7	----
8	* ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'': Fighter first came up with the concept of "sword-chucks" [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2001/08/15/episode-068-it-sounds-like-a-good-idea-to-me/ on August 15, 2001]]. Almost four years later, guess what Captain Ukitake of ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'''s [[https://ww3.readbleachmanga.com/chapter/bleach-chapter-156/ shikai resembles]]?
9	* [[http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=10282004 This]] ''Webcomic/{{Achewood}}'' strip starts off with Ray reading that scientists discovered Pluto was just a big piece of snow. "Ain't no planet at all!" Fast forward two years to when Pluto's status as a planet gets revoked for real...
10	* ''Webcomic/AnecdoteOfError'': Luntsha’s retort that Shimei and her group are just jealous that she and Atshi won’t date them, and their reactions thereof, become even funnier when Nishkose says that she actually would date Luntsha if she didn't have a girlfriend back home, meaning that she is either lesbian or bisexual.
11	* ''Webcomic/AwfulHospital'': With the advent of the "Everything is Cake" meme, the Old Flesh (which broke down and evolved to form the Perception Range) being represented by a birthday cake became quite a bit funnier.
12	* ''Webcomic/AwkwardZombie'':
13	** An animated short features the crew of the ''Series/MythBusters'' attempting to build a cannon out of duct tape in order to fire a pig. While the "cannon made out of duct tape" sounds like a {{Flanderized}} "silly Mythbusters build," the Mythbusters did a "duct tape" special much later. And guess what they ''actually'' built?
14	** Another Awkward Zombie comic has someone using a dog whistle that only Link can hear because he has huge ears; this was made before ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]''.
15	** "[[Franchise/AceAttorney Edgeworth]] [[http://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic1-121707.php is such a closet Steel Samurai Fan]]". A full two years later, ''VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigations'' comes out and that turns out to be ''precisely'' the case.
16	** [[https://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic/witless-stand This]] comic fits the trope in terms of the US release date of ''VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonVsAceAttorney''. In the comic, Apollo asks the judge for more chairs for the witnesses, who are all crammed into the one-person stand along with the defendant. In the aforementioned crossover, there's a long witness table in Labyrinthia's courtroom since you interrogate multiple witnesses at the same time.
17	* ''Webcomic/AxeCop'':
18	** [[http://axecop.com/comic/episode-3/ One issue]] has Axe Cop [[VideoGame/Portal2 burn Telescope Gun Cop's lab down with lemon grenades.]]
19	** [[http://axecop.com/comic/ask-axe-cop-46/ This "Ask Axe Cop"]] strip mentions Red Bull and jumping (into) space in the space of a few panels.
20	* ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'':
21	** The fact that Franchise/MegaMan can't duck or crawl, but instead do a completely useless slide is a RunningGag. In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', he not only can duck, but his slide actually counts as an attack.
22	** Some years ago, the sprite comic ''The Karnak Hates Everything Show'' made a [[http://bobandgeorge.com/comics/karnak/6 twisted song parody]] of Disney's "It's a Small World" (see comic #28). The opening lines in particular ([[CrapsackWorld "It's a world of hate and a world of pain! It's a world where mis-er-y pours like rain!"]]) became eerily accurate and appropriate out of context in late 2010 with the release of ''VideoGame/EpicMickey''.
23	* [[http://www.bucketfillers101.com/ "Bucket Filling"]]. Any ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' fan will be able to tell you why this is hilarious -- trolls use them for [[BizarreAlienReproduction reproduction.]]
24	* [[http://www.screencuisine.net/hlcomic/index.php?date=2006-02-15 This strip]] from ''Webcomic/{{Concerned}}'' was, according to the author's notes, written and posed "before [[IJustShotMarvinInTheFace our Vice President wounded an old man by shooting him in the face.]] Just a coincidence."
25	* ''Webcomic/CuantaVida'' has BLU Engineer getting [[ArtificialLimbs a new hand]]. Then the Engineer Update reveals [[http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Gunslinger the Gunslinger]] weeks later...
26	* ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'':
27	** The comic features an arc involving the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' craze. No biggie, but the arc ends with [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_017.php the death of the fad.]] Figures it would be the one late-'90s fad to NOT die within a year.
28	** A minor one, but the comic is currently on a Tue-Fri-Sun update schedule as of October 2010. Amber posted a comic with the tagline, "It's like a Friday cliffhanger, but on a Tuesday!" Then she got sick and couldn't update on Friday, so it was a Friday cliffhanger.
29	%%* ''Webcomic/HijinksEnsue'' had [[http://hijinksensue.com/comic/surface-tension/ this]] [[http://www.theverge.com/2015/9/9/9288241/apple-ipad-pro-announced-specs-price-release-date uncannily prophetic]] strip (right down to the ''time frame'', no less).
30	* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
31	** In [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/sweetbroandhellajeff/?cid=003.jpg this]] ''Webcomic/SweetBroAndHellaJeff'' update, a [[RougeAnglesOfSatin typo]] renders "hot dog" as "hot god". This takes on a new meaning in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', when [[spoiler: Jade reaches God Tier, fusing with Jadesprite and gaining dog ears in the process, [[FanNickname to which fans have called]] "Dog Tier".]] It should also be noted that that SBAJH strip [[http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40585720/SBaHJ%20Dates.htm predates]] all of ''Homestuck'' by nearly a month.
32	** Equius... [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim took an arrow to the knee]]]].
33	** Speaking of ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'', the troll alphabet is the Daedric one, only with the letters flipped upside down. Andrew has admitted that he just picked it at random from a website documenting fictional alphabets. It turned out to be a lucky pick - the Daedric alphabet is, in the games, used by the Dremora, a grey-skinned, horned, shaggy-haired ProudWarriorRace with a FantasticCasteSystem who hail from AnotherDimension. In other words...trolls.
34	** Dave's mini-ComingOutStory is both sad and an in-universe example of HilariousInHindsight, considering how Dave spent many years suffering from internalized homophobia due to his abusive, inscrutable, macho warrior of a brother ([[TransparentCloset who produced gay puppet porn]])... only to meet Dirk, the alternate universe counterpart of Dave's Bro, who is gay. Quote Dave:
35	-->'''DAVE:''' i think...
36	-->'''DAVE:''' there is a SLIGHT chance...
37	-->'''DAVE:''' i may be the biggest idiot in the world
38	-->'''DAVE:''' when it comes to understanding some things about my bro
39	-->'''DAVE:''' some pieces i never really put together
40	-->'''DAVE:''' about him
41	-->'''DAVE:''' until maybe literally right now
42	* ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic''
43	** A [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull crystal skull]] is mentioned in an early "Cliffhangers" (an ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' spoof) strip.
44	** [[http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/82.html Another]] strip parodied the "progression" from Darth Maul's double-bladed lightsaber in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' and Anakin's dual-wielding of lightsabers in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' with having characters draw quadruple, quintuple and septuple lightsabers...
45	--->'''David Morgan-Mar''': This comic was published over 2 years before ''[[Film/RevengeOfTheSith Episode III]]'' was released in May 2005. Need I say anything more than "General Grievous"? I'm ready for those royalties, George.
46	* [[http://markproductions.deviantart.com/art/Dad-A-Knight-Kirby-eats-a-Nintendo-Switch-662529661 This animated comic]] of a VideoGame/{{Kirby}} parody comic series shows Kirby eating a Platform/NintendoSwitch, and loving it, though he still thinks it's not as good as the Platform/NintendoGameCube. Shortly before the Switch's release, people started tasting Switch cartridges and they always say how terrible they tasted.
47	* ''Webcomic/KnightsOfTheOldCoding'' had Link [[http://kotoc.comicgenesis.com/d/20020514.html moonlighting as Spider-Elf]], complete with costume, during the second boss fight. Four years later in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendofZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]'', the Clawshots allowed Link to do the equivalent of web-slinging, if only to a limited extent.
48	* ''WebComic/TheLastDaysOfFOXHOUND'':
49	** The name of [[http://gigaville.com/comic.php?id=210 this]] comic was intended to be a ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' reference. Now that the official title of ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' has been announced...
50	** A RunningGag in the script is Psycho Mantis' utter refusal to believe in the supernatural [[FlatEarthAtheist despite ample evidence to the contrary]], up to and including the spirit of the Sorrow showing him the spirit world. In ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots Metal Gear Solid 4]]'' [[spoiler:Psycho Mantis' spirit was forcibly implanted into Screaming Mantis and when Snake defeats the latter, the former's spirit manifests and is eventually banished back into the grave by the Sorrow's spirit.]]
51	* In Creator/MaryCagle's {{journal\|Comic}} {{yonkoma}} ''Webcomic/LetsSpeakEnglish'', one of Mary's coworkers asks why she doesn't try to submit her work to a publisher and become a full-time mangaka; in an aside, she admits that she could never be a professional mangaka because she prefers having time to ''sleep'' -- mangaka typically have to deal with ''notoriously'' tight schedules. She later ended up being approached by Hiveworks to produce her own OEL manga series, with the title of -- wait for it -- ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain''.
52	* In an early storyline of ''Webcomic/LsEmpire'' one of the main characters was hypnotized into watching ''Franchise/MyLittlePony''. Aside from the fact that this was a little over a year before ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' came out, one of the authors is now a brony.
53	* Political cartoonist Matt Bors made a strip in 2013 against America's use of drones, with Malala Yousafzai telling President Obama that they fuel terrorism; a fake pundit responds she's wrong, as "one of them won a Nobel Prize, and one didn't." Guess who won the Nobel Prize the following year.
54	* ''Webcomic/ManlyGuysDoingManlyThings'': Commander Badass decides to not go as [[https://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/comic/trick-or-treat-have-a-comic-no-one-will-get Tywin Lannister]] for Halloween, citing that it's not worth shaving his head for a costume no-one will get. The [[Series/GameOfThrones TV adaptation of the series]], which was in pre-production when the comic was released, turned into a global phenomenon and made Tywin a household name.
55	* The [[http://www.megatokyo.com/strip/31 first]] Shirt Guy Dom {{filler}} for ''Webcomic/{{Megatokyo}}'' promises there will never be another one again. Compare with [[http://www.megatokyo.com/search.php?q=meta:Shirt+Guy+Dom this list]].
56	* ''Webcomic/MetroidThirdDerivative'':
57	** The comic was created well before ''[[VideoGame/MetroidPrime Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]'' was originally announced which eventually used some of the elements found in the comic. {{Lampshaded}} by [[WordOfGod Reynard]] in [[http://bobandgeorge.com/comics/metroid/411/1 a filler]].
58	** [[http://bobandgeorge.com/comics/metroid/138/1 An earlier comic]] featuring Samus playing ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'' was made before her appearance in ''Tetris DS'' was announced.
59	* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':
60	** Early on, there is ambiguity as to whether Sabine is a demon or a devil. She is later revealed to be a succubus. This was before 4th edition.
61	** An early [[FourthWallMailSlot viewer mail]] [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0121.html strip]] in which Belkar insults a class that he would [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0132.html later take a level in]].
62	%%* ''Webcomic/OzyAndMillie'': [[http://ozyandmillie.org/2002/11/05/ozy-and-millie-1023/ the punchline to this strip]]. Now reflect on [[WesternAnimation/AeonFlux who else]] has [[Film/TheDarkKnight said that.]] Let the WildMassGuessing begin!
63	* ''Webcomic/PowerpuffGirlsDoujinshi'' preceded ''Anime/PowerpuffGirlsZ''. Better yet, because the former is Filipino-made [[{{Animesque}} Manga-esque]] instead of actual Japanese anime, it is 100% {{Macekre}}-proof (ShesAManInJapan ''does not work'' when the anime in question has an American source material).
64	* ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'':
65	** Compare [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2002/06/21 this strip]] and [[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/6295138.stm this actual news article.]]
66	--> "We can categorically state that we [the British military] [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial did not release man-eating badgers]] into the local area."
67	** And this [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/1999/11/03 infamous strip]], whose mockery of the bogus release date for [[{{Vaporware}} Duke Nukem Forever]] was funny in 1999 when the game was a year and a half late, but only grew more so as the game grew two years, four years, eight years, ''nine years'', only to loop back around to HilariousInHindsight when a demo of the game, now out of development hell, was released at PAX.
68	** [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/8/23/ This strip]] became a lot funnier when a few years later Tycho actually did miss a portion of PAX due to the birth of his child.
69	** [[http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2009/06/03 This strip]] gets funnier when you realize how the reaction was for [[VideoGame/MetroidOtherM the Metroid game]] shown at [[UsefulNotes/ElectronicEntertainmentExpo E3]] ''after'' it was released.
70	** [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/8/11/ This strip]], considering ''VideoGame/SeriousSam HD'' and its Super Happy Funtime mode (also see the second ''ComicStrip/FoxTrot'' example in HilariousInHindsight/ComicStrips for more information) .
71	** There was once a comic involving DualWielding wands. In ''VideoGame/{{Torchlight}}'', you can do just that.
72	** [[https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2011/11/02 Their somewhat out-of-left-field reaction]] to ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'' is way funnier now that Bubsy is not only getting a new game but Sonic's own official Twitter account [[https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/872946127296897024 reacted to]] [[https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/872989607394025472 the news]]. On top of that, the new Bubsy game was announced while ''VideoGame/SonicForces'' was upcoming, and the latter game also features Modern and Classic Sonic-- so the comic could've plausibly taken place ''there'' instead.
73	** [[https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2000/05/03/bench-arcade This strip]] has a squirrel with a cigar and a T-shirt that says "Fuck you" getting turned down for ''Conker's Quest'', for not being "accessible" enough to kids. Eventually, ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay'' came out, and the squirrel probably would have fit right in there.
74	* The very existence of the webcomic ''Webcomic/PokemonX'' is much funnier after the announcement of the Pokémon games ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''.
75	* [[http://pvponline.com/comic/2002/07/09/tue-jul-09 This]] ''Webcomic/PvP'' comic from 2002. The characters were trying to figure out a way to get in on the retro 80s craze, and the only IP they could possibly secure was Franchise/MyLittlePony. They noted the impossibility of using it to appeal to nerdy guys. Flash forward to ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', and it becomes ItWillNeverCatchOn.
76	* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'':
77	** Early on, Marten makes a joke about Sven picking up hot lady physicists, to which [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=329 Sven asks if those actually exist]]. Some time later, [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=638 Raven starts making advances at him]]. Fast forward another 900 strips, and Raven has left to go back to school. [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1509 Guess what she's studying?]]
78	** [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2262 This comic]] where Martin, Angus, and Faye discuss Martin's comfort with his ex Dora dating Tai is a bit funnier now than it was at the time. Angus said to Faye, "I'm just saying, if you have to break up with me, at least [[GirlOnGirlIsHot leave me for a girl.]]" Pintsize followed with "Leave him for a robot. A [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs girl robot!]]" After Faye and Angus broke up, Faye's next romantic partner was Bubbles, who is in fact a girl robot.
79	* ''Webcomic/{{Rain\|2010}}'': [[LovableAlphaBitch Emily Caston]] has a lot in common with [[Characters/TheOwlHouseAmityBlight Amity Blight]], who debuted about a decade later. Both are introduced as mean preppy characters, but warm up and work to make amends after befriending the protagonist. [[spoiler:Both also learn to defy the parental pressure that made them meaner, and both end up dating said protagonists.]]
80	* ''Webcomic/RareCandyTreatment'':
81	** The Dexbusters' experiment concludes that Machamp can throw a thousand punches in half a minute instead of two seconds like its Pokédex entry says. In ''VideoGame/PokkenTournament'', Machamp's LimitBreak Dynamic Fury has it ''indeed'' throwing a thousand punches in two seconds!
82	** One comic shows a Mr. Mime acting loopy in a Daycare because it "never had a childhood", a reference to Mr. Mimes being unable to have Mime Jr. as offspring unless they hold an Odd Incense. This was changed starting in ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'' so that Mr. Mimes will always produce Mime Jr. Eggs even without the Incense, so the case for this particular Mr. Mime is more amusing.
83	* When the characters from ''Webcomic/RealLifeComics'' go to the future, [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/comic.php?comic=title-533 Mae Dean from 2001 asks Mae Dean from 2006 what the most important thing to happen in the following five years]]. Funny in 2001 because her response, that she'll hit her shin on an open drawer, [[WorstNewsJudgmentEver is ridiculous]]. Gets funnier [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/comic.php?comic=title-974 in 2003]], when she ''does'' hit her shin on the drawer. Becomes hilarious [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/comic.php?comic=title-1405 in 2005]] when she gets ''married''...
84	** An additional instance of this happens [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/comic.php?comic=title-2276 far more recently]] when Walt Disney is described as FanFic writer. The date of that comic: August 12, 2009. Less than a month later, [[Creator/{{Disney}} guess who's announced their plans to purchase]] [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse half of the comic book industry...]]
85	** Mae Dean, the woman who used to spend her entire food budget on ramen and thought "butter dipped butter" was a meal, has since graduated from a cooking academy.
86	** Mae Dean also [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/comic.php?comic=title-1001 was listening to]] ''Literature/TheHobbit'' on CD in 2003 because "[t]he way I figure it, having it read to me by an old British man is about the closest to [[Film/TheHobbit a Pete Jackson movie]] we're ever going to see of it."
87	* ''Webcomic/SandraAndWoo'':
88	** Landon's mom, Harriet, believed Larisa to actually be "a succubus that'll give birth to the antichrist". Fast-forward to the Divine Comedy arc: Larisa makes a deal with the devil to save Sandra and will become a succubus if she succeeds because it'll be a waste of her talents to be anything lesser than that. Jury's still out on the antichrist bit, though.
89	** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/12/15/0642-roundabout-iv/ This strip]], as of ''Friendship is Magic's'' final episode, which hints at [[spoiler:Applejack and Rainbow Dash becoming a couple, although [[MaybeEverAfter it was left vague if they did become one]].]]
90	* ''[[https://www.scary-crayon.com/ Scary Crayon]]'''s ''[[https://www.scary-crayon.com/features/dphell/ Dusty Plastic Hell]]'': In [[https://www.scary-crayon.com/dphell/2/ comic #2]] (made in 2004), a crippled [[WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower Hordak]] action figure laments that out of the two related shows, only [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983 He-Man]]'s series had made a [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse2002 comeback]] at the time. 14 years later, Hordak made a comeback after all in ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower''.
91	* ''Webcomic/{{Sheldon}}'': [[http://www.sheldoncomics.com/archive/080511.html This strip]] points out that Creator/MarvelComics has already made movies about their most iconic characters, and that now they'll have to make movies about "third-tier characters" like ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, ComicBook/DoctorStrange, and ComicBook/AntMan. Since this strip was published, [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger there have indeed]] [[Film/DoctorStrange2016 been movies released]] [[Film/AntMan1 about those characters]].
92	* ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'' had a 2006 plotline where [[LargeHam Galasso]] tries to convince his employees to sire a child with his daughter, so that he can have an heir to his "empire" of toy stores. [[http://www.shortpacked.com/comic/seed At one point]], he goes to Robin- a woman, mind you. After hearing Galasso's request to notify him "the instant you have achieved impregnation", Robin responds by saying she's "fairly confident that's impossible." Seven years later, thanks to Rosenthal's tech skills, [[spoiler: Leslie impregnated Robin.]]
93	* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'':
94	** [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/990526 This]] comic is parodying ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', but it only gets funnier when you take ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' into account.
95	** And this [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/010917 2001 strip]] wherein Torg and Riff need [[NoodleImplements lederhosen and pliers]] to party with Charlie Sheen, but Sasha tells them he's been sober for months, so they try to find Robert Downey Jr., a belt sander, and a Portuguese man-of-war. Over the next decade, guess which got his career back on track and which became a walking punchline?
96	* ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive:'' [[http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp04252005.shtml "You don't give yourself enough credit. I bet you're a lot sweeter than you admit. You're a nice person, and I bet, someday, you're going to be a caring husband and father."]] Davan's reaction is to laugh his head off, but two years later, [[http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp12192006.shtml we meet Rory]] - [[http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp01152007.shtml not his son,]] [[http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp05232007.shtml but when you see them together...]]
97	* ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'':
98	** Sonichu mentioned that he had a dream of seeing his creator, with long hair in the mirror in one issue. This ended up coming true, as the creator later came out as a transgender woman. Also, an author's note in Episode 20 says "I would rather suffer a painful gender-change operation than ever be a homo," and in Episode 21, [[https://sonichu.com/cwcki/File:SchuComic10P39.jpg Chris punches a guy for calling him "Madam Chrissy"]] while shouting "I am a man!"
99	** Also in Episode 21, Chris says that the "gene-like molecule" that makes a person gay was discovered in June 2015, and scientists developed a [[CureYourGays gay vaccine]] with the help of a time-traveling Chris. In June 2015 in real life, [[{{Irony}} a US Supreme Court ruling legalized same-sex marriage]].
100	** ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' would introduce Togedemaru, an official "Electric Hedgehog Pokémon". Also Sophocles, a major trainer with a Togedemaru, is named Chris or Chrys in multiple languages.
101	** Also, in the ''Sonichu'' sub-episodes (a series of LifeEmbellished stories about Chris' life), true love is supposedly illegal in Virginia because "Virginia is for virgins". In 2013, [[https://slate.com/human-interest/2013/07/ken-cuccinelli-the-republican-candidate-for-governor-in-virginia-wants-to-ban-oral-sex.html Virginia Republican gubernational candidate Ken Cuccinelli's platform included making oral and anal sex illegal.]]
102	** Chris destroys the [[Website/FourChan Four-Cent Garbage]] headquarters by playing a song about how ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' hasn't been good since [[Series/PowerRangersInSpace they killed off Zordon]], and they need to revive him and bring back the original cast. ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersOnceAndAlways'' did indeed bring the surviving members of the original ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' cast back together, ''and'' the plot is sparked by Billy attempting to revive Zordon.
103	* ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'': Part of the premise of the comic, which started publication in late 2013, is that Iceland was the first country worldwide to close its borders to prevent entry of ThePlague on its territory, and later spent an unspecified amount of time only letting TheImmune people travel in and out of the country. In early 2019, the real Iceland got a small measles outbreak from a non-vaccinated adult visitor. [[https://www.patheos.com/blogs/laughingindisbelief/2019/03/iceland-bans-unvaccinated-visitors/ A satirical article written soon after]] had Iceland react to the event by banning the entry of non-vaccinated visitors.
104	* ''Webcomic/{{Supermegatopia}}'': The comic's Green Lantern {{Expy}} is named Limelight, which is the name Green Lantern Jessica Cruz would take.
105	%%* ''Webcomic/ThreePanelSoul'' gives us [[http://threepanelsoul.com/2008/09/22/on-sober-analysis/ Bernanke's description of the state of the economy]] circa ''September 2008'' ([[http://threepanelsoul.com/view.php?date=2008-09-22 inspired by a New York Times article]]). Even more hilarious is how the comic's fictional Bernanke is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ79Pt2GNJo in such contrast to his real-life counterpart]].
106	* ''WebComic/TowerOfGod'': In a complete reversal of something that was HarsherInHindsight: On the 20th floor, Ja Wangnan has been loaning money from a LoanShark to take the tests to ascend to the next floor, never succeeding. He's desperate enough to take up a final offer of a loan where, if he fails and can't pay it back this time, he's to go on a "skeleton diet", meaning the Loan Shark is going to harvest and sell his organs. In spite of the BlackComedy involved, this is still quite serious... Except if you reflect back on it later when it has turned out Wangnan has a HealingFactor he didn't even know about that would probably have allowed him to survive it, which would surely have been incredibly confusing to everyone involved. In principle, he could even have made that deal and paid the price with his organs multiple times!
107	* ''Webcomic/{{Unsounded}}'': An IneptMage tries to attack Duane with a [[LimitedUseMagicalDevice pymaric]] that [[http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch02/ch02_30.html summons]] a huge spectral tentacle monster -- which turns out to be completely benign. Four chapters later, it's [[http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch06/ch06_37.html revealed]] to have been a Gentle Giant pymaric, on clearance from the Happy Tentacle {{Love Hotel\|s}}. Duane, fortunately, never learns that he was assaulted with a sex toy.
