Need a cool and eye-catching way to display the title of your animated series? How about... a big neon sign! Oh, that doesn't work so well when drawn, does it? Well, never fear! Just send some sparks flying by having one of the characters pull the plug on the tile! Instant special effect zappy-ness! Now everyone will notice your sign! A standard gag is to have a character, bonus points if it's The Antagonist plugging/unplugging or twirling the plug while whistling. Alternatively, the letters burn out. Compare Cut the Juice, when an In-Universe electronic device is unplugged, and Signs of Disrepair, when removing or disabling letters from a sign gives a location some new, and often disturbing, context. Sub-Trope of Title Sequence. |

Ride the Cyclone: Since the kids had their accident at a fair, some iterations of the musical put a big multiple-lightbulb "Cyclone" sign at the top of the scenario. The poster◊ of the Arkansas presentation styles the title this way, with the C (and the L, to a lesser extent) covered in blood. | |

Johnny Test: The opening sequence includes a short scene of Johnny and Duke rocking. It ends with Duke jamming his guitar, fireworks exploding, and a glowing, multi-bulb, yellow sign that reads "Johnny Test". Johnny's sisters pull down a lever to reveal the show's logo. | |

Not Going Out: The title sequence shows the words as big multiple-lightbulb signs held up by Lee, Tim, and Kate. The lights go out when Barbara unplugs them. In subsequent series, it's Daisy, Tim's girlfriend, who unplugs them instead. | |

Melina KB: "Ex-Girlfriend": Inverted. In the music video, Melina (the current girlfriend) is competing against her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend both metaphorically (she was his long-time Childhood Friend Romance) and literally (in a track race). As a result of the latter, the song's title appears on the track's scoreboard as "ex-gf". The problem? While the scores are rendered in your typical LCD light bulbs, the words "Melina" and "ex-gf" are displayed in plain, non-glowing white letters. "I've Had Enough": Played With because it's not the title that glows but a key verse of the song's lyrics. The phrase "#Closed for the weekend" appears in several shots on a lit changeable-letters sign. |

Dexter's Laboratory: In the title sequence, Dee Dee puts the plug in at the last minute, causing the sign to short out from Dexter repeatedly pushing the remote button to get it working (presumably in a hurry before the title sequence ends). In one episode's second segment, it's Mandark who puts the plug in, creating the title "Mandark's Laboratory". The title is changed back to the usual one in the third segment. |
