* In the ''Literature/ThursdayNext'' series, all literary characters are actually AnimatedActors, and they reenact their scenes every time someone reads or rereads their book. So outside influences (or the characters' own off-page lives) can make even published stories play differently from one reading to the next. For example, in the ''The Eyre Affair'', Thursday pursues the villain Acheron Hades into the pages of ''Literature/JaneEyre'', and the resulting chaos permanently changes the ending...

Is important to point that this trope is not "a show that happens to be live" or "a show that happens to be interrupted". This is for a show that is being transmitted live when it would actually make more sense for it to be recorded. Doesn't apply for transmissions that are expected to be live, like news or sports. Is specially ridiculous if done with commercials.

In fiction land, it doesn't matter if you are watching a series, a movie, a commercial, or even a cartoon, they are always live, therefore they can always be interrupted in universe, or the actor will always slip in a horrible way, with no chance of a second take. Is specially ridiculous when is implied that they are doing the exact same thing with each take, yet it's always live.

* Lelouch from ''Anime/CodeGeass'' [[ExploitedTrope exploits]] this trope at least twice for his schemes, duping his marks ([[spoiler:Mao in the first season, and ''Schneizel'' in the second]]) into thinking they are communicating with him live via a TV screen, whereas in reality, he prerecorded his lines (correctly [[TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat predicting what they would say]]) and uses this distraction to sneak up on them within range of his [[CompellingVoice Geass]].
* There's a scene in ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' where Cell invades a television studio to announce his Cell Games. In the manga he just barges into the news room which could be justified as a live broadcast, but in the anime he walks through the front door and flies up to the top of the building, crashing through each floor on the way. And the Z Fighters are able to track him by channel hopping, implying [[UpToEleven EVERY show that studio broadcasts is live]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/CatsDontDance'' we have Woolie, an elephant that is the mascot of Mammoth Studios, they use him as their VanityPlate (parodying MGM). Instead of filming him doing his stunt and playing it for all their movies, Woolie has to do the act for every new movie of the studio.
* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2''. At the end, when the villain has lost the toys he was set to sell for millions, we see him in a commercial where he breaks into tears in the middle of it.

[[folder:Film - Live Action]]
* ''Film/DirtyWork'' features a commercial for a car dealership which is broadcast live. Mitch and Sam interrupt the ad by revealing that the cars are all "loaded with dead hookers!" (actually, Sam and Mitch hired a bunch of prostitutes to play dead), then use the stolen spotlight to advertise their own revenge-for-hire business. And the commercial actually earns them a bunch of new customers.
* ''Film/SpaceJam''. Michael Jordan's kids are watching WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadrunner, when out of nowhere Porky comes in to say everyone is needed immediately and everybody leaves the scene. The kids are left with only an empty background to see.

[[folder:Literature]]
* In the ''Literature/ThursdayNext'' series, all literary characters are actually AnimatedActors, and they reenact their scenes every time someone reads or rereads their book. So outside influences (or the characters' own off-page lives) can make even published stories play differently from one reading to the next. For example, in the ''The Eyre Affair'', Thursday pursues the villain Acheron Hades into the pages of ''Literature/JaneEyre'', and the resulting chaos permanently changes the ending... [[HistoricalInJoke to the one we're familiar with]].

* ''Series/TheBradyBunch'',
** In one episode, Cindy won a spot on a college bowl-type quiz show for elementary school kids. Sure enough, the show was broadcast live, and Cindy froze up when the red camera light came on. And the light was on ''continuously'' for duration of the show; no breaks for commercials or anything.
** Subverted the episode ''"Getting Davy Jones"'', Jan is desperately trying to meet The Monkees' lead singer while he's in town. When Davy is being interviewed on a local TV program, they race down to the TV studio to catch him before the show is over. When they get there, the station page can't figure out why a teen girl wants to meet the head of the Dept. of Sanitation so much! That's who was being interviewed that day; shows were taped (exactly) 24 hours in advance.
* In ''Series/HeadOfTheClass'', Mr. Moore takes an acting gig playing an InsaneProprietor in a series of late night commercials, all of which air live.
* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000:'' From season 11 onward, the show is broadcast via Kinga Forrester's proprietary liquid video technology, which is great at [[StealthPun streaming video]] but terrible for recording. So instead of recording the show's opening theme, Kinga forces Jonah and the rest of the cast to reenact it, every episode. This hasn't resulted in the opening song going off-script (yet), but every ColdOpen ends with Jonah getting rudely pulled away from whatever he's doing so he can start the reenactment.

* In the ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' universe, [[NoInnerFourthWall the inner fourth wall is flimsy enough]] that even a cartoon can somehow be a live broadcast. The episode [[Recap/StrongBadEmailE126BestThing "best thing"]] features the cartoon ''[[BandToon Limozeen:]] [[RecycledInSpace But They're In Space!]]'', which gets canceled in the middle of broadcasting the pilot episode. The cartoon characters have just enough time to react to their impending cancellation.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}''' espisode "The Word of the Day", [[BrattyHalfPint Angelica]] overhears a kids' show host saying a "fun phrase" (Miss Carol, the host, [[DepravedKidsShowHost isn't very fond of kids]]) so Angelica decides to say that phrase during the show. When it goes live everyone hears Angelica [[SoundEffectBleep saying the word]], and the exasperated Miss Carol follows through, ruining her career. It might be justified since they were holding a contest, but seem unlikely that a little kids show might go live.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''
** One episode has the new Terrance and Philip show being shown live when Kyle and his group, Millenials against Canada, takes over the studio. It's notable in that the show is backed by Creator/{{Netflix}} who dont do live shows.
** The dilemma of "With Apologies To Jesse Jackson" is pivoted when Randy says the n-word on ''Wheel of Fortune'', causing a nationwide scandal. The characters are sure to note the show was broadcast live, which isn't the case for its real life counterpart.
