A montage that brings you inside the mind of a character going mad. Music is heard, which may be quiet at first, but steadily increasing in volume and cacophony. Characters from several scenes may be superimposed, with some of them repeating fragments of their lines over and over again, in the manner of a Madness Mantra. Bizarre sequences or surreal images may be used. This may be the time when the character goes Ax-Crazy and murders someone. Alternately, he may be screaming at the top of his voice, trying to drown out the chaos assaulting his imagination. Compare Black Bug Room. Compare also Through the Eyes of Madness, which takes a mad character's POV for a sustained amount of time. |

In the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode "Mac and Dennis Move to the Suburbs", one of these occurs as Mac and Dennis start to lose their minds over being completely unfit for suburban life, set to the tune of "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley. Highlights include Dennis screaming over traffic during his commute, Mac staring blankly while their dog begs for food, Dennis throwing a plate of macaroni and cheese onto the floor for no reason, and the two men losing their minds over a smoke alarm that keeps them awake at night. | |

Doctor Who. In "The God Complex" this is shown whenever the Victim of the Week is about to be devoured by the Monster of the Week, which turns their fear into faith which it then devours. Their mental state is shown by close-ups of them screaming and laughing in rapid succession. The words "Praise Him" also appear in various fonts. | |

In episode 4 of FLCL, Naota fears that his father is in a relationship with Haruko. When his father uses Haruko's catchphrase "mouth to mouth", he sees Haruko climbing out of his father's mouth dressed as a mouse and being mauled by a giant cat with large testes, interspersed with random clips of Haruko from earlier episodes, a voiceover of Haruko from the first episode, all over a soundtrack of indistinct whispering and a swelling distorted guitar track, eventually prompting Naota to beat his father with a baseball bat. Luckily, he's actually a robot. Unusually, Naota remains completely still through the entire scene - not even a hint of Ax Crazy (although probably lots of Heroic BSoD). | |
