| 1 | * This sometimes happens in ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'' with the profiles of the characters. Newbies often try to cram in as many potentially useful skills as possible (such as survival training, firearm proficiency and martial arts. Made ridiculous when [[FridgeLogic you consider]] that the characters are ''supposed'' to be [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Ordinary High School Students]] |
| 2 | * In ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'', Kimo (the guy who always talks about his hair) mentions taking child grabbing classes. It comes in handy several times. |
| 3 | -->'''Kimo:''' Attention duelists! Those child grabbing classes were worth every penny! |
| 4 | * The {{Lets Play}}er LetsPlay/{{raocow}} discusses this trope with regards to TheHero hula-hooping [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kz1j1alkqFI&t=8m40s here.]] |
| 5 | * In ''WebVideo/DoomHouse'', Reginald P. Linux's ability to throw the doll, first demonstrated when he's trying to remove the doll from his new house, comes in handy later when he must fight [[spoiler: the terrorist]]. |
| 6 | * ''WebVideo/TheAutobiographyOfJaneEyre'': It's established in the first episode that Jane is a nurse, but she's pursuing a new degree and becomes a tutor. She also showed her competence when Mr Rochester had a minor car accident and sprained his ankle. Her nursing ability came ''really'' handy later in episode 13 "Crash" when Mr Rochester was mysteriously injured and was bleeding quite a lot. Jane fixed his arm real nice. |
| 7 | * During their altercation in a flashback sequence in Episode 2 of ''WebVideo/NightwingTheSeries'', Dick attempts to slug Bruce in the face, only for Bruce to block the attack and use a spinning counterattack that stops just short of Dick's neck; Bruce does this to prove his point that Dick's not yet ready to go solo. Nightwing later uses the exact same maneuver [[spoiler:to win his rematch with Deathstroke in Episode 5]]. |
| 8 | * OnceASeason on ''Series/CobraKai,'' Daniel or someone training under him is going to learn a seemingly insignificant move or technique that is invariably going to become the game changer near the end of the season. Well, he was ''Franchise/TheKarateKid,'' and he did learn WaxOnWaxOff, so it was a given. |
