== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* The first episode of ''[[The IT Crowd (TV)|The IT Crowd]]'' opens with one of these: A shot of [[Pointy -Haired Boss|Mr. Raynholm]] at his desk, with an identical scene on a picture hung on the wall. The camera then [[The Reveal|pans out to reveal]] another identical scene. When he starts talking, we see that we were actually looking at the picture on the real Mr. Raynholm's wall.
** ''[[Square One TV]]'' did something similar to teach viewers the concept of infinity.
* During Steve Martin's "I'm Me" song on ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'', he notices a monitor showing live footage of him, thus creating this effect. "It's me, watching me, watching me!"
Line 100:
* The page image for [[Temporal Paradox]] is an example.
* [[The Other Wiki]]'s [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_page webpage article]. Note the article picture.
* A [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]] meme known as [http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/138/613/130872263200.gif?1308735007 'Sweetie Belle Derelle']
* As one commenter explained this image: [http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/190469 "ctrl+ prt sc ctrl+v ctrl+ prt sc ctrl+v ctrl+ prt sc ctrl+v ctrl+ prt sc ctrl+v ctrl+ prt sc ctrl+v ctrl+ prt sc ctrl+v ctrl+ prt sc ctrl+v ctrl+ prt sc ctrl+v ctrl+ prt sc ctrl+v ctrl+ prt sc ctrl+v ctrl+ prt sc ctrl+v ctrl+ prt sc ctrl+v ctrl+ prt sc ctrl+v..."]
 
Line 107:
* The ''[[Darkwing Duck (Animation)|Darkwing Duck]]'' episode "A Brush With Oblivion" had one of these as Honker Muddlefoot's art project.
* In the ''[[Justice League (Animation)|Justice League]]'' episode "Wildcards", one shot has the Joker showing his [[Do Not Adjust Your Set|successful takeover of TV channels]] by appearing at a TV screen, which shows him on television in the same shot, and so on.
* An old [[Hanna -Barbera]] cartoon called ''Tomfoolery'' had a gag involving an animated man holding a Droste image of himself that zoomed in for several seconds. After a while, the narrator quipped "This could go on all day!"
* One episode of ''[[Phineas and Ferb (Animation)|Phineas and Ferb]]'' had Doofenschmirtz explaining how he was able to capture Perry the Platypus again through a series of pictures on canvas that ends up reaching his own explanation thereof. The final picture is of himself point to a picture of himself that goes on for several times (but ''not'' getting smaller) until the canvas runs out of room.
* A Daffy Duck cartoon set in [[The Wild West]] plays with this, by showing a [[Wanted Poster]] for Nasty Canasta, but when the picture seems to move, we discover it was Canasta himself, standing in front of the poster in the exact same pose.
