* This trope was common in Victorian literature and Creator/CharlesDickens may be the patron saint. Dickens's novels are very SliceOfLife and, even when they do have a central driving story, are filled with random asides. ''Literature/GreatExpectations'' has a couple of driving plot elements--who is Pip's mysterious benefactor, and what will come of his romantic longing for Estella? But the story is filled with asides and character work. The plot stops dead for a whole chapter in which Pip goes to see his old friend Mr. Wopsle giving a terrible performances as Theatre/{{Hamlet}}.

Added DiffLines:
* ''Film/AlienAbductionIncidentInLakeCounty'' uses this heavily, in this case for the purposes of increasing the realism and immersion of the FoundFootageFilms aspect. The footage shows no discrimination between "important" and "unimportant" events, meaning things like the mundane Thanksgiving dinner at the start, aimless conversations and arguments, and general stretches of [[LeaveTheCameraRunning nothing eventful happening]] take up almost as much screentime as the actual alien attacks. The TalkingHeads examining the footage InUniverse even [[DiscussedTrope lampshade and discuss this]], citing the film's lack of any real plot or structure beyond "getting the hell out" as proof of its authenticity.
