* In the Hotels.com ad, "Wait Training" ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=741sTZgGInM see here]), the trope is [[Played for Laughs]].

"Then we must teach you... to wait." }}

 

* In ''[[Homestar Runner]]'', Strong Bad is asked to "creat a montage" in sbemail 117. He creates not one, but ''three'' montages, all involving a Wagon Fulla Pancakes:

** The Cheat and the Wagon Fulla Pancakes being down-on-their-luck travelling salesmen.

''Ain't it a drag?'' }}

** Strong Bad [["Falling in Love" Montage|falling in love with the]] Wagon Fulla Pancakes.

''Filled up with pancakes...'' }}

** And finally, the Wagon Fulla Pancakes [[Training Montage|training for the championship.]]

''Showdown, put your nose down, showdown!'' }}

* ''[[Bowser's Kingdom]]'' Episode 7 had one of these, but it was cut out because of lazy animators. Hal and Jeff have an [[Oh Crap]] reaction when they find out and come to the conclusion that they didn't train at all.

* ''[[Collar 6]]'' used this for a time skip to the spanking contest.

* Invoked in ''[[Ansem Retort]]'', when Axel is about to begin training for a Murder-off.

'''Axel:''' Montage. }}

** The next strip is a montage of Axel training, complete with The Eye of the Tiger in the background.

'''Namine:''' Yeah, sorry about that, I downloaded the 'Super Montage' edition. }}

* ''[[Castlevania RPG]]'' parodies it [http://www.cvrpg.com/comics/comic.php?arch=comic&page=720 here].

* ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' introduces Mon-tage, who has this as his superpower, solving problems by invoking these to learn skills or accomplish tasks instantly. He even weaponizes it directly near the end, invoking a montage to rapidly age an escaping thief into infirmity.

* ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' spoofed this twice, first in "Raging Bully" and then again in "Doof Dynasty".

[[Star Wars|You'll fly to a swamp planet, meet a little green man]],<br />

And move things with your miiiinnndd!'' }}
