History Main / Reveille

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'', this is how Sarge wakes up every morning. This is usually followed by Fillmore playing a Music/JimiHendrix rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner", leading to this exchange:

In fiction, Reveille is often used to wake up a character, whether they are in the military or at summer camp.

* In ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', when Sarge and Caboose go to [[ForeverWar Battle Creek]], both sides (red and blue) completely wipe each other out... until "Reveille" plays and suddenly everyone is back up and ready for another round of pointless fighting. This is a MythologyGag to what a ''VideoGame/{{Halo}}'' multiplayer game would look like to an actual player.

[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGnZxcS7VKA Reveille]] is a bugle call most often associated with the U.S. military, where it is used to wake up military personnel at sunrise. The name is taken from "réveillé" (or "réveil"), the French word for "wake up", as stated by the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reveille Reveille article]] at Wiki/TheOtherWiki.

* In ''Film/Jarhead'' Swofford is told by a sergeant to come next day and audition for the bugle corps (it's actually a sniper squad). When he shows up, his sergeant is 'shocked' that he doesn't have a bugle, and orders him to play Reveille with his mouth- followed by Stevie Wonder's "You Are the Sunshine of My Life".

* The title charater of ''Film/{{Angus}}'' puts on a vinyl of "Reveille" to jolt his Grandpa awake whenever he nods off. [[spoiler:The last time he does it, [[PleaseWakeUp Grandpa doesn't wakes up]]]].

* Appears as a plot point in one of the ''Literature/McAuslan''-stories. The narrator mentions that reveille is usually played by a lone bugler, but on Friday mornings, reveille is played by the regiment's massed pipes and drums. The reveille always, for reasons of carefully calculated cheeky insubordination, always begins just outside the Bachelor Officer's Quarters. Being hit with "Johnnie Cope" at full blast from five feet away at 6 a.m. causes one of the narrator's messmates to assume that the Americans have dropped the Bomb.

* In ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheGhoulSchool'', the Calloway cadets have what is known as a [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Roving Reveille Robot]], which is basically a bugle on tank wheels that rolls around while playing Reveille to wake up the cadets.

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': In "Baby Not on Board", Peter plays a Reveille on a bugle to get his kids up and in the car for the family's biog road trip, prompting a hilarious reaction from Chris.

* Happens in ''Film/HotShots''. The bugler gets trampled by the crowd running out of the billets.
