| Mundane Ghost Story | comment |
A mundane ghost story is a scary story involving rational worries rather than implausible phobias. Someone tells a Ghost Story in classic fashion, probably around a campfire or with a flashlight aimed up under the face, only the ghost story is about something that is not really scary in the traditional nightmare sense: being stuck in a loveless marriage, living an unfulfilling life, sexual inadequacy, and so on. This is usually played for laughs, avoiding anything involving physical pain or death, dealing with something sillier like having to wear a stupid outfit to school, having a bad haircut, or eating something that tastes terrible. This type of scary story usually bypasses fantastic and/or supernatural horrors found in the common ghost story, for something that tends to actually happen in real life to sane people. |

In "Meteor Shower" from Pete the Cat, everyone is having trouble staying awake. Callie says that she has trouble sleeping when she's scared. She thinks a scary story will keep them awake, so she tells a "scary story." | |

The Simpsons: The season eight episode "The Springfield Files" (the Bizarro Episode-cum-crossover episode with The X-Files that had Leonard Nimoy narrating it for the first two acts) had Homer and Bart out in the woods in search of the alien. Bart asks Homer if he can have some beer, with Homer telling him that beer is only for "...daddies and kids with fake IDs note Ironic, considering that Bart had a fake ID on a previous episode and ultimately refrained from buying beer with it" then Homer suggests that they tell ghost stories to pass the time. This was Bart's: There is an alternate scene on the season eight DVD set in which the original mundane horror story was about the contents of an Oscar Meyer wiener, with Homer reacting the same way. A carnival "house of horrors" ride presents an old woman in a rocking chair who says, "Behold! The ravages of age!" |

In "Franklin's Campout" from Franklin and Friends, Mr. Turtle tells Franklin a story, of which we only hear the ending: "And that is why you always have to brush your teeth before you to go to bed!" Franklin complains that it wasn't scary, nor even a ghost story. He says he'll save himself for next time. Notably, the series itself is inconsistent on whether or not turtles, anthropomorphic ones anyway, even have teeth. | |

There was a particularly disturbing (by its standards) The Family Circus Sunday strip with Jeffy asking his dad about monsters, the dad assuring him there were none, and the final frame showing the dad walking out of Jeffy's room with Not Me ghosts marked "taxes", "recession" and "war" floating around him. | |

Done in The Big Bang Theory, where at the ending of "The Adhesive Duck Deficiency" Raj was finishing up what seems to be your standard campsite ghost story (complete with flashlights to the face), only for the twist ending to be "He slept with his cousin!" (a Call-Back to Howard admitting that he'd unknowingly done just that during his youth), and proceeded to laugh hysterically, with a humiliated Howard telling them that it wasn't funny to begin with. | |

These include Pig's dream about a being forced to sign way too many autographs after a ballet performance until she becomes exhausted, and Moose's dreams about being unable to find matching color antler mittens and not having enough honey for his blueberry corn muffin. | |

Pinky and the Brain has Brain telling a group of campers a 'horrifying' story about a mathematician accidentally calculating the largest known prime number, which ends up putting the kids to sleep. (In fact, such a thing would be legitimately frightening, as it would allow hackers to easily bypass most data encryption methods. But it's not clear if the writers of the episode were aware of that at the time.) | |

Seinfeld had the similar scenario of Frank Costanza's war story: He was the cook for his unit, but the shipment of food he received was expired. In his hubris, he thought he could compensate for this with just the right seasoning, but he "over seasoned" and made the food too spicy, causing the troops to get sick. He was so scarred by this that he vowed never to cook again. It Runs in the Family. His son George's life is so tragic that a short list of things that had happened to him on the show was able to get him more pity than the survivor of a famous shipwreck. |

Saturday Night Live had a skit where Stuart Smalley tells a "scary story" that starts out like the urban legend about the babysitter getting calls from inside the house. Instead of vague threats the person on the phone just incoherently rambles for a few minutes, and as it turns out it's the girl's drunk father. Stuart says they stage an intervention for him. | |

Lorelai certainly has some supernatural elements (like coming back to life and exploring the world after death), but the true horror comes from the mundane situation of a horrific, abusive man that laughs at his wife's suicide, and kills three people, including a baby. | |

The Yuletide ghost stories in Kingdom of Loathing usually do involve ghosts, but most of them have incredibly mundane endings, like an Indian Burial Ground being dealt with by lawyers, but cursing all burgers cooked on the site to be raw on the inside but burnt on the outside. | |

Some Creepypastas deal with this. Sometimes, they're played for laughs. Other times...not so much...: "Spencer's Last Prank" is a story about a worker at a Soul-Sucking Retail Job named Spencer who decides to prank his coworkers by climbing into the cardboard compactor to give them a Jump Scare. Unfortunately, another worker named Connor, not realizing Spencer is inside, turns the machine on, fatally crushing him. Rather understandably, Conner is ridden with guilt over it. "I discovered something horrible on an old family VHS tape" sounds like it's about someone finding a family VHS tape that is cursed. Nope, what the protagonist finds is an accidentally recorded moment of domestic abuse from his father; abuse that was so severe and traumatic that he repressed the memory of it. |
