History MindScrew / WesternAnimation

** The Itchy-and-Scratchy replacement "Worker and Parasite" from "Krusty Gets Kancelled". Krusty's reaction ("What the hell was that?!") is dead on.

* Pretty much every episode of XavierRenegadeAngel.

--> Mandy: "Billy, if you had been [[InsaneTrollLogic paying attention the whole time you would have figure out he was an Earthworm]]."

* ''TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' is more or less constructed from this trope. The various episodes follow vague premises with more Mind Screw moments and {{Big Lipped Alligator Moment}}s then virtually any other show. A particularly memorable one though, is at the end of an episode where they unmask a villain (bare in mind he's adult-sized) to reveal... an [[FlatWhat earthworm]]!?

* One in the Time Travel episode of ''{{Gargoyles}}'', to quote the Nostalgia Critic:

* [[AvatarTheLastAirbender Aang's]] stress-related hallucinations in Nightmares and Daydreams get so over the top that you might just forget that he's nervous about the invasion and think that the creators are on something.

* AeonFlux. The TV show. Some episodes are worse than others, but the complete lack of continuity, bizarre dystopian setting, overtly philosophical conversations (or complete silence depending which season you're watching), and unusual symbolism that is indistinguishable from the RuleOfCool events. It's weird. It is, however, absolutely awesome.

* In SpongebobSquarepants, the first episode where you see Pearl does not seem weird... FridgeLogic ensues, as you ask yourself, "How the heck can a crab father a whale?!"

* The final episode of ''TeenTitans'' was really more of a NoEnding, but it was such an over-the-top and inexplicable No Ending that it has to be mentioned here. It has been stated in interviews that the show's staff wasn't too keen on explaining things in the story; what transpired here can be best described as that policy's logical conclusion.

* ''[[XavierRenegadeAngel Xavier: Renegade Angel]]'' is basically one massive, nonsensical mind screw after another, until the whole thing resembles a 3D-animated acid trip GoneHorriblyWrong.

* At the end of the ''Series/SuperMarioWorld'' episode "The Yoshi Shuffle", Luigi's brain is apparently melted (giving rise to the FanNickname "Retard Luigi") following this exchange:

* ''TwelveOunceMouse''

* The non-canonical ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'' short [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuSshdGE1Lo "School Time Shipping"]] ends with [[spoiler:Katara dating the Blue Spirit. No, NOT Zuko. Zuko stands right there, watching.]]

* The ''{{Futurama}}'' episode "The Sting", in which Leela's perception of reality becomes more and more deranged, with events that turn out to be dreams, a hallucination of a morbidly cheerful musical number, a 2001ASpaceOdyssey parody, and descent into obsessive insanity. It turns out [[spoiler: everything in the episode since the bee attack was her nightmare.]]

* AeonFlux. No, not that infernal [[AdaptationDecay movie]], the TV show. Some episodes are worse than others, but the complete lack of continuity, bizarre dystopian setting, overtly philosophical conversations (or complete silence depending which season you're watching), and unusual symbolism that is indistinguishable from the RuleOfCool events. It's weird. It is, however, absolutely awesome.

* Parodied in ''TheSimpsons'', where an advertising company produce a TV advert for The Plow King, featuring a opera-singing woman screaming at a snow-globe before smashing it on the pavement. In black and white. The family's response sums it up well.

** The Itchy-and-Scratchy replacement "Worker and Parasite", anyone? Krusty's reaction is dead on.
** And, of course, the "Mr. Sparkle" commercial, where a Japanese detergent mascot that looks like Homer Simpson's head shatters a two-headed cow like glass (amoung other things). I really wish I was making that up.

* One in the Time Travel episode of ''{{Gargoyles}}'', to quote the Nostalgia Critic: basically, they make it back to Manhattan, but it turns out Xanatos took over in the forty years they were gone, but then it turns out that it isn't Xanatos at all, but a computer with Xanatos' memories, but then it turns out it wasn't the computer, but ''Lexington'', who was overtaken by madness, [[{{OverlyLongGag}} but then it turns out]] that the whole thing was an illusion created by Puck to get the time medallion, but then it turns out that it was all a dream, but it may not have, interesting? Yes. Confusing? Oh, hell yes.

* Parodied in Family guy in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B64mI-FfT7w&feature=related "Oceans Three and a half]]
