* ''VideoGame/Tekken8'': In the game's story mode, during TheWarSequence, Kuma attempts to get the drop on Paul. As the music swells during Kuma's charge, a stray rocket blindsides the bear, blowing him away as the music deflates spectacularly. When Paul rushes to Kuma's side, mistakingly believing Kuma was TakingTheBullet for him, a poorly-performed version of the game's main theme plays on a recorder.

* ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians'': North has a band of elves play a salute to Jack as they ask him to become a Guardian, which he has no interest in. He is frustrated by them not listening to his protests, and eventually makes a blast of cold air which freezes the elves and makes them stop playing. North still ignores him and they start again, but then Jack says "No music!" and the music grinds to a halt again. One of the elves then throws down his horn in annoyance.

Added DiffLines:

* The Japanese Room Escape game '' [[VideoGame/TerminalHouse Charisma]]'' has a J-Pop singer stuck in a recording studio, and your sound mixer won't let you out until you perform a song. If you choose to sing before solving all the puzzles, your character will sound laughably off key. Then the mixer slams a buzzer switch, forcing you to try again.

During the final movement, each member of the orchestra gets up, one by one, and leaves the stage, whittling down to a final, barely audible violin finish. Haydn and his orchestra were chafing at being held at their patron prince's summer castle while leaving their wives at home.

* A [[PlayedForDrama version]] appears in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'', during the second-last chapter of the storybook. The music plays as normal, a calm, soothing nursery tune, even during the scene where the unnamed girl living at the observatory gets homesick, being particularly sorry she can't visit her favorite tree. Then [[spoiler:we find out the reason she's so attached to the tree is because her [[MissingMom beforehand unmentioned mother]] is buried under it]]. Cue the music stopping, and not coming back until the next chapter.
