View source for Pull the Plug on The Title

{{trope}}
Need a cool and eye-catching way to display the title of your animated series? How about... a big neon sign!

Oh, that doesn't work so well when drawn, does it? Well, never fear! Just send some sparks flying by having one of the characters [[Pull the Plug on The Title]]! Instant special effect zappy-ness! Now everyone will notice your sign!

Bonus points if the character shown to be holding the plug is a villain and/or twirling the plug while whistling.

Compare [[Cut the Juice]].

{{examples}}
== [[Video Games]] ==
* The opening credits of ''[[Jak II Renegade]]'' are shown as street signs. Daxter plugs in the final one, a huge neon sign of the game's title.
* High Voltage Software, a video game developing company, used this with its logo in the late 1990s.

== [[Western Animation]] ==
* ''[[Dexter's Laboratory|Dexters Laboratory]]'' is probably the best-known example. Dee Dee puts the plug in at the last minute, causing the sign to short out from Dexter repeatedly pushing the remote button to get it working ([[Leaning on the Fourth Wall|presumably in a hurry before the theme song ends]]).
** And in one episode, it's ''Mandark'' who puts the plug in, creating the title "Mandark's Laboratory". The title is changed back into the usual one in the third cartoon. 
* ''[[Dilbert]]'' the [[Animated Adaptation|TV Series]] had the theme song end with the title shorting out and then cutting to Dogbert twirling the plug while standing beside an outlet.
* ''[[My Dad the Rock Star]]'' inverted this: The sign fails to work, and the main character has to plug it in.
* In a related event, the opening titles of ''[[Futurama]]'' end at a huge video screen displaying the producers' names, before the Planet Express ship crashes into it.
* The opening of ''[[Johnny Test]]''.
