* Creator/MarkPrindle ended [[http://markprindle.com/harvey.htm#dance his review of]] Music/PJHarvey's ''Dance Hall At Louse Point'' with a list of hypothetical Christmas albums by largely unlikely artists like {{Music/Slayer}}, Music/GGAllin, {{Music/Danzig}}, and Music/BadReligion... Three years after Mark retired from updating the review site, Bad Religion actually did release an album of Christmas standards. Additionally, Mark poked fun at the band's reputation for SesquipedalianLoquaciousness by suggesting the title ''[[LongTitle We Desiderate You A Saturnalian Yuletide (And A Convivial Neoteric 365 Days, 5 Hours, 49 Minutes, and 12 Seconds Of Mean Solar Time)]]'' - Bad Religion went with the much simpler ''Christmas Songs''.

::... [[Literature/{{Twilight}} nailed it]] (well, aside from being about ten years off), didn't he?

** At the end of his review for the film version of ''WesternAnimation/TheLorax2012'' after tearing the film a new one for [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks not following the original book and it's themes,]] he says that 'if Dr. Seuss had written his book as it plays out in this movie, it would have long been lost into the dustbins of history, which where this wrong-headed movie is very likely headed...' In December 2016, [[https://www.youtube.com/user/MrMrMANGOHEAD MrMrMangoHead]] gave the film quite the revival with a MemeticMutation version of 'Let It Grow' on par with [[Series/LazyTown We Are Number One]], leading to a series of snowclones similar to the latter.

** "[[http://www.platypuscomix.net/kidzone/comingtodvdnever.html Why you may never see some of your favorite childhood shows on DVD]]" has an offhand comment that NBC took so long to release ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' season one on DVD, that "...they'll never get to [[DorkAge the seasons nobody cares about]]." This took on a new meaning after NBC decided to stop releasing ''SNL'' complete season DVD boxsets after season five, the last one to include any of the Not Ready For Primetime Players as regular cast members.

** WereStillRelevantDammit takes its page image from ''Archie Comics''. In fact ''Archie Comics'' used to be the posterchild for an intellectual property that sticks around long after its time has past. However since then ''ComicBook/AfterlifeWithArchie'' rocketed them back onto the scene, and then ''Series/{{Riverdale}}'' far surpassed it in popularity; both used the fact that everyone knew the Archie characters and didn't expect any surprises as an advantage.

* In 2008, Website/SomethingAwful posted a front-page article which parodied a typical anime show's talk page at Wiki/TheOtherWiki. In particular, one "user" chided the other participants for thinking that the in-show credits were an acceptable source, saying that credits must come from Website/IMDb or somewhere similar. As of 2012, the actual credits in a film, TV show or video game are no longer considered acceptable sources for Wikipedia articles.

* Wiki/TVTropes:

** One of ''Website/{{Cracked}}'' Photolaspty entries features Wiki/TVTropes crossed with ''Website/{{Youtube}}'', creating Tropetube. Wiki/TVTropes now has a video feature, even showcasing mini descriptions, similar to the photo entry.

** 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 (in order of duration) ''Series/PushingDaisies'' (two seasons and critical acclaim), ''Series/{{Chuck}}'' (which made it to five seasons), ''Series/TheSingingBee'' (also five - one season on NBC, four on CMT), ''Literature/GossipGirl'' (six), ''Series/PrivatePractice'' (also six) and most notably ''Series/TheBigBangTheory''. A hilarious thing was they listed ''Series/{{Heroes}}: Origins'', which never aired because of the Writer's Strike.

* In May 2014, Franchise/TheMuppets' fansite [=ToughPigs=] reviewed every episode of ''Series/TheJimHensonHour'' for its 25th aniversary. The reviewers particularly liked the Bill Prady-scripted ''Miss Piggy's Hollywood'', and wondered why Prady was wasting his time on ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' when he could be writing Piggy getting into feuds with celebrities. A year and a half later, [[Series/TheMuppets that's exactly what he was doing]].

* In 2002, Creator/TheSportsGuy ended his retrospective on ''Series/TheKarateKid'' with "If they ever made a "Return of the Karate Kid" movie -- with a grown-up [=LaRusso=] opening a karate studio to compete with Cobra Kai, then getting picked on by his own students and eventually pulling Miyagi out of a nursing home to help him survive -- I would be the first person in line." Decades later comes ''Series/CobraKai'', where indeed "Daniel-san" opens a dojo to face against the one from the title, and that also got glowing approval from Bill Simmons.

** It feels jarring now to read [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/bored/tvguideads13.html this volume]] of "The Ancient Lost Art of ''TV Guide'' Advertising" and remember a short time when Peter would talk about ''Series/FreeSpirit'' without batting an eyelash, never mind [[SugarWiki/GushingAboutCharactersYouLike gushing about Winnie Goodwin]] or desiring to [[Webcomic/FreeSpirit2014 write better stories for her]].

* This [[http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=98087 article and discussion]] [[http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showpost.php?p=1493506&postcount=4 here]] seem hilarious considering ''Series/TheOnlyWayIsEssex'' has come on air, as of 2009, although it's equally a FunnyAneurysmMoment too -- as locality, and Essex FM, went in 2008.

* A running joke on the ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' site Pokemopolis is that Togepi is evil. An episode of the anime years later focuses on "The Worst Togepi Ever!" From their guide to the episode: ''"Look I don't mean to sound like a broken record here but I TOLD YOU I FUCKING [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons TOLD YOU ALL THESE THINGS ARE EVIL! EVIL! EVVIIIILLLLLLLL!!!!]]"''

* [[https://animesuperhero.com/forums/threads/would-band-geeks-make-a-great-movie.5205781/ This thread]] on [=AnimeSuperhero=] has a fan of ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' sharing their ideas for a movie that's a LiveActionAdaptation of the episode [[Recap/SpongebobSquarepantsS2E15TheSecretBoxBandGeeks "Band Geeks"]], but with normal humans instead of the [=SpongeBob=] characters. One part mentions that the film's version of the Sweet Victory scene would take place at the Super Bowl. In 2018, after Stephen Hillenberg passed away, [[https://www.change.org/p/nfl-have-sweet-victory-performed-at-the-super-bowl someone made a petition for]] Music/Maroon5 to sing "Sweet Victory" during the halftime show that gained a million signatures. While the Super Bowl only showed the scene that occured before the song to introduce Travis Scott, [[https://www.foxsports.com/southwest/story/watch-dallas-stars-give-fans-the-sweet-victory-spongebob-halftime-show-we-all-deserve-020419 the full song was played during a Dallas Stars halftime show that occurred on the same day as the 2019 Super Bowl]].

* In 2011, ''Roleplay/DarwinsSoldiers'' introduced a character named [[https://darwinssoldiers.fandom.com/wiki/ROSS ROSS]], a crime-solving rogue AI who devoted his time to defeating and exposing internet-based criminals. Four years later in the real world, IBM released [[https://www.forbes.com/sites/danielfisher/2017/02/24/college-students-use-ai-to-build-legal-research-firm/?sh=4754a9e924d9 ROSS]], the first artificially-intelligent digital lawyer. Looks like all that crime-fighting paid off!

** At the beginning of the ''WesternAnimation/SongOfTheSea'' [[http://duckyworth.deviantart.com/journal/Duckyworth-s-Thoughts-Song-of-the-Sea-2014-583605323 review,]] while lamenting about many modern animated films succumbing to the AnimationAgeGhetto (and those who find the ghetto acceptable), and praising those who avoid the ghetto, he feels that ''Norm of the North'' is going to suck as he sees from from the trailer. When the film came out in North America, it ended up getting a rare ZeroPercentApprovalRating from Rotten Tomatoes out of 36 reviews. For a double whammy, the critic consensus for the film says that it should only be shown "in case of parental emergency"... the opposite on what Duckyworth stated, which was to not show the kids those sort of films.
