Foreshadowing/Web Original

Examples of in  works include:

"Caboose: Oh, we need your help! Can you come right away? Can you come help us? Washington: I don´t think that is going to happen. Washington eventually makes his way out of jail to Valhalla, just in time to save the Reds from the Meta. Instead, he shoots two of them to show Simmons that its Serious Business now. And it turns out he is working with the Meta."
 * "Can anyone tell me what a Portkey is?" "Aportkeyisanenchantedobjectthatwhentouchedwilltransporttheoneoroneswhotouchittoanywhereontheglobedecideduponbytheenchanter." "Very good....now can anyone tell me what foreshadowing is?"
 * After the events of Red vs.Blue Reconstruction Agent Washington ends up in jail and gets a call from Caboose in Recreation:

""'Cause the dark is everywhere and Penny doesn't seem to care that soon the dark in me is all that will remain..." Horrible/Penny: There's no happy ending/So they say Horrible: Not for me anyway... "It's not a death ray...""
 * In the Youtube video The Devil And Daniel Webster, the main character, Javez, along with 2 others mention 'not selling [Javez's] soul to the devil. After doing so, a character will look puzzled, and whoever said it will reply, "Foreshadowing."
 * In this Left 4 Dead custom campaign video, at about 3:40, the person playing as Zoey tells another person, when asked to predict the future, that he will die and everyone else will live. This actually turns out to be true. Lampshaded by an annotation at the end.
 * In Doctor Horribles Sing Along Blog, all of Bad Horse's communications are sung by a trio of cowboys. Guess what the ring tone sounds like when he calls?
 * Also, several (maybe) throwaway lines during the songs:

"Stone: "At least now I know what that muscleheaded bastard meant...""
 * Commonly in The Slender Man Mythos, whenever someone mentions childhood fears or something along the line of that, expect Slendy to be intersected with those fears at some point. For a more specific variant, see Just Another Fool, in which Josh mentions breaking an arm after some man in a suit refused to get off the road, so he swerved out of the way and fell off his motorbike.
 * In Stone's first appearance as a Global Guardian, a fight with several villains from TAROT, Strength jokes at him, "Say hello to your Mom for me." Stone, being an orphan, just took it as a taunt. Nine years later, Stone finds out that he isn't an orphan at all, that his mother is a supervillain and that Stone was hidden from her by his own father, and that she had worked with Strength on several occasions.

"Priere: ...Wonder what'd I'd be like as a superhero...no, that's a stupid subject, never mind... Izzy: Probably do well. Jack: With your power, you'd do fine. Matilda: I wonder if I'd make a good superhero... What made you think about that, anyways, Prier? Priere: ...Dunno. Some sorta premonition, I guess...of what I dunno. User:Hilarity Ensues: I hope it's not one of those premonitions where everyone dies, then you tell people about it, thereby saving a select few survivors from certain death, only for those very same people to die in bizarre accidents a short time later, and then someone makes a shitty horror series based off of it. Matilda: ...What. Priere: ...I really hope not...I don't think I could stand to watch such a movie..."
 * The Nostalgia Chick's Xanadu review mentioned her love for robots and had her finally getting pissed off with just doing girly shit. The next episode was a four part arc, starting with Transformers and the Critic yelling at her for going into his territory.
 * Discussed in We Are Our Avatars


 * Happens quite a bit with The Nostalgia Critic. One such instance was when he was complaining yet again about how his job left him with no dignity, and the next week later he's in a M. Bison costume trying to keep hold of a country.
 * In The Gamers Alliance, foreshadowing happens quite often. Even relatively minor NPCs or objects referred to in passing can end up having a big impact some time later.
