Most music videos usually have the song play through uninterrupted while the band performs, quite possibly with a narrative that has nothing to do with the song. This is when the flow of the song, narrative or both are interrupted, usually by talking. Less charitably, kind of the MTV version of those annoying comedy sketches that hip-hop albums have between some tracks, but worse because they turn up in the middle of the video. They don't have to be funny, but they usually are in order to justify interrupting the audience's entertainment. Of course, they're not usually funny after the second or third time - and considering how often videos are replayed, that means they get old very, very quickly indeed. Sometimes these are put in as a deliberate pause or fake ending first and a piece of entertainment second, in which case they work similarly to Stop and Go or a Fake-Out Fade-Out. Compare Talky Bookends, which open and/or close the video instead of interrupting it. |

Metallica: The video for "One" contains several clips from a film version of Johnny Got His Gun between the vocal sections. This is justified, since the song is based on the book. This is also what is known as Sampling, and has been used frequently in audio-visual art. Their cover of "Turn the Page," where the video pauses for the protagonist to give a short interview excerpt. |

The video for the NateWantsToBattle song “Phantom� has one of these where a young magician sells his soul to the titular Phantom for magical powers. | |

In the "Stressed Out" video by Twenty One Pilots, the music stops for 10 seconds so Tyler and Josh can do their Secret Handshake. The song resumes once they're done. | |

One of the earliest ever examples of this is Michael Jackson's Thriller, which takes the trope to extremes. Compared to the album version of "Thriller," the song here is reshuffled, abridged and interrupted several times in service of this video's plot line. Likewise his 2001 video, You Rock My World. While there are two version of the video, a long drawn out one that has a longer narrative and a shorter one for broadcast which cuts out the opening. The song does stop for a bit in either version where Micheal and Chris Tucker are confronted by thugs sent by Marlon Brando and headed by Michael Madsen and Billy Drago leading to the two to call for some backup of their own and both sides sizing each other up before the song resumes. |

Cat Hairballs: Not so much mid video skit as mid vid dialogue, but the early-middle point of the song has Ren growing tired of what Stimpy has already hwarfed up for him. | |

Any hip-hop video with a cameo by John Witherspoon (Willy Jones from Friday, Grandad from The Boondocks) is pretty much guaranteed to include one of these. | |

P Diddy's "Bad Boy for Life" video features a short skit midway through in which neighbour Ben Stiller visits and unsuccessfully tries to intimidate him. This despite Mr Diddy's first name being "Puff". | |

Dr. Dre & Eminem's "Forgot About Dre" replaces a rather violent portion of Eminem's verse with it getting acted out - Slim drunkenly crashes his car into his next door neighbour's house, followed by a screaming match with her and her dog, and a fake news report in which Slim is interviewed as an innocent bystander to the arson, denying he had any role in it. | |

Rammstein: Partway through the video for "Zick Zack" (where the band play over-the-hill lounge singers with ludicrous amounts of plastic surgery), Till's surgery breaks down and his face starts to sag. While the bridge plays in the background, he rushes backstage and gets into a screaming argument with his plastic surgeon (Flake), before stapling and taping his face into position and running out for the last verse. | |
