** Technically, it is not impossible. If he really can control the vector of all things then he can control the movement of electrons and therefore can technically produce electricity.

* The opening sequence of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' is fairly standard for a [[Humongous Mecha]] series—the smiles on characters' faces, the panoramic views, the heroic and determined figure of Shinji Ikari standing tall with [[Dramatic Wind|the wind of a thousand cliches]] blowing through his hair. It also completely belies the nature of the actual series. You, however, will catch glimpses of the mopey female trio along with [[People Jars]].

*** The Elder Toad shown alongside the villains.

*** {{spoiler|The revived Akatsuki zombies}} sliding into each other while their containers comedically topple in the background

* The first seven episodes of ''[[Penguin Musume Heart]]'' slowly change before stabilizing into something that makes the show look like some sort of combination of ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena|Utena]]'' and ''[[Captain Harlock]]''.

* The OP for the first season of ''[[Hidamari Sketch]]'' shows Yuno walking in on Sae on top of Hiro in a suggestive manner, but the scene where it comes from (sadly, a [[Not What It Looks Like]] moment) isn't shown until the second season.

** Also, the [http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail155.html email theme song] shows a couple potential title sequences for the Strong Bad Emails. The one with the "inspirational" [[Theme Tune]] by "some kind of Neville" contains scenes not even remotely similar to anything in the actual toons, such as Strong Bad in a tank or Strong Bad in space. Strong Bad claims, "Of course, the best clips are from the un-aired pilot you'll never see."

* The Season 3 DVD of ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'' opens like this, with a lot of violence and explosions, and the scene cuts to some of the characters saying outright that the new season isn't going to have any less to do with standing around and talking than usual.

* The Japanese opening of ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' barely features Lugnut while prominently showing minor characters Arcee and Ironhide apparently on Earth and fighting alongside our heroes - indeed, Arcee is shown [[Designated Girl Fight|fighting Blackarachnia]] underwater (which, it should be noted, she is [[Did Not Do the Research|physically incapable of doing in-universe]], since she is part organic). It also shows various fight scenes around the world, when in fact all the scenes on Earth take place in an around Detroit. Despite all that, it's ''still'' [[Spoiler Opening|full of spoilers]]( {{spoiler|Longarm Prime,}} anyone?).

** It also features [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cloaked_mystery_villain Cloaked Mystery Villain], who doesn't look much like ''anybody'' in the show.

** Bart is actually closer in personality and age to the '''other''' [[Dennis the Menace UK|Dennis the Menace]].

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jCgVfDhH3A The second] season opening of ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' makes the show appear to be quite saccharine, with Jimmy having [[Fertile Feet]] that turn everything he touches happy, and not showing off any of Heloise's [[Comedic Sociopathy]]. The actual show is largely a [[Sadist Show]] with [[Black Humor]].

* The opening credits for the short-lived cartoon [[Alvin and The Chipmunks|''Alvin and the Chipmunks go to the Movies'']] contains footage from different episodes, each parodying a different movie, but also a brief clip parodying ''[[Star Wars]]'', starring Alvin as [[The Hero|Luke Skywalker]], Simon and Theodore as [[Robot Buddy|C-3PO and R2-D2, respectively]], and David Seville as [[The Dragon|Darth Vader.]] Unfortunately, the ''Star Wars'' parody was ''never'' made into an actual episode of that series.
