* ''WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog''. You could watch Penny and Hammer on their date scene, or you could look in the background and see Doctor Horrible stalking them in a hilariously inept manner, even pretending to be a soup kitchen worker.
* The first ''[[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd Nerd]] vs. [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic Critic]]'' battle. After the Nerd chastises the Critic for not shutting the door after coming into his house, just before the door closes, Toucan Sam flies by.
* This is mainly the idea in SMP films' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTVfN54vLhs Epic]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evDVlXQiG_4 Nothing]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxtLu2LBiUs Series]].
* Any episode of WebVideo/TheJokerBlogs is sure to include many blink-and-you'll-miss-it inside jokes about the DC universe. This comes to its logical conclusion during episode 18, which was in the form of a TV news broadcast. The news ticker at the bottom of the screen consists of ''nothing'' but comic book in-jokes (over 25 different Batman villains/allies are referenced), to the point that it mught be necessary to watch the video twice -- once to watch the video and the other time to watch the news ticker.
* Used often in Djy1991's version of ''[[HalfLifeFullLifeConsequences Half-Life: Full Life Consequences]]''. One example includes someone in the background randomly firing cans around with the Gravity Gun, whilst John Freeman is reading the email from his Mom.
** The third and fourth videos, ''Hero Beggining'' and ''Free Man'', are filled with this, often involving the [=GMan=].
* Thanks to the {{Machinima}} nature of Machinima/RedVsBlue, you might be able to catch some of the cast wandering aimlessly around the set while other characters are talking in the foreground. The most memorable is probably Agent Washington using quite a lot of explosives to dispose of a recently deceased fellow agent's body.
** When Church is getting the others to fix up his legs, and in the background the red's jeep which he is unknowingly controlling is going everywhere. Soon after it almost kills Sarge.
** Unintentional Funny Background Events occasionally occurred in older episodes when characters not currently in use ended up in a shot. Perhaps most notable was a brief glimpse of a blue soldier who looked like Caboose in an early episode, declared to be Caboose's evil brother Cecil, who returns to kill Caboose in one of the alternate finales for season 5.
* WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob's cats often pop onscreen unexpectedly.
** During ''Nudist Colony of The Dead'' his cat wanders onscreen and watches as he throws a crumpled up newspaper across the room.

** Then there's [[http://thecinemasnob.com/2010/06/24/brad-tries-deep-throat-energy-drink.aspx "Brad Tries Deep Throat energy drink"]] where halfway through, Lloyd starts going insane behind the curtain.
--->'''Brad:''' Hmm, wonder if Lloyd's been getting into this drink too.
** In [[http://thecinemasnob.com/2010/08/06/brad-tries-urge.aspx "Brad Tries Urge",]] Lloyd randomly pops up from behind the couch.
** And then there's the funny ''foreground'' event in Jillian's review of ''Eclipse'', where Lloyd suddenly pokes his head up right in front of the camera.
*** Happens again in ''[[http://thecinemasnob.com/2011/03/10/brad-tries-crystal-from-pepsi.aspx Brad Tries Crystal from Pepsi]]'', prompting Brad to say "[[SarcasmMode This is the most professional show on the site.]]"
** In "Brad Tries Jones Soda Christmas Packs", the cat has her own show in the background.
** In "Brad Tries Sperm", Brad has to caution his cat against sniffing the curiously-named canned cocktail he's about to consume, as that would just make the video ''all kinds of illegal''.
** At the end of the ''Rock: It's Your Decision'' review, Brad describes just how messed up the movie was, and how it detailed the utter ruination of the main character as he is brainwashed. As he states that he is sure that, ten years later, the main character would hang himself, Lloyd picked that '''EXACT''' moment to jump up onto the couch as Brad smiles.
** In one episode, Lloyd starts meowing quite loudly off-screen, to which Brad reacts by assuring the cat they will drink the drink, which shuts the cat up.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVBgj3ys6Gk This video]] where the main focus in on the Spy trying (poorly) to do [[CaramelldansenVid Caramelldansen]], while people in the background are doing normal things (at least, normal for VideoGame/TeamFortress2). However, about a third of the way in, an Engineer spawns in on top of the Spy and starts dancing, before the cameraman kills him. Then, about two-thirds of the way in, another Spy, who has, until this point, been just running around shooting people, decides to get in on the act, and actually does a much better job of Spy Crabbing in the background.
* In ''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation'''s ''SuperPaperMario'' review, when Yahtzee shows the Dictionary.com definition of "game" (while complaining about padding), the other tab in his browser is titled "Super Huge Tits".
* In the episode of ''MonsterHigh'', "Ghostly Gossip", just at the beginning there is a blink and you miss it moment where behind Cleo, a student is being attacked from her locker by tenticles similar to the image above.
* ''Film/ProjectMillion'': After receiving a MindScrew from The Wire, Spazz spends several minutes in the background trying to make sense of it.
* Ever since [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment the Spoony One]] got a new dog, you can see her in the background having fun in a number of the VLogs.
* DesertBusForHope 5: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNvIHTgjFHE Game of Thrones on Kazoo and Guitar]] challenge has Creator/MontyPython horses in the background, as well as a flying stuffed dragon.
* In [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsS-ZH38nTU this]] video combining ''VideoGame/RhythmHeaven'' and ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', while Pinkie Pie is busy putting her twist on "Munchy Monk 2", Twilight Sparkle can be seen in the background trying (and [[EpicFail hilariously failing]]) to play the trumpet.
** Mr. Ben's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1zbGFGQTq0 Remix AppleAppleApple]] is rife with these. There's brick jokes and funny background events aplenty, particularly in the scenes involving Pinkie Pie, naturally.
* An in-universe example happens in the [[FiveSecondFilms Five Second Film]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-_YtCF3TXo "The Worst Extra in Hollywood".]]
* A lot of the contributors to ''WebVideo/{{Kickassia}}'' seem to be trying to out-mug each other, making group shots hilarious for picking out different facial expressions in the background.
** They keep it up in ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights''. One notable scene is when one group has to search for the next clue, which is hidden in [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick Elisa's]] basement. As Brad spins a story about them being a group protesting terrible stage shows, you can see the rest of the group behind him giving ''hilarious'' hammy grins and head-nodding. The scene later gets some laughs from the reviewers who did the commentary.
*** And later on, when Benzai stops to pray to Conan, look in the background. First you'll see Jaffers chasing Critic with a sword. Wait a few seconds. Then you'll see ''Critic'' chasing ''Jaffers'' with the ''same sword'', having [[NoodleIncident somehow gotten it off-screen.]]
* ''Website/CollegeHumor'':
** The Originals video "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_YPslQ7UWs Viral Video Politician]]" is purposely built with multiple examples going on, and also includes lots of tropes including speaking with a VaderBreath.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oISLyJDe_ds&list=ELAbgPJNk4vQM&index=4&feature=plpp_video This]] College Humor video has a couple:
*** Pat and Dan are playing mummy-tag with toilet paper, and run through the background of several shots.
*** David mentions that "Amir killed one of the busboys":
-->'''Sarah:''' That did not happen.
-->'''David:''' Yeah, I made that one up.
*** The second one is funnier, since after Sarah and David say in unison "And that's my impression of a drunk person," behind Sarah, you can see Amir strangling a busboy to death.
* The dialogue boxes in Cracked's "[[http://www.cracked.com/blog/revisiting-old-school-text-adventures-as-a-jaded-modern-gamer/ Revisiting Old-School Text Adventures as a Jaded Modern Gamer]].
* Ever since Creator/DougWalker started doing vlogs of ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' with his friends Jason and Jori Laws, their cat Naruto has been making appearances on par with [[WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob Lloyd]] and [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Oreo]].
* ''WebVideo/JonTron'' has unscripted ones in the form of whatever Jacques the parrot is doing for that particular shot, be it taking a flapping leap off elsewhere, weave around as Jon [[LargeHam hams it up]], or simply nibble on stuff, ears included.
* In the stinger for Episode 8 of ''WebAnimation/RWBY'', crime lord Roman Torchwick is seen poring over his next heist. If one looks closely at the map behind him during the scene, they can see that he's labeled a section of it with "Stupid Cops."
