| 20 | [[MundaneHorror When a mundane conversation goes bad]]. You're winding up a boring conversation, and throw in one last thing in there. And that one last thing was praise for the UsefulNotes/KuKluxKlan, or a plan to kill the Mayor, or [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking a swear word]], when you had been talking about options for where to eat dinner or something. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | ->"So yeah, we'll just run out for pizza, catch a movie, maybe go out for a couple drinks, and lynch that bastard. Sound good?" |
| 23 | |
| 24 | Bonus points for the listener asking with a horrified tone "What was that last one again?" and [[LastSecondWordSwap the last harmless option before the horrifying one being repeated instead]]. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | ->"What, go out for a couple drinks?" |
| 27 | |
| 28 | A common variation has one additional, harmless (but often comically inappropriate) item tacked on to the end of the list. This allows other characters to react in horror — to the wrong thing: |
| 29 | |
| 30 | ->"So yeah, we'll just run out for pizza, catch a movie, murder my next door neighbor, and, if we have time, go skydiving."\ |
| 31 | [[ComicallyMissingThePoint "Are you crazy? I'm terrified of airplanes."]] |
| 32 | |
| 33 | This variation also implies that the speaking character knew that the "Squick" item is controversial, and so it is all the easier for the other characters to miss it if they added something else onto the list. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | Another variation has a person finding a to-do-list and it will be something like: |
| 36 | |
| 37 | ->1. Write out bills.\ |
| 38 | 2. Return library books.\ |
| 39 | 3. Finish and commence with assassination plot. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | A more subtle trick is when the {{Squick}} is revealed by a [[RevealShot change in the camera shot]]. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | Compare BreathlessNonSequitur, WeirdAside. SisterTrope to TooMuchInformation and BreadEggsBreadedEggs (occasionally, this and Breaded Eggs overlap, to make a bad list even worse). Contrast ArsonMurderAndJaywalking, which is in the opposite order and where the mood is lightened by including something silly. Frequently overlaps with MoodWhiplash. |

| 65 | [[folder:Advertising]] |
| 66 | * ''Advertising/BigBillHells'' features a few examples, being a ParodyCommercial that heavily leans into AbusiveAdvertising and [[ClusterFBomb copious amounts of profanity]]: |
| 67 | ** "Bring your trade! Bring your title! Bring your wife! We'll fuck her!" |
| 68 | ** "Don't wait! Don't delay! Don't fuck with us, or [[FreudianThreat we'll rip your nuts off!]]" |
| 69 | * The current trope picture is from Constance Bay, Ottawa. Apparently, the backstory behind the sign is that it had a blank space in a group of six boxes, and the sign makers having a good sense of humor, [[http://www.ivany.org/constance-bay-red-light-district/ decided to fill it in]]. |
| 70 | * A [=DirecTV=] ad has Music/BonJovi extolling the virtues of being able to "go back in time" and watch past episodes of TV shows that a married couple have missed, then starts singing about other uses for the ability to go back in time and correct mistakes, starting with choosing a different kind of salsa and ending with deciding not to have a second child, whereupon the salsa changes and the couple's youngest son [[RetGone vanishes from existence]], meaning the ad effectively ends with Bon Jovi killing a kid because his parents didn't want him. |
| 71 | * The ''Advertising/ClaudeTheCat'' PSA about loose connections has Claude talking about the signs a connection is loose. He starts out with simple things like a frayed cord or a loose plug, but then ends with "or if the bed suddenly catches fire". |
| 72 | * There is a commercial for Pay As You Go phones, where a cell phone from the 1980s and a pink modern cell phone are the proud parents, extolling the benefits of their new baby cell phone and how it is going to help people save money on their monthly talk, text, and data plans. And then they walk off screen to go ''raise some bars'', [[DontExplainTheJoke if you know what we mean]]. |
| 73 | %%Perhaps someone familiar with this commercial SHOULD explain the joke to clarify this example. |
| 74 | * This unknown [[https://www.reddit.com/r/FellowKids/comments/26sr4e/this_antidrug_campaign_is_so_on_point_with_my/ anti-drug ad]]: "She's on Website/{{Facebook}}, Website/{{Twitter}}, Website/MySpace and Heroin." |
| 75 | * A series of [=PSAs=] by Children of the Street about child predators in online gaming has a cartoon character describe their superpowers, ending with "sending nude photos to your kids," "tricking your kids into sending me nude photos," and "luring your kids to meet in real life." |

| 79 | * ''ARG/OmegaMart'' sells Shrubs Frozen Avacado Treats, Whale Song Antiperspirant and Antidepressant, Dark Matter Cleaning Spray, Omega Goatmeal, Omega Mart Lemons (not to be confused with lemons), Orange Drink, and Gestating Mammal Liquid, available in Millk, Toast Paint, with Added Bacteria, and Aged forms! Among other various products, of course. |
| 80 | [[/folder]] |
| 81 | |
| 82 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 83 | * ''Anime/{{Aggretsuko}}'': In the season one finale of the Netflix series, Director Ton complains that three of their employees are out during an end-of-quarter crunch. Haida's out sick with pneumonia, Tsubone [[LaserGuidedKarma fractured her wrist]] trying to open her own ImpossiblePickleJar, and [[GossipyHens Kabae]] somehow got arrested on suspicion of espionage. |
| 84 | * ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom'' has [[DudeLooksLikeALady Nagisa]], who idly chats with a classmate and says that, in the coming school year, he'd like to get to know everyone in class 3-E, live his life without leaving things undone, and kill their teacher. Not as psychotic as it sounds, because the teacher in question is a [[SuperSpeed high speed]] [[CombatTentacles bipedal octopus]] [[EldritchAbomination smiley faced monster]] that is going to [[EarthShatteringKaboom blow up the Earth]] if they don't kill him in a year's time. Also, the class 3-E was essentially conscripted by japanese government for that exact purpose, so from their point it's a perfectly normal thing to say. ItMakesSenseInContext. |
| 85 | * ''Manga/Brave10'' contains a visual example. While Saizo is complaining about the other Braves goofing off, there are images of [[TheBeastmaster Sasuke]] hanging out with his animals, [[IceQueen Anastasia]] sitting by a river and [[AxCrazy Kamanosuke]] threatening a villager. |
| 86 | * In ''Manga/ACertainScientificRailgun'', two lab employees are discussing the health of the latest Misaka clone, before ordering her to [[spoiler: clean up about a dozen identical-to-her corpses, just recently murdered]]. |
| 87 | * ''Anime/CodeGeass R2'': When [[spoiler:C.C. loses her memories]], she starts counting her skills to her "new lord": preparing food, cleaning, fetching water, tending cows and sheeps, sewing, she can read a little bit and count up to twenty and cleaning corpses. |
| 88 | * ''Anime/CrayonShinChan'': |
| 89 | ** The English GagDub has Shin's mother saying "You'll just waste your money on kiddie crap like trading cards, video games, and crystal meth". |
| 90 | ** Another episode had Ai's bodyguard having a team search a lake for a kappa, but instead found "600 catfish, 1400 minnows, a Loch Ness Monster, Penny's sister Caitlin, and 500,000 copies of Eddie Murphy's "Party All the Time". |
| 91 | ** When Georgie and Shin are at a library, three shelves are labelled "fiction", "non-fiction", and "{{snuff|Film}}". |
| 92 | * In ''Manga/DeathNote'', L does this, all without so much as looking away from the evidence received from the tape sent by "Kira". |
| 93 | --> '''L:''' Hair, food crumbs... oh, and by the way, if I die in the next few days, your son is [[SerialKiller Kira]]. |
| 94 | * Often happens literally in ''Manga/DeliciousInDungeon'', where the entire point is cooking monsters into FoodPorn. [[TeamChef Senshi's]] lists of ingredients will usually start out ordinary (oil, salt, vegetables, etc.) only to throw in some monster parts (giant bat flesh, sliced kraken parasite, dryad fruits) as the main ingredient. |
| 95 | * Occurs several times in ''Manga/ElfenLied''. The most notable example involves the employees of the secret lab thing making idle chit chat as their superior (who seems a genuinely likable, if eccentric, person with a love for candy sticks). The final panel reveals that [[spoiler: whilst the coworkers are chit-chatting and eating candy, a seemingly endless train of ''completely uncensored dismembered diclonii torsos''--complete with dangling entrails--is trundling past the window]]. |
| 96 | * ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' gives us this... magnificent example. [[spoiler:For bonus points, they're all true.]] |
| 97 | -->'''Raven:''' Have you heard any interesting rumors lately, [[ColonelBadass Mustang?]]\ |
| 98 | '''Mustang:''' Only the ones too absurd to be worth mentioning. [[SerialKiller Scar]] being sighted feeding a stray [[CuteKitten cat]]. A man who can't be killed no matter how hard you try. [[spoiler:King Bradley is a homunculus...]] |
| 99 | * ''Manga/FutureDiary'': At chapter 56, Yuno's feelings for [[spoiler: the 2nd world]] Yukki are very confusing, so she plays a {{Tsundere}} with her unique style: |
| 100 | -->'''Yuno:''' ''No, no no no! I've already abandoned this Yukki!'' '''I don't like him or anything.''' Not only that, [[spoiler:I'm the one trying to kill him right now!]] |
| 101 | * In the YuriGenre manga ''Manga/HanjukuJoshi'', Chitose is out jogging when she bumps into her teacher Ran doing the same. She asks Ran a bunch of innocent jogging-related questions, and then concludes with [[spoiler:"Does Sensei insert her finger when doing lecherous acts with girls?"]] Ran carelessly answers "Yes!" before she can process what the question is. |
| 102 | * In the dub of ''Anime/HetaliaAxisPowers'', UsefulNotes/{{baseball}} is described as "some kind of game. You need a stick, a ball, and steroids." |
| 103 | * ''Manga/{{Horimiya}}'': When Iura asks Ishikawa why Miyamura and Sengoku are excusing themselves from taking a mandatory swimming class in the pool, Ishikawa responds that [[BlatantLies Sengoku's arm blew up]] and that [[CallBack Miyamura is on]] his [[FakePeriodExcuse period]]. |
| 104 | -->'''Iura:''' Ah.\ |
| 105 | ''[{{beat}}]''\ |
| 106 | '''Iura:''' [[DoubleTake ...Huh?]]\ |
| 107 | '''Ishikawa:''' Well, it's summer. A lot of things blow up this time of year. |
| 108 | * In ''Manga/MonthlyGirlsNozakiKun'', when Mikoshiba is shanghaied into being a model for Sakura's art club, most of the girls let him do poses appealing to them. Sakura has him imitate [[SingleTargetSexuality Nozaki at work]], other girls have him do stock sexy poses... and one girl has him pose as a guy crawling pathetically after an angry girlfriend after breaking up due to his infidelity. Said girl looks upon the scene with a very pleased smile, weirding out the rest of the club. |
| 109 | * A visual version of this happens in ''Manga/OnePiece'' when all the Straw Hats are shown separately finding a secret message Luffy sent them. It's simply each crew member individually saying "I get it!", until it ends with a view of Franky, who was last seen in the middle of an explosion, and now [[FacialHorror has most of his face burned clean off]]. |
| 110 | * ''Literature/OniAi'': When Akito falls ill, Arisa brings in a massive selection of foods as well as a few non-food items to help him get well. She lists out the non-food items: "... pickled plum to crush on your forehead, a sake-soaked hot cloth, a fried leek to insert rectally, some garlic..." |
| 111 | * ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' uses the camera shot version of this. A character [[spoiler:(Our protagonist, Utena)]] lying in bed has what seems like a meaningless monologue about lunch until the audience realizes the scene is establishing that the character is having (or just had) sex. [[BedmateReveal Then it shows]] with whom they had the sex, [[spoiler:Akio, who's more or less her ''principal''... and the villain of the series... and she's ''fourteen years old'']], which is where the squick really comes in. |
| 112 | * ''Anime/SamuraiChamploo'': In "Elegy of Entrapment, Verse 2", when Fuu and Jin sense that Sara is being manipulated, Mugen responds with "Take your pick. We've dined and dashed, snuck through a checkpoint, and, oh yeah, killed people." |
| 113 | * Parodied in one episode of ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' when discussing how people mention very important (and urgent) things in a casual tone. Examples included: "You're all held back for another year, see you tomorrow"; your parents explaining to your neighbor that you were an accidental child; finding out that your parents divorced last week, not bothering telling you and act like it's no big deal. The entire class decides [[MundaneMadeAwesome to shout out meaningless trivialities in overly dramatic manners]]. Chiri decides it looks fun and joins in...By revealing she's been doping her sister with illegal injections in an overly dramatic manner, not only subverting the intent of the exercise but also revealing that doing so is apparently is a meaningless triviality to her. |
| 114 | ** [[FreezeFrameBonus Garlic injections are good. They just happen to be illegal.]] |
| 115 | * Okabe of ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate'' uses this to describe [[WholesomeCrossdresser Ruka]]: |
| 116 | -->'''Okabe:''' Ruka Urushibara. Delicate as an orchid. Fair as a cherry blossom. The personification of feminine grace... [[DudeLooksLikeALady and a dude]]. Tall as a willow, slender as a reed...a dude. Radiant in shrine vestments...dude. The sun dips low in the rosy sky. Cicadas buzz. Ruka...is a dude. |
| 117 | * ''Manga/TheSummerYouWereThere'' has a dramatic and [[WhamLine shocking]] example at the end of the penultimate chapter. |
| 118 | -->'''Shizuku narrating''': The next morning, I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock, [[spoiler:and the news of Kaori's passing]]. |
| 119 | * In ''Manga/Zom100BucketListOfTheDead'', Akira is thoroughly refreshed by the fact that he never has to go back to work thanks to the ZombieApocalypse. He stops to take in all of the colors and sights he'd long forgotten after years of staring at a computer monitor. Blue skies, green trees, and bright red blood. |
| 120 | [[/folder]] |
| 121 | |
| 122 | [[folder:Comedy]] |
| 123 | * ''Blog/DeadcodersReviews'': "We had some good Sissi moments, a decent fight scene, drama without the midair-halting laser beam, and two people murdering what was effectively their child" |
| 124 | * The Pete and Brian sketch "Knock Knock" takes the classic "priest, rabbi and shaman walk into a bar" joke and somehow turns it into being about how someone's dad molested them within the space of a few sentences. |
| 125 | -->A priest, a rabbi, and a shaman walk into a bar!\ |
| 126 | But there's no rabbi and no shaman ''[laughs]'' and it's actually my eighth birthday and the priest is molesting me.\ |
| 127 | And [[{{Dissimile}} the priest is my dad and he's not a priest.]]\ |
| 128 | ...\ |
| 129 | My dad molested me... a lot. |
| 130 | :: You might know this sketch from [[WebVideo/AMVHell AMV Hell]] 4. |
| 131 | * ''Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey'' did this quite often. |
| 132 | -->Some people think clowns are funny, but I think they're scary. I think it goes back to the time when I went to the circus and a clown killed my dad. |
| 133 | * One of the observations of Yakov Smirnoff about the things you can buy at an American grocery store, a bit more literally following the trope than usual: |
| 134 | -->"Powdered milk, powdered eggs, baby powder... what a country!" |
| 135 | * Creator/RobinWilliams once made a joke about Prince Albert. |
| 136 | -->"Victoria, I'm dying. I want you to name a museum, a performance hall, and a bolt through the cock after me." |
| 137 | [[/folder]] |
| 138 | |
| 139 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 140 | * A zombie in ''ComicBook/{{Incandescence}}'' orders “...Bacon... toast... orange juice... Huevos Rancheros... and BRAINS! Brains! BRAINS!” |
| 141 | * From the 6th issue of the comic adaptation of ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing'', quoth a demon kid's mom: "Your ten minutes of unstructured playtime are up! Time for ballet, then swimming, then disembowelment of the damned, then piano lessons!" |
| 142 | * The cover for the issue where [[Characters/SupermanLoisLane Lois Lane]] married {{Characters/Superman|TheCharacter}} (original [[http://www.superdickery.com/a-whole-issue-of-lois-gets-married/ here]]): |
| 143 | -->She weds him in his Clark Kent identity! She adopts a secret identity of her own! She even makes a deal with the '''''DEVIL'''''! |
| 144 | * The things ''ComicBook/RichardDragon'' associates with rejoining civilization are presented in this manner: |
| 145 | -->''I'm so glad I rejoined civilization. Drive-trough windows, cell phones, false arrests.'' |
| 146 | * ''ComicBook/TheSandman1989'': The narration when the chairman of the [[CriminalConvention "Cereal" Convention]] is psyching himself up for a speech. "You're the chairman of the convention committee. You're a successful orthodontist. You have a shack out in Vermont that no one knows about, with four full chest freezers..." |
| 147 | * ''ComicBook/ScottPilgrim'': Ramona listing off all the teas in her pantry in the first book. [[labelnote:*]]Incidentally, according to WordOfGod, these are ''all'' real teas.[[/labelnote]] |
| 148 | -->...Green Tea, Green Tea with lemon, Green Tea with Honey and Lemon, Liver Disaster, Ginger with honey... |
| 149 | * Inverted in the first issue of ''{{ComicBook/Squee}}''. Pepito (the Antichrist) goes into a long speech about evil and damnation when asked to introduce himself to Squee's class and abruptly drops, "My dog's name is Woofles" before continuing with his monologue. |
| 150 | * Ads for the ComicBook/DCRebirth run of ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' state "The girl of steel takes on [[WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld high school]], driver's ed and [[ArchnemesisDad her evil cyborg zombie dad bent on world conquest]]!" |
| 151 | * Tarn of ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye'', head of the Decepticon Justice Division ([[TheDreaded a pack of Decepticon enforcers that other Decepticons are terrified of]]), is described as [[WickedCultured a music lover, classical scholar, and mass murderer]]. |
| 152 | * ''ComicBook/{{Transmetropolitan}}'': It says something about the future setting when one can go into a fancy restaurant and not immediately get kicked out or worse for ordering the following: |
| 153 | --> ''I'll have another bottle of Chilean merlot, the raspberry pavlova, ten minutes of oral sex and an ambulance, please.'' |
| 154 | * ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers'': Before [[ComicBook/AvengersTheChildrensCrusade running off to Latveria alone]] in the middle of the night, Billy Kaplan made sure to leave Teddy Altman a note: |
| 155 | -->''You are without a doubt the best boyfriend in the entire world. You're kind. You're generous. You threaten to maim people for me.'' |
| 156 | [[/folder]] |
| 157 | |
| 158 | [[folder:Comic Strips]] |
| 159 | * From the original Charles Addams ''ComicStrip/TheAddamsFamily'' comics, was a wardrobe filled with suit bags, each labeled as being another portion of Uncle Nick Nack's wardrobe. The last one (which bulged suggestively)? "Uncle Nick Nack". This joke was used in [[Film/TheAddamsFamily the film]]. |
| 160 | * One ''ComicStrip/BabyBlues'' [[http://babyblues.com/comics/march-17-2018/ strip]] has a babysitter hired by Daryl and Wanda who packed her babysitting gear: games, cards, snacks, art supplies, and a taser. |
| 161 | * In ''ComicStrip/{{Candorville}}'', Lemont is trying to sue for custody of his son from his evil ex-girlfriend, who has the advantages of being the kid's mother, white, and very wealthy (and possibly [[spoiler: a vampire who wants to be a daywalker]]). When Lemont asks why she hasn't been served yet, [[http://candorville.com/2010/03/01/getting-served-part-1/ he gets this in response.]] |
| 162 | ** [[http://candorville.com/2011/07/13/it-is-not-linear-3/ It seems to be]] a RunningGag. |
| 163 | * In ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'': [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/2022/04/10 The April 10, 2022 strip]] has Garfield and Odie enjoy the sights that emerge for the first time in springtime: green grass, flowers, a robin... before they jump in fright to seeing Jon wearing shorts. |
| 164 | -->'''Garfield''': And the first snow-white legs of spring. |
| 165 | * In a ''Meaning of Lila'' strip [[spoiler: Drew lost her baby in a car accident a few days earlier, which was apparently caused by her texting to Lila while driving]]. |
| 166 | * From ''ComicStrip/RealLifeAdventures'', two guys meet up in a snowfall. One brings up [[HorsemenOfTheApocalypse The Fifth Horseperson of the Apocalypse]]: "Yeah, there's pestilence, famine, war, death, and your ex-wife." |

| 168 | -->'''Orson:''' That's okay. I could use a change of scenery anyway. I'll be able to go to bed when I want to and get up when I want to... and starve to death when I want to! |
| 169 | [[/folder]] |
| 170 | |
| 171 | [[folder:Film — Animation]] |
| 172 | * At the end of ''WesternAnimation/{{Antz}}'', Zee describes the events of the movie as an average "boy meets girl, boy likes girl, ''boy changes underlying social order'' story." |
| 173 | * In ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'', The Beast asks Cogsworth for advice on what to give Belle. Cogsworth replies "Flowers, chocolates... promises you don't intend to keep..." Doubly awesome considering that Creator/DavidOgdenStiers, Cogsworth's voice actor, adlibbed this end to the line just to be funny. Expecting to get a laugh and then re-record it, the director loved it and [[ThrowItIn kept it in]]. |
| 174 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Coco}}'': The things Héctor borrowed from Chicharrón include his van, lasso, good napkins, mini-fridge, and ''femur''. |
| 175 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective'' shows Fidget's list of things to get for the plan: "Tools. Gears. Girl. Uniforms." |
| 176 | * ''WesternAnimation/IceAge1'': "Isn't there someone else you can annoy? Friends? Family? Poisonous reptiles?" |
| 177 | * In ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda2'', after Po's father reveals that he found him in a basket outside his shop one day, Po needs to know a few things: |
| 178 | -->"I just have so many questions. Like how did I ever fit in this tiny basket? Why didn't I like pants? And who am I?" |
| 179 | * From ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'', when Emmet is incredulous to find out that President Business is actually an EvilOverlord plotting to bring about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. |
| 180 | -->'''Emmett:''' But he's such a good guy! And Octan... they make good stuff: music, dairy products, coffee, TV shows, surveillance systems, all history books, voting machines... [[ExplainExplainOhCrap wait a minute.]] |
| 181 | * In ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch2StitchHasAGlitch'', Lilo describes the story of the Hawaiian goddess Hi'iaka as a story about friendship, jealousy, and death by molten lava. |
| 182 | * ''WesternAnimation/Madagascar1'': King Julien complains about the fossa. |
| 183 | -->'''King Julien:''' The fossa. They're always annoying us by trespassing, interrupting our parties, and ripping our limbs off. |
| 184 | ** There’s also the beginning of the movie when you see photos taken by visitors of the zoo. They consist of Alex posing, Marty running, Gloria swimming, and Melman receiving medical attention. |
| 185 | * Done by Max in ''WesternAnimation/MaryAndMax''. |
| 186 | -->'''Max:''' Do you have a pet kangaroo? When I was born, my father left my mother and me on a kibbutz. She shot herself with my uncle's gun when I was 6. Do you like chocolate hot dogs? |
| 187 | * Ralph from ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'', while searching for a medal in a lost-and-found box, instead finds a [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Super mushroom]], a ! from ''VideoGame/MetalGear'', and [[Franchise/StreetFighter Zangief's]] wrestling trunks. |

| 191 | * In one of the ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' "Space-Time Telegraph" spoof news columns, it was reported that World Distributors would be releasing a ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' Annual (a parody of World's ''Series/DoctorWho'' annuals of the seventies; aimed at very young kids, and apparently written by people who'd once had the series described to them). Amongst the features listed were "Where's Owen?"; "Gwen's Spacey Space Quiz"; and "Jack and Ianto's Stopwatch Game". |
| 192 | * In the March 2001 issue of ''Magazine/GameInformer'' (#95), Andrew Reiner wrote in the [[https://web.archive.org/web/20090719114918/http://gameinformer.com/Games/Review/200103/R03.0805.1413.03922.htm Second Opinion review]] of the Dreamcast version of ''Wrestling/{{ECW}} Anarchy Rulz'': "NoteToSelf: Eat dinner, call my parents, then assassinate the development team responsible for this wrestling disaster." |

| 215 | * ''Podcast/BehindTheBastards'': Robert describes the ice fortress constructed during the 2013 protests in Kyiv's Independence Square. |
| 216 | --> '''Robert''': This fortress had the resources of a small city, including communal kitchens, restrooms, media areas, a library, medical tents, and catapults. |
| 217 | * The ''Creator/RoosterTeeth Drunk Tank Podcast'' has an episode with this trope almost exactly: "It's like: bread, milk, beer, diseases." |
| 218 | * ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale'' in general uses this trope a lot. In the live episode "The Debate", the Faceless Old Woman has this to say about selling off unused items from homes to raise money for community schools: |
| 219 | --> '''Faceless Old Woman:''' Cecil! You have a set of collectible jadeite bowls you never use. I would be happy to sell them on eBay for you. Hiram, you live in a cave that I do not like, but you have a collection of rare jewels and coins and a mahogany chest that you keep locked and buried. Let's put those up for sale! Marcus, you have a coffee table made of human bones. |

| 222 | [[folder:Pro Wrestling]] |
| 223 | * From Wrestling/KurtAngle's promo on Wrestling/KevinNash on the October 18, 2007 ''[[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA Impact]]'': |

| 225 | * Wrestling/WOWWomenOfWrestling: [[Wrestling/KatarinaWaters The Temptress (Katarina Waters)]]' [[http://www.wowe.com/superheroes/temptress profile]] lists her "Likes" as [[BritsLoveTea "A nice, hot cup of tea"]], {{Revenge}}." |

| 227 | |
| 228 | [[folder:Radio]] |
| 229 | * ''Radio/LoZooDi105'': Often used among the jokes, but one instance stands out - namely, when cast member Herbert Ballerina came back from a trip to Thailand, another cast member, Petosauro, made a brief speech about Thailand only to be promptly interrupted by [[NoIndoorVoice Gibba.]] |
| 230 | -->'''Peto:''' Ah, Thailand. Glorious nation, home to sun, shores and...\ |
| 231 | ''[cue LettingTheAirOutOfTheBand]''\ |
| 232 | '''Gibba:''' [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_tourism AND WHORES!]] |
| 233 | * Andy Hamilton presented an extract from the minutes of a parish council meeting on the 7th November 2008 edition of ''Radio/TheNewsQuiz'', which can be seen in full [[http://www.occulomency.co.uk/2008/11/egregious.html here.]] The section as quoted on the show is as follows: |
| 234 | --> 1. Another parishioner wished to know if the problems with the telephone directories have been solved yet. 2. Mr Neale said a parishioner had drawn his attention to overhanging foliage on the pavement on Main Street between Wellow Road junction and the Old School. Clerk to contact Highways Dept. 3. The missile launcher parked on Kirklington Road has caused comments from a number of parishioners. Clerk to contact Highways Dept. |

| 239 | [[/folder]] |
| 240 | |
| 241 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 242 | * In ''TabletopGame/ChuubosMarvelousWishGrantingEngine'', the Ogre Sensei is passionate about literature, poetry, maths, and the right of her tribe to continue eating people. |
| 243 | * The "Lords of Madness" sourcebook for ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' 3.5 has a list of a beholder's favourite foods, including small mammals, interesting fungi, birds, and ''gnomes''. They are monsters, after all! |
| 244 | * ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'': The flavor text of [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=189882 Enormous Baloth]]; with the squick outnumbering the bread, eggs and milk. |
| 245 | -->''Its diet consists of fruits, plants, small woodland animals, large woodland animals, woodlands, fruit groves, fruit farmers, and small cities.'' |
| 246 | ** Also in the flavor of [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=368997 Boros Cluestone]]: |
| 247 | -->''In case of fire, treachery, citywide riot, political upheaval, or worldwide societal collapse, break glass.'' |
| 248 | ** As well in the flavor text of [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=270375 Treasured Find]]: |

| 250 | [[/folder]] |
| 251 | |
| 252 | [[folder:Theatre]] |
| 253 | * Creator/CreationTheatre's production of ''Literature/{{Aladdin}}'' included the Sorceror listing off the thousands of topics books he read had covered. These included theology, astrology, geology, herbology, archeology, misogyny[[note]]pronounced [[AcCENTUponTheWrongSylLABle miss-OH-jin-ee with a short O, to fit the rest]][[/note]], paleontology, wait what was that? |
| 254 | * This exchange from ''[[Theatre/AnneOfGreenGables Anne of Green Gables: The Musical]]'': |
| 255 | -->'''Tillie, Tommy and Gertie:''' We found a gorgeous seashell.\ |
| 256 | '''Ruby and Moody:''' We found some lic'rice root.\ |
| 257 | '''Charlie:''' I found the hired girl swimming in her birthday suit. |
| 258 | * Frequently found in ''Theatre/{{Cabaret}}''. For example "If You Could See Her", what starts out as a novelty act about a man dating an ape, and defending his sweetheart. And it ends, [[spoiler: "If you could see her through my eyes... / ''She wouldn't look Jewish at all!''"]] |
| 259 | * From ''Theatre/{{Hair}}'': "''Sodomy... fellatio... cunnilingus... [[{{Squick}} pederasty]]...''" The song is intended to be more "squick, squick, squick and squick"; the next line ends "why do these words sound so nasty". |
| 260 | * ''Music/JesusChristSuperstar'' has one in "The Arrest": |
| 261 | -->'''Crowds:''' Come with us to see Caiaphas!\ |
| 262 | You'll just love the high priest's house!\ |
| 263 | You'll just love seeing Caiaphas!\ |
| 264 | You'll just die in the high priest's house! |
| 265 | ** Also, arguably, the way the last line of the chorus changes during ''Hosanna'': |
| 266 | -->Hey JC, JC, won't you smile at me?\ |
| 267 | ...\ |
| 268 | Hey JC, JC, you're all right by me.\ |
| 269 | ...\ |
| 270 | Hey JC, JC, won't you fight for me?\ |
| 271 | ...\ |
| 272 | Hey JC, JC, won't you die for me? |
| 273 | * In ''Theatre/{{Oliver}}'' the song "I'd Do Anything" starts out with cute lines about the things the boys would do, like "Would you climb a hill? (Anything!)/ Wear a daffodil? (Anything!)" etc. Then in the third verse: |
| 274 | -->"Would you rob a shop?"\ |
| 275 | "Would you risk the drop?"\ |
| 276 | "Though your eyes go pop"\ |
| 277 | "When you come down, plop!" |
| 278 | * "By the Sea" from ''Theatre/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet'' is a cheerful song where Mrs. Lovett describes, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin living by the sea]] to a rather uninterested Sweeney. Even ''if'' you manage to forget that she intends to finance all of this by [[ImAHumanitarian baking people into pies]], the Squick is invited right back to the party near the end when she says "And every now and then, you can do the guest in." |
| 279 | * Not as squicky to the original audience, but in ''Theatre/TwelfthNight'' Sir Andrew says: "I would I had bestowed that time in the tongues that I have in fencing, dancing and bear-baiting: O, had I but followed the arts!", making this OlderThanSteam. |
| 280 | * In ''Theatre/YoungFrankenstein'', Frederick is going through the library and is surprised to find his grandfather doesn't have his medical books there, but instead things like "''Literature/BlackBeauty'', ''Literature/{{Heidi}}'', and the Literature/KamaSutra." |
| 281 | [[/folder]] |
| 282 | |
| 283 | [[folder:Toys]] |
| 284 | * From one of the ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}'' serials: |
| 285 | -->'''Vezon:''' Quite a collection. I prefer sea-shells, myself. Sometimes leaves. Oh, and the heads of my enemies, though those take up so much space. |
| 286 | * A receipt from Toys R Us. |
| 287 | -->''Save all receipts. Staten Island, NY. Watch out for pedofiles (sic). A dated receipt is required for all returns and exchanges.'' |

| 289 | |
| 290 | [[folder:Visual Novels]] |
| 291 | * During the second case of ''VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigations'' while examining some crates in the plane's cargo hold: |
| 292 | -->'''Gumshoe:''' This one says "FLAMMABLE", and this one... it says "PHARMACEUTICALS"...\ |
| 293 | '''Edgeworth:''' ...This one says "FOR EXORCISM USE ONLY"...\ |
| 294 | '''Edgeworth:''' (Just what kind of operation is this airline running!?) |
| 295 | %% Which translation? * In ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'', the Monokuma Flower eats "garbage and plastic and human flesh". |
| 296 | * In the later chapters of ''VisualNovel/DaughterForDessert'', Mortelli is having a conversation with the protagonist when he suddenly says something along the lines of, “I’m gonna miss this place.” |
| 297 | * ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'': |
| 298 | ** "{{Blah blah|Blah}} Command Seal Blah blah Caster blah blah magic blah blah and then I took all his clothes off." Thanks Shirou for your lovely [[InsaneTrollLogic demonstration]] of how to subtly check for Command Seals without raising suspicions. Tohsaka just stops and stares at him. |
| 299 | ** A bit of a meta example, but go to the Visual Novel Database and read the character entry for ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' with spoilers off. |
| 300 | -->Sakura Matou: Engages in: Cleaning, Cooking, [[spoiler:Fighting, Manslaughter]].\ |
| 301 | Shirou Emiya: Engages in: Archery, Cleaning, Cooking, Fighting, Planning, Sexual Fantasy, Swordsmanship |
| 302 | * Played for laughs at one point in ''VisualNovel/TheShell.'' The notebook used for the game is an actual notebook kept by Reiji with a fairly professional attitude and style to it. However, under Yaginuma's character info there's a quiet little '[[{{Jerkass}} Still an asshole]]' there. |
| 303 | * As part of [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Riko's]] introduction in ''VisualNovel/AProfile'', we see a conversation between her and her stepson devolve from a bit of straightforward relationship advice regarding him and his stepsister to her suggestion that he be careful not to get her pregnant. Do note that there's nothing like that between them. Well, yet. |
| 304 | [[/folder]] |
| 305 | |
| 306 | [[folder:Web Animation]] |
| 307 | * ''WebAnimation/TheAmazingDigitalCircus'': "[[Recap/TheAmazingDigitalCircusE2CandyCarrierChaos Candy Carrier Chaos!]]": When the gang starts driving towards the bandits, Jax says that when "[they] catch up to 'em, [he]'ll jump over, crawl inside, and shoot 'em repeatedly until they're unrecognizable." |
| 308 | -->'''Gangle:''' I feel like that violates some kind of convention.\ |
| 309 | '''Jax:''' You're violating my ears with your clap-back. Get driving, driver! |
| 310 | * ''WebAnimation/DingoDoodles'': After Sips recovers from his near-death trance, he retreats to a nearby room. The DM proceeds to describe in detail what each of his senses them him as he stands there: How beautiful everything is, the wonderful sound of birds in the distance, the smell of exquisite perfume, the wonderful carpet beneath his feet... and the taste of blood from having eaten Bouclaire's heart while in his trance. |
| 311 | * ''WebAnimation/FatherTucker'': The last lines of the theme song follow this pattern. |
| 312 | -->A faith in God\ |
| 313 | A friendly smile\ |
| 314 | He'll warm your heart\ |
| 315 | And rape your child! |
| 316 | * In the Creator/FilmCow short ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNZzJELbFRI Ferrets]],'' to cheer up his friend, a ferret sings a happy ListSong about all the things that make him happy. It includes apple pie, breezy meadows, the sound of rain, guitars, Holocaust denial, eugenics, sexual molestation, and murder. |
| 317 | * In ''WebAnimation/TheGentlemanPirate'' the inexperienced Stede Bonnet asks the quartermaster what the pirates do in their spare time when told the voyage would take weeks. |
| 318 | -->'''Quartermaster:''' Oh, there's plenty to do. Sing shanties, tie knots, get scurvy... |
| 319 | * ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'': |
| 320 | ** In the WebAnimation/StrongBadEmail "for kids", after demonstrating how being a kids' show host would lead to him [[RageBreakingPoint breaking down and flipping out]], Strong Bad says "So, you can see how that might be less than pleasant. What with all the letter writing and the angry mothers and the subsequent stringing me up in town square for all to see." |
| 321 | ** In "candy product", the ingredients of SBLOUNSKCHED! include marshmallow, licorice, nougat, and "rich, creamy... pepperoni". |
| 322 | ** Homestar, back during an [[RetroactiveLegacy "early"]] [[ShowWithinAShow hremail]], remarked that Melonade was not only his favorite drink, but he was contractually unable to drink, talk about, or ''bathe in'' any other liquid. |
| 323 | ** In "yes, wrestling", Strong Bad claims that professional wrestling is less about awesome moves and more about "awesome costumes, gimmicks, and dinosaur-tranquilizer-fueled ranting and raving!" |
| 324 | ** In "specially marked", Strong Bad says that the best cereal box prizes are found in cereals named after sound effects, like "Smacks, pops, puffs, blasts, and... um, gunshots in a crowded mall." |
| 325 | ** In "imaginary", Strong Bad remarks that kids with imaginary friends have a tendency to give them weird, vaguely-unsettling names like "Rubby Plop-Plop, Sir Zabblepants, Dingy Donger, [and] Real Live Actual Mr. Blangcaster Next Door." |
| 326 | ** "I Killed Pom Pom" opens with Homestar musing to Pom Pom all the things he loves about Halloween: "Hot tricks, cool treats, good friends, and MURDER!" |
| 327 | ** In "The Homestar Runner Enters the Spooky Woods", The Homestar Runner's three biggest fears are apparently an illustration of the Golgi apparatus from his school life science textbook, "frilly toothpicks", and... a flock of "wet pigeons" entangled in a dead raccoon's rotting carcass. |
| 328 | * ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'' the first time the Emperor rants about religion in the series: |
| 329 | --> This is why I specifically said when designing the Imperial truth that equality, science, and [[GalacticConqueror galaxy conquest]] is the way to go and religion needs to go out the window. |
| 330 | * Episode 1 of ''WebAnimation/LlamasWithHats'' has Paul discovering a dead body in his house: |
| 331 | -->'''Paul:''' Tell me, Carl, ''exactly'' what you were doing before I got home!\ |
| 332 | '''Carl:''' Alright, well...I--I was upstairs...\ |
| 333 | '''Paul:''' Okay.\ |
| 334 | '''Carl:''' I was, uh, I was sitting in my room...\ |
| 335 | '''Paul:''' Yes?\ |
| 336 | '''Carl:''' Reading a book...\ |
| 337 | '''Paul:''' Go on.\ |
| 338 | '''Carl:''' And, uh, well, this guy walked in...\ |
| 339 | '''Paul:''' Okay...\ |
| 340 | '''Carl:''' So I went up to him...\ |
| 341 | '''Paul:''' Yes?\ |
| 342 | '''Carl:''' And I, uh, I stabbed him 37 times in the chest. |
| 343 | * ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'': |
| 344 | ** Pick anything Sister says. Anything at all. It's not ''her'' catchphrase, but incidence of "Yeah... wait, what?" in the show is 99% her fault. |
| 345 | ** Donut makes a damn ''profession'' out of doing this with gay euphemisms, to various degrees of not being subtle at all. |
| 346 | ** When speculating on what the contents of the ship [[spoiler: that brought Sister]], Church assumes its a weapon and then runs through a list of potential effects ... ending in ''turning blue soldiers sterile''. [[spoiler: Given that the ship dropped off Sister, that last one is the most likely]]. When the ship turned out to have brought a person, Church runs through a list of special agent specialties ... ending with "ball kicking". Which may or may not be one of Tex's. |
| 347 | *** Considering [[GroinAttack what she did to Grif]], multiple times, during her "[[CurbStompBattle fight]]" with the Reds and Tucker, that's probably not too far off. |
| 348 | * ''WebAnimation/SpriggsAHalo3Machinima'' had this gem in episode 2: |
| 349 | -->'''Willy:''' Oh, thank you, my dear Spriggs. Thank you for your simple focus in the age of the spectacular. Thank you for keeping it real with your witty insights and comical insults, [[ItMakesSenseInContext and thank you for not asking me to take your pants off in front of your former girlfriend.]] |
| 350 | * The YouTubePoop fad [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants "I am now going to assault your mind with subliminal messages"]] is built from this trope. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrnE-ACGtfs Here's an example.]] (MILDLY NSFW) |
| 351 | * ''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation'': |
| 352 | -->'''Yahtzee:''' All games are about realizing a fantasy, whether it be the fantasy of being a courageous war hero, or the fantasy of being a future space adventurer, or, in the case of some Japanese games, the fantasy of possessing eight prehensile dicks. |
| 353 | ** He also describes ''VideoGame/{{Catherine}}'' as "a Japanese game centrally about the difficulties of relationships, such as unexpected pregnancy, the impetus of commitment, and being chased up a infinite staircase by a giant, monstrous girlfriend trying to eat you with her butt. Did I mention it's Japanese?" |
| 354 | ** Again in the "Remastered Editions" episode: |
| 355 | --->'''Yahtzee:''' Ah, spring is in the air; the daisies are in bloom; the mild April breeze is bringing the sweet smell of rotting flesh that emanates from the vacant lot full of disinterred corpses that the winter snows once mercifully preserved, which is as good an explanation as any for why so many fucking remasters have come out this month. |
| 356 | ** An entirely visual one that's easy to overlook if you're not paying attention: during his review of ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time 3D]]'' he describes how the original is supposedly one of the best games ever, with the game standing proudly on a winners podium. The #2 podium is occupied by ''[[VideoGame/{{Dizzy}} Fantasy World Dizzy]]''[[note]]it's a RunningGag that Yahtzee constantly considers that game one of the greatest ever made[[/note]] which is harmless enough, but the #3 podium is occupied by ''[=RapeLay=]'', an infamous Japanese {{Eroge}} that is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin exactly as horrible as its name implies]]. |
| 357 | ** In his review of ''House Flipper'' and ''Far: Lone Sails'', he describes the synopsis of the former: |
| 358 | --->'''Yahtzee:''' So you play a sort of mercenary handyman and at first, to get to grips, you're given some contract jobs where someone just wants you to come into their house and clean, repaint, buy specific furniture, and/or shank the missus. ''[cue the Yahtzee avatar banging the female imp]'' |
| 359 | *** And in the case of the latter, "...maybe the attempt at a thoughtful, understated tone doesn't match the inherent concept of piloting a fuck-off giant roadster that wouldn't have looked too out of place with Film/MadMax hanging off the front, looking like he's undergoing a wasteland teeth-whitening procedure, the sort of thing I'd want to have push up to top speed and then ride on top of, going, |
| 360 | ---->''[[Film/MeetMeInStLouis Clang, clang, clang goes the trolleeeeeeey!]]''\ |
| 361 | ''[[Film/MeetMeInStLouis Ring, ring, ring goes the beeeeeell!]]''\ |
| 362 | ''[[CrossesTheLineTwice Crunch, crunch, crunch go the bones of the old people not getting out of the waaaaaaaay!]]''" |
| 363 | ** From the ''VideoGame/Persona5'' review: |
| 364 | -->'''Yahtzee''': Still, at least Japanese high schools always seem to have an impressive range of extracurricular activities available; there's the track team, the newspaper club, the guys who travel to a magic netherworld after school to battle symbolic demons born from the dark desires of humanity, and— ooh, volleyball sounds fun. [[note]]Incidentally, for those who've played the game, the real Squick here is the volleyball, as the game's StarterVillain is the school's volleyball coach, a monstrously sadistic sexual predator.[[/note]] |
| 365 | ** Similarly, on ''VideoGame/Persona4'': |
| 366 | --->'''Yahtzee''': The ''P4G'' intro is breezy and colourful and kicks things off with just the right setting of tone. Here's some happy music, some dancing anime kids, several corpses strung up from telegraph poles, and oh look! Now everyone's riding scooters! WHAT FUN! |
| 367 | [[/folder]] |
| 368 | |
| 369 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 370 | * ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'': Ranger in [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2009/02/03/episode-1090-not-sunny-d/ this strip]], while checking on the contents of his fridge after being unexpectedly teleported home: |

| 373 | * ''Webcomic/TheAwakened'' gives us this exchange. Chase, the ButtMonkey protagonist, starts off talking to his therapist about how his various issues may have started in kindergarten when a classmate refused to let him play with a toy dinosaur. |
| 374 | -->'''Therapist:''' That doesn't sound very traumatic, Chase.\ |
| 375 | '''Chase:''' Well, when I asked to play with it, he said no in a really mean voice. Then he stabbed me in the face with a concealed switchblade, and after that repeatedly pummelled me with the dinosaur until I finally passed out from blood loss, at which point I think he might have raped me in the ass with its tail.\ |
| 376 | '''Therapist:''' Oh. |

| 382 | * In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Ellen [[https://www.egscomics.com/?date=2011-09-09 gives]] Tedd some advice to avoid burnout: |
| 383 | -->'''Ellen:''' You just need to broaden your areas of study to include other things and spending time with your friends. "Does that new movie suck? Will my friends like it? What have they been up to? How are they feeling? How quickly can I undo my girlfriend's bra?"\ |
| 384 | '''Tedd:''' I ''do'' own a stopwatch... |
| 385 | * In the ''[[http://www.flyingmanandfriends.com Flying Man and Friends]]'' strip, "Burgertime Sunday," Flying Man attempts to make hamburgers, only to run out of meat. Mr. Stinky returns, using his own body as the meat, with a bun and condiments laid atop it. |

| 389 | -->'''Bobby:''' One day I saw a pigeon fall from a tree, its body twisted and broken after an attack from somewhere above. It writhed on the floor in silence and eventually died. It had no expression, just as I have [[TheBlank no expression]]. I have never relayed this story to anyone.\ |
| 390 | '''TheRant:''' They asked Bobby to put together a fact sheet for the kids. They didn't ask him again after. |
| 391 | * ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': |
| 392 | ** The album ''coloUrs and mayhem: Universe B'' features [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/squiddle-song-2 The Squiddle Song]]: "Wake up in the morning, there's a brand new day ahead/ The sun is bright and the clouds smile down and all your friends are dead ..." |

| 574 | ** Later, while playing ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'', he goes through a list of things found in that game that he never expected to find in any ''Sonic'' game: |
| 575 | --->'''AVGN:''' Telekinesis, time travel, treasure hunting, [[NonMammalMammaries bat tits]] ''[quick cut to a close-up of Rouge's cleavage]'', [[InterspeciesRomance human princess and hedgehog romance]]... |
| 576 | * Alex from ''WebVideo/TheAwkwardCompilation'' while filming his housemate/crush Lester under the pretext of a student film: "Teacher said, uh, make variety with camera angles. Like I wanna make a high shot, y'know, low shot... cumshot..." |
| 577 | * A number of songs from ''Music/BadLipReading'' feature this in places. |
| 578 | ** From "(Rockin') All Nite Long": |
| 579 | --->'''Music/WizKhalifa:''' Bring me potatoes. And meat. And greens. And weed. |
| 580 | ** In "Herman Cain": |
| 581 | --->'''Herman Cain:''' All you can do is give that woodchuck a tuna melt, or romantic shoes, or a metal skull crusher. |
| 582 | * Mocked by WebVideo/ChrisRayGun: |
| 583 | --> ''You know what's a really good idea? Putting "crass jokes" and "innuendos" next to "rape" and "murder" on a list of similar things. That's just...oh, makes you sound brilliant. You know, my to-do-list for tomorrow actually follows a very similar structure. You know, I gotta get some milk and eggs, gotta call my internet provider, gotta pay my phone bill, I gotta break into a nursery and set all the minority newborns ablaze, and to top it all off, I got to fill up my car! All equally mundane things to do.'' |
| 584 | * ''WebVideo/ClimateTown'': A photo of a mushroom cloud with the words The Nuclear Arms Race on it falls out of a collage of '80s things like rubix cubes and walkmans while Rollie says the 1980s were the decade we did everything right in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6R_WTDdx7I Fast Fashion Is Hot Garbage]]". |
| 585 | * In a non-vulgar example of this trope, [=CombuskenIsAwesome=]'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_Zf69reLf8 "244- DETECTlVE PlKACHU SPOlLERS"]] is a YouTubePoop [[ShapedLikeItself synopsis of the spoilers in]] ''Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu'' (from the perspective of someone that hasn't actually seen the film). While the first few "spoilers" are CaptainObvious statements like "It's Pikachu!", the video then lists ''actual'' spoilers, particularly [[spoiler:Pikachu [[LukeIAmYourFather being Tim's father]], and Mewtwo's ability to [[FusionDance fuse humans with Pokemon]]]]. |
| 586 | * ''WebVideo/DeathNoteTheAbridgedSeriesKpts4tv'' has "Bed Bath and [[SerialKiller Beyond Birthday]]!" |
| 587 | * Done quite literally in Creator/TeamFourStar's ''WebVideo/DragonballZAbridged'', when he finds out Gohan and Krillin are from the planet Earth. |
| 588 | -->'''Frieza:''' Oh good. I'll stop by there on the way home. Pick up some space eggs, some space milk, and BLOW IT THE F**K UP! |
| 589 | * ''WebVideo/DrGlaucomflecken'': The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9tfj2mi0LA three things]] the Emergency Medicine Physician always carries with him are granola bars, ketamine, and overwhelming dread that he missed a potentially fatal diagnosis. |
| 590 | * The song Brand New Day from ''WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog''. "It's a brand new day, yeah the sun is high, all the birds are singing that ''you're gonna die''." |
| 591 | * In this WebVideo/EpicMealTime [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXjxHQQxcLw video]]. |
| 592 | -->"SUSHI! FAST FOOD! SEX!" |
| 593 | %% * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNZzJELbFRI The Ferrets song]] is a perfect example. |
| 594 | * WebVideo/FilthyFrank: Frank thinks he's most like a cat due to reasons like hating water...and being neutered at a young age. |
| 595 | * ''WebVideo/FriendshipIsWitchcraft'': |
| 596 | ** The song "Pinkie's Brew" is probably one of the more literal examples, as it's about ''baking'' a time spell. It features such ingredients as figs, butter, cinnamon, EyeOfNewt and seapony tears. |
| 597 | ---> ''Bread and butter, chant and mutter,\ |
| 598 | Marination, incantation,\ |
| 599 | Chocolate icing, time-line splicing,\ |
| 600 | Yeast is rising, rectifying...'' |
| 601 | ** Applejack gives Princess Molestia the following advise on how to increase her sex appeal: |
| 602 | --->'''Applejack:''' Take a shower! Wear deodorant. Breathe through your nose. Throw some spiders!\ |
| 603 | '''Molestia:''' I feel like that stopped making sense... |
| 604 | ** Pretty much every verse of Episode 8's "It'll Be Okay", a song that establishes [[VillainProtagonist Twilight]]'s MoralEventHorizon. |
| 605 | --->''Soon we did everything together\ |
| 606 | He taught me how to fly a kite\ |
| 607 | I watched him grow into a stallion\ |
| 608 | I watched him sleep in bed at night\ |
| 609 | It's not creepy. |
| 610 | * Many ''WebVideo/GeminiHomeEntertainment'' videos begin with a number of more mundane topics before introducing the twist, accompanied by a sudden stop in the music. |
| 611 | ** In "World's Weirdest Animals", rural Minnesota is home to the Greater Prairie Chicken (found in Wilkin County), the Burrowing Owl (in Clay County) and [[spoiler:[[EldritchAbomination Woodcrawlers]] (found ''everywhere'')]]. |
| 612 | ** "Wilderness Survival Guide" does it twice, the more striking of which is "Sounds to Avoid": Coyote howls, Cougar screams and [[spoiler:''auditory hallucination'' (a man screaming desperately for help, later revealed to be a "fake human")]]. |
| 613 | ** "Games for Kids" gives the rules for games that can be played by groups of kids. Examples shown include Hide and Go Seek, Freeze Tag, Sardines and [[spoiler:'''FEED THE WOODS''']]. |
| 614 | * The ''Green Team''[[http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/fa1420df1f/green-team-from-will-ferrell-adam-ghost-panther-mckay-and-john-c-reilly]] sketch with from Will Ferrell, Adam [=McKay=], and John C Reilly has a few, e.g. "Biodegradable napkins, batteries, and glass dildos." |
| 615 | * The narration by Andy George of the youtube channel ''How to make everything'' can occasionally dip into creepy territory, as apparent from his laconic description of a newly made [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3r8eGPJlfsI iron viking axe]]. |
| 616 | --> '''Andy:''' We can use this pretty much for anything. Chop our food, chop our firewood, chop our enemies... basically all of it. |
| 617 | * WebVideo/InternetHistorian: |
| 618 | -->"Promoting desserts, are we? Brad's wife used to love desserts! New item on the menu? Brad's wife would've made it twice as good! Today we remember 9/11? Brad's wife used to love 9-" |
| 619 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_t1i0Uo1WU A Killer Song!]] |
| 620 | --> ''Let's see now. If I throw in a little bit of sugar, some flour, two eggs... that should do it. Oh my goodness! I almost forgot my secret ingredient: Cyanide!'' |
| 621 | * [[http://lparchive.org/Baldurs-Gate-2-and-Throne-of-Bhaal/Update%201/ This]] LetsPlay of ''VideoGame/BaldursGateII'' describes the source of the protagonist's name with "If you really want to understand the joke in his name, have 2 and a half hours to kill, and don't mind developing cancer..." |
| 622 | * [[LetsPlay Madamluna]] incorporated one of these into her gag story of how she and LetsPlay/DeceasedCrab met. |
| 623 | --> ''"But soon, with a song and a dance and a demonstration of technology that could vaporize a bear at three hundred yards, he scuttled his way into my heart."'' |
| 624 | * ''WebVideo/MahouProfileAHistoryOfMagicalGirls'': In the ''Manga/HimitsuNoAkkoChan'' episode, [=ErynCerise=] lists the things that come to mind when someone says "mMagicalGirl": |
| 625 | -->-- Wands, [[FrillsOfJustice frilly outfits]], lockets, ribbons, animal sidekicks, rainbow laser beams, creepy sexual undertones... |
| 626 | * WebVideo/MatthewSantoro: |
| 627 | ** Zig-zagged in ''[[YourMom Yo Mama]]''. Matt talks about what childhood was like for most people, saying "Some kid would make fun of [[YourMom your mom]], and then you'd cry, and then you'd end up punching said kid in the face, and then you grew up with violent tendencies which caused you to lose every job you've ever had because you keep punching your bosses in the face, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and then you'd use all your newly-found free time to make videos on the internet]]!" |
| 628 | ** In ''Franchise/StarWars in 3-D!!!'', Matt mentions 4 movie-viewing options: Blockbuster, Netflix, [=iTunes=], and pirating movies for free. |
| 629 | ** In ''Friday the 13th ft. Eugene'', Eugene says that he has a ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' collection, his mother is his favorite person in the world, and he has irregular bowel movements. |
| 630 | ** In ''Winter is WICKED!'', Matt mentions the good things about being near a warm fire: watching the flames flicker, hearing the wood crackling, and smelling the smoke. [[spoiler: He then smells smoke, and discovers that Hugo just made a fire.]] |
| 631 | ** In ''40 Fascinating Facts about Money!'', Matt says that, according to studies, if you offer someone 10 million dollars (specifically that number), they will do almost anything: abandon their friends and family, change their sex, and even commit murder! |
| 632 | ** In ''28 Things I've Learned In 28 Years!'', Matt makes an announcement to the friends, subscribers, and {{troll}}s in his audience that it's his birthday. |
| 633 | * The various {{gag dub}}s churned out by ''WebVideo/MyWayEntertainment'' use this trope a lot. |
| 634 | * When Frankomatic of LetsPlay/ObscureGameTheatre tries hard not to lose [[spoiler:in the final confrontation that involves {{dancing|IsSeriousBusiness}}]] in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVSNr1LBBAk Brain Dead 13]]'': |
| 635 | -->'''Frankomatic:''' [[Music/VillagePeople Y! M! C! A!]] Splits... {{mooning}}... ''[Lance gets [[MadeOfPlasticine shot full of holes]] and [[CriticalExistenceFailure reduced to his eyeballs]]]'' ...failure! |
| 636 | * ''WebVideo/OutsideXbox'' pulls this regularly in their ''VideoGame/{{Hitman 2016}}'' playthroughs, since their versions of 47 do not have the priorities of a normal man. |
| 637 | -->'''Andy:''' (on a hotel) Five stars for cleanliness, five stars for location, five stars for people isolating themselves when I needed to murder them. That was particularly appreciated. |
| 638 | ** During one of their WebVideo/{{Oxventure}} ''TabletopGame/BladesInTheDark'' campaigns, Ellen's character is revealed to have [[spoiler:snakes for hair]] |
| 639 | -->'''Andy:''' I can see now why you didn't want to offer any hair for my wonderful mechanical man. Well, it's no big deal, everyone's got their different styles. Side-part, buzzcut, hair full of snakes. |
| 640 | * In one of Series/PicnicFace's videos, entitled "Near Death Experiences", the people being interviewed are describing how their mind flashed to field of flowers with a white horse that wanted them to ride it, etc., etc., until..."The horse raped me." |
| 641 | * Done in ''WebVideo/TheQuestForGeekdom''. The Eric Rosethorn Academy of Eloquent Supervillainy teaches class, ambition, and '''unbridled malice'''. |
| 642 | * In this WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}} of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFAy-Ajua8g this video]]. |
| 643 | -->'''LetsPlay/ChipCheezum:''' "Name: Christopher. What can I say about myself? Um, dot dot dot. I like Anime/YuGiOh, [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Pokémon]]...and vore. My dream *Ironicus' laughter* is that I'm in the next Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog game." |
| 644 | * Saberspark does this when describing the struggles Sharon Spitz from ''WesternAnimation/{{Braceface}}'' goes through as a teen, in his review of the episode "Busted". |
| 645 | -->'''Saber:''' Bullies, boyfriends, explosive titties. You know, the usual. |
| 646 | * Several instances in ''WebVideo/ScottTheWoz'': |
| 647 | ** From the episode "Get Rich Quick!": |
| 648 | --->'''Scott:''' Woah, "two truths and a lie"? Uhh, I'm white, I'm near sighted and I eat f**king dogs. |
| 649 | ** From the episode "''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee'' | The Best One, Apparently": |
| 650 | --->'''Scott:''' Man, look at all the features this thing touts on the back [of the box]! The characters, stages, secrets, trophies, epilepsy[[note]]referencing the standard flashing lights ContentWarning on the box of many games[[/note]]; this game has it all! |
| 651 | ** In the episode "Old Series, New Developer", Scott explains that he never got into the original ''VideoGame/SlyCooper'' trilogy when it first came out because he was too invested in stupid Nintendo games, kindergarten, and "totally not alcoholism." |
| 652 | * Sursum Ursa from ''WebVideo/StuffYouLike'' uses this in her short review of ''Film/RomanHoliday'': |
| 653 | -->'''Sursum Ursa:''' [Anne indulges in] comfy shoes, gelato, dancing with boys, [[ImportantHaircut a mischievous pixie haircut]], and casual violence! |
| 654 | * ''WebVideo/TargetWomen'': |
| 655 | -->"The next time words fail you in trying to describe your genitalia, just turn to the world of nature: my chia pet, my fern, my gentle alpaca, my sarlacc pit from ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''." |
| 656 | * ''[[Website/ChannelAwesome That Guy With the Glasses]]'': |
| 657 | ** Chester A. Bum of ''WebVideo/BumReviews'' does this quite a bit. A perfect example can be found with this line, from a Nostalgia Critic video where [[CrossOver the eponymous critic paid Chester]] to finish his review of ''[[Film/SesameStreetPresentsFollowThatBird Follow That Bird]]'': |
| 658 | --->'''Chester:''' ...and Cookie Monster ate his car because he thought it was a cookie! I once thought my car was a cookie! Only it wasn't a cookie. Or a car. It was MAN. |
| 659 | ** Humour of this type is also the bread and butter of ''[[WebVideo/AskThatGuyWithTheGlasses Ask That Guy]]'', where he frequently reveals disturbing facts about his personal life. |
| 660 | ** Less often, but WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick does this too. At one point, she was talking about bad Disney sequels and then ended up revealing that her uncle molested her. |
| 661 | ** Dominic of ''Video Game Confessions'', when interviewing Fox [=McButt=], stopped him after hearing him casually state that "humanies" (the reverse of "furries") like him "like to get together and play games, and talk to one another, make jokes, sodomize one another, and then usually go out and have a bit of dinner." |
| 662 | ** [=MikeJ=] also does this from time to time. |
| 663 | --->I think you all know what's coming next... A fried kitten. Aww. |
| 664 | ** WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic did this when he was begging ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryTheMovie'' not to subject him to another song. Taxes and shaving someone's back are boring and icky, respectively, but whoring himself out has got to be overkill. |
| 665 | ** From the crossover review of ''Film/ChildsPlay'', WebVideo/{{Phelous}} justifies the film as being a Christmas movie because "It's got snow, presents, decorations, murder, plenty Christmas-y!" |
| 666 | * The video "mom ordered ants for my birthday" by {{WebVideo/Treatsforbeasts}}, the mother says this to her son about the ants. |
| 667 | -->“Eat them, keep them, please them, tease them, freeze them, adhere them to my husband's prostate". |
| 668 | * The French web video series ''WebVideo/UnknownMovies'', which mixes movie reviews with a webseries-like storyline, has, in each episode, [[NoNameGiven the host of the show]] analyzing a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin fairly obscure movie]], often packed with unpleasant imagery and subject matters, then giving a bit of insight about its production history, some background on the people involved in it, then discussing the general themes and ideas behind it and giving his opinion on it... and then brutally murdering someone during the review. Apparently as means to crusade against the masses' awful taste. |
| 669 | * ''WebVideo/YouKnowWhatsBullshit'': In the iTunes episode, the Bullshit Man enumerates the following things iTunes does at start-up. |
| 670 | -->'''BS Man:''' Now, it bounces a few times, shows me a beach ball, and when it finally starts, it tells it's searching for Genius results, accessing the iTunes Store, updating playlist information, contacting Mars, raising shields, activating atomic soundwave booster, scanning for nuclear barracudas. |
| 671 | * A [=YouTube=] video titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_czzkqPjvS4 "Top Ten N Words".]] You click on it expecting a certain infamous racial slur only to get different words starting with N and arrives at number 1 with "nice". That is until... |
| 672 | -->"Honorable mention: NIG-" |
