comment
Pib and Pog is a series of short films from Aardman Animations (the Wallace & Gromit guys).The title characters are two blob creatures with huge smiles acting in a white void amidst minimal props. In the first short, a cheerful narrator asks them what they've been up to. Pog produces a shell he found at the beach which Pib desperately wants to see. Pog complies by shoving it onto Pib's head, nearly suffocating him. Pib then walks off and reenters with... a gun, and shoots a hole in Pog's belly. What follows is the purest example of a Subverted Kids' Show as the characters proceed to take escalating acts of violence against one another.In other words, this is anything but Wallace and Gromit.Watch it here.

Unreliable Narrator: Subverted. The narration is accurate, but the tone is not.

Wrap-Up Song: "The Pib and Pog Song" is a completely straight example, and a considerable bit of Mood Whiplash after the foregoing violence.

comment
Animated Actors: The title characters are revealed to be stuffy old British actors, who vent their frustrations with the show they've just done immediately after breaking character. Double Subverted in that they still hate each other.

Mood Whiplash: After five minutes of escalating violence, the show ends with Pib and Pog singing a completely straight lullaby to the viewers. And after that, they drop character and become stuffy old men.
