Funny Aneurysm Moment/Web Original: Difference between revisions

* ''[[1/0]]'' declared "war" on another webcomic on September 11th of 2000.

* The [http://www.lefthandedtoons.com/361/ 21 November 2008 Left-Handed Toons (by right-handed people)] subverted this trope by undercutting the punchline ''the day it was posted''.

** An early running gag has Roger vehemently deny being a werecoyote, despite the fact that nobody accused him of being one. By the time he reveals that he is one, the strip's taken a dark enough turn that a terrible bloodlust, to which his mother has already succumbed, is a major plot point.

** Another early story has April and Roger get possessed by ghosts inhabiting a television set and a hairdryer, respectively, to do battle. Later stories show that Roger is particularly vulnerable to possession by Satan in his werecoyote form, and April's gradual progression to [[Yandere]] and eventually [[Manipulative Bastard]] is implied to be at least partially due to Satanic influence.

** ''[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/136826 Fun With Suicide]'' by the author Livecorpse is much darker in retrospect as he committed suicide several months later. Even moreso by the fact that one of the options is "Suicide by Cop", considering that he was on the run from the police when he died.

* The fan-fiction writers for the site Ghostbusters West Coast have a particularly bad record for this. One story had [[Michael Jackson]] as a werewolf who got savagely beaten up by the main characters and then arrested for murder, and another had a character explaining that he almost ran over an old man because "I thought you were Ted Kennedy."

* [[The Nostalgia Critic]] did a scathing review of ''[[Moonwalker]]'' about two and a half months before [[Michael Jackson]] died. While that in itself was just a coincidence, and the movie was bad, there are some moments that are awkward now:

** The villain in "Smooth Criminal" wants to get all of the kids of the world addicted to drugs. As it turned out, a small pharmacy worth of drugs was found at Neverland Ranch. And while Jackson was legally cleared of child molestation, he was [[Convicted by Public Opinion]] before [[Dead Artists Are Better]] took effect.

** And it happened again during the review of ''Sidekicks'', where Jonathan Brandis's character has frequent daydreams about fighting alongside Chuck Norris. The Critic comments that the kid seems more mentally ill than daydreaming, and he was right. He found out later that Brandis committed suicide in 2003. The next time Brandis popped up in a review -- ''[[The Neverending Story (film)|The Neverending Story]] 2'', where his character also seems mentally unstable -- he was interrupted by an elephant in the room so he could comment upon this.

** His review of ''[[The Room]]'' ends with {{spoiler|the seahorses chasing him down because all viewings of the movie have been outlawed.}} For a while, the review was inaccessible because the movie's creator filed a copyright claim and had it taken down.

** Possibly the fastest onset of a funny aneurysm-much of the jokes in the review of ''Dunston Checks In'' are derived from insisting "Monkeys Aren't Funny!" The Monkees' lead singer Davy Jones died of heart failure the following day of the review's posting on Blip.

* [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]] example: In the NES [[Superman]] review, he makes a big deal about how part of the plot of the game involves Clark being sent to investigate an unexplained drop in stock prices, and how it was a ludicrous element to include in a superhero game. Funny then. Cringe-inducing for anybody with a 401(k) in the wake of the stock market dropping 1,000 points over the course of thirty minutes.

* A meme on 4chan is to post a picture of a living star, pretending them to be dead with the text "Goodnight, sweet prince". The most famous is the one on the [http://encyclopediadramatica.rs/Goodnight_Sweet_Prince right...]

* [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/comedy-goldmine/jokes-with-realistic.php This] [[Anti-Humor]] article is unpleasant, especially since the current Pope has been (as of this writing) alive and Pope-ing for over half a decade.

** Speaking of Billy Mays YTP's, "Mark3611's" video, "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fGT6S1NzTc Billy Mays Sells Zorbees in a Bad Mood]", throws in a final joke by overlaying Billy saying "A year's supply of powder!" with an image of cocaine and a razor. Well, given the results of a [http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/TV/08/07/florida.mays.cocaine/ certain autopsy...]

** One website ran some Billy Mays videos as its "Link of the Day"... about twelve hours before he died. The administrator was freaked out when he heard the news.

** Could someone post a link mentioning their annulment?

** There's not much out there (understandably), but he talks about it [http://littlekuriboh.livejournal.com/112889.html here] on his livejournal account.

* One of the pieces Seanbaby did for the Cracked.com website was an explanation of [[World of Warcraft]] in terms of [[Super Mario Brothers]]. Specifically, he suggested that ''World of Warcraft'' is like a version of [[Super Mario Brothers]] in which there are multiple players, but they don't do as well as a single player would because they collectively aren't as smart and they get in each other's way. Anyhow, the most recent installment of SMB, [[Super Mario Brothers]] [[Wii]], includes multi-player and is advertised as a family game -- and yes, the characters can get in each other's way.

* For a time, the [[Tourettes Guy]] videos were considered a Funny Aneurysm ''series'' after news about its star's death appeared in August of 2007. About 2 years later, it was then revealed that the Tourettes Guy was [[He's Just Hiding|in prison the whole time]], and a new video was released in late 2009 following his release from prison.

** It's not the only one about him. In ''[[Asdfmovie|THE TWENTY MINUTE ASDFMOVIE]]'', an angry potato tells the "I like trains" kid, "I am an angry potato and I hope you die of cancer!" Edd Gould voiced the "I like trains" kid.

* [[Facebook]] had one which concerned ''the site itself''. The fact that someone registered the domain in March 2002 is one such thing, even though the content was not social networking, it was just domain-parking.
