Flash Back Back Back: Difference between revisions

* [[Firesign Theatre]]'s ''The Further Adventures of Nick Danger''. "No, no, no, no, no, no! You don't understand how radio works. Now, this is my flashback -- all I have to do to return us to the present is fade my voice out like this and cue the organist!"

* In ''[[Nebulous]]'', the Professor's frequent flashbacks to his childhood at the circus are heralded by an echo of him saying "I'm not a clown". Lampshaded when at one point, a character asks why he was lying on the floor muttering the world "clown", and at another time when the word "cloud" sets him off instead.

'''Sir Ronald''': ''[voice fading into the background]'' I said cloud! }}

* The musical variation is parodied in ''[[Son of Cliche]]'', in the first of the recurring sketches "Asso, Spanish Detective".

'''Asso''': I was in my office, playing my harp. }}

 

* Parodied in [[Duckman]]. An episode begins with Duckman waking up tied to a table and wondering how he got there. He thinks "Think back, back, back..." and flashes back...to him waking up tied to a table just a few seconds ago. This time he thinks "Think back, back back...must think back a little farther, farther, farther...". He flashes back to waking up again. Rinse and repeat, but this time he adds "Maybe volunteering for [[Mushroom Samba|LSD research]] wasn't the the best way out of the Marines" and finally succeeds in flashing back.

* Invoked in [[Earthworm Jim]];

'''Professor Monkey-For-A-Head:''' Quiet! I am setting up a flashback! Yesterday...yesterday...yesterday... }}
