Big-Lipped Alligator Moments

How about in the merger episode of Total Drama Action that suddenly goes into a parody of the 6teen opening? Given that the whole thing is supposed to be a Show Within A Show, it makes no sense whatsoever.
 
Qwaser of Stigmata fourteenth episode "The Melancholy of Tsujido Miyuri" was a Big Lipped Alligator Episode. Though to be fair, the manga chapter it was based on was a lot more fleshed out and made sense; the anime did a mediocre job adapting it and kind of left out a lot of points to make it relevant to the plot, so it ends up just being a really weird filler episode.
 
"But, I am the robot!" in Mlaatr's I Was a Preschool Dropout comes to mind, as well as the random singing-for-thirty-seconds-for-no-reason in Humiliation 101. Then there's the obnoxious song that comes out of nowhere in Escape from Cluster Prime.
Non-mlaatr wise, then there's this bit. I have no idea how to describe it. Notice how a lot of BLAM's are musical numbers?

2:26-2:51.
 
The horrible, silly "A Girl Worth Fighting For" musical number in Mulan, which abruptly turns on a dime into...a sequence of a Chinese village devastated by the Huns. :shrug: What a ridiculous shift of tones.

Also the "In The Dark Of The Night" number in Anastasia, but being a Bluth movie, that's to be expected. ;)
 
Um...the scene when Drake tells his "henhcmen" birds to go look for Hubie :confused:, Rocko surviving the Killer Whale encounter with no explanation :confused:, and I think Hubie's "squwak" that makes Rocko change his mindafter Hubie tells him Waldo isn't real....:D
 
There's soooo many for Quest for Camelot to point out, but the strangest BLAM to me was that 10 second fade-out scene where Ruber just picks all of that burned coal up and crushes them in his fist...:eek:
 
Based on this and your previous post, I'm not sure you understand exactly what a BLAM actually is.

A Big-Lipped Aligator moment comes out of nowhere, is completey over-the-top, has nothing to do with anything, and is never mentioned again. An understated ten-second scene that is clearly supposed to show us a character's emotional state is NOT a BLAM.
 
About half of Felix the Cat: The Movie, especially the part with a dinosaur that appears out of nowhere, does a Marlon Brando impression for no particular reason and then disappears. What an awesome scene!

I don't think the Dumbo scene really counts; it's logically set up and carefully executed.
 
In Heavy Traffic when those Grim Reaper-esque figures start pumping their mob boss full of lead and he keeps on talking as if nothing happened while blood pours out of the holes in his head.
