* ''Literature/VitaNuova'': After a series of rather domestic poems about the beauty of a kind woman, the FeverDreamEpisode suddenly employs apocalyptic and spiritual imagery to describe how [[Creator/DanteAlighieri Dante]] wished to die after facing his love's mortality.

* ''Website/TheOnion'': A variant that's more unexpectedly ''serious'' than anything. While many of Creator/StanKelly's political comics touch on heavy issues, they're invariably handled intentionally poorly and not meant to be taken seriously -- being full of over-the-top strawmen, unnecessary labels, and so on. However, [[https://www.theonion.com/september-12-2011-1819590425 the comic for September 12th, 2011]] forgoes most of the usual jokes in favor of a straightforward question about [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror the 9/11 attacks]], with even Stan's AuthorAvatar (the only RunningGag left) seeming uncharacteristically earnest:
-->''10 years later, America wonders...''\\
'''Uncle Sam:''' I-is it okay to ''laugh again''?\\
'''Stan:''' Or is it too soon to ask?

* ''Series/StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds'' season 2 goes through a CerebusRollercoaster, but this trope comes into play with "[[Recap/StarTrekStrangeNewWorldsS2E08UnderTheCloakOfWar Under the Cloak of War]]", which deals with M'Benga and the PTSD associated with being involved with [[Series/StarTrekDiscovery the Federation-Klingon War]], especially with a Klingon on board involved with the war. What makes this even more Unexpected is that this episode occurred between [[Recap/StarTrekStrangeNewWorldsS2E07ThoseOldScientists a crossover episode]] and [[Recap/StarTrekStrangeNewWorldsS2E09SubspaceRhapsody a musical episode]].

** The storyline now called "Death of a Prince" began innocuously as Aqualad went missing on a quest for his family, Aquaman went to find him and found Black Manta had kidnapped him, Topo the octopus, and his toddler son Arthur Jr., which wasn't unusual for the time period or preceding stories. Then Manta revealed he'd encased the baby in air to suffocate and would force them to fight to the death to save him, and even after a solution was found, [[DeathOfAChild Arthur Jr. died]].

* ''[[WesternAnimation/NoddysToylandAdventures Noddy]]'': The 1951 book ''Here Comes Noddy Again'' involves the titular character getting lost in The Dark Woods and getting carjacked by a group of Gollywogs ([[{{Bowdlerise}} Goblins in later editions]]) and has all his clothes stolen in the process. He ends up discovering Big Ears' house where he allows Noddy to stay at his home until he and Mr Plod catches The Gollywogs/Goblins and retrieves Noddy's clothes and hat. Compared to the other Noddy books, this book has gained some controversy in the United Kingdom causing animated adaptations to tone down the violent elements of the story.

** Chapter 164 goes from a FestivalEpisode to a horror story, as Matsuri falls foul of a JerkassGod who takes advantage of her wish that the members of the harem who've come to the festival with her could enjoy the festival forever, and overwrites their personalities so they ''only'' enjoy being at the festival and nothing else, [[GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul complete with unchanging smiles]]. [[spoiler:He really shouldn't have left Matsuri out though, because when she starts crying, Rentarou is immediately by her side, resisting the mind control so he can take down whoever's made his girlfriend cry, [[StaringDownCthulhu and proceeds to terrify the god into submission]]]].

** Volume 4's extra chapter features Mei's backstory and why she's so loyal to Hahari, which inclues Mei being thrown out by abusive parents and collapsing in the snow outside the Hanazono household. When Mei wonders why Hahari even cares, Hahari encourages her to live and later took her in. Humor is still present as, before going into the tale, Mei warns everyone that it was cut from the main story because it clashed too heavily with the manga's normal tone, but is willing to do so in the extra chapter, and Hahari breaks the somber mood by revealing she did everything she did because of how cute Mei was. Mei is, predictably, overjoyed by the praise.

** Chapters 134-135 is easily the soberest story in this GagSeries thus far, more than even Hahari's introduction in Vol. 3 (which was still peppered with zany jokes throughout). Most of the harem [[ShooOutTheClowns make only background cameos in the first part and are completely gone in the second]], the conflict in Shizuka's family is played deadly straight, and the few jokes are ''very'' gentle and low-key.
