Hmm, it seems like Couch Gag except not. I've seen this a few times.

The Doug example doesn't really fit — it's actually a Cold Opening for one episode, not a one-off substitute for the Title Sequence.

Is there a trope for when the intro to a show is slightly different/interrupted or broken during, with or without relevance to the episode plot?
Such as that one time in the Family Guy intro when peter falls down the stairs, or that one episode of Doug when the pencil is a paintbrush instead, and kinda screws him over?
Or like the cereal episode of Drawn Together, in the intro, it's like BREAKING NEWS! Then goes back to the Intro still in progress?
