History Main / OverlyLongScream

* Used a lot in ''{{Siblings}}'''s first AprilFoolsDay cartoon called [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/489365 "Siblings Untitled 01"]], such as the part where Rob and Johny ride a mine cart to a tropical forest screaming. Also at the end, Rob does this before Johny smacks him in the head with a chair.

* ''BillAndTedsBogusJourney'': They fall down a pit to hell, screaming the whole way, but the pit is so deep that they eventually get tired of repeatedly screaming and start playing 20 questions.

* Vegeta's scream in DragonBallAbridged can be heard by Krillin and Gohan miles away, Goku in outer space, the Home for the Infinite Losers, and Trunks ''twenty years in the future''. An '''[[BeyondTheImpossible alternate]]''' future!

* A non-comedic example in ''Torchwood'' Series 2 episode ''Adrift'': a boy gets zapped through a spacetime rift and returns seven months later (but 40 years older). What he saw on the other end of the rift drives him mad and he ends up in a mental hospital screaming for ''twenty hours straight, every day''.

* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' has Lemongrab. This guy basically screams all the time as his default speaking voice, but this trope is invoked after he is pranked. In the scene, Finn and the princess leave a sign by his bed that says, "You really smell like dog buns." After he reads it, Lemongrab clenches his fists tightly, starts shaking, opens up his eyes wide, opens up his mouth wide, and screams loudly for several seconds, his tone rising in pitch until it cracks.

* The film version of ''RonjaTheRobbersDaughter'' has a [[http://youtu.be/N-YqaoFo8bw memorable one]].

* Walter in ''TheMuppets'', upon learning of the trouble his heroes' studio is in, screams across several short scenes. (Odd that nobody tried even to muffle him on the bus.)

* In ''CalvinAndHobbes'', Calvin does one upon learning that he is going to have Rosalyn as his baby sitter.
** He does an even longer one in [[http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1994/02/09 this strip]].

* Westley does it in ''Film/ThePrincessBride'', when Humperdink charges into the Pit of Despair and cranks Rugen's life-sucking machine all the way up to 11.

* ''{{Supernatural}}:'' In ''Hollywood Babylon'' this is one of the signs of how terrible the [[ShowWithinAShow fictional horror movie]] is.

* [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Sheen in ''JimmyNeutron'' when Jimmy finds out in the Bad Future that he is MARRIED to Cindy.

* Happened at least a couple of times in ''{{Freefall}}'', in accordance with Cap'n Sam Starfall's philosophy, "When in trouble, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout!" Helix is usually eager to join in. In one noteable incident near the beginning, the two of them are running in circles and screaming for long enough that they have to stop to take a deep breath (synchronized, even) before continuing. Florence comments on how inexplicable it is that Helix, who is a ROBOT, needs to stop for breath... Then she tears out his voicebox to shut him up, and offers to do the same to Sam if he doesn't quiet down.
