* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'': PlayedWith because it's not done simultaneously but still shows how [[MirrorCharacter similar]] are Nanoha and her daughter over the years. ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' starts with a 9-year-old Nanoha waking up from a strange dream, turning off the alarm of her phone--it's on the floor--, stretching, and then tying her hair up in pigtails in front of her bathroom mirror. In ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaVivid'', Vivio follows a near identical routine. The only difference is that her alarm is a clock on the bedside.

* ''Webcomic/FeralnetteAU'': Near the beginning of the Birds of a Feather arc, when Felix and Marinette are starting to become friends, their morning routines are contrasted to each other in a RuleOfThree with a body part--hands (she puts her brace on, he dons his turtleneck shirt), ears (she slides her headphones in, he adjusts his earrings), and legs (she runs to school, he's driven to it in a limo). It's a way to highlight that Felix is collected and graceful while Marinette is weary and leads a chaotic life.



* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion'': There's a scene nearly identical to the one shown in the [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica anime]] --Madoka waking up her mother, with the two of them grooming themselves together in the bathroom. While it does reinforce Madoka and her mom's closeness, it, however, serves different purposes. It's meant to mirror the anime's beginning, adding to the feeling of deja-vu and confusion. Furthermore, its subtle discrepancies from the original scene hint that the universe in which the film takes place is not quite the same as the anime. It's not a retelling or something similar, it's a continuation.

* ''WesternAnimation/ShaunTheSheep'': The opening titles portray the Farmer, Bitzer, and Shaun's routines synchronised, particularly with Bitzer putting on deodorant and Shaun using a hairdryer while the Farmer shaves. It's played for humour--Bitzer is a dog and [[CaptainObvious Shaun is a sheep]].

We then go to Shaun, Blitzer and the Farmer, Bitzer, Farmer all getting up and Shaun's routines synchronised, particularly getting ready for the day; with Bitzer the Farmer shaving, Blitzer putting on deodorant deodorant, and Shaun using blow drying his wool. Blitzer then stands to attention as the Farmer leaves the farmhouse and gets [[AmusingInjuries hit with the door]] in the process, while Shaun leads the other sheep in aerobics. Finally, Blitzer grabs a hairdryer cup of tea while the Farmer shaves. It's played for humour--Bitzer is a dog unlocks the barn and [[CaptainObvious Shaun is a sheep]].the flock immediately [[{{Masquerade}} starts acting like normal sheep]]. Two variations on the scene also appear in TheMovie.

* ''Series/{{Community}}'': The second season opener quickly flashes through all the rooms of the various study group members as they get up. Their decor and morning routine tells us a lot about them (e.g. Jeff is exercising in an almost bare room, Shirley is cuddling with her two children, Pierce has a trippy looking water-mattress, Annie's is perfectly pretty and organised, but has bars on the window, etc.)

* ''Series/HomeImprovement'': Tim and Al discuss their respective morning routines in one episode. Al's is to get up, say "Oh boy, another wonderful day of working side by side with Tim." And the next part is to consider calling in sick. Tim's is to get up, scratch, and get in the bathroom.

Instead of splitting the screen, the camera merely moves from one character to the next as all of their routines are fairly identical --getting up, putting on any extra clothes (such as Juliana's shirt), and ordering the sheets that cover their mattresses. A few of them, like Cobra, fix their hairdo. And then they all wash their faces and arms. It's {{inverted}} on other two occasions, when the sequence is of them preparing to go to bed.
