A flashback shows a character as a child/baby looking exactly the same as they do as an adult (usually using the same actor), with the obvious dissonance being Played for Laughs. Examples include:
- Black Dynamite: Bullhorn and Black Dynamite have facial hair and adult voices even as children in flashbacks
- High Anxiety: In Thorndyke's childhood trauma flashback, Mel Brooks still plays him as a baby.
- Walk Hard: Parodies the Dawson Casting habits of biographies by having a 40-something John C Reilly play Dewey Cox in the early scenes while the rest of the cast are high schoolers.
