Line 48:
* In [[Awesomeness of the Ocarina]] this trope is inverted and discussed. "Even though Navi tempted fate with the dreaded "It can't get any worse" stock phrase, things actually got better. Link noticed this, but he didn't want to push his luck."
* Subverted in episode 45 of ''[[Pretty Cure Heavy Metal]]''. After taking a single whiff of a cigarette, Shugo says she doesn't want to get addicted. Guess what? She's remained smoke-free ever since.
* Lampshaded in ''[[Harry Potter and The Methods of Rationality (Fanfic)|Harry Potter and The Methods of Rationality]]'' during the {{spoiler|Stanford Prison Experiment}} arc. Dumbledore declared himself invincible and an {{spoiler|Azkaban guard}} asks in astonished horror if he really just said that. Her commander says that he can get away with it since not even fate takes Dumbledore seriously anymore.
* In [[A Hero]], the second chapter has Dalek Sec watching Homura battle Walpurgisnacht from afar, and concluding that the Witch isn't looking his way, and wouldn't attack him. Fortunately, Sec's [[Genre Savvy]] enough to realize what he just did, which gives him just enough time to learn that a horde of familiars are heading his way.
* This is referenced in ''[[The Man qith No Name (fanfic)|The Man With No Name]]'' while some characters are infiltrating the enemy stronghold. {{spoiler|It ultimately ends up subverted, however; despite the Doctor's expectations, nothing of the sort happens}}.
