History Main / IdiosyncraticWipes

* ''Anime/{{Tamagotchi}}! Yume Kira Dream'''s webtoon adaptation ''Tamagotchi Friends'' transitions between scenes by using a wipe featuring a bunch of blue starts that slide across the screen.

* ''Manga/FruitsBasket'' has a unique "ka-ching wipe" for each commercial break, and between certain scenes of the show. There is an extra feature on the American DVD release that plays them all sequentially.

* This example is also parodied in ''Disney/RalphBreaksTheInternet'', but with the Disney Castle logo taking the place of the bat logo.
* In Disney's ''Disney/SaludosAmigos'', the "Gaucho Goofy" segment features some imaginative wipes, a couple where a solid line moves from one side of the screen to the other, [[BreakingTheFourthWall pushing Goofy and his horse along with it.]]

* The ''Series/{{Batman}}'' example below is parodied once on ''WesternAnimation/FlushedAway''.

* ''Series/{{Batman}}''. The bat symbol (with a spinning psychedelic background sometimes) would flash on screen with a snippet of the theme music. Whenever idiosyncratic wipes are played for laughs, this is the one most often parodied.

** The ''Series/{{Batman}}'' version has also been parodied several times, once for Child Safety Services.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}'' often parodies the ''Series/{{Batman}}'' example above, the Batsymbol replaced with Freakazoid's face going "whoooOOAAaaaa..." as he gets zoomed in and out. Sometimes it would instead use Freakazoid's symbol. And sometimes Freakazoid's head would hit the screen, causing a sound and him to be (sometimes) frowning when he zoomed back out.

** ''Anime/TransformersRobotsInDisguise'' had CGI versions of the faction symbols, at least in the English dub. They were also used in ''Anime/TransformersArmada'', but their use was inconsistent. They were dropped entirely for ''Anime/TransformersEnergon'' and ''Anime/TransformersCybertron''.

** This example is also parodied in ''Disney/RalphBreaksTheInternet'', but with the Disney Castle logo taking the place of the bat logo.

* In ''Film/TankGirl'' scene transitions involved showing some comic book panels in between scenes.

* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' does this by going to commercial breaks with the "phunt" of a camera flashbulb, the scene turning monochrome, and a slow zoom of a still shot of the ending of the next scene. The early seasons had the actors moving in this shot; later seasons (around season 4 or so) featured a freeze-frame of the scene.** The sound is actually creator Creator/DonaldPBellisario making said noise into a mic. The spin-off ''Series/NCISLosAngeles'' has something similar, except it uses a rapid-fire stream of photos.

* In ''Series/{{Warehouse 13}}'', scenes inside the Warehouse often end with a wipe of a crate slamming shut; scenes out in the field, with a wipe of a [[CommLinks Farnsworth]] shutting off.
* ''Series/StargateSG1''

'''Martin:''' At this point, nothing! Act 3 just ends! (''the scene then just ends'')

* ''Series/{{Joe 90}}'' would end each scene by shrinking the picture into a small box, and begin the next scene with the process in reverse.

* ''LateNightWithJimmyFallon'' uses a similar graphic during "Name That Guy". According to Jimmy, old wipes from the some were all they could afford.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Horseland}}'' has a common transition in which the background of the next scene fades in behind the character before they disappear, and vice versa. The FramingDevice at the beginning and end of each episode also feature a blurring flare wipe to the main story and back.

* The scene transitions in the 1976 ''All New Super Friends Hour'' used a swirling rainbow with an "SF" shield coming toward you in the center. The 1977 ''Challenge of the Super Friends'' instead used a shot of deep space with (apparently) three photon torpedoes coming toward you. This latter transition shot became so popular with the show's creative team that later reruns of the 1976 series ''replaced'' the swirling-rainbow-SF-shield transition with the photon torpedo transition.

* ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'', until the 2001 reboot, used a transition similar to the 1970's Batman, but with a yellow "D" on a white-and-purple spiraly background. The Justice Friends ShowWithinAShow also used a "JF". The sound that played during the transitions was exactly the same as the 1980's Superfriends wipe.

* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'':
** Episode "1+1=Ed": In one of that episode's many NoFourthWall moments, Edd quips "An original scene transition! Interesting," as one of them occurs.
** Another example involved Ed saying "End of first sequence, and fade to black." as the screen did just that.

* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' does this by going to commercial breaks with the "phunt" of a camera flashbulb, the scene turning monochrome, and a slow zoom of a still shot of the ending of the next scene. The early seasons had the actors moving in this shot; later seasons (around season 4 or so) featured a freeze-frame of the scene.** The sound is actually creator [[DonaldPBellisario Donald Bellisario ]] making said noise into a mic. The spin-off ''Series/NCISLosAngeles'' has something similar, except it uses a rapid-fire stream of photos.
