* ''[[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.
* In Issue #41 of ''[[Mad Magazine]]'' (from 1958), the cover picture of Alfred E. Neuman is half-finished because the artist got a call from [[Time Magazine]]. Cut to the article "The Next Day's Headlines" which shows disastrous headlines based on the advice columns shown on the previous page... and one about ''Time'' firing their new artist because all their people looked like Alfred E. Neuman.
* ''[[The Onion]]'' did it with pictures. The front cover of the February 21, 2011 issue shows a picture of Blake Griffin jumping over a car with the headline "Car Blake Griffin Dunked Over Vows Revenge". Cut to the March 21, 2011 issue which has the cover showing a picture of Blake Griffin run over by a car with the headline "Car Blake Griffin Dunked Over Exacts Bloody Revenge".
