''[[Art/TheScreamEdvardMunch The Scream]]'' (also known as ''Shriek'') refers to a very popular trio of artworks by Creator/EdvardMunch, the first one of which was first released in 1893. The artworks have thus proven to be so popular that they are some of the most widely parodied pieces of art in the world, fictional or otherwise. Said parodies usually use a form of TheScream and have the character screaming against an odd (though usually red) coloured background. The general purpose of the parody is usually either to highlight that the character is disturbed in some particular way or even as a RuleOfSymbolism (such as anxiety or existential dread). Some versions of this parody may even undergo an ArtShift (usually into the oil, pastel, and tempera-esque design) to better reflect the style of the most known version of the painting. Sometimes, the other people depicted in the background of the painting may play a key role, usually as a character that the other one hates or has some relation to, and who are sometimes the reason why they are screaming like that.

Added DiffLines:

* In Episode 12 of the anime adaptation of ''Literature/RunWithTheWind'', "The Scream" painting is parodied twice by members. First is when the twins find out the "moist air" they're feeling is actually Prince's vomit (they're being driven in a van and have their heads out the windows), which horrifies them and warrants the pose and screeching. The second time is when the team is looking for Musa and Shindou at night time, and what they think are bears come rushing at them--cue the terrified poses and yelling from every member minus Haiji, as the "bears" (actually Musa and Shindou) zoom past them and crash into the van.
* Happens in the ''Anime/AllPurposeCulturalCatGirlNukuNuku'' OVA. Kyuusaku exploits Akiko's desire to be a good mother to Ryuunosuke by getting her to do all the household chores; the penny finally drops when she realizes her situation is no different to when she was living apart from them, and she pulls The Scream pose.
* Harima from ''Manga/SchoolRumble'' turned into ''The Scream'' when Yakumo showed no fear toward the manga editor.

* Used in one of ''Series/{{Coupling}}''`s many point-of-view gags - we see a scene twice, once from Sally's perspective and once from Patrick's. Sally thinks she's seen the eponymous Munch painting on the wall and mutters about how she hates it - when we see it from Patrick's perspective, however, we see that she was very drunk and it is in fact a mirror...
