* ''Series/{{Drive}}'' had Wendy assigned to remove Ivy from the race (or at least her team). She first delays them by shooting out one of the tires on their Land Rover, then tries to shoot Ivy herself. However, she hesitates and Ivy disarms her. After finding out why Wendy is in the race, Ivy decides to team up with her instead. When they get into Wendy's minivan together, Wendy nervously says "I think that maybe I should have shot you." Cut to outside the van and the reveal that Ivy shot out the other tires on the Land Rover as a parting shot.

* ''Series/OddSquad'': The Season 2 premiere, "First Day", opens up with the ColdOpen of Olive and Otto helping Ronnie and Donnie with an odd problem, seemingly [[{{Retcon}} retconning]] "O is Not For Over" and undoing them [[spoiler: becoming Odd Squad Directors and running their own precinct.]] However, as Ronnie and Donnie go for a celebratory chestbump and become stuck in midair, calling for Odd Squad again, the scene is paused, and the camera pans out to show that it's merely a clip being played on the monitor of a classroom at the Odd Squad Academy.
** At the beginning of "O vs. the Ballcano", Olive and Otto are shown in the Breakroom, with the former holding a timer and instructing the latter to keep his hands steady and to "cross the red one over and through the blue". As Olive counts down, the scene cuts to a wide shot of the pair, and it's revealed that Otto was tying his shoes and was attempting to beat his record of how fast he can tie them.
** In "It's Not Easy Being Chill", Omar is shown building something and tells Orpita, an agent-in-training that he is tasked with caring for, that he's going to teach her something that she won't learn at the Odd Squad Academy. The camera then pans out to show that what he's building is a stack of nachos, which he places a jalapeno pepper slice on.

* A commercial for Temptations cat treats has a man sitting on his patio tossing the treats to a cat that's jumping and catching them in mid-air. Near the end of the commercial, a woman comes out of the house and asks the man what he's doing. He tells her "Watch this" and tosses the cat another treat. This time, we see the patio is on the second floor and the cat is jumping from the ground.



* ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' was a big fan of this trope. One particular example from the episode ''Bringing Up Buster'': George Sr. is detailing to Michael all the ways Buster has failed him as a son. We hear a prolonged, familiar yawn and the camera pulls out to reveal Buster sitting between them; he then states simply, "We're just blowin' through nap time, aren't we?"

** In "Spring Break-Out", Lucille is shown climbing out of her car and walking away with the narrator explaining that she had decided she was too drunk to drive. She then walks past the front of the car which is crumpled against a column. The narrator then adds it was after a failed attempt to do so.
** The first episode of the fourth season has Michael finally able to secure funding to complete the Sudden Valley housing development. The remaining houses are built and Michael basks in his success...just in time for the housing market to collapse. After hearing this news, he walks out of the model home in a daze and strolls out to the sidewalk. There, he looks around and says "No, that's not a great sign." The camera pulls back to reveal a vulture perched on a transformer.

* The second season of ''Series/TwentyFour'' had Kim and her boyfriend arrested for the murder of her boss' wife. They're desperate to escape because of the nuclear bomb that's set to go off, so they force the police transport they're in to crash. Kim's able to escape, but her boyfriend is trapped in the wreck. Much later, Kim is taken into custody where she learns that she and her boyfriend have been cleared of the charges. She calls him and we see him lying in a hospital bed. He breaks up with her over the phone and then hangs up. Then the camera pulls back to reveal his leg has been amputated.



* Ted from ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' tries to restart a romance with a former girlfriend. Their breakup was especially painful because he broke up with her on her birthday. This is revealed with a shot of her answering machine as Ted leaves the breakup message on it. When he meets with her, she reveals that the breakup was worse than he thinks. We cut back to the answering machine as he leaves the message and the camera pulls back to reveal her friends staring at it in shock as they wait to perform a surprise party.



* ''Series/TheTerrorInfamy'' plays this for tearjerking drama. In one episode, Yamato-San meets an old friend who's arriving in the afterlife. Yamato asks what became of him, and the friend says that his father moved to Hiroshima, where he himself grew up, married and had two children, three grandchildren and a great-granchild. The ForegoneConclusion sets in just as the camera spins slightly around to reveal the man's entire family, down to the small great-grandchild, standing behind him.

* One episode of ''Series/FullHouse'', "Is It True about Stephanie?", sees Stephanie make a date with a boy named Jamie. Unfortunately, Gia, the [[TheBully school bully]], likes Jamie too, and so spreads a nasty rumor that Stephanie paid him to ask her out. An upset Stephanie teams up with her friend Mickey to get revenge by stealing a copy of Gia's abysmal report card and enlarging to poster-size, then hanging it in the school hallways for all to see. Stephanie goes over to gloat to Gia...at which point the other girl turns around and shows that she's [[DidYouThinkICantFeel silently crying.]] This promptly causes a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment for Stephanie, who eventually offers friendship to Gia as an apology.

* Used in ''Film/ILoveYouPhillipMorris''. Early in the movie it is suggested that Steven (the protagonist) is heterosexual and happily married. In a scene he is shown passionately kissing his wife, and the camera cuts into a scene of Steven having sex, his sexual partner being off-screen. One can't help but to assume he is having sex with his wife, until the camera pans out revealing his sexual partner to be a ''man''... To top this off Steven narrates: "Oh, did I forget to mention I'm gay?"

** Used brilliantly again in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' when early in the movie, the Star Destoyers are shown again in their majestic glory when all of a sudden they start getting eclipsed by something. The audience is keenly aware that something ''massive'' is above these things we were so in awe of in the first movie. The camera switches to a lower angle pointing upwards as a Star Destroyer looks so small compared to the ship above where just a portion of it fills the scene. Then, the camera reveals in all its glory Vader's new flagship, the ''Executor'', a Super Star Destroyer that makes every other ship look like an insect.
** ''Film/TheForceAwakens'': While fleeing from the TIE-fighters' bombardment on Jakku, Rey dismisses the off-screen spaceship Finn is suggesting as "garbage", but the other ship they were heading to gets blown up. This leads to the decision that "the garbage will do", with the camera panning to reveal to the audience that the aforementioned piece of junk happens to be the ''Millennium Falcon''.

* A series of [[DrunkDriver drunk driving]] [=PSAs=] used this:
** One opens with two pairs of hands polishing a wood surface while two men talk about a friend of theirs who's a known party animal. It seems like they're polishing a bar...until the camera pulls back and reveals they're polishing a coffin. The men then talk about the friend's death as a result of a drunk driving accident.
** Another opens with a close-up of flowers while two women talk about a date one of them went on. The flowers were a gift from her date, right? No. The camera pulls back to reveal they're actually laid in front of a tombstone. The woman who went on the date then talks about how she wishes she'd gone on the date with the man whose name is on the tombstone.
** A third has the camera panning across a nice car while two men talk about it. One of the men is the brother of the car's owner. When the camera gets to the front of the car, we see the front end is severely damaged as if it hit something. Then owner's brother then reveals that his brother drove while drunk and crashed, totaling the car. (He also implies his brother died as a result.)

** One strip has a close-up of Plato and Beetle looking at each other when Plato says "Did you know that if it weren't for the Potato Famine, UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy would never have become president?" In the second panel, we see they're peeling potatoes and Beetle says "Plato, only you could think of that at a time like this."

Black Best Friend has been renamed to Token Black Friend, it's unclear whether this is actually an example of that trope.


* Used as a fakeout and then straight-up within one scene in the ''Series/{{Alias}}'' episode "Phase One", which ends with [[BigBad Sloane]] telling [[TheDragon Sark]] to 'check in on [their] new asset'. The sound of a ringing phone transitions to the next scene, where it is revealed Sark is calling...[[BlackBestFriend Francie]]! However, the camera then pans around to another angle to show the real Francie's corpse with a bullet wound in the forehead.

* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'': In ''Fellowship of the Ring'' -- we open with a shot of a dark menacing tower in Mordor, apparently Barad-dûr, home of Sauron. Then the camera pulls back... and back... and back... until we are able to get a full view of the ''ungodly immense, dozens of times larger and infinitely more menacing'' tower that is the ''true'' Barad-dûr, revealing the initial tower we saw as one of the hundreds of (relatively) tiny lookout towers spaced around Barad-dûr's outer wall.
