Line 25:
* The final episode of ''Blackadder Goes Forth'' (the fourth and last ''[[Blackadder]]'' series, set during [[World War I]]) features characters making remarks like 'It's ice cream in Berlin in 15 days', 'See you all in Berlin for coffee and cakes', and 'We'll be sucking sausages in Berlin by teatime!' about the upcoming battle. Eventually Blackadder [[Lampshade Hanging|hangs a lampshade on]] this by [[Deadpan Snarker|snarking]], 'I hope their cafés are well stocked; everyone seems determined to eat out the moment they arrive.'
* ''[[Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip]]'': during a two parter where a cast member's brother is being held hostage in Afghanistan, we see a [[Flash Back]], during which the President of the network (who was only a VP then) opines that the war will be over in a month.
* The Battle of Serenity Valley in ''[[Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]'' was assumed by Alliance command to be an easy victory. Though the Independents would ultimately lose the battle due to massive Alliance air support, the browncoats were nonetheless able to hold the Alliance for far longer than anyone thought possible (the fact that the Alliance ''had'' to call in the air support was a victory of sorts). Unfortunately, it's implied that the "victory" in the valley was ultimately disastrous for the Independents, who surrendered not long after.
