* In "Lisa the Skeptic", Mr. Burns tells Smithers to "use the amnesia ray" to make the town forget that he admitted the power plant accidentally created mutants. Smithers reveals that the amnesia ray is a handgun. Fast forward to ''[[X-Men (Film)|X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]'' and one bullet to the brain makes the titular main character forget his past (he lives because of his [[Healing Factor]] and super hard bones).

* In "The Squirt and the Whale", there is a parody trailer for a film called "Tic–Tac–Toe: X v. O", which was suppose to be a parody of movie licensing. Considering that there are going to be films based off the games Battleship and Ouija, we can't be far off the Tic-Tac-Toe film.

* In "Itchy and Scratchy Land", Homer and Marge go to a 70s nostalgia bar, where Marge points out how the bartender looks like [[John Travolta]]. The bartender, who is indeed Travolta, mutters "Yeah, 'looks like'.". Right around the time the episode originally aired, Travolta made [[Career Resurrection|his comeback]] with ''[[Pulp Fiction]]''.

* In "myPods and Boomsticks", Bart says that his family shouldn't fear his new friend's family; one of the reasons being their last name is Bin Laden. Similar to the South Park and Family Guy examples down the list, this becomes much funnier after the acts of Seal Team 6.

** Also, in "The Otto Show", one of the goods being sold is a Spinal Tap shirt with the band kicking Mommar Gaddaffi in the butt. Much like the Family Guy and Looney Tunes examples, Gaddaffi was hated by the Egyptian people and thus made his departure and death more satisfying.

* A season two episode of ''[[South Park]]'' had Stan complaining that independent movies were all about "Gay cowboys eating pudding." Less than a decade later, ''[[Brokeback Mountain]]'' proved to have two thirds of these criteria. When Parker and Stone heard about it, one of them said, "If there's any pudding eating in it, maybe we'll sue."

* A guy in the "Cartoon Wars" episode mentioned he likes ''[[Family Guy]]'' because "[[Self Deprecation|it doesn't get all preachy and up its own ass with messages]]" (referring to ''[[South Park]]'' at the time). ''[[Family Guy]]'' fans who don't view this as a [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]] will agree this statement applies to most of ''[[Family Guy]]'''s episodes as of late.

** In said episode, the main issue was Family Guy planned to show Mohammed uncensored in the face of Islamic death threats and everyone in town burying their heads in the sand rather than deal with the problem. Years after that episode, ''South Park'' gained notoriety when the episode "201" was heavily censored after its premiere airing to remove all scenes of Mohammed in a bear costume and several lines which have been censored for rather arbitrary reasons.

* In "The Coon," while Mysterion is fighting Professor Chaos, there is a moment where he gets knocked down for a few moments, and the crowd of people watching think he's dead. Fast forward to the episode "Mysterion Rises," where we find out that {{spoiler|Mysterion is Kenny, and has been cursed with immortality.}}

* In "Peterotica", one of Peter's many erotic stories is, in the tradition of porn parodies, "Harry Potter and the Half-Black Chick". Three years later, the [[Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince|film version of Half-Blood Prince]] featured a scene [[Adaptation Expansion|not from the book]] in which Harry flirts with a light-skinned African girl.

* The first banned episode "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" (the episode where Peter takes in a Jewish man who helps him manage the family's money, and Peter taking Chris to Vegas to get a quickie bar mitzvah) becomes funnier now that "Family Goy" revealed that {{spoiler|Lois's mom was Jewish, not Protestant, and had to hide her true religion so Carter can join a country club that doesn't allow Jewish people}}.

* "Not All Dogs Go To Heaven", despite it's hate for its [[Family Unfriendly Aesop]] about religion and atheism, becomes funnier when you realize that twelve episodes later, {{spoiler|Brian gets called out on pushing his atheism on others -- among other faults -- by Quagmire in "Jerome is the New Black"}}

* In the third installment of the ''[[Star Wars]]'' parodies "It's A Trap!", you see Osama bin Laden pop out from behind a sand dune on Tatooine and shout "Still Alive!". ''[[Sarcasm Mode|Sure]]'' ya are.

** In a similar vein, "Meet The Quagmires" had Peter and Brian living in an alternate reality where Lois and Quagmire are married to each other. Lois mentions that America finally found Osama bin Laden in the cast of ''[[Mad TV]]'' (which Quagmire adds is, "...the one place no one thought to look"). What used to be a [[Take That]] on ''[[Mad TV]]'' being an unpopular, hardly-recognized [[Expy]] of ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' becomes funnier (in a dark way) now that both ''[[Mad TV]]'' and Osama bin Laden are dead (''[[Mad TV]]'' got canceled in 2009, while Osama bin Laden was found and killed in Pakistan by Navy SEALS in 2011).

* In ''[[Batman the Animated Series (Animation)|Batman the Animated Series]],'' in the end of the episode ''The Gray Ghost,'' the [[Show Within a Show]] of the same name is given a rerelease as a result of the main plot. The cases look almost identical to modern [[Blu Ray]] cases: a wrap around with the logo/image/etc. of the series with a bright blue bar above and a flat bottom with the same color. In the 90's. The only things missing are the rounded edges and a [[Sony]] logo.

** Alfred's "Are we developing an interest in rock and roll, sir?" from ''On Leather Wings'', after ''[[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|Atop the Fourth Wall]]'''s review of ''Batman: Fortunate Son'' began the [[Running Gag]] about Batman hating rock & roll.

** In the episode "Legends of the Dark Knight", the [[Silver Age]] style segment features a Robin voiced by Brianne Sidall, known for, among other roles, Mithos Yggdrasill. Years later, ''[[Teen Titans (Animation)|Teen Titans]]'' would have Robin be voiced by [[Scott Menville]], best known as Lloyd Irving. They are the respective villain and hero of ''[[Tales of Symphonia (Video Game)|Tales of Symphonia]]''.

** In the "Return of Batduck" episode, in which Plucky Duck tries to get a role in ''[[Batman (Film)|Batman Returns]]'', one gag has [[Tim Burton]] explaining to [[Dracula]] that he likes him a lot, but he's already doing movies about "a bat guy". The Count says "I'll go with Coppola" before departing, a reference to ''Bram Stoker's Dracula'' which arrived later in 1992. Coppola's Dracula was played by Gary Oldman, who found his own way into the Batman universe by playing Jim Gordon in the [[Dark Knight Trilogy]] years later.

** The "Samurai Film Critic" skit from "Weekday Afternoon Live", featuring Dizzy Devil as the aforementioned samurai, has a bit where Dizzy [[Who Writes This Crap|gets sick of the dated references in the sketch]] and starts slashing the screen to ribbons, yelling "WHO ''CARES'' ABOUT ''KIEFER SUTHERLAND?!''" at the top of his lungs. Now that Sutherland's had a massive popularity kick thanks to ''[[Twenty Four|24]]'', the scene is that much funnier.

* In the 1943 short "Porky Pig's Feat", Daffy and Porky get stuck in a prison cell, and Porky wonders aloud what [[Bugs Bunny]] would do in a situation like this. Daffy eagerly chimes in, "Yeah, Bugs Bunny--my hero!" Later on, Daffy would be flanderized into being jealous of Bugs's success, so YMMV on whether this is funnier in hindsight or [[Harsher in Hindsight]].

* In "Rabbit Hood", when Bugs is trying to trick the sheriff into thinking the king is approaching, he hollers "O'er yon Chevy Chase!" At the time, it refered to a city in Maryland that had this name, but if you're a fan of the original ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' cast, then it's funnier.

Apparently [[Squick|he tastes even better than their usual fare]], so it's possible that Bumblebee just settled on the first blood-analogue he could find for his dramatic statement.

In ''[[The Dark Knight]]'', Alfred tells Bruce "Some men just want to watch the world burn." (though this line featured prominently in a teaser trailer a year prior). The very next day audiences got to see Fire Lord Ozai trying to burn the entire Earth Kingdom to the ground. It was like they knew the movie would be premiering on the same weekend!
