The term "blipvert" comes from Max Headroom and referred to highly time-compressed advertisements. More generally, a blipvert is a brief collection of often-random images cut together very quickly. The Trope Namer made Your Head A-Splode. Note that blipverts only refer to very high speed montages. If it's a few seconds to pause on each, odds are it's just a normal Previously on…. Since they are also called Parallax Montages, don't confuse them with Motion Parallax, the act of emulating the distance/perception of movement dichotomy (farther=slower) through layers. |

Chuck does this when something from the spy database in his subconscious bubbles to the surface. Second season slows it down so viewers can make some sense out of it. There's also the "Chuck's Secret" commercial aired before the series premiered, which, when slowed down, tells the premise of the show amongst the random imagery and messages. |

This concept was used in Aliens Outbreak. In the future, the human attention span is so short that one-second-long commercial bursts are used to keep your attention. This is used to transmit an image of a Xenomorph into the viewer, making him or her obsessed with getting impregnated. | |

The End of Evangelion has a Blipvert, featuring fan mail and actual death threats sent to Hideaki Anno after the infamous last two chapters were broadcast all over Japan. One scene features a reel of all the Episode Title Cards. The technique is also used several times throughout the series. Shinji in the bath in the second episode, and most strikingly in the Mindrape sequence, where it's all scribbled words related to Sigmund Freud's theory of Psychoanalysis, as well as terms related to mental disorders, death and disease. The last half of the opening credits in the main series does this as well, cutting back and forth between scenes and major characters from the show, jargon from the show and medical terms written on stark white-on-black title cards. |

The title sequence for The Big Bang Theory presents a chronological series of together 109 images of the great moments and inventions in human history. Even in the early days, each image appears for a fraction of a second, but the pace really picks up when we get to the Industrial Revolution; progress occurs so quickly that each image appears for only a single frame. | |

It turns out that this was intended to be a warning about The Reapers, but being a stranger entirely to Prothean culture, Shepard had no way to interpret was s/he was seeing at first. It is also possible to see the vision again later in the same game. | |

The finale of Moral Orel, "Honor", opens with the very end of the first episode "The Best Christmas Ever" with Orel believing deeply that God will fix everything, and he still has hope, followed by a rapid fire montage of scenes from the series during the one year between both episodes. The montage ends with Orel getting his cast off his leg after being shot in "Nature." showing the extreme contrast of the once innocently faithful Orel one year prior, to the more depressed Orel who's endured innocence shattering events by the end of the series. | |

In Enter the Void, Gaspar Noé had to get through the opening credits "as fast" and "as graphic" as possible, since the film was already nearing three hours in length. What resulted from this was an exhilarating 2-minute display of people's names melded into Design Student's Orgasms coming one right after the other at a breakneck pace. The sequence has easily become the most iconic part of the film, heavily influencing the similarly seizure-inducing images in Kanye West's music video for "All of the Lights", and being honored by Quentin Tarantino as the greatest opening credits sequence in film history. | |

The 2000s Battlestar Galactica places a blipvert of scenes from the upcoming episode at the end of the main title sequence, an homage to the same device in Space: 1999 and Mission: Impossible. The blipvert was dropped at the beginning of the second season when the network wanted to make room for more commericals. Fan demand led to it being restored starting with "The Farm". | |

The original movie trailer for Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb, 1964. Also the trailer for A Clockwork Orange. Apparently, Stanley Kubrick liked this trope. Makes sense, as he wanted Lipsett to make the trailer for Dr. Strangelove. Lipsett declined, so he made the trailer in that style. This trailer is one of many a Shout-Out to A Clockwork Orange in Look Who's Back. |

Requiem for a Dream and its trademark "hip hop montages" played every time someone uses a psychotropic substance. These montages have become famous enough to even be parodied — Lucky Star, for example, does one with instant noodles. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer also does this in "The Gift". Careful frame-by-frame examination shows that every episode received a mention, and the very last frame was a still from the climax of the episode "The Gift" itself. Due to interlacing of frames, this was only viewable if watching one frame at a time in reverse.... | |

In Transmetropolitan they're called "Block Consumer Incentive Bursting", better known as "Buy Bombs", and contain compressed information so potent you dream advertisements in your sleep. | |

Babylon 5: An episode which took the form of a news report on the station had a "commercial" for the Psi Corps. During the commercial, the message "The Corps is your friend, trust Psi Corps" was flashed on the screen. Series creator J Michael Straczinski mentioned that the FCC has a precise definition of "subliminal advertising" and the director of that episode made sure that the Psi Corp blips were one-tenth of a second longer than that definition, to create an effect without "actually" brainwashing people. Other countries have stricter laws, requiring that segment to be cut out entirely for broadcasts in those countries. Ironically, studies have shown that subliminal advertising has no effect at all. The end of the last episode featured a blipvert of pictures of the entire cast and crew, with the intention that people could pause the playback (or, today, rewind their DVR) and put faces to all the names in the credits. |
