** The above point about Macfarlane being supposed to board the plane is made worse by the episode ''Back to the Woods'', in which he, as Peter, jokes about a film he is (jokingly) planning to wait called '9/11, Two-Thousand FUN!'. It appears he has dealt with the trauma of nearly going on a doomed flight rather well.

** Adult Swim aired an episode where Mayor West laughs uncontrollably for about a minute straight at the name of the character [[Embarrassing Nickname|Boner]] from [[Growing Pains]]. That's all fine and good, until you realize that they aired said episode 2 days after Andrew Koenig, the actor who played Boner hanged himself from a tree in Stanley Park.

** And let's not forget the episode, "The Former Life of Brian" when Peter says Brian's very ugly ex-girlfriend looks like a really hot Tim Russert. Two months later, Russert died of a heart attack. When the episode was rerun, the reference to Tim Russert was [[This Trope Is Bleep|bleeped out]].

** "Meet The Quagmires": In the alternate universe where Lois is married to Quagmire, Lois mentions that Osama bin Laden was finally captured and that he was hiding out in the cast of ''[[Mad TV]]'' (which Quagmire states that it's "...the one place no one would think to look." What was once a [[Take That|burn]] against ''[[Mad TV]]'' being a nigh-unknown ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' clone is now wince-worthy considering that ''[[Mad TV]]'' was canceled in 2009 with hardly anyone around to see its series finale (as for bin Laden being captured, that's [[Hilarious in Hindsight]], just like all the jokes made between 2001 and 2010 about bin Laden never being found).

** 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]].}}
