** In ''[[Project a Ko]] 2: Plot of the Daitokuji Financial Group'', one of the spies shoots a firework rocket which goes out the window and explodes. At the instant it explodes, there's a picture of C-ko waving paper fans.

** In the opening of ''[[Project a Ko]] 3: Cinderella Rhapsody'', a split-second before a cut, some of the pool balls split in half.

* In ''[[Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki]]'' episode 7 ("The Night Before the Carnival"), when Ryoko intentionally has a [[Crash Into Hello]] meeting with Tenchi, at the moment of the collision, there is a picture of both of them drawn in [[Super Deformed]] style.

* ''[[Ranma One Half]]'' has eye catches in a few of the [[Hit Flash|collision flashes]] as well. Among them are;

* English-speaking fans of the sweet shoujo series ''[[Angelique]]'' were rather surprised to see [http://angeasylum.com/images/captions/pink.jpg text from an article] about [[Queer As Folk]] show up as an eye-catch background in the second OVA series.

* ''[[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.

* [[Death Note (Manga)|L]] [http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm225/WeeWee2000/vlcsnap-1989132.png riding a bike] (among other ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]'' characters) in an episode of ''[[Full Metal Panic]]'': The Second Raid.

* 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.

== Film - Animated ==

** Also, when Hamm is flipping the channels looking for the Al's Toy Barn commercial, the images that flash by are from older Pixar shorts and commercials.

** Not to mention the Disney Pixar Star Ball popping up everywhere...

* In ''[[Atlantis the Lost Empire (Disney)|Atlantis the Lost Empire]]'', as the window of the submarine descends, an extra waving at the camera is visible for a few frames.

* [[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.

* At the end of Disney's ''[[Beauty and The Beast (Disney)|Beauty and The Beast]]'', if you pause at the very moment when [[Disney Villain Death|Gaston falls off the building]], you can actually see [[Wingding Pupils|two very tiny skulls in his eyes.]]

* When [[Cinderella (Disney)|Cinderella]] gains her magic ballroom gown from the Fairy Godmother for the very first time, if you pause at the right moment when she is spinning in her said gown, for a split-second you can actually see her in the very pose they used as stock clip-art for [[Disney Princess|her merchandise.]]

* ''[[Arrested Development (TV)|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 (TV)|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|"Happiness Is A Warm Gun"]].

* 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!"

* On ''The Vampire Dairies'' Stefan is calling Isabel and on his phone you see a number, a real number, 919-399-2507. If you call it you get audio of Katherine, Stefan, and Damon taling about Klaus and who to trust.

* There are two in [[Weird Al]]'s [[Take That Me|White and Nerdy]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9qYF9DZPdw video]. 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'. Al's James Blunt parody [[What Could Have Been|"You're Pitiful"]] was squashed by the label... he's less than pleased with the way they [[Executive Meddling|handled it.]]

* 30 Seconds To Mars' Attack [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acIU7yxzJ70 video], by way of superimposed writing and scribblings. Probably the only one in recorded history to use this to give a [[Shout Out]] to their fanbase ''and'' equate the [[Jared Leto|lead singer]] to [[Satan]] within the same timespan.

** This trope also shows up in their video for Hurricane, [[Not Safe for Work|only with]] [[Fetish Fuel]].

* 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]].

* In the 90's [[Looney Tunes]] short "CarrotBlanca" when Daffy is carrying Bugs' luggage he trips and drops it and for a few frames Elmer Fudd can be seen falling from it.

* In an episode of ''[[Regular Show]]'' called "But I Have A Receipt," Mordecai and Rigby are spreading the word about how terrible a RPG The Realm Of Darthon is. One scene they show people all the classes of the game, and Mordecai proceeds to flip through the game book. It looks like a blur after the first couple pages, but if you have a quick pause button finger, you can see classes such as Scorpion Lawyer, Goat-Legged Dude, and Space Colon in the book.

** In the first episode, when Twilight is talking about Nightmare Moon and the Hourglass passes over the unicorn head statue in the background, it changes to look like Nightmare Moon, going back when it is no longer behind the Hourglass.

** In "Party of One", during Pinkie Pie's [[Sanity Slippage]], her normal [[Genki Girl]] look appears in place of her morose form in single frames.
