* "Website/{{Clilk}}" web animation resource gives many examples of animated explosions, one of them is about the daily routine of a [[https://app.clilk.com/clilk/5dd5e544d6aa0ec73ad3b271/ penguin]].

*** Similarly, ''Haredevil Hare'' has Bugs blowing up the moon after handing Marvin a new explosive space modulator[[note]]which was actually a stick of dynamite[[/note]].

** "Captain Hareblower" has WesternAnimation/BugsBunny blowing up Yosemite Sam's ship by throwing a lit match into the gunpowder room. Sam tries to get even by doing the same to Bugs' ship, but Bugs doesn't even try to stop him and Sam makes a hasty retreat. Turns out it was the ''other'' kind of powder room (the ladies' bathroom), [[RuleOfFunny yet it explodes anyway]].

** The "Penguin on the Telly" sketch ends with a TV presenter announcing "It's just gone 8 o'clock, and time for the penguin on top of your television set to explode." Cue the penguin exploding violently.

'''Presenter:''' [[TheTelevisionTalksBack It was an educated guess.]]

* The film adaptation of ''Film/VForVendetta'' ends with Evey blowing up Parliament with V's Subway Train filled with Explosives, both to honor his last wish to avenge the years of torture he had suffered from their experiments, and to help free London from its corrupt government. Doubles as a BookEnd since the film started with an early explosion as well, with V blowing up the ''Old Bailey''.

* ''TheDementedCartoonMovie'' has multiple skits end this way.
