| Hard-Work Montage | comment |
One or more characters is shown working hard at a particular task through a sequence of shots meant to imply time passing. This may often incorporate a signature piece of energetic or heroic music, or the characters themselves will sing as they work. This includes the A-Team Montage, "Everybody Helps Out" Denouement, the Training Montage, House-Hunting Montage, and any montage in which somebody does a lot of construction, communication, travel, martial arts training, or scouring many books and files. May be featured in the Forging Scene and other Creation Sequences. The joyful and optimistic strains of the Adventurous Irish Violins can often be heard in the background of such sequences, especially if the work is one from the Adventure Genre. |

The first Predator has two of them. Dutch's commando team works together to create a set of traps that they hope will catch the title opponent. Arnold gets another when he's subsequently left to face the Predator by himself. |

Spoofed in one episode of The Penguins of Madagascar, where they decide to fix a broken robot. After the montage, Skipper says, "Well, now that we fixed the coffee machine, let's get working on that robot." Also spoofed in another episode, where the penguins build a submarine. Then they realize they can't get the sub outside, so the montage runs in reverse as they dismantle it to rebuild it outside. |

Cowboy Bebop (2021). In "Venus Pop", Jet Black gets angry when Spike Spiegel goes off to do his own thing instead of helping hunt down the Mad Bomber. We get a montage of Jet doing a chemical analysis, reading the bomber's manifesto and pruning his bonsai tree. Later we find out the ship's computer did the analysis, while Jet only skimmed the manifesto and actually spent most of the time on his bonsai. | |

Done at least twice in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the notable first is in dual fashion as Charlie gets trained by Mac and Dennis to become an underground fighter, and Sweet Dee's montage at the gym training for an upcoming fight after she started using steroids. The second one is in the fifth season, when Charlie tries to teach Mac how to skate (featuring a short Rocky-like segment where Mac eats a whole drink of yolk before puking vehemently through Gilligan Cut.) | |

About halfway through the pilot episode of House of Mouse we get to see a montage of Donald Duck making an attempt to replace the sign near the entrance with one that reads "House of Duck," but instead he gets signs that end with words that rhyme with "duck." Toward the end of the montage, the sign is replaced with one that reads "House of Pancakes" before finally switching to the correct one. | |

Sonic Boom parodies this in at least two instances. In the first, the episode "Hedgehog Day" has Robotnik furiously going over all of the math he can think of in order to deduce how to end his "Groundhog Day" Loop. We see complex equations scroll across the air as he goes, only for him to turn and tell Cubot to stop messing with his hologram projector. Cubot shuts it off, and the floating equations go away. In a later episode, Battle of the Boy Bands, the group starts a montage to learn a dance routine which takes all of a few seconds. They decide to use the rest of their "montage time" to come up with a name, which proves far harder than learning to dance. It ends when calendar pages fly across the screen, implicating time passing, when in reality it's just Knuckles tearing apart the calendar for no logical reason. | |

In Sinfest, the trike feminists cut down the poles, start welding, and then do a lot of work indicated only by Sound Effects — followed by a night scene panel. (The last two hide their handiwork for the last panel.) | |

Spoofed in the final episode of Fighterpedia (a Two Best Friends Play spinoff). Woolie sees that he's scheduled to face the legendary Daigo in the very first round of the EVO fighting game tournament. This is followed by a montage of Daigo practicing the game and reading up on strategy, interspersed with scenes of Woolie sitting on his butt, eating junk food, and surfing the internet. | |

The Christmas special of Misfits opens with a montage showing the team hard at work in their lives beyond community service; because they're the Misfits, none of them seem to make any progress: Kelly is stuck picking up litter and getting mocked by passers-by; Nathan works as a Santa Claus with even less success; Simon trains in Parkour so he can eventually become Superhoodie, only to tumble off a one-story building and bounce off a dumpster, narrowly avoiding serious injury; even Curtis and Nikki aren't doing well, as their attempts to have sex in a pub bathroom end with Nikki accidentally teleporting herself away, leaving a very frustrated Curtis to go back to bartending. Alisha meanwhile, has gotten very interested in a sign advertising "Powers For Cash..." | |

Ultra Fast Pony: In the episode "Little Miss Montage", Rarity invokes her powers as "master of the montage" to finish making her friends' dresses in record time. The "Behind the scenes" bonus video subverts this. Series creator Wacarb promises to show viewers the process of creating an Ultra Fast Pony episode... and the montage shows Wacarb playing computer games, running around his house at random, and singing along with the radio. |

Occasionally used on The X-Files when agents Mulder and Scully needed to do some research on the case or had to investigate. "Squeeze": Mulder and Scully need to find something on Eugene Victor Tooms who Mulder believes is a mutant Serial Killer. They are shown to be going through the information for hours. All the find is an address of the investigating officer of his previous murders from 1933. "The Grotesque": Mulder goes to the library and studies about gargoyles. |

Top Gear (UK): Appears as well, in much the same spirit — usually in the context of something automotive, like prepping for a race or assembling a Caterham 7 kit car. Expect a lot of friendly (?) verbal repartee: the presenters quite like taking digs at each other. Ruthlessly parodied in the Bolivian Special, when the presenters pull a deliberate caricature of one of these showing them hacking their way through a rainforest; afterwards, Clarkson realizes that he left his cellphone back at the river and walks back to get it. That takes about twenty seconds. |

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: Friendship Games: Most of the "ACADECA" song, which covers the academics part of the Friendship Games, is under this form, showing the students competing with each other in chemistry, Home Ec, workshop, spelling, and mathematics. Legend of Everfree: Sunset Shimmer's solo song "Embrace the Magic" shows all the girls minus Twilight (who is absent) working on rebuilding the dock while coming to control their magic in the process. The song "Legend You Were Meant to Be" is both sung during the Crystal Gala, and shows the preparations for it (thus in the form of flashbacks), with clearing up the entrance of boulders, writing and sending the invitations, setting up the musical equipment, decorations and lights, preparing the food (or saving it from mishaps), etc. Though it is intercut by snapshots that fall instead into Good-Times Montage. |

Several montages throughout Chicken Run show the chickens building contraptions or digging tunnels for their escape attempts. The biggest one involves them constructing the "crate", or airplane, where every single chicken is working their rump off while sawing and hammering, intercut with Mr. Tweedy as he also repairs the damaged pie machine. | |

Cloud Atlas features one of these in the introduction to Somni-451's story, in which she explains her average working day at Papa Song's: it begins with the workers being forcibly awoken with drugs and it all goes downhill from there, with Sonmi and the other fabricants spending the next nineteen hours vending food, wiping down tables, binning garbage, and being sexually harassed by customers. At the end of the day, the Fabricants are given their evening meal in the form of a single soap-sac and then sent back to bed, set to do the whole thing all over again the following morning. | |

On SpongeBob SquarePants one such montage actually gets an introduction. In "Home Sweet Pineapple", when SpongeBob's pineapple get eaten by nematodes he and Patrick go through one of these to rebuild it. When the montage ends, the result is only large enough to fit on SpongeBob's head, then it falls apart. Also happens in "A Friendly Game," when SpongeBob and Patrick build their indoor mini-golf course. "What follows is a brief construction montage..." |

Legend of Everfree: Sunset Shimmer's solo song "Embrace the Magic" shows all the girls minus Twilight (who is absent) working on rebuilding the dock while coming to control their magic in the process. The song "Legend You Were Meant to Be" is both sung during the Crystal Gala, and shows the preparations for it (thus in the form of flashbacks), with clearing up the entrance of boulders, writing and sending the invitations, setting up the musical equipment, decorations and lights, preparing the food (or saving it from mishaps), etc. Though it is intercut by snapshots that fall instead into Good-Times Montage. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The episode "Winter Wrap-Up" uses two of these, one as a Crowd Song and another as the climax. "It's About Time" has a montage of the citizens of Ponyville disaster-proofing their town. There's another in "Apple Family Reunion" with the song "Raise This Barn", in which the Apple family raises their new barn. Yet another song version is done in "Castle Sweet Castle", showing Twilight's friends working hard to decorate her new home, only to show at the end that they've turned the place into a cluttered mess. There's later a reprise showing the five making another renovation: a chandelier fashioned from the root of Twilight's old tree home, adorned with gems containing her memories with them. Season 9's "The Summer Sun Setback" features this near the end, as Twilight, her friends, the princesses, all the ponies, and even Discord work together to undo all the disasters caused to Canterlot, in preparation for the last Summer Sun Celebration ever. |

CSI does this to show the characters doing the hard work of forensic investigation at the lab. In the episode "I Like to Watch", they do some Lampshade Hanging: Hodges looks forward to a certain test, as he thinks it will be good material for the documentary crew currently in the lab. Nick points out that the test takes six hours, to which Hodges remarks that "When they cut it together, it'll only take thirty seconds." It takes thirty seconds. | |

In the first episode of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Mighty Little Defenders, Weslie is given a montage where he cleans up the storehouse and Wolffy has one that runs concurrently where he puts General Wolf's stuff back into his suitcase. Both montages have several parts where they are shown at the same time in a way that gives the illusion of them being directly connected to each other, such as a split-screen that makes it look like Weslie is taking something out of a box and giving it to Wolffy to pack up. | |

South Park: Satirized in the episode "Asspen", with a montage song, played over... well, a montage. The lyrics of this song are pretty apt, but may not be appropriate to post here. The same song with minor lyric changes was later used in Team America: World Police. Another South Park montage, and more of a parody of CSI's montages. In "Cartman's Incredible Gift", the detective goes to killer's house and notices his wall of left hands, but dismisses it because they are palms down, while he looks at his left hand palms up. It does raise his suspicions, and under goes a CSI-like lab work (even forgetting half way through the scene, and where the music stop temporarily) to discover the equivalence between hands palms up and hands palms down. There was a montage set to The Monkees' "I'm a Believer" in which Randy and the boys raced to find a solution to the problem of farting and global warming, but it turned out to be All Just a Dream of Randy's and they had actually bared started. The end of "Goobacks" is another example. |

The Dropout Elizabeth makes the rounds at several venture capitalists' offices, presenting her concept of a revolutionary blood-testing machine. None of them show interest, as she has no working prototype, has yet to meet with pharmaceutical companies, and she dropped out of Stanford as a sophomore. Just before Elizabeth is to present the machine to Novartis in Switzerland, the prototype does not work. She and her team work through the night trying everything to fix it, with everybody contributing blood samples. Nothing they try (heating the machine, cooling the room, food wrappers) works. Finally, she has Rakesh rig the demo so that they call up the good reading they did get in the lab. |

Baumgartner Restoration: A bit downplayed as Baumgartner allows of time to show and explain the details of each step of the process, but still compresses days of painstaking restoration work into half an hour or so. | |

The Firefly episode "Ariel" has one of these as the crew prepare for their heist for that episode. It includes building a medical shuttle from ship parts found in a junk-yard, getting some med tech uniforms and learning medical jargon. | |

Family Guy: Spoofed in the episode "Don't Make Me Over", in which Peter and his buddies clean up the bar to an '80s beat. ...well, they make an effort, anyway. Spoofed in "Brian Goes Back to College" where Brian needs to study to pass an exam, so he and Stewie have a montage of ... jogging and lifting weights. When they realize there's only twenty minutes left till the test, Brian says, "Crap, all we've done is work out." Actually a spoof of the training montage from Rocky IV when the titular character trains in Siberia, complete with the same music and the odd farm implement training method. Also in "Wasted Talent", where Peter performs several complex science experiments involving lasers and such to figure out that 4-1=3. |

One is used to show a normal day's work at the bathhouse in Spirited Away, with Sen, of course, being completely outperformed by Lin and the other workers. It's set to a catchy beat actually called "Hard Work". | |

Swordfish featured one for hacking a bank's computer, which consisted of the protagonist sitting at a ridiculously pimped-out computer, hammering away at the keyboard and muttering semi-coherently to himself. Somehow it ended up being one of the better scenes. | |
