[[caption-width-right:350:''Supernatural'''s normal season 4 title card and [[Recap/SupernaturalS04E05MonsterMovie "Monster Movie"]]'s [[{{Retraux}} throwback]] title card.]]

A variation on a show's usual TitleSequence for a special event. Does not cover the regular evolution of a title sequence from season to season. Likely to occur in conjunction with FormulaBreakingEpisode. Can also be applied to the [[EndingTheme ending sequence]], if the show has one (e.g. {{Anime}}).

TitleOnlyOpening, SilentCredits, FinaleCredits and VariationsOnAThemeSong are sub-tropes of this.

When this trope is done with company logos, see LogoJoke. When this trope occurs on a regular basis, see CouchGag.

* Creator/DCComics:
** DC did a crossover event called ''ComicBook/ForeverEvil2013'' in September 2013, which had a "Villains Month" comic for a third of the series ongoing at that time (complete with a villain-specific comic title).
** When DC released a special Franchise/GreenLantern issue to commemorate the hero's [[MilestoneCelebration 80th anniversary]] in 2020, the DC Comics logo was in the Green Lantern power battery, as seen [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/UTWeJDSy9dnXwnws6ExmhmLXbyT1wlDAQpehKLnl8nREGOXEQIaxyYBp4MP2fqoEf4SRkQ756iIR0vQiwHIOKT3mB7STqKKmzZb6xc1IlGlrGQFFFg4v9o3rj3cMiVOSH0eM90vpEg=s1600 here]].
* Creator/MarvelComics has used custom corner-box art on its comic covers to reflect special events, special comics, or just for a laugh:
** [[https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Assistant_Editor%27s_Month_1984 "Assistant Editors' Month"]] (September 1983, issues cover dated January 1984) was chock full of these, given its premise of having the books' assitant editors given free reign while their superiors were busy at San Diego Comic-Con. Among the more notable gags:
*** Ann Nocenti's titles (''[[ComicBook/TheDefenders The New Defenders]] #127''[[note]]Featuring a one-page story where Nocenti lets her newfound editorial powers get to her head.[[/note]], ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'' #291[[note]]The Hulk visits the Marvel offices and talks to the InUniverse Nocenti, wondering whether he should expose General Ross' deal with M.O.D.O.K.[[/note]], ''ComicBook/TheThing'' #7[[note]]The Thing raises hell at the Marvel offices after reading their grossly-exaggerated account of his encounter with a one-off criminal.[[/note]], and ''Marvel Fanfare'' #12[[note]]Featuring a back-up story where Nocenti finds herself overwhelmed with her recent "promotion", the opposite of the ''Defenders'' back-up.[[/note]]) had a caricature of Nocenti either take the place of the usual corner box portrait (the former three) or outright shoving the usual editor out of the way (''Fanfare'').
*** ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'' #239[[note]][[JustForFun/TheOneWith The one where]] the Avengers appear on ''Series/LateNight with Creator/DavidLetterman''.[[/note]], ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'' #289[[note]]Featuring a back-up story where Cap's girlfriend Bernie [[ImagineSpot dreams a scenario]] where she and Steve swap places.[[/note]], ''ComicBook/IronMan'' #178[[note]]Mockingly billed as "The All-New Iron Man, Shame of the City", reflecting Tony's alcoholism at the time.[[/note]], and ''ComicBook/ConanTheBarbarian'' #154 had checkerboard trade dresses resembling the one used by DC Comics during UsefulNotes/{{The Silver Age|Of Comic Books}}, with the former three titles having the corner box portraits turned ''away'' from the reader.
*** ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'' #262, "The Trial of Reed Richards"[[note]]Reed is put on trial by the Galactic Tribunal for sparing Galactus' life, with John Byrne himself serving as the stenographer.[[/note]], includes a hand-written note from Creator/JohnByrne in the corner box asking the editors not to do anything too crazy with the cover.
** ''[[ComicBook/SpiderMan The Amazing Spider-Man]]'' #250[[note]]Billed as a "Special ''Normal-Sized'' 250th Issue." [[/note]] had the Hobgoblin shout out to the reader "It's great! Steal it!" [[http://daveslongbox.blogspot.com/2005/05/amazing-spider-man-250-marvel-comics.html At least one person]] confessed to taking him up on that advice.
** ''Captain America'' #332, which had Steve Rogers decide to resign the mantle, has corner-box art of Abraham Lincoln's portrait shedding a tear.
** ''Fantastic Four'' #348 had corner-box art of Spider-Man, Wolverine, the Hulk and Ghost Rider, who had been recruited as the New Fantatic Four to replace and investigate the kidnapping of the original Four. The next issue, #349, had corner-box art of the Hulk and the Thing, reflecting the two teams uniting to take on the kidnappers.
** Tom Scioli's ''Fantastic Four'' miniseries "Grand Design" had corner-box art of the Fantastic Four using their powers, as seen [[https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Fantastic_Four:_Grand_Design_Vol_1_1 here]].
** ''Marvel Fanfare'' #15 paid tribute to the April Fool's Day theme of the main story with a corner-box image of Archie Goodwin's cigar having exploded as a practical joke, seen [[https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Marvel_Fanfare_Vol_1_15 here]].
** ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'' #381, where Thor was trapped in the body of the Destroyer armor, had corner-box art of the Destroyer armor, as seen [[https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Thor_Vol_1_381 here]].
** ''ComicBook/{{The Transformers|Marvel}}'' #80, the last issue of the original Marvel run, [[https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/f/f7/MarvelUS-80.jpg replaced]] the usual faction leader corner box portrait with a beveled Decepticon insignia (to match the beveled Autobot insignia on the title logo), and was billed as "'''#80''' in a four-issue limited series."[[note]][[LampshadedTrope Lampshading]] how the book didn't reset its numbering in the transition from miniseries to ongoing, unlike most titles.[[/note]]
*** The last issue of Creator/IDWPublishing's ''[[ComicBook/TheTransformersRegenerationOne Regeneration One]]'' follow-up (which ignores ''[[ComicBook/TransformersGeneration2 Generation 2]]'' and thus starts at #81) similarly billed itself as "'''#100''' in a four-issue limited series".
* ''Comicbook/TwoThousandAD'' #157, which introduced the ''Comic Rock'' feature (stories inspired by rock music, in this case a ''Comicbook/NemesisTheWarlock'' strip based on "Going Underground" by Music/TheJam) had a unique logo in which the zeroes were all records.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comic Strips]]
* ''ComicStrip/TheWackyAdventuresOfPedro'':
** The comic becomes ''The Wacky Adventures of Pedrobot'' during Pedro's term as a robot slave on the Ruby Moon of Doom, with the title box having Pedrobot's name written on a bar apparently bolted over Pedro's.
** The comic becomes ''The Wacky Adventures of Pedramoeba'' after Ordep shrinks Pedro to microscopic size.
* In ''ComicBook/TheBeano'', when the ''ComicStrip/DennisTheMenaceUK'' strip was running a story arc about Gnasher being missing, Walter's poodle Foo-Foo [[HostileShowTakeOver took over]] the strip ''Gnasher's Tale'', renaming it ''Foo-Foo's Fairy Stories''.
* ComicStrip/{{Elvie}}:
** The title changes to ''Elfie'' when Elvie plays VideoGame/NetHack.
** The title changes to ''Elvis'' in a comic about Elvie's [=GitHub=] username.
** The title changes to ''Selfie'' when Elvie draws an SVG self-portrait.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Fan Works]]
* Audio example: ''Fanfic/FobbiesAreBorange'' has had several opening song changes; from a sophisticated theme for the two episodes with a British narrator, to the a cappella theme for the Moonside episode, to the epic song for the final episode.
* ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'':
** This ScriptFic has one for season 3 premiere "Dr. Brain Chill"; the credits are overlaid on various shots of space.
** Same with "Tracer Bullet in Color!", taking after film noir opening credits.
* ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'' uses in the covers for its main and side stories the traditional yellow and blue of the Pokémon franchise logo, save for two particular instances:
** The sidestories "Agatha & Sam Gaiden" and "Shadows of the Jungle", being [[HalloweenEpisode Halloween Episodes]] dealing with horror themes, change the title to [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver red and black]].
** The second [[ChristmasEpisode Holiday Special]] has the title in red and green, and also adds some golden letters in the subtitle for good measure.
* ''Webcomic/NaruHinaChronicles Mini-sodes'': The logo for the Mini-sodes consists of Naruto and Hinata's heads surrounding "NHC Mini-sodes", as shown [[https://www.deviantart.com/mattwilson83/art/NHC-minisodes-01-prepared-460814690 here]]. In the ChristmasEpisode, as shown [[https://www.deviantart.com/mattwilson83/art/NHC-minisodes-Christmas-Special-2015-579795528 here]], the NHC letters have snow on top of them, with some Christmas decorations on their side. Also, Naruto is wearing a Santa hat and a Santa beard, while Hinata is wearing an elf hat and has elf-like pointy ears.
* Excluding the first four episodes, which didn't have an established intro yet, a few episodes of ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'' had different opening credits:
** "Both Of You Duel Like You Want To Win" features a montage of various ''Yu-Gi-Oh'' clips while "[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion A Cruel Angel's Thesis]]" plays, complete with a ([[FunWithSubtitles completely inaccurate]]) translation of the song's lyrics.
** "Busted Rhymes" featured the same footage as the regular intro, but with "[[Music/VillagePeople YMCA]]" playing instead of "Kawaita Sakebi".
** "Duel Of Fates" featured a parody of the opening crawl from ''Franchise/StarWars''.
** "Sore" had the Pharaoh singing a parody of the opening theme of ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir''.
** "Dork Side Of The Moon" once again had the same footage as the intro, but the theme tune was instead "sung" by series creator Creator/LittleKuriboh, complete with beat boxing in the background.
** "Bakuhazard" featured an intro for "The Bakura Show", with "[[Film/TheOmen1976 Ave Satani]]" playing and overlayed with ridiculous English lyrics.
** "They Saved Tristan's Brain" had [[EvilIsHammy Marik]] singing to the tune of "[[Anime/DragonBallZ Cha-la Head Cha-La!]]"
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Films — Animated]]
* Creator/{{Laika}}
** ''WesternAnimation/KuboAndTheTwoStrings'': The Laika Entertainment logo features homages to its previous films.
** '' WesternAnimation/MissingLink'' uses the same logo, but includes Mr Link.
* Creator/{{Disney}}
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'' appears with a "[[MilestoneCelebration 50th animated motion picture]]" commemoration.
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Encanto}}'' appears with a "[[MilestoneCelebration 60th animated motion picture]]" commemoration.
* Creator/DreamWorksAnimation
** Some Chinese releases use an Oriental [=DreamWorks=] logo, where the moon is formed from a paintstroke and a panda (inspired by Po the Kung Fu Panda) sits on the moon.
** ''WesternAnimation/PenguinsOfMadagascar'': The logo appears with a 20 Years commemoration tag.
** ''WesternAnimation/TrollsWorldTour'': The logo appears with a 25 Years commemoration tag.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirlsMovie'' had a special Cartoon Network logo designed for the film: all the Hanna-Barbara/Cartoon Network characters sit in a cinema, and as it darkens only their eyes are seen, which form the logo, as seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvxTLY_YBdU here]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Films — Live-Action]]
* Some MGM films have the lion in the logo be calm and tranquil, in contrast to its normal roaring manner:
** The 1959 adaptation of ''[[Film/BenHur1959 Ben-Hur]]'' was the first to do this, a deliberate move from the director, who felt the roaring lion would be at peace in a film about Christ.
** Other films where the lion is silent include ''The Next Voice You Hear...'' (a 1950 film about God speaking on the radio) and the 1951 adventure film ''Westward the Women.''
* A variation; the films of Creator/YasujiroOzu often had the film title set against a sackcloth background, to represent a simple middle-class background. His last film, ''Film/AnAutumnAfternoon'', had the title set against a background of painted fronds.
* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'':
** ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'': Instead of the regular fanfare, the Marvel logo opens with an orchestrated version of the famous ''Spider-Man'' theme from the [[WesternAnimation/SpiderMan1967 classic animated series]]. Spider-Man himself is inserted into the live action clips in the logo. (He usually isn't in the logo, the scene he replaces from the normal logo is one of Hulk tearing through Utron's mooks.)
** ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'': Unlike most of the previous films' opening Marvel logos, the typical fanfare is replaced by the sounds of a distress call placed by the Asgardian ship seen at the end of ''Film/ThorRagnarok'', along with the "I" and "O" in Marvel Studios being replaced with the number 10 to mark the MCU's anniversary. The turning of "I" and "O" into the number 10 is repeated in ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp'' which came out the same year.
** ''Film/CaptainMarvel2019'': As this is the first Marvel Cinematic Universe film released after Creator/StanLee's death, the Marvel logo features images of Lee's cameos and publicity images, and comes with a message: "Thank you, Stan."
** For ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', all of the characters who vanished in ''Infinity War'' were conspicuously absent from the opening logos.
** After Creator/ChadwickBoseman's death, the Creator/DisneyPlus screening of ''Film/BlackPanther2018'' changed the Marvel Studios logo character montage to footage and artwork of him as the Black Panther starting on what would have been his 44th birthday, November 29, 2020.
*** All copies of its sequel ''Film/BlackPantherWakandaForever'' feature the same logo, but the usual fanfare is replaced with [[SilentCredits complete silence]].
* James Bond's gunbarrel sequences changes for special occasions:
** For ''Film/DrNo'' and ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006'' the gunbarrrel sequence is part of the animated opening sequence. For Dr No, it was the first film, so there was no prologue, while Casino Royale was a prequel/reboot.
** ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'', George Lazenby's only Bond film, had Lazenby drop on one knee in the sequence.
** ''Film/DieAnotherDay'' has Bond fire a bullet into the gunbarrel itself.
** ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'' has a title card commemorating Bond's 50th anniversary.
** The international release of ''Film/NoTimeToDie'' has the [[Creator/{{Universal}} Universal Pictures]] globe turn all white and shift to the left, starting the gunbarrel sequence.
* On Creator/PBSKids airings of ''Film/OddSquadWorldTurnedOdd'', the second half would open up with the usual opening theme, only narrated by Odd Todd and twisted so that it shows all of the odd things he's done. The title card at the end reads "Todd Squad" instead of "Odd Squad", with the creators' names changed as well: "Todd [=McKeon=]" and "Adam Peltztodd".
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Literature]]
* ''Literature/RiversOfLondon'':
** The German editions have Ben Aaronovitch's name on a piece of scrollwork flanked by two skulls (one in a police helmet and one in a top hat) and with the Big Ben clock tower rising from the centre. For the translation of ''Foxglove Summer'', where Peter [[StrangeCopInAStrangeLand finds himself in the countryside]], the clock is replaced by a medieval church tower (not unlike the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somerset_towers Somerset towers]]). The first novella doesn't have the skulls and tower, and the second, ''The October Man'', about Peter's German counterpart, has no tower but Weimar eagles in place of the skulls.
** More subtly, most editions of the city-based novels all use a detail of the relevant area from Stephen Walker's incredible "The Island: London Series" artworks. For ''Foxglove Summer'', Patrick Knowles creates a Herefordshire equivalent. Walker himself does one of Trier for ''The October Man''. ''False Value'' has London, but with a striking green-on-black design rather than the usual parchment background. [[spoiler: The "computery" effect represents that Peter is now working for an IT firm.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
* The {{Christmas Episode}}s of ''Series/TheFurchesterHotel'' has snow in the bird's-eye view of the city, and the shots of the hotel exterior.
* ''Series/TheMuppetShow'':
** The episode starring Loretta Lynn takes place at a railroad station because the usual theater is being fumigated, so the opening and closing titles take place at the station.
--->''It's time to meet the Muppets at the railroad track tonight.''\\
''It's time to make up scenery, let's hope we do it right.''
** The episode starring Kaye Ballard had the Electric Mayhem going on strike because they were annoyed by the theme song, so the closing titles run over Rowlf playing it solo on his piano.
* ''Series/SesameStreet'':
** From season 30 to 32, the intro had a shot of Big Bird walking several girls in tutus across the street. The season 31 premiere had a chroma-keyed Zoe freeze the theme at that particular point to inform the viewers watching that the following episode had dancing as its focus (Zoe is a ballerina herself).
** In 1975, all but the first of five [[VacationEpisode episodes revolving around a trip to New Mexico]] had [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsNe99Ywrg8 a special, extended title sequence]] showing Big Bird and the adults driving in a pick-up truck, with a special version of the iconic theme tune to go with it:
--->Sunny day,\\
Coming to Santa Fe,\\
On my way,\\
To where the air is sweet.\\
We're a long, long, long, long,\\
Long, long way from Sesame Street!\\
Here we go, off to New Mexico,\\
Tacos, burritos, frijoles! Can't be beat!\\
We're a long, long, long, long,\\
Long, long way from Sesame Street!\\
Gonna see the desert flowers,\\
Gonna work for hours and hours,\\
With happy people like you,\\
Happy people like-\\
Good-bye care!\\
Hurry, we're almost there!\\
Smell that air, come on, just 10 more feet!\\
We're a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, [[OverlyLongGag long, long, long, long, long, long, long]] way from Sesame Street!\\
Long way from Sesame Street!\\
Long way from Sesame Street!
* The UK version of the ''Series/FraggleRock'' episode "Born to Wander", which introduces John Gordon-Sinclair's P.K. as the human character following Fulton Mackay's death, has a title sequence that shows Sprocket alone in the lighthouse, because the opening scene shows P.K. arriving.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Radio]]
* Talk show host Herman Cain of ''Radio/TheHermanCainShow'' normally warns any audience members still driving at the start of his show that "there are some '''[[DrivesLikeCrazy nuts]]''' on the road", on some holidays, he has warned that there are "even more" nuts on the road.
* The episode of ''Radio/TheArchers'' in which the long-serving and much-loved Phil Archer died didn't play the show's theme tune at the end, instead fading out to Elgar's "Dream of Gerontius", which Phil had been listening to as he passed away peacefully at home.
* ''Radio/TheNowShow''
** The opening credits sometimes have some variant on "I'm Steve Punt." "And I'm Hugh Dennis." "With us are [guests], and this is..." "THE NOW SHOOOW!", especially if Hugh is absent from an episode and someone else has to do the last bit. In the fourth episode of Series 56, when the country was in lockdown due to COVID-19 and the cast were all recording remotely, Hugh apparently missed his cue for his introduction, and the shout of the title was preceded by a computer voice announcing "Hugh has joined the group", which became a RunningGag for the first half of the show.
** The final episode of that series ended with a medley of 1940s song parodies in the style of the Andrews Sisters (referencing the British media's constant use of World War II as an analogy in a crisis). The end credits were then read out like a 1940s American radio show, even including a fake sponsor (Relaxo, the soothing drink for people who can't get their audio software to work properly.)
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]
* ''VideoGame/EliteBeatAgents'' does this in a few levels for impact.
** In "You're the Inspiration" for example, they don't count down or wave their arms, and the title appears over a picture of their client, rather than the agents saying "Hey! Mission!" like always.
** In "Jumping Jack Flash", they only have the countdown, due to it being a continuation of the last level.
** The Japanese predecessor to ''Elite Beat Agents'' (''VideoGame/OsuTatakaeOuendan'') has a few of these as well. In the original, "Over The Distance" had a much quieter call for help and had their target running down the stairs to Heaven instead of the more HotBlooded regaining of spirit and countdown. In the sequel, "Believe" and "Sekai wa Sore wo Ai to Yobun da ze" are similar to "You're The Inspiration" and "Jumping Jack Flash", respectively.
* ''VideoGame/EverybodyEdits'' often has the logo change during HolidayMode or when there's an upcoming contest.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Animation]]
* ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'' uses Halloween graphics in the opening for {{Halloween Episode}}s, complete with the theme song being done in a minor key.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Comics]]
* ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'' title pages usually have a black background with a picture of something relevant to the chapter in the middle. The title pages for chapters 10 ([[Recap/GunnerkriggCourtChapter10DoctorDisaster "Doctor Disaster Versus the Creepy Space Aliens From Outer Space"]]) and 23 ([[Recap/GunnerkriggCourtChapter23TerrorCastleOfTheJupiterMoonMartians "Terror Castle of the Jupiter Moon Martians"]]), on the other hand, are in the style of a poster for a '50s sci-fi movie, as both chapters involve Dr. Disaster's retro sci-fi themed [[VirtualTrainingSimulation simulations]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Original]]
* The webseries ''WebVideo/AwesomeVideoGames'' once had their opening sequence [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etgk-kIOe44 taken over]] by the VideoGame/RoboticOperatingBuddy.
* On anniversaries or other milestone occasions, ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' does an extended opening or closing sequence with the full theme song and [[ContinuityCavalcade covers of each and every comic]] Linkara has reviewed up to that date. The ''Franchise/StarTrek'' #2 ([[Creator/GoldKeyComics Gold Key]]) episode, parodying Star Trek's MirrorUniverse, had a new title sequence featuring Mirror!Linkara intercut with some of the more violent scenes of [=AT4W=], and "[[Series/StarTrekEnterprise In a Mirror, Darkly]]"'s opening theme.
* Creator/BishopBarron:
** The episode "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF0JNwud9K0 On Bob Dylan]]" opens without the normal theme music and instead begins with "[[Music/TheFreewheelinBobDylan Blowin' In The Wind]]," a song Bishop Barron dissects in the rest of the video.
** To highlight the seriousness of its subject, the episode "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74ePNl1YT7o&list=LLPCU2SBmzwR5bDZuINlNZFg&index=144 On the Charleston Tragedy and Forgiveness]]" is the only one to open without any theme music.
* ''Series/FlandersCompany'': Season 3 episodes 7, 10 and 11 have the usual music and style of opening, except the title isn't "Flander's Company" but "C.C Corporation" instead, and the cast is from the latter society, since the episodes focus on them.
* ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'':
** When they interview Grant Kirkhope under the name "Guest Grumps", the intro is changed to match, along with the theme being replaced with an arrangement by Kirkhope and the "HEY I'M GRUMP!" "I'M NOT SO GRUMP!" exchange being altered as such:
---> '''Arin:''' [[MotorMouth Heydoyouwanttodothatthingwherehecomesonourshow?]]\\
'''Jon:''' [[BigNo NO!]]\\
'''Both:''' And this is Guest Grumps!
** Both it and its sister show ''WebVideo/SteamTrain'' adopted Halloween-themed intros in the last week of October 2013.
---> '''Arin:''' ''(dressed as Frankenstein's monster)'' Hey I'm ghoul!\\
'''Danny:''' ''(dressed as a vampire)'' ''Bleeeeh!''\\
'''Both:''' And we're the Ghoul Grumps!\\
''(Backmasked quote that [[CouchGag changes for every episode]])''\\
-\\
'''Danny:''' ''(as a zombie)'' We bought too many brains!\\
'''Ross:''' ''(unintelligibly, due to his dislocated jaw)'' Now we gotta eat them all...\\
'''Danny:''' SO ALL ABOARD THE ''SCREAM TRAIN!''\\
''(lightning followed by a scream)''
** On the week of Christmas 2013, they both had Christmas-themed intros.
---> '''Arin:''' ''(dressed as an elf)'' I wrap stuff!\\
'''Danny:''' ''(dressed as Santa Claus)'' I deliver that stuff!\\
'''Both:''' Naughty or nice, it's the Jingle Grumps!\\
-\\
''(In the tune of "Jingle Bells")''\\
'''Arin and Ross:''' ''(dressed as Rudolph and a snowman respectively)'' Playing lots of games\\
With Christmas type names\\
Instead of a train...\\
We're on a Steam Sleigh! Choo! Choo! Choo!
** On Valentine's Day 2014, they both had Valentine-themed intros.
---> '''Arin:''' Hey I'm Grumps! ''(Suzy kisses him)'' I'm not so Grump...\\
'''Arin and Suzy:''' And this is Date Grumps!\\
-\\
'''Danny:''' We don't have any dames!\\
'''Barry:''' Now it's another Friday...\\
'''Danny:''' SO ALL ABOARD THE- ''(music and singing stops)'' Ugh, fuck it. We're single on Valentine's Day.
** On St. Patrick's Day 2014, only Stream Train episodes were put up featuring Ross and Barry playing games while being drunk.
---> '''Barry:''' ''(slured)'' We bought too many beerz!\\
'''Ross:''' ''(also slured)'' Now I gotta drink them all!\\
'''Both:''' SO ALL ABOARD THE ''STOUT TRAIN!'' ''(Ross burps)''\\
'''Barry:''' I love you, man.
* ''WebVideo/JonTron'': For Halloween and Christmas specials, Jon's intro and theme song will be modified accordingly. The intro of the infamous "Apples and Breaks" short distorts heavily midway through before abruptly cutting off (to reflect Jon's [[HeroicBSOD state]] in the short proper).
* ''WebVideo/TheGameShowReviewer'': In the Family Feud episode [[spoiler:it's revealed that Cmd. Sara Stormer is a game show reviewer and is out to destroy the Game Show Reviewer to be the only Game Show Reviewer. This is complete with her own title sequence were she calls the Game Show Reviewer "a renegade."]]
* ''WebVideo/TheIrateGamer: I Rate the 80's'' becomes ''I Rate the 70's'' and adopts a St. Patrick's Day theme in the [[UsefulNotes/McDonalds Uncle O'Grimacey]] episode.
* In Episode 19B of ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale'' the regular theme song is replaced by a pleasant guitar tune which is the theme song for the Desert Bluffs community radio channel. It returns in Episodes 47 and 48 when [[spoiler: [=StrexCorp=] takes over Night Vale and assimilates it into the 'Greater Desert Bluffs Metropolitan Area']]. All three shows are hosted by Kevin.
* Similarly to the ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' example, ''WebVideo/StarTrekContinues'', a FanSequel to the ''Original Series'', had the episode "Fairest of Them All" set entirely in the Mirror Universe. The intro to said episode features a mix of the original theme with snare drums added, mirrored versions of the visuals of the intro, the Terran Empire's "sword through globe" logo added to the Star Trek logo, and a twist on Kirk's "Space... the final frontier..." speech.
-->Space... the final conquest. These are the voyages of the Starship ''Enterprise''. Its continuing mission: To discover and subjugate strange new worlds. To advance our dominion and vanquish all who stand against us. To conquer the galaxy for the glory of the Empire!
* ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'': The review for ''Film/Deadpool2'' has an opening with the usual visuals for Season 11, except it starts out with "Channel Unicorn" ("Now That's an Horny Horse") replacing the Website/ChannelAwesome logo, and the credits themselves are replaced by tongue-in-cheek parodies, right in the style of a ''Deadpool'' movie.
* ''WebVideo/TheSimpsums'': For "The Simpsons Guy", the show is presented as "[[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Fummary Guy]]", since the crossover was technically a ''Family Guy'' episode.
* ''WebVideo/GameXplain'' occasionally uses special logo animations when covering major games or events. Special mention goes to the animation made for videos related to [[MilestoneCelebration the 35th anniversary]] of ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'', first debuting in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSMQVGtnRBs Top 10 Hopes for Super Mario 3D All-Stars! (Besides Being Real...)]]" and occasionally used up until "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYn0bgAlgKw Mario Is Dead.]]", which [[spoiler:zooms in on the initial scene again to show Mario getting attacked by a Piranha Plant and a Thwomp]].
* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6E2mP01ZLH_kbAyeazCNdg Brave Wilderness]]'': The episodes focused on marine life will replace the orange and yellow logo in the intro with one that's in shades of blue instead. Also, the episodes themselves are hosted by Mark Vins (who's normally just the cameraman) rather than Coyote Peterson, since sea life is his [[ADayInTheLimelight personal specialty]].
