** This trope becomes strangely meta when [[Team Fortress 2]]'s Heavy Weapons Guy is a character in [[Poker Night At the Inventory]]. Apparently, the Heavy experiences [[Team Fortress 2]]'s respawn system as a series of semi-recurring nightmares.
 
=== [[Visual Novels]] ===
* Early parts of ''[[A Profile]]'' joke about Masayuki's unathletic physique and easily running out of breath while running to school. But then it turns out he's so weak because he collapsed due to a hole in his lung and was hospitalized for a long time, leading him to become completely out of shape and ruining his love of the track field. After this, the jokes largely vanish.
* In ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'', Jessica [[Megaton Punch]]es one of her friends at school with a brass knuckle after being pissed off in ''Turn of the Golden Witch''. This stance is seen as a joke. Later, in ''Alliance of the Golden Witch'', she uses the brass knuckles again and they suddenly become conducts for [[Supernatural Martial Arts]].
* ''[[Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai!|Maji De Watashi Ni Koi Shinasai]]'': Most scenes involving {{spoiler|Touma, Jun, and Koyuki}} after clearing the Ryuuzetsuran path. Most notably, the ending of Chris's route is the only one where {{spoiler|Touma}} opts not to continue in their family's line of work and instead decides to "live for love", a choice that the Ryuuzetsuran route's reveals really puts into perspective.
* A lot are done in ''[[Hatoful Boyfriend]]'''s BBL route. Highlights include - Oko San isn't just an idiot, he's an older breed of birds that is less Uplifted than the others; Anghel [[Doing In the Wizard|isn't actually a fallen angel]] but has the ability to induce hallucinations in others; Ryouta's weak stomach and Oko San's insane speed are due to Shuu testing drugs on them; Nageki didn't actually kill himself by jumping from the library window due to being bullied (as was implied) but burned himself to death in an underground laboratory beneath the library to prevent himself being used as a biological weapon; and Kazuaki isn't just obsessively mourning the loss of the bird in the blacked-out photo, but is pursuing a Machiavellian [[Revenge]] scheme in his name.
