* ''WesternAnimation/RazzberryJazzberryJam'' uses a variety of unique scene transitions to transition too and from its live-action segments- there are two “standard” wipes (stage curtains closing and then opening, and a roll of tickets falling across the screen and then being torn away to reveal a new scene) used in most episodes, but each episode may or may not receive its own specific, story-relevant wipes- examples include a poster of Elmore falling across the screen in “Solo On The Slide”, Xavier’s keys falling in “Melody Makers”, giant castanets chomping away at the scene in “Music Is Universal”, and the lawnmower that Buddy used in the ColdOpen of “Disappearing Act” rolling across the screen.

* ''Series/Batman1966''. The bat symbol (with a colorful spinning background sometimes) would flash on screen with a snippet of the theme music. Whenever idiosyncratic wipes are played for laughs, this is the one most often parodied.

** The short "Pikachu's Vacation" has pretty lengthy and [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs trippy]] transitions, showing various Pokémon performing some actions. The first time, it's easy to think that it's part of the actual short, and not a transition.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Grojband}}'' frequently used wipes, which were referred to as "Wicked Cool Transitions" by the show. They are always accompanied by a voice singing "X-Y TRANSITION!!!" when they occurred. Many of them were themed around something in the episode (for example, the final episode had a "GROJBAND'S LAST TRANSITION!!!"), but there were generic ones like "WICKED COOL TRANSITION!!!". Heck, the official website even let fans create and submit their own "Wicked Cool Transitions" to be used on the show, accompanying it with a series of shorts in which Grojband is unable to get to the music store due to not having a "Wicked Cool Transition" to transport them instantaneously. The show's wiki even has [[https://grojband.fandom.com/wiki/Wicked_Cool_Transition an article on them]].
* ''WesternAnimation/WhatsWithAndy'' used wipes featuring a miniature doodle of Andy (similar to the ones that appear in the character's {{Imagination Spot}}s) engaging in shenanigans, usually wiping away to next scene once he passes through or him physically removing the scene in some way and bringing in another.

** In the same episode, Vala's trying to pitch show/movie ideas from various Earth shows/movies. At one point, she pitches a ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'' spoof with Michelson as the Scarecrow, Daniel as the Lion, and Teal'c as the Tin Woodsman. There's a shot of them in make-up and costumes for those rolls, then the screen fades to the room they were in with them in the same position they were in before the wipe (now normal-looking).

* ''Series/TheManFromUNCLE'' used kaleidoscopic scene wipes (done by panning the camera rapidly along boards splashed with paint); these rapid wipes were later done on other shows such as the original ''Series/HawaiiFiveO''. The show also blurred the image before the fadeout at the end of every act.

* ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' freezes the screen, replacing each of the different levels of shade with a pattern. When the next bit has loaded, a load of barely theme-appropriate junk is thrown on to the screen and peeled off again. Thankfully this is only done sparingly, especially in the final game (which mostly uses pixels for fade ins/outs).

*** "The Ascent of Man" has a few of these. One transitions from a waterfall to an Antarctic landscape (featuring [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins a penguin]]) with the latter shot's camera peeking out from behind a rock. Another transitions from the exterior of a Mesoamerican temple to the interior of an Egyptian temple. This is accomplished when a painted pillar wipes the screen to the left and brings another scene with it.

* The ''WesternAnimation/MiloMurphysLaw'' episode "The Phineas and Ferb Effect" (which is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin indeed]] a crossover with ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'') has a ''Series/Batman1966''-inspired transition wipe of Milo and Perry, when they go to Milo's house to retrieve a clock they got from the time stream.
* This is pretty much the running gag in ''WesternAnimation/HamsterAndGretel'', in which nearly every episode has at least one of these ''Series/Batman1966''-inspired transition wipes, similar to the one in ''Milo Murphy's Law'' (even having a similar sting music). Most often, they feature Hamster and Gretel facing forwards, but they may show different expressions, and the wipes might feature different characters or objects, all depending on the situation of the previous scene.

* ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'''s use of bursts of static (as if changing the channel) have become a trope in and of itself, having inspired such fan works as ''WebVideo/AMVHell'' and ''Machinima/TheGModIdiotBox''. [[Creator/SethMacFarlane "And checkerboard wipe to ..."]] WordOfGod says it's a reference to ''Series/HappyDays''.
