* Used and explicitly [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in one episode of ''[[Cromartie High School]]'', which suddenly cuts to a sequence titled [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|"Let's Strum A Guitar In The Mountains!"]], at the end of which the man playing the guitar throws the instrument up in the air, screaming ''"Oh my god, this is a non-sequitur!"''
* Seen in ''[[Inuyasha]]'' when the group are trying to stop two warring brothers from tearing up the countryside. When Inuyasha gets side-tracked complaining about how warring brothers cause needless hassle for everyone and then defensively claiming that he and Sesshoumaru have nothing in common with these two brothers, Sango - in a moment of complete randomness - wonders if Sesshoumaru's the kind of person who sneezes when he's talked about. Cue the momentary
* This is done in ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'': The notorious dance scene with Japan and Switzerland. ''Yo ho ho, tra la la la...''
* ''[[Persona 4: The Animation]]'' does this twice in episode 11. When the team realizes they've left the head of Teddie's original body behind. Cue some kid crying at its white-eyed, soulless stare. Same kid both times, but in different places.
* Episode 16 of ''[[Slayers]]'' had Lina, Gourry, and Amelia travelling with a theater company. The director decided to cast them in an upcoming play, with Amelia as the hero. In one scene where she reads a line from the script (in her usual [[Large Ham]] / [[Love Freak]] way), the background shifts to make it look like she is a voice actress in a recording studio. Then she asks "how was it?"

{{quote|'''Stewie:''' They'll come after you like Peter went after that hockey coach. [[[Beat]]] [[Animated Actors|Oh, no clip]]? Oh, thought we had a clip. Nope? Okay."}}
** In "Believe It or Not, Joe Is Walking on Air", Peter compares a situation to giving a monkey the keys to an amusement park. However, no clip follows, and Lois asks what it has to do with anything.
** In "Spies Reminiscent of Us", Stewie is knocked out, and he can't set up the cutaway properly. This leads to him standing in an empty white room. Then, famous athlete Wilma Rudolph runs by. Stewie comments: "Obviously, she had something to do with the gag, but I didn't hear the setup, so I don't really know the context." Later in the same episode, the cast meets Vladimir Putin, who shows them a Russian
** In the episode "Back to the Woods", James Woods steals Peter's identity and when he tries to get back with his family, James threatens him with activating a cutaway gag if he doesn't leave. Peter leaves.
** The quote at the top of the page is an example that ends up being subverted later in the episode:
Line 110:
'''Peter''': See? [[Brick Joke|We had a plan for that all along.]] }}
** Yet another spoof comes in one episode where Peter says "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse!" The scene changes to show [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|Peter in bed with a lipstick-wearing horse]]; he glances at the camera and mutters "Um, I misspoke."
** One episode even had a
** In the episode where Peter becomes overly-feminine, they set up a cutaway gag that cuts back to a scene from about a minute earlier.
** In the recent episode "Back to the Pilot", Stewie and Brian time-travel [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|back to the pilot episode]]; rather than reuse the pilot's
** The 2011 Thanksgiving special involved Kevin Swanson returning home and admitting we went AWOL from the army. Peter refers to him as a "regular Benedict Arnold Drummond". Cut to the producers hopelessly confused and looking for a tape of [[Diff'rent Strokes|Gary Coleman]] in a Napoleon hat. After giving up they just put in one of the [[The Wizard of Oz|Cowardly Lion]] as [[Lindsay Lohan|Lindsay Lohan's]] OB/GYN.
** They even have Cutaway Gags poking fun at Cutaway Gags. In one episode, there's a cutaway about the time Quagmire thought he was getting his own show (instead of Cleveland)
