* One scene in SayonaraZetsubouSensei has the titular teacher, Itoshiki Nozomu, walk on a beach towards the ocean, look up, see a giant squid with BigOlEyebrows emerge from the water, wherepon he tenderly mumbles "Mother"... Of course, this scene is par for the course for Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, so it might actually be more accurate to say that this trope applies to roughly 50% of the anime's entire screen-time.
* The final scene of the EndOfEvangelion movie. No explanation is given and no explanation will quite fit around the giant bag full of symbolism that it drags along with it.

* The Mochi strips in ''AxisPowersHetalia'', which feature Himaruya/[[AuthorAvatar Estonia]]'s new pets: rice cakes that look and (sort of) act like other nations. In one strip, Mochicanada ate Mochimerica's daddy, a Lettuce that wanted to take over the world, and was proclaimed to be [[GratuitousEnglish "The greatest country!"]]. And that was one of the ''less'' nonsensical strips! There's also the end of the HetaliaBloodbath2010, which managed to be this, [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming heartwarming]], and [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesome]] at the same time.

* Near the end of the first ''{{Hellsing}}'' anime, the main villain catches Alucard's bullets with his head by phasing it. He then [[spoiler:sends the bullet flying back down the barrel of the gun, somehow causing it to explode all the bullets into Alucard and reduce him to a pile of blood]]. Then again, this is a show about [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot gun-wielding vampires]].
