* Used as a bit of AudienceParticipation for ''Film/TheRoom'', which helpfully has an EstablishingShot showing us the film is ''still'' taking place in San Francisco about every five minutes -- oddly, each successive shot gets ''longer'' and ''longer'', including the same previously used footage. So, every time an EstablishingShot is shown, the audience shouts "Meanwhile, in San Francisco...!!"

* ''WebComic/DragonBallZAbridged'' does this a few times in the Saiyan saga. One of them actually goes to the [[WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}} Hall of Justice]], which sets up a joke for Episode 8.

mis-use: the trope is about a scene change that includes a transition mechanism that is some variation of "meanwhile back at...". This can be audio only like a narrator saying "meanwhile" or a visual only mechanism like "meanwhile" appearing on screen. While the two Incredibles stories listed here are technically taking place in in the "meanwhile" zone, there's no transition mechanism between them and the main story.

* ''Franchise/TheIncredibles'':

* WebVideo/YuGiOhGXTheAbridgedSeries has the reoccurring joke of showing Slifer Red's small and unimpressive dorm, a narrator goes, "Meanwhile at the tool-shed!" At one point the narrator quits because he's sick of the joke, but comes back later when he's bought with every time he says "tool-shed" [[FoodAsBribe he gets a watermelon.]]
