Line 115:
* A bit of ironic crossover occurred in the ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' cartoon, where (former) [[C-List Fodder]] Dr. Light is sucked into an apparently horrible abyss within Raven's cloak by shadowy tentacles that came from where the lower half of her body should have been. In later episodes, Dr. Light is comically terrified whenever Raven is in sight. The [[Naughty Tentacles]] jokes had less allure after the official DC ''[[The DCU|comic]]'' version of Doctor Light was given a history of rape after an initial [[Identity Crisis|infamous story]] used to make him more threatening...
* In the ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' episode "Summer Belongs to You!", Doofenshmirtz's evil plan is to drop a giant water balloon on Tokyo, flooding it. Almost a year later, the infamous earthquake hit that flooded Japan with a tsunami.
* In one episode of ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'', as Arnold tries to teach a held-back student named Torvald math, he tells him how math is important and that without it, you might have trouble with things like pluses and minuses. This cuts to an [[Imagine Spot]] of an adult Torvald at Wall Street pressing a minus button on a computer, causing the world economy to crash. With the global recession hitting in 2008, this has become somewhat awkward.
** The 2010 flash crash is a more relevant example. Something (and it's still not clear exactly what) caused the market to drop six hundred points in five minutes, and recover within 20 minutes.
* Surprisingly inverted in the pilot episode of ''[[Drawn Together]]''. Comedy Central almost cut a scene where Toot revealed that she cuts herself, deeming it too controversial. A year before the show premiered, an episode of ''[[The Real World]]'':San Diego revealed that Frankie Abernathy was a cutter. Because of its relevance, the scene was left in the show.
