Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]s in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
* ''[[Return to Zork]]'' had various characters making reference to a "boar in the forest" joke, which was always interrupted at inconvenient times. One could make the argument that {{spoiler|the blacksmith's interruption, "Did you hear the one about the boar in the forest? Ooops, greasy fingers" was the whole joke, as it did gain laughs from the audience when you told it at Chuckles Comedy Club}}. Eventually {{spoiler|the player encounters a statue of a boar in The Forest of the Spirits which must be struck by a sword to uncover one of the missing pieces of the Disc of Frobozz.}}
* In ''[[Uncharted]] 2'' Sully tells Nate that they should follow a hose that leads to a campsite, in which Nate remarks, "You ''always'' follow the hose. Remember back in Montreal?" Sully answers, "You'll never let that go, will you?" with no explanation as to what happened in Montreal.
Line 17 ⟶ 20:
'''Barney:''' That's what you said the last time.
'''Alyx:''' ''(in the teleporter)'' Hey uh, yeah, about that cat...
''([[Brick Joke|one in-game week later]])''
'''Barney:''' Did you hear a cat just now? That damn thing haunts me... }}
** ''[[Concerned]]'' [http://www.hlcomic.com/index.php?date=2005-08-03 referenced] this from before the incident.
Line 29 ⟶ 32:
* ''[[Sam and Max]]'', in the Telltale episodes, constantly refer to events that happen in other cases without getting into the specifics. Examples:
{{quote|'''Max:''' Great, now what am I going to do with the buckets of Sea Monster Blood?
'''Sam:''' Remember our old car, Max?
'''Max:''' I said I was sorry!
'''Sam: (looking at a dartboard with one dart in it)''' Someday we're going to finish that game.
Line 67 ⟶ 68:
'''Pauling:''' You know what? Nevermind. }}
** Finally, we have issue of [[The Faceless|the Pyro]]'s gender, which Valve is keen to tease about. Their official stance: it's one of those questions "that get asked so often that they become, in a sense, unanswerable."
* In [[Marvel vs. Capcom 3]], Phoenix Wright's [[For Massive Damage| Hyper Combo]] involves prosecuting the opponent for... Well, a lot of the details of the actual crime goes unsaid, other than the fact that it involves a flower vase, a cellphone, and a hunting knife. Still, it's a pretty lethal move that causes the opponent to break down and confess.
* Medic's Patient, Heavy, has one as well (although it never is mentioned in his "original" game, but in [[Poker Night At the Inventory]]):
{{quote|'''Heavy:''' "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}tVtAFoS0GyM We had to either box or learn to herd goats.] *[[Beat]] ... I am not good with goats."}}
Line 103 ⟶ 105:
{{quote|'''Kamarov:''' Hm... I guess I owe you one.
'''Gaz:''' Bloody right you do. }}
* In the ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' quest, "Mysteries of the Infinite", [[Time Lord|Chromie]] sends the future version of your character to help you fend off the Infinite Dragonflight at the Bronze Dragon shrine. Once the danger has passed:
{{quote|'''Future You:''' Listen. I'm not supposed to tell you this, but there's going to be this party that you're invited to. Whatever you do, DO NOT DRINK THE PUNCH!}}
* In ''[[Akiba's Trip|Akiba's Trip 2]]'' the main cast, marathon [[Show Within a Show]] ''Striprism''. Existing otaku fans and non-otaku newcomers alike both enjoy the series, but '''everyone''' utterly despises the final episode to the point of claiming [[Discontinuity|the series is 47 episodes long]]. At no point is ''what'' made this final episode so horrible mentioned. Since ''Striprism'' is seen to have both a still thriving [[Cosplay]] community and a sequel series, the final episode clearly wasn't enough to be a [[Franchise Killer]].
