* ''{{Survivors}}'' was notable for averting this trope by filming a large percentage of its run entirely on location, a first for the BBC and unusual even today. Much of the camera work ended up being carried out by the Outside Broadcast team, who normally covered sports fixtures or concerts.

* ''TheGoodies'' played with these limitations somewhat by having most of the dialogue-based scenes filmed indoors in videotape, while a lot of the filmed outdoor scenes were silent (with a Bill Oddiefied score) experiments in slapstick comedy.

to:

* The ConceptVideo for DavidBowie's "D.J." (1979) uses this, with the side effect that it furthers the contrast between the title character's public and private lives. On the filmed city streets he's happy, confident, and surrounded by his fans, but in the videotaped studio -- where he's presumably alone -- he's having a dangerous mental breakdown.

Added Mr. Bean example.

Added DiffLines:

* It's quite noticeable in MrBean especially as the outdoor scenes are much more fast-paced (usually involving driving) than the slower and more meticulous studio scenes.

Added \"The Twilight Zone\" to this trope.


* ''MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' has a sketch[[hottip:*:"Society for Putting Things On Top of Other Things"]] in which this is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by a character (on videotape) looking out of the door. The moment he does so the scene switches to 16mm, and he declares, "Good Lord, I'm on film! How did that happen?"

Added DiffLines:

* Season 2 of the original series of ''TheTwilightZone'' is another North American example, though there are only six episodes ever recorded on videotape ("The Lateness of the Hour", "[[ChristmasEpisode The Night of the Meek]]", "The Whole Truth", "Twenty-Two", "Static", and "Long-Distance Call"), using four video cameras on a studio soundstage at CBS Television City, as a cost-cutting measure mandated by CBS programming head James T. Aubrey. However, videotape was a relatively primitive medium in the early 1960s, thus the editing of tape was next to impossible. Even worse, the requisite multicamera setup of the videotape experiment made location shooting difficult, severely limiting the potential scope of the storylines, so the crew had to abandon the videotaping project.

As one of the Edit Tips says, in-jokes and memes don\'t automatically make things funny, and should be avoided unless they\'re actually relevant to the specific example.
