History MundaneMadeAwesome / WesternAnimation

* Doctor Orpheus, in ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', has the ability to make his speech sound awesome ([[{{Leitmotif}} complete with dramatic music]]) -- regardless of what he's saying.

* In ''WesternAnimation/WeAreTheStrange'', a dying mook sees his own blood gushing out before its eyes, then [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs a single drop of blood stops in mid-air, turns into a pixelated block, laughs at the him, turns back into a regular drop of blood and falls back down.]]

** "''A room...'''with a moose!'''''" First, Dib starts to let off a a BigNo before it sinks in, and when Zim does a demonstration of the what the Moose can do, [[spoiler: (eat walnuts)]] we get dramatic closeups of it eating them with Dib reacting like it's the worst thing imaginable.

* Buttercup spends the better part of '' WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' episode "Nuthin' Special" trying to find a special power that Blossom and Bubbles can't duplicate. She eventually finds it in curling her tongue which she treats as something to celebrate.

* A more meta example, but ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' fans like to take a particular line out of context to make it this. In context, it's the end of a rather tense conversation between Franchise/{{Superman}} and Franchise/{{Batman}} about Superman [[ParentalNeglect ignoring his responsibilities to]] [[ComicBook/{{Superboy}} Conner]]. Out of context:

** Then there was the time Bart and Skinner tortured each other with foods they were allergic to tied to a stick, which turned into a lengthy battle across the city, riding on top of cars and ending in a factory for (inexplicably)[[note]][[AluminumChristmasTrees Peanut Shrimp is a real thing in Southeast Asian cuisine.]][[/note]] both products, all set to "[[Film/ThePhantomMenace Duel of]] [[AwesomeMusic/StarWars the fates]]".

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'' is basically the embodiment of the trope. Every episode is about the characters trying to play a simple game, which culminates in explosions, [[ChaseScene car chases]], supernatural adventures and the like.

** Also the episode title (rendered in foot-high solid lettering, one word at a time, [[WhooshingCredits while spinning through space]]) -- "ZIM EATS WAFFLES"

* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' is entirely built on this trope.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PvJ1zBJ-us Daffy Duck: The Wizard]] is a HeavyMithril Power Ballad about Daffy doing incredibly mundane things like riding an escalator, blowing up a hot dog in a microwave, or crossing the street, juxtaposed with [[ArtShift lavishly-animated]] {{Imagine Spot}}s featuring him imagining himself as a powerful wizard doing fantastical versions of these things to the tune of a HeavyMithril power ballad.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'' features [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PvJ1zBJ-us Daffy Duck: The Wizard]], a HeavyMithril Power Ballad about Daffy doing incredibly mundane things like riding an escalator, blowing up a hot dog in a microwave, or crossing the street, juxtaposed with [[ArtShift lavishly-animated]] {{Imagine Spot}}s featuring the kind of stuff you'd expect from a Power Metal music video.
** Quite a few Merrie Melodies on the show do this, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxu75V4HHAk Elmer Fudd making a grilled cheese sandwich]] or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3xDfYNCFBQ eating chicken and beans.]]

** There's also the Cartoon Wars episodes. In one example, after Stan learns that an Islamic terrorist attack may result from a portrayal of Mohammed in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' and suggests they wait and see what happens, he follows it up by saying, "If we're still alive in the morning, (ExtremeCloseup) then we'll know we're not dead."

** Everything involving the [[CrazyAwesome Drastic Radicals]].

* Pretty much ''all'' of the preschoolers' and children's shows do this when it comes to teaching how brushing your teeth after every meal is fun, or always eating the vegetables, or washing your hands before eating or after going to the bathroom, etc., and making ''songs'' about it, so that the kid actually starts to like it.

** In the episode "Rome-Old and Juli-Eh," Bart and Lisa wage an epic war with the American Shipping Service, directly referencing key battle scenes from ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'', over the right to use complimentary shipping boxes to build a play-fort. Did we mention the [[InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons large, fire-breathing dragon]]? Because there's a large, fire-breathing dragon.
