supercut
Thematic clip collection
A supercut is a video compilation that strings together numerous brief clips sharing a common element—a repeated phrase, visual motif, or recurring trope from film, television, or other media.
The format emerged as an internet phenomenon, allowing creators to highlight patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed: a supercut of every time a character says "I have a bad feeling about this" in Star Wars.
Supercuts often serve as commentary, criticism, or simply entertainment through obsessive curation.
