* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''
** In "[[Recap/SouthParkS9E9Marjorine Marjorine]]", Butters is forced by the other boys to [[FakingTheDead fake his death]] as part of a plan to infiltrate the girls. His parents are grief-stricken, at which point a random old man suddenly shows up to try and convince Butters's Dad not to rebury him at an old Indian burial ground in a bid to [[CameBackWrong bring him back]]. Mr. Stotch wasn't even aware of the burial ground, so all the man did was give him the idea.
** In "[[Recap/SouthParkS2E2CartmansMomIsStillADirtySlut Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut]]" the doctor notes Mephesto should be fine as long as the power doesn't go out. When it immediately does, he adds "[[LampshadeHanging Who didn't see that coming a mile away, huh?]]"

** In "Squeaky Boots" just before [=SpongeBob=] goes to bed with his boots on, he says to Gary "these boots have changed my life. I’m never taking them off.", though the former's gonna have to some time. Sure enough, 8 seconds later Mr. Krabs appears and swipes them off.

* {{Subverted}} in ''WesternAnimation/CampLazlo'': One of the mini-shorts has [[ButtMonkey Simon]] raking a big pile of leaves and saying "I certainly couldn't imagine having to do that again."

* In ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'', after being retired from crime-fighting for a while, Artemis decides to return for a one off mission, even though her boyfriend (Kid Flash) is against it. She assures him by saying "What could possibly go wrong?" As if to gleefully laugh at the audience shouting "WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?!?", the scene immediately cuts to Artemis dying on that mission. [[spoiler: Actually subverted. The death was faked.]]

** Shortly before his interview with Fog in the opening episode, Rigodon says becoming Fog's butler will enable him and Tico to stop travelling and settle down. Rigodon and Tico's backstory involves them having travelled all over Europe as circus performers, but Rigodon is now seeking more settled employment for himself and Tico, so Fog (who has not travelled for years) seems like the ideal employer. Hours later, Fog returns home from the Reform Club with news that Rigodon [[note]]Fog doesn't know about Tico at this point.[[/note]] is to accompany him on a trip . . . around the world.

One guard remarks on the stolen egg, but his supervisor tells him not to worry -- "There's a ''billion'' in one chance of that egg hatching!" SmashCut to Mama Bravo cuddling the egg and saying that it's about to hatch.
