Line 32:
*** Considering all the crap he got for his alleged crimes, that episode of ''South Park'' actually had a shocking amount of sympathy for him as an [[Adult Child]] who acted this way because he never had a real childhood.
** Remember how Kenny's deaths used to be hilarious, if somewhat disturbing? "Coon vs Coon and Friends" erases all of the hilarity from any of his deaths {{spoiler|when you learn that Kenny's super power as Mysterion is immortality and that he can't stand seeing his friends forget him being shot, stabbed or torn apart.}}
** "Butters' Very Own Episode" ends with Gary Condit, JonBenet Ramsey's parents, and [[O.J. Simpson]] being called out for being murderers who lie through their teeth and (in the second case) are playing the victims on top of that. Not ''nearly'' as funny and biting now that all but O.J. Simpson have been confirmed to be innocent people [[Convicted by Public Opinion]], and too late for Patsy Ramsey (who died of ovarian cancer) at that.
** When the episode, "It's a Jersey Thing", the residents of South Park calling in Al Qaeda and [[Osama Bin Laden]] to assist against the encroachment of Jerseyites, the episode ending with special forces dropping in and shooting Bin Laden in the head and proclaiming "We got im!". At the time, many people argued that it was a [[Dude, Not Funny]] moment. About 7 months later, special forces actually did get him, resulting in this trope.
** The episode "Scott Tenorman Must Die", aired in 2001, has a scene where Scott finds a human finger in his bowl of chili (that {{spoiler|turns out to be the finger of one of his parents, whom had been used as the secret ingredient of the chili Cartman cooked}}). Four years later, a woman named Anna Alaya claimed that a human finger was found in her bowl of Wendy's chili, but it turned out to be a hoax.
*** And for an in-universe example of this trope, the revelation in the [[Wham! Episode]] "201" completely twists the climax of "Scott Tenorman Must Die" around in a new light. For those who wonder: {{spoiler|Cartman's true father and Scott Tenorman's father are the same. Meaning that Cartman killed his own dad and thus that his his victory in "Scott Tenorman Must Die" was a retroactive [[Pyrrhic Victory]].}}
