History Main / AdBreakDoubleTake

** When Creator/TheHub aired ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls2013'', the scene of Twilight screaming was repeated when the show came back from its' first commercial break.

-->'''Applejack:''' [[BigWhat What?]]
-->'''Rarity:''' You already said that, darling.

-->'''Clarence''': Oh no, a bear!\\
(''fade out'')\\
(''fade in'')\\
'''Clarence''': Oh no, a bear!

** Subverted in the season 6 episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E2LisasRival Lisa's Rival]]". Lisa tires herself up while having a saxophone duel against Allyson, triggering a fade-to-black when fainting. When she wakes up, she's told Allyson won the part, prompting her to scream as another fade out occurs. Except the ad break doesn't come, but rather a phony double take follows showing the exact same scene. When she wakes up, she's told Allyson won the part, except "[[ThatWasNotADream this time it's NOT a dream!]]", prompting her to scream as a ''third'' fade out occurs and the actual break finally begins.
*** The scene that comes after the actual break is not a double take at all.

* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfMonkeyIsland'', at the end of episode 1 and beginning of episode 2, [[spoiler:Morgan Le Flay]] apparently says "Guybrush Threepwood! I've been waiting a long time for this!" twice, as his response is different in each episode.
* Being a love letter to Anime, ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' uses this after returning from a loading screen (which look like an EyeCatch themselves).

[[folder: Web Original ]]

* Parodied in ''WebVideo/FriendshipIsWitchcraft'', when lightning strikes a tree next to Twilight's house (and Spike, who's on the roof holding the lightning rod in place).

* This shows up in several episodes of the first season of ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth''

{{Medium Aware|ness}} characters might be able to sense the slight stitch in time and take advantage of it (much to the confusion of the unAware villains), but it's hardly necessary: the heroes will always recover from the threat in plenty of time. GenreSavvy types sometimes [[LampshadeHanging hang a lampshade]] on the repeated line with a yell of "I know we're in trouble, stop saying that!".

* Sometimes used on ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsWelcometoCareALot'', such as in "Sleuth of Bears" when the group encounters the supposed ghost of Benefair.

* This happened twice in the ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead'' episode, "Washing The Dog". First when the titular duo arrive at the laundromat and the other when they were chanting "Washing the dog, washing the dog". Averted when the episode was released on [[BetterOnDVD home video]], where the double takes were edited out.
