** When they set up the unification match for the WWE heavyweight titles in TLC 2013, one inscription on the engraved belt was the indication of a title that went back a hundred years - problem is, it doesn't. In truth, the Wrestling/{{WCW}} heavyweight title only dates back to January 1991. Both WCW and now WWE like to claim the history of the Wrestling/{{N|ationalWrestlingAlliance}}WA title, which does indeed go back that long,[[note]]Though even '''that''' is debatable, ''Pro Wrestling Illustrated'' only recognizes the lineage starting from when the NWA was formed in 1948[[/note]] but the two titles were separated after Wrestling/RicFlair was fired in July 1991 and signed with the WWF. WCW crowned a new ''WCW World Heavyweight Champion'' a few days later, but the ''NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship'' remained vacant until Wrestling/MasahiroChono won it in August of 1992. The NWA and WCW completely split in 1993 (with WCW keeping the [[MediaNotes/BigGoldBelt actual belt]], as they had owned it from the start, and the NWA reverting to the previous design) and the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship is still active, as of December 2023 Wrestling/EC3 holds the title. The belt at the event looked similar to the belt that represented the NWA title from 1986 to 1993 (and the WCW title from 1994 to 2001), but was only marking an eleven-year-old event; makes a better story, though.

** ''{{Fanfic/Nosflutteratu}}'': Why is Garlic Flank Stake armed to the teeth with anti-vampire weaponry? Ummm ... cosplay for a comic book convention!

** After having already inadvertently caused so much more torment towards Vernias more than anyone else in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0-QEytRZMk I quit Mario Party]]", [[TheGadfly Sophist]] decides to [[KickTheDog rub salt into the wound]] by posting a [=TwitLonger=] against Vernias once the game has ended, to which Vernias does not take lightly:

** After a ''horrible'' game of ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' for Vernias in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0-QEytRZMk I quit Mario Party]]", [[TheGadfly Sophist]], who has inadvertently caused more pain to Vernias than anyone else that session, decides to [[KickTheDog rub salt into the wound]] by posting a [=TwitLonger=] against him:
--->'''Sophist:''' "[[NeverMyFault He mean in Mario Patty :( I didn't do nuthin :(]]"\\

** In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7Wo-nM0UYE We Added a Wheel of Punishments to Mario Party]]", Vernias manages to visit the Boo on the final turn and has to choose whether Brent or Nick wins the game. But before he can even make the decision, Nick barges into Vernias' room and (jokingly) threatens to evict him if he chooses to let Brent win, as Vernias was living with Nick at the time. Once Nick returns to his room, he claims that he didn't do anything.

* In the ''WebVideo/BadCallTV'' episode "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oD87wCM4_TQ Up in Smoke,]]" the spokesman for Premiere Smokeless Cigarettes says that they are "100% safe, 100% clean, and make no compromises on taste." As it turns out, [[spoiler: they have a disgusting charcoal aftertaste, resulting in the spokesman taking a VomitDiscretionShot]]. Sadly, this is based on a RealLife advertising campaign that went horribly wrong.

* ''WebVideo/LifeSMP'': During Gem's Episode 6 on Secret Life, her task is to say nothing but lies for 30 minutes straight, so she does this when going to her XP farm.
-->'''[=GeminiTay=]:''' I really don't want thorns on my armor, so I'm going to hit these enderman– ''(she visits her zombie farm)'' –for a while. To make sure I don't get [[AttackReflector Thorns]] on my armor.

* In ''WebVideo/SMPEarth'', Deo tries to build an entity cramming trap in Quig's base, but Quig returned home in time to stop the trap, questioning Deo on his actions - to which Deo claimed that Tubbo had done it. This doesn't really work, since [=VoiceOverPete=] joins the call, asking Deo if he's giving Quig one of his "welcomes".[[note]]Deo loves to prank new players by killing them.[[/note]]
