15	->''"In the meantime, though, we're going to skip straight to the theme song, so I can scream for a full minute.'' [deep breath]\
16	''AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--"''
17	-->-- '''Linkara''', ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'', "''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'', Ch. 1"
18
19	A character freaks out about something, and [[TheScream screams]]. And screams. And ''screams'', to the point where it becomes hilarious. (Although, [[OverlyLongGag sometimes it goes even longer than that.]]) Sometimes, the character takes a deep breath to continue screaming and even comments something like "[[IFellForHours Why do they make buildings this tall?]] Everyone knows you should be able to fall to your death [[LampshadeHanging in the same scream]]!"
20
21	This is almost always intentionally PlayedForLaughs; unintentionally hilarious long screams qualify as {{Narm}}. May result in an InopportuneVoiceCracking if the tone can't be sustained.
22
23	May overlap with TheScream, BigNo, HeroicBSOD, or FauxHorrific. ReactiveContinuousScream is a subtrope.

30	[[foldercontrol]]
31
32	[[folder:ANIME!]]
33	* Played for Drama in ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'' when Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Tengen let out a LONG ANGRY scream in unison right when they brutally decapitated Gyutaro and Daki simultaneously who were screaming loudly out of fear. The look on the Demon Slayers' faces may be [[NightmareFuel Nightmare Fuel]] as they suddenly resembled ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' artwork.
34	* ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' is king of this trope. Granted the characters in question are trying to charge up their ki, but they do it by screaming their heads off, and oh boy, sometimes their scream can go on for a minute ''without pause''! Fun fact: Creator/SeanSchemmel ''did'' pass out in the booth at least once during recording for ''Anime/DragonBallGT''.
35	* In Chapter 325/Episode 202 of ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'', Shinpachi lets out one of these that lasts around 15 seconds when he hears that Kondo and his sister have gotten married and are expecting a child (Depicted in the manga by having his scream filling some of spaces between the panels on the page it happens on). Made funnier by the fact that he's speeding across the city the entire time, swimming through a river, outpacing some marathon runners and a bullet train in the process before finally reaching the ocean and exclaiming his utter disbelief.
36	* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'': Played for drama as a young [[BigBad Tomura Shigaraki]] [[spoiler: turns his father to dust.]]
37	* Non-comedic example: Mewtwo in ''Anime/PokemonMewtwoReturns'' screams in agony for nearly thirty seconds straight when he tries to break free of Giovanni's machines, though this is justified since he's using telepathy and not actually vocalizing.
38	[[/folder]]
39
40	[[folder:COMICS STRIIIPS!]]
41	* In ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'', Calvin lets out a four-panel-long scream [[http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1990/03/28 upon learning that he is going to have Rosalyn as his baby sitter]].
42	-->'''Mom''': For goodness sake, Calvin! Take a breath before you pass out on the floor!
43	* Tucker in [[http://johnhartstudios.com/ckennelstrips/2015/march/ckn15_0315sc.jpg this]] ''ComicStrip/DogsOfCKennel'' strip, after a download on his laptop fails at 99%. The scream takes up the top half of all the panels of the strip.
44	* Jon does one in [[http://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1992/12/20 this]] ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' strip because he decorated the entire house with Christmas lights but ran out of cord inches before he reached the plug.
45	* ''ComicStrip/{{Nero}}'': The babies Adhemar and Clo-Clo are infamous for screaming so loud and long that workers nearby think it's the siren that announces it's time to take a break to eat.
46	[[/folder]]
47
48	[[folder:FILMS -- ANIMATION!]]
49	* In ''WesternAnimation/BrotherBear'', Kenai lets one out when he see the giant bears at the salmon run. When he is finished, he lets out a questioning and confused scream like, "Ahhh?"
50	* In ''WesternAnimation/FrozenII'', Olaf's SidekickSong "When I Am Older" is [[LastNoteNightmare briefly interrupted]] by him losing his nerve and running around in a panic for several seconds, letting out [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl a series of long, high-pitched screams of terror]].
51	* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Moana}}'', Heihei the rooster lets out a comically-long squawk of terror when he realizes he's wound up on Moana's boat and is in the middle of the ocean.
52	* ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrolTheMovie'' features Mayor Humdinger letting out a ridiculously longer scream than necessary when Ryder helps him to escape through the elevator from the top of the tall skyscraper tower he had built for his office. When the elevator reaches the lobby on the ground floor and the elevator doors open, he continues screaming in his panic for quite a few seconds causing quite a hilarious reaction from the people in the lobby looking on.
53	[[/folder]]
54
55	[[folder:FILMS -- LIVE-ACTION!]]
56	* ''Film/AceVenturaPetDetective'': Ace proves that Podacter's death was a homicide by opening and closing the balcony door while screaming; the door is soundproof when it's closed, meaning that someone else was there to close the door after Podacter fell to his death.
57	* ''Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks: The Road Chip'': Dave does this in style of his catchphrase "ALVIN!"
58	* ''Film/AustinPowers'': In ''International Man of Mystery", a security guard is frozen in fear when he's in the way of a slowly-moving steamroller being driven by Austin and Vanessa (the other security guard was smart enough to dive out of the way). His response is to scream "STOOOOOOOOOPPP!", continue to scream as the steam roller very slowly moves closer to him, and finally muster a BigNo as the steam roller runs him over.
59	* ''Film/BillAndTedsBogusJourney'': They fall down a pit to Hell, screaming the whole way, but the [[IFellForHours pit is so deep]] that they eventually get tired of repeatedly screaming and start playing 20 questions.
60	* ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff'': Cameron's scream when he realizes how much mileage is on his father's Ferrari when he and Ferris pick it up from the garage.
61	* ''Film/TheFifthElement'': Ruby Rhod is prone to these when things get hectic. The biggest explosion in the film is ''accompanied by one.'' He even stops halfway through to draw some ragged breaths before going right back to screaming his lungs out.
62	* A good example of this trope being played straight is in ''Film/TheGreenMile'' during Eduard Delacroix's execution. [[spoiler: When Percy Wetmore purposely doesn't wet the sponge, the electrical current isn't conducted directly to the brain, and instead, Del is left to take the force of electricity full-charge with no current. This results in him basically cooking alive. For most of the ordeal, Del is screaming in ungodly agony, and probably would have right up until he actually died had his vocal cords not been fried.]]
63	* ''Film/HomeAlone'':
64	** Macaulay Culkin's Overly Long Scream became practically iconic, and his "scream face" made up 90% of the trailers and marketing materials.
65	** Harry and Marv both get some good long screams in during the movies as well:
66	*** Harry opens a door to the [=MacCallisters'=] house and immediately gets his head set on fire. He stands there making a noise to the effect of "'''''HWUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!'''''" for several seconds straight before making a 180 and diving headfirst into the snow outside. One ad for the movie shown on Creator/{{Freeform}} during its annual Christmas event exaggerated the trope by drawing out his already long scream for even ''longer''.
67	*** And of course, there is Marv's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rP5FcaOkIM hysterically loud and long scream]] when Kevin drops his brother's pet spider on Marv's face.
68	* In ''Film/HoubaOnTheTrailOfTheMarsupilami'', both times Dan Geraldo falls down a hole (well, he's TheKlutz), he lets out a comically long scream, hinting at BottomlessPits.
69	* The ending of ''Film/HouseOnTheEdgeOfThePark'', after Alex, a rapist and murderer, have the tables turned on him and gets a bullet [[GroinAttack put through his dick]]. Cue Alex letting out a looooooooooooooooooooong scream in slow-motion (at least some 40 seconds) before falling backwards into a pool.
70	* In another rare example that's played straight and doesn't come across as {{Narm}}, in ''Film/IntoTheWoods'', when the Baker attempts to take Red Riding Hood's cape by force, she responds with an 8-second scream, not pausing until the Baker brings back her cape and puts it back on her.
71	* ''Film/JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth2008'': When the main characters fall down the hole leading to the center of the earth. Of the "take a deep breath, then continue screaming" variety.
72	* In ''Film/KissMeDeadly'', Literature/MikeHammer slams a desk drawer on the hand of a scientist ''after'' he gets the information he was looking for. The man continues to scream even well after Mike has moved on to examining what he got.
73	* Walter in ''Film/TheMuppets2011'', upon learning of the trouble his heroes' studio is in, screams across several short scenes. (Odd that nobody tried even to muffle him on the bus.)
74	* The Moai in Night at the Museum did this so Larry can talk to the fighting exhibits
75	* Westley does it in ''Film/ThePrincessBride'', when Humperdink charges into the Pit of Despair and cranks Rugen's life-sucking machine to its maximum setting. This causes Inigo to say "Fezzik, you hear? That is the sound of Ultimate Suffering".
76	* The film version of ''Literature/RonjaTheRobbersDaughter'' has a [[http://youtu.be/N-YqaoFo8bw memorable one]].
77	[[/folder]]
78
79	[[folder:LIIIIIITERRRRATURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE!]]
80	* In ''Literature/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban'', Ron uses up two whole lines of text to scream "AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHH! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" after he wakes up to find Sirius Black standing over him with a knife.
81	** In one French translation of the book, the first word is actually spread over ''two'' lines, with the "H"s alone occupying one.
82	* In the ''Literature/WarriorCats'' novella ''Tree's Roots'', Tree's mother Moonlight yowls a terrified "Mrrrrooooooooooow!" during a storm.
83	[[/folder]]
84
85	[[folder:LIIIIIIIIIIIVE-ACTIOOOOOOOOOOOOON TVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!]]
86	* ''Series/{{Angel}}''. In "There's No Place Like Plrtz Glrb" Cordelia is presented with Lorne's severed head to encourage a more compliant attitude. She doesn't start screaming though [[LosingYourHead until the head starts talking to her]] (turns out Deathwok demons can survive decapitation). Lorne patiently tells Cordy to get it out of her system, but when the scream goes on and on without stopping, Lorne tells her to shut up because he no longer has the hands to cover his ears.
87
88	* On ''Series/{{Cheers}}'' during the last season, Carla got drunk and had sex with one of the regulars, but couldn't remember which one at first. When she realized it was [[spoiler: Paul]], she let out a scream that went through the commercial break.
89	* ''Series/TheCloser'': A 6-year-old girl did this in the police station to demonstrate what her parents told her to do if the recently murdered child molester living next door ever approached her.
90	* ''Series/TheDrewCareyShow'' has this happen to Lewis.
91	--> "AAAAAAH! I'm still falling - I just ran out of breath! AAAAAAAAAH"
92	* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'': In the second-season episode ''Hollywood Babylon'' the brothers investigate a possible haunting on a movie set. This trope is one of the signs of how terrible the [[ShowWithinAShow horror movie being filmed]] is.
93	* A non-comedic example in ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' Series 2 episode "Adrift": a boy gets zapped through a spacetime rift and returns seven months later (but 40 years older). What he saw on the other end of the rift has driven him mad and he ends up in a mental hospital screaming for ''twenty hours straight, every day''.
94	* Definitely non-comedic in ''The Monocled Mutineer'', where a condemned deserter screams like an animal all the way to the firing squad and during his execution. One of the soldiers [[VomitIndiscretionShot threw up]] afterwards.
95	* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'':
96	** Near the end of [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S08E02TheLeechWoman "The Leech Woman"]], Tom Servo cracks up and starts doing an impression of [[Series/TheBeverlyHillbillies Granny Clampett]], repeatedly shouting "JED!" This culminates in him letting out a ridiculously long shout of "JEEEEEEEEED!" that lasts throughout the entire end credits of the movie.
97	** In [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S08E03TheMolePeople "The Mole People"]], the SOL crew have a bake sale, and Crow's showing is a mile-high meringue pie... [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin that really is a mile high]]. He falls off trying to cut a slice for Mike and screams all the way down, for a full seventeen seconds.
98	--> "... can I just get that to go?"
99	** In [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S08E20SpaceMutiny "Space Mutiny"]], Servo installs railings EVERYWHERE on the SOL, including but not limited to in front of Mike's bedroom and an ankle-high railing around the carpet, in jest of the tropenaming [[RailingKill railing kills that dominated the horrid film]]. Mike trips over one and falls into a previously unmentioned pit. Hilarity ensues.
100	--> "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! takes breath Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Servoooooooooooo!"
101	** In [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S09E12TheScreamingSkull "The Screaming Skull"]], Crow pranks Mike by dressing up as a skull and saying "Raargh!" Mike [[ComicalOverreacting started screaming forever]], whacking Crow over the head with the bag of chips he happens to be holding, running away, returning with a baseball bat and hitting Crow a few more times, running away again, returning with his full set of golf clubs, [[OverlyLongGag carefully selecting which club to use]], pausing to let Tom Servo admire his new driver, [[GolfClubbing then whacking Crow several more times with said driver]]. And all the while, ''Mike does not stop screaming.''
102	* ''Series/OddSquad'':
103	** In "Soundcheck", Circle Sue gives a [[HellIsThatNoise loud, shrill one]] upon finding out that some of her triangle-shape chairs have disappeared, with the song "Take Away Four" playing under it the entire time. It manages to startle a currently-dancing Otto and snaps Olive out of her "why am I being tortured like this" reaction.
104	** "Double Trouble" has a four-way one when Delivery Debbie explains to Olive, Otto, and Oprah how she inadvertently created her clones. [[ReactiveContinuousScream First she begins to scream when she creates and sees her first clone, then the clone begins to scream, then it inadvertently creates two ''more'' clones which begin to scream upon seeing the first clone and the real deal. From there, it's just one big moment of shocked screaming that concludes with the real Debbie]] [[EatTheCamera eating the camera]] as the scene moves back to the present time and she's just shown screaming in Oprah's office while the Director gives her a rather unnerved look.
105	** Otto gives one in "My Better Half" upon finding out that half of his body's been taken by Symmetric Al. It's so long that he's still shown screaming by the time he (somehow) gets down to the Lab and Oprah has to yell at him to shut up and calm down, to which he rightfully responds by reiterating that half of his body is gone. When Oscar tells him that he can't restore his body, he goes from screaming to being on the brink of crying as he gives out sorrowful wails.
106	* London does one of these in the episode 'Poor Little Rich Girl' of ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody'' after finding out that she is broke. She starts screaming in her hotel room and is still doing so when she steps out of the elevator in the lobby.
107	* Literally happens in the middle of every episode with Shelby and Cyde in ''Series/BestFriendsWhenEver'', when they find out something bad and proceed to [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou start screaming at the camera and viewers]] [[ReactiveContinuousScream whilst overlapping each other]]. However, [[FromBadToWorse their screams last the entire commercial break in every episode]], so we recommend you cover your ears for this one.
108	[[/folder]]
109
110	[[folder:MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC!]]
111	* ''Music/LinkinPark'': The song ''Given Up'' features a scream at the beginning that lasts ''18 seconds.''
112	** Some live performances had singer Chester Bennington stop for a bit to catch his breath.
113	* The MetalScream during Music/LambOfGod's song "Laid to Rest" lasts for sixteen seconds.
114	[[/folder]]
115
116	[[folder:VIIIIIIIIIIDEOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMES!]]
117	* Used as the title for the game ''[[VideoGame/AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAAARecklessDisregardForGravity AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity]]''.
118	* The witnesses in ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' have been knowing to scream their lungs out for incredible lengths, ''especially'' during their VillainousBreakdown. Furio "The Tiger" Tigre in ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations'' takes the crown: his ''introduction'' is roaring for ''over seven dialogue boxes''.
119	* When Agon is first encountered in ''VideoGame/BrutalOrchestra'', he spends four screen-filling text boxes doing nothing but screaming in terror before calming down and joining the party (although not without getting one last little scream out of his system first).
120	* Vincent Brooks in ''{{VideoGame/Catherine}}'' screams for twenty seconds straight when [[spoiler: [[AllJustADream on Day 8]], Katherine screams that she'll [[ThisIsUnforgivable never forgive him]] for cheating on her for Catherine.]]
121	* Non-comedic example: in ''VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon'', the intro combines this with DistantReactionShot to show the full extent of the second Synchronicity Event.
122	* ''VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet3'': Newton does one in the cutscene when he and Sackboy, along with the trio of heroes [[IFellForHours fall to their doom]] until they landed on his dad's ship.
123	* ''VideoGame/TheNeverhood'': Having [[TheProtagonist Klaymen]] [[TemptingFate jump in the drain]] has him give a long scream [[NonStandardGameOver as he falls into the void]].
124	* ''VideoGame/SeriousSam'' brings us the [[ActionBomb Headless Kamikazes]], suicidal {{Mook}}s who will charge at Sam and scream until they explode either from charging into Sam or getting blown the hell up. If you have a big enough space, it is possible to have the Kamikaze keep chasing you and screaming all throughout.
125	* In ''VideoGame/ShadowWarrior1997'', if Lo Wang is falling from a dangerous height, he will scream all the way down. Find a pit deep enough and he will actually pause for breath and then continue shouting.
126	* In the 2012 Halloween Update for ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'', the update's new map features a bottomless pit [[SchmuckBait with a fully restoring health pack above it]]. Any class that falls into it will let out one of these, but the Scout and Spy will [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] it on a couple of occasions should they fall in. The Scout will say "Holy crap, dis goes on forever..." after a while of screaming. The Spy will either say "Come on, I don't have all day!" after some screaming, or he will scream for a bit and continue after taking a breath.
127	* Unintentional version: In the ''Franchise/TombRaider'' series, if Lara falls more than a certain distance, her death scream starts playing, on the assumption that she'll die from impact damage when she lands. There are a handful of places in the early games where you can fall so far that the scream loops multiple times before she hits the ground (and at least one place where SoftWater will allow her to survive such a drop).
128	* Used as part of the background music for ''VideoGame/QuakeI''. A scream which is incorporated into the music goes on, and on, and on and on, fading in and out and becoming ragged at times but going on for far longer than should be humanly possible.
129	[[/folder]]
130
131	[[folder:WEB ANIMATIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!]]
132	* Snowball uses this in ''BFDI 6'' when he gets Rocky and Golf Ball on his team.
133	* In the [[https://web.archive.org/web/20100206022017/http://www.freewebs.com/spirit_library/Burn_stuff.htm "BURN STUFF!!!" PSA]], upon learning that his ice cream has melted:
134	* ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'': In "Sea What I Found", Lifty and Shifty steal Russell's buried treasure, causing him to scream long enough for the thieves to have a chess match before laughing at him and swimming off with the goods.
135	* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'': In the WebAnimation/StrongBadEmail "sibbie", Strong Bad's frustration at accidentally writing a song about Sibbie (and then somehow creating a follow-up to that song called "I Freaking Hate Sibbie") drives him to repeatedly body-slam Homestar's radio while screaming in frustration for five straight seconds.
136	* Used a lot in ''WebAnimation/{{Siblings}}'''s first AprilFoolsDay cartoon called [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/489365 "Siblings Untitled 01"]], such as the part where Rob and Johny ride a mine cart to a tropical forest screaming. Also at the end, Rob does this before Johny smacks him in the head with a chair.
137	[[/folder]]
138
139	[[folder:WEBCOMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICS!]]
140	* ''Webcomic/AwkwardZombie'': [[https://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic/a-berry-important-job "A Berry Important Job"]] has a WorkerUnit in VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresII respond to being attacked by a wild animals with a scream like this.
141	* Alex's AtomicFBomb in ''Webcomic/CaptainSNES''.
142	* Happened at least a couple of times in ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'', in accordance with Cap'n Sam Starfall's philosophy, "When in trouble, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout!" Helix is usually eager to join in. In one notable incident near the beginning, the two of them are running in circles and screaming for long enough that they have to stop to take a deep breath (synchronized, even) before continuing. Florence comments on how inexplicable it is that Helix, who is a ROBOT, needs to stop for breath... Then she tears out his voicebox to shut him up and offers to do the same to Sam if he doesn't quiet down.
143	* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' has John's BigNo in Act 6, which has him take a deep breath twice.
144	* ''Webcomic/TheLastHalloween'' has an extreme example that goes on for several pages when Mona realizes that Dr. Fugue and his associates aren't humans in costume. It doesn't exactly help when Dr. Fugue suggests primitive brain surgery to make her be still.
145	* [[http://zebeth.com/planetzebeth/archives/z109.html This comic]] from ''Webcomic/PlanetZebeth''.
146	* In ''Webcomic/{{Witchprickers}}'', Ilemauzer the bat [[http://buxompiratewench.comicgenesis.com/d/20070829.html has one]] when she discovers [[UpliftedAnimal she became a lot more humanoid]].
147	--> '''[[SatanIsGood Old Scratch]]''': [[LampshadeHanging Ah, good! Uncontrollable screaming! That's always a good sign!]]
148	[[/folder]]
149
150	[[folder:WEB ORIGINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!]]
151	* Website/{{Uncyclopedia}} has [[https://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/AAAAAAAAA! AAAAAAAAA!]], an article consisting of nothing but this.
152	* [[http://what-if.xkcd.com/51/ This]] ''Blog/WhatIf'' entry features illustrations of Mount Thor in Canada, with the vertical drop labeled "AAAAAAAAAAAAA". The Alt-Text for both images are also literally "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" (the second image's Alt-Text has a "[=::gasp::=]").
153	[[/folder]]
154
155	[[folder:WEB VIIIIIIIIIIDEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOS!]]
156	* ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'':
157	** As seen in the page quote, Linkara did this in his ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' review after his [=YouTube=] account was temporarily disabled.
158	---> "''[[BrickJoke -- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!]]'' (beat) [[MoodWhiplash So anyway, Fist of the North Star, a.k.a. Hokuto no Ken, began life as a serialized manga in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1983.]]"
159	** And then there's the end of his ''Secret Empire'' review when he realizes the next book he'd review... is ''ComicBook/HeroesInCrisis''. Cue anguished scream. One that is ''still happening'' [[BrickJoke in the opening of the review proper]]!
160	* ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'':
161	** Vegeta's scream can be heard by Krillin and Gohan miles away, Goku in outer space, King Yemma in the afterlife, and Trunks on Earth ''twenty years in the future''. An '''[[SerialEscalation alternate]]''' future!
162	** {{Lampshaded}} when Goku is screaming his head off in pain from heart disease:
163	--->'''Yamcha:''' I can't really remember the last time he inhaled! And while that's sort of impressive, I don't think it's healthy! ''[Goku inhales a massive breath]'' Oh, good, he took a br-- ''[Goku starts screaming again]''
164	* WebVideo/FiveSecondFilms: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfchvCyHmsc Late For Work]]" features an AtomicFBomb which is implied to last all day.
165	* When WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic reviewed ''Film/SonOfTheMask'', the CGI scenes featuring the baby horrified him so much that he let out a scream that stretched out through the commercial break.
166	** Tamara (Nostalgia Critic's ally) lets out one combined with SayMyName in an Episode when the Critic refused to get help when watching ''Film/TheCountryBears''. It was so long that she took a breath. You can still hear her scream while the title appears instead of the iconic "Review Must Go On" as the title repeats 3 times as she tries to stop screaming.
167	* WebVideo/ScottTheWoz screams for the entirety of the end segment of his "The Worst Games of All Time" video after he's played and reviewed the aforementioned games.
168	* ''WebVideo/StacheBros'': In "Mario & Luigi's Delfino Dilemma", Luigi is so afraid of flying in planes that he screams through most of the flight to and from Isle Delfino, much to Mario's annoyance.
169	* ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' summed up in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?hl=en-GB&v=iYSyvIbTAJA&gl=NG 30 seconds]].
170	[[/folder]]
171
172	[[folder:WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESTERRRRRRRRRN ANIMATIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!]]
173	* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'':
174	** Lemongrab screams all the time as his default speaking voice, but it tends to turn into this when he gets ''really'' mad. In one scene in "Too Young", Finn and the princess leave a sign by his bed that says, "You really smell like dog buns." After he reads it, Lemongrab clenches his fists tightly, starts shaking, opens up his eyes wide, opens up his mouth wide, and screams loudly for several seconds, his tone rising in pitch until it cracks.
175	** In "Another Way", Finn does this while running away after a few [[MonsterClown clown nurses]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext hold him down while kissing his toe]].
176	* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball,'' Richard did this as a child when he found out that magic doesn't exist. He didn't stop for ''15 years''. [[NegativeContinuity All other episodes showing him younger contradict this, though]].
177	** Richard also screamed a BigNo for a long time when he found out he had to get a job.
178	* ''WesternAnimation/Animaniacs2020'': In "Who Donut?", Wakko does this after he finds out that someone ate his donuts.
179	* ''WesternAnimation/BackAtTheBarnyard'': Done by Otis at one episode after Abby announces Book Night
180	* ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'': In "Lorenzo's Oil? No, Linda's", Gayle freaks out when she hears Linda is getting involved in essential oils. She's so freaked out, she's shown screaming non-stop as she goes to pick up the kids and take them to Angie's house.
181	-->'''Tina:''' Aunt Gayle, you're scaring me!
