Harsher in Hindsight examples with celebrities passing is not allowed (unless it really is "Harsher in Hindsight", i.e. it foreshadowed how they were going to die).


** ''Everything'' about Kang and Homer at ''Series/TheJerrySpringerShow'', but perhaps nothing more than Maggie suffocating Jerry during his "Final Thought" segment while Kang punches Jerry, Homer attacks Kang, and Marge groans, "I'm so [bleep] embarrassed."
* HarsherInHindsight: Lisa mentioning that Jerry Springer is dead after Maggie, Homer and Kang attacked him on live TV. This stopped being funny after Jerry's passing in April of 2023.
