* On AprilFoolsDay 2012, [[Creator/AdultSwim [adult swim]]] made sure viewers know that they didn't just replace their block a taped airing of ''Creator/{{Toonami}}'' by referring to things that all happened between ''Toonami's'' cancellation and this pseudo-revival. TOM-3 acknowledged the FakeOutOpening suggesting a [[FourIsDeath fourth year of]][[RuleOfThree an April Fool's Day marathon of]] Tommy Wiseau's ''Film/TheRoom'' by quoting it and turning it off, one of the bumps for ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'' said [[UnwantedHarem Tenchi]] had [[Music/JayZ "99 Problems and these bitches are all of them"]], and the video game review was of ''VideoGame/MassEffect3''. ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' was the only active [adult swim] show aired that night, but new bumps were made for it as well, despite being dubbed after Toonami's cancellation. It was even the new episode advertised and TOM-3 did an ad for the next week's episode, to boot!

* 4chan has "Timestamp or GTFO!!", which is like this but with a hand-written date instead of the newspaper. Of course, people can handwrite any date they want.
* This is used to foil an attempted scam in [[https://notalwaysright.com/dont-commit-the-crime-if-you-cant-tell-time-2/72183/ a post]] of ''Website/NotAlwaysRight''.
