| Cutaway Gag | comment |
A Cutaway Gag is a joke generally found in sillier comedies in which a character says something and the action immediately cuts to a throwaway joke related to what the character said. The Cutaway Gag is usually a non sequitur which has absolutely nothing to do with the plot of the comedy. It is just there to be funny. If the gag is funny, no one minds the Non Sequitur. If it isn't, then cutting away to show off a moment that's barely-related to the current scene will just hurt the flow and pacing of the story. A staple of the Gag Series, or those using Rapid-Fire Comedy (after all, it's easy to have lots of jokes if you don't need them to make sense). These cutaways can be softened if there is a clear Narrator or Framing Device that imitates a person's Derailed Train of Thought, as instead of an interchangeable joke you still get an impression of linear development. Compare Big-Lipped Alligator Moment, Imagine Spot, Crazy Memory, Product-Promotion Parade (which this can overlap with), Separate Scene Storytelling. Also an Aversion to the Noodle Incident, especially when they briefly start off with a bit of dialogue that would imply such a trope. |

Ultimate Spider-Man (2012) also makes rather frequent use of them, thanks to Spidey's continuous non-sequiturs, from imagining himself flying on a jetpack (after he says he'd love it if S.H.I.E.L.D. gave him one) to imagining Mary Jane as a female J. Jonah Jameson, haircut and all (when Peter finds out she'll do an internship at the Daily Bugle). | |

Titus featured so many cutaway gags that some fans referred to it as a live action "Family Guy," though most were flashbacks showing Titus' messed-up childhood and teen years. The show did have a Framing Device in the black and white "neutral space" that allowed for more outlandish things to happen. | |

Although it's not widely associated with them, The Simpsons has done a number of such gags, but was more attributed to a Funny Background Event or a more legitimate character flashback instead of being a complete Non Sequitur. One commentator on an early DVD commentary even expressed surprise that they used to do so many. The same DVD commentary said they stopped because Family Guy was doing so many, in an attempt to be different. A particularly memorable gag is in the episode "Dangerous Curves": | |

Episode 1 of Kotoura-san uses this as a weird sort of Meet Cute. After a dark and depressing backstory sequence, Haruka meets Yoshihisa, reads his mind, and she and the audience see...a purple frog-man in a desert doing a bizarre dance to a series of random noises. There's no real point to this freaky daydream other than as a "transition" to the cutesy OP and the much less dark second half of the episode. | |

WandaVision: "All-New Halloween Spooktacular!" When Tommy brags about being the "cool twin" and Billy takes offense, it briefly cuts to them playing DanceDanceRevolution together, where Billy stumbles and falls over. "Pietro" initiates a fake flashback by mentioning a childhood Halloween in Sokovia to Wanda. Cut to a young Wanda and Pietro visiting a house covered in decaying Soviet posters and a flaming barrel on the lawn, where a brown-toothed old woman presents a single dead fish for them "to share". "Breaking the Fourth Wall": The morning after expanding the Hex to save Vision's life, Wanda wakes up, reaches for Vision's side of the bed, and finds he's not there. Moments later, Billy and Tommy barge into the bedroom complaining that their game is "freaking out". Cut to them trying to play on the Wii, only for their Wii Remotes to morph into older game controllers and then turn into Uno cards. |

Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People: In "Homestar Ruiner", if Strong Bad asks why he wasn't invited to Marzipan's party, Marzipan brings up the last time Strong Bad came to one of her parties. It cuts to Strong Bad on the roof of Marzipan's house, wearing an eyepatch, shouting that he's "Lord Barglebroth, come for your souls!" and jumping off the roof into a cake. From Strong Bad's inability to remember the event, it's heavily implied he was drunk at the time. | |

Arrested Development featured this a lot as well, being a Mockumentary. Sometimes, the gag is to clarify or contradict a character's statement. Other times, the gag clarifies a comment by displaying a pop culture reference to a work that only exists in the show's universe: Sometimes, the gag is played with. |

The Nutt House Ddesn't actually cut away to them, but many of the jokes are random insertions that have nothing to do with anything else. Examples include: The astronaut (in full space suit) going into his room ("My flight got cancelled.") The Native American requesting a room. ("Do you have a reservation?" "I did. It was called 'Manhattan'.") The couple going into a photo booth marked "3000 for $1" ("What a bargain!"), followed by a long sequence of flashes going off. |

As suggested by the quote above, Scrubs, with J.D.'s flights of fancy. Although the one time they actually made a joke about a manatee, it was not one of these. (Although it was a non sequitur, it wasn't a cutaway.) | |

Under the Northern Lights: In chapter thirty-one, after Twilight and Spike hurry away after performing for which Saga insisted that the participants paint and dress themselves up like stereotypical necromancers, Eira comments that they should have washed themselves off first. The scene then cuts to Twilight and Spike, with the latter saying that they should really have washed themselves before leaving while Twilight fends off a crowd of counterculture teens who think that she's actually a wicked sorceress after the rest of the locals ran off in panic. | |

The Rick and Morty episode Total Rickall uses cutaway gags to parody Remember the New Guy? and Clip Show: A group of shapeshifting alien parasites invade the Smith family's home, and attempt to convince them they've always been a part of the family by implanting false memories of past adventures into their heads. Each time they attempt this, we're then shown the alleged memory. | |

Animaniacs did these on occasion. More than once, they took advantage of having someone named Wakko in the cast, and led into the cutaway with the exchange: In "Bully for Skippy": Another one had a character complaining about the Warners doing a Stealth Hi/Bye gag, saying that he told them not to do it anymore. Yakko's response is "Yeah, but you didn't tell the writers!" Cut to the writers in hysterics as they put that gag in the script. |

Seen in Inuyasha when the group are trying to stop two warring brothers from tearing up the countryside. When Inuyasha gets side-tracked complaining about how warring brothers cause needless hassle for everyone and then defensively claiming that he and Sesshoumaru have nothing in common with these two brothers, Sango - in a moment of complete randomness - wonders if Sesshoumaru's the kind of person who sneezes when he's talked about. Cue the momentary cutaway which doubles as a Sneeze Cut to reveal that it's actually Jaken who sneezes on Sesshoumaru's behalf and that he really dislikes this aspect of being Sesshoumaru's servant. Then the normal plotline continues. | |

The Order of the Stick does this occasionally One example being in this comic. In this strip when a discussion of superheroes on islands leads to Elan misunderstanding Greek mythology. Another superhero one, when Leeky Windstaff casts fire storm, there's a cutaway to Firestorm. Much later, a meta-example in Girard's pyramid, when Varsuvius has fallen into a pit trap while freaking out over the unintended consequences of their Familicide spell. Two strips featuring discussions among the rest of the party cut away at appropriate moments to show V's situation. Then, in a third strip, a comment is made about the pit traps, followed by a Beat, then: |

American Dad! had a few in the pilot episode, but quickly dropped them in an attempt to distance the show from Family Guy. Also, in "Stan of Arabia", after Stan insists that Francine never told him about the play she's performing in, a cutaway ensues to establish that actually yes, she told him several times. One episode lampshaded the difference by having Stan give the setup for a Cutaway Gag and nothing happens other than Francine asking what on Earth he was doing. Also lampshaded when Roger tries a cutaway gag setup ("That was as obvious as the Sequel Hook at the end of Batman Begins!"), but all it does is prompt Stan to ask what the hell that has to do with anything. A straight example appears in "Wheel and the Legman and the Case of Grandpa's Key": |

Naturally, some The Nostalgia Critic episodes feature these gags in reviews. In his Mr. Magoo review, he observes the scene where Magoo tries to rip off the Mr. Bean cooking scene as he cooks a roast chicken to instructions on the TV. Then the dog hits the remote, which changes the cooking show to a workout program. Magoo proceeds to give the chicken a workout. The Critic immediately asks, "Yeah! How long until he switches to the porno channel?" | |

Episode 16 of Slayers had Lina, Gourry, and Amelia travelling with a theater company. The director decided to cast them in an upcoming play, with Amelia as the hero. In one scene where she reads a line from the script (in her usual Large Ham / Love Freak way), the background shifts to make it look like she is a voice actress in a recording studio. Then she asks "how was it?" — cut to Gourry behind the recording desk, who says "Sorry, you were blowing into the mic." The background then shifts back to normal, and Amelia responds "I was what?!" | |

30 Rock. They even managed to do this in the Live Episode; Julia Louis-Dreyfus replaced Tina Fey in the flashback scenes. The other live episode did this too, but had younger versions of the main cast, with Amy Poehler as Liz, Donald Glover as Tracy and Jimmy Fallon as Jack. The density of cutaway gags actually increased in the final season as the writers attempted to make the most of the abbreviated (12 episode) run. |

Malcolm in the Middle: Used in "Home Alone 4" when the hospital staff recognizes the boys, and Malcolm notes they have a history there, leading to a cutaway of idiotic actions taken by the brothers that landed them in the hospital. A late-series episode has Hal reveal that he had given each boy one free pass where he didn't tell Lois about something they did when Dewey gets caught smoking cigarettes. This leads to a cutaway of how Francis, Reese, and Malcolm ended up using their free passes. |

Regular Show does them once in a while. A memorable instance from "The Power", where the group arrives on the Moon thanks to Mordecai and Rigby's magic keyboard. They see a bunch of random objects and, when Benson asks how they got there, Rigby comments that while the others were in the bathroom... Benson just fired Rigby when he overhears him slacking off, he justified that Rigby never finishes his work, Rigby defends himself by saying he always finishes his work. Then cuts a few scenes showing Rigby slacking off in his job. |

The Patrick Star Show, to fit the whimsical Variety Show theme, has cutaways to other TV parodies inserted into the episodes. Whether or not they're actually relevant to the plot varies. For example, at one point in "Bummer Jobs", Squidina wheels in a TV that displays "Noir-Sense": a Film Noir-style interrogation with Fred. "Lost in Couch" interrupts itself with a furniture commercial. Notably, the double-length Halloween Episode contains a cutaway in a cutaway. It turns out that the episode is actually being watched by Frankenstein-style Mad Scientists Patrick and Plankton, and there's a skit with them. Then they watch a story about Squidward's grandma mind controlling people with her "Pantry of Doom". The Frankenstein cutaway persists throughout the episode as a sort of sub-plot, with other cutaways in it, until Patrick and Squidina find their way into it during the main plot. | |

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy uses this plenty. A good example is how a scene ending with Arthur saying "I seem to be having tremendous difficulty with my lifestyle" leads into a whole anecdote about his words being sent back in time by a freak interstellar wormhole and broadcasted to a pair of species, poised on the brink of war but about to sign a peace treaty, in which those words are the most dreadful insult imaginable. Not only are these asides some of the most beloved sections in the book, but it all helps to reflect the main theme of the books, which is that the universe is an essentially random, terrible place where bad things happen all the time for no reason. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants has some examples: From the episode "The Bully": From the episode "Doing Time:" From the "Sun Bleached" In the episode "The Great Snail Race", as Spongebob is training Gary to participate in the race, at one point (after Spongebob lampshades sexist strategies in his training) the scene abruptly cuts to Sandy saying to herself, "I don't know why, but I think I'll kick Spongebob's butt tomorrow". And at the end of the episode she does just that. There's a rather grim one in "Krusty Love", when Mr. Krabs asked what happened to Mrs. Puff's husband. Cut to live-action footage of someone using a dried-out puffer fish as a lamp, followed by a cut back to SpongeBob explaining that Mrs. Puff doesn’t like to talk about it. There’s a well known one in “Graveyard Shift.” Squidward comments that keeping the Krusty Krab open 24 hours a day is a stupid idea and asks “Who wants a Krabby Patty at 3 in the morning?” Cut to Patrick waking up to his alarm clock, saying “Oh boy, 3 am!” and eating a Krabby Patty. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: "Dragon Quest". After Twilight, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash don a really really fake-looking dragon costume, one of the real dragons notices them. In "Castle Mane-ia", Pinkie says she can't imagine why her testing of the school's new bell was cut short. We immediately cut to show exactly why. |

Doctor Who: "Resolution", atypically for the show, has one of these: when it's revealed that the villain has caused a communications blackout across the UK, the scene cuts to a woman and her two sons who find that their Internet is down, and are horrified that they might actually have to talk to each other. This is never brought up again. | |

A few YouTubers (vloggers as well as Let's Players) enjoy doing this as they mention something, then cut to a video in an entirely different setting where they demonstrate in an outragous way what they said, only to switch back to the original video with the camera on their straight or severly disturbed face. | |

Instead of skipping stupid episodes of Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon Abridged usually gives a summary of the episode and why they didn't use it. However episode 13/14 used a cutaway to blend the episodes together. | |

Big Time Rush does this on occasion, most notably when the boys are reminded of or think about past actions they've done (like in one episode, they flashback to causing an explosion in the Palmwoods pool using dynamite). Most of the time, said cutaways are mentioned later in the episode. | |

South Park: In the two-part episode "Cartoon Wars", the writing staff of Family Guy are revealed to be a group of manatees swimming around a water tank, randomly pushing around balls with words written on them into different holes listing Setting, Person and Activity. The episode featured several fake clips from Family Guy that all followed this format, and were carefully written to not be far off the style of the show. More specifically, in the episode Cartman is told that he should be a fan of Family Guy and he reacts strongly against it saying his sense of humor is more linear and actually contributes to the story. Word of God confirmed this was an Author Tract. | |

This is a core part of the comedy of Pro and Noob. Rage edits in clips from other works, with the faces of his and Cotton’a characters (or those of monsters) superimposed over the clip. As an example, he mocks Extreme Behemoth for not dealing much damage. The video then cuts to Hagrid saying “I shouldn’ta said that,” and then right back to Rage and Cotton getting their asses beat. | |

Frequently used in How I Met Your Mother, usually in the form of someone's memory or invoking a brief flashback (appropriate, given that the entire series is a flashback made of a guy's memories). | |

Gravity Falls plays with this trope a bit, but unlike other shows, this show uses it as a method of Foreshadowing or to flesh out its plot and characters instead of just as a way to get easy laughs.note Especially with one TV cutaway gag where there was an episode where the characters have watched a TV show, which the title character of said show has a twin brother. In addition, it usually ends with a lampshade by one of the main characters. | |
