History Main / VignetteEpisode

* The 1967 PinkPanther cartoon ''Pink Outs'' is a series of 12 quick unrelated vignettes.

* TheTeletubbies had vignette ''segments'' rather than a vignette episode.

** And again in "Tales of the Dark Knight," with the three kids telling stories about how they perceive Batman; as they tell their stories, the animation shifts to better suit the story they're telling.

* The MythAdventures book ''M.Y.T.H. Inc. Link'' would qualify for that.

An episode in a normal series that is composed of two or more vignettes. Most times they are unrelated, or only held together by a FramingDevice or a common theme. Happens when a writer wants to try SomethingCompletelyDifferent.

* The "''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' episodes "Five Short Graybles" and "Five More Short Graybles" are told through a series of scenarios, which all merge at some point, and are related by a common theme, [[spoiler:The Five Senses]]. and [[spoiler:The Five Tastes]]., respectively.

* The "Halloween Special Vignette" idea was also done by ''{{Recess}}''.

** Season 6's "The Futurama Holiday Spectacular" and "Reincarnation" also count.

* ''HowIMetYourMother'' does this a lot.

* ''{{Futurama}}'' has its two Anthology of Interest episodes, which feature Fry, Bender and Leela suggesting plots to a machine that can create a simulation of anything asked of it.

* ''FamilyGuy'' had this in its "Viewer Mail" and "Stephen King" episodes.

* The ''StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' EU had a book called "The Lives of Dax", focusing on the Dax symbiotes former hosts.

* There's a good lit example: ''Borders of Infinity'', from the VorkosiganSaga, was a collection of three short stories ("Mountains of Mourning", "Labyrinth" and "Borders of Infinity") with a framing device about the main character being in extended surgery, and solving a case thereof. The individual stories have been reprinted in other, later omnibuses of the series; the original whole book has not, and is blastedly hard to find...

* NeilGaiman's ''The Sandman: Book of Dreams'' comprises several short stories by other authors inspired by ''TheSandman'', and ''Endless Nights'', seven short stories about each of [[AnthropomorphicPersonification The Endless]], written by Gaiman.

* The ''[[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries Batman: The Animated Series]]'' episode "Holiday Knights", which had three vignettes about the Bat-family dealing with holiday crime.

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'': Every episode has a vignette in the form of an unrelated teaser sequence before the main plot, but there are also at least two special vignette episodes: "Bat-Mite Presents: Batman's Strangest Cases!" and "Four Star Spectacular!"

* In the 80-Page Giant Special comic of ''YoungJustice'', the team fights an evil genie who sends them into different genres (FilmNoir, {{Western}}, {{Anime}}, SilentFilm {{Horror}}, etc.). It's half TrappedInTVLand, half Vignette episode, since every genre gets its own distinct story.

* ''TheSimpsons'' has some episodes that might qualify— most obviously the "Treehouse of Horrors" Halloween episodes, but also "22 Short Films about Springfield", the "Run Lola Run" episode and "The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase".

* The ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'' episode "Tales of Ba Sing Se", a DayInTheLife BreatherEpisode showing the main characters wandering around the city.

* MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic has "The Cutie Mark Chronicles," which has a story for how each of the mane cast got their cutie marks.
