"Man, do you remember that article we wrote about framing devices?""That was a damn good article. How did it go again?""Well, I believe it went something like this..."
The Framing Device is a narrative technique in which a story is surrounded ("framed") by a secondary story, creating a story within a story, often through Separate Scene Storytelling. The inner story is usually the bulk of the work. The framing device places the inside story within a different context.
Framing devices typically involve outer story characters as the audience of the inner story, such as a parent reading a bedtime story to a child. Other times, the outer story character is the author of, or a performer in, the inner story. Occasionally, the inner story is a hallucination or delusion experienced by one of the outer story characters.
The inner story does not need to be a work of fiction from a frame-story character's point of view: letters, journals, and memoirs can also be used as framing devices, often in the form of Day in the Life.
Anthologies and Clip Shows often use framing devices to connect the unrelated elements into a unified whole. The earlier "Treehouse of Horror" specials of The Simpsons use a framing device in this way, though the practice was eventually abandoned.
Occasionally, an entire series can use a persistent Framing Device, such as Cro, which was framed by a recently thawed mammoth, who was telling the stories which composed the bulk of each episode. A noteworthy example from the days of radio is Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, whose stories were told in the form of explanations to a private detective's expense account. This method was also used to get foreign children's shows that were Quarter Hour Shorts on the air in the United States back in the 90's, usually by creating an entirely new show to serve as the framing device. To a lesser extent, devices such as the Captain's Log can be viewed as a Framing Device, especially when (as in many Star Trek: The Original Series episodes) they appear to have been written after the fact.
The Framing Device is Older Than Dirt: It goes right back to the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt with the "Tale of the Shipwrecked Sailor", c. 2300-2100 BC. Sometimes the trope is written using nested framing devices that are several layers deep, as in the Arabian Nights. Frankenstein is framed by a story of an arctic expedition coming across the dying Dr. Frankenstein; The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is framed by the mariner foisting his story on an unwilling wedding guest. One of the first (if not the first) examples in film is from The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, which (on a suggestion from Fritz Lang) framed the original story as a flashback in an asylum.
The technique sometimes seems to be a byproduct of an ancient notion that it was improper to waste people's time with lengthy fabrications.
This is frequently used as a technique to highlight that the narrator of the framed story is not the actual author, and so draw attention to the possibility of an Unreliable Narrator.
Super-Trope of Recap by Audit (the aftermath of an event reveals or sums up what happened), Storybook Opening (story opens with a storybook being opened, and the focus going into that book), Myth Prologue (a work starts by telling a myth that the plot is based around), Whole Episode Flashback (an episode consisting almost entirely of flashbacks), How We Got Here (the story stops and retells the events prior leading up to that point), Interrogation Flashback (the story is told via someone being pumped for information), and Nostalgic Narrator (the narrator looks back at their earlier life often).
When framing devices are stacked on top of each other, they create a Nested Story. If a framing device is set up and is later forgotten by the end of the story, it becomes a Forgotten Framing Device. If the existence of a framing device is used as a Plot Twist, we're dealing with a Nested Story Reveal. If a story alternates between a character's past and present but doesn't use a framing device, it's Flashback B-Plot. If the framing story is "I came across this story and decided to publish it", the author is invoking Direct Line to the Author. If done badly, you might find Expo Speak.
Compare Intro-Only Point of View.

The Pendragon Adventure: This is how most of the books in the 10-book series are told. The protagonist Bobby Pendragon writes down his thoughts in a sort of diary as a way of organizing his thoughts and keeping himself sane and sends them to his 2 friends back on present-day Earth who read it along with the audience. Though some of the 5th book and all of the 10th are in his first-person point of view.

The "Graybles" episodes of Adventure Time are framed by the character Cuber, who speaks directly to the audience and seems to exist outside the canon of the show in some kind of futuristic space setting. These episodes begin and end with him asking the viewer to try to guess the theme of five seemingly unrelated short clips of the show (called graybles), which he plays on a triangular screen.

Bojack Horseman featured an episode told through Princess Carolyn's great-great-great granddaughter. She tells her class about Princess Carolyn's really bad day (such as her miscarriage and inability to conceive, firing Judah, and breaking up with her boyfriend), along with some "worldbuilding" side plots involving other characters. At the end of the episode, it's revealed that the granddaughter is entirely fictional, and was made up by Princess Carolyn as a story to keep herself happy.
"INT. SUB" also uses this structure for the majority of the episode. It focuses on Diane's therapist and her wife (a mediator for Todd and Princess Carolyn) discussing their new clients to each other, but changing their names due to client confidentiality rules. So, Bojack becomes "Bobo the Angsty Zebra" (with the title sequence changed to reflect this), Diane becomes "Princess Diana", Todd becomes "Emperor Finger-Face", and PC becomes "a Tangled Fog of Pulsating Yearning in the Shape of a Woman."

The Forbidden Kingdom was implied by its trailer and promotional material to be a kung fu film set in ancient China, starring Jackie Chan and Jet Li. It was, in part. It was also a Journey to the West inspired story, starring a modern day South Bostoner learning to defend himself and getting character development through a dream. Or Was It a Dream?

The above mentioned Frankenstein actually has framing devices nested three deep at the point where the monster tells his own story to Victor; Victor is talking to the Arctic explorer Robert Walton, who's writing a letter to his sister. There is actually a thematic reason for the Walton frame: Walton is in danger of turning out like Victor, but in the end he gives up his crazy ambitions and goes home to his family.

Both of Podcast: The Ride's Story Arcs use a narrative of the show's hosts attempting to save the soul of the Sector Keeper, a Friendly Ghost whose died at Universal Studios' CityWalk and whose soul cannot rest until these three "childless men in their thirties" talk about every shop in either CityWalk or Downtown Disney. The hosts regularly refer to this as an obvious framing device in-universe, playing for laughs how flimsy an excuse it is for justifying why anyone would devote over 24 hours to discussing such a mundane topic.

The Dalemark Quartet: Book three, The Spellcoats, is framed as protagonist Tanaqui weaving the story into the titular spellcoats. This also results in an unusual form of No Ending, as the spellcoats become vital to the resolution of the plot, and thus Tanaqui cannot weave the actual ending, although she does weave what she's been told will happen when the coats are done. The book ends with an In-Universe note from a historian who's commenting on the coats, which were dug up from a hillside centuries after the events of the book.

The early "Treehouse of Horror" episodes had them:
The first "Treehouse Of Horror" had Homer listening in on Bart and Lisa exchanging three scary stories in Bart's treehouse (hence the name of the series' Halloween episodes).
"Treehouse Of Horror II" had Bart, Lisa, and Homer eating too much candy before bed, with the Three Shorts themselves presented as prolonged Nightmare Sequences. The last short appears to have ended with a return to the frame story, only to continue where the short left off by revealing that Mr. Burns had his head grafted to Homer's body. Cue fake On the Next.
"Treehouse Of Horror III" featured the family throwing a Halloween party, with Lisa, Grandpa, and Bart telling all the stories.
"Treehouse Of Horror IV" is the last one to feature a framing device, with Bart presenting the stories in the manner of Night Gallery.
Whatever plot the subsequent Halloween episodes had outside of the three stories is mostly confined to the Cold Openings nowadays.

Big Bag was Sesame Workshop's take on this genre, focusing on a general store run by a a girl named Molly, her dog friend Chelli and some anthropomorphic objects including the titular bag. It ran various cartoon shorts from around the world like William's Wish Wellingtons, Slim Pig and Koki, including two made specifically for the series: Troubles The Cat, which utilized the themes established in the main story, and Ace and Avery.

Several Redwall books are framed by an Abbeydweller telling a story to a group of Dibbuns. At the end, a character from the framed story would turn out to be the Narrator All Along.
Marlfox instead presents itself as a stage play put on later by the theater company involved in the story, but that does raise the question of how they learned about certain plotlines when everyone involved in them dies without telling anyone else.

The Hobbit film trilogy seems to use this technique by using Bilbo's writing down of his adventure to the Lonely Mountain into the Red Book on his 110th birthday. It cleverly uses it to help establish the relationship between Frodo and Bilbo and the fact that they live together, which was never really done in the The Lord of the Rings.

The Simpsons:
The early "Treehouse of Horror" episodes had them:
The first "Treehouse Of Horror" had Homer listening in on Bart and Lisa exchanging three scary stories in Bart's treehouse (hence the name of the series' Halloween episodes).
"Treehouse Of Horror II" had Bart, Lisa, and Homer eating too much candy before bed, with the Three Shorts themselves presented as prolonged Nightmare Sequences. The last short appears to have ended with a return to the frame story, only to continue where the short left off by revealing that Mr. Burns had his head grafted to Homer's body. Cue fake On the Next.
"Treehouse Of Horror III" featured the family throwing a Halloween party, with Lisa, Grandpa, and Bart telling all the stories.
"Treehouse Of Horror IV" is the last one to feature a framing device, with Bart presenting the stories in the manner of Night Gallery.
Whatever plot the subsequent Halloween episodes had outside of the three stories is mostly confined to the Cold Openings nowadays.
"The Seemingly Never-Ending Story" containing several stories-within-a-story before it turns out to be Bart telling Principal Skinner why he failed to turn in an assignment.

When Thomas & Friends was released in North America, it was framed as being stories being told by Mr. Conductor in Shining Time Station. Furthermore, the early episodes featuring the narrow gauge engines were framed as Thomas telling the other engines a story about them. The 2018 reboot "Big World! Big Adventures!" does this again by having Thomas present the story as a flashback, followed by a scene at the end where he tells the story's moral.

Some Doctor Who Expanded Universe books use this:
In the first Decalog, a psychometrist gets the stories from the things in the Seventh Doctor's pockets (including a scene where the psychometrist "goes deeper" to explain the first person stream-of-consciousness story).
In Short Trips: Repercussions, Charley finds herself on a strange airship full of people who were removed from history as a threat to the Web of Time, and learns their stories.
In Short Trips: Seven Deadly Sins, the Eighth Doctor makes seven jaded and sinful people experience one of his past adventures that illustrates the sin they examplify.
The Doctor Who New Adventures Sherlock Holmes crossover All-Consuming Fire has a framing story of the Doctor and his companions reading The Adventure of the All-Consuming Fire by John Watson. Includes a few "that's not how I remember it happening" moments, as well as letting the author state that "Sherlock Holmes" and "John Watson" are pseudonyms invented to protect the privacy of the real Holmes and Watson without having to say what their real names were.

For that matter, any of the Looney Tunes anthology movies fit this trope. For instance, The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner movie presented the selected shorts as Bugs Bunny reminiscing about his "hare-raising" exploits.
Señorella and the Glass Huarache is framed as a man telling a sad story, which is Cinderella IN MEXICO! At the end, the person he was telling the story to comments that the story was actually pretty happy, but then asks what happened to the Wicked Stepmother. "That's the sad part," says the narrator... "I married her!"

The film Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders features an elderly man telling his grandson a script idea that was rejected. This was added in post-production as a result of Executive Meddling not only demanding a Lighter and Softer tone, but also insisting on a name actor (Ernest Borgnine as the grandfather) in the movie. When the film got the Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax treatments, they spent a lot of time mocking how little effort went into making the story work as one being told to a child.

The next volumes uses this as a framework for the historian telling the story of the third to seventh Shogun, explaining the backstory of the Inner Chambers and how it works to the reader. After Yoshimune is caught up, the remaining volumes then follows Yoshimune and her descendants.

RWBY: During the episode "Kuroyuri", Ruby and Jaune are in the long-destroyed town of Kuroyuri attempting to locate medicine to save Qrow's life. Every so often, a Match Cut is used to switch from the devastation to the sight of the exact same town when it was a thriving hub of activity. The flashbacks are used to show how the town was destroyed, leaving Ren and Nora as its only survivors. Ren and Nora themselves don't appear in the present-day storyline until the end of the episode once their flashback story has been told... having accidentally come across the trail of the creature that destroyed Kuroyuri, just as its about to destroy a different village.

The text adventure game Spider and Web is known primarily for its ingenious framing device, wherein the player is a spy who has been captured and is being interrogated using a machine that causes them to relive their actions. If the player ever strays too far from the correct path, the interrogator interrupts them and says, "That's impossible, that's not how it happened" and makes you try again. He also presents you with various items found on your person, or demands you explain certain actions you took, allowing you to use them in the gameplay. During the flashbacks, you happen to set up your escape route. When you use it, the framing device is dropped and you complete the rest of the game in the "present".

House of Leaves takes this trope to Mind Screw levels. It's about a supernatural house, which is documented by the house's owner, Navidson. The documentary is described in a massive, incomplete essay by Zampano. The essay is edited and commented upon by Johnny Truant, who also relays his own story in the footnotes. Truant's story is commented upon by the book's editors. There's a lot of Unreliable Narrator to be had all around.

Final Fantasy XIV does the same thing with the Heavensward expansion without Matsuno, but perhaps inspired by him. Specifically, every new zone the player enters triggers a cutscene with narration taken from the memoirs of Count Edmont de Fortemps, the player's main ally in Ishgard. Stormblood uses a similar framing device, with every new area triggering a cutscene with narration from the expansion's Deuteragonist Lyse.

In Gotham Academy, the Endgame tie-in and the Yearbook storyline both feature a premise involving the main characters telling stories. In the former, the students are housed together following a power outage caused by the Joker's Endgame, so naturally the main characters take the chance to share Joker-themed ghost stories while the main plot is explored. In Yearbook, Maps is comforted by Olive when her idea for a yearbook club is rejected, leading to a multitude of side-stories featuring (mis)adventures several of the Academy cast had undertaken, all removed from the main plot of the entire book.

The story occasionally returns to the present day as Sae clarifies the Protagonist's story and leads him into the next part, Confidants are framed as Sae pressing the Protagonist to talk about the accomplices and skills that he must have had, and running out of time to complete the heist is framed as the Protagonist being too addled by the drugs used on him to properly remember events before being murdered by one of the conspirators he was fighting against. When the story catches up to the present day, the device is dropped entirely.

300 uses this coupled with Unreliable Narrator and possibly a kind of unreliable listener, as the events depicted in the Flashbacks are very over the top. The story is told by the sole surviving member of Leonidas' 300 Spartans, who was sent back to Sparta to tell the tale before the Final Battle. At the beginning we see him telling the story at a campfire before a group of Spartans, missing an eye (which he still has in the flashbacks). At the end we find he was telling it to inspire his men before the Battle of Plataea.

The epilogue voiceover for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots strongly suggests that the Metal Gear series was created by Otacon to tell Snake's story. Otacon could be thinking of writing a book, but video games are the perfect medium for an Otaku and Gadgeteer Genius. Also, Hideo Kojima looks a bit like Otacon if you squint.

Early Caillou episodes start with a grandmother offering to tell her kids a Caillou story related to a problem they're having. note  For example, in "Caillou's Friends", her grandson complains that his friends haven't come over to play with him. Later episodes ditched this beginning though.
Earlier episodes of the version aired on PBS Kids showed segments involving Caillou's cat Gilbert and his toys Rexy and Teddy doing activities related to a theme that tied the three shorts in the episode together.

Assassin's Creed: Revelations makes the framing device recursive by having Ezio (the Renaissance-era ancestor) use First Civilization artifacts to experience memory-recordings left by Altaïr (the Crusades-era ancestor), thus crossing over the bloodlines since Ezio was not Altaïr's descendant. So you're playing a character experiencing the memories of a character who is himself experiencing the memories of a character.

A show named The Noddy Shop framed episodes of the BBC's stop motion Noddy's Toyland Adventures series as being stories Kate, one of the child characters, told to her brother Truman and her friend DJ while they were in the Book Nook of the titular shop.
In Korea, a variety show show called Hello Noddy, starring a group of live-action kids and costumed actors of Noddy, Tessie Bear, Martha Monkey and Sly, was the Framing Device for one of the 90's Noddy series. However, due to there being a significant lack of information on the series, it is unknown if it was a framing device for Noddy's Toyland Adventures or if it was one for a Korean Noddy Shop dub.

Barbie Presents Thumbelina is the last to use this setup.

Certain episodes of Dora the Explorer are stories or flashbacks told by Dora. The viewer interaction even takes place in the story.
The episodes "Backpack" and "Dora's First Trip" are flashbacks narrated by Dora about how she first got Backpack in the former, and how she became an explorer and met her animal friends in the latter.
"What Happens Next?" has Dora and Boots imagining their own adventure that occurs after the end of a fairytale.
"Dora's Dance to the Rescue" is really a flashback to an earlier time told by Dora at the beginning of the episode. The trailers completely avoided showing this.
The trilogy of "Super Babies" episodes feature Dora telling a story that her twin baby siblings are superheroes.
"Catch the Babies" is framed by Dora telling the silly but true story to her family.
"Dora's Christmas Carol Adventure" is framed by Santa Clause telling the story to his elves at the North Pole.

Avatar: The Last Airbender: "The Storm" has two simultaneous frame stories: Aang tells Katara of his days with the Air Nomads and when he learned he was the Avatar, and Iroh tells his ship's crew the story of why Zuko was banished.
Additionally, in "The Avatar And The Fire Lord" Avatar Roku visits Aang in his dreams; at the same time Zuko read old scrolls written by Fire Lord Sozin. These are used to frame the story of Roku and Sozin's lives and relationship.

The French sci-fi writer François Bordes with at least two of his novels (under the pen name Francis Carsac) using this trope: in Terre en fuite (Fleeing Earth), the protagonist is reading the diary left to him by his late friend Paul Dupont, who explains that he is, in fact, a man named Haurk Akéran from the distant future, who gives a brief overview of the fall of humanity and the rebirth of civilization after several ice ages, as well as his own story and the part he plays in in the events that lead to Earth and Venus being moved to another star system; in Les Robinsons du Cosmos (The Robinsons of the Cosmos), the Framing Device is an old man telling the story of how he ended up on an alien planet to his grandchildren, as well as the formation of the human civilization there.

Borderlands:
In Borderlands 2's fourth DLC, Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, is presented as the vault hunters sitting down at a table and playing a game of Bunkers & Badasses. Just about every joke you could crack about this subject is made.
The story of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! is set up as Athena being interrogated by Lilith about the events on Elpis and the rise of Handsome Jack. The New Game Plus is her retelling the story to Tiny Tina, who tells her to "make it sound more difficult" and adds in her own commentary.
Tales from the Borderlands is told by the two protagonists Rhys and Fiona, who are being interrogated by a mysterious bandit. The two occasionally make their own embellishments here and there and offer their own differing perspectives on the story.

Halo:
Halo: Reach is a rather interesting variation on this. The Limited/Legendary Edition comes with various in-universe documents, one of which states that the game itself is an in-universe interactive record.
Halo 2: Anniversary adds new introductory and ending cutscenes that frame Halo 2 as the Arbiter recounting the events of the game to Spartan Locke during the events of the then-upcoming Halo 5: Guardians. For reasons not fully known, these scenes were removed in a future version of the game, ultimately making it an aversion.

Steven Universe primarily, but not always, uses this for its Whole-Episode Flashbacks.
"An Indirect Kiss" starts of with Connie and a downcast Steven having a picnic, and Connie persuades him to tell her about the events of the episode, explaining why he's so upset.
"Garnet's Universe" has Steven make up a story about how he thinks a recent mission Garnet was on went.
"Story for Steven", "We Need to Talk" and "Greg the Babysitter" involve Greg telling Steven about his and Rose's relationship. "Three Gems and a Baby" has Greg and the Gems tell Steven about something that happened when he was a baby.

None Shall Escape is a 1944 film about a trial against a Nazi officer following the end of the then-ongoing second world war, told via flashbacks from the points of view of the witnesses at the trial.

The Black Stork begins with a geneticist explaining to his daughter's suitor why he can't have her until he's undergone a thorough physical examination to ensure that he's genetically fit. To illustrate his point, he takes the suitor on a tour of some institutions, then tells him the sad story of his old friend Claude Leffingwell and his defective child, which takes up most of the movie.

Mafia's story is told by the main character as he describes his time in the mafia to the chief of police.
Mafia III is framed as an in-universe documentary/investigation regarding the events of Lincoln's war against the Marcano family as well as Lincoln's CIA friend Donovan's trial for his involvement. Getting a Non-Standard Game Over by failing mission objectives leads to the FBI agent investigating the case to say that Lincoln failed and died (or in the case of the prologue he looks at the case files in confusion).

The film would go on to reveal that Xiang Rong ends up becoming a mob enforcer, his friend Gen Lai is a cop, and Xiang Rong is being taken into custody by his bestie after murdering his former boss, with the final scene providing an additional Reveal Shot not shown in the opening: Xiang is handcuffed to his best friend.

Persona:
The story mode of Persona 4: Dancing All Night is framed as Margaret telling a tale about one of the Investigation Team's adventures to an unseen person (implied to be the player) who visits the Velvet Room in a dream.
The majority of Persona 5 is told in a How We Got Here format, with the Protagonist being interrogated by public prosecutor Sae Nijima about the events that started 6 months ago that led to the Protagonist and his friends becoming infamous Phantom Thieves. The story occasionally returns to the present day as Sae clarifies the Protagonist's story and leads him into the next part, Confidants are framed as Sae pressing the Protagonist to talk about the accomplices and skills that he must have had, and running out of time to complete the heist is framed as the Protagonist being too addled by the drugs used on him to properly remember events before being murdered by one of the conspirators he was fighting against. When the story catches up to the present day, the device is dropped entirely.

The letters between the Director and the Chairman in Red vs. Blue: Reconstruction run parallel to the main plot and serve to put the central conflict in the context of the larger world the characters exist in.

The Kim Possible episode "Rewriting History" has a story of Kim's great-grandmother (who vanished in disgrace at the start of the century), which is framed by Kim uncovering what really happened, while her Arch-Enemy Dr. Drakken chases his own ancestor's involvement in the same events, piling up into Generation Xerox and Contrived Coincidence and ending as All Just a Dream.

Batman: The Animated Series:
"Showdown" is a Jonah Hex story set in 1883, presented as a recording left by Ra's al Ghul for Batman explaining his reasons for abducting Arkady Duvall from a rest home.
"Almost Got 'Im" has another framing device in the form of a card game played between the Joker, the Penguin, Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, and Two-Face. They tell stories of times they came close to killing Batman but failed as they play.
"Legends of the Dark Knight" has three kids telling stories about what they see Batman as, told in different styles throughout the caped crusaders comic career, ranging from the campy 50s to the grungy 80s era of Frank Miller.

Animorphs does this with all of the Chronicles spin-offs. The Andalite Chronicles is presented as Elfangor's last testament (known by Andalites as a hirac delest), given in the final moments of his life. The Hork-Bajir Chronicles is framed as a story Jara Hamee is telling Tobias. Visser has, by far, the most in-depth one, switching back and forth between Visser One's memories and her present-day trial. Finally, The Ellimist Chronicles is narrated to a then-unnamed dying Animorph, indicating that at least one of them will die.

Mafia III is framed as an in-universe documentary/investigation regarding the events of Lincoln's war against the Marcano family as well as Lincoln's CIA friend Donovan's trial for his involvement. Getting a Non-Standard Game Over by failing mission objectives leads to the FBI agent investigating the case to say that Lincoln failed and died (or in the case of the prologue he looks at the case files in confusion).

1915 silent film The Italian includes a seemingly pointless framing device in which lead actor George Beban, playing himself, is reading a novel called The Italian. Then the story proper, with Beban playing the lead character, begins. The film ends with Beban-as-Beban finishing the book.

In Bob's Burgers, framing devices are often used to set up stories told by the three kids.
"The Frond Files": The kids write three stories for a school exhibition, but Frond says they are "inappropriate" and refuses to display them. When Bob and Linda ask why they are "inappropriate," he reads the stories to them.
"The Gayle Tales": To get out early from grounding, the kids have to come up with stories about Aunt Gayle.
"Sliding Bobs": The kids wonder how Linda an Bob's first meeting would go down if Bob didn't have a mustache.
"Mom, Lies and Videotape": After failing to record the the kids' Mother's Day performances, Louise, Gene and Tina come up with completely fictional and improved versions of their crappy plays to Linda.
"Bed, Bob and Beyond": After watching part of a movie, the kids take turns telling what they imagine happens next, hoping to improve Bob and Linda's moods, and thus get out of trouble.
"The Handyman Can": The kids take turns telling Teddy stories to restore his confidence in his handyman abilities.
"Diarrhea of a Poopy Kid": Louise, Tina and Bob take turns comforting a sick and bathroom-ridden Gene on Thanksgiving.

One Thousand and One Nights is a collection of Arabic folktales connected by a framing device. Shahryar has decided to marry (and execute) a new woman each day. His newest wife, Scheherazade, prolongs her own life by telling her murderous husband fantastical stories, each of which ends with a promise of an even more amazing tale. Some of Scheherazade's stories are framing stories themselves; One Thousand and One Nights contains triple- and quadruple-nested framing devices. This made it dead easy for the Nights to be expanded with supplemental material over the course of its many editions.

Assassin's Creed III: Liberation and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag take this a step further by postulating that Abstergo has formed an entertainment division dedicated to bringing Animus technology to the mass-market in the form of video games and movies, providing streamlined and carefully edited excerpts from the memory-sequences that are researched in their labs. As a meta-joke, the company they hire to deliver these products is Ubisoft, the developer of the real franchise, and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag contains multiple in-jokes and Fandom Nods as a result.

Deadtime Stories does this to remind the younger viewers that no matter how scary the events may be, it's just a story. The show has a babysitter show up and read two kids a "deadtime story". During the story, it occasionally stops so the babysitter and kids can talk to each other about it. Near the end of every episode, the babysitter tells the kids to "buckle your seatbelts, because you're in for a bumpy ride", as the show switches back to the story being told and the inevitable Cruel Twist Ending, which results in the characters in the story, and the kids being read the story back in the real world, both screaming at each other.

Final Fantasy:
Final Fantasy Tactics (also by Yasumi Matsuno) is the retelling of the contents of the Durai Papers, the chronicle of the true history of Ivalice during the War of the Lions. Banned by the Glabados Church, and their author, Orran Durai, burned for heresy, they were uncovered centuries later by Orran's descendant Arazlam, who published them to reveal the truth behind the Zodiac Braves and King Delita's rise to the throne.
And for the Yasumi Matsuno hat trick, Final Fantasy XII is narrated by Marquis Halim Ondore IV, uncle of Princess and later Queen Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca, from his own memoir.
Final Fantasy XIV does the same thing with the Heavensward expansion without Matsuno, but perhaps inspired by him. Specifically, every new zone the player enters triggers a cutscene with narration taken from the memoirs of Count Edmont de Fortemps, the player's main ally in Ishgard. Stormblood uses a similar framing device, with every new area triggering a cutscene with narration from the expansion's Deuteragonist Lyse.

VeggieTales is framed by segments involving Bob and Larry reading children's letters on a countertop that usually related to the episode's theme. When the show was broadcast on TV on NBC, these segments were replaced by ones that took place at Bob's house. In Brazil, the show had another spin-off series called Os Amigos Vegetais involving costumed character versions of the VeggieTales cast playing in their house in between the stories, and it also included little segments where the characters toured different places.
VeggieTales in the House is the only piece of the franchise that does not use a framing device.

The main installments of the Twice Upon an Age series are presented as being adapted from the official Chantry historical record concerning the Second Inquisition of Thedas. The author is a "Chantry scholar" turning the formal records into a story, assisted by her editor, Varric Tethras. There are also a few side volumes which have their own related but separate framing devices.

The Third Saturday In October Part V is a 2022 film presented as the fifth installment of a cheap series of Halloween rip-offs that was released in 1994. An Opening Scroll explains this. The first original film, The Third Saturday In October Part I, was defictionalized as a sequel, released in 2023 but purported to be originally released in 1979.

UnMetal opens with protagonist Jesse Fox escaping in the helicopter and getting shot down by Allied forces before being taken prisoner and being interrogated, whereupon he relays the events of the game. And this even turns out to be a story within a story, as he's telling his girlfriend about the events of the interrogation after his release. Or maybe not, since it's implied he's making the whole thing up.

The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald was a series of animated videos, each one having wraparound segments of a live-action Ronald McDonald, who interacts with an animatronic suit of his dog Sundae as well as monitors displaying CGI animations of Tika, Grimace, Hamburglar and Birdie before undergoing a Toon Transformation to transition to the animated portion for the first three videos, while the later three instead had Ronald already having experienced the video's adventure before starting a projector to play the animated portion and eschewed the interactions with other characters aside from Sundae's voice being heard from off-screen in "Visitors from Outer Space" and "The Monster O'McDonaldland Loch".

Each episode of The Magnus Archives (with a few exceptions) takes the form of Jonathan, the archivist, making a recording of himself reading an old statement about an alleged supernatural encounter from the Institute's archive, or occasionally recording someone else making a new statement, and adding his own comments at the end. Thus the listener gets a different narrator's story each time, but always (or mostly) via one overarching narrator.

Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. The idea behind the game is that our hero is telling stories about his past as a Bounty Hunter to the other patrons in a bar. However, our hero gets more and more drunk over the course of the game, and he starts exaggerating parts of his story, and eventually starts outright lying and making stuff up. He isn't quite as drunk as he makes himself out to be, though, and he has a reason to be lying. Interestingly, this actually affects the gameplay. Parts of the scenery and setting change as our hero points out things he didn't mention before, realizes that he isn't remembering what happened correctly, and, amusingly, when the other bar patrons misinterpret what he's saying or jump to conclusions about what happened next.

Special episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants used segments involving Patchy the Pirate as this to the actual episodes themselves, like "Party Pooper Pants" and "Truth or Square?". These became less and less in the newer seasons.
"Missing Identity" is framed by SpongeBob recounting the episode in a diner one rainy night.
The episode "The Bad Guy Club For Villains" is framed by segments showing SpongeBob and Patrick watching an episode of Mermaid Man And Barnacle Boy.
"Friend or Foe" consists of a series of flashbacks told by Mr. Krabs and Plankton (and later Karen), about the time they used to be friends as children until an argument over their own recipe caused the two to drift apart.
"Pull Up a Barrel" is framed by Mr. Krabs telling a story to SpongeBob and Squidward about his time in the Navy.
"SpongeBob's Runaway Roadtrip" aka the vacation miniseries, are recalled by the character having the respective vacation presenting a slideshow to their friends.
"Swamp Mates" is a story narrated by SpongeBob to Gary in his library.

The 1934 version of The Age of Innocence starts in the 1930's, with an elderly Newland Archer telling the story to his grandson. Cut to the outside of their car as the car wheel turns into a carriage wheel and we're transported to the 1870's for the bulk of the story. At the conclusion, the carriage wheel turns back into a car wheel as Newland finishes telling the story as they arrive at the home of Countess Olenska.

Redaction of the Golden Witch is presented as a critical analysis of an unpopular Forgery based off the events of Umineko: When They Cry. The author personally believes that the reason this particular Forgery breaks from established storytelling patterns is because it's actually a confession related to another incident that occurred on the island in 1996.

Several episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic make use of various framing devices.
"Hearth's Warming Eve" has the ponies putting on a play about the origins of Equestria, with the cast appearing as the historical characters portrayed.
"A Hearth's Warming Tale" has Twilight reading a story to Starlight Glimmer, again putting the show's regular cast into the roles of characters in the story.
"The Saddle Row Review" is a Nested Story where the cast are reading a newspaper article about the opening of Rarity's new boutique, where each pony was interviewed about the problems they encountered; the events themselves are shown as individual flashbacks framed by interview segments.
"P.P.O.V." is a "Rashomon"-Style episode where the framing device is Twilight trying to find out from Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Rarity what happened on their boat trip that caused them to end up angry at each other.
"Where the Apple Lies" has Applejack telling the story of how, as a filly, she told a small lie that spun out of control and ended up with the whole family in hospital.
"The Perfect Pear" is about the Apple siblings learning how their parents fell in love.
"Campfire Tales" is just that: a series of campfire tales told around a framing device of a camping trip.
"The Big Mac Question" is framed by a series of Confession Cams where Spike, Discord, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders recall to Applejack what happened when preparing for Big Mac and Sugar Bell's proposal.
The Grand Finale "The Last Problem" features the grown-up Twilight recall to her student Luster Dawn the day she moved back to Canterlot and became the new ruler of Equestria.

Doctor Who has experimented with them on occasion:
The season-spanning "The Trial of a Time Lord", where three complete four-part stories were presented as evidence in the Doctor's trial.
"Love & Monsters" is framed as Elton Pope recounting the story of his encounters with the Doctor on camera. However, he's an Unreliable Narrator, so his tale can't be taken at face value.
"A Town Called Mercy" begins and ends with a woman narrating how her great-grandmother, the little girl seen at several points in the episode, witnessed the events.
"Hell Bent" is framed as the Doctor telling a waitress at a diner in Nevada (Clara Oswald) the story of the episode. It also pulls a Bait-and-Switch, as it initially seems that the Doctor is telling either an amnesiac Clara, or maybe one of her echoes, the story of the events. At the end, it turns out that the Doctor is the one who doesn't remember, as he had to get Laser-Guided Amnesia for his own sanity. And the diner is a TARDIS.
"Extremis": The frame is the real Doctor watching the memory-print emailed to him by the simulated Doctor of the last several hours of the most recent simulation run by the Prophets of Truth in preparation for their planned invasion of Earth.
"The Woman Who Fell to Earth": With the exception of the denouement, the episode is framed by a video Ryan uploaded to YouTube recounting the events that led to his grandmother Grace's death.

Encounter With Tiber, by Buzz Aldrin (yes, Apollo 11 Buzz Aldrin) and John Barnes, uses the framing device of a scientist who writes novels. She's selected to be on the first manned voyage to another star. Because of the length of the trip, she has time to write four novels (well, two novels and two translations of existing novels), which together explain how humanity was contacted by an alien race and developed the technology for interstellar travel.

Anthony Bourdain's Hungry Ghosts: The premise involves a wealthy Russian billionaire hosting a banquet for his rich friends in New York. After dinner is finished, the guests and the billionare's disgruntled kitchen staff play Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai, a Japanese parlor game where they all tell horror stories by a mirror and one-hundred candles, blowing out a candle for every finished story.

Baccano! uses this both in the anime and the first of the Light Novels, though in different ways. The anime starts with the Vice President of the Daily Days and his young assistant trying to make sense the bizarre history of the last three years. The book starts with the conta è oro of the Martillo family eventually revealed to be Firo rather than the assumed Maiza relaying the 1930 story to a Japanese tourist in the present.

The original Escape from Butcher Bay opened with Riddick during his years on the ice planet he was hiding on at the start of The Chronicles of Riddick (2004). The Furyan woman in his visions tells him to remember his past, and what happened in Butcher Bay. Then the rest of the game begins, which is actually one long flashback. At the end Riddick awakens and is told of his destiny, and sees visions of the Necromongers. The framing story was dropped in the 2009 remake to better connect it to Assault on Dark Athena, its immediate successor in the chronology.

Final Fantasy Tactics (also by Yasumi Matsuno) is the retelling of the contents of the Durai Papers, the chronicle of the true history of Ivalice during the War of the Lions. Banned by the Glabados Church, and their author, Orran Durai, burned for heresy, they were uncovered centuries later by Orran's descendant Arazlam, who published them to reveal the truth behind the Zodiac Braves and King Delita's rise to the throne.

The Golden Girls had several episodes constructed of three or four shorter stories, always framed by the girls recalling events fitting a particular theme. (For example, in one episode the girls are dieting, and they recall past attempts at self-improvement.) The show also did several clip shows, in which the framing device was usually a time of crisis, such as Blanche considering selling the house.

Aladdin begins with a peddler selling a magic lamp and proceeding to tell the story of the fortune it brought its previous owner. The third film, Aladdin and the King of Thieves, ends with the same peddler bidding the viewers farewell with a reprise of Aladdin's opening song, "Arabian Nights". One of the proposed endings of the framing device in the first film was revealing that the peddler was in fact the Genie, which explains why only these two are four-fingered when everyone else is five: because they were the same character. It also explains why the peddler has the lamp, as obviously Aladdin wouldn't have sold or thrown away a memento of his best friend.

The Sandman (1989) uses this a few times, most notably in the "World's End" arc, which features a framing device of characters swapping stories in an Inn Between the Worlds. Often, those stories are themselves framing devices for more stories. In places, it nests at least four framing devices deep.
The current House of Mystery uses the same framing device.

The Longest Journey starts with an old woman named Lady Alvane being asked to tell a story to two children. Instead of the one they asked her, she tells them the story of April Ryan. At the end of the game, Lady Alvane finishes her story, and the children leave. Then the old Crow walks in to talk to the old woman.

The Warrior Cats guidebooks Code of the Clans and Battles of the Clans are framed as the reader being a cat that visits the Clans, with the beginning and ending, and a few chapters inside the book, set up this way. In Code, Leafpool tells them stories about the warrior code, and in Battles, they visit all four Clans and attend a Gathering, not only listening to stories told by cats, but also being visited by deceased warriors in their dreams for stories that the current Clans couldn't possibly know.

Gossip Girl is told from the perspective of a semi-omniscient gossip blogger. What makes this unique is said blogger is an actual (albeit anonymous) character, and the rest of the cast is fully aware of the fact that she is telling the world all about their lives with much of the story conflict revolving around keeping her from knowing too much.

Conan the Barbarian by Dark Horse Comics. The actual stories are framed by the tale of an Eastern Prince of a less ancient (but still pre-Gutenberg) era that discovers the Nemedian Chronicles (maybe the "Know, o Prince" line gave them the idea). The one reading the tales of Conan to the Prince (who cannot read) is his vizier, a wizened old man dressed in Stygian garb...

Joseph Conrad's stories Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim both employ this: the former having the story told by Marlow to a group of people on a boat, the latter having the story told once again by Marlow first at a dinner party, then later through a letter. The second example is notable in that Marlow's recollections are mixed in with those of other people telling Marlow the details of Jim's various misadventures, which fits into the book's themes involving unreliable narrators.

One episode of Angry Beavers had the gang playing "Storyteller" (a game where the players tell part of a story for a few minutes and the next player has to go off of that) on a camping trip. Each participants "chapter" is accompanied by an Art Shift as well. It had something to do with a pair of spies capturing a Cloaking Device inexplicably shaped like a cocktail weenie and the rules were that each player's chapter had to pertain to the heroes or the antagonists (much to the annoyance of Winslow, who only cares about a truck driver in an 18-wheeler). Notably, Treeflower turns the whole story into a Magical Girl Anime.

A particularly ingenious version of this is used in Martian Successor Nadesico, in an inversion of its Show Within a Show relationship with Gekiganger 3 — it airs as an episode of Gekiganger in which its characters are watching Nadesico. It manages to lampshade the Recap Episode when one of the Gekiganger characters complains that nothing new happens in them, and it's an excuse for the production company to take a break. The Gekiganger OVA meanwhile, has a framing device of the Nadesico cast, after the end of the series, watching the Gekiganger movie in a theater.

Sherlock Holmes:
The novels A Study in Scarlet and The Valley of Fear use the stories of Holmes solving a mystery as frames for the perpetrators telling their stories of why they done it.
Similarly, Holmes's investigation in the short story "The Crooked Man" is a Framing Device for a story about a soldier in India, and his involvement in "The Adventure of the Gloria Scott" is entirely incidental.

The Bottom of the Well is basically a conversation between the protagonist, Alice, and one of her online friends. She describes a strange dream she had of her future, which was remarkably realistic and long-lasting. However, the framing story is played with — after multiple playthroughs (which the game is designed for), Alice gets the feeling that she's already told the story. Towards the end, the framing story becomes recursive — the Alice in the dream also had the dream (and had dreamt of a future self who had dreamt of a future self who had... etc...).

Assassin's Creed:
The franchise is framed around the idea that a modern-day MegaCorp has developed technology (reverse-engineered from the leavings of an ancient civilization) that allows Genetic Memory to be experienced in real-time and recorded. Thus, you play as a character who is reliving the lives of his ancestors (or other people's ancestors). This justifies the use of Gameplay and Story Segregation in the Animus portions of the game, since you are "playing" it through a VR interface that simplifies the memory-reality.
Assassin's Creed: Revelations makes the framing device recursive by having Ezio (the Renaissance-era ancestor) use First Civilization artifacts to experience memory-recordings left by Altaïr (the Crusades-era ancestor), thus crossing over the bloodlines since Ezio was not Altaïr's descendant. So you're playing a character experiencing the memories of a character who is himself experiencing the memories of a character.
Assassin's Creed III: Liberation and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag take this a step further by postulating that Abstergo has formed an entertainment division dedicated to bringing Animus technology to the mass-market in the form of video games and movies, providing streamlined and carefully edited excerpts from the memory-sequences that are researched in their labs. As a meta-joke, the company they hire to deliver these products is Ubisoft, the developer of the real franchise, and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag contains multiple in-jokes and Fandom Nods as a result.

The second part of YU+ME: dream is apparently a story being read by Don, sometime after Fiona and Lia leave the Dream World to reincarnate and find each other again on Earth.
And Don, the current Dream King, was given the position by technically "killing" Fiona through sending her back, since ownership of Nod works via Klingon Promotion and she took the title from Sadako..

Catherine:
The whole game is presented as an episode of the show The Golden Playhouse, with your hostess, Trisha: The Midnight Venus. It plays out as if it's a TV series that shows late night movies, complete with opening and closing narration by Trisha. There's even a watermark in the corner of some cutscenes.
The game is an unusual example in that it is a framing device within a framing device. The Golden Playhouse segment of the game which is styled after a late night TV show, is actually a means devised by Trisha (who is actually Ishtar: The Goddess of Love, using an anagram of her true name) of finding a person worthy enough to challenge Babel and become her new love partner, due to Dumuzid cheating on her.

The 2004 The Phantom of the Opera movie is told as several flashbacks of the now aged Raoul as he attends the Opera House auction, purchases the music box Christine was so fond of, and travels to the cemetery to place it on her grave.

The Doctor Who New Adventures Sherlock Holmes crossover All-Consuming Fire has a framing story of the Doctor and his companions reading The Adventure of the All-Consuming Fire by John Watson. Includes a few "that's not how I remember it happening" moments, as well as letting the author state that "Sherlock Holmes" and "John Watson" are pseudonyms invented to protect the privacy of the real Holmes and Watson without having to say what their real names were.

In The Iron Dream, we have a Science Fiction story by Adolf Hitler, a USA emigrant, followed by a Framing Device in-universe essay to explain the point of this story.
