An anticlimax is a disappointing end to a build up, or following something serious with something petty. An example of anticlimax is found in the song "Everybody Knows" by Leonard Cohen with the line "Everybody got this broken feeling/ Like their father or their dog just died". Another example of anticlimax is seen in the show "The Wire" when Avon prepares for a large-scale shootout with Marlo's people, only to be arrested and have all his weapons confiscated.
