* In ''Series/MooneBoy'' (set in the early 1990s) Martin's science teacher describes the solar system, mentioning for no particular reason that [[PlutoIsExpendable Pluto will always be a planet]].

** ''Film/TheMummyTombOfTheDragonEmperor'' has a scene where Rick and his son Alex compare their different guns. It includes a moment where the latter pulls out a PPS-43 saying that it is "future technology". In reality the gun's future was over almost as soon as it was adopted. The Soviets already invested heavily in the [=PPSh-41=] by that time and so the PPS-43 only has one-third as many built as its bigger brother and mainly issued to troops that needed a more compact weapon than [=PPSh-41=]. By the time of the film's setting (1946-1947) the was already out of production and in about 2-3 years the RedsWithRockets would adopt the now iconic AK to use as their standard-issue rifle which would become the most widely produced firearm peroid.

* In ''WebAnimation/NothingForever'', Kelly would often come up with zany inventions or schemes that she think will take the world by storm. Leo will then shoot it down nonchalantly.

->''"Kickstarter sensation, the UsefulNotes/{{Ouya}}, they're gonna make games for that thing for the rest of eternity! Mark my words, every game that comes out from now until the end of time will also come out on the Ouya. Gonna outlive Creator/{{Sony|InteractiveEntertainment}}, Creator/{{Nintendo}}, UsefulNotes/{{Coleco|Vision}}, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jose_Canseco Canseco]], Creator/{{Jaleco}}, all of the heavy hitters. Anyways, I can't wait to be playing Ouya games in fifteen years, or even, like, five months! Written in Sharpie on the bathroom wall of '''history!'''"''
-->-- '''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner''' discussing the UsefulNotes/{{Ouya}}

** In a later episode, Sheldon, having trouble choosing between buying an UsefulNotes/XboxOne or a UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, realizes that he has always picked the losing format. Along with the previously mentioned Zune, he also chose Betamax over VHS and HD-DVD over UsefulNotes/BluRay.

* In a case of SelfDeprecation by Creator/{{Nintendo}}, in ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion3'', Professor E. Gadd presents his latest and greatest invention, a holographic red headset he calls the [[UsefulNotes/VirtualBoy Virtual Boo (or VB)]], which he predicts will "fly off the shelves". The real "VB" (or Virtual Boy) was one of the biggest game console flops in history and lasted less than eight months on the market.

* In ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'', a running gag in "Marzipan's Answering Machine 17.2" (released on AprilFoolsDay in 2016 after a seven-year hiatus) involves Homestar gushing about various fads that came and went between 2009 and 2016, such as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planking_(fad) planking]], the UsefulNotes/{{Ouya}}, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Lin Linsanity]], and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Glass Google Glass]].

* In ''Film/{{Zodiac}}'', Jim Dunbar tells Melvin Belli he has seen the episode of ''[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Star Trek]]'' Belli appeared in, calling it (likely [[ProfessionalButtKisser insincerely]]) "excellent". Belli replies he has considered becoming an actor full-time. The episode in question, "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E4AndTheChildrenShallLead And The Children Shall Lead]]" is often considered to be one of the worst episodes in the entire ''franchise'', with a lot of the blame falling on the StuntCasting of Belli, a lawyer with no acting experience, as the villain, with the [[DullSurprise resulting performance you'd expect]]. Belli would continue to work as an actor but definitely ''not'' full-time and only in bit parts as lawyers and legal professionals.

* In ''Literature/TheDisasterArtist'', Greg Sestero wrote that, unsurprisingly, Tommy Wiseau thought ''Film/TheRoom'' would become an instant classic, winning him several Oscars, and be talked about for years to come. [[GoneHorriblyRight Well, in a way, it is a classic...]]
