* The first opening of ''[[ToA AruCertain Majutsu noMagical Index]]'' does this when showing Accelerator using Misaka Mikoto's ability Electromaster, which is technically impossible for him to use, and Aureous Izzard armed with a gun he is never shown using, among other things.
** 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]].
Line 263:
* 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.
* Supposedly the inspiration for Bart Simpson comes from Matt Groening being dissapointeddisappointed by ''[[Dennis the Menace US]]'', as in the show Dennis is not the whirlwind of disruption he is depicted as being in the credits.
** Bart is actually closer in personality and age to the '''other''' [[Dennis the Menace UK|Dennis the Menace]].
* During ''[[Re BootReBoot]]'s'{{'}}s opening Bob mentions that he intends to learn about the User and why it plays dangerous games. In the actual show Bob doesn't even attempt to learn ''anything'' about the User at all. That line in the opening is removed in later seasons as the plot shifts away from dealing with the games.
* [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.
