Situations: 1. When a digital movie starts playing before you get switched over to the video input, or
2. When a digital media source begins playback at some point other than the actual beginning.
Result: upon realizing the title is playing, but not from the beginning, the viewer must manually restart the show. Then, at some random point, the viewer reaches that spot where they had originally tuned in, causing a sense of dejavu, or DVD-ja-vu.

So I slipped an adult video into the DVD player and then we finished watching the news, but the damn thing auto-played, so when I switched over the movie was already playing. So, I started it over and 10 minutes later, BOOM! DVD-ja-vu.

Get the DVD-ja-vu mug.by Mea.unknown May 9, 2021
Get the Vu mug.A feeling of nostalgia for something you’d never experienced until recently, such as an arcade game that was popular before you were born.
Person 1: The Littleroot Town music from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire makes me feel so nostalgic.
Person 2: You played those games as a kid?
Person 1: No, I didn’t. I haven’t even played the remakes. It’s like...nostaljà vu.

Get the Digi vu mug.
A "here we go again" bu**s**t-occurrence dat usually happens during normal waking hours, but this time is taking place after da sun went down.
Da thickly-bearded Geico dude would easily be able to see da "nightjà vu" of a lighted "so easy, even a caveman could do it" advertising-sign; he'd feel similarly disgusted and humiliated as he would if it had merely been a sunlight-illuminated wall-poster.
