Summary: Both people on a phone call are shown simultaneously.
SplitScreen is one of those camera tricks that were never really popular... except for depicting people calling each other on the telephone, that is.
A common cartoon gag with this is where the shouting character's portion of screen expands and/or the timid character's portion shrinks. Very useful when the tide of the argument shifts, moving that diagonal back and forth showing who's in charge. It's also common for cartoon characters to [[ReachingBetweenTheLines reach across]] the [[ExploitingTheFourthWall screen split]] and directly interact with the person on the other end of the line. It is sometimes parodied when the split is removed and it is revealed that [[ShortDistancePhoneCall the characters are actually next to each other.]]
Even though there is nothing inherently comedic about this trick (and, when applied wisely, it can be a useful tool to portray two characters in an equal position with only the viewer deciding who to focus attention on, something not quite common outside of the theater. Plus, it eliminates the need for RepeatingSoTheAudienceCanHear), [[AnimationAgeGhetto it's rather hard to come by in any non-animated fiction that tries to take itself seriously]].

* One The ''Series/{{Coupling}}'' episode did this with an answerphone."Split" does this, when Steve calls Susan in the wake of their breakup, though he hangs up before her phone can do more than "chirp" at her. The next few minutes have Steve trying again in poorly thought-out attempts to stop her from finding out who called the first time. The entire episode was an object lesson on weird/cool stuff you can do with splitscreen.

* ''[[Series/TwentyFour 24]]'' does this ''a lot''. According to the DVD extras for the first season, 24’s entire split-screen look was born of necessity when the editor realised the pilot involved a lot of phone calls. He was using a common computer editing setup that showed two separate takes running side-by-side and decided to apply that visual metaphor in the actual show.
