** There's also the Cliffport police chief talking about how the mayor was going to have his head on a pike because of the ruckus Nale caused. A couple of strips later, {{spoiler|Nale cuts off the Chief's head and impales it on his sword.}} [[Squick|Mmm...shishkabobs.]]

** Then there's [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0290.html this strip], in which [[The Reveal]] is that Shojo's advisor is the ghost of Roy's father, who remarks, "You were maybe expecting Patrick Swayze?" Of course, now that Patrick Swayze is ''actually dead''...

{{quote|
'''Young Bruce Wayne''': I'm Death! And you're a dead man, Daddy! }}
* [http://xkcd.com/527/ XKCD] pulls a joke about Steve Jobs losing weight. It turns out his weight loss was due to cancer which proved fatal.
Line 115:
** Even worse, in episode 12 or so, Donut laments to himself that he's focused on his career too much and it may be too late for him to start a family.
** Remember this line from ''Reconstruction''?
{{quote|
** Well, by the end of ''Recreation'', {{spoiler|"now" is officially [[Face Heel Turn|over.]]}}
** In ''Revelation'', Tucker tells Tex and Church not to come and ask the other Blues or the Reds for help if they die again, as they usually do, when they go to arctic Freelancer Base. {{spoiler|A couple episodes later, The Meta stabs a two-foot spike into Tex's helmet.}}
