A Smash Cut cut occurs without warning in the middle of a scene and transitions abruptly to another, and is often intended to give the audience a startl— Very often, it goes something like this: Can also be combined with Gilligan Cut, or Ironic Echo, though a Smash Cut is defined by the lack of warning that it is coming and the fact that it usually cuts someone off mid-sentence. It can be used effectively to create a Mood Whiplash. This is also a popular technique for going to credits, or for when someone wakes up from a Nightmare, so it often overlaps with Catapult Nightmare. Compare Ironic Echo Cut, Jump Cut, and Smash to Black. Overlaps with Interrupted by the End. Not to be confused with the Canadian movie Smash Cut. Compa— |

In Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog - a particularly bleak one and heartwrenching one at the very end that will have you desperately waiting for another scene. There isn't one. An earlier one is played for laughs, when Dr. Horrible details (on his video blog) his plan for his next big attack. He signs off, and we immediately cut to his next blog, showing him battered and bruised, where he explains that his list of viewers evidently includes Captain Hammer and the Los Angeles Police Department, and that he needs to be more careful about what he says on his blog in the future. |

Angel: "Over the Rainbow" had Wesley happily declare "We're winning!" during a battle. Smash Cut to the aftermath of the battle and the group tied up. There's a particularly good example in "A Hole in the World", which starts with a flashback to when Fred leaves her home and parents in Texas for LA. |

A subtle but effective one comes from No Country for Old Men. During Chigurh's confrontation with Carla Jean the scene cuts to Chigurh walking out of the house, then abruptly cuts mid-step to him in the car. The second cut is off time with what normal films would do with that type of cut (not even transitioning with the audio) so it throws the audience off. | |

Unable to think of one, he settles with "Beans, beans, the musical fruit / The more you eat, the more you toot...", before cutting to Bart being chased out by the class. |

Occasionally accompanies the more hopeless plans on Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Better Call Saul: To demonstrate the kind of schedule Kim has working the Mesa Verde case solo, we're shown her setting a timer for five minutes to take a nap in her car. The instant Kim seems to fall asleep, the scene jumps to her being awoken by the timer, without the camera changing position. This foreshadows a scene later in the season, after she's taken on even more work. A similar cut goes from her driving her car to the instant it impacts with a guard rail. | |

Malcolm in the Middle does this frequently. A notable occurrence was in an early episode at the school Francis goes to. He went up to a bunch of guys who acted like an organized cult and told them to stop harassing everyone, repeatedly saying "Just Stop." It cuts into Francis telling his roommate and bodyguard to "Just Stop Packing." as the roommate is packing his bags to leave for the weekend. Needless to say, the cult members start harassing Francis. Another example happens in Poker #2 when Hal is talking to his poker buddies about how love and trust are what keeps a relationship healthy, which cuts mid-sentence to Francis telling his friend Eric the same thing. It definitely goes steps towards showing that Hal and Francis have similar relationships with their wives. |

The ending of the "Extinct Walk-Around Characters" episode of Defunctland ends on this. Disney Dan catches onto one of Kevin's seeming obsessions with talking about a court case involving a Tigger actor that was accused of harassing a teenager and says he is not going to make a video detailing the various Tigger costumes just so Kevin can cover it. Of course, that ended up being exactly what Disney Dan did. | |

In Futurama, we have the producer's favorite smash cut ever from the episode "Put Your Head on My Shoulders": Another example happens right at the end of "How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back", when Zoidberg starts to sing his song and it smash cuts to the credits. We then hear Zoidberg sigh. Most of "Time Keeps On Slipping" is held together entirely by Smash Cuts, with the twist that the characters don't remember what happened in between. From Bender's Big Score: In "Proposition Infinity", Amy and Bender have a torrid and illegal romance. They spearhead a campaign to make robot/human relationships legal, and actually win. Amy says now they can openly have a serious, monogamous relationship. |

Apollo 13 does this with the news that Ken Mattingly, due to his being exposed to German measlesnote It's simply called "the measles" in-film, but the disease that was involved in real life was rubella, not rubeola would be kicked off the flight and replaced by Jack Swigert. We first see Swigert's reaction; his Big "YES!" is interrupted by Mattingly's shocked and distraught expression. | |

The Amazing World of Gumball: Half of the time when something explodes, the scene immediately cuts to the following scene, or the episode ends, as in the case of the episodes "The Watch", "The Boss", and "The Sucker". In "The Heart", Mr. Robinson types "How to Brainwash Kids" online. Cut to Rocky bailing him out of jail. It happens two more times - the second time it happens, he stalks Gumball and Darwin and brings them "more followers", and the next time when he accidentally violates 14 international peace agreements after getting out some of his old "toys" for them. |

Serenity: We cut from River being told to "lie down" to her having a needle shoved into her forehead in a lab. Joss admits on the commentary track that much of the camera work in the first few minutes, which includes several Smash Cuts and Hard Cuts, are designed to show River's fractured mental state, and by contrast when we first see the titular ship it's done in a Oner to establish a sense of safety. | |

Lawrence of Arabia has the title character trying to figure out how to help the Arabs do something to strike against the Ottoman Empire before the British army completely dismisses them as useless. One key Ottoman stronghold is Aqaba, but they have heavy artillery pointed at the seaside port, the only logical point of entry as on their other side is a large desert. When a child throws a rock at his back, Lawrence gets an idea. Another one earlier in the film; Lawrence, stationed in Cairo at the start of the film, has just been given his new mission and is contemplating a burning match. As he blows it out, the scene cuts immediately to the Arab desert. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: From the episode "Ponyville Confidential": Rarity, at Sugarcube Corner, is dismissing the idea that Sweetie Belle is the gossip columnist "Gabby Gums". "Owl's Well that Ends Well" has one of Twilight gently praising Spike as he sleeps to angrily confronting him about the astronomy book he accidentally burnt. In The Stinger of "Magic Duel", a mouthless Pinkie complains, then Twilight magically restores it. Pinkie opens her mouth to speak, but before she can, it cuts right to the closing credits. Done again in the final scene of "Princess Spike". After everyone helps fixed the bejeweled statue, someone foolishly gives him a bouquet of flowers from the Dragon Sneeze trees, which sets him off again, but right when he is about to destroy the statue once more, it cuts right to the end credits. |

Doctor Who: At the end of "Revelation of the Daleks", the Doctor is telling Peri where he'll take her for some peace and tranquility. "Doomsday": A newscaster warns people to stay in their homes for safety. Cut to Cybermen effortlessly breaking into a family's home to attack. "The Lazarus Experiment": "The biggest danger here is choking on an olive!" Immediately, enter the monstrous Lazarus! "Human Nature" begins with an Action Prologue of the Doctor and Martha fleeing into the TARDIS while being shot at, and after taking off, the Doctor discovers that their pursuers have the technology to follow them through time and space, leading him to make a decision. So he pulls a pocket watch out from under the console and tells Martha to take it because "This watch, Martha, this watch is–" cut to John Smith waking up from a dream in 1913. Lampshaded rather sinisterly in "Forest of the Dead", where Donna apparently lives in a computer-generated television reality, where these cuts actually happen with nothing in between. "Time Heist": When the Doctor picks up the TARDIS phone, the scene suddenly cuts to himself, Clara and two strangers all holding memory worms. This one is plot-relevant because a moment later we find out this is how they subjectively experienced it - they can't remember anything between picking up the phone and right now. "The Girl Who Died": When the Doctor decides to give the villagers he is training real swords, the scene cuts to the village being on fire. |
