3
4	A {{stock phrase\|s}} associated with department store elevators, which in RealLife often emit a prerecording that lists the "departments" of the current floor. (In the days of live elevator operators, it was typically the operator's job to do this.)
5
6	Typically the formula is two normal items and a plot relevant item, though this can be mixed up by having another mundane item after the plot-relevant item. The plot-relevant item is often jarringly discordant with the other mundane items: see BreadEggsMilkSquick.
7
8	If the department store's policy is "WeSellEverything" then the resulting LongList can sometimes become an OverlyLongGag.
9
10	Often TheElevatorFromIpanema. Might appear inside the elevators of a SapientShip.
11
12	Always included as part of an ElevatorGag. Also invoked as a PreAsskickingOneLiner for someone "dramatically" entering or ascending to a floor.

33	%%* Raven in ''ComicBook/TeenTitansGo'' %%Example needs context to make sense on its own.

37	%%* Used in the third part of the ''WebVideo/YuYuHakushoAbridged'' movie. "First floor: homicidal ex-partners". %%Example needs context to make sense on its own.
38	* In ''Fanfic/WithStringsAttached'', there's a scene where the four have been shrunk, but George manages to get himself back to normal height. When he picks up the others to put them on his head (he can't carry them in his pockets because he's naked), he says “Top floor, hair oil, wigs, dandruff.” The others are too agitated to laugh.
39	* In ''Fanfic/TheKeysStandAlone'' the four have to take an elevator up to see the Pyar gods. (ItMakesSenseInContext). The elevator has transparent doors and they can see the gigantic statues of the Pyars, so John starts to make silly announcements about them as they move past various bits, largely because they're all extremely nervous. Then Paul provides his own Muzak by humming “I've Just Seen A Face.”
40	* ''Fanfic/Plan7Of9FromOuterSpace''. The LongList of floors in the SupervillainLair includes Weapons of Mass Destruction, Weapons of Minor Inconvenience, a storage floor for cardboard boxes and a [[EveryoneHatesMimes Mime School]].

53	[[folder:Sixth Floor: '''Films -- Live-Action''', Sleds, Maguffins, Stars, Trailers]]
54	* For a brief gag in the Maysles film ''Music/TheBeatles: The First U.S. Visit'', while going up a hotel elevator, John Lennon snarks, "First floor, ladies' underwear. On your right, your can see the Eiffel Tower."
55	* The AudienceParticipation lines for ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' use this trope during the elevator ride early in the movie:
56	-->"First floor, lamps and curtains. Second floor, stupid questions. Third floor, stupid answers. Fourth floor, absolutely nothing. Fifth floor, show me something tall, green, and sexy! It's Bryant WesternAnimation/{{Gumby}}! It's [[Series/TheMuppetShow Kermit]] the Fag! It's Janet Reno in a ''Franchise/StarTrek'' outfit!"
57	:: Of course, every location has different lines, but another one goes[=:=]
58	-->"First floor, pineapple-shaped dildos. Second floor, stupid questions. Third floor, midget's room. Fourth floor, Stevie Wonder's room. Fifth floor, who's that guy all dressed in green? That's no man, it's a gay marine, don't ask, don't tell, HOO-AH!\
59	"First floor, weird musical numbers. Second floor, stupid questions. Third floor, strange answers. Fourth floor, Stevie Wonder's workshop. (Don't worry, he can't see it either!) Top floor, mad laboratory."
60	* ''Film/The5000FingersOfDrT'' has a song about all the tortures in the good doctor's dungeon:
61	-->''First floor dungeon\
62	Assorted simple tortures\
63	Molten lead, chopping blocks and hot boiling oil\
64	Second floor dungeon\
65	Jewelry department\
66	Leg chains, ankle chains, neck chains, wrist chains, thumbscrews and nooses of the very finest rope\
67	Basement dungeon\
68	[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHVRxzvkJao EVERYBODY OUT!]]''

73	* In the Creator/JimCarrey ''Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas'', while going down an elevator, the Grinch says, "First floor: factory rejects".
74	* In his typical fashion, Officer Vickers in ''Film/PsychoCopReturns'' says this when gets on a lift:
75	-->'''Vickers:''' Seventh floor, going up. Linens, luxury, eviscerated women.
76	* ''Film/DeconstructingHarry'' has the voice on the {{Hellevator}} read out:
77	-->Floor five: Subway muggers, aggressive panhandlers, and book critics.\

84	* [[DeadpanSnarker Marco]] makes a joke along these lines in ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'', book 7, ''The Stranger''.
85	-->'''Marco:''' ''([[TheElevatorFromIpanema elevator music]] is playing)'' Top floor. Ladies shoes. Children's apparel. Everyone out.
86	* In ''Down Among the Dead Men'', a 1954 scifi short by Creator/WilliamTenn, the protagonist is in a factory where [[NightOfTheLivingMooks human protoplasm is recycled to make more soldiers]] to fight a ForeverWar, so this trope is used for MoodDissonance.
87	-->Then we began going up and the [[ZeeRust elevator girl]] began announcing floors and I had lots of other things to think about. "Third floor--Corpse Reception and Classification," the operator sang out. "Fifth floor--Preliminary Organ Processing." "Seventh floor--Brain Reconstitution and Neural Alignment." "Ninth floor--Cosmetics, Elementary Reflexes, and Muscular Control." At this point, I forced myself to stop listening.
88	* The Ministry of Magic in ''Literature/HarryPotter'' has an elevator that announces and describes the departments on each floor -- the only one with no elaboration after being introduced is [[GovernmentConspiracy the Department of Mysteries]].

93	* ''Series/AreYouBeingServed'':
94	** This kind of announcement message is used straight in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Trhsw_BxT_k theme tune]], which makes sense, since it is set in a department store.

107	Material, soft furnishings,\
108	Restaurant and teas...\
109	Going down!''
110	** Incidentally, the series takes place almost entirely on the first floor, which does in fact feature the menswear department. Oddly, it also features the women's department, which goes completely unannounced in the theme.
111	* ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'':

127	--->'''Lift Woman:''' Second floor... stationery, leather goods, tribal head injuries, cricket bats, film stars, dolphinariums.\
128	'''Lift Woman:''' Third floor... cosmetics, books, Irish massage, tribal head-gear, ants... but not complaints about ants!
129	* One episode of ''Series/{{MASH}}'':

133	''[Grant gives a wide-eyed {{aside glance}}]''
134	* ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' episode "[[Recap/FarscapeS04E07JohnQuixote John Quixote]]" has a ridiculous one;

Down-down. Just once-just once it'd be nice to go... sideways. Just-just... sideways. Frog Princes! ''[door opens, a monster blows fire, John slays it]'' N-n-not that I plan on doing this forever-ever. I have plans you know -- ''[softly]'' Big ''[loudly]'' PLANS! I-I-I'm studying to be an astronaut. And... Penthouse! Have a good day.
136	%%* ''Series/{{MacGyver\|1985}}'': Jack Dalton issues one of these in the season two episode, "Dalton, Jack of Spies", when showing Mac where he runs his business. %%Example needs context to make sense on its own.
137	* ''Series/TheProfessionals'': In "Hijack", Doyle is tempted into the ElevatorGoingDown by his GirlOfTheWeek.
138	-->'''Doyle:''' Sixth floor: black magic, taxidermy, surgical stockings, pet food.
139	* ''Series/DoctorWho''. In "[[Recap/DoctorWho2022NYSEveOfTheDaleks Eve of the Daleks]]", Sarah ducks into a service elevator to escape a Dalek, only to find another one waiting for her on the floor she arrives at. As she's stuck in a GroundhogDayLoop, she just deadpans, "Top floor: Electricals, womenswear, fish tanks" before getting exterminated again.

141
142	[[folder:Ninth Floor: '''Music''', [=CDs=], Vinyl Records, Free Downloads, Musical Instruments, Sheet Music]]
143	* "Love in an Elevator" by Music/{{Aerosmith}} has an introduction in the video based on this trope. The album version too:

145	* "Paco!" by Music/{{Ladytron}}.

Even if she doesn't know what a department store actually is. Sadly, this goes awry when the boss guarding the streamer sabotages the elevator before they get to the top. Olivia announces a minor delay to the "elevator passengers" as Mario tries to fix the sabotage, only for the elevator to plummet and crash directly afterward.
175	-->'''Olivia:''' Now passing the Third Floor! Cosmetics, handbags, men's slacks, oranges, perfume, and camping gear.\
176	'''Olivia (After the elevator gets sabotaged):'''Dearest elevator passengers, there will be a minor delay while my friend Mario takes care of this emergency.\
