Line 125:
* William Stryker's computer in ''[[X2: X-Men United|X 2 X Men United]]'' is littered with dozens of references to the long history of mutants from the comic books.
** When Xavier connects to Cerebro in ''[[X-Men: First Class|X Men First Class]]'', some familiar mutants from the comics can be seen if you pause, with a young Storm being the most notable.
* In one scene of [[Tim Burton]]'s ''[[Sleepy Hollow (Film)|Sleepy Hollow]]'' in the fireplace a demonic face can be seen in it, the makers point this out in the behind the scenes feature.
* In the [[Serial Killer]] thriller ''[[Mr. Brooks]]'', [[Dane Cook]]'s character's first name is only revealed if you pause the DVD and {{spoiler|look closely at the newspaper article about him in one of the last scenes of the film}}.
* In ''[[Scott Pilgrim vs. the World]]'', taking Scott's thought wheel frame-by-frame reveals some pretty funny responses/actions. The full list of responses and actions: "I gotta pee", "Who, her?", "It was nothing", "Pass out", "No, you are", "Tell Pac-Man story", "Uh...", "When's dinner?", "No speaka English", "Idiot!" "She's forty!", "She's nobody"
Line 144:
** 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.
* In later episodes of ''[[Home Improvement (TV series)|Home Improvement]]'', the intro had "Watch Tool Time" flash quickly several times when the cast members were shown on screen. A screenshot of this can be found [http://www.eeggs.com/items/17809.html here.]
* In ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "The Time of Angels" you can quickly see that there's a bright red {{smallcaps| panic}} button on the Doctor's TARDIS keyboard.
** In "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S32/E07 A Good Man Goes to War|A Good Man Goes To War]]" the soldiers who are being briefed about The Doctor are standing next to a display showing the Sonic Screwdriver and the text "1) Is not Sonic; 2) Is not a Screwdriver"
Line 215:
** Quite common in ''[[The Slender Man Mythos]]''; ''[[Tribe Twelve]]'' also uses them for the purposes of horror, as well as [[Mind Screw]].
* A fan ending to ''[[Botchamania]]'' episode 166 (which uses voice clips from ''NFL Blitz 2001'') has a bunch of these. Interspersed with images of random wrestlers and [[Wrestlecrap]] moments, there are a few jokes written about them that can only be seen on the screen for a fraction of a second (example: the announcer calls out "Fat" while showing an image of [[Samoa Joe]], and the caption above Joe's head reads "Damn you, [[Scott Steiner]] promos! And your [[TNA/Funny|unintentional hilarity]]!" <ref>a reference to an interview from 2009 where Steiner calls Joe a "fat slob"</ref>)
* Too many [[
** The user avojaifnot specializes in this though...
* [[Large Bagel|Pinisu-chan's]] essay in the first episode of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPBbLCIyBco Large Bagel] begins with her trying to find out where she came from and if there are other Large Bagel's, only to change in the second paragraph to a ''[[Prince Of Bel Air]]'' parody.
* In [http://akross.ru/index.cgi?act=video;id=2105;l=e Paranoia Drift], an AMV that retells [[The Girl Who Leapt Through Time]] as delusions from Makoto's mind, there are a few frames at the beginning which read "This time while watching this video please remove all your emotional and logical effliction to this anime".

Line 240:
* ''[[Pinky and The Brain]]'': "I have made you use the freeze-frame button on your VCR."
** The intro has this sentence briefly appear: "Don't tell Brain I hid this secret message. Ha ha Narf!"
* ''[[Freakazoid!]]'' does this a lot in its end credit. One episode (which features an extremely long musical number involving the arch-villain the Lobe) contains a rather lengthy (and humorous) justification for it that is not legible without freeze frame: {{spoiler|"One time a space ship full of aliens came down and kidnapped our writing staff. The aliens threatened to blow up the Earth with a solonite bomb unless the writing staff wrote a big, splashy musical number for the Lobe. The writing staff worked for days on the song. The aliens were so pleased with it they agreed not to blow up the Earth. So the next time someone says "I don't know why they did that real long musical number in ''Freakazoid''," you can tell them. You can tell them of the time a rag-tag group of cartoon writers saved the Earth from destruction, and that each new day that dawns over this great, big blue planet of ours is due to these brave individuals."}}
** And again in an episode that takes place at a sci-fi con. Cave Guy freaks out when a Klingon {{spoiler|Freakazoid}} walks up to him and addresses him in a made up fictional language (yes, made up fictional. It's not a mistake.) The credits read at one point: ''We hope we haven't made fun of any of our fanbase by insulting Star Tre BIG FAT STUPID KLINGONS BIG FAT STUPID KLINGONS BIG FAT STUPID KLINGONS BIG FAT STUPID KLINGONS BIG FAT STUPID KLINGONS BIG FAT STUPID KLINGONS BIG FAT STUPID KLINGONS BIG FAT STUPID KLINGONS BIG FAT STUPID KLINGONS BIG FAT STUPID KLINGONS.''
** And of course, Emmett Nervend. At the end of each episode they give you a helpful guide to the total number of times he's appeared.
