* Wham! City, a comedy group with no relation to this trope, loves incorporating these shots in their digital media:
** ''Unedited Footage of a Bear'' starts as a parody of an allergy medicine commercial that interrupts YouTube footage of a bear. Then things start to get really weird when the protagonist, a mom with several kids, sees her doppelganger. The audience has to find supplemental material on a separate website to get the full story.
** ''This House Has People In It'', an interactive web series has this in the already-weird short film that features a girl falling through floors. It ends with an ominous figure decked in pink staring at the camera. Like with ''Unedited Footage'', one can uncover supplemental videos and fake websites that provide a few answers-- and lots of questions.

* ''[[Nostalgia Critic]]''
* Wham! City, a comedy group with no relation to this trope, loves incorporating these shots in their digital media:
** Doug's ''[[A Simple Wish]]'' review [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbp2HFm0-iM ends with him trashing Mara Wilson as a child actor, saying that her movies were terrible]. Then someone appears on the screen, with a ''very'' familiar face, a "modern-day" haircut and a stern expression. It's Mara Wilson, all grown up! Mara proceeds to chide Doug for judging kid actors on their performance and forgetting they were kids. To prove it, she rolls several embarrassing videos that he made as a kid and starts giving them the Nostalgia Critic treatment.
** ''Unedited Footage of a Bear'' starts as a parody of an allergy medicine commercial that interrupts YouTube footage of a bear. Then things start to get really weird when the protagonist, a mom with several kids, sees her doppelganger. The audience has to find supplemental material on a separate website to get the full story.
** Doug once made a video of "Top 11 Worst Avatar Episodes" under the belief that everyone is an adult and since ''Avatar The Last Airbender'' has no technically bad episodes. The show ends with a [[Gilligan Cut]] where Rob Walker delivers the news of the fandom being disgraced to a familiar face...Dante Basco, the voice actor for Prince Zuko.
** ''This House Has People In It'', an interactive web series has this in the already-weird short film that features a girl falling through floors. It ends with an ominous figure decked in pink staring at the camera. Like with ''Unedited Footage'', one can uncover supplemental videos and fake websites that provide a few answers-- and lots of questions.
