6A favorite of movies and movie trailers, this is a montage in which various characters get hurt in various ways, the "ouch" moments falling right on the beat of [[StandardSnippet a fast-paced (usually classical) musical piece]] -- or "Yakety Sax" -- such as Music/TheCancanSong or [[Music/AramKhachaturian Sabre Dance]].

34* WebVideo/{{Phelous}} enjoys using "The Gonk" from ''Film/{{Dawn of the Dead|1978}}'' for this purpose, editing together several clips from whatever he's reviewing.
35%%* Basically ''LetsPlay/Danny2462'''s entire schtick.
36* Implied in WebVideo/OutsideXbox's "You Awaken in a Strange Place" one-shot, set in a PeriodDrama nightclub (don't ask). One of the first events is the lethally uptight Lord Hortingly trying and, thanks to bad rolls, failing to force Gad Ticklebottom [[NakedPeopleAreFunny to put on some clothes]] while he fops comedically around the room. Liv Kennedy immediately has Queen Beatrice request Yakety Sax from the orchestra.

41* ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'': The credits for the season five finale "The Oeder Games" features a montage of characters getting hit with water balloons in slow-mo while the cast sings an off-key version of Music/{{Nena}}'s "99 Red Balloons".

44** "This Is Your Backstory" has a montage of Doofenshmirtz's failed inventions [[StuffBlowingUp self-destructing]], set to [[StandardSnippet the finale from the]] [[Music/PyotrIlyichTchaikovsky 1812 Overture]].
45** "Blackout!" has the "What is This Thing?" number, where [[ButtMonkey Candace]] is literally pulled through the wringer when she's trapped in Phineas and Ferb's huge, unseen invention.
46%%* ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry''.
