Kind of a cross between a regular Flashback and an Imagine Spot. What distinguishes it from a regular Flashback is that it is a quick cut to the past that only lasts a few seconds before snapping back to the present. This is usually played for comedy. For example, Bob tells Sue that he has a lot of experience with women. Cut to Bob getting his face slapped by various women and then snap back to the present. It can also be used to show something humorous that happened in the past. What distinguishes it from an Imagine Spot is that it shows something that "really" happened. Compare Hilarious in Flashback. Contrast with Flashback-Montage Realization, which is usually played for drama and in which multiple previous moments are shown to support The Reveal happening in the present, and Flashback Echo, which is usually played for drama as well. Not to be confused with Age Cut. Examples |

Mechamato: By the start of episode 3, there are 3 more robots imprisoned in Amato's garage. They try to persuade Amato into letting them go, but Amato responds with "Did you forget all that stuff you guys did?", and three brief successive flashbacks showcase the mischief that they were up to while Mechamato was fighting them. | |

A dramatic example in X-23: Innocence Lost. When X-23 goes to work on Zander Rice, frames of her pummeling him into a bloody, misshapen pulp are intercut with her memories of the Cold-Blooded Torture he inflicted on her, making it clear that killing him is not just a mission, It's Personal. | |

In Switched, rather than showing previous events with a recap, the show gives quick flashbacks to significant events in-episode. This may be justified as there are many voice-overs throughout the show, viewers watching without subtitles could easily be confused as to whether the audio is being repeated or is brand new. | |

Arrested Development: In one episode, Tobias is covered in blue paint and tells Michael, "I just blue myself." Later, after he gets hit by a car and ends up in the hospital, his wife Lindsay asks Michael what the last thing he said was. Cue flashback to "I just blue myself." A running gag is Lindsay's attempts to seduce the family lawyer Bob Loblaw, and him completely ignoring her. In one episode she claims to have finally caught his attention with one of her "little hints". The ensuing flashback shows her grabbing him by the collar and shouting "Why won't you fuck me!?" |

RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs the World: In season one a choreographer for The Musical asks contestant Mo Heart if she has any tricks that might help her dancing. The show cuts to Confession Cam where she says this may be a bad idea and asks the producers to insert a relevant flashback. A brief flashback to an earlier Drag Race show then reveals a botched attempt to cartwheel — and the judge's reaction. | |

Non-comedic example in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Striker S: When Vita gets stabbed through her chest by a cloaked Gadget Drone, there's a quick Flashback to a more complete version of the Snow Means Death incident, which revealed that one of those things was what almost killed Nanoha. There's also the famous scene in which Nanoha defeats Quattro: Another flashback occurs just after Nanoha saves Vivio. |

Used multiple times in nearly every episode of 30 Rock. So much so, that in the Live Episode, Julia Louis-Dreyfus played Liz Lemon in flashbacks, while Tina Fey continued to play the role in the main narrative. They averted the trope when Liz mentioned she couldn't believe they had been doing TGS for three years to Jack. The both looked off like they were reminiscing but the clip never played. |

She flashes back to being nasty to an environmentalist. And again when Jason reveals he knows Eleanor's secret, which he claims is thanks to using his 'powers of deduction'. Cut to a very drunk Eleanor just telling him the night they got to the Good Place. |

Central Park: In Season 1 "Episode One", Bitsy wonders how could the dog walker lose Shampagne, but Helen assures her that he seemed competent when she interviewed him. A quick flashback revealed that Helen purposely hired an incompetent dog walker so Shampagne can get lost so she would be next in line to inherit Bitsy's fortune. In Season 1 "Hat Luncheon", when Owen tells Molly he hates speeches and he's not good at it and Paige tries to reassure him, he get a flashback to Owen bombing his speech twice. In Season 1 "Garbage Ballet", because of the increased trash at the park, Paige believes that the increased trash means more rats in the park. Owen tries to reassure her there aren't more rats in the park than usual, until a quick flashback shows Owen staring in horror at the sight of rats all over the trash. In Season 1 "Dog Spray Afternoon": When Molly wants to join Owen to see the graffiti on the fountain, Owen tells Molly to not take an interest in graffiti, but Molly tells him she only has a passing interest. Then we get a quick flashback of her saying cool when sees graffiti in the park and even drawing her own in her notebook. When Helen has to take Shampagne on a walk again, she tells Bitsy that the good dog leash is at the cleaners and she has to use an "old" one. A flashback to five minutes ago reveals that Helen dropped the "old" dog leash in a sink garbage disposal to damage it so it can be loose enough for Shampagne to break free. In Season 1 "Hot Oven", when Owen tells Molly she should invite Brendan over for pizza night, Molly brings up that Owen's pizza can be challenging, then we flashback to Owen holding a slice of his pizza that falls apart. In Season 1 "Live It Up Tonight", after Birdie explains who Zoom Abromavich is, we cut to a flashback of Zoom giving a movie tour about Vanilla Sky in Central Park. When Zoom asks everyone if they need him to explain the movie before he gives the tour, everyone immediately rise their hand up. |

Also used (and, some would say, overused) in Family Guy, happening almost every episode. This is played with in an episode in Season 2, when Peter flashes back to something that happened ten minutes ago. Ten minutes ago in their time. We saw it happen closer to one minute ago. This was also played with in a later episode when Stewie is sucked into a portal in his closet by a malevolent poltergeist, and says something that appears to be setting up a flashback, but is interrupted as he enters the portal, and the flashback doesn't happen. And again when Stewie said something expecting a flashback to happen, but they didn't have a clip to show. |

In The Critic, Alice asks Jay when was the last time he was dressed by a woman, citing his wardrobe as the source of his unpopularity. We see Jay as a child, being dressed in a little Lord Fauntleroy outfit by his mother for summer camp, only to get on the bus for Attica Prison. "In every boy's life, there's a summer of '76." | |
