* Chapter 12 of ''Webcomic/RitsukaFujimaruDoesntGetIt'' features Maid Artoria Alter showing up and exploding everything as [[DeadlyEuphemism cleanup]] for all of Fujimaru's unused inventory. Fujimaru then complains that endings where everything explodes are the worse.

* ''Series/FraggleRock'' has an episode where Junior Gorg is grudgingly helping his parents with the spring cleaning. Meanwhile, Boober is braving the Gorgs' garden to dispose of a soup that makes things invisible but also causes rockquakes. Junior stops him, grabs the soup, and throws it over his shoulder, causing an explosion that blows up all the junk in the yard. The Gorgs and their castle are fine, though.
-->'''Junior:''' Well, Ma, that's one way of getting rid of the trash!

--> " I don't know haw it ends. Maybe an explosion." *BOOM*

* [[http://safebooru.donmai.us/posts/747138 This]] ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' doujin explains how to wrap up your story if you run out of ideas.

* The film adaptation of ''Film/VForVendetta'' ends with Evey blowing up Parliament with V's Subway Train filled with Explosives, both to honor his last wish to avenge the years of torture he had suffered from their experiments, and to help free London from its corrupt government. Doubles as a [[BookEnds Book End]] since the film started with an early explosion as well, with V blowing up the ''Old Bailey''.

* ''VideoGame/MedalOfHonor'':
** ''VideoGame/MedalOfHonorAlliedAssault'': The base game ends as Fort Schmerzen is consumed by explosions and is reduced to rubble, with Lt. Powell, the other {{Ranger}}s, and the Allied [=POW=]s escaping on their commandeered train. ''Breakthrough'', meanwhile, ends with the Monte Battaglia Castle being pounded into rubble by American B-17 Flying Fortresses, with Baker and his fellow soldiers successfully fleeing the battlefield.
** ''VideoGame/MedalOfHonorAirborne'': [[spoiler:Following Setzer's and Wirth's deaths]], Travers is forced to destroy [[EvilTowerOfOminousness Der Flakturm]] with the [[PlungerDetonator Hellbox]] that Setzer had set to trigger the explosives in the tower's ammunition store in the basement. The end result? A series of massive explosions destroying the tower's interior, and a massive fireball exiting the main ground floor entrance. The game itself ends shortly afterward, with more American paratroopers arriving to reinforce Travers.
* The bad ending of ''VideoGame/SlySpy'' briefly depicts major landmarks getting replaced by nuclear blasts.
* Whenever a level is completed in {{VideoGame/Broforce}}, the ground and buildings explode as whichever Bros were able to get on the helicopter fly away... if the helicopter doesn't explode itself, that is.

* In ''VideoGame/KillItWithFire'', [[spoiler: a nuclear bomb is activated in the final level in order to get rid all of the spiders.]]

This is an example of StuffBlowingUp. Also compare DropTheCow.

* The ''Machinima/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers'' episode "[=SM64=]: Meet the Steve" ends with the castle blowing up. Apparently this is subverted because Steve was responsible for it.
-->'''Bomb:''' ''(in female robot voice)'' Bomb deactivated.
-->'''Mario:''' Yaaaaaay!
-->'''[=SMG4=]:''' Yaaaaaay!
-->''[[{{beat}} Short beat]]''
-->'''Bomb:''' JUST KIDDING ME!
-->''The entire castle explodes, while Steve in his Evil Steve costume walks out.''
-->'''Steve:''' Yay.
* The [[SeriesFauxnale initial Series Finale]] of ''Machinima/ArbyNTheChief'' ended this way for Season 7. Chief, [[AnArmAndALeg after being ripped apart by Arbiter]] [[AccidentalMurder for murdering Cortana]], announces his plan to end their suffering by blowing up Jon's Apartment, while they're still inside. Arbiter, having already crossed the DespairEventHorizon [[DrivenToSuicide by attempting to kill himself earlier]], solemnly agrees and doesn't resist. Allowing him and Chief to be killed in the ensuing explosion. [[spoiler:[[BackFromTheDead Season 8 however soon rectified this]]]].
