* This ''[[Cracked.com]]'' [http://www.cracked.com/article_17209_insane-sports-stories-that-will-make-you-believe-in-curses.html article where the first item] declared that the San Francisco Giants have a curse to never win the World Series. Oops.
** Another article "[http://www.cracked.com/article_15291_the-2007-lineup-35-soon-to-be-cancelled-shows.html The 2007 Lineup: 35 Soon to Be Canceled Shows]" is this. Although most of the shows did get canceled soon after they premiered (and the joke is that ''every'' show of the 2007 season is represented), a few didn't, such as ''[[Chuck]]'' (which lasted five years), ''The Singing Bee'' (in its 7th season as of 2014), ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'' (2 seasons and critical acclaim), and most notably ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]''.
** One entry for the Photoplasty contest [http://www.cracked.com/photoplasty_31_15-ways-they-could-get-people-to-actually-watch-tv-again/ 15 Ways They Could Get People to Actually Watch TV Again] was a new season of ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]''. [http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/ustv/news/a343448/arrested-development-new-episodes-movie-confirmed.html A few years later...]
** [http://www.cracked.com/photoplasty_85_if-video-games-were-realistic_p27#25 This] entry in a Photoplasty contest became hilarious after [[Rock Band]] 3 introduced pro mode, which can be used with a 108-button guitar controller.
* All Ghost stuff in ''[[Red vs. Blue]]''.
* From ''[[Youtube Poop]]'':
** In ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yacqVp39e98 The LOL King]'', one of the first jokes involves Simba falling off of Pride Rock as Rafiki holds him up. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIP1xnk2W3E&t=3m27s And then, the official blooper reel on the Diamond Edition DVD came].
** In ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfnHpF4zs48 The Ganonator]'', the titular [[Implacable Man]] tells a punk to "Give me your face. Now!" In light of a certain [[Pre-Mortem One-Liner]] from ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]''...
Line 23:
** There's also his rant about the movie ''[[Rocky Balboa]]'' breaking the ''Rocky'' series' numbering tradition, and compares it to the then-upcoming new Rambo film being titled "John Rambo." That did indeed become the movie's working title for a while (and actual release title in some countries), causing him to comment "I feel kind of bad, like I picked on a retarded kid."
** In the ''[[Silver Surfer (video game)|Silver Surfer]]'' review, the nerd mocked how [[One-Hit-Point Wonder|weak]] Silver Surfer was, comparing it to hypothetically showing Bruce Lee tripping over his shoelaces. A few years later (though it's not Bruce Lee), we have ''[[Super Smash Bros Brawl]]'', in which several bounty hunters, futuristic agents, [[Metal Gear|Solid Snake]], and ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' trip over themselves once every few minutes (randomly), with absolutely no way to stop it or turn it off.
* This line in [[Bum Reviews|Chester A. Bum]] review of ''[[Up]]'' turns out to be more hilarious when Pixar [[Pixar Shorts|did a short]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LRaIbiCvBY closely like that] five months and 23 days later after the review.
{{quote|"That what all people should do! We should send all the old people in the sky!" }}
* The original [[Zero Punctuation]] review of ''[[Duke Nukem Forever]]''. Yahtzee's "review" was recently voted the [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/1968-Viewers-Choice-Duke-Nukem-Forever best he'd ever done] by members of ''The Escapist'' - mere days afterward, Gearbox announced that ''DNF'' was [http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2010/09/03/controversial-long-awaited-duke-nukem-forever-will-finally-be-released/ actually finished], and a demo was playable at PAX. Now ''that's'' timing.
Line 37:
*** Another one with LK and Vic -- for their first Kamicon promo, Martin calls him [[Yuri Lowenthal]]. Vic voiced an Uchiha later in ''Shippuden''.
** Also, a good two years before the Abridged Series came out and made these types of jokes, the dub had a military captain in the Doma filler arc (who played the whole situation straight in the original) say that "as strange as it sounds, the fate of the world now depends on a card game."

{{quote|'''Joey:''' Be careful, Yug. This guy means business. He wasn't even remotely intimidated by my Brooklyn Rage.
'''Yami:''' Joey, stop trying to turn 'Brooklyn Rage' into a catchphrase. It's never going to work. }}
Line 53:
* In an episode of [[There Will Be Brawl]], Luigi sees [[Earthbound|Ness]] and [[Mother 3|Lucas]] playing, and is inspired by their childish innocence to keep working to save the Mushroom Kingdom. This was considered a small [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]], and some fans suggested they'd be the "token innocent children who get held ransom by the bad guys". {{spoiler|Eventually the final episode rolls around, and it turns out ''they're the Butcher(s)''.}} Like the example at the top of the page, the contrast makes it ''hilarious'' to watch again.
* A throw-away gag in [[Berserk Abridged]] has two [[Strawman Political]] parodies arguing, which devolves into childish taunting, including the liberal one of the two calling the conservative parody a teabagger...this was made at the end of 2007, cue a certain political movement that appeared a year later.
* Early on, [[The Nostalgia Chick]] mocked the idea of [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]] with "[[Anastasia|Ah, animosity. It must be love!]]". Have a guess what her most [[Ship Tease|teased]] (het) pairing [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|consists of]] and [[The Nostalgia Critic|who it's with]]?
** Her desperation to see robots in ''[[Xanadu]]'' takes on a different, even more amusing meaning when she was made a [[Sex Slave]] robot who has to cater to her every whim.
** A video she made in high school about STDs contains a giant stuffed bear with AIDS having an affair with a 14 year old girl. Pedobear.
Line 72:
* In the 7th episode of ''[[Super Mario Bros Z]]'', the Seven Koopalings and Bowser Jr. appear together, the first time in any Mario related things this has happened. Almost a year later, ''[[New Super Mario Bros Wii]]'' comes out which has the first canonical game involving Bowser Jr. and the seven Koopalings being together...
* [[We Are Our Avatars (Roleplay)|We Are Our Avatars]]:
** Cyber Amy gave out gifts to [[User:Daionus The 23 rd|Dai]]'s characters. Meant to be tunics for the guys, and dresses for the girls. Too bad it was mistyped. What's so funny, though? Daisuke might as well be The Chick of the group, and is the only male member at the time.
** [[Azumanga Daioh|Osaka]] told [[User:Hilarity Ensues|Hilarity]] that he needed to become a god (you can guess the circumstances). Much, much later, Hilarity is the God of Order.
* [[The Irate Gamer]] did an episode about Kool-Aid Man video games. The parody [[Third Rate Gamer]] followed up with a "review" of Cool Spot, mocking the episode. Months later, IG reviewed Cool Spot.
Line 103:
* ''[[Three Panel Soul]]'' gives us [http://threepanelsoul.com/2008/09/22/on-sober-analysis/ Bernanke's description of the state of the economy] circa ''September 2008'' ([http://threepanelsoul.com/view.php?date=2008-09-22 inspired by a New York Times article]).
** Even more hilarious is how the comic's fictional Bernanke is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ79Pt2GNJo in such contrast to his real life counterpart].
* In a 1998 ''[[User Friendly]]'' cartoon where Irwin ended up in the computer system of the space station Mir, he said at one point "I can barely believe this thing stays up." Two years later, the station was decommissioned, deorbited and burned up in the atmosphere. Now, if anybody had been onboard at the time, this would be a [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]], but as nobody was...
** In [http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20091004&mode=classic this] 2009 Sunday strip, a [[Star Trek]] crossword has as #6 down, "Brain connection with fingers to face". The actual answer is {{spoiler|Vulcan mind meld}}, but considering what [[Face Palm|Captain Picard]] is now famous for...
* An ''[[Awkward Zombie]]'' animated short features the crew of the ''[[Myth Busters]]'' attempting to build a cannon out of duct tape in order to fire a pig. While the "cannon made out of duct tape" sounds like a [[Flanderized]] "silly Mythbusters build," the Mythbusters did a "duct tape" special much later. And guess what they ''actually'' built?
Line 113:
* [http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/990526 This] ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' comic is parodying ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', but it only gets funnier when you take ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'' into account.
** And this [http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/010917 2001 strip] wherein Torg and Riff need [[Noodle Implements|leiderhosen and pliers]] to party with Charlie Sheen, but Sasha tells them he's been sober for months, so they try to find Robert Downey Jr., a belt sander, and a Portuguese man-of-war. Over the next decade, guess which got his career back on track and which became a walking punchline?
* ''[[Doctor Horribles Sing Along Blog]]'': "The hammer is my penis." It just didn't turn out so well [http://spamusement.com/index.php/comics/view/90 the first time.]
* ''Metroid: Third Derivative'' had a number of sequences involving hordes of Zoomers walking around with a constant shout of "HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT". Since then, a ''[[Metroid]]'' game has been codeveloped by [[Tecmo]], the company responsible for ''Tecmo Bowl''.
** An earlier comic featuring Samus playing ''[[Tetris]]'' was made before her appearance in ''Tetris DS'' was announced.
Line 123:
* In [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/sweetbroandhellajeff/?cid=003.jpg this] ''[[Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff]]'' update, a [[Rouge Angles of Satin|typo]] renders "hot dog" as "hot god". This takes on a new meaning in ''[[Homestuck]]'', when {{spoiler|Jade reaches God Tier, fusing with Jadesprite and gaining dog ears in the process, [[Fan Nickname|to which fans have called]] "Dog Tier".}}
** Equius... {{spoiler|[[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim|took an arrow to the knee]]}}.
* Somewhere in December, FPS Russia releases a video showing him wrecking havoc with an L85A2 rifle. A couple days later, ''[[Battlefield 3]]: [[Expansion Pack|Back to Karkand]]'' is released. Guess what is the name of the Assignment needed to unlock the L85A2?
* Depending on your opinion, this may also qualify as a [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]] too: the endless promotion for a then-unknown [[
* ''[[Sonichu]]'' mentioned that he had a dream of seeing his creator with long hair in the mirror in one issue. Needless to say, this ended up coming true. [http://sonichu.com/cwcki/Tomgirl_Saga\]
* [http://xkcd.com/132/ This] ''[[xkcd]]'' is pretty funny ever since the release of ''[[Guitar Hero]]: Metallica''.
