Mundane Made Awesome/Playing With

Basic Trope: A mundane action is played to look more epic than normal.

• Straight: Bob is running to get on an elevator, but the doors are closing, so he makes a slow-motion dive for it, complete with a Big No.
• Exaggerated: Every time Bob takes a step, blinks, or breathes, the scene goes to super slow-motion, Crowning Music of Awesome plays, and there are several dramatic camera angles.
• Justified: Bob is an actor practicing for a movie where he has to do a scene like that.
  • Bob's life is boring, so why not spice up his everyday life with awesomeness?
  • Large Ham
  • Bob is running to get on the elevator so he can escape before the building explodes. He is still just trying to get onto an elevator, though.
• Inverted: Bob is fighting off the Big Bad, but the scene treats it as mundane as opening a door.
• Subverted: It looks like Bob's about to dive for the elevator, but instead he turns and starts going up the stairs instead.
• Double Subverted: ...which he climbs two steps at a time while awesome music plays.
  • You mean Two Steps From Hell at a time?
• Parodied: Bob makes a leaping, slow-motion dive for the doors, along with awesome music, a Big No, and everybody around him gasping in shock at how awesome it is. When Bob gets inside, he does a heroic pose and everybody applauds.
• Deconstructed: These kinds of scenes basically reek of Narm. In-universe, since Bob keeps doing these, he's seen as childish, and is laughed at.
• Reconstructed: ....Which was the intention of the author or Bob.
• Zig Zagged: Bob treats some mundane actions dramatically, but does others normally.
• Invoked: See Justified.
• Enforced: "We need to make this scene longer, so let's make it seem more awesome than it really is!"
• Lampshaded: "We could've gone without the leap and giant 'NOOOOO!', Bob."
• Defied: Bob starts to dive, but his friend Alice grabs him and tells him to just use the next elevator, which is currently open.
• Discussed: "Yeah, sometimes I want to mop the floor wearing a Badass Longcoat and playing Ominous Latin Chanting..."
• Conversed: "This show has mundane moments spiced up with epic. Perhaps the author ran out of ideas?"
