** Later played straight when Sara teams up with Rich (and blackmails Martin) to take charge of the "drama" on her reality show, rather than becoming its victim.

{{quote|'''Sonic:''' What's the plan?
'''Wily:''' Get us out of here and we'll let you know.
'''Mega Man:''' Why, you don't want to tell us now because [[Lampshade Hanging|if you say it on panel, it won't work as planned?]]
'''Robotnik:''' No, because if we tell you now, {{spoiler|Doppleganger}} will overhear it and won't ''let'' it go as planned. }}
** Also note [https://web.archive.org/web/20170601085246/http://twoevilscientists.smackjeeves.com/comics/60329/more-than-just-a-crush-pt-1/ these] [https://web.archive.org/web/20170601085251/http://twoevilscientists.smackjeeves.com/comics/60330/more-than-just-a-crush-pt-2/ two] strips and the commentary on the latter.
* Played straight and inverted in at the end of Act 5 of ''[[Homestuck]]''. {{spoiler|Rose}}'s plan, which had been discussed at length, goes about as awry as it's possible to go, whereas {{spoiler|Jade}}'s plan, which had been arranged mostly off-screen, succeeds better than anyone had hoped (despite some minor complications). However, {{spoiler|WQ}}'s plan, the most mysterious of the three by far, is quite firmly dashed by outside circumstances. To clarify:
** Rose's plan was {{spoiler|to fly Derse's moon and the Tumor to the Green Sun using her dreamself, using the Tumor to destroy it. Instead, both she and Dave died and transferred to their dreamselves. Then DD attacks a defenseless Rose while she's trying to fly away unnoticed. Finally, both she and Dave get the Tumor to the place it's supposed to be, only to discover that the Tumor isn't what destroys the Green Sun, it's what created it in the first place. It's not all bad, though; Rose and Dave got God Tiers out of it, and the Green Sun is now powering two of the heroes as well.}}
