History SoundtrackDissonance / YaketySax

* A protester played "Yakety Sax" over speakers near the UK Parliament, at the request of Creator/HughGrant, following the news of the resignation of UsefulNotes/BorisJohnson. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMdB1rNmPwQ Watch it here.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' had the song playing during Hill's [[TheFunInFuneral funeral]]

* One scene in ''WebVideo/AMVHell 4'' involves ''Manga/OnePiece'', Yackety Sax, and ScoobyDoobyDoors. And a SightGag every second. It's every bit as hilarious as it sounds.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AYujWCCHRk Tribute.wmv]] does it with 9/11, starting off with the [[BaitAndSwitch slow and somber music]] of Enya's "Only Time", before jumping into Yakety Sax, complete with sped-up footage.

Watch ''anything at all'' with "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnHmskwqCCQ Yakety Sax]]" by Boots Randolph playing in the background. {{Gor|n}}efests, [[BlackComedyRape rape scenes]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AYujWCCHRk 9/11 footage]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-jcDRFId68 land mines]], [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Armageddon]]; doesn't matter. [[CrossesTheLineTwice It'll usually be funny]].

* Can Yakety Sax make the Nazis funny? You decide! [[note]] Link now dead, removed "for violating YouTube's hate speech policies." [[/note]]

* A Youtube user [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVNHYxevMzU played Yakety Sax]] during [[ItWasHisSled you-know-which-scene]] of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''. The title counts as a LampshadeHanging.

* On Nov 11, 2013, heavy metal youtuber 331Erock tried his hand at this song, resulting in something that [[https://youtu.be/BCIYmpR7a_k is simultaneously awesome and funny]]. On Jun 6, 2015 (1 year, 6 months, and 23 days later), 6S Films paired this song with ''[[Film/MadMaxFuryRoad Fury Road]]'' of all things, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Iw8sfRQmV0 and did not disappoint]].

* Tomers113's LetsPlay of ''VideoGame/{{Eversion}}'' uses said music [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5lMfl3Z27o when dying many, many times on level six.]]

* [[Film/KingsmanTheSecretService Galahad]] vs. Westboro Baptist Church {{expy}}: http://bennyhillifier.com/?id=APLCbcu1hrY You're welcome.
* [[Webcomic/OnePunchMan Saitama]] vs. Everything: http://bennyhillifier.com/?id=1mB5zUGHrck
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AYujWCCHRk Tribute.wmv]] does it with 9/11, starting off with the [[BaitAndSwitch slow and somber music]] of Enya's "Only Time", before jumping into Yakety Sax, complete with sped-up footage.
* It works in reverse, too, such as ''Series/TheBennyHillShow'' credits set to "[[MundaneMadeAwesome Lux Aeterna]]".
* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick does this to bypass a couple of pointless scenes in ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}''.
** [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] uses it as well when he realizes he's been backtracking on his LetsPlay of ''Elite Force''.
** WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob lampshades this in his ''Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre1974'' review during a scene with Leatherface chasing down his victim at night.
--> Must...resist...urge to play Yakety Sax...
** [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] uses it twice in his ''VideoGame/{{Ultima}}'' retrospective. He lampshades it the second time by admitting it's beating a {{dead horse|Trope}}.
*** He also adds it to the otherwise unedited (and utterly ridiculous) FinalBattle of ''Film/HighlanderTheSource''.
* Behold, the [[http://bennyhillifier.com/ BennyHillifier!]] Just type any [=YouTube=] ID (the part following v=) into the box.

* ''Film/HotelRwanda''. Your soul will darken as you try to restrain your laughter.
* It also remains the only thing one can sensibly have playing during Joker missions in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'', although that may be more CrossesTheLineTwice.
* Tomers113's LetsPlay of ''VideoGame/{{Eversion}}'' uses said music [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5lMfl3Z27o when dying many, many times on level six.]]
* Done excellently [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wu4Wn7TOpqk here]] using some of the more amusing (and violent) scenes in ''VideoGame/ClockTower''.
* The bonus scenes in the animutation ''Holy Shit, Ninjas!'' really benefitted from the use of Yakety Sax as its BGM.
* ESPN's Dallas radio station introduces the head coach of the Cowboys with this song whenever they cover one of his press conferences, to poke fun at his questionable toughness.
* Can Yakety Sax make the Nazis funny? You decide! [[note]] Link now dead, removed "for violating YouTube's hate speech policies." [[/note]]
--> You make zie Fuehrer look like a fool!
--> [[Film/TheProducers He didn't need our help!]]
* LetsPlay/FreelanceAstronauts. [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Shadow Temple.]] [[http://freelanceastronauts.com/view.php?id=576 Hilarity ensues.]]
* [[https://bennyhillifier.com/?id=gQaafNForNs the Instrumentality sequence from The End of Evangelion, with even more soundtrack dissonance!]]
** Speaking of [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion which]], ''WebVideo/EvangelionAbridged'' makes fun of the original series' habit of SoundtrackDissonance. The NERV personnel makes a combat montage with the first Angel, and one of the guys chooses Yakety Sax for it. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3ng4tjrZIs He doesn't last.]]
* [[http://bennyhillifier.com/?id=jt7OlFTxFJo I Wanna Be The Guy gets some kind of atonement thanks to the Hillifier.]]
* Occurs in ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'' episode "Who Framed Jimmy", when Jimmy, Carl and Sheen are chased by a bear through the woods. At one point, a butler comes out of nowhere and serves Carl a milkshake.
* A Youtube user [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVNHYxevMzU played Yakety Sax]] during [[ItWasHisSled you-know-which-scene]] of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''. The title counts as a LampshadeHanging.
* ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'', a game about zombies trying to kill you, becomes less serious and more hilarious when Yakety Sax plays when the Tank or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7Za_wH7OXM the Witch appear and chase you.]]
* ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath''. Asskicking galore, [[http://bennyhillifier.com/?id=N2NiEDhyu4o now with more hilarity]].
* Playing Yakity Sax simultaneously with it makes freaking ''Eversion'''s X-8 music sound cheery.
* [[spoiler: Cutler Beckett's death scene]] [[http://bennyhillifier.com/?id=MXcLybhbChQ from]] ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanAtWorldsEnd At World's End]],'' courtesy of the Benny Hillifier.
* "Queen of Let's Plays" [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Mangaminx MangaMinx]] sometimes uses this during her LetsPlay videos of horror games at points where she keeps screwing up and dying in the same segment, accelerating the video speed while it plays until she finally gets through it.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJS3ZBZ21Ik Attempted with the]] TearJerker scene of ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King|1994}}''.
* ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' had the song playing during Hill's [[TheFunInFuneral funeral]].

* Bill Corbett sings this in the Podcast/RiffTrax of a ''Film/{{Twilight}}'' film in a scene where Edward carries Bella on his back and runs through the woods.
* In [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1900/fc01802.htm this]] ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'' strip, when [[LovableRogue Sam]] sees a cop and instinctively starts running [[{{Irony}} (even though for once he hasn't done anything wrong)]], Helix and Florence give us this gem.
--> '''Helix:''' Natural enemies often react on instinct. I am going to follow and provide a sound track.
--> '''Florence:''' Magazine/NationalGeographic would never have set one of their chases to "Yakety Sax."
* Here's one of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjXsnDlyNUw the climactic chariot race]] from ''Film/BenHur1959.''
* Can the [[Wrestling/JeffHardy main]] [[Wrestling/{{Sting}} event]] of Victory Road 2011 be made hilarious by throwing Yakety Sax into it? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucQ3bkcbhQQ Let's find out!]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gTy2UlHWII This]] sets ''Film/ThePassionOfTheChrist'' to "Yakety Sax" ''and'' includes some ''Benny Hill'' sound effects for extra wrongness.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AX_KyLuhdDQ Watch as cars slide on snow and crash into each other]] to "Yakety Sax".
* Former LP'er Kit, friend of LetsPlay/RoahmMythril and LetsPlay/PinkKittyRose, played this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7Ap14qUORo over the SA-X scenes]] in ''[[VideoGame/MetroidFusion Metroid Fusion]]'', calling it "[[{{Pun}} Yakety SA-X]]". Possibly subverted, since the video was actually intended to showoff the SA-X's ArtificialStupidity.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nLCuS2q5Fo Godzilla vs Benny Hill]]. Then again, perhaps "dissonance" might be not be an accurate term since the music perfectly compliments the NarmCharm of [[Film/GodzillaVsMegalon the scene]], particularly Godzilla's awe-inspiring tail-slide dropkick.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8mUMSi5M8g Benny Hill doing a llama chase!]]
* On Nov 11, 2013, heavy metal youtuber 331Erock tried his hand at this song, resulting in something that [[https://youtu.be/BCIYmpR7a_k is simultaneously awesome and funny]]. On Jun 6, 2015 (1 year, 6 months, and 23 days later), 6S Films paired this song with ''[[Film/MadMaxFuryRoad Fury Road]]'' of all things, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Iw8sfRQmV0 and did not disappoint]].
* ''WebVideo/HonestTrailers'' uses this to emphasize the ridiculousness of the raptor chase scene in ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark''.
* Even [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elZ7L0QS4AY the Red Wedding]]. (Warning : MASSIVE ''Series/GameOfThrones'' season 3 spoiler)

** This could well be a shoutout to the ''[[https://youtu.be/PW0H_rprV-g Babelcolour Rap]]'', which remixed Eminem's ''Without Me'' with ''Yakety Sax'' and then threw in footage from various seasons of ''Doctor Who'' as the visuals.
* ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUkYepOl0Jg chase scene]]
* That dystopian British sci-fi series ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYnecKy24Ag Benny's Seven]].''
* ''WebComic/RustyAndCo'' used it for a ScoobyDoobyDoors gag in [[http://rustyandco.com/comic/level-8-133/ level 8-133]].
* ''Film/VForVendetta'': Gordon Dietrich uses Yakety Sax as part of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CVbqsKA1AA a skit]] mocking the Norsefire government's inability to hunt the terrorist V. As Gordon interviews "Sutler", he yells out that "V" is in the studio, and points him out among the band where he's playing a washboard with a fork. He keeps playing for another few seconds as he realizes he's been found, and then gives one last dejected scrape of the washboard. "Sutler" tries to get up and apprehend "V" himself, but "V" tied his shoelaces together a few minutes ago and, complete with cartoon sound effects, he falls flat on his face, leading to a chase scene that's dubbed over with Yakety Sax.
