A quirk of movies and TV shows where text is shown on screen, but doesn't stay on screen long enough for the audience to read it. It's not a subliminal message, and it's sometimes not even relevant to the plot, but you'll have to pause it to see what it says. Credits are often like this. Usually a form of Freeze-Frame Bonus. Often the text will mention something about how the people who took the time to freeze-frame the text and read it clearly have too much time on their hands. A common joke is for an advert to have contract small print or medical side-effects shown like this. Note that it's not just that you couldn't read it because you read slowly. It's that the director intentionally made it so you can't possibly read it in the time it's shown onscreen. Compare If You Can Read This. Examples |

One of the copyright warnings for the DVD of Fight Club flashes by in a moment. If you freeze it or take a screencap of it, it says "If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second of your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all who claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think everything you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told you should want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned.......Tyler."

Madoka makes frequent use of this, typically either in German or in the runes made up for the series. The messages are far too long, or move to fast, to read without freeze-framing (and then translating it, for those who don't speak German). The text ranges from spoilery warnings about the dangers ahead to quotes from Faust, the story from which Madoka draws heavily. During the battle with Walpurgisnacht, one of the missile launchers coming out of the water says SHAFT. Self advertisement, anyone? | |

A quarter way through the run of Count Duckula, a bogus credit would go by fleetingly, and usually a bad pun in regards to something in the episode. In an episode that dealt with a flight on a plane, the bogus credit was "Runway - Del Shannon." | |

Space Ghost Coast to Coast: During the "shoot a ray, and you get a word!" sequence in "Batmantis", Zorak tells Space Ghost to shoot the theory of evolution, and Space Ghost fires a shot that is accompanied by three paragraphs of text humorously explaining Darwin's theory of evolution... which only remains on the screen for about a second. "The Justice Hole" ends with "Stand By For Super Credits", and the entire credits scroll by in less than a second. |

The Simpsons: One of the most notable examples was in the episode "Homer Badman", where Homer is accused of sexual harassment. A tabloid news program covers this and makes Homer look bad, but eventually corrects their story, listing it alongside a long, unreadably-fast list of other corrections including lines such as "The people who are writing this have no life.", "If you are reading this, you have no life.", and "Licking an electrical outlet will not turn you into a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger." (More under "Freeze Frame Fun".) And in the episode "Bart's Comet" where the eponymous comet is headed straight for Springfield: Yes, all of this scrolls really fast. And yes, they are the names of people who worked on the show. And in "Two Bad Neighbors" when Bart shreds Bush Senior's memoirs: a scrap of paper flits past the screen with the words "VP Dan Quayle" and "embarrassment." Used in "The Simpsons' 138th Episode Spectacular": The credits for The Itchy & Scratchy Show as seen in "The Front" is done in this manner. Another Itchy & Scratchy-related example in "The Ten-Per-Cent Solution" as the offscreen epilogue of one short: |

Ikaruga has sorts of proverbs at the start of each level that stay on screen for only a very short time, and it's unlikely the player will be able to read all of it. Pausing the game (at least in the PC version) doesn't help much because the pause menu obscures some of the text. | |

Dirty Pair In episode 1, a computer monitor briefly displays names of cast members of Star Trek: The Original Series. In episode 7, there is a brief shot of a control panel. The text on the buttons consists of musical references, especially to the band Emerson, Lake & Palmer. In episode 5, a computer screen shows what's supposed to be a list of people associated with the Criados space station, but it's actually a list of famous musicians (including Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, etc.) |

In Linkara's review of The New Guardians #2, he mocks the "genetically superior beings" concept of the comic using a clip of Adolf Hitler ranting. The second time he uses the clip, a piece of text pops up the split second before resuming the review.

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Evangelion shows a paper with a very detailed description of the 2nd impact for only a second or so. There's a lot of this in episode 22 (the infamous Mind Rape episode), and even more in the Director's Cut version. Near the end of The End of Evangelion, we also see a bunch of letters to Gainax, some graffiti on their studio walls, and even a death threat to director Hideaki Anno. The monitor of the Jet Alone's computer shows text highly reminiscent of the listing of TSR programs produced by the MEM command from MS-DOS, including one with a name similar to HIMEM.SYS. There's another 2I description, but it's only a description of Second Impact for the first sentence or so, after which it pulls a Prince of Bel-Air and the rest is a history of Studio Gainax with Gainax strategically replaced with GEHIRN and the words 'Second Impact' liberally sprinkled throughout. |

Mario Party 4: In the minigame Fruits of Doom, Bowser gives a list of fruits (with repeats), and players take turns bringing fruits to him. Choose a fruit he didn't list, or bring him a fruit more times than he listed, and you lose the game (and your coins).

Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu plays with this. In the art episode, Sōsuke asks advice from the eccentric art teacher. The art teacher's response is a whole, mindless lecture. At first, it simply records the parts Sōsuke understands (i.e. military terms). Then the teacher gets sped up and the subtitles get recorded in whole. He's unintelligible without the subs too. | |

In Smallville, happens a lot to articles and documents that are usually clear enough to be read but are only shown for a few seconds. However, if you pause the moments, most of them are serious text. | |

In Haruhi Suzumiya Yuki's programming is shown faster than the eye can follow. The code is somewhat realistic (consisting of valid snippets of the C programming language) if you look at it frame by frame. She also has a habit of speaking much too fast to understand, in SQL computer code... backwards. | |

Pinky and the Brain has one episode where Brain flicks through a slide-show very fast. If you play it in slow motion, the slides read, "I am now controlling your mind. See, I have made you use the freeze-frame on your VCR." The opening theme sequence to the same show had two of these. The first reads "Don't tell Brain that I hid this secret message. Ha ha. Narf." The second, naturally, reads "I know about your silly secret message, Pinky." | |

On The Colbert Report, after several months of listing "Super Pac" donators in a news-ticker form at the bottom of the screen, the Super Pac ended and there was no sense dragging the tail end out. Colbert told viewers to "get [their] TiVo remotes ready" and then listed all the remaining names in a matter of seconds, in a screen-filling stack of text rows scrolling by at breakneck speed. | |

Devil Survivor has a flash of text just before you summon your first demons. If you freeze it for a moment you'll notice that it's actually Paul's Letter to the Romans which talks about salvation through Jesus. It also serves as a very fast piece of foreshadowing for Amane's ending. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: When Heero is looking over the giant glob of text in the first episode, it's really a Photoshop readme. In another episode, Quatre is looking over the blueprints for his Gundam; it includes random technical text, including a couple of Shout Outs to the Universal Century timeline (namely, Gundarium and the ALICE AI from Gundam Sentinel). |

Super Mario Bros.: This is a running gag in the Mario RPGs. Super Mario RPG: The gardener in Rose Town spews several almost unreadably fast messages after you bring him the seed and the fertilizer, accompanied by the music going double-speed (and Mario becoming dizzy and falling down afterward). The same happens when finally his dreams come true and see their grown beanstalk, the one that give you access to the Lazy Shell equipment. In total, he does this three times. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door: A woman in Twilight Town grows increasingly frantic when talking about her missing husband, and begins talking in this manner when listing his flaws. Rather than become dizzy, Mario falls asleep during this! Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story: When Bowser is arguing with some Goomba staff while trying to get a seat his size at a theatre, one of them breaks out in a long, angry tirade that mostly flashes past too quickly to be read. This is made all the more funny because it comes completely out of the blue, since the character previously only spoke a single word at a time. |

NieR: Automata: One random NPC in the Resistance Camp is so chatty and talks so quickly that several boxes of text scroll past in a few seconds. 2B is left internally aghast at how anyone can talk so much. Some of the communications between Pods 042 and 153 in the C/D/E route. Then again, some of that sped-up text is basically gibberish borne from message encryption, so it doesn't matter much anyway. Endings F through Z have the entire credit roll fly by in the space of about two seconds. |

Fullmetal Alchemist's anime adaptations occasionally has pages of English text on screen that are legible but flash by too quickly to read much of. If you pause to get a better look, the first few lines are on-topic English and the rest are meaningless gibberish. Incidentally, the legible lines are taken verbatim from Dungeons & Dragons players manuals on alchemy. Fullmetal Alchemist evidently runs on a D20 system. | |

Inverted in Braid, the credits screen of which has unbearably slow text. In order to read it, one must either have the patience of a saint or realize that the time control mechanics (in particular, Fast Forward) work even here. | |

The main villain of Kirby Star Allies, Hyness, goes into a Motive Rant that lasts a mere 13 seconds, but occupies several full boxes worth of text. In case you were wondering, it goes exactly like this: | |

The opening credits of Godzilla (2014) feature the names of the cast and crew surrounded by narrative text that gets quickly redacted about a half-second after appearing. The text deals mainly with the efforts of MONARCH and the military to kill Godzilla and cover up his existence, along with text about a Conspiracy Theorist who thinks the Illuminati are behind all this. | |

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story: When Bowser is arguing with some Goomba staff while trying to get a seat his size at a theatre, one of them breaks out in a long, angry tirade that mostly flashes past too quickly to be read. This is made all the more funny because it comes completely out of the blue, since the character previously only spoke a single word at a time. | |

Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney does this with Wendy Oldbag whenever she appears. In Justice For All, there's Richard Wellington in Case 1 and Moe the Clown in Case 3. The special game over in 1-5 has the text start scrolling very slowly, then it gets faster and faster as Phoenix gets more frantic, eventually culminating in a very Big "NO!". Apollo Justice uses it with Wesley Stickler, who tends to throw in a whole bunch of big words and scientific rambling to try and sound profound. |

In the Hey Arnold! episode "Gerald Moves Out" when Mr. Hyunh points out the list of laundry room rules. The first few are standard laundry room rules, but the rest are jokes, such as "Riding in clothes dryer is forbidden without adult." | |

Hidamari Sketch has tons of these. The first episode of the second season flashes plot-relevant proverbs on the screen throughout the episode, but only keeps them on-screen for about half a second. If you consider that the proverbs are in English and the audience is Japanese, it's pretty much impossible for them to read it before it goes away. There's also a crossword puzzle flashed on screen in one episode for only a second or two. If you solve it, the answers end up being a bunch of other popular anime series. | |

The beginning of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption features a reading from some sort of life-support machine log. It starts of with a simple status update, but as the eponymous corruption starts spreading, the text glitches, pauses, then suddenly start scrolling at an unreadable rate before everything goes black. If viewed in slow motion, most of it is gibberish, but there is the occasional readable phrase, like "Wii Format" and some German. | |
