When an action is massive enough to fill the entire screen to the brim, chances are the camera is going to cut away to a far-off, bigger-scale setting (usually, but not limited to, the space); in which the said event is still visible. This is done with the purpose of remarking on just how large what happened is. It's not rare for a Distant Reaction Shot to be followed by the camera zooming back to the small picture consequences, i.e., a take of characters far from the epicenter being affected by the event. It may also be Played for Laughs as a funny(and budget-saving) form of Understatement, implying that if the result can be seen from way out there, it must have been pretty impressive up close. When a distant reaction shot is used for censorship reasons (whether to cover up bad language, violence, someone about to throw up, or sexual intercourse), then it's a Discretion Shot. Often used for the Apocalypse Wow. The Scream is a specific version of this. It might make liberal use of Standardized Space Views. |

Megas XLR uses this in the episode "Universal Remote" several times when Megas is trying to destroy Skalgar when he's got his shield. Coop has Megas unleash everything it has on a planet sized alien, when it hits the alien, the scene cuts miles away to which the whole alien can be seen, and the explosion is shown to be a mere firecracker on the alien. |

A tragic one occurs in Astonishing X-Men, when Kitty Pryde uses her powers to permanently fuse with a gigantic bullet that's on course with the Earth, making the object intangible and thus saving the planet. As this happens, Professor X, who's in exile on Genosha and has been out of the plot for nearly the whole series, is shown holding his head and crying, signifying that he's feeling the pain. Justified in that he's one of the most powerful psychics in the world, and implied to be directly connected to all of the X-Men. | |

In The Simpsons: An early "April Fools"-themed episode had Bart pranking Homer with an overshaken can of Duff beer. When Homer finally opens the can, Bart barely has time to call him on it before the sheer force of the exploding beer destroys the entire house, and the scene cuts to the police officers on patrol two blocks away witnessing the resulting Mushroom Cloud. In the first part of "Who Shot Mr. Burns?", the family receives a thank you letter from Burns for the assorted chocolates... except for Homer, who had sent the candies in the hopes that Mr. Burns would at least remember his name. When Homer reads the letter, he orders the kids to step out of the room before unleashing a major F-Bomb. The audience doesn't hear it, but we cut to outside of the house as the church's organ lets out a note (Fittingly, F minor), crows are disturbed and fly off from their perches, and the neighbors around the street stand around in shock. Another episode had Bart shout "Testing!" through 10 megaphones. The sound was so loud not only did it cause windows all over Springfield to break but also shattered every bottle of Duff beer Homer had in the fridge. In "We're On the Road to D'oh-where", Homer learns that he has to drive Bart cross-country to a reform camp after learning he's on the No-Fly List, just as he was planning a trip to Las Vegas with his friends, causing him to let out a massive "D'OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!" that can be heard all the way from Moe's Tavern. |

In one Cubitus strip, the titular dog blows an inflatable firecracker as it inflates to humongous proportions and is about to burts. We are then treated to a reaction shot showing Earth as a pale blue dot surrounded by a cartoonish explosion, and a caption explaining this is the firecracker explosion as seen from far away in deep space, with no onomatopoeia to avoid deafening the readers. | |

Toriko does a comically-lengthy version of this with the dropping of the Dodurian Bomb (basically a natural Stink Bomb). The moment the fruit's olfactory onslaught is unleashed, we first get a bird's eye view as the fruit's giant stink cloud explodes. We then see 17 different characters react to it all across Human World. Most show variants of "What the smell?!", one (Teppei, the guy who sent Toriko and Komatsu there) prays, and another (Sunny) collapses in reaction to it. Only one (Zongeh) doesn't react due to smell tolerance, but the two next to him do. Also done in a more serious way during the final battle against NEO to show off how extreme it is - multiple characters' attacks end up battering the poor planet, such as a palm strike embedding a country-sized hand shape into the mantle, and Toriko's own Leg Knife cleaving off a chunk of the horizon. |

In the Garfield strip for 14 November 1999, Garfield holds a sleeping Jon's eyes open as Odie licks them. The last panel shows two aliens on the Moon wondering what the screaming is. A Square Root of Minus Garfield strip relocates the aliens to the Saturnian moon Minas, as part of the "Garfield [word that sounds like 'Minus'] Garfield" Running Gag. The Rant points out that this makes the scream even louder. | |

Neon Genesis Evangelion: One episode shows a small red patch on a map of the globe. We soon find out that a miles-wide circle got wiped out when one of the new Evas had a... glitch. A less extravagent scene occurs whenever an Angel is destroyed: the camera cuts to a far-off place where the audience can see a massive cross-shaped explosion. Happens to EVA-04 in the above example, as well as with every human on the planet during the Third Impact. In a flashback to the Second Impact, there is a scene which shows the event from a satellite in four photographs, which show the event creating a huge expanse of nothingness when seen from orbit forming over the South Pole, as well as the White Moon which spawned the Angels. |

In Deep Impact, the comet Beiderman enters the atmosphere and leaves a titanic smoking trail across the sky. Helpless people stand and watch as it plummets towards Earth. Then it hits in the Atlantic ocean, and before there's even a sound, the camera cuts to an outer-space view that shows the tremendous shockwave clearing away clouds for thousands of miles, and a funnel of flames rises from ground zero all the way to the ionosphere. Likewise, when the Messiah plunges into the depths of the larger, deadlier ''Wolf'' comet, the camera follows it almost all the way through... then we cut to the exterior of the comet as it explodes into harmless chunks. | |

American Dad! uses (and mildly subverts) this in the episode "A Smith in the Hand". Steve attempts to use a hot iron on a piece of wood placed directly over Stan's crotch. When the expected Hilarity Ensues, it cuts to a mountain range with forest animals as we hear Stan's scream, and an avalanche occurs. Later, Stan is rubbing ointment on the wound, which results in a... different type of scream. The same cut is used, and another avalanche occurs, at which point one of the animals asks why they keep grazing there. | |

Then, it zooms out to show the explosion in the area. Then in the city. Then it zooms out further... | |

Dragon Ball Abridged: When Vegeta discovers that Gohan swiped his stashed Dragon Ball, we get a string of these showing that Vegeta's yell is audible from the Z-warrior's hideout, Frieza's base, Goku's spaceship (still in space), Yemma's house in the afterlife, and Earth 20 years in the future. This happens again from Vegeta when he realizes that Gohan, Krillin and Dende are wishing with the Namekian Dragon Balls loud enough that Piccolo, who was on the other side of the planet could hear it. |

Futurama does this in the episode "Roswell That Ends Well", with a nuclear test going off and obliterating the man Fry thought was his grandfather. The scene then cuts to a diner where Professor Farnsworth and Leela are sitting down to eat as the mushroom cloud from the explosion appears in the window. Neither they nor the residents of the town seem to pay it much mind. Believe it or not, that was realistic - during the 1950s, atomic tests in the desert southwest were so commonplace that people eventually stopped paying them much attention. | |

Father Ted did this in one episode where a milk truck (in... well... near Ireland) is filled with explosives and blown up. The audience doesn't witness the actual explosion, but instead cuts to a shot of an Eskimo ice-fishing somewhere far above the Arctic Circle, who gives a surprised jerk and looks around in puzzlement. This is also a Gilligan Cut, as it happens in the middle of the Hoist by His Own Petard villain giving the page-quote above. | |

One or two examples in SpongeBob SquarePants. In "Dying for Pie", Squidward had thought that SpongeBob had exploded from eating a pie bomb. But it turns out he had been saving it for them to share. And just as SpongeBob is about to offer the pie, he trips and the pie flies in Squidward's face, and the camera cuts away to a massive live action explosion (and Squidward's understated "ouch".) In "Band Geeks", Squidward is the conductor of a band, and urges the band to play really loudly so that they sound good, operating on the logic that people talk loud when they want to act smart. As soon as he motions the band to play loudly, the camera cuts to the exterior of the hall and the windows shattering. The camera then cuts back to Squidward's distorted face and him suggesting that maybe they should play so quietly no one can hear them. In "Missing Identity" when SpongeBob curiously takes a small taste of Gary's Snail-Po, he is so disgusted that the camera cuts to the outside of the pineapple, then to the downtown streets, then to Snail-Po Headquarters as his yells of "BLEH!!!" are heard and vibrate out. Even the workers inside the headquarters are aware of it. In "Once Bitten" as Gary runs amok and causes everyone to get "Mad Snail Disease", SpongeBob cries out, "Gary? Gary?! GARY?! GARY!!", followed by jumping zoom-outs to Conch Street, the Earth, and the Milky Way. At the end of "The Great Patty Caper" when Mr. Krabs is shocked that he has enough in his account to pay for the damage of the bank caused by a Runaway Train, the camera zooms out from the bank interior to outside and to the entire Earth as Mr. Krabs yells out: "NOOOOO!!!!!!" In "Barnacle Face" when Pearl lets out a scream so loud upon first seeing the barnacle on her face which popped up out of nowhere, the camera cuts to the various other high school students who also hear, followed by a long shot of the whole city. |

And still Applejack thinks that "she took that well"... At the very end of "Just for Sidekicks" when Spike eats his last gemstone for his cake without warning, the camera cuts to outside the library as he whines out, "WHYYYY!!??", which is loud enough for Applejack and Apple Bloom to hear as well. |

An example occurs in the first episode of the webcomic Flintlocke's Guide to Azeroth, when the title character uses a high-power explosive on a squirrel. Cut to a pair of dwarves halfway across Loch Modan, observing the mushroom cloud in the distance, and correctly identifying it as Flintlocke's handiwork. | |

Scarlet Lady: In "Reverser", Chloé overhears Nathaniel and Alix discussing a comic he's been posting on the school blog, with him referring to a "Scarlet Queen". Assuming that the comic must be singing her "heroic" alter ego's praises, she checks it out... only to learn that it's a an Alternate Universe Fan Fic that asks "What if Marigold was the Ladybug heroine?", casting both Chloé and Scarlet Lady as villains. The scene cuts to a long-distance shot of the school while Chloé shrieks in outrage. | |

Beast Wars has perhaps the world's only depiction of destructive Transformer flatulence, caused by a bad reaction to wild beans. The establishing shot is from high orbit. The enormous blue mushroom cloud of gaseous Energon that results is larger than all of north Africa, billows out past the stratosphere, and causes massive atmospheric ripples. Pretty impressive for one techno-organic rhinoceros of average size. | |

In Rise of the Guardians, during the competition North, Jack, Bunny, and Sandy are holding to collect the teeth, North jumps down a chimney. Below, Bunny lights up a fire and says, "Ho-ho-ho." We then cut to outside of the house as an explosion comes out of the chimney and we hear North scream. | |

An occasional gag that would pop up in Hey Arnold!, whenever Helga would get frustrated with Arnold. She would look up and shout, "ARNOOOOOOOOLLLD!" Cut to Arnold and Gerald (who would usually be on the other end of town). Arnold would look up, turn to Gerald and ask, "Did you hear something?" To which Gerald would reply, "Nope." | |

Family Guy In "Dial Meg for Murder", a hardened Meg steps into the shower with a loofa while Peter is in it. She tells him "Don't worry about it", and then... In "Quagmire's Dad", Quagmire's sex-changed father Ida tells Quagmire that she met someone, and he excitedly asks her the man's name. The scene then cuts to outside his house, where we hear Quagmire shout a Big "NO!" from finding out that "someone" is Brian. |

Parodied in Bolt. A Calico helicopter is blown up in the opening action sequence. It pulls back to three different angles, then pulls back even further to a shot from across the bay... where the explosion is tiny, and barely knocks over an empty paper cup sitting on a ledge. | |

Dexter's Laboratory does this with Dexter letting off an extremely powerful fart. First it zooms out to show his house (shaking from the fart), then it zooms out further to his neighborhood (shaking from the fart). After that, it zooms out showing the planet, and finally, it zooms out, showing the universe. Throughout this, we hear Dexter farting, the indication being that it was so loud, the entire cosmos could hear it. When we zoom back in, we see that he embedded the TV in the wall. | |
