** The Extreme Edition DVD of Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay includes a text commentary track with trivia and other notes at the bottom of the screen to annotate special moments, such as scenes not featured in the theatrical release as well as short behind-the-scenes footage that can be accessed by pressing a button on your DVD player remote.

You, my friend, have been introduced to the wonderful world of [[TitleDrop Pop Up Trivia]]. Wherein the little tricks that the production people put into making your show are showed off, or interesting but irrelevant but interesting pieces of information are given, such as how many calories a person would burn in 500 miles and how long it would take, but not quite as vocal as a DVDCommentary.

* [[Series/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms1994 the 1994 adaptation of]] ''Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms'' had home video releases come with baked-in Chinese subtitles that appeared to highlight famous quotes from the source novel.

* [[Series/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms1994 ''Romance of the Three Kingdoms''' 1994 adaptation]] had later home video releases come with baked-in Chinese subtitles that appeared to highlight famous quotes from the source novel.

* The first-season DVD of ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' has a special "Muppet Morsels" subtitle track.

This trope originated with the Creator/VH1 show ''Series/PopUpVideo'', which aired music videos (usually older videos from the 80's and early 90's) and little factoids about the video, the artist, or random related tidbits would pop up on the screen. You can tell when the use of trope is a direct parody of the show when a popping noise is used with a cartoony icon next to the trivia fact, since that was the show's signature style. Amazon's Creator/PrimeVideo is currently the only streaming service to uses this in the form of a feature called "X-Ray", which is this trope applied to most media in their streaming library.

* ''Series/JessicaJones2015: When the second season came out, which focused heavily on Jessica's BFF [[FormerChildStar Trish]], clips of Trish's music video "I Want Your Cray-Cray" were featured in the episode of that name. Marvel later released the full video on Youtube with parody pop-up facts, like how Trish and her mother both dated the same backup dancer.

* The season 3 DVD set of ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'' had these for three episodes.

* Every classic ''Series/DoctorWho'' DVD features production information subtitles.
** The first rebroadcast of Season 9/35 on BBC America, "Doctor's Notes", featured a mix of trivia, fan comments, and even fanart.

* Website/YouTube allows you to add annotations to your uploaded videos, which can invoke this.

This trope apparently makes for popular BonusMaterial for [=DVDs=]:
* Edgar Wright seems to be a fan. It's an option on ''Film/HotFuzz, Film/ShaunOfTheDead'' and ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld''.
* ''Film/HighSchoolMusical'' did this.
* This was an option on ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail'' DVD.
* The ''Franchise/StarTrek'' 2-disc DVD sets have a subtitle option where Michael and Denise Okuda can give text commentary on this kind of stuff.
* ''Film/SourceCode'' has one of these, strangely enough.
* The Extreme Edition DVD of Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay includes a text commentary track with trivia and other notes at the bottom of the screen to annotate special moments, such as scenes not featured in the theatrical release as well as short behind-the-scenes footage that can be accessed by pressing a button on your DVD player remote.
* Legend Films' edition of ''Film/Plan9FromOuterSpace'' includes a trivia text feature.
* The ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' trilogy came to DVD with "Animated Anecdotes" for each movie. The later Blu-Ray set contains updated anectodes, as well as an option to point out "setups and payoffs".
* Each DVD in the ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'' has a "Spidey-Sense" trivia track.

* Some TV airings of ''Film/{{Braveheart}}'' have this, giving historical notes and production notes. Sometimes they swerved into CaptainObvious territory, such as explaining that a character was grieving for their dead father ''while it was happening on screen.''
* For a while in the mid 2000s, Creator/WarnerBros and Creator/NewLineCinema movies offered via video-on-demand through cable systems came with "[[http://www.moviesthatpop.com/ Movies that Pop]]"- the trivia track would be baked into the movie (given how VOD works, it's understandable that you couldn't turn it off).
* ''Film/{{TheWolverine}}'' on Blu-Ray syncs to an application on a phone or tablet, and displays the trivia on that.
* ''Film/TheFly1986'' has a trivia track exclusive to Blu-Ray releases. Most of the trivia is basic and seems to be intended for casual viewers who aren't interested in the in-depth DVDCommentary by writer-director Creator/DavidCronenberg or the feature-length making-of documentary ''Fear of the Flesh'', but there are some interesting tidbits that don't appear in those (i.e., executive producer Creator/MelBrooks originally wanted Creator/PierceBrosnan for the male lead).
Parodied in ''Film/ShriekIfYouKnowWhatIDidLastFridayTheThirteenth'', when a ChaseScene between the killer and his intended victims is staged like a clip from ''Series/PopUpVideo'', complete with a catchy cover of "Pretty In Pink" for a soundtrack. One of the pop-ups insult the actor playing the killer, so he ''stabs the pop-up'', causing another to appear that reads "Ouch".
