History Main / FlashBackBackBack

* Done straight in the film ''PhantomPlanet''... and mocked by ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' in their ninth season. "Congratulations Mrs. Astronaut, it's a boy boy boy...", "Wake up Frank, you wet the bed bed bed...", "Frank, you're the worst party clown we've ever had had had..."

->''"Not another parallel reality!" cried Buster, as everything started to fade and turn {{monochrome| past}}.''\\
''"Relax, Citizen Kincaid. This is merely a flashback scene."''

* The ''Series/{{UFO}}'' episode "The Dalotek Affair"... "The Dalotek Affair"... "The Dalotek Affair"...

* ''Series/DoctorWho'' plays with this trope in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E7TheUnicornAndTheWasp "The Unicorn and the Wasp"]]. Even the Doctor starts to get caught in a flashback at one point.

* In typical ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' style, in the episode "I'm A Little Bit Country", Cartman tries to avoid research on the Revolutionary War by inducing a flashback. This mostly involves getting himself hit in the head, and saying "I wonder what things were like back then. Back then. Back then..."

->''"Not another parallel reality!" cried Buster, as everything started to fade and turn [[MonochromePast monochrome]].''\\

* Series/TheGoesWrongShow attempts this in “A Trial to Watch”, with varying results. The first goes off without a hitch, the second takes so long the guy having the flashback has to yell his line to get a reaction and the third one is triggered by the word “happiness”, which ends up being cut down [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar to remove the first syllable]].

* Lampshaded in Creator/TheFiresignTheatre's "AudioPlay/TheFurtherAdventuresOfNickDanger": "No, no, no, no, no, no! You don't understand how radio works. Now, this is my flashback--all I have to do to return us to the present is fade my voice out like this and cue the organist!"

* ''Series/DoctorWho'' plays with this trope in the episode [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E7TheUnicornAndTheWasp "The Unicorn and the Wasp"]]. Even the Doctor starts to get caught in a flashback at one point.
* In ''Series/GoodLuckCharlie'', in the episode "Guys & Dolls", PJ lampshades this trope. He hears Gabe's voice in his head saying, "You're just like dad, dad, dad..." then he asks himself, "Why do flashbacks always echo?" or something like that.

* Chewbacca in ''Film/TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial''. [[SarcasmMode It's subtle.]]
* The ''Series/{{UFO}}'' episode The Dalotek Affair...The Dalotek Affair...The Dalotek Affair...

* While most of the flashbacks in the Supertrooper duology of ''[[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers Galaxy Rangers]]'' avoid this, the scene where Shane is forced to become a HunterOfHisOwnKind uses this effect partly to make the scene feel even more oppressive.

* ''WebVideo/YugiohTheAbridgedSeries'': "Odion stop being such a BABY baby baby baby..........." flashes back to the time when Odion was a baby.
* Invoked in a ''WebVideo/JoueurDuGrenier'' episode where he is told he can start a flashback by echoing the last thing he said.

* Subverted in one ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode, Peter triggers a flashback in Lois's brother by saying [[TheHoneymooners "Pow! Right in the kisser"]], while dressed up as Ralph Kramden. Cut back to the present and Peter is actually saying the phrase over and over.

'''Psycrow:''' It ''was''' yesterday.\\

* Parodied in the ''WaynesWorld'' movie as Wayne and Garth (in their typical low-budget way) literally walk on screen to back the plot up and work out a better ending by waving their hands across the screen and going "Doodooleeloo! Doodooleeloo!"

* In ''{{Nebulous}}'', the Professor's frequent flashbacks to his childhood at the circus are heralded by an echo of him saying "I'm not a clown". Lampshaded when at one point, a character asks why he was lying on the floor muttering the world "clown", and at another time when the word "cloud" sets him off instead.
