* This [{Cracked}] [[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.

--> [[spoiler: "We can categorically state that we [the British military] [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial did not release man-eating badgers]] into the local area."]]
** And this [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/1999/11/03 infamous strip]], whose mockery of the bogus release date for [[{{Vaporware}} Duke Nukem Forever]] was funny in 1999 when the game was a year and a half late, but only grew more so as the game grew two years, four years, eight years, ''nine years'' ... indeed, it was a sad day for all when DNF [[AuthorExistenceFailure died with its developer]].
*** No, wait, it's still alive! And a demo was released at PAX, so this trope is still relevant!
** ''And'' [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/8/23/ this strip]] became a lot funnier when a few years later Tycho actually did miss a portion of PAX due to the birth of his child.

* In the first ''Decline [of video gaming]'' (a flash series that theorized what video games [[AdaptationDecay be like in the future]]), one game "featured" was ''MetalGearSolid 5'', where Solid Snake was an old wheel chair bound man, in real life ''MetalGearSolid 4'' features an old (but not wheel chair bound) Snake.
** [[spoiler:Well, technically, Naked Snake is an old man in a wheelchair in said game.]]

* ''SomethingPositive:'' [[http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp04252005.shtml "You don't give yourself enough credit. I bet you're a lot sweeter than you admit. You're a nice person, and I bet, someday, you're going to be a caring husband and father."]] Two years later, [[http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp12192006.shtml meet Rory]] - [[http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp01152007.shtml not his son,]] [[http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp05232007.shtml but when you see them together...]]

** [[{{Film/Spider-Man}} Indeed]].

* In 2006, the AngryVideoGameNerd made a video about confusing video game and movie sequel titles and mentioned how in the early 90's there were two ''MegaMan'' series, the originals and the ''[[MegaManX X]]'' series. He then said, "Now if only they made a Mega Man 9, it would come full circle."

* In a similar vein, when the NostalgiaCritic did his review of the ''SuperMarioBrosSuperShow'', he put his face on [[{{IndianaJones}} Indiana]] [[{{Expy}} Joe]], when he does he says "'''GIVE ME A FACE YOU BUNGHOLES!'''", not the exact quoting, but still.

** In the Silver Surfer review, the nerd mocked how [[OneHitPointWonder weak]] Silver Surfer was, comparing it to hypothetically showing Jackie Chan tripping over his shoelaces. Well, a few years later, we don't have Jackie Chan, but we do have Super Smash Bros Brawl, in which several bounty hunters, futuristic agents, Snake from Metal Gear Solid, and ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' trip over themselves once every few minutes (randomly), with absolutely no way to stop it or turn it off.

** Okami had already been released on the PlayStation 2 and met with great critical acclaim years earlier. It was also already heavily hinted, if not a poorly kept secret, that it was going to be ported to one or more Nintendo systems. [[SoYeah So yeah...]]
