* ''{{Garfield}}'' likes to play with this trope. If someone says things can't get worse, they will (usually with Garfield warning [[GenreSavvy not to say it]]). However, if a character admits things could get worse, they get worse.
** [[http://www.garfield.com/comics/vault.html?yr=2011&addr=111215 In December, 15, 2011,]] Garfield told a spider that was under a mistletoe to forget it and that he'd rather kiss a dog. Odie then showed up.
* In ''The Order'', college baseball and track star "Calamity" James Wa was described on the cover of ''Sports Illustrated'' as "The Boy Most Likely to Succeed." And his nickname is "Calamity". He got into a car accident on the way to a state finals meet... and lost his legs. Keep in mind that James went into engineering instead of sports afterwards, and developed advanced prosthetic legs that made him a millionaire by the age of 22, so by all measures he ''has'' succeeded, but... it's not the same.
* In Issue 11 in the ''{{Transformers Ongoing}}'' comic Vortex hoped that the Autobots would show up so he could scrap them. Cue Optimus Prime plowing through the wall ramming him.
* ''USAcres'' [[http://www.garfield.com/usacres/vault.html?yr=2011&addr=111103 played with this trope]] when it was a beautiful day and Orson said even Lanolin couldn't ruin it. To prove him wrong, she yelled she had just washed her car. It started raining soon after.
