* In ''[[Super Dimension Fortress Macross]]'', among the buildings destroyed in the first episode are the studios Studio Nue, Artland, and Anime Friend, which worked on Macross. The Studio Nue building has a picture of their chibi-''nue'' mascot on it, and the mascot's facial expression changes to a frightened one while the building collapses. (The mascot is depicted in the lower left corner of the image [http://macross.anime.net/memories/01/index.html here].)
** In ''[[Super Dimension Fortress Macross]]: [[The Movie|Love, Do You Remember?]]'', while Hikaru is flying through the [[Laser Hallway]] just before he reaches Bodolza, he fires several flights of missiles. One of the missiles is a can of 'Tako Hai'. One of the other missiles is a can of Budweiser.

* ''[[Ergo Proxy]]'' has most of its back story spread throughout the opening credits in this form.
** Most of the notes in episode 16 are poems and short stories by Stanley Donwood, a quick search reveals he has a connection with Thom Yorke of Radiohead, who wrote the ending song.
* The first time [[Excel Saga (
* As with [[Unreadably Fast Text]], [[Studio Shaft]] loves this trope. It's used a lot in all of their comedy titles.
* In episode 15 of ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'', there's a scene where the camera follows a car from a side-view perspective. One of the cars going the opposite direction is a yellow Fiat 500, as occasionally featured in ''[[Lupin III]]''.
* ''[[Gundam Wing]]'' does this a couple of times. In the episode where Heero is hospitalized, the computer display includes text taken from the readme file for Photoshop's TWAIN plugin. More subtly, when Quatre is shown examining the blueprints to Sandrock, the startup screen includes several technological references to other ''[[Gundam]]'' series, including the movable frame from ''[[Zeta Gundam]]'' and the ALICE artificial intelligence from ''Gundam Sentinel''.
** ''G Gundam'' does this as well with the last episode or two where various Gundam's from various series help fight in the end. Such Gunda's inlcude the original, the Zeta Gundam, and some Wing stuff in there as well to boot.
* In chronological episode 11 of ''[[
* Near the beginning of the ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (
** In another episode of the first anime, "Fullmetal vs. Flame," there's a scene in which Edward and Mustang are fighting. Ed hides in the crowd of military onlookers because Mustang can't possibly blow everyone up for the hell of it. Mustang taunts Ed out with a [[Berserk Button|short remark]], which causes Ed to reveal himself in the crowd. Mustang sends a streak of flame that way that blows up the area, sending military men flying everywhere. One man flies directly in front of the camera, moving so fast you barely see him; however, a freeze frame will reveal that he has the most hilarious (blue) face that the artists have ever done in that anime.
*** He also looks a little like Seiji Mizushima, the [[Creator Cameo|director]].
* Practically every second of every episode of ''[[Pani Poni Dash!]]'' contains some reference or [[Shout-Out]] to something, often unbelievably obscure. The blackboard in particular contains different text every time it's viewed; it's often ''covered'' in text, with five or six references at once, and appears for only a split second. The PDF liner notes that come with the [[Fan Sub]] can stretch to over ''twenty pages''.
** ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' has this to a small degree in the opening, and to a much larger degree during ''[[End of Evangelion]]''. ''End of Evangelion'' has Misato being blown into pieces and a brief shot of fan mail Anno received, to name only two.
** ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion]] 2.0'' has '''Asuka [[Nipple-and-Dimed|fanservice]]''' featured like this.
Line 55:
*** The latest trailer shows Asuka {{spoiler|wearing her old plug suit, battle damage and all}}.

* ''[[Code Geass]]'' has a few of these. For example when Anya is looking through a photo album if you freeze at the right moment you can see [http://i43.tinypic.com/4r8djl.jpg a picture] of Milly groping Shirley.
* Episode 12 of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]] StrikerS''. "When did Nanoha arrive in the nick of time?" you may wonder. Well, slow down the episode at the scene just before the commercial break, and you will see a single frame of Nanoha's [[Instant Runes]] appearing {{spoiler|[[Taking the Bullet|in the path of]] [[Small Girl, Big Gun|Dieci's massive beam attack]]}}.
* [[Death Note
* Similar to the ''Sailor Moon'' example above, ''[[The Slayers|Slayers]]'' has some single-frame eyecatches that can only really be seen in freeze frame. A memorable one includes a super-deformed Gourry mooning the audience.
* ''[[K-On!]]'' episode 2x13 zoomed into Azusa's plateful of Yakisoba and showed her fellow band-mates in miniature, lounging on a noodle in their swimsuits. Three frames, total.

* There are a lot of these in ''[[FLCL]]''. [http://www.flclw.com/images-pics/hidden-frames/ Here] are some of them.
* While we're on the subject of ''[[FLCL]]'', it's also worth mentioning an equally-insane effort by one of the directors, ''[[Dead Leaves]]''. In a scene where the prisoners get shot, a penis flies off and into another's mouth. It appears around the 17:38 mark, visible in the general area around the robot prisoner's head.
Line 76:
* Episode 5 of ''[[Myself Yourself]]'' has a significant scene involving a [[wikipedia:Tanuki|tanuki.]] Two episodes later, a "Tanuki Express" truck zips across the screen.

When Stitch pins Jumba with the Beetle, Duke briefly has a shocked expression on his face, visible for only a fraction of a second.
* [[Urban Legend|According to a famous myth]], at one point, the dust clouds in ''[[The Lion King]]'' form the letters SEX. They actually spell SFX (maybe).
** Also, when Timon is digging through the log, one of the bugs is wearing a Mickey Mouse ears hat.

* During the production of ''[[The Rescuers]]'', [[Don Bluth]] (one of the animators) decided to pull off a prank, and [http://www.flickr.com/photos/ilovedisneydance/4260656905/ inserted] an image from [[Playboy]] into a few of the frames. Normal viewing could not reveal anything, but a careful freeze frame did. When it was spotted by [[Disney]], the image was edited, and all subsequent VHS and DVD editions were Playboy-free.
** Similar to the Cinderella example below, Bernard's current cover pose for ''[[The Rescuers]]'' can be seen for a few frames during the "Tomorrow Is Another Day" montage to Devil's Bayou.

** Similarly, Princess Aurora was seen in her iconic pink dress (it's normally supposed to be colored blue) only for a spilt second at the end of ''[[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Sleeping Beauty]]''.
*** Considering the fairies are changing it from blue to pink to blue for the entire outro, I'm not sure this counts as a freeze-frame.
* Disney's ''[[Robin Hood (Disney film)|Robin Hood]]'': "God forgive Prince John."
* That scene in ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]'' where we see that Jessica Rabbit is [[Going Commando]]. ([http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/jessica.asp Maybe].)

** [[The Muppets|Kermit the Frog]] can also be seen in that scene.
* In ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'', during Genie's rapid-fire transformations of Abu, one of them has a Mickey Mouse head for a split-second.
* At one point in ''[[Hoodwinked]] Too'', the recipe for the MacGuffin is briefly on screen. If you freeze the image, you see amusing fantasy-story entries like Sleeping Beauty's morning coffee, but right at the bottom is Soylent Green, crossed out with "People!" written beside it.

** They even put a halt to the narrative to [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|break the fourth wall]] and [[Lampshade Hanging|explain the practice]] midway through the film, just to get you thinking about it.

** There's a similar effect in an earlier part of the story. {{spoiler|Where Sammy is giving the finger after being shocked, one shot is of a longer and thinner hand than Sammy's is. Leonard's hands are roughly the longer and thinner shape.}}
* ''[[Batman Begins]]''. The "police" who recovered the Joker card was named J. Kerr.
Line 123:
* In ''[[The Core]]'', when pigeons have lost their sense of navigation and are flying into plate-glass windows, one of the windows finally breaks. If you freeze-frame on this moment, you'll see that the window is broken not by a flying pigeon, but by a flying ''trout.''
** The director actually makes it a point to specifically mention this during the commentary track, and to explain the circumstances behind it. While the animators were running tests to make sure all of the birds behaved correctly, one or more birds would often be temporarily replaced by trout models instead to make it easier to see those particular birds' paths through the swarming flock. Unfortunately, when they actually did the full rendering of the scene, someone forgot to change one of the trouts back into a bird, and no one noticed until it was too late to re-do the shot.

Some fans with lucid freeze-frames on their VCRs noticed that the authorization message read, "Laurel Takashima cleared".

Unfortunately, between the pilot and the series, the character of Laurel Takashima was [[Put

* The first half of ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' S1 was ''very'' good at this, with tons of stuff in each episode. For instance, Suresh's map with color strings. There was bits of [[Foreshadowing]] regarding upcoming characters as early as the first episode. {{spoiler|The folders in Old Suresh's file cabinet are labelled with the names of powers featured in later episodes.}} During the second half there was considerably less of this and in later seasons these little clues appear to be largely absent.
* Every episode of everything by Chuck Lorre Productions: He uses his [[Vanity Plate]] like a blog (making the concept of blogging [[Older Than They Think|Older Than The Internet]]). And if you miss it, you can always find the archive on [http://www.chucklorre.com/ his site].

** Most notably, the Blast Door Map which, while only visible for several seconds, contains numerous references to future plot points, such as The Flame, Magnus Hanso as the captain of the Black Rock, the date of the Incident etc.
** Once in a while, though, something the creators intended as a joke was noticed and overanalyzed to death by crazy fans, like the Dharma Shark, who was then jokingly named "Ezra James Sharkington" by Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, and popped back up in a sixth-season episode, presumably as a [[Shout-Out]] to said crazy fans.

The first is at min 1:10 with a mock Trivial Pursuit question card with questions like "F.D.R. - [[Too Soon|Was he faking it?]]" and "What's the deal with [[Acceptable Targets|Linsey Lohan]]? I mean, seriously". The other is at 1:50. The [[Wikipedia]] article he's editing (vandalizing) is Atlantic Records'.

* Specifically invoked in the [[Matthew Good]] video for ''Weapon''. Initially upset with what the video's director had done with it, Good took control of the project and inserted every-other-frame videos, very quick flashes of words, and actually lengthy diatribes that you ''have'' to pause to be able to read. The video [[Awesome Moment of Crowning|won a Juno]] (the Canadian Grammy), but because Good boycotts the Junos, the original director accepted the award...[[Jerkass|despite not really making it in the first place]].
Line 175:
* ''[[No More Heroes]]'' has the ''entire story'' of the last boss, which is told entirely in fast-forward. [[No Fourth Wall|Travis explicitly fast-forwards it,]] {{spoiler|to avoid raising the game's age rating.}} ([http://www.viddler.com/explore/ChipCheezum/videos/81/ Here it is slowed down], courtesy of Chip Cheezum's [[Let's Play]].)
** In the second game, second-to-last boss Alice Twilight burns a few pictures before her showdown with Travis. If you somehow take a good look at these pictures, you'll notice she has a husband and son and some form of link with similarly-named Margaret Moonlight.

** The Redeemer missile object has "Adios!" scrawled on the side, fitting for a man-portable nuclear cruise missile.
** Using console commands to drastically slow down the game speed (''very'' drastically), it's possible to see exactly how the game handles [[Your Head Asplode|decapitating headshots]]: the head of the character model simply shrinks down to a dot and a head gib is spawned. Not interesting from any plot perspective, but interesting nonetheless.

* In the ending cinematic of ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty]]'' while {{spoiler|Snake is talking to Raiden}}, if you pause at the right point, and zoom into the crowd, a still-living {{spoiler|Vamp}} is clearly visible.
* In ''[[Super Robot Wars Z]]'', the enigmatic Asakim Dorwin's Ley Buster attack ends with a [[Mind Rape]] that's designed to fuel [[Wild Mass Guessing]]. Most of the images that flash across the screen are (probably) merely gothic artwork with [[Faux Symbolism|meaningless symbolism]], but if paused at just the right time, others show possible clues to his past and connection with other characters and plotlines. It doesn't help that he even tells his opponent that he'll show them "my past, my sins, my fate, and my despair".
* In ''[[Super Smash Bros]]'', the characters have a typical electric damage animation for most of Pikachu's attacks. Many of them showing the skeleton of the attacked character. But, if you attack Samus, and pause in the right frame... you'll see her suitless model, with no clothes at all. She's really well done, but is faceless.
** This resulted in a [[Good Bad Bug]] in the N64 game, where pausing at the right time after hitting her with Ness's PK Thunder would leave her like that.

** If you slow down the scene in "The Waterbending Master" where Zuko's ship is blown up [[No One Could Survive That|with him in it]], you can actually see him creating a fire shield to protect himself.
** "The Serpent's Pass" has a scene where the [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]] has [[Recurring Extra|the Cabbage Merchant's]] [[Running Gag|cart of cabbages]] violently destroyed because they might carry a parasite that could spread through the whole city. As the [[DVD Commentary]] points out, freezing when the pieces of cabbage are flying around shows he ''[[Properly Paranoid|really did]]'' have a cabbage slug.
