History BLAM / WesternAnimation

-->'''Presenter''': [[LampshadeHanging What does that have to do with ANYTHING?!]]
-->'''GIR''': Me and the squirrel are friends!

* Creator/TheBBC Christmas animation ''The First Snow of Winter'' is the story of an Irish duckling who gets seperated from his family while flying south, and is befriended by a water vole. About ten minutes in, for no real reason, Voley and Sean start line-dancing. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGwrVECXu6c&feature=related And then an entire flock of sheep joins in]]. At the end of the scene they spin around to look at the sheep grazing as if even ''they're'' wondering whether that really just happened.

** This is then immediately followed by ''another'' BLAM where right before Dil is born, the movie [[ArtShift cuts]] to a brief ConspicuousCG montage of the history of the universe from the big bang to the pyramids.

** In "Shanghaied", when the Flying Dutchman tells [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick that he's going to eat them instead of keeping them on his crew any longer, they decide to make a break for it, but the only way out of the crew's quarters is through a live-action perfume department where they're repeatedly sprayed with samples until they make it to the end.

---> "What the fuck…"

** There's also the time when Chowder was trying to get Mung to try his nauseating new dish, "foofinscoops". Mung balks at the prospect. The camera then cuts back to Chowder, who is suddenly in drag, with a blonde wig and makeup, and he says "Pretty please?" in a sultry voice. Mung shouts "WHAT THE-?!?" One second later Chowder is back to his normal appearance and voice and it's never mentioned again.

* [[WesternAnimation/ThunderCats1985 Thundercats 1985 animated series]] had quite a number of weird moments in most of chapters written by William Overgard, but the most bizarre one happens near the end of "Jackalman's Rebellion". Right after the mentioned rebellion fails, Jackalman goes back to Castle Plun-Darr, asking for forgiveness and to be accepted as part of the Mutants once again, while being mocked and rebuked by them. All of this while being watched in video by Wilykit and Wilykat, without any explanation of how they can spy on them, when exactly did they sneak a camera in there nor why didn't they use it to avoid future Mutants' attacks.

-->'''Klaus:''' [[YearInsideHourOutside I was gone sixty years]]; how long was it here?
-->'''Roger:''' What? Where'd you go?
-->'''Klaus:''' I don't know, but wherever it was, I am their king now.

** In the the first episode "[[Recap/SouthParkS1E1CartmanGetsAnAnalProbe Cartman Gets an Anal Probe]]" Cartman yells that he did not have a probe then all of a sudden the visitors zap him and he starts singing 'WesternAnimation/ILoveToSinga!' before being zapped back to normal, the boys are speechless. After the credits, cows are seen using a device given to them by the aliens on Officer Barbrady, who starts singing the same thing Cartman did.

* One of the Henry and June wraparounds in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam!'' had June going to sing a pretty song, and saying how she wanted to make the show "intimate". She also said that without Henry on the show (this is the episode where he quits temporarily), she wanted to "spread her wings", but what did that do with the plot? The song was nice, the scene was funny, but what did it have to do with the episode? The scene never got mentioned again, but only one small remain- after the following short and the commercials, June was wearing a neckbrace (she crashed into the fourth wall), but it suddenly disappeared by the final wraparound. Plus, it was very out of character for her.

* The ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' episode "Clean Slate" has a scene where Kim bumps into a girl named Katlyn, who tells her she's Kim's biggest fan and asks for her autograph. This comes out of nowhere and is never brought up again. {{Justified|Trope}} in that Katlyn [[ContestWinnerCameo was a kid whose wish from the Make-A-Wish Foundation was to appear in a episode of the show]].

* ''Disney/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'' has the horrifying [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLnADKgurvc Heffalumps and Woozles song]]. Pooh wakes up afterwards, and the plot continues with no further reference to the dream, or even of Heffalumps and Woozles' existence in general.

* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' episode "Toy Palace" features a huge Thorg toy in a toy store falling and being transported by a ''functioning time machine in the store''. The fact that TimeTravel is real in ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' is never mentioned again. Talk about ReedRichardsIsUseless.
* The ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' episode "Clean Slate" has a scene where Kim bumps into a girl named Katlyn, who tells her she's her biggest fan and asks for her autograph. This comes out of nowhere and is never brought up again. {{Justified|Trope}} in that Katlyn [[ContestWinnerCameo was a kid who's wish from the Make-A-Wish Foundation was to appear in a episode of the show]].
* Too many to list in ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether''. The show has characters [[NegativeContinuity die and come back to life in the same episode]], so their deaths qualify as this. WordOfGod says nothing in this show happens for any reason [[RuleOfFunny other than to be funny]] so this is inevitable.
* ''WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries'' "Rapunzel and the Great Tree," an otherwise serious two-parter delving into the MythArc about the Sundrop/Moonstone and Rapunzel's approaching destiny, features a DisneyAcidSequence where Eugene and Lance get separated from the group and exposed to some sort of hallucinogen by a plant that wants to eat them, and sing a song about how they're the best of friends. It features visuals like Eugene's eyes becoming butterflies and flying away and Lance growing rabbit ears that he plucks off (to 'lend an ear' to Eugene's troubles). While the show is no stranger to musical numbers, they tend to be more rooted in reality (at least, they're consistent with the tone of the show) and don't rely on cartoonish gags. Even the subject matter of the song (Eugene and Lance's friendship) doesn't go on to feature into the episode or arc, since the relationships that get focus are Rapunzel/Cassandra, Rapunzel/Eugene, and even Eugene/[[spoiler:Eugene's DisappearedDad]]. It sort of feels like they threw it in to remind us that Lance ''is'' Eugene's friend, since there hadn't been any real focus on that dynamic since the season premiere. And even when the titular Great Tree becomes hostile, nothing about its attack draws from the abilities it demonstrates here.

** {{Invoked|Trope}} and {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in "I Had an Accident". After being torn in half by a [[RogerRabbitEffect live-action gorilla]], [=SpongeBob=] wonders [[LampshadeHanging "What's a gorilla doing underwater in the first place?"]]. The gorilla tries to explain himself, then shouts "[[ScrewThisImOuttaHere George, they're on to us!]]" and rides away on a pantomime zebra. A live-action scene of a confused family watching the episode is shown, with the father turning off the TV afterwards.

** In "The Great Patty Caper", when trying to find who stole the key to the safe deposit box containing the Krabby Patty formula, Patrick accuses the third suspect of being a werewolf. Out of nowhere, a guy walks on screen, turns into a werewolf under a full moon, and runs off.

** [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/spongebob/images/d/d9/The_Play%27s_the_Thing_192.png/revision/latest?cb=20190916013924 Plankton's cameo being amongst objects being thrown at SpongeBob and Squidward]] in "The Play's The Thing". Nobody ever speaks of his presence and it's not brought up again.

** At the end of "Squilliam Returns", amid the end of the episode's chaos, Patrick and Mr. Krabs run out of the kitchen bound in rope and Mr. Krabs alerts the customers of the Appetizer, a creature who comes out afterwards, causing the customers to panic and run out. The Appetizer is never brought up again.

* One ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' episode has a scene where Kim bumps into a girl named Katlyn, who tells her she's her biggest fan and asks for her autograph.

''WesternAnimation/{{Clarence}}'' [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment/{{Clarence}} now has its own page]].

* The ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' episode where Kim bumps into a girl named Katlyn, who tells her she's her biggest fan and asks for her autograph. Not much is said about it afterwards. {{Justified|Trope}} in that Katlyn [[ContestWinnerCameo was a kid who's wish from the Make-A-Wish Foundation was to appear in a episode of the show]].
