{{quote|''Back when I was writing and producing'' Dharma and Greg'', the only way to read my cards was to record each episode on a VCR and hit the "pause" button. This was not an easy task. The image wobbled like crazy making the tiny words of my weekly tomes very hard to see.''

In video, sometimes the screen will show something so briefly that you cannot tell what it is unless you play the video in slow motion or pause it. Often it turns out to be a joke or a [[Shout-Out]].
Line 32 ⟶ 33:
** Shampoo, naked.
** Ryoga with a word bubble screaming OH MY GOD - because he's looking at Ranma and Akane embracing ''stark naked.''
* As do early seasons of ''[[Sailor Moon]]''. At least once, during a collision (Chibi-Usa landing onto Usagi) there was even a shot of Usagi ''naked'', "sadly" drawn in a [[Super-Deformed]] style that prevented any chance of [[Fan Service]]. See [https://web.archive.org/web/20120903144658/http://www.sailorsystem.com/injokes/ here] (dub episode 109) along with other examples.
* Subliminal frames (A filmography term for frames that last well under a second while playing) were often done for slapstick moments in the earlier seasons of the ''[[Slayers]]'' anime. Some examples include a frame of [http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/9628/zelrose.png Zelgadis with a rose in his mouth] after Lina kicks him in the first season and a shot of a super-deformed Amelia after she gets hit in the head with a mace in the second.
* ''[[Ergo Proxy]]'' has most of its back story spread throughout the opening credits in this form.
Line 77 ⟶ 78:
* ''[[Shakugan no Shana]]'' - While lasting longer than most examples, in the third episode of season 1 of the anime when Shana trashes various teachers, one of them looks like [[Adolf Hitler]].
* ''[[The Idolmaster (anime)|THE iDOLM@STER]]'' - Haruka and Chihaya have a sleepover in an apartment building named "Mber". Haruka, Chihaya, and Imber were in a robomantic love triangle in [[Idolmaster: Xenoglossia|Idolmaster]] [[Mythology Gag|Xenoglossia.]]

* [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYQJHeemBecOu1hT9SDo98w Vivifx]'s later [[Anime Music Videos]], such as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCeFbK-WEVE "Ship Happens"] and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH8qIKgg6tU "Anime 101"], are often ''laden'' with all manner of extra humor and even shout-outs to friends, visible only to those quick on the pause button.
Line 149 ⟶ 154:
* ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'' pretty much abuses this trope and it's one of the main reasons that makes it [[Better on DVD]].
* At the end of the ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' episode "Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind", a character is seen in a classroom opening up a book {{spoiler|which is supposed to be about assassination techniques}}. The page is shown just long enough for the audience to parse a more on-topic chapter heading, but most of the other text consists of the lyrics to [[The Beatles (band)|"Happiness Is A Warm Gun"]].
* In the season 1 ''[[Glee]]'' episode Hairography, Quinn Fabray and [[I'm a Man, I Can't Help It|Noah "Puck" Puckerman]] get into a fight over the fact that Puck was [[Ripped from the Headlines|sexting]] Santana Lopez during a babysitting gig with Quinn. The [https://web.archive.org/web/20120723002130/http://videogum.com/img/thumbnails/photos/glee_1_12/8.jpg freeze-frame] of Quinn searching his phone for evidence reveals that Puck might be the worse sexter ever; one sent message features the creative and eloquent line, "You so hot and stuff and stuff."
* In an episode of ''[[Trailer Park Boys]]'', a character reads a written note aloud as the camera focuses on it. After he is done, the camera pans down slightly for a split second to reveal [[Unreadably Fast Text|extra text]], which says "If you're freeze-framing this on DVD, you're fucked!"
* In a 2010 episode of ''The Vampire Dairies'' Stefan is calling Isabel and on his phone you see a number, a real number, 919-399-2507. For at least a year after if you called it you got audio of Katherine, Stefan, and Damon talking about Klaus and who to trust.
Line 228 ⟶ 233:
* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'': In the intro, the fast camera pan from a Springfield street to the Simpsons' garage looks like a blur at regular speed, but if you slow it down, you can see that it's actually a legitimate (albeit warped) pan across [http://kidicarus222.blogspot.com/2008/02/simpsons-intro-what-you-dont-see.html a HECK of a lot of characters].
** The new Simpsons intro includes a billboard during the camera pan of Springfield. It changes every episode, but is usually impossible to read without freeze-frame.
** If you think that's impressive, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130208140620/http://www.snpp.com/episodes.html read the capsules] and look for Freeze Frame Fun. For example, in 7F02, Homer initially marks his sex as female on the insurance form before changing it. (Yes, I'm one of them.)
** In "Bart Star", in the scene where [[King of the Hill|the Hills]] make a cameo, Bill, Dale, and Boomhauer can be seen in the background.
** An in-universe example when the cartoon "Danger Dog" is shown to the school, the creator freezes the frame showing that the chunks of barf are pictures of the animators' and their friends' heads.
