Kazoos Mean Silliness | comment |
Aside from maybe a slide whistle, there are few musical instruments that are as associated with whimsy or comedy like a kazoo, mainly due to its unique buzzing tone. While many musicians have legitimately used kazoos as instruments, they're often used to either introduce an element of silliness into a piece of media or highlight the silliness that's already there, especially in works that aren't primarily music-based. They can also be used to lampshade or enhance a moment of Stylistic Suck. Theme Tunes are very good instances of this, especially if there's a transition from a more normal instrument to a kazoo. Remaking a piece of music using kazoos in part or entirely is also very effective. Comic relief characters also sometimes get associated with kazoo music, usually through a fanfare of some kind played on one or by starting to play one out of the blue. In the latter case, other characters who don't find this amusing may comment on the annoyance it creates. |

I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue: The game round "Swanee-Kazoo" revolves around trying to recreate famous tunes, such as "Winter Wonderland", with a swanee whistle and a kazoo, with predictably zany results. (Generally speaking, though, whoever is playing the kazoo will have the job of actually holding the tune together, since the swanee whistle has a harder time hitting the correct notes.) | |

Joueur du Grenier: In the second RPG special, the segment on the The Lord of the Rings SNES game has Frodo recruit Pippin, playing the triumphant theme from the films, which almost instantly degenerates into a butchered kazoo version as Pippin's Artificial Stupidity takes over and he heads in the opposite direction from Frodo. In the second joke FAQ video, one fan asks if Seb and Fred play any instruments. Cue a sketch where Seb starts elegantly playing a cello… and then Fred comes to accompany him with a kazoo. |

Sofia the First: Prince James' favourite childhood toy was a kazoo, which he often used to blow in his twin sister Amber's face. In the episode "Two Princesses and a Baby", a de-aged James, now a goofy toddler due to a magical mishap, finds the kazoo again and resumes this action, to Amber's annoyance. However, after baby-James accidentally breaks the kazoo, Amber ultimately seeks out the royal sorcerer Cedric to use magic to repair it and return it to him (as his regular self) as a birthday present. | |

Batman: The Animated Series: In "The Man Who Killed Batman", as the coffin containing Sid is rolled into the acid vat, Harley Quinn plays "Amazing Grace" on the kazoo. Word of God is that during this scene, the crew were cracking up laughing while Arleen Sorkin played, the rest of the cast lost it once she stopped, and Paul Dini was very happy that she nailed it in one take as he didn't think they'd be able to keep themselves composed for future takes if she hadn't. | |

The Whiskey Vault: One of the show's Running Gags is that for Titans of Whiskey who have repeatedly contributed whiskeys to the show after getting the title, their intro video is increasingly sped up. However, once the "speed" got to 10X and beyond, it was eventually replaced by a hilariously low-budget remake of the video, which included the background music being recreated (badly) with a kazoo. | |

During their tenure as a duo, Edge and Christian used kazoos for comedy bits. They started out playing their intro themes during a birthday party for Stephanie McMahon, then did Triple H's theme when he yelled at them to quit. They would bring out the kazoos for such bits later on, and in 2015, they even got Steve Austin to join in during his podcast, playing Austin's theme music on their kazoos while he joined them on a ukelele. | |

South Park: The B plot of "Margaritaville" has Stan trying to return Randy's Margaritaville margarita mixer, with his quest taking him all the way to the US Treasury, whose members "consult the charts" regarding economic problems...by cutting the head off a chicken and letting it run around a floor labelled with different options while one of the members plays a "Yakety Sax"-style tune on a kazoo until the chicken finally falls over dead. | |

Mary Poppins: The penguins' entrance is accompanied by a kazoo, which was played by composer Richard M. Sherman and then sped up to make it sound sillier. | |

2 Stupid Dogs's theme is played on kazoo, foreshadowing the silliness on the show proper. | |

Referenced in The Long Dark Teatime Of The Soul, when the Lemony Narrator describes the Leg Focus of Kate emerging from The Alleged Car by saying a soundtrack editor would stick a Sexophone over this, but it would be drowned out by the kazoo he'd put over the car. | |

Ghost (Band): During Papa Emeritus III's time as the band's singer, they occasionally did acoustic performances of their cover of Roky Ericson's "If You Have Ghosts" and their songs "Jigolo Har Megiddo" and "Ghuleh/Zombie Queen". For the latter song, Papa would play the keyboard parts on a kazoo, lending a song about an undead ruler an odd air of silliness. He would also dramatically announce it as "the Kazoo of Destiny" when it came out. | |

Vampire Survivors announced its Tides of the Foscari DLC just in time for April Fools' Day, and as such, its trailer's majestic fantasy music is played on kazoo. The DLC of course is quite real and has a proper soundtrack, but it also includes kazoo versions of every track, in case you were taking the game too seriously. | |

The Little Mermaid (1989): When King Triton enters, he's introduced with a triumphant brass fanfare. Sebastian the crab is then introduced with the same fanfare, only played on kazoo, establishing him as the film's main Comedic Relief Character. | |

Infinity Train: Voyage of Wisteria: A minor character named Leaf remarks that, after an incredibly undignified victory (an hours-long Wobbuffet softlock that ended when her opponent had to use the bathroom) she heard kazoos playing during her trophy acceptance. | |
