* In both the original and remake of ''Film/FunnyGames'', the villains use a remote control at one point to rewind the scene like a video tape when things didn't turn out the way they planned.
* ''Film/TopSecret'' has a scene in which the characters speak Swedish, except it's actually English recorded backwards. The entire scene was filmed in reverse, which becomes more obvious as it goes along.
* When doing the summation in ''Film/AceVenturaWhenNatureCalls'', Ace rattles off his conclusion towards the accused. He then says "Let me run that back for you", reverses his actions, and speaks like he's rewinding.
[[AC: LiveActionTV]]
* ''Series/AmericasFunniestHomeVideos'' likes to do backward video montages sometimes.
* The Scrawkcarb story arc in ''Series/RedDwarf'', both in the TV series and seriously expanded upon in the books, has the Dwarf crew landing in Backwards Earth and exploring all the possibilities inherent in time running backwards. These include the Cat's horror when he realizes what logically happens when eating and digestion run in reverse - indeed, what must happen a day or so before regurgitating a very good meal onto the plate. In the novels, the process of going backwards and forwards in time, both through accelerated ageing and then living on a time-reversed Earth, where people are resurrected from Death and then grow younger, means Dave Lister is, eventually, 132 years old, cumulatively speaking, whilst remaining 25, give or take three million years.
* ''Series/{{Blackadder}}'': The third season has Blackadder think he's been found out and drop a tray. When it turns out he hasn't been discovered, the tray zips back up.
[[AC:{{Literature}}]]
* In ''Film/CheaperByTheDozen'', after one of the family's mealtimes is shown in [[FastForwardGag fast-forward]], Dad comments that it could have been worse; at least it didn't rewind it so it looked as though they vomited their food onto their plates.
[[AC: {{Music}}]]
* Near the end of the video for "Amish Paradise", Music/WeirdAlYankovic sings through one scene which obviously plays backwards. Most notably, a buggy rolls past in the background backwards.
* The video for "Drop" by Music/ThePharcyde runs entirely in reverse. Thus, we see the band members spring to their feet from a lying position, rolling up stairs, repelling a bucket full of water upwards, and near the end, instantly piecing together a mural painted on glass with a hammer before wiping the paint off with paintbrushes.
[[AC: {{Theatre}}]]
* In ''The Complete Works Of William Shakespeare Reduced'', during the backwards version of Hamlet there are several gags along these lines. In one scene, Adam (as Ophelia) "un-drowns" by spraying water out of his mouth while holding a glass. See it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2Jzkop04P4&t=3m44s here.]]
[[AC: WebOriginal]]
* A frequent gag on YouTubePoop videos.
[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolBus'': "The Busasaurus", when the bus and class go back in time, everything important in geographical history happens backwards.
* ''WesternAnimation/JimmyNeutronBoyGenius'': This (as well as a bit of FastForwardGag) happens over and over again in "Sorry, Wrong Era", with Jimmy's RewindReplayRepeat invention. Let's just say that [[TheDitz Hugh]] abuses this power for his own amusement...
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': The entire point of "Yug Yimlaf". "WE ATE SO MUCH VOMIT!!", sex in reverse, the chicken fight goes backwards, Stewie having his diaper ''un''changed...
-->'''Stewie''': Oh God, that all just went back into me!
* The ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' episode "sdrawkcaB" has Dexter inventing a belt that makes its wearer go forward and backwards by pulling a lever that controls the time. Dee Dee ends up using it on Dexter, but he gets back at her at the end by having her wear the belt while she fell up and down from a high place.
-->'''Dexter's Dad''': Dexter, what have I told you about running up and down the stairs?! SLOW DOWN, YOU'RE GONNA HURT SOME-''(Dexter trips him and he falls down the stairs.)''
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'', Ed puts his finger on Edd's head to make him repeat a sentence, complete with the sound of rewinding a video cassette.
* Often done on the ''WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}}'' "How-to" shorts, when the narrator asks for the scene to play again. A notable example is "How to Ride a Horse", where the run before a failed jump is run backwards (complete with backwards music) and the horse ends up running up a tree.
* ''Disney/SaludosAmigos'' has two examples: In "Lake Titicaca" when the boy with the llama plays his flute in reverse and the llama's animation runs in reverse; and in "Gaucho Goofy" when Goofy catching an ostrich is run back so it could be shown in slow-motion.
* PlayedWith in the Disney short film ''Disney/GetAHorse''. When Mickey [[BreakingTheFourthWall literally breaks the fourth wall]], he discovers he can use this trope to help him defeat Peg Leg Pete by rotating the screen. He rewinds and fast forwards the on-screen events in order to wear Pete down.
* The CreditsGag for the ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' episode, "ToonPhysics" lists the top 5 "Facts" for that episode. Fact number five states that the short, "A Cub For Grub" becomes funny when it is watched backwards.
