* In the SupermanTheAnimatedSeries episode ''Mxyzptlkated'', Jimmy hands Clark a comic strip page featuring the titular Mr. Mxyzptlk. There are other comics on the page, Dini The Meany (parodying CalvinAndHobbes), Gleen (parodying {{Peanuts}}), Dan Danger (parodying DickTracy) and Zub Street (no idea what it parodies). You cannot read these strips without freeze framing.

* Similar to the Sailor Moon example above, [[TheSlayers Slayers]] has some single-frame eyecatches that can only really bee seen in freeze frame. A memorable one includes a super-deformed Gourry mooning the audience.

** Speaking of YouTube, once this troper was listening to a video consisting of only a single picture and a song, except for a single frame that is near impossible to stop on without repeated practice and a sharp eye to catch it where the one who posted the video slipped in a picture with graphic nudity. So even normal videos can have these aswell.

* ''{{Unreal}} Tournament'' has a smiley face painted on the front of the Flak Cannon's secondary fire shells, which is nearly impossible to notice in normal gameplay.
** Except if you get headshot with a flak shell. Then that image is [[IncrediblyLamePun the last thing to go through your head]]. Also, the Redeemer missile object has "Adios!" scrawled on the side, fitting for a man-portable nuclear cruise missile.

*** This is actually a very common way of doing this effect. ''Timesplitters 2'' does it (you can zoom in and see a tiny head using a sniper rifle at point blank), and I believe ''Team Fortress 2'' does it with the Eyelander/Skullcutter's kill animations. Furthermore, you can make a ragdoll in ''Garry's Mod'' appear to have no head my simply deflating it until it becomes invisible. This is because it's a lot easier for both the programmer and the computer/console to simply scale vertices or force them all into one point than to actually add to or take away from the 3D mesh.

** Once in a while, though, something the creators intended as a joke was noticed and overanalyzed to death by crazy fans (such as this troper), like the Dharma Shark, who was then jokingly named "Ezra James Sharkington" by Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, and popped back up in a sixth-season episode, presumably as a ShoutOut to said crazy fans.
* In later episodes of {{Home Improvement}}, the intro had "Watch Tool Time" flash quickly several times when the cast members were shown on screen. A screenshot of this can be found [[http://www.eeggs.com/items/17809.html here.]]
* In DoctorWho episode ''The Time Of Angels'' you can quickly see that there's a bright red [[AC: panic]] button on the Doctor's TARDIS keyboard.
