope</ref>
* [[Lil Wayne]] and [[Kanye West]]'s Lollipop African Remix, as seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uR7_VACr-8Q here]
* The video for ABBA's "Take a Chance on Me" as seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UvtOQnPE5c&NR=1 here]. With the exception of a slight shadow of a corner in some shots.
Line 143:
* The final [[Cutscene]] in ''[[Command & Conquer]] 4: Tiberian Twilight'' is in a white void room [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8No_Ea6tmYY inside the Scrin tower].
* [[Big Bad|Ganondorf's]] [[Fate Worse Than Death|ultimate fate]] at the end of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' is to [[Sealed Evil in a Can|be sealed away]] in [[Another Dimension]] which is depicted as a white, formless void where [[And I Must Scream|he can do nothing but spew vile invectives at the heroes.]]
* The final battle in ''[[King of Fighters|King of Fighters XIII]]'' against {{spoiler|Ash under Saiki's control}} takes place in a
* ''[[Sonic Generations]]'' uses one as its [[Hub Level]], with small previews of each of the nine levels being used as their entrances.
* ''[[Asura's Wrath]]'' final phase of the {{spoiler|Chakratarvin the Creator}} boss fight the boss itself turn an entire plane of existence into this just by his raw power alone. It looks a lot like The Creator's room from [[.hack GU]] above. Helps that it's made by [[Cyber Connect 2|The Same Company]], and is likely a [[Shout-Out]].
