* ''WesternAnimation/JackJackAttack'' focuses on what happened with Jack-Jack and babysitter Kari at the Parr house during the events of ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'', with the other Parr family members fighting [[BigBad Syndrome]] and his {{Mooks}} on Nomanisan Island.
* ''WesternAnimation/AuntieEdna'' focuses on what happened with Jack-Jack and Edna at her mansion during the events of ''WesternAnimation/Incredibles2'', with the other Parr family members being absent.

* A slightly different flavor in the first two installments of ''VideoGame/PaperMario'', where you actually control the character the scenes revolve around (in both cases Peach) instead of a cutscene. Played straight in ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'', with cutscenes of Count Bleck and his minions.

* ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'' does this twice, both times when Kitten accidentally pushes one of Emperor's many {{Berserk Button}}s. The first time, they cut to Imperial Guard regiment stuck in the severe Warp storm, the other, we see a group of Mars techpriests talking about a newly-discovered STC.

* ''Webcomic/Skullkickers''. After [[spoiler:Shorty dies in a shipwreck]] a number of the following pages show the focus characters going about the main plot - but the last panel on each page cuts back to [[spoiler:Shorty's corpse floating in the ocean.]]

* In Creator/WilliamShakespeare's ''Theatre/TwelfthNight'' Act III scenes 2 & 4 overlap timewise. In scene 2 Sir Toby, Sir Andrew & Fabian have a scene, then Maria comes to get Toby & Fabian to see how ridiculous Malvolio is acting in front of Olivia. In scene 4 Olivia has called Malvolio, he appears and acts ridiculous at her, Maria disappears; then Olivia leaves and Maria reappears with Toby & Fabian.

[[folder: Film ]]

* [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]] in the French film ''Film/LaCiteDeLaPeur'': while the film is set in Cannes, France, it sometimes cuts to Vera Cruz, Mexico, with the obligatory off-voice narration "Meanwhile, in Vera Cruz..." The Vera Cruz scenes have absolutely no relevance to the plot and only show a woman shopping at a grocery store.

* ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'' - Has this a lot during the first season, showing the behind the scene machinations with the test administrators and the journey of Yuri Zahard. In the second season, the Koon also has some meanwhile scenes, as do some of the rankers again.

A scene that takes place somewhere else than where the main characters are. Usually used to cut to villains or other plot-important characters to show what they're doing, in order to build up {{Foreshadowing}} and drama. Beware of {{Cryptic Conversation}}s.

* OnePiece has an interesting variation of this in the manga. Instead of jumping during the story, each cover for each chapter(besides the one with NonSequitur) develops a mini-story exploring what happened to characters from a previous arc.

* In episode 7 of ''Manga/KotouraSan'', Haruka haven't been able to contact Manabe and asked Yuriko and Dai'chi for assistance. Yuriko thought he maybe doing ThisAndThat with Hiyori, but Dai'chi disagreed, saying she's still [[BookDumb still struggling]] for her summer assignments. The scene then cut to the Moritani dojo and we see Hiyori's desk was moved to the middle of the hall, being surrounded by trainers.

* [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]] in the French film ''LaCiteDeLaPeur'': while the film is set in Cannes, France, it sometimes cuts to Vera Cruz, Mexico, with the obligatory off-voice narration "Meanwhile, in Vera Cruz..." The Vera Cruz scenes have absolutely no relevance to the plot and only show a woman shopping at a grocery store.
