Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Pop Up Video is a music video anthology series on VH1.What sets this show apart from other music video anthology shows is its use of little "info nuggets" that pop into the screen (with a distinctive "bloop" sound) during the video. Most of the nuggets feature background info and amusing trivia about the video being featured. Some also have background info marginally related to something featured in the video, and many of the nuggets add snarky commentary.In its original incarnation, Pop Up Video ran from 1996 to 2002. Happily, it was brought back in 2011 with newer music videos and slightly redesigned info nuggets, though it disappeared again after about a year.Before their switch to MTV Classic, VH1 Classic were quite fond of running classic episodes of Pop Up Video, although they only reran about the same sixteen episodes or so.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Elephant in the Living Room

comment
Elephant in the Living Room: The 2011 revival mentions this trope by name in the treatment of "She Bangs" by Ricky Martin. The nuggets on that video didn't outright mention Martin's homosexuality (he came out about a decade after releasing the song), but the captions did acknowledge that particular elephant in the room (complete with a rainbow graphic on one nugget), and added an elephant-shaped nugget every so often.

A Date with Rosie Palms: One episode in the original series, "Self-Love", exclusively featured songs that were widely interpreted, rightly or wrongly, as dealing with you-know-what.

Back to Front: Gleefully played with during the video for "Return to Innocence" by Enigma.note Which, for those of you not in the know, is already a trippy Back to Front video on its own. They put the end nugget at the beginning, set the regular nuggets up to appear with a reversed version of the standard pop up effect, put the regular nuggets in reverse order, and ended the video with the standard intro info. Done once again in the 2011 revival with Coldplay's "The Scientist".

Brick Joke: When "Always Something There To Remind Me" by Naked Eyes was featured. In one scene, singer Pete Byrne crosses the street and is hit by an inattentive driver. An info nugget says the director admonished the driver saying "Don't run over Pete." Near the end of the video, several mnemonics are listed including an unknown one called DROP. What does that stand for? Don't Run Over Pete.
