** Another was when [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0435.html an arrow dipped in an incredibly lethal poison]] was shot off in a random direction, and the fandom went wild with speculation as to which important character it would hit and kill. [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0436.html The very next comic]] showed the path of the arrow as it ricocheted around the battlefield, narrowly missing Roy and then Miko, before zooming squarely at Vaarsuvius... and being deflected by the ''protection from arrows'' spell s/he cast about 14 comics ago.

** After being returned to Green Lantern status after the ComicBook/SinestroCorpsWar storyline, many comic fans believed for various reasons that Kyle Rayner would become a Blue Lantern, at least temporarily. When he inevitably didn't (and the offer for leadership of the Blue Lanterns was extended to Hal Jordan instead), there was a minor internet backlash from parts of the fandom. When ComicBook/BlackestNight rolled around, there was a brief line wherein Guy Gardner mockingly suggested Kyle exchange his green ring for a blue one.

** In ''War of the Green Lanterns'', Kyle finally puts on a blue ring, and Ganthet takes a moment to tell Kyle what a bad idea that was. (He's not too happy with John, Hal, or Guy's choices either.)

* ''[[ComicBook/SecretWars2015 Secret Love]]'' has a big dance scene showing a bunch of popular [[FanPreferredCouple Fan-Preferred Couples]], including some [[HoYay Ho Yay/Les Yay]] ships that would otherwise never be shown in an official comic. These include: [[ComicBook/XMen Charles Xavier]] and ComicBook/{{Magneto}}, [[ComicBook/MsMarvel Captain Marvel]] and ComicBook/SpiderWoman, [[ComicBook/MsMarvel2014 Kamala Khan]] and [[ComicBook/AllNewGhostRider Robbie Reyes]], [[ComicBook/YoungAvengers Kate Bishop and America Chavez]], ComicBook/CaptainAmerica and Natasha Stark (a RuleSixtyThree version of [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]] from an AlternateUniverse), ComicBook/SheHulk and ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}, and a prominent shot of [[ComicBook/YoungAvengers Prodigy and Speed]] straight-up making out.

* In the ''Series/{{Community}}'' episode "Paradigms of Human Memory", the Gravity shipping video between Jeff and Annie was inspired by a video of the same two characters and song uploaded to Website/YouTube after Debate 109.

** For Will Ryan ([=DAGames=]) and WebVideo/{{Jacksepticeye}}, they even got the PromotedFanboy treatment, as they voice minor characters in the game.

* [[http://starslip.com/2008/01/28/starslip-number-705/ This]] ''Webcomic/{{Starslip}}'' strip was posted shortly after someone commented on the forum that the monster from ''Film/{{Cloverfield}}'' looked like a Cirbozoid.

** The character of [[EnsembleDarkHorse Derpy Hooves]] originates from a [[FunnyBackgroundEvent background joke]]/animation error from the first episode, which the fans [[MemeticMutation immediately latched on to.]] "Feeling Pinkie Keen" not only re-crossed her eyes, but worked her into a {{slapstick}} gag that reinforced the fan interpretation that she is [[TheKlutz clumsy]] and [[TheDitz ditzy.]] "The Last Roundup" elevates her FanNickname to official canon, much like DJ Pon-3's was, and draws even further from her fanon personality.

* Right before ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'''s GrandFinale movie, MTV played a marathon of every episode, some of which had new short intros where [[TheSnarkKnight Daria]] and [[CoolLoser Jane]] address the audience (these are available on the [=DVDs=]). In a few of them, the characters hint at [[HoYay the popularity of pairing them together,]] including one where they're dressed as a bride and groom and another where Jane says she could draw Daria nude from memory.
