Once Upon a Time, when bladders were smaller, attention spans were shorter, and people actually went to the theatre to see films instead of illegally streaming them off the Internet, there was a thing called an intermission. This was a time when people got out of their seats and walked around in the lobby talking with their fellow patrons of the arts and using the facilities. This broke up the pacing of a film and changed a monolith into something considered in smaller parts. During the intermissions themselves, it was common to show cartoons with catchy jingles enticing the audience to head to the lobby and buy themselves some refreshments. Especially at drive-in theaters, it was common to show a "double feature" of two separate movies (which might, or might not, have a shared theme) with a longish intermission between. See Grease in the Film section below for an in-universe sample. These days, intermissions are far less common, but that hasn't stopped them from popping up in all sorts of media, including a few where they don't even seem to make sense, such as webcomics. Films are still the most common source outside of live theatre though, especially Epic Movies. Notably, intermission is still standard practice in Bollywood, because Bollywood films have absurdly long running time by Hollywood standards (the average length is three hours), thanks to the existence of several lengthy musical numbers. The practice is so ingrained to the point that Indian theaters often force intermissions to films imported overseas, including Hollywood flicks that run for no longer than two hours. In Theatre, intermissions are still standard practice. They provide a break to let the stage crew change the set around. Also, theatrical productions tend to be relatively long, and also tend to frown heavily on people leaving and returning during the performance, so intermissions are much more of a biological necessity. (And actors need bathroom breaks, too.) There also an economic benefit, as theatres can make some sales at the bar and/or snack food stands (but the food and drinks have to be consumed outside of the auditorium). In other media, standards tend to be more lax. As almost all theatre productions involve intermissions, don't list one of them here unless it's particularly noteworthy. Lengthy concert performances by musicians or stand up comedians may also include an intermission, to give the performers a break and to allow for possible changes in the lineup. During the intermission, backup performers may provide light ambient music to entertain people who don't choose to leave their seats, but featured pieces will be reserved for when the show resumes. This trope exists in sports as well. American football and basketball have halftime. In American baseball, an intermission takes place in the middle of the seventh inning, and is referred to as the "seventh inning stretch". National Hockey League games usually have two intermissions of about 18 minutes each. If you're looking for the 2003 film, see here. |

Sleepless Domain: The comic usually has one or more Interstitial pages between each chapter. The content of these pages varies — they often include Anemone explaining details about the comic's world, televised interviews with the cast, flashbacks giving hints of backstory, and checking in on characters currently Out of Focus. | |

There is a 24 hour-long intermission between the two parts of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, for some reason. If you're travelling from elsewhere to see it, you're going to need to book a hotel for two nights. (Although more recent productions have apparently managed to reduce the intermission so that the first act is a matinèe and the second act is in the evening.) | |

The anthology series American Playhouse used a title card saying "Intermission" halfway through their longer episodes, complete with a voiceover saying that the production would return afterwards. One example is the 1991 filmed version of The Grapes of Wrath by Steppenwolf Theatre Company, starring the company's three founders, Gary Sinise, Terry Kinney, & Jeff Perry, along with Lois Smith. | |

Homestuck There's an intermission featuring the Midnight Crew and the Felt. Those who decided to skip said intermission don't realize they missed a whole bunch of plot-relevant stuff... Act 6 is made of multiple sub-Acts, each with an intermission in between - to the point that Act 6 Act 4 was a four-minute flash animation surrounded by Act 6 Intermission 3 and Act 6 Intermission 4, both of which are extremely long. |

Gettysburg came with an intermission, at least when it was shown in a theater. But then since it was planned as a four-hour, two-day TV Mini Series before they decided to show it in theaters...

In the Bugs Bunny cartoon "Hare Do," Bugs uses the INTERMISSION/CURTAIN sign to have the patrons run back and forth across Elmer Fudd, who is hunting him with his "Wabbit Detector".

Einstein on the Beach, which clocks in at around four and a half hours, doesn't have any. Theatergoers are invited to take breaks and return as they please. Part of the motivation for the "Knee-Plays" is to provide an opportunity to do this without missing the main performance. | |

There's a scene near the end of the stage musical version of The Producers where one of the characters recaps everything that's happened so far — including the intermission. There's also a scene where the two main characters walk in and find their office has been completely repainted; they ask their assistant when she had time to do that and she replies "during the intermission". | |

Quest for Glory II parodies this with an intermission during the off-screen brigand battle. During an extended cutscene, your desert caravan of perhaps twenty is assaulted by hundreds upon hundreds of bandits, and even the narration box comments that things look hopeless. Then, intermission! And when you finally hit the space bar to return to the game, the first thing you see is your hero standing apart a true mountain of dead people, and the caravan reduced to about 7. | |

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story has an intermission of sorts in the Lumbar Nook area. While Mario and Luigi are drilling into a protrusion in Bowser's spine, Toadsworth and Toadley have a conversation about taking things easy and slow. This is followed by the game encouraging the player to have a tea break, and that an alarm will sound once Bowser's back has been healed. This takes just over two minutes, but a cheat code can speed this up to a few seconds. | |

West Side Story had an intermission during its premiere, but later lost it for several decades' worth of theatrical and home video re-releases, since director Robert Wise felt it broke the tension. The film version switched the musical numbers "Officer Krupke" and "Cool" to avoid a fairly lighthearted song closely following Riff's death (which occurs very near the end of the first act in the stage version). Similarly, "I Feel Pretty" was shifted to an earlier spot in the film (necessitating a possibly unfortunate change in the lyrics) for similar reasons. | |
