The regular result of a visit from a Salamander Demon.

  • The official sound effect of Adventurers! is "Foom!"
  • The standard method used in The Adventures of Dr. McNinja to dispose of anything the author finds inconvenient to draw, like airships.
  • In El Goonish Shive, The destruction of the first Goo ends this way and Abraham's awakening from his stone slumber begins this way.
  • Girl Genius: "Hee hee...Death ray go BOOM!"
  • In Heartcore, salamander demons are capable of making making highly explosive bombs out of their blood. As such, Carval and his parent demon Volaster invoke this trope (and Carval absolutely revels in it).
    • Volaster, being one of the most powerful ones, is capable of turning himself into a fiery nuke, able to take entire cities down with him.
  • Mario & Luigi: Cleanup Crew:Mario is introduced fighting a Piranha Plant that has somehow found its way to his toilet. Piranha Plants breathe fire. Do you know just how many flammable materials are in a bathroom?
  • So says Vaarsuvius from The Order of the Stick: "as the size of the explosion increases, the number of situations it is incapable of solving reaches zero".
  • Schlock Mercenary, constantly.
    • So often from an in-universe perspective that we get Maxim 3: "A demolition expert at a dead run outranks everyone."
    • Speaking of demolition "expert"... Lieutenant Pibald was on a ship captured by the UNS, so (semi-reasonably) decided to avoid capture by trying to blow up the UNS battleplate. It didn't work, but the resultant hole necessitated a comment on "filing an environmental impact statement." And for comparison, the first time impact statements were referenced? It was about the need for more paperwork after someone accidentally destroyed a moon. It took ten years to pull off. Piebald's attempt took 15 minutes and was in the middle of empty space....
  • In Sluggy Freelance, Mad Scientist Riff is convinced that explosives can solve anything.
  • Terror Island, Theorem 193 deserves mention.
    The Green Grocer: What would you say the opposite of being banned from shopping is? Being forced to shop? Being banned from selling? Banning someone else from shopping?
    Bizarro-Aorist: Exploding.
  • Twisted Tropes: Right after talking to Violet, Isobel Grey walks away and explodes suddenly and for no reason.
