There seemed to be a glut of these around 2001-2005.

▲{{examples}}
== [[Alternative Metal]] ==
* Played in "Through Glass" by [[Stone Sour]]. Everything in the video (except the band members, but including a pool and a mansion) turns out to be a cardboard cutout, ending with the band on a soundstage.
Line 18:
== Dance ==
* The video to E-type's "Angels Crying" is a cliché [[Slasher
== [[Industrial Metal]] ==
Line 26:
== Pop ==
* Used in Michael Jackson's "Beat It", where the dancing gang members, led by Jackson, are drowned out by applause and cheering. Subtle, but still a decidedly weird feel.
* This happens in Michael Jackson's "Black or White" after the morphing-faces sequence, but ''then'' we have the panther than wanders onto a city street set and turns into Michael...after all that, it turns out the whole thing is being watched by [[The Simpsons (animation)|Bart Simpson]].
** Inverted in Jackson's "Liberian Girl", where dozens of celebrities are shown arriving at an elaborate film set and roaming around, asking where Michael is and when they'll get started filming his video. At the end, it's revealed that he's been there behind the camera all along, and their backstage wanderings ''are'' the video.
* Done in Madonna's video for "Like a Prayer", but with a theatre stage instead of a soundstage.
Line 53:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctoZbeD-GlY This] [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|disturbing]] [[Mind Screw]] ad raising awareness for domestic violence, featuring Keira Knightley.
* Every Abbey Road Studios dreamscape in [[The Beatles]] [[Rock Band]] ends by returning to the "reality" of the recording studio. [http://www.thebeatlesrockband.com/videos/sgtpepper Even for songs that start with the dreamscape already "on"].
* The finale of ''[[The Hills]]'' has this sort of ending.
** As does the last scene of ''Full Frontal'', directed by [[Steven Soderbergh]].
* ''[[The Big O]]''.
