* ''HaveIGotNewsForYou'': In this clip [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ0V-76W8R4&feature=related at the four minute mark]] the host mentions that since the show is on video you can fast forward through the boring bits. He goes on to explain the next game the panel will be playing and the film is sped up and his voice is made to sound like he is on helium and is unintelligible. He makes several odd hand gestures and eventually produces a fire extinguisher before the show returns to normal speed.

** During said speech Nyarko remarks that her boss is unreasonable, naps all the time, and gets "destroy-the-universe angry" if you wake him up -- which reveals to fans of the CthulhuMythos that said boss is Azathoth, the deity who exists above all others in the Mythos[[note]]as well as Nyarlathotep's father in Lovecraft's stories, though this doesn't seem to be the case for ''Nyarko-san''[[/note]].

* In ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'', [=GLaDOS=] says that she has to tell you something important about the testing chamber you're in. Being [=GLaDOS=], she skips through the warning quite quickly. [[spoiler: Slowed down, she's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaYurdD3Q8M&feature=player_embedded reciting a passage from]] ''MobyDick''.]]

* In ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'', the villains attempt to find the heroes by '[[MediumAwareness playing the ''Spaceballs'' videotape]]. They end up doing this when they come to their "LudicrousSpeed" fiasco.

* In ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'', this trope leads to another gag involving the villains watching themselves.

* ''Anime/FullMetalPanicFumoffu''. The art teacher is asked to explain the "Humans and Nature" project to the class. After [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible rambling incomprehensibly]] for several minutes, he's asked to sum things up. His 'summary' is the same speech, sped up.

* ''Anime/FullMetalPanicFumoffu''. Kaname explaining to ChasteHero Sousake how to pick up girls.
** In the OAV of ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'', Mardukas chews out two of his subordinates, with an establishing shot of the island showing the conversation lasts until sunset.

* Done in the ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' episode "To Master the Onix-pected", when Meowth uses a remote to fast-forward Team Rocket's motto.

* In ''TomodachiLife'' a Mii can ask you to listen to what he or she has to say about either their couple. After a little while of talking, they start getting fast-forwarded while the subtitles read "Yadda yadda yadda", "Something something something" and "Blather blather blather". They finish with a normal speed "And that's why (Couple) is the best boy/girl I could ever wish for!"

* This is a common gag in ''HowIMetYourMother'', with the film reaching regular speed to give key snippets. Mostly done with couples' fighting, or various [[SeinfeldianConversation Seinfeldian Conversations]] like Duck vs Rabbit, reasons to have sex, or insults towards Canada.

This is where a television show or film will speed up the film and the comedy comes from the actions you see the actors perform. Audio is similarly sped up and is unintelligible and the action that occurs on screen will often go from somewhat logical to outright absurd.

* In ''PaRappaTheRapper'', Joe Chin's dialogue speeds up as soon as his speeches become so long-winded that it just shocks everyone he encounters.

* In a ''HowIMetYourMother'' episode, a couple's fight is portrayed this way, with the film reaching regular speed to give key snippets.
** In another, this is done to [[SeinfeldianConversation an hour-long conversation]] consisting of naming a better candy than the last one named.

* Used in ''TheDementedCartoonMovie'', where two guys are trying to fly a rocketship to Mars. After a handful of failed attempts, one of them decides to spare the viewers the trouble of watching it all again and fast-forwards through it...only to go further than intended and wind up knee-deep in Zeeky bombs. .

** Fans of the CthulhuMythos will also note that said dialog officially confirms Nyarko's boss is Azathoth, since she remarks that he naps all the time and if you wake him up, he gets mad enough to destroy the universe.

* In an episode of ''[[SuperDeformed Mini]] VideoGame/SengokuBasara'', Motonari writes an extremely bombastic letter to the anime director, which Motochika attempts to read. After the fast-forward, it's revealed Motochika passed out in the process.

* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' has Steve wanting to tell his father something important, but he's not home, so we get a fast-forward of him patiently waiting for Stan.

* In the first volume of ''LightNovel/HaiyoreNyarkoSan'', Nyarko gives a ''[[MotorMouth very]]'' long-winded explanation for why she's on Earth. In the anime adaptation of that scene, as soon as she begins speaking, a VHS-like fast-forward effect appears and skips through it. Slowing this sequence down by 50% reveals that she's launching into the exact same rambling speech from the novel, but only gets partway through before she's cut off by [[StraightMan Mahiro]] summarizing the entire thing in a single sentence.

* In the first episode of ''LightNovel/HaiyoreNyarkoSan'', Nyarko's long-winded explanation of what she's doing on Earth gets fast-forwarded. If you slow it down 50%, it becomes audible and is a quote from the original light novel where she confirms that her boss is Azathoth ("This is a company assignment kind of job. Ah, my boss has a strict way of handling employees even though he dozes off all the time, and if he's woken up...", with the novel continuing "... he gets angry enough that the universe gets blown away.").
