* For a comedy series, ''VideoGame/SpaceQuest'' had a particularly vile one. In ''Space Quest IV'', Roger is tossed through time by his son, a battle-scarred fighter for LaResistance at the age of 19. Roger's home world of Xenon is a post-apocalyptic nightmare full of Sequel Police terminators, killer robots, and [[AndIMustScream any living being found given a lobotomy and having their eyes wired open]], run by a supercomputer corrupted by Roger's {{Archenemy}}. After Roger dispatches the Vohaul computer, his son says they had to go back in time in order to find "the only man who defeated Vohaul." That means Roger is stuck in a StableTimeLoop - he remembers what happened (as we see in Space Quest V), but he can't prevent the horrors he saw from happening...and Junior heavily implied that Roger and Beatrice both don't live to see him grow up.
* Another bit of FridgeHorror is in The Next Mutation where you realize that the CorruptCorporateExecutive has been regularly bribing Quirk to dump the mutagenic sludge. We saw the devastation it wreaked on Klorox II, but ''how many other planets'' did this stuff get dropped on? Even better is that a ship the size of the Goliath should have dozens or hundreds of crew members, but only a dozen or so are rescued...and there are puddles of sludge ''everywhere'' on the ship, indicating those are the crew's remains. Seriously, Two Guys, this is supposed to be a comedy?
