*** In fact, the entirety "Make Love, Not Warcraft" fits this trope by somehow making the quest to kill one high-level WorldOfWarcraft {{Griefer}} completely epic. Semi-justifiable, since this one player has somehow broken [=WoW=]'s PvP rules, can kill ''Admins'', and seems to be determined to kill every player in the game so many times that they get extremely frustrated and never want to play again.

** Also, let's not forget the one episode where Dib gets powers, and showed off how awesome it was by sliding from the 2nd floor to the first, ''outside of his house'', threw toast, butter, and orange juice in the air, all forming to make breakfast, which he also ate in the air.

** What about FBI Warning of Doom? Zim attempts to return a movie, while a crazed mall cop tries to stop him. (Because it was after hours.) The whole ordeal ends with the cop trying to stop Zim with a zombie army. However, it can all be summed up with this one line:

In one of his many time-wasting gimmicks, he spends an implied ludicrous amount of time and effort writing the "The" at the start of the paper, so the sequence ends up just looking "awesome" instead of being the HardWorkMontage it initially appears to be.
** The opening scene of ''The [=SpongeBob SquarePants=] [[TheMovie Movie]]'' features a dramatic scene based around the "crisis" of a customer being given a Krabby Patty without cheese, complete with a slow-motion sequence of [=SpongeBob=] putting some cheese into the patty. It's a DreamSequence, but still...
** How about any time the Krabby Patty is brought to the audiences attention by [=SpongeBob=], or at least when it focuses on him making krabby patties.
** When a customer gets a Patty with jellyfish jelly added, he's so enthused that he bursts into an impromptu musical number: "''LISTEN'' to me, everybody! I just had a sand-''wich''! It's no ordinary sand-''wich''!"
** And in one of the ''Legends of Bikini Bottom'' episodes, [=SpongeBob=] is unconscious due to his Krabby Patty meter being empty. Mr. Krabs gets him to eat one. He then blasts up, explodes into pieces, then regenerates after all of them land together, and then...
--> '''''[[ChewingTheScenery "OHHHHHHHHH, YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"]]'''''
** Mermaid Man. "To the meatloaf... AWAY!"
** '''[[MemeticMutation "CHOCOLATE?! CHOCOLATE!!!!"]]'''
** The show for many fans.
* ''SouthPark'' episode "Good Times With Weapons". The boys playing around with weapons is turned awesome with an ArtShift and the use of {{shonen}} fighting anime tropes, complete with an upbeat [[AnimeThemeSong makeshift J-pop song]] in the background.
** The episode "D-Yikes!," a parody of ''[[ThreeHundred 300]]'', features [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67KXHqNNJks Mrs. Garrison making coffee]].
*** In that same episode, an unknown lesbian character takes a potato chip... [[DeathNote and '''eats''' it.]]
** Lice Capades is worth a mention. "KEL-LAY!" And cutting to the lice being blown away and horribly dying -- while the kid who got the lice is taking a shower and washing his hair.
** 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 ''FamilyGuy'' and suggests they wait and see what happens, he follows it up by saying, "If we're still alive in the morning, (DramaticCloseup) then we'll know we're not dead."
** "It'll be the end of the world! ... of Warcraft."
*** In fact, the entirety "Make Love, Not Warcraft" fits this trope by somehow making the quest to kill one high-level WorldOfWarcraft player completely epic. Semi-justifiable, since this one player has somehow broken WoW's PvP rules, can kill ''Admins'', and seems to be determined to kill every player in the game so many times that they get extremely frustrated and never want to play again.
--> (holding up a thumb drive) "Behold... the Sword of a Thousand Truths!"
* Doctor Orpheus, in ''TheVentureBrothers,'' has the ability to make his speech sound awesome (complete with dramatic music) -- regardless of what he's saying. ("Do not be too hasty in entering that room -- I had ''Taco Bell'' for lunch!")
** "Greetings, Pumpkin, I am at Mr. Venture's lab to right that which is wrong and to repair the torn curtain of time itself! There are four puddings in the fridge. You may enjoy the contents of one of them. Dinner at six"
** Monarch henchmen 21 and 24 manage to make [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkOP0CBKtPw putting on their uniforms and getting into a car]] awesome by singing "Mars, Bringer Of War."
*** Granted, doing that in perfect synch with each other while being out of earshot is pretty awesome.
* Done occasionally in ''FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'', normally to emphasize or Lampshade how low-key the goings-on are for a show where fantastic beings spring to life on a whim.
* In ''PerfectHairForever'', anything Astonomicat does other than sitting around is accompanied by dramatic music -- even performing a background check on a computer.
* ''RocketPower'' replaces such things as OminousLatinChanting with [[{{Narm}} embarassingly exaggerated]] attempts at [[RuleOfCool being cool]], especially in regard to extreme sports (being the premise of the show). Or, as the show puts it '''[[TotallyRadical sick]]'''!!
* Mildly spoofed in ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'':
-->'''Sokka''': I do believe it's my turn. I'm going to spend my vacation... IN THE LIBRARY!!!
** Azula also employs the trope a couple of times during the third-season BeachEpisode by taking the [[SeriousBusiness same approach]] to beach volleyball and flirting with boys that she takes to world domination. It involves [[ElementalPowers fire]], [[ScreamingWarrior loud declarations]], and ''[[StuffBlowingUp explosions]]''.
--->'''Azula''': We have defeated you for all time! You will never rise from the ashes of your shame and humiliation! ... [cheerfully] Well, that was fun!
--->'''Azula''': That's a ''sharp'' outfit, Chan. Careful; you might puncture the hull of an empire-class Fire Nation battleship, leaving ''thousands'' to ''drown'' at ''sea''! ... Because... it's so sharp.
*** From the same episode, we have DisturbedDoves going along with Zuko ''[[ShirtlessScene taking off his shirt]]''.
** "The Ember Island Players" was [[TheAbridgedSeries a recap of the series]] [[WhoWouldWantToWatchUs as a play]], and they represented bending with ''streamers''. It actually looks cooler than you'd think (choreography and special effects were about [[StylisticSuck all they had going]]). There's also the fact that most scenes parodied are accompanied by the appropriate music (ex. the recreation of [[spoiler:Aang getting hit by Azula's lightning]] has the same dramatic music playing despite how completely ''un''dramatic [[BadBadActing their performance was]]).
** There's also when they were invading the Earth Kingdom palace and Sokka tried to kick down a big fancy door. He gives it a flying kick with a StockFootage-esque background... and the door doesn't budge an inch.
** Sokka's Haiku Battle (which the background music made it seem more like a Rap Battle.)
* The duel over dumplings between Shifu and Po in ''KungFuPanda'' which ends the panda's training, starts out as this but by the end of the fight, when Po proves his mastery (and lack of upset) by claiming he's no longer hungry, it has crossed over to become a full-fledged CrowningMomentOfAwesome, as evidenced by the spontaneous applause when this editor saw the movie on opening day.
* ''{{WALL-E}}'' somehow manages to make the act of ''[[spoiler:a fat guy standing up]]'' look unbelievably awesome. Complete with Richard Strauss' ''AlsoSprachZarathustra'' (AKA "That really epic monolith music from the beginning of ''TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''"). But considering the fact that [[spoiler:it was probably the first time '''''in his entire life''''' that he managed to stand under his own power, not to mention the fact that he was probably the only person in his or several previous ''generations'' to stand up, and he summoned the resolve to do so because ''the fate of humanity'' depended upon it]], this ''was'' awesome.
** Also the character M-O. He doesn't have an ArmCannon, a CreepyMonotone or the ability to be able to [[FriendToAllLivingThings befriend every robot]] he's just a small obsessive NeatFreak, but Pixar was still able to make him as awesome as possible.
* ''{{Ratatouille}}'' turns SOUP-MAKING into the coolest freaking' thing ever!
** Ratatouille in general could be considered the personification of this trope. As Pixar themselves said, it stars a rat (an animal liked by few and outright hated by many) who spends his time cooking (a subject that is not well known for its excitment), and is set in [[CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys France]]. It was one of the best reviewed films of its year.
* PIXAR enjoys this trick. Check out [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRAfm5glLFY Carl's very precise morning routine]] in ''Film/{{Up}}'', with epic music contrasted with his resigned/bored old man expression. (The music is "Habanera" from the opera ''Carmen''.)
* Ninja Handyman, from ''PlanetSketch'', solves mundane problems and, [[RuleOfCool being a ninja]], of course has to behave as if he had saved the day, big time.
* Most {{Transformers}}' [[KibblesAndBits kibble]] (the bits of alt-mode that don't have a purpose in robot mode) just hang off their bodies uselessly. Bulkhead of ''TransformersAnimated'', however, can [[http://www.tfwiki.info/wiki/Image:Bulkheadchair.jpg transform his kibble into a chair.]] This is considered by the fandom to be pretty awesome, especially since one of his toys can actually do this.
* In an episode of ''SamuraiJack'' after the Scotsman has rescued Jack from a bunch of sirens they have a series of contests to decide who would be the one to row back. The contests culminated in a thumbwrestling match, complete with close-ups on their thumbs and faces all while in slow motion.
* ''TheTick'''s speeches.
** Especially, "''Arthur!'' I'm doing ''laundry!''" which may very well be one of the defining moments for this trope.
* Master Shake and Dr. Weird do this occasionally in ''AquaTeenHungerForce''
--->'''Dr. Weird''': GENTLEMEN, BEHOLD! THE THERMO...STAT!
--->'''Steve''': That's been there.
--->'''Dr. Weird''': OBSERVE...AS I...ADJUST THE HEAT!
* ''DannyPhantom'', mainly in the episode ''Identity Crisis.'' Super Danny seems to permanently have a breeze around him, even when he's standing still.
** "This looks like a job for...''the vacuum cleaner!''" (Followed by him cleaning the room by ''riding'' the vacuum cleaner.)
** "I'm more than alright! I'm ''DANNY FENTON!''" (Cue dramatic lighting.)
** Speaking of which, the aforementioned Zim ''Globs of Doom'' scene takes place in, yes, Amity Park.
* In ''TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'', a huge monstrous ogre-type tries to defeat Captain K'nuckles in a poker game with, as he puts it: "Pair of... TWOOOOOOOOOOSS!!" (He loses, naturally).
** With a pair of threes no less.
* ''{{Fillmore}}!'' was ''built'' on this trope. Middle school is SeriousBusiness!
* ''PhineasAndFerb'' practically ''runs'' on this trope. For example, the episode "Tip of the Day" ended with a crowd song about ''[[WhatTheHeckIsAnAglet aglets]]'' (you know, those plastic things on the ends of a shoelace ([[JusticeLeague their true purpose is sinister]]).
** "Raging Bully": After accidentally causing Buford to drop Ice Cream on himself, Phineas is challenged to a duel, and the entire episode has them set up a boxing ring, going through a Rocky-style training montage... all for a thumb war! THE MOST EPIC THUMB WAR EVER, even with an overly excited commentator!
** One episode features dramatic zooming and music whenever a character announces something they're going to do; one time there's nothing to actually zoom in on but a random patch of sky, forcing Ferb to jump in at the last moment.
* John Redcorn on ''KingOfTheHill'' is frequently introduced with blowing leaves and a signature musical leitmotif in the style of a MagicalNativeAmerican, but he's usually just going about his mundane business.
** Also, there is the episode where Hank is constipated. Probably the only episode of any show that can make ''pooping'' a dramatic and climactic event that ends the episode on a ridiculously positive note.
* ''FamilyGuy'' had that episode where Peter and friends became ''Series/TheATeam''. They fixed a chair complete with heroic music playing.
** Don't forget the one where a disinfection work turns into a major, ''dramatic'' action scene, with every trope played straight for maximum hilarity.
* In ''TheSimpsons'' episode "Rome-Old and Juli-Eh," Bart and Lisa wage an epic war with the American Shipping Service, directly referencing key battle scenes from ''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.
* In ''JusticeLeagueTheNewFrontier'', after giving a bonafide rousing speech uniting superhumans and uniformed military for the first time since the Cold War started, {{Superman}} finishes with this:
-->"I'm going to fly out now and recon [[GeniusLoci this thing]]. When I get back, we'll work out a strategy. ''Are you with me?''\\
''[Cue assembled multitudes of hard-bitten warriors, cheering loudly for the idea of sitting around for a while, and then figuring out what they're going to do later on that afternoon]''
* Again, half the point of ''KickButtowski''.
* ''TheBoondocks'' is doing this with, of all things, ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5Da90PI94w kickball]]''. The actual episode does not disappoint, ending with a DragonBallZ-slash-AvatarTheLastAirbender-esque final pitch.
* In ''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.]]
* The pilot of ''RegularShow'' offers this twice; first with the lead characters making ''cereal'' ("Milk... cereal... ''combine''...") and then with an epic game of rock, paper, scissors set to hard rock music... that summons an EldritchAbomination after the 100th tie.
** Hell, the entire show runs on this trope. Apparently, audits destroy the fabric of reality with MatrixRainingCode and there exists anime so nonsensical that merely watching it can suck out your soul.
* The ''{{Futurama}}'' episode "Less Than Hero" had the villainous Zookeeper demand his tamed crow to take the Quantum Gemerald from the Planet Express crew in a grandiose fashion, which amounted to swooping over three feet and taking it back. Fry [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] this trope: "That seemed unnecessary."
** From "Prisoner of Benda", we have Professor Farnsworth's declaration "I'm afraid we need to use... ''math!''", complete with dramatic zoom-in and music.
* ''{{Sym-Bionic Titan}}'' gives us epic tuna can opening.
* ''SweestersVirtualRoom'', a series where ''every'' episode is the BottleEpisode, has an istance of this when a simple ''thumb war'' [[SeriousBusiness becomes the most epic thing in the universe.]] Complete with a BigNo in SlowMotion at the end. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny It's exactly as cheesy as it sounds.]]
* MegasXLR. Coop makes the simple act of pushing a button awesome, by smashing it with his ''face''.
** Also, the Context-Sensitive-Big-Red-Button that changes episode to episode. It's even changed ''twice'' in the ''same episode''.
* From [[ADayInTheLimelight "The Hunkyard"]] episode VoltronForce, we have an example of Hunk barbequing...ribs the size of a Buick on a customized grill the size of a church organ. His secret ingredient: jet fuel. Not only does he, predictably, burn such ribs, they launch into the air and through the ceiling, activating the Castle of Lion's missile defense system. Pidge's reaction is PRICELESS:
--->'''Pidge''' (playing air guitar): GRISTLE DEFENSE SYSTEM! GRISTLE DEFENSE! GRISTLE DEFENSE! (Hunk joins.) BWAH BWAH!
* In the episode of EdEddNEddy, "An Ed Too Many," Jimmy goes [[{{Yandere}} when Sarah starts sessing]] over Double D. He declares he's "A Lone Wolf looking for trouble," and procedes to rip apart his teddy bear.
* The epic game of tag in ThePowerpuffGirls movie.
* The second season premiere of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' gave us this line: [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E2TheReturnOfHarmonyPart2 "This is my book... and I AM GOING TO READ IT!"]]
** And before that, [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E1TheReturnOfHarmonyPart1 "Eternal chaos comes with chocolate rain, you guys! CHOCOLATE RAIN!"]]
** [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E4LunaEclipsed "It's time for me to do what I do best - lecture her!"]]
** "[[ShoutOut With Celestia as my witness]] ''[[GoneWithTheWind I will never go sisterless again!]]''"
*** This is also a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming (Rarity vowing to make up with her baby sister) and a CrowningMomentOfAwesome (Rarity admitting she was wrong).
** From "Green Isn't Your Color": Pinkie Pie's gonna take an apple...[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQnSdXh0syE and eat it.]]
** Pinkie Pie as Chancellor Puddinghead in "Hearth's Warming Eve": "In the name of the earth ponies, I think I'm gonna name this new place...uh...DIRTVILLE!"
** Granny Smith's preparations for Zap Apple Jam-making in "Family Appreciation Day", especially the scene where she acts like a drill sergeant towards a bunch of jam-jars.
* ''AquaTeenHungerForce'': [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cV9oO0nqVGQ&feature=player_detailpage#t=139s]]
--->'''Dr. Weird''': Gentlemen! Behold! The thermo... stat! *epic zoom in*
--->'''Steve''': That's been there.
--->'''Dr. Weird''': Observe... as I... '''adjust the heat'''! *maniacal laughter*
--->*beat*
--->'''Steve''': Is it on?
--->'''Dr. Weird''': You... tell me! *maniacal laughter* [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope Oh, oh, WAIT!]] [[PlayedForLaughs *bursts into flame*]]]]
* ''TheLooneyTunesShow'' features [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PvJ1zBJ-us ''Daffy Duck: The Wizard'']], a HeavyMithril Power Ballad about Daffy doing incredibly mundane things like blowing up a hot dog in a microwave or crossing the street juxtaposed with the kind of stuff you'd expect from a Power Metal music video.
* In ''HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas'', a waiter arrives, bringing a covered dish, in which there's a ''smaller'' waiter with a smaller covered dish, and so on and so on, until the smallest opens his dish to reveal...an apple.
