{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Death Note]]'' has a particularly memorable one in episode 26, complete with that series' rendition of [[Ominous Latin Chanting|Dies Irae]] in the background.
Line 22 ⟶ 21:
* ''[[Rocky (film)|Rocky]]'' movies are famous for training montages, including the meat-punching run-up-the-stairs bit in the original and in ''Rocky Balboa'', and a ''Rocky IV'' montage showing Rocky and Ivan Drago.
** ''Rocky III''' starts with a montage set to the song "Eye of the Tiger" showing the first three years after Rocky wins the championship title and becoming a world famous celebrity.
* In the movie ''[[In the Line of Fire]]'', potential
* Used in ''[[The Muppets (film)|The Muppets]]'', in order to speed up the search for the rest of ''[[The Muppet Show]]'' cast. And by 'used', we mean it's intentionally invoked by the characters in-universe.
* Spoofed in the film ''[[Team America: World Police]]'', with a song entitled "We Need A Montage", which explains away the technique as it plays over a montage. "And with every shot show a little improvement; to show it raw would take too long! It's gonna take a ''montage''!" The song originally came from an episode of ''[[South Park]]'', as noted below.▼
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Battlestar Galactica
* The final five minutes of ''[[Six Feet Under]]'' provide quite possibly the best Time Compression montage ever.
* A [[Blipvert]] montage that depicts ''the beginning of time as we know it'' through present day serves as the title sequence of ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]''.
Line 32:
* The {{spoiler|fifty years}} that pass while the team are trapped on their spaceship during the series finale of ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' are shown in Time Compression Montage. (They get undone [[Heroic Sacrifice|for every one but one person]].)
==
* [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0391.html this strip] from ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'' with Elan's training montage.
== [[Web Original]] ==
== [[Western Animation]] ==
Line 39 ⟶ 42:
* ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' played this for laughs with the superhero Montage. He has the power to create these by touching his fists together twice and saying "boop boop". Among the things he uses this power for is to build a shed, teach a guy Spanish, travel several miles, and age a guy to near-senility in a matter of a few seconds. Then his arch-nemesis End-Credits Mon comes in and ends the program.
* ''[[South Park]]'' ruthlessly makes fun of the sports version in their skiing episode.
{{quote|''In any sport, if you want to go
''From just a beginner to a pro
''You'll need a montage. (Montage)
''A simple little montage! (Montage) }}
** This song was later re-used in ''[[Team America: World Police]]''.
* ''[[Regular Show]]'' will lovingly parody classic eighties montage sequences with the accompanying music of the time, such as "You're The Best Around" or "Everybody's Workin' For The Weekend."
▲* Spoofed in the film ''[[Team America: World Police]]'', with a song entitled "We Need A Montage", which explains away the technique as it plays over a montage. "And with every shot show a little improvement; to show it raw would take too long! It's gonna take a ''montage''!"
▲** Various montages are also spoofed by [[Homestar Runner|Strong Bad]] in one of his [http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail117.html emails].
