* In ''Down Among the Dead Men'', a 1954 scifi short by Creator/WilliamTenn, the protagonist is in a factory where [[NightOfTheLivingMooks human protoplasm is recycled to make more soldiers]] to fight a ForeverWar, so this trope is used for MoodDissonance.
-->Then we began going up and the [[ZeeRust elevator girl]] began announcing floors and I had lots of other things to think about. "Third floor--Corpse Reception and Classification," the operator sang out. "Fifth floor--Preliminary Organ Processing." "Seventh floor--Brain Reconstitution and Neural Alignment." "Ninth floor--Cosmetics, Elementary Reflexes, and Muscular Control." At this point, I forced myself to stop listening.

Origami King is already a video example, so might as well add it in writing too.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Videogame/PaperMarioTheOrigamiKing'' Olivia pretends to be a department store elevator announcer while she and Mario ride one up to the red streamer, saying that it's something she always wanted to do. Even if she doesn't know what a department store actually is. Sadly, this goes awry when the boss guarding the streamer sabotages the elevator before they get to the top. Olivia announces a minor delay to the "elevator passengers" as Mario tries to fix the sabotage, only for the elevator to plummet and crash directly afterward.
-->'''Olivia:''' Now passing the Third Floor! Cosmetics, handbags, men's slacks, oranges, perfume, and camping gear.\\
'''Olivia (After the elevator gets sabotaged):'''Dearest elevator passengers, there will be a minor delay while my friend Mario takes care of this emergency.\\
