| Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony | comment |
This is where there is a ceremony to celebrate the completion of some edifice, like a bridge, road, building, ship, etc. Although ships are different in that they don't have a ribbon cutting but a champagne bottle breaking. This ceremony usually has a large red ribbon tied between the front doors or arches of said edifice, huge scissors and a politician who cuts the ribbon while announcing that the X is now open. A similar related event is a ground-breaking ceremony, which indicates the start of a building project about to get underway. Truth in Television, it's a great publicity event for those involved. Actual ribbon not necessary. |

The Smurfs: In "The Last Smurfberry", Papa Smurf christens the S.S. Smurf II upon its launch by breaking a bottle against its bow, which takes him a few tries before the bottle breaks. In "The Fake Smurf", Papa Smurf cuts the ribbon when he inaugurates the newly-completed bridge over the River Smurf. |

Megamind opens and ends with these. The film starts (after Megamind's Origin Story) with Metro Man cutting the ribbon to his museum with Eye Beams. The ceremony gets interrupted by Megamind. At the end, the museum has been re-dedicated to the reformed Megamind, who cuts the ribbon with a Lightning Gun. | |

In one issue of Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics), Robotnik was getting ready to cut a ribbon for some sort of ceremony. At that moment, the Freedom Fighters (minus Sonic, who is stuck in the past) charge onto the scene and start attacking the robot soldiers. Robotnik responds "Oh no! I can't escape! Mother told me never to run with scissors!" | |

In one episode of Fillmore!, a ribbon-cutting ceremony to open a new bathroom provides a vital clue: The girl cutting the ribbon used her left hand and was wearing a glove, indicating that she was left-handed and that she had a marker stain on her wrist from vandalizing the bathrooms. | |

In A Hard Day's Night, John Lennon plays with the ribbon-cutting ceremony, cutting a tailor's measuring tape... In the movie, John says "I now declare this bridge open!" as he cuts the ribbon, but in unseen takes before that, he'd ceremoniously cut the ribbon for other (ridiculous) places, such as a "fish and chips shop." |

Shrek the Third: Shrek attempts to christen a newly made ship via the standard shattering of a wine bottle. Unfortunately, he accidentally pushes the ship away from the dock by leaning against it too hard before he can finish the ceremony. Desperate, Shrek tosses the wine bottle at the ship so hard it breaks a hole in the hull, sinking the ship and somehow causing the sails to burst into flames. | |

The Simpsons In "I'm Going To Praiseland", when Ned opens Praiseland, Mayor Quimby drives up in his limo, simply pokes his head out of the window and says, "It is with, uh, great pride that I dedicate this new school, sports arena or attraction." The mayor cuts the ribbon and just drives off. In "Lisa the Beauty Queen", the Simpsons are watching Little Miss Springfield inaugurate the new safety spikes in front of a tire store. There she is struck by lightning, leaving runner-up Lisa as the new Little Miss Springfield. |

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1978): The radio series has a champagne-bottle-breaking ceremony for the bypass being built through Arthur's house. Marvin tells a story about how he was invited to do the opening ceremony of a new bridge through a swamp. Unfortunately he caused the bridge to get so depressed that immediately after he opened it it sank into the swamp. |

Freefall's Sam Starfall went to such a ceremony at the Museum of Lichen. To perform his "civic duty", he yoinked the pair of scissors and proceeded to run with them. They eventually gave back the scissors and cut out of there. Also, Sam christens "The Savage Chicken" using a mixture of highly explosive moonshine and "expensive" wine in a plastic bottle. The ship's computer was not pleased. |

The 25th season premiere of Sesame Street included a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new playground around the corner from 123 Sesame Street. The problem was, as soon as Biff knocked the wall down, Big Bird and his friends started playing on the playground before the official ceremony could take place. | |

Call the Midwife: Violet Buckle can be counted to do these about once per series ever since being elected to the Tower Hamlets Borough Council in Series 9 (1964). She even has designated ribbon-cutting shears—though this is a wink to her trade as a haberdasher (in which she uses shears to cut rather more mundane ribbons for dresses and little girls' hair) as much as it is a funny local-politician thing. | |

Jed can't understand why, after three people use one shovel to make one small hole, why everyone else left. He and Jethro then proceed to make a bank "building" using the lumber from a small pile already at the site.

In One Piece, when the Straw Hat Pirates reach the entrance of the Grand Line, they do this ceremony where they kick off a keg of rum while reciting their hopes and dreams. A reader asked Oda about it, and Oda claimed that it was akin to christening a ship with a bottle of champagne, and how it went would be good or bad fortune for the ship. He included a mini-comic about Kaya christening the Going Merry, but instead of breaking, the bottle broke off its neck. The Merry would eventually sink after the Enies Lobby Arc. | |

Futurama: The page quote comes from the episode "Brannigan Begin Again". The Planet Express crew arrives at the new Democratic Order of Planets (D.O.O.P.) headquarters in orbit around the Neutral Planet, in order to deliver the oversized scissors for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Zapp Brannigan destroys the entire station by attempting to use his ship's laser to cut the ribbon, instead of using the scissors. In "A Flight to Remember", the christening of the Spaceship Titanic is done by smashing a jar that held Leonardo DiCaprio's head, rather than a champagne bottle. |

Sonic the Hedgehog: In the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog episode, "Sonic Gets Thrashed", Robotnik plans to open a luxury resort, with the intent to trap the citizens of Mobius inside it and enslave them. On the day of the grand opening, Sonic, Tails, and the robots of Scrap Valley sabotage Robotnik's plan so that the resort will collapse when he cuts the ribbon (and it does). In the Sonic Boom episode, "Nutwork", Mayor Fink attends one for the grand opening of a giant scissor factory. However, he has a tough time cutting the ribbon with a pair of small scissors. In a later scene, Mayor Fink is trying to cut coupons with a giant pair of scissors, and says he wishes he had a smaller pair. |

Animal Crossing:: While no actual ribbon-cutting occurs, whenever you complete a public works project in New Leaf, you and Isabelle hold a ceremony to commemorate the new addition to the town. You hold a celebration for every project, even if it's something as simple as installing a trash can. New Horizons has similar celebrations for the installation of a new bridge or stairway/ramp, or the construction of new town buildings (such as the Nooklings' shop or the museum). | |

"Parental Glideance": While distracted by her parents' cheering during a Wonderbolt ribbon-cutting ceremony, Rainbow Dash accidentally snips off part of Spitfire's tail, much to her annoyance. "A Royal Problem": One of the duties taken over by Princess Luna when she swaps role with Celestia is a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Except the scissors are blunt, so she has to karate-chop the ribbon with her hoof. |

Battlestar Galactica. When the crew of Galactica hand-build a stealth fighter out of spare parts, they name it "Laura" after President Laura Roslin, and naturally invite her to christen it with a bottle of champagne. Roslin raises the bottle to break it over the nose, whereupon everyone shouts "No! No!" as the fighter's hull is made from carbon fiber and is actually quite fragile. Roslin says, "Just kidding!" and settles for sprinkling some of the bubbly instead. "Unfinished Business" includes a series of flashbacks to the groundbreaking ceremony for the settlement on New Caprica, an event that took place during a Time Skip in the second season finale. |

Star Trek: Voyager: Episode "Timeless" has the bottle-breaking ceremony take place with the unveiling of the ship's new quantum slipstream drive; Dramatic Irony is involved, as the audience already knows most of the crew will be killed as a result. Also a meta-example, as this was the show's 100th episode, and they were celebrating that with this scene. "Alice" has Tom Paris almost ready to do this to the titular shuttlecraft that he was refurbishing, but with B'elanna Torres's prompting, he shares a toast to the shuttle with her instead of breaking the champagne bottle on its hull. They do, however, manage to spill a bit of champagne on the upholstery inside the shuttlecraft. |

French movie The Little Bather with Louis de Funès: At the beginning, the launch of a ship (L'Increvable, i.e. The Unbreakable) goes sour when the champagne bottle, instead of breaking against the hull, breaks through it because of shoddy construction. At the end of the movie, the ceremony is held again with the repaired ship, and the bottle breaks normally. The ship just sinks as soon as launched, however. |

Kuukiyomi 2: Consider It More!: In the 45th situation, the player character is one of the people who are involved in a ribbon-cutting ceremony. You must cut the ribbon when the announcer says "Begin". However, you have to make sure the announcer is actually saying "Begin". Because sometimes the announcer says "Being", "Boring" or "Benign" to trick the player. In the 48th situation, the player character has to drop the confetti ball when all people who are involved in the ribbon cutting ceremony have cut the ribbon. |
