Line #23 FreezeFrameBonus/LiveActionTV


1	----
2	* Every episode of everything by Chuck Lorre Productions. He uses his VanityPlate like a blog. And if you miss it, you can always find the archive on [[http://www.chucklorre.com his site.]]
3	----
4	* ''Series/TwentyFour'': In the first season finale, as [[spoiler:Nina Myers]] attempts to escape CTU after being exposed and covers her tracks, some pictures of the cast and crew are shown.
5	* ''Series/ThirtyRock'': Liz makes a large pro and con list for her deadbeat boyfriend Dennis. Pros include "too lazy to cheat", "already seen me throw up twice" and "takes good care of his feet". Cons include "listens to Music/{{Winger}}", "doesn't like his mother", "his mother doesn't like me" and "I don't like his mother".
6	* ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'': In "The Well", the online message board of a neo-paganist hate group is shown for about a second. If you pause it and read the messages, you'll notice that one is amusingly off-topic.
7	%%* ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' uses this trope often, and it's one of the main reasons that makes it BetterOnDVD.
8	* ''{{Series/Arrow}}'', In the 3rd episode, "Lone Gunman", a bit of plot development is revealed as one of the names tattooed on [[spoiler:Deadshot]]'s chest during a camera shot is Andrew Diggle.
9	* Episode 6 of ''Series/AvataroSentaiDonbrothers'' features one. When Miho is rushed to the hospital, said hospital is named the Honno Kakusei Hospital. "Honno Kakusei" is the transformation call of [[Series/DoubutsuSentaiZyuohger the Zyuohgers]] and might be a hint that someone who works there is going to become a monster based on Zyuohger.
10	* ''Series/BabylonFive'':
11	** In the pilot movie "The Gathering", an assassin scans his hand to enter the quarters of a tech smuggler. Some fans with lucid freeze-frames on their [=VCRs=] noticed that the authorization message read, "Laurel Takashima cleared". This hinted at a plot in the planned arc in which it would turn out that Laurel Takashima, the executive officer of Babylon 5, was a mole from a hostile force. Unfortunately, between the pilot and the series, the character of Laurel Takashima was PutOnABus and her planned plots divided between other characters.
12	** In the episode "And Now For a Word", a commercial for Psi-Corps has the line "The Corps is your friend, trust the Corps" flash for a brief moment.
13	** In the FinaleCredits pictures of the production and filming crew are inserted in this manner. With the narrator of the [[ShowWithinAShow ISN Special Documentary]] ''telling the viewers at home'' [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes who are recording the show]] what is about to happen.
14	* In early episodes of ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'', a letter board in the classroom would have short messages on it, such as "Friends are special", or the names of letters, colors, numbers, or shapes. The classroom which was in use at the end of season five was too small to accommodate the returning cast for ''Sing and Dance with Barney'', so a small chalkboard in the treehouse fills that role in that instance.
15	* ''Series/TheBarrier'': Freezing the screen right when some documents are shown is necessary to catch the full names of some characters. Several of the in-series indications that the plot is taking place in 2045 qualify, such as the photo of a ten-year-old character that is part of a presentation listing her birth year as 2035.
16	* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': At the end of the episode "Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind", a character is seen in a classroom opening up a book [[spoiler:which is supposed to be about assassination techniques]]. The page is shown just long enough for the audience to parse a more on-topic chapter heading, but most of the other text consists of the lyrics to [[Music/TheBeatles "Happiness Is A Warm Gun"]].
17	* ''Series/{{Community}}'':
18	** In the cold open of the episode [[Recap/CommunityS2E04BasicRocketScience Basic Rocket Science]], the Dean's desktop wallpaper is of two people in dalmatian costumes, a CallBack to the [[Recap/CommunityS1E25PascalsTriangleRevisited season 1 finale]].
19	** In the second-season episode [[Recap/CommunityS2E07AerodynamicsOfGender "Aerodynamics of Gender"]], Abed imagines himself as Franchise/RoboCop with a first-person heads-up display. Reading the margins of the screen shows Abed reminding himself to record ''Series/CougarTown'', keeping a running synopsis of the episode, and tracking the female characters' monthly cycles!
20	*** The cycles chart comes up again [[Recap/CommunityS2E08CooperativeCalligraphy in the next episode.]]
21	*** He also reminds himself to "confirm Mom for Christmas," which foreshadows [[Recap/CommunityS2E11AbedsUncontrollableChristmas the Christmas episode]], and "sell study group on [[Recap/CommunityS2E23AFistfulOfPaintballs paintball]] [[Recap/CommunityS2E24ForAFewPaintballsMore sequel.]]"
22	* In a ''Series/CriminalMinds'' episode, criminals are hiding their activities by listing fake business names in their appointment books that are all named for video game characters. There's one more than the names spoken out loud by the characters: you can briefly see one of the appointment books with "[[VideoGame/AssassinsCreed2 Ezio's]] Flower Shop" listed on it.
23	* If you pause the title sequence of ''Series/TheDailyShowWithTrevorNoah'' at just the right moment, "Thanks for pausing your DVR" is printed right [[http://i.imgur.com/mTStR3G.jpg under the globe]].
24	* In an episode of ''Series/DanceAcademy'', a class ranking is posted on a bulletin board. The names go by quickly, but this class apparently has students named "Marie Taglioni" (the name of a famous 19th-century ballerina) and "Samantha Strauss" (the show's main screenwriter). Since the show focuses on about six students, with the rest mostly being nameless extras, they had to populate those lists somehow…
25	* ''Series/Daredevil2015'':
26	** Sunita Deshpande, who plays Ray Nadeem's wife Seema in season 3, [[https://twitter.com/SunitaDeshpande/status/1087742130645274627 has pointed out]] that a close observer may notice that all pictures on the walls in the Nadeems' house are of Sunita's family (though none of Jay Ali's family, as he had to move across the country to New York when he got cast as Ray).
27	** A close observer will notice in Foggy and Marci's apartment in season 3 [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/1483a5941c1b794d6f7a9a722081bba8/tumblr_inline_ph9kcxKZ0Q1t07l1o_540.png a photograph of the two]] [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/bdfdfab9dc51714ee1dac51698e9b680/tumblr_inline_ph9kesCDAh1t07l1o_540.png at a fancy party]] on a table adjacent to the couch in their living room. [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/09157d1fef90000b4ad863352b5dbd05/tumblr_inline_ph9kfqGTuv1t07l1o_540.png Turns out]] it's a photo of Elden Henson and Amy Rutberg taken at the ''Daredevil'' season 2 premiere in March 2016.
28	* ''[[Series/DestinationFear2019 Destination Fear]]'': As pointed out by Dakota and the others during a vlog on Twitter, they pointed out that they hid a rubber duck in every episode, due to it being a memento of a place they investigated during their filming of ''Trails of Terror''.
29	* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
30	** Almost any text appearing in the series proves on inspection to have more flavour than Lorem Ipsum. In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E12TheSoundOfDrums "The Sound of Drums"]], for example, a newspaper article allegedly about Harold Saxon that appears for less than half a second really is an article about Harold Saxon.
31	** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E1NewEarth "New Earth"]]: The knockout spray Cassandra hides in Rose's cleavage can be seen peeping out of her shirt in several shots before she uses it on the Doctor in the hospital's Intensive Care.
32	** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E3SchoolReunion "School Reunion"]]:
33	*** Deffry Vale school is plastered with posters exhorting the students to "EAT MORE CHIPS".
34	*** In a rather charming moment, pausing right at the end of the Doctor and Sarah Jane's reunion shows that both of them have the same "8D" grin.
35	** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E7TheIdiotsLantern "The Idiot's Lantern"]]: The label of the video tape the Doctor traps the Wire on has some scribbled-out Circular Gallifreyan writing on it, like he couldn't think of a good name for it.
36	** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E10LoveAndMonsters "Love & Monsters"]]: When Elton and Ursula come back to get her phone after dramatically storming out, Kennedy is reading a newspaper. Taking a good look will reveal that the headline [[{{Foreshadowing}} is]] "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E6TheLazarusExperiment SAXON]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E11Utopia LEADS]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E12TheSoundOfDrums IN]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E13LastOfTheTimeLords POLLS]]".
37	** Another one from [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E12TheSoundOfDrums "The Sound of Drums"]]: Martha's TV has a [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E7TheIdiotsLantern Magpie Electricals]] sticker on it.
38	*** As does the Doctor's guitar amp in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E4BeforeTheFlood "Before the Flood"]].
39	** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E5ThePoisonSky "The Poison Sky"]]: Rose can briefly be seen on the TARDIS' viewscreen yelling the Doctor's name before it switches to a view of the UNIT control room.
40	** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E16TheWatersOfMars "The Waters of Mars"]]: The Doctor makes a big deal out of Mia Bennett being only 27 years old. But taking a look at the articles shown about the other members of the crew reveal that Yuri is also 27 and Roman is 25. In fact, Roman's article describes him as the youngest member of the crew.
41	** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E1TheEleventhHour "The Eleventh Hour"]]:
42	*** The fire truck the Doctor hijacks has a [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E12TheSoundOfDrums "Vote Saxon"]] sticker on the front.
43	*** When Amy runs out of her bedroom in her nightie, she passes by the stuff in her room, including her wedding dress, shown in greater detail in the slow pan that closes out the episode.
44	** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E4TheTimeOfAngels "The Time of Angels"]]: There's a bright red [[AC:panic]] button on the TARDIS keyboard, and below it is a green button labelled [[AC:smith]].
45	** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E12ThePandoricaOpens "The Pandorica Opens"]]: While talking to Amy about how forgotten things or people can come back if they're remembered, the Doctor very briefly mimes Rory's GagNose.
46	** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E13TheBigBang "The Big Bang"]]:
47	*** Blink-and-miss museum exhibits include the Penguins of the Nile and Dinosaurs in Ice.
48	*** Looking closely as Amelia shoves her way through the crowd to see the Pandorica, you can see the Doctor edging out of shot, presumably getting ready to steal her drink.
49	** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E7AGoodManGoesToWar "A Good Man Goes to War"]]: The soldiers who are being briefed about the Doctor as the Fat One and Thin One enter a teleporter are standing next to a display showing the sonic screwdriver and the text "1) Is not Sonic; 2) Is not a Screwdriver".
50	** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E5TimeHeist "Time Heist"]]: When Psi is going through the list of criminals, it flashes through several previously introduced characters from the ''Doctor Who'' universe, including [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E3ATownCalledMercy the Gunslinger]], [[{{Series/Torchwood}} John Hart]] and [[Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine Abslom Daak]], with Daak becoming the first ''Doctor Who'' comic strip character to enter televised canon (as a further bonus, rather than trying to find a model who resembled the character, they simply used an image of the character's face from the comic strip).
51	** The spaceship in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E3RobotOfSherwood "Robot of Sherwood"]] [[CelebrityParadox has an image]] of Second Doctor Creator/PatrickTroughton as Robin Hood as part of its database on the character.
52	** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS37E1TheWomanWhoFellToEarth "The Woman Who Fell to Earth"]] twice shows a Website/YouTube video posted by Ryan. The video is simply titled "Hey", has only been seen by a few people, and two of them were heartless enough to give it downvotes. Some fans praised this exceptionally realistic portrayal of the website. Most of the other videos visible are variations on how to create a successful vlog.
53	** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS37E5TheTsurangaConundrum "The Tsuranga Conundrum"]]: When the Doctor and Mabli look up the MonsterOfTheWeek in the ship's database, images of a Cyberman, an Ood, a Weeping Angel, a Slitheen, a Sontaran, a Silent, a classic-series Silurian and a Zygon are briefly seen before the computer pulls up a match.
54	** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS37E9ItTakesYouAway "It Takes You Away"]]: In the alternate universe, the Doctor's FashionableAsymmetry earrings and hair part, as well as the writing on Erik's shirt, are mirror-reversed, since the access point was via a mirror-portal.
55	* ''Series/{{ER}}'': The names of patients on the wall behind the nurses' station were actually that of various crew members and occasionally the real life names of the cast. Then, in the final season, as several doctors prepared to leave, they were taken down to the basement to put their name plates on the wall. On closer look, indeed, the names of ''every'' doctor/nurse who had left the staff/cast by whatever means was present (making this a nice ContinuityNod as well)).
56	* ''Series/FearTheWalkingDead'': Freezing on John Dorie's rental movie list reveals what films he's been watching and his short reviews of each:
57	** ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'' - unsettling
58	** ''Film/OnGoldenPond'' - very good
59	** ''Film/SmokeyAndTheBandit'' - excellent!
60	** ''Film/SomewhereInTime'' - questionable
61	** ''Film/{{Glitter}}'' - not as funny as promised
62	** ''Film/TheGreenMile'' - too long
63	** ''WesternAnimation/WatershipDown'' - wish it was longer
64	** ''Film/FridayThe13th1980'' - too violent
65	** ''Film/RoadToBali'' - good time!
66	** ''Film/MeetJohnDoe'' - TBD
67	* ''Series/FellowTravelers'':
68	** In the fourth episode, eagled-eyed viewers will notice that [[https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Ffellow-travelers-episode-4-discussion-post-v0-m0crijwkfy0c1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D1936%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D11aeef8731218f4bd7c5bf9b25ed76482ae791c2 Hawkins Fuller wears the tie that his lover Tim Laughlin gave to him as a Christmas present]] during his lie detector test and the Christmas party he attends later.
69	** The second time Mary Johnson and Tim meet for lunch in episode 8, her earrings are maple leaves (the national symbol of Canada), which is a subtle nod from the wardrobe department that the series was filmed in UsefulNotes/{{Canada}} (UsefulNotes/{{Toronto}}, more precisely).
70	* ''Series/{{Firefly}}'':
71	** There's a mini statue of Han Solo in carbonite from ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' hidden in each episode, and ''Franchise/StarWars'' ships can be spotted landing in at least two episodes. One is an imperial shuttle and another is from ''ComicBook/DarkEmpire''.
72	** received freeze-frame bonus {{shout out}}s in ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica\|2003}}'' and, strangely enough, ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', as seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQMHQjaxfpE here]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qUe-1nESOg here]] respectively.
73	* ''Series/{{Friends}}'': In "The One After the Super Bowl" (Part II) when Ross' monkey Marcel cannot meet him at his apartment he goes out to eat with Joey and Chandler, the bonus is on the menus of the restaurant that say Marcel's on them.
74	* ''Series/{{Fringe}}'': Americans in the alternative universe have identity cards. Freeze-framing Alt-Broyles's card in Season Four shows that they have dates in the Anglo-European DD-MM-YY format instead of the US MM-DD-YY format.
75	* ''Series/GameOfThrones'':
76	** The book Ned consults to discover the true parentage of [[spoiler:Robert Baratheon's children]] has a page listing several members of House Targaryen mentioned in the novels: there's King Viserys II, King Aegon IV, Queen Naerys, Princess Daena the Defiant, King Daeron II, Queen Myriah Martell, Princess Daenerys (GOT Daenerys' namesake), Prince Baelor, King Aerys I, Prince Rhaegel, Prince Maekar and even the Blackfyres: Daemon, Aegon, Aemon and Daemon II.
77	** The White Book of the Kingsguard. For show-only viewers, this book makes the first reference to a very important event in the backstory, concerning Robert's Rebellion: [[spoiler:the fight at the Tower of Joy, where Ned Stark and Howland Reed killed three members of the Kingsguard and ultimately, his sister Lyanna died.]]
78	** The necklace Ser Dontos gives Sansa is missing one of its fake gems when Littlefinger takes it off Sansa aboard his boat, and which Littlefinger confirms contained the poison used to kill Joffrey. Even better: the gem is already missing during the Purple Wedding. Freeze frame right after Olenna touches the necklace.
79	* ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon'': At the gathering of suitors for Rhaenyra Targaryen, besides Ser Desmond Caron, Ser Rymun Mallister and Ser Criston Cole, you can also spot a Tarly, a Corbray, a Rowan and a Crakehall knight, all with their respective sigils and standard-bearers.
80	* ''Series/{{Glee}}'': In the season 1 episode "Hairography", Quinn Fabray and [[ImaManICantHelpIt Noah "Puck" Puckerman]] get into a fight over the fact that Puck was [[RippedFromTheHeadlines sexting]] Santana Lopez during a babysitting gig with Quinn. The [[http://videogum.com/img/thumbnails/photos/glee_1_12/8.jpg freeze-frame]] of Quinn searching his phone for evidence reveals that Puck might be the worse sexter ever; one sent message features the creative and eloquent line, "You so hot and stuff and stuff."
81	* ''Series/GoodLuckCharlie'': The chalkboard on the fridge has a section for chores, as well as sections for each Duncan, even Charlie. If it's visible, expect it to at least vaguely be in the episode and most of the time a huge part of the episode.
82	* ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' was ''very'' good at this in the first half of S1, with tons of stuff in each episode. For instance, Suresh's map with color strings. There was bits of {{Foreshadowing}} regarding upcoming characters as early as the first episode. [[spoiler:The folders in Old Suresh's file cabinet are labelled with the names of powers featured in later episodes.]] During the second half there was considerably less of this and in later seasons these little clues appear to be largely absent.
83	** In S2, a photo of the mysterious founders of the mysterious Company appears handily labeled with post-it notes, thanks to the intrepid detective work of Detective Matt Parkman, but if you pause and try to read some of the otherwise unknown character names, [[https://heroeswiki.ddns.net/wiki/File:Group_of_12_postitnotes.jpg the post-it notes]] are more amusing than enlightening; evidently because he's [[LIsForDyslexia severely dyslexic]], he wrote "Nakamura" as something that ''might'' be generously interpreted as "[=NAChaMuRA=]", labeled his father's status as "INCARSREATD", etc., and the names of the mysterious unknown characters on the left-hand-side of the photo are pretty much impossible to read.
84	* ''Series/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy1981'': Many of the animated Guide entries contains bits of info and jokes that require pausing to read.
85	* ''Series/HomeImprovement'' had "Watch Tool Time" flash quickly several times in the intro of later seasons, when the cast members were shown on screen. A screenshot of this can be found [[http://www.eeggs.com/items/17809.html here.]]
86	* ''Series/HorribleHistories'':
87	** When George IV is first mentioned in the refrain during the Kings and Queens song, he can for a second be seen pointing to himself in an AttentionWhore manner.
88	** There are also plenty in the "historical character uses the internet" sketches. For example, Cleopatra getting a mail from her sister and Henry VIII's mistress Bessie Blount being on his top 8 on Yebo.
89	** In Draco's appearance on Stupid Deaths, Death asks for his autograph as a big fan of Draco's work. Freeze-framing is only really needed to see the entire set of names, but other autographs include Attila the Hun, Ivan the Terrible, Henry VIII and Emperor Nero.
90	* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'':
91	** "[[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E4TheRuthlessPursuitOfBloodWithAllA ...The Ruthless Pursuit of Blood with All a Child's Demanding]]": The first of Claudia's diaries that Daniel Molloy picks up has a tiny sneak peek for Season 2:
92	--->Paris, November 14, 1945: We've arrived in Paris, what a relief! My whole dead self feels revitalized head to toe. We might be outsiders to both humans and Parisian life, but I do appreciate both now with such fervor! Granted, I've never hated my body [unclear]
93	** "[[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E5AVileHungerForYourHammeringHeart A Vile Hunger for Your Hammering Heart]]":
94	*** The raccoon that was rummaging through the townhouse's MessOfWoe [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/00878061efc416f3c9ddd5b9454e8502/a67d6b00f0a5d60a-0e/s1280x1920/b773ad2bb1d17e3f208c5a621496c9461957e0aa.png later ends up dead.]] Louis de Pointe du Lac, a VegetarianVampire, presumably drained the animal to death.
95	*** Later, Claudia's [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/638ed95f3933083f22229945f1f02286/1463adc445943e4d-da/s1280x1920/d6456483644fe12bab60494d4cd8f6a6c52d24ec.png journal entry]] offers viewers a glimpse into her mindset before she heads back home.
96	---->Dear Diary, I'm going back to the house. I've decided I'm ready for whatever Lestat has to say. And I can leave right away and take Louis with me. Wouldn't that be wonderful? I am excited to see him again. And I realize I was a handful all those years. But will Louis even travel with me? I don't know if he even wants to leave Lestat even though he causes him great pain. I just know he and I would have so much fun together. And anything I learn about vampires I want to share with him. He has been sheltered by Lestat for so long! I want to open his eyes! We can learn about our kind together and maybe find some.
97	** "[[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E6LikeAngelsPutInHellByGod Like Angels Put in Hell by God]]": The title sequence for this episode is slightly different than the others because it includes an [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/ad70d42758c55ee231844dd5f890334b/a356f2391eb7803a-4d/s1280x1920/0fe37a15ebb6edfe657abe4be336152c4719fc57.png upside-down Golden Gate Bridge]] to indicate that there's a scene which takes place in San Francisco.
98	** "[[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E7TheThingLayStill The Thing Lay Still]]":
99	*** Eagle-eyed viewers can spot [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/4224f009d321949a77828815f8ea29d1/74802e3c68ec6db7-83/s1280x1920/cfbcf1c65e6e17929a1ff84000422f672ea36e1f.png Antoinette Brown in the streetcar]] two seats ahead of Lestat de Lioncourt in her SweetPollyOliver ensemble.
100	*** Later, [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/1156ebbc24534b4ef1410310f5e04034/291f589d28afb2a3-40/s1280x1920/8820ecf0c77af562afda4387de796d3c414b4a4d.jpg two pages from]] [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/d3899a9a25f1b7f51c94050df9dd48c1/8e9391fb55e4d20f-3f/s1280x1920/b6c972823961a296d7a5f82af128c2ff1cb8e889.png Claudia's journal]] contain a small preview for Season 2:
101	---->'''Left page''': Dear Diary, I have been planning the trip out in my head. When we get to Europe, we aren't going to look at any of the touristy sights. We are instead going straight to the Black Sea and then on to the Carpathian Mountains. Those are the places I've been reading about in the books I've brought with me. We had to leave so much behind, but I brought those books. Louis doesn't care much about what he calls [unclear] for old [unclear]\
102	'''Right page''': Friday: Louis has been increasingly anxious and morose because of what we did. He says he's never known fear like that in his life, like he felt before we left, the vulnerability, the sheer terror. And he says, there's no relief from it now that we're on our way. Even though he's miles away from Lestat, whose body is bled dry and rotting in a garbage dump. Sometimes, Louis can't break free from his grasp. I can practically see Lestat in front of me, hanging in the doorway, because he's the subject of all Louis' thoughts.
103	* ''Series/KamenRiderGaim'': In Episode 27, Ryoma Sengoku looks through [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/kamenrider/images/e/e5/Protoypec_GD_sp.jpg computer data]] on the prototypes for the TransformationTrinket; pausing the list shows not only some amusing concepts (the pictured belt is based off of a ''faucet''), but {{Shout Out}}s to previous ''Franchise/KamenRider'' shows[[note]]The highlighted items are [[Series/KamenRiderWizard rings]], [[Series/KamenRiderFourze switches]], [[Series/KamenRiderOOO medals]], [[Series/KamenRiderDouble USB memories]], [[Series/KamenRiderDecade cards]], and [[Series/KamenRiderKiva fuestles]][[/note]].
104	** In Episode 33, when the protagonists look over a map of Zawame City, close examination reveals that it's actually a map of [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} Gotham City]]. This was changed for the home release, presumably to avoid a potential lawsuit.
105	* ''Series/KamenRiderBuild'': One shot of EvolvingCredits first used in #29 [[https://i.imgur.com/wslaFLk.jpg shows]] Kazumi Sawatari examining a violoncello in the background. His actor, Kouhei Takeda, played violin as Otoya Kurenai in ''Series/KamenRiderKiva''.
106	* In the second episode of ''Series/KevinCanFuckHimself'', the viewer can get an early clue that the scene of Allison [[spoiler:telling a waitress how she killed her husband]] is AllJustADream: the book she is reading is Literature/{{Ulysses}}, by [[Creator/JamesJoyce Joyce Something]]. Since she's saving the book for when the fantasy comes true, she doesn't know who actually wrote it yet.
107	* ''Series/LawAndOrder'':
108	** In "Rebels", Detective Curtis is reading a BBS posting about a murder in a bar. For a brief moment, Curtis's computer screen is visible. The email is the same paragraph repeated twice, followed by an extended rant by the prop guy, who wonders if he's filled up a screen yet with his nonsensical ramblings. Also, the email gets the name of the bar wrong.
109	** In ''[[Series/LawAndOrderCriminalIntent Criminal Intent]]'', there is one episode where you get to see Eames' e-mail account briefly. The first mail is plot-relevant, the rest is from a [[AllWomenLoveShoes shoe shopping site]].
110	* Intentionally invoked on ''Letterman''. During a viewer mail segment, Dave read a letter from a guy who said he recorded the show and watched it later. Often, there would be a quick shot of the cue-card boy, and the viewer would pause the tape, and read the joke before Dave told it. When Dave finished reading the letter, there was a quick shot of the cue-card boy holding a nasty note for the guy that wrote the letter. For the lulz.
111	* In the ''Series/{{Leverage}}'' episode "The Reunion Job", pausing on the alumni personnel profiles reveals that the bios are just a long string of gibberish styled like PurpleProse.
112	* ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'':
113	** During Elrond's visit to Moria, a helm reminiscent of the legendary Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin can be spotted in the house of Durin IV.
114	** Both Adar and Gil-galad wear matched neck plates.
115	* ''Series/{{Lost}}'', in spades:
116	** Appearances by Jacob, the beechcraft in the corner of Charlie's dream, changing picture frames, briefly seen documents in the hatches.... Most notably, the Blast Door Map which, while only visible for several seconds, contains numerous references to future plot points, such as The Flame, Magnus Hanso as the captain of the Black Rock, the date of the Incident etc.
117	** Once in a while, though, something the creators intended as a joke was noticed and overanalyzed to death by crazy fans, like the Dharma Shark, who was then jokingly named "Ezra James Sharkington" by Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse and popped back up in a sixth-season episode, presumably as a ShoutOut to crazy fans.
118	* ''Series/TheMentalist'': The episode "Seeing Red" briefly flashed a computers screen showing the charitable contributions of a wealthy murder victim. She wrote checks for "Organization for the fight to end Women's Suffrage", "Society for Teaching English to Americans", and "P.A.N.I.C. (People Against Naming Infants Chad)".
119	* ''Series/ModernFamily'': In ''Connection Lost,'' in TheStinger Claire quickly scans over the first sentence of Alex's college admissions essay before giving up and just texting her that she loved it. If you pause long enough to read the actual essay visible on the screen, one sentence has "I know you're not reading this, mom" inserted in it.
120	* In ''Series/{{Newswipe}}'', there's a bit where a list of the G20 bodies scroll across the screen, too fast to read. Slowing it down reveals that it says "..SPAIN THE NETHERLANDS THE NEW PARTNERSHIP FOR AFRICA'S DEVELOPMENT BOTTOM LAND NO NOT REALLY WE MADE THAT ONE UP AND YOU BOTHERED TO PAUSE THIS TO READ THE PHRASE "BOTTOM LAND" WHAT A DISMAL LITTLE PRICK YOU ARE THE ASSOCIATION OF SOUTH EAST ASIAN NATIONS THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION..."
121	* ''Series/OnlyMurdersInTheBuilding'': In Season 2, Episode 6, a freeze-frame of Poppy's tablet shows Cinda's extremely packed schedule, including "5 am primal scream", "7:30 am ask Poppy to stop doing that thing", "8 am goat yoga", "9 am clitoral stimulation session with Jake", "3 pm neck thing", and at least two sessions of "underwater pilates".
122	* An episode of ''Series/TheOuterLimits1995'' features an old Holocaust survivor who occasionally remembers the horrible day that his young daughter was dragged off by camp guards, never to be seen again. Looking closely during those flashbacks, one can see [[spoiler:that the "guards" are actually the survivor's adult son and a time traveler from the further into the future. In the episode's climax, the pair have traveled back in time as part of a plan to bring one of the camp guards to justice; the survivor's son made a spur of the moment decision to [[TimeTravelEscape rescue his half-sister by bringing her back to the future]].]]
123	* ''Series/PersonOfInterest'' uses [[BigBrotherIsWatching Machine POV]] a lot, which can lead to this, particularly by use of its ColorCodedForYourConvenience method of identifying individuals. Of note are the split second in Control's debut episode where she has a red "threat" box, and the season one finale where the VictimOfTheWeek has the yellow box indicating that she knows about the machine [[spoiler:because she's really [[BigBad Root]]]].
124	* Due to a stock footage blunder in the Power Morphicon trailer for ''Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge'', Series/KamenRiderWizard appeared for one brief second. This lead some people to speculate that Saban had renewed the "Power Rider" license and was intending to adapt Wizard... but nothing came of it.
125	* ''Series/{{Revolution}}'':
126	** At the end of episode 3 ("[[Recap/RevolutionS1E3NoQuarter No Quarter]]"), [[spoiler:Maggie's iPhone reactivates thanks to the power-activating pendant, and the lock screen shows the date as Monday, September 17 - the date of the show's premiere in 2012.]]
127	** In episode 5 ("[[Recap/RevolutionS1E5SoulTrain Soul Train]]"), Hutch is seen with a ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' manuscript.
128	* One episode of ''Series/SamAndCat'' had Cat presenting a list of babysitting rules, one of which is "You should not freeze-frame on this. Click play and continue watching the show".
129	* ''Series/{{Selfie}}'': Eliza's Twitter followers include @trenzlore [sic] and @souffleb0y, which appeared together. Doubles as a ShoutOut.
130	* In the seventh episode of ''Series/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents'', there is actually a spoiler that can be viewed by freeze-framing. As Violet searches for answers about her parents in the Lucky Smells Lumbermill library, she finds one book that has not had its contents redacted. [[spoiler:If you pause when she opens the book, you can read that the Baudelaire parents were responsible for putting out the lumbermill fire, not setting it, and that the arsonist was likely a disgruntled mill worker.]] Comically enough, the final sentence of the page [[spoiler:sets up for a reveal of Sir's real name, but continues to the other side right before the name is revealed!]]
131	* ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'':
132	** For a few seconds, you can see Sherlock [[http://i.imgur.com/kTAELOM.png standing on the roof of St. Bart's hospital,]] a small tease for the finale of Season 2.
133	** There are several newspapers shown throughout the series, each with relevant articles in them. The most hilarious are the [[http://s1.postimg.org/6flmxvbrj/image.jpg article]] revealing why Sherlock was kicked out of the courtroom in Reichenbach Fall and the [[http://s28.postimg.org/5izg6x11p/image.jpg various newspapers]] Janine brings to the hospital in His Last Vow.
134	* ''Series/{{Smallville}}'':
135	** ''Kinetic'': "For Lionel Luthors eyes only". [[GrammarNazi Note the lack of an apostrophe.]]
136	** ''Lexmas'': A lot of fans apparently wondered what [[spoiler:dream]] Lex did to get a humanitarian award, but a simple freeze frame would reveal it is work for the homeless as stated on the certificate.
137	** ''Abyss'': As Brainiac starts to delete Chloe's memories of Clark, she begins to have a flashback to the [[NowOrNeverKiss Dark Thursday kiss]] before the image of Clark is pulled away from her, interspersed with flashes of a white Superman symbol.
138	** ''Salvation'': Clark wearing the traditional Superman suit could be seen briefly as a reflection in the Daily Planet globe. There are ''even'' briefer frame of Superman flying pass the camera and a flash of the Superman symbol as the vision ends.
139	* ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'': In the opening sequence, as the camera passes through a comet tail composed of shiny CG dust, there are images of the [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Kirk-era crew]] formed by the dust. Spock is the easiest one to see (they are very hard to make out, but [[http://www.agonybooth.com/recaps/Star_Trek/Deep_Space_Nine/Let_He_Who_Is_Without_Sin___.aspx?Page=2 but he's really there]]).
140	** There's quite a bit of this sort of thing running all through ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' and ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' ranging from the hamster wheel warp core icon to the instructions on the side of a power unit (#1: You can't have too much water in a nuclear reactor).
141	** Ships' [[http://en.memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Dedication_plaque dedication plaques]] were especially fond of it. Each one would have a list of senior officers (usually members of the production staff) and a ship's motto that was usually a ShoutOut of some kind or another.
142	** ''Deep Space 9'' had lots of joke business names on [[http://en.memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Promenade#Promenade_directory the Promenade directory]], such as "[[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 Tom Servo's Used Robots]]".
143	* ''Series/TouchedByAnAngel'': At the conclusion of an episode in which the angels were trying to aid a detective who specialized in missing children's cases, one of the cast members revealed that the numerous "Missing" posters seen in the background throughout the episode were in fact those of ''real'' missing children. Pausing the footage allowed the viewer to get a much closer looks at the details present.
144	* ''Series/ATouchOfCloth'', during a scene in which Cloth is running through a hospital corridor. For about a second or two, there's a sign visible on the wall behind him listing the various hospital wards: pausing reveals that they have joke names such as [[Film/CarryOn "Hattie Jacques Ward"]], [[Series/TheXFactor "Shayne]] [[{{Pun}} Ward"]], and [[TakeThatAudience "Pause Button OCD Ward"]]. There were so many of these gags, in fact, that a sign in the second story admonished the audience to "Keep Watching And Stop Pausing."
145	* ''Series/TrailerParkBoys'': In one episode, a character reads a written note aloud as the camera focuses on it. After he is done, the camera pans down slightly for a split second to reveal [[UnreadablyFastText extra text]], which says "If you're freeze-framing this on DVD, you're fucked!"
146	* ''Series/TheUntamed'': The series keeps the scene where Wei Wuxian pranks Lan Wangji by switching his book with porn. But when paused at the right moment, the viewer can see that he actually showed Lan Wangji ''longyang'' (homosexual porn).
147	* ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'': Stefan is calling Isabel and on his phone you see a number, a real number, 919-399-2507. If you call it you get audio of Katherine, Stefan, and Damon talking about Klaus and who to trust.
148	%% * ''Series/{{Victorious}}'' and its dry-erase boards. Administrivia/ZeroContextExample
149	* ''Series/TheWheelOfTime'': Paidan Fain can be seen laughing while watching Mat and Rand as the crowd gathers to see the False Dragon arrive in Tar Valon -- only a few seconds on the upper left part of the picture before he leaves.[[note]]Episode 5, 20 minutes in, 17-21 seconds after the scene changes from Loial to the city streets.[[/note]] You can also hear his whistling and see what may be his silhouette when the party is in Shadar Logoth.[[note]]Episode 2, 48 minutes in, right after the scene changes from Mat and Perrin to the street.[[/note]] Of course, he appears in the Ways -- watching from the shadows after the Trolloc attack.[[note]]Episode 7, 14 minutes in, 4-6 seconds after Lan shouts "Go!" and Moiraine adds "Quickly!"[[/note]]
