* [=~Mario And Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story~=] has one occurrence of this.

* Every StudioShaft {{anime}} ever. Every episode, all the time. No exceptions.

* In the TheNostalgiaCritic's tribute to Siskel & Ebert, the Critic assures us that not all critics dislike certain religions.
-->'''Nostalgia Critic:''' I for example only dislike these.\\
''(list of religions scrolls across the screen too quick to read)''\\
'''Nostalgia Critic:''' Especially the middle one.
** Scientology, [[WildMassGuessing right]]?

* Episode 10 of ''SuperDimensionFortressMacross'' has some text briefly on the screen which is a screenshot of a text-based computer game from 1972 based on ''StarTrek''.

--> So this big galoot here, right? He’s all like, I have no seeeat! No seeat! And he won’t shut up! But he won’t stop, and we’re all, we just can’t do it, buddy, OK? So we have no idea what to do. And this lug’s getting surlier. He’s not going away. And he has no seat! Nothing! Not a chance! So we do some solid thinking and totally fail. No big seats! I mean, we got small seats! We can do a small seat, sure, but this guy’s huge, so he’s not gonna fit in a small one! Please! It’s like, hey, pal, how about you try our job just once, y’know? It’d break him in two seconds! I work hard, Boss! Really hard! And this dude sits through life?! So spoiled! It makes me ill! All the suffering in the world, and this guy’s seating problem is urgent? Nooooooo! (beat) Ooooo!

* The second level of {{Oni}} has a super computer as a boss, who has some pretty hilarious dialogue before having to shut the thing off three different times. The problem is, unlike every other conversation in the game, the super computer's dialogue comes in huge chunks of text which disappear in mere seconds. [[WallBanger One wonders why Bungie decided to let the super computer's lines fly by in a rapid fire fashion when they're some of the cleverest lines uttered in the game]].

A quirk of movies and TV shows where text is shown on screen, but doesn't stay on screen long enough for the audience to read it. It's not a subliminal message, and it's sometimes even relevant to the plot, but you'll have to buy the DVD (or have [=TiVo=]) and pause it to see what it says. Credits are often like this. Usually a form of FreezeFrameBonus.

Note that it's not just that you couldn't read it because you read slow. It's that the director intentionally made it so you can't possibly read it in the time it's shown onscreen.

* The feature-length version of ''TheWizardOfSpeedAndTime'' is full of these from beginning to end, but no more so than at the end of the "speed" sequence of the [[ShowWithinAShow film-within-a-film]] of the same name, which contains what amounts to Mike Jittlov's personal manifesto about the power of the creative spirit, elucidated one frame and sentence at a time.

* John Stewart of TheDailyShow often highlights this for some of his informational graphics, suggesting people will go use their {{TiVo}} to go back and read all of it later.

** If you're thinking of the text I'm thinking of, then it's only a description of Second Impact for the first sentence or so, after which it pulls a Prince of Bel-Air and the rest is a history of Studio Gainax with Gainax strategically replaced with GEHIRN and the words 'Second Impact' liberally sprinkled throughout. It's like a cruel joke on anyone who goes to the effort of hunting down that frame.

* In the [[ThatGuyWithTheGlasses Nostalgia Critic's]] tribute to Siskel & Ebert, the Critic assures us that not all critics dislike certain religions.

* In ''SuperMarioRPG'', the gardener in ''Rose Town'' spews several almost unreadably fast messages after you bring him the seed and the fertilizer, accompanied by the music going double-speed (and Mario becoming dizzy and falling down afterward). The same happens when finally his dreams come true and see their grown beanstalk, the one that give you access to the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Lazy Shell weapon & armor]]. In total, he does this [[RuleOfThree three]] [[RunningGag times]].

* In ''SuperMarioRPG'', one character spews several almost unreadably fast messages after you bring him a key item, accompanied by the music going double-speed (and Mario becoming dizzy and falling down afterward). He does it a total of [[RuleOfThree three]] [[RunningGag times]].

* The XML in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sHYDfITjHY this]] YouTube video is a borderline example.
