Line 76:
* [[Spaceballs]] parodies [[Dramatic Timpani]] by having the dramatic flourish during {{spoiler|Spaceship One's transormation into Mega Maid}} be provided by an ''actual'' timpanist. This timpanist is later seen as one of the evacuees when the [[Self-Destruct Mechanism]] is activated.
* In his autobiography ''Anything Goes,'' [[John Barrowman]] mentions that he has never had any children, and he's absolutely sure of it. Several chapters later, he discusses being a gay man and having a girlfriend, who (and I paraphrase) "only convinced him that he was a player for the boys' team. And now [[I Know You Know|you know how I know]] that I don't have any kids."

* There's a picture in ''The Last Straw'', the 3rd [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid]] book, that reveals that Greg once turned in a book report '''4 pages long''' (cover included), and only a few sentences long because {{spoiler|he took up more than half of the last page writing "THE END" in big letters, using the excuse that [[Blatant Lies|he was running out of paper]].}} [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|That spoiler-tagged part]] comes up at the end when Greg admits that he was ending his story on sort of a generic happy ending note, {{spoiler|but he admits that [[Ironic Echo|he's running out of paper...]]}}
* At one point in the first ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' book, Shagga threatens to "cut off [a man's] manhood and feed it to goats." In the next book, Tyrion tells him to do this to a prisoner, despite not having any goats nearby. Shagg obliges, and takes his axe to the prisoner's {{spoiler|beard}}.
* ''[[Wayside School]]'' loved this trope:
** When Louis gets all the cows out of the school, someone comments they can still hear a moo. 19 chapters, later, it's revealed there's a cow in Miss Zarves's class.
** When they test the theory of gravity showing that objects fall at the same speed despite different masses, they throw a coffee pot out the window. Much later, Mr. Kidswatter asks where the teachers lounge coffee pot went.
** When Benjamin reveals he's really Benhamin Nushmut, Mrs. Jewls gives him the lunch that was on her desk from the first day of class.
** In a story with a disappointing ending, Paul is hypnotized not only into not pulling Leslie's Pigtails, but into eating her ears whenever she says "Pencil". About ten chapters or so after this, Leslie mentions they need a new pencil sharpener.
* ''[[Dark Future (novel)|Dark Future]]'': Early in ''Krokodil Tears'' a news report mention the death of Wally The Whale, last living cetacean in the Atlantic and major tourist attraction for the Isle of Skye. The Mayor of Skye plans to have the whale preserved and open up a restaurant in his stomach named Jonah's Snackbar. Two hundred pages later, during the climactic fight between Jessamyn and the Jibbenainosay, Wally the Whale comes back to life. In the middle of the Bolivian ambassador's birthday party.
