16* ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatiansTheSeries'': Cadpig refers to Spot's "ugly Swiss bell-ringing incident" in "The Maltese Chicken".
17* The pilot episode of the short-lived Creator/{{MTV}} series ''3South'', Cindy (Sanford's sister) visits her brother in his new dorm. Upon seeing Joe's skeleton for anatomy class, she yells, "What are you doing here? I thought I killed you!"

21* ''WesternAnimation/TheAddamsFamily1992'': In "NJ Addams", Norman Normanmeyer refuses to let Pugsley take his son NJ's place in assisting the Normanmeyers on the current week's Underwear Day because of Pugsley's pet gibbon doing something to the underwear cupcakes that were made on last week's Underwear Day.
22* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'':
23** At the beginning of "Lights, Camera, Danger", the main characters reminiscence about Jimmy's attempts at creative writing. When Sheen mentions Jimmy's opera, FlashbackEffects are cued, then promptly stopped as the other characters do not want to go there.
24** In "Operation: Rescue Jet Fusion", when Jimmy is called into the Principal's office [[spoiler:(actually a fake message to get him called onto a secret mission)]], he wonders why he's being called in.
25--->'''Jimmy:''' Maybe he found out about my cafeteria food enhancer, or the recess extender, or that time I freeze-dried Coach Gruber.
26** In "Granny Baby", Judy chides Jimmy about not performing experiments on his grandma, citing the time he made her magnetic. We see a flashback of her getting stuck against a bus as she was leaving, but no further details.
27** In "Men at Work", Jimmy mentions that he keeps gold buried under his lawn in case Hugh gives all of the family's money to telemarketers again.
28** In "The Incredible Shrinking Town", it is mentioned that Hugh got his head stuck in a trash compactor at least 19 times.
29* At the beginning of the ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'' episode "Robotnikland", Scratch and Grounder notice that Dr. Robotnik has eaten eggs for every breakfast for the last 10 years, so they decide to surprise him with something different. Scratch pushes the presentation on Grounder, who complains that the last time he surprised [[BadBoss Robotnik]], the latter demoted him to [[GeniusBonus yacht]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boat_anchor_(metaphor) anchor]] for a week.
30* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'':
31** Finn and Jake seem to always be coming from or going to an adventure. The story sort of implies that they are constantly adventuring, whether or not the "camera" is following them. In fact, some episodes deal with the duo struggling with a situation that is preventing them from adventuring.
32** Also, the origin of Finn's AutoTune voice.
33--->'''Jake:''' Hey, man, how do you sing like that?\
34'''Finn:''' Remember when I swallowed that little computer?
35** In "Hot To The Touch", Finn compares Flame Princess to a puppy looking for ham in the snow, and Jake complains [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten "Guy drops one piece of ham in the snow, and he NEVER hears the end of it!"]]
36** Many incidents, such as Marceline's dad stealing her fries, [[ResolvedNoodleIncident do eventually get explained]] by the time the show ends.
37* ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries'': One episode has MadScientist Mechanicles tricking Genie into a ship-in-a-bottle so he can trap him in it.
38-->'''Genie:''' I can't believe I fell for the old "ship-in-a-bottle" trick again!
39** Also ''"It reminds me of the time we were stranded off the coast of Madagascar... ''
40* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'':
41** In "The Responsible", the bill that Richard and Nicole are given for the damages that Gumball and Darwin did to the school apparently included them setting the swimming pool on fire, which Nicole [[HowIsThatEvenPossible questions how is even possible]].
42** In "The Pest", Gumball admits that he put stones in Anais' pockets when she was a baby to keep her from growing taller than him, which somehow led to her being medically classified as a cephalopod despite being a rabbit.
43** In "The Heart", in an effort to win back Gumball and Darwin's love for him after [[BrokenPedestal they heard him insult them]], Mr. Robinson decides to give them some of his childhood toys. One he picks out is [[MyLittlePanzer a functioning atomic energy kit]] that explodes when dropped, and the resulting explosion lands him in jail when it somehow constitutes 14 international peace agreement violations.
44* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'':
45** After a novelty-sized watch on a necklace protects his heart:
46--->'''Stan:''' For the second time in my life I've been saved by hip-hop... *[[AsideComment Turns to the camera]]* But that's another story..."
47** When Hayley returns from being sabotaged by Stan:
48--->''[Hayley appears holding a bloody pickaxe, wearing torn clothing and a shackle on her ankle]''\
49'''Stan:''' ''[gasp]'' You escaped the Pit of No Return?! How'd you get past my-\
50'''Hayley:''' They're all dead, Dad.\
51'''Stan:''' [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith Even the younglings]]?\
52'''Hayley:''' [[NemeanSkinning I made you a wallet out of their hides]].
53*** This is done again in the following episode when Hayley escapes being trapped in the basement:
54---->'''Hayley:''' Hello father! Wondering how I escaped from the basement?\
55'''Stan:''' No, not really.\
56'''Hayley:''' Oh. ''[beat]'' ...but it involved training rats.
57** In "Four Little Words", Stan recalls the four times Francine said "I told you so" to him via brief, inexplicable flashbacks. The first involves a double bus crashed into their garage and Stan dressed in a Queen's Guard uniform. The second involves their swimming pool on fire. The third involves Stan playing chess with a chicken (and losing). The fourth shows two guys hanging to death after trying out Stan's "Xtreme Bungee Xperience".
58** When a future, cyborg version of Stan comes to the present to win back Francine, who is dead in his time, he comments that the last time he saw her was in the electric chair: "You were so tired... You had been running for so long..."
59** In "Old Stan of the Mountain", Stan gets a curse placed on him when he insults an old person, turning him into an old person himself. When he learns his lesson in the end, instead of turning back to normal, he [[ColorMeBlack becomes a black man]].
60--->'''Hayley:''' Alright, Dad, think. What was the last interaction you had with a black person?\
61'''Stan:''' It was at the T-Mobile store and it was ''not'' positive.
62** In "1600 Candles", we get this gem when Steve is confronting Francine at breakfast over [[FountainOfYouth turning him into a toddler]]:
63--->'''Steve:''' ''(pulling down his pants to reveal that he's lost his pubic hair)'' It's gone! My one man-hair is GONE!\
64'''Hayley:''' Can we have one family meal without someone flashing their genitalia?
65** Granted, he flashes them once in the beginning to show off his one pubic hair as a sign of his hitting puberty, but they aren't eating at the time, so it's possible this behavior during meals is par the course for the Smiths.
66** Earlier in the same episode, Francine mentions that she's been to prison. For what, we don't know.
67** In "Moon Over Isla Island", Steve mentions a classmate named Chad who died under mysterious circumstances. The details aren't shared, but apparently, Chad was beloved for some reason to the point another kid keeps trying to pretend he's Chad.
68* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'':
69** In "The Domino Effect", Hop Pop rambles on and on about the Plantars' last pet, a spider named Charlie Bigbottom.
70** [[AxCrazy General Yunan]] keeps bragging about being the "scourge of the sand wars" and the "defeater of Ragnar the Wretched". The details of these events are unknown, but she got medals for both of them. The medal imagery suggests that the sand wars involved pyramids, and that she killed Ragnar the Wretched.
71** At the end of the episode “Combat Camp,” when the kids are covered in bruises after the train robbery incident that preceded, Hop Pop and Bessie come to pick them up, also covered in bruises. Apparently, during their trip to the crop convention, they were swarmed by killer locusts.
72** The episode “Civil Wart” is about the entirety of Wartwood [[SillyReasonForWar waging war on each other]] over an {{In Universe}} ShipToShipCombat. However, once the war is over, the townspeople act as if it never happened. According to Hop Pop, the residents wage war on each other all the time, such as with last year’s “Almonds vs. Avocados” debate.
73* ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'':
74** From the pilot: "After the lying, and the cheating, and that thing with the mayonnaise-"
75** In "White Elephant", [[spoiler:ISIS gets shut down by the FBI]], which Mallory describes as her "second worst birthday ever":
76--->'''Archer''': Wha- ''how is this better than your second fake fiftieth?''
77** "Legs":
78--->'''Pam''': Just like Fourth of Ju-Luau!\
79'''Cheryl''': Yeah, if you slid a pig under him.
80** Whatever it was Lucas Troy did to Archer while he was unconscious in "The Wind Cries Mary". While it's blatantly implied Lucas raped Archer, the exact details aren't shared. We do, however, get to see Archer's completely blank expression, coupled with Lana and Cyril's horrified reactions as they drive home implying Lucas did something unspeakably horrible.
81* The premise of ''WesternAnimation/AtomicPuppet'' is based on one. All we know is that Captain Atomic was turned into a living sock puppet by his disgruntled ex-sidekick Mookie and then he met Joey Felt and teamed up with him when it turned out Joey could reactivate his former powers. Otherwise, the details are very vague ("It's a crazy story, really."); though it apparently involved Joey shaking hands with Captain Atomic.
82* ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble:'' Hawkeye practically collects these like baseball cards. To wit:
83** Using Tony's [[PricelessPaperweight arc reactor to make popcorn]].
84** That time he stole Fury's eyepatch (which prompted a 'That was you?' from Black Widow).
85** Whatever it was that happened in grade school. And prom as well.
86** The...thing that happened in Tokyo with Black Widow. And the ''other'' thing that happened in Toyko.
87** That time Captain Marvel saved him from barbarians in Helsinki. Twice.
88** His worst weekend in Vegas and how it manages to top fighting armored {{mooks}} and a robotic hydra.
89* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'':
90** An example where the incident actually happens just offscreen: Early on in "The Warriors of Kyoshi", Katara runs off screen yelling "No, Appa! Don't eat that!" We never find out what exactly Appa was trying to eat and our only clue is the sound of trees being pulled up.
91** The story behind the Zhang/Gan-Jin feud.
92** When Zuko and Jun visit the herbalist, she asks her cat, Miyuki, if she got into trouble with the Fire Nation "again;" what exactly the cat did, nobody except the herbalist knows.
93** The Blubber Incident that Hakoda and Bato thought up (mentioned in "Bato of the Water Tribe"), the details of which we never learn.
94*** Hakoda and Bato apparently had several weird adventures together, none of which we hear much about except that they're supposedly [[HilariousInHindsight much funnier now than they were at the time]].
95** We learn in "The Deserter" that Sokka once got two fishhooks stuck in his thumb because he tried to get the first fishhook out with another fishhook... but how did the first one get in there?
96** Iroh's journey to the Spirit World. Though it is implied that he was trying to find Lu Ten to bring him back to life.
97** According to Zuko, the Ember Island Players butchered ''Love Amongst the Dragons'' every year. Given what we see of ''The Boy in the Iceberg'', it can't be good.
98[[/folder]]

100[[folder:B]]
101* ''Franchise/Ben10'':
102** ''[[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Alien Force]]'': In "Fool's Gold", while explaining what happens when his species eats meat, Orb says, "[[OnceGreenMars Ever wonder what happened to Mars]]? It used to be called The Popcorn Planet."
103** ''[[WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien Ultimate Alien]]'': It's never made clear what happened between Paradox and the Celestialsapiens. Whatever it was, it pissed off the entire Celestialsapien race so badly that they issued a restraining order against Paradox, barring him from coming within 500 light years of the species, and killing him on sight is the one thing both split personalities of Ben's Celestialsapien form "Alien X" will immediately agree to do. To illustrate how significant this is, Alien X's personalities haven't even reached an agreement on whether or not to save the dinosaurs.
104* ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens'':
105** Community Sue won trophies in '95, '96, and '98. She's not talking about what happened in '97 and doesn't want anyone asking.
106** Gramma Alice buried all of her toys in her yard, complete with mini tombstones. But she doesn't know who keeps leaving the flowers.
107** Nancy once dropped Tillie off at the house with Tillie mentioning how quickly a fire could spread. Nancy asks that Tillie not mention it to her dad.
108* ''WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}'' mentions how Chili once made a clown cake, and everyone shudders.
109--> '''Bluey''': He was '''not''' a funny clown.
110* ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'' has Linda reflect on the time she got Gene a fish to see if he was mature enough for a pet dog.
111-->'''Gene''': I was not!\
112'''Linda:'''''(with ThousandYardStare)'': That poor fish.
113** "The Quirkducers" features Linda mentioning the time Bob tried to throw away a piece of toast which looked like it said "Wow."
114--->'''Teddy''': That was a dark day.
115** Linda's questionable ability to poop anywhere gets mentioned a few times, from the time she pooped in a bucket ''at a wedding'' because there was a line for the bathroom and when she pooped in a convertible. She considers the latter to be the second worst thing she's ever done (the first being when she and her sister smashed all the pumpkins in a pumpkin carving contest; Bob disagrees about the ranking).
116* In ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'', Huey uses this as a reason to not go to the movies with Riley and Granddad.
117-->'''Huey:''' I don't ever wanna go to the movies with you again. Not after what happened last time.\
118'''Granddad:''' What happened last time?\
119'''Huey:''' We got arrested... and ''shot at''!
120* ''WesternAnimation/BumpInTheNight'':
121** In "When the Music Starts", Bumpy sees that Squishington isn't in the mood to play in a band with him and their friend Molly. He asks Squishington if he is still mad about the time he put broccoli in his underwear.
122** In "Made in Japan II", Molly strongly voices her disapproval of Bumpy giving a tour for Little Robot, bringing up that the last time he played tour guide, he caused the Lithuanian Fly Casting team to be deported and created an international scandal.
123--->'''Bumpy:''' Yeah, well I didn't know those flies were on the endangered species list
124[[/folder]]
125
126[[folder:C]]
127* ''WesternAnimation/CampLazlo'': When Lumpus takes the scouts into town to eat after their chef falls ill, he reminds them of the last time they went into town. Apparently, the Jelly Beans blew something up, but we don't see what it was or how they caused it, just the mushroom cloud.
128* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'': In "[[Recap/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteersS1E6TheConqueror The Conqueror]]", Gaia says that [[BigBad Zarm]] once was the Spirit of Earth, like herself, but "left in search of other worlds". We never find out what exactly happened that resulted in him leaving the Earth and seeking revenge on Gaia.
129* In the unsuccessful pilot ''[[WesternAnimation/CaptainSturdy Captain Sturdy: Back in Action]]'', it is mentioned that Captain Sturdy is still haunted by an incident where lives were lost because of a pair of super small size underwear being mysteriously labeled as size extra large.
130* In the ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsWelcomeToCareALot'' episode "Lazy Susan", one of the pictures of the Bears' previous picture day has Funshine pulling on the tail of a goat while the other bears are fleeing, then followed by another of him lounging at the beach, ''piña colada'' in one hand, with a rather happy looking goat. No context or explanation for the latter picture was given.
131* In ''WesternAnimation/Castlevania2017'' episode ''[[Recap/Castlevania2017S1E4Monument Monument]]'' Alucard admonishes Trevor that they're not in a bar fight, implying [[TheComicallySerious Alucard]] has actually ''been in one''.
132* There was this from an episode of ''WesternAnimation/CelebrityDeathmatch'':
133-->'''Johnny Gomez:''' ''(picking up the phone)'' Hello, Deathmatch.\
134'''Nick Diamond:''' ''(quietly)'' If that's the ASPCA, I'm not here.
135** During the Music/{{Pink}} vs Music/{{Mandy|Moore}} fight.
136--->'''Johnny''': Look out! Mandy Moore's used her gigantic white teeth to fashion a lollipop shiv!\
137'''Nick''': Y'know, that's exactly what kept me alive in Attica.\
138'''Johnny''': What?\
139'''Nick''': Well that, and the fact I was a very good dancer.
140* ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'':
141** When Monterrey Jack goes to see if Geegaw Hackwrench is in, he expresses mild concern that Geegaw might still be mad about... something that happened in Zanzibar involving cheese bread. The Zanzibar Incident is one of the series' biggest CanonFodder supplies because of what little insight it gives the audience into Monty's past and that of Gadget's father.
142** Monterrey Jack is full of these.
143---> '''Monty:''' This reminds me of the time I got shanghaied in Shanghai on a junk full of junk. I think that happened twice!
144** In "Catteries Not Included", Monterrey Jack shows reluctance in getting in the Ranger Plane after "the last time".
145--->'''Gadget:''' Oh, Monty, how many times do you think the wings can fall off an airplane?\
146'''Monty:''' I dunno, you tell me.
147* From ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}'': "That was the ''craziest'' episode we've ever had!" No, we didn't see it. In fact, that happened twice in the same episode.
148** In "Sing Beans", Shnitzel tells an apparently dirty joke. The man said that the joke "involved a bucket of fish and a tiny sailor" and that's all we get to know. Also in that same episode, it was shown that an incident involving Tooty-Pooty Beans resulted in the gang being chased by an [[TorchesAndPitchforks angry mob]]. Mung commented on how that day "began so hilarious yet ended very badly".
149* ''WesternAnimation/ClerksTheAnimatedSeries''
150-->'''Dante:''' Hey, it's Ted Danson.\
151'''Randal:''' It's payback time.
152* ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'':
153** Jim, the gym teacher, is a man of Noodle Incidents. He'll frequently exclaim, at some weird event, "Oh! This reminds me of the time I [some incredible activity or profession]!" Whenever one of the other characters asks him about it, though, he'll just reply with a muted, [[CatchPhrase "I'd rather not talk about it."]] The show makes fun of this at one point before a skateboard competition when Odd guesses that Jim's knowledge of Skateboarding was something he'd "rather not talk about it?" to which Jim replies "Actually, I'd love to! But I don't have time right now." Another occasion happens where Jim is about to talk about an event, but a downtrodden Odd says, "Maybe some other time." Confused, Jim says, "For once, I would've rather talked about it."
154** Jim is actually [[ADayInTheLimelight the main focus]] of an episode titled "I'd Rather Not Talk About It" in which he actually ''does'' talk about it.
155** In the flashback episode "XANA Awakens", Jim (who is teaching a martial arts class) tells a rather embarrassing and not-so-awesome story about fighting a beaver... at which point Ulrich takes a moment to poke fun at the RunningGag, saying, "Maybe you shouldn't talk about that one." Though by courtesy of the series' ResetButton, that incident is not the start of the gag.
156** In one episode, Odd has been firmly ordered by Ulrich and Yumi never to mention "what happened at the swimming pool" (which may or may not refer to [[KissOfLife an incident]] seen on-screen), and by Jérémie and Aelita never to mention "what happened in the gym," which still remains a total mystery. The same episode includes the moniker "Big Fat Cheesehead", an unexplained "private joke" between Aelita and Jérémie.
157** The only time Jérémie entered the virtual world (rather than being stuck as MissionControl Guy) was never shown, but was apparently very funny to everyone else.
158* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'':
159** According to "Operation: F.O.U.N.T.A.I.N.", the one time Numbuh 5 let the Delightful Children from Down the Lane oppress a kid, they made Numbuh 1 bald, ''permanently''. No one knows exactly how this happened, but Numbuh 5 felt so guilty that she stepped off her role of Sector V leader. Even the otherwise very abrasive Numbuh 86 gets very solemn when the incident is mentioned.
160** Whenever Numbuh 5 meets up with Heinrich Von Marzipan, such as when she tries to rescue a bunny from a chocolate volcano death sacrifice [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom in a cage]] in "Operation: R.A.B.B.I.T.", he's bound to mention "that incident in Guatemala". That one was eventually explained in Heinrich's last appearance in the show in the episode "Operation: C.A.R.A.M.E.L. [[spoiler:Turns out he and Numbuh 5 enacted a ritual that turns a person's prized quality into Sacred Golden Caramels. Heinrich's prized quality was that ''she'' valued her beauty, but was turned into an ugly boy as a result. Heinrich got greedy with the candy and nearly ate them all, while Numbuh 5 seemingly abandoned him, leaving him in his male state. He blamed her for the incident ever since. It turns out, however, that Numbuh 5 was looking for a cure for the ritual and had managed to save the last of Heinrich's caramels, which he needed to willingly give away in order to break the curse, and in doing so, he turned back into ''her'' real self: ''Henrietta'' Von Marzipan.]]
161** "Operation: A.W.A.R.D.S." has Numbuh 1 stressing to get the team to successfully pull off an upcoming mission to make up for an earlier failed mission, "Sector T is still trying to get that rubber cement out of their hair."
162** In "Operation: L.I.C.O.R.I.C.E.", Numbuh 5 asks Stickybeard where Heinrich Von Marzipan is and Stickybeard replies that he's probably gotten in trouble with the Marshmallow Mayans again.
163* ''WesternAnimation/CraigOfTheCreek'': When J.P. injures his leg while pretending to be a horse, Melissa of the Horse Girls picks up a broom and says they need to put him out of his misery "like in the movies." Marie stops her, and for added measure says "Melissa, no. Not again."
164* ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic'':
165** Jay mentions [[Film/{{Deliverance}} an ill-conceived canoe trip through hillbilly country]].
166** In ''A Day at the Races and a Night at the Opera'', Jay worries that he'll fail as a father, "Just as I did as a husband, and a son, and a Navy SEAL, and an [[Series/AmericanGladiators American Gladiator]]."
167** In one episode, Jay mentions that he isn't much of a drinker, commenting that the last time he drank, he woke up in a petting zoo, and one of the goats was missing.
168* From ''WesternAnimation/TheCupheadShow'' episode "Roll the Dice", after Cuphead learns that everyone in town can hear him:
169-->'''Cuphead''': [[BlowingARaspberry PFFFFTH!]] That's for you, Jimmy! And you ''know'' what for.
170* On the ''WesternAnimation/CuriousGeorge'' TV show, George and the Man with the Yellow Hat are looking at an old photo album with a picture of the man as a boy in mismatched clothes:
171-->"And, uh, after that I decided to only wear yellow."
172[[/folder]]
173
174[[folder:D]]
175* There are several references in ''WesternAnimation/DangerMouse'' to Fifi, who has some past connection to the White Wonder, but is never explained. Penfold tries to bring the subject up and DM always shushes him.
176* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''.
177** "The Backwash Incident". Apparently it was bad enough that Vlad lists it as one of the three reasons he wants to make Jack die oh so very painfully. We learn later at the end what "The Backwash Incident" was when [[spoiler:Danny gets backwashed by Jack]].
178** Also, from the same episode as the above, just as Maddie is about to walk out the door, this exchange with Jack occurs:
179--->'''Maddie:''' Please try not to trash the house while I'm gone.\
180'''Jack:''' ''(sighs)'' Suck the house into a parallel dimension ONE TIME, and you just can't let it go, can you?
181* ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}''
182** The Season 1 episode titled "The Big House" opens with Daria being dropped off at her house by a mystery car and sneaking back into the house. We never find out the identity of who was driving the car or where Daria had been.
183** "This Year's Model" has Brittany enraged when Kevin models with a chubby young woman during the class held by the Amazon Modeling Agency. When Brittany asserts that she'll always be Kevin's first and the chubby girl can't take that from her, a scantily clad and more buxom blonde girl attests "''I'' can."
184** During "Ill," a hospital nurse and Daria's doctor are both familiar enough with Daria's room to know someone named Mrs. Sullivan resided in it and ''something'' happened while she was there. Daria has a NightmareSequence where Mrs. Sullivan's ghost escorts her to Heaven. Near the end of the episode, Daria meets the real Mrs. Sullivan who shows up [[spoiler:asking if she left behind any enema bags in the room]].
185** Jane's adult sister Penny is a wannabee revolutionary who backpacks through third world countries. The episode "See Jane Run" implies this happened as a result of being taught by SadistTeacher Miss Morris.
186--->'''Miss Morris''': I taught her a thing or two about the American competitive spirit.
187--->'''Jane''': You sure did. That's why she's spent the last ten years out of the country.
188** In "Pierce Me":
189--->'''Trent:''' Don't want to get [Jane] a CD, and I ''can't'' set foot in a bookstore. Don't ask me why, Daria, I just ''don't'' want to talk about it.
190** We never find out the specific reason that Casa Lane needs a rule against starting fires in rooms that don't have fireplaces.
191** In the finale episode, Tom has an interview for Bromwell University. As he leaves, the interviewer remarks that she finally understand why there is a sign at the ice hockey rink saying "Clothing Required."
192* ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck''
193** The "stupid ski accident" that put Darkwing Duck in a wheelchair. "[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Well, I told you things got rough at those ski shop sales]]. You're lucky only your legs were broken."
194** Gosalyn's infamous pranks:
195--->'''Gosalyn:''' I don't know anything about a pig, and I was nowhere near the boys bathroom at the time!\
196'''Mrs. Cavanaugh:''' What pig?\
197\
198'''Gosalyn:''' Dad's never grounded me without a reason before!\
199'''Honker:''' Gee, Gosalyn, maybe he found out about that sewer gas incident in the boys' locker room.\
200'''Gosalyn:''' Nah, it's too soon.\
201'''Honker:''' Um, the UFO hoax at the convent?\
202'''Gosalyn:''' No way, I wore gloves.
203* In the ''Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse'', several things like this are tossed out every once in a while.
204** As Batman tells the League during "Dark Heart", you do ''not'' want to know why Batman needed to freeze the Gotham River.
205** One mentioned in the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' episode [[Recap/BatmanBeyondS3E4OutOfThePast "Out of the Past"]] and the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Unlimited'' episode [[Recap/JusticeLeagueUnlimitedS2E13Epilogue "Epilogue"]] was an event called the "Near Apocalypse of '09". The only things known are that, as its name implies, it happened in 2009 and that prior to ''Beyond'', it was the last time Bruce faced off against ComicBook/RasAlGhul.
206** Ironically, one Noodle Incident -- old Bruce telling Terry about his hatred of Boom Tubes in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' -- actually was shown in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', where Batman (BATMAN!) appears ready to throw up after going through one.
207** The best ''JLU'' Noodle Incident are the creatures from the Decoran Nebula that ComicBook/WonderWoman insisted had their beatdown coming. Apparently they weren't misunderstood, they just thought we were food.
208** In "Secret Society", Grodd shows Clayface one of Giganta's baby pictures, revealing that she was originally a native of Gorilla City, and also implying that he somehow made her human. He doesn't go into any further detail about it than that.
209** The episode "TheGreatestStoryNeverTold" is full of these. Since the story is from the POV of ComicBook/BoosterGold, who was not involved with the main fight with Mordru, we only catch insane clips of the fight while Booster evacuates people. We never learn why they needed Elongated Man ("Maybe they need a vase") or how he ended up stopping the BigBad, nor do we get any details into the merging of Superman and Batman into one being (with Wonder Woman's voice) other than Batman giving a look of "You will never speak of this again."
210** Another great one is in "The Great Brain Robbery" after Dr. Fate has gotten Flash's mind back in his own body.
211--->'''G.L.:''' It ''sounds'' like Wally, but is there any way to be sure?\
212'''Flash:''' You want proof? Until he went off into the Marines, G.L.'s nickname was--\
213'''G.L.:''' Stop! It's him. Man, you promised never to repeat that story!
214** In the ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock'' episode "No Man's an Island" we learn Hotstreak doesn't like hospitals because he spent 2 years in the hospital when he was a kid. The audience never learns what happened to him to cause this.
215** In "Injustice For All" Batman is captured and placed in a titanium restraint in which he can't so much as move his hands and without his utility belt. Naturally, by the end Batman breaks out and ambushes the Joker, explaining that he could have gotten out whenever he wanted, but as per this trope it's never explained just HOW he managed that.
216** In part one of the ''JLU'' episode "The Once and Future Thing", ComicBook/JonahHex reveals that much like his comic counterpart, he'd dealt with time travel before as he figured out Batman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern traveled from the "future" to the Wild West.
217** ''WesternAnimation/BatmanAndHarleyQuinn'' sees Sarge Steel thank Batman for his help involving an incident at Nanda Parbat. The only thing known besides the location and the involvement of Batman and A.R.G.U.S. is that it involved the League of Assassins -- and in particular, ComicBook/LadyShiva, who's TheGhost.
218* ''WesternAnimation/DCSuperheroGirls2019'':
219** "[=#CrushingIt=]" has Bumblebee bring up her first crush, the only detail she elaborates on being that it was "brutal".
220** In "[=#AmBatgirl=]", Robin cheats at a competition with Batgirl on who can capture the most criminals by apprehending an old woman for not using the crosswalk, a man for violating the rule of bringing outside food into a restaurant by sneaking a Burrito Bucket burrito into the Big Borger, a goldfish and a baby. It's never explained what the fish and baby did that Robin used as an excuse to consider them criminals, and Batgirl even questions what law a fish could possibly break.
221** Garth tries to explain why he's in detention to Hal Jordan, Pamela Isley, Kara Danvers and Zee Zarara in "[=#DetentionClub=]", but both times is cut off before he can get into the details.
222* The ChristmasEpisode of ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' sees Dexter trying to disprove the existence of Santa, [[SantasExistenceClause who is very much real]], in the process depriving him of his beard, wrecking their living room and tearing the roof off their house.
223--> '''Dexter:''' Well, I'm sorry I ruined Christmas… again…
224* In episode five of ''{{WesternAnimation/Dilbert}}'', Alice claims that her marriage was broken up by slurping coffee. She does not explain further, except to threaten that "if you do that again I'll throw that coffee on your face and you can slurp it through your pores."
225* "That was one crazy Yom Kippur!" practically became ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'''s CatchPhrase.
226* ''WesternAnimation/{{Droids}}'' begins with Artoo and Threepio recently abandoned in the middle of nowhere. There's something about their former "master" leaving them, but who or what that master was is never explained.
227* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017''
228** In "The Beagle Birthday Massacre!", it's revealed Louie earned the EmbarrassingNickname "Captain Lost" after he got himself and his brothers really lost on one of their previous boating expeditions, but the boys end up settling on "guess you had to be there" when trying to describe the specifics.
229** A RunningGag in the series is Scrooge's unexplained animosity towards Santa Claus The first time it comes up, Scrooge only says that the man is not allowed in the [=McDuck=] household, and that "He knows what he did." At various points, he reacts violently to a Santa decoration being displayed in the mansion ("That churlish chimney-chaser is ''not'' to be trusted!"), is shown to have installed Santa traps in his chimneys, and is utterly enraged when he is [[ItMakesSenseInContext forced to pretend to be Santa by Glomgold]] in "Moonvasion!". [[ResolvedNoodleIncident The incident is finally explained]] in the Season 3 episode "How Santa Stole Christmas!"
230** Glomgold's reaction to managing a perfectly normal golf swing implies at least one: "Holy haggis! It stayed on the course! It went forward! [[EpicFail And I'm not on fire!]]"
231** Anything involving Launchpad and [[ChickMagnet his love life]]:
232*** In "The House of the Lucky Gander!", while the others are helping Gladstone out, he goes on his own trip to help an ex-girlfriend of his, Ziyi. When we see him again, he's out of breath, wearing an eyepatch and ancient armor punctured with arrows, a baby panda strapped to his back, with it being implied that he fought a crime family with said girlfriend and he NeverGotToSayGoodbye to her.
233*** In "The Depths of Cousin Fethry!", while Huey and Dewey hang out with the titular character, Launchpad sees a mermaid and realizes she's someone he knows, Oceanika. When we see him again, he's once again dressed in armor, with an octopus on his back, a moray around his arm, a conch shell around his neck, and a trident in hand.
234*** In "The Dangerous Chemistry of Gandra Dee!", he lists off several of his past loves, including the previous two examples, a Viking shield maiden, [[ScrewYourself a clone of himself]], and a talking cloud of energy.
235[[/folder]]
236
237[[folder:E]]
238* From the ''WesternAnimation/EarthwormJim'' episode "Upholstered Peril":
239-->'''Earthworm Jim''': I had one of those sudden inspirations I so often get just when we seem doomed.\
240'''Peter Puppy''': I am not wearing the dress this time!\
241'''Earthworm Jim''': No, no, no this time it's a '''good''' idea.
242* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'':
243** Edd has an extreme fear of physical activity due to a "dodgeball incident" that occurred some years prior and led to him being exempt from gym class. Poor Edd has a PTSD flashback when Eddy tries to rope him into a game of dodgeball in "Ed in a Half-Shell". This event was actually intended to be shown in the movie, but was cut for time.
244** In "Eeny, Meeny, Miney, Ed", Edd spots Eddy's clothes lying on his floor and asks Ed "Is [Eddy] running around naked '''again'''?"
245** Two episodes involved one of the characters getting grounded (Ed in "3 Squares and an Ed", Kevin in "A Case of Ed"), yet they never reveal what the characters did to get grounded in the first place.
246** In ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddysBigPictureShow'', this is the entire driving force behind the movie, as we never find out just what kind of scam the Eds must have pulled on the kids for them to so determinedly chase after them for ninety minutes, only that somehow, Ed and Eddy screwed it up and that it completely destroyed the cul-de-sac, moreso than in any other episode. Apparently, whatever they did was '''so''' unspeakably heinous, that they needed to pack their bags and skip town before the neighborhood kids beat them to ''death''. What takes the cake is that even after they left, the kids hunted them for days, so this was way more serious than just a scam gone awry, though just how serious it was is never fully explained. The only hint that's given in the film is that Eddy evidently disobeyed Edd's order not to press [[BigRedButton the red button]] on whatever it was he built (though from the ruins, it looked like some sort of amusement park).
247* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewSchool'', Pacha and Chicha are looking for a babysitter. The third person that they went to was Kavo, who told them that he was grounded after being blamed for causing a fire. We're not told where or how.
248[[/folder]]
249
250[[folder:F]]
251* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''
252** Super Toilet, the wish that prompted the "no more wishes with 'super' in the name" rule. Cosmo tends to start babbling "So... much... clogging..." [[TroubledFetalPosition and curl up in the fetal position]] [[TraumaButton when Super Toilet is brought up]]. Potentially subverted, as when Wanda wishes up Super Toilet, Cosmo falls in and is flushed. Of course, we also have to ask ''why'' did Timmy wish up a Super Toilet?
253** In one episode where Timmy had his (unconscious) parents distract Crocker by having him talk about himself, we learn several things about him, such as how he once attended a ninja school, had a stint as a cat burglar, and can [[PersonaNonGrata never return to Cincinnati]].
254** In the episode "Mighty Mom and Dyno Dad", we have this little gem:
255--->'''Timmy:''' We could talk.\
256''[Cut to Timmy being pushed out the door by his father]''\
257'''Timmy's Dad:''' And that's all you need to know about where babies come from.\
258'''Timmy:''' But what's the machine for?\
259'''Timmy's Dad:''' You'll find out when you're older.
260** In one of the ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'', Timmy test drives several superpowers. While trying to fly, he hits another kid Cosmo and Wanda gave superpowers, with no clue to the context of the event.
261** In "I Dream of Cosmo", Timmy's Dad simply says that he "learned the hard way" that dead silverfish can't make your dreams come true.
262* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' averts the trope continually, by showing the bizarre incidents that happened (hence all the {{Cutaway Gag}}s that aren't about celebrities or show a WhatIf scenario) to the point that when they play the trope straight once, during the "Saving Private Brian" episode, Stewie breaks the FourthWall to [[LampshadeHanging hang a lampshade]] on the fact.
263-->'''Stewie:''' Like Peter went after that hockey coach. ''(silence)'' Oh, no clip? Thought we had a clip.
264** References by Peter, Stewie, and Brian are almost always shown, while those made by Lois are never explained, which often makes them appear even more outrageous.
265--->'''Peter:''' Where did you get that tattoo?\
266'''Lois:''' I don't know, Peter. Meth is a hell of a drug.
267** Actually played straight in one episode when Chris and Peter are at a whale exhibit.
268--->'''Chris''': Dad, what's the blowhole for?\
269'''Peter''': I'll tell you what it's ''not'' for, son. And when I do, you'll understand why [[PersonaNonGrata I can never go back to Sea World]].
270*** Depending on how canon you consider in-character bits from the audio commentary, it's slightly less of a Noodle Incident. Right after that line, Seth Macfarlane says in Peter's voice [[spoiler:"You see I fucked a whale in the blowhole."]] What situation he was in to allow him to try that and his reasoning for doing so are still unexplained, though.
271** In another episode, Lois blackmails her father by bringing up the "nice mulatto boy who looks an awful lot like...",
272** In an episode "Courtship of Stewie's Father", Quagmire wants to tell of some ridiculous sexual escapade, so Peter covers Stewie's ears and we only see Quagmire's hand movements rather than know the full story. Although we do know that it was his right hand that "caused all the trouble."
273** There's also this little exchange:
274--->'''Chris:''' Oh yeah? What about the time she strangled my other sister?\
275'''Lois:''' ''(nervously)'' Chris, honey, we told you, that was just a bad dream.\
276'''Chris:''' But I remember it so clear--\
277'''Peter''' and '''Lois:''' ''It was a dream!''
278** In "Blue Harvest", Lois/Princess Leia reminds Herbert/Obi-Wan that he owes her because she forced a bunch of children to remain quiet for an obviously sexual reason but Herbert/Obi-Wan fast forwards through most of the details and all we have is "Joey Lawrence haircut".
279*** In the same episode, Stewie/Darth Vader, when encountering Herbert/Obi-Wan, mentioned a restraining order before fighting him due to something the latter did.
280** In PTV, Peter apparently goes into grotesque detail on an apparently sexual event that becomes this due to a ClusterBleepBomb:
281--->'''Peter''': You know, you're lucky you're good at (AIRHORN SOUND)ing my (AIRHORN SOUND) or I'd never put up with ya. You know what I'm talking about; when you (AIRHORN SOUND) lubed-up (AIRHORN SOUND) toothpaste in my (AIRHORN SOUND) while you (AIRHORN SOUND) on a cherry (AIRHORN SOUND) Episcopalian (AIRHORN SOUND) extension cord (AIRHORN SOUND) wetness (AIRHORN SOUND) with a parking ticket. That is the best!
282** When asked how he knows the zip code for Juarez, Mexico, Joe mentions going down there one time for stem cells and having salsa rubbed on his legs instead. While we know what happened when he went to Mexico, we don't know exactly how ended up with the zipcode for Juarez.
283** One is where Opie from Peter's job got fired and we never find out what he did to get fired besides Peter saying, "Oh well, it's no wonder they finally caught you doing that in here. I mean the underside of your desk looks like Carlsbad Caverns.", Though there are a few possibilities.
284** In another cutaway, Peter mentions how mad Lois was when he made that mess in the bathroom. We then see him run downstairs, and hide behind the couch, before hearing Lois scream, "PETER GRIFFIN!" We never do find out what he did in there...
285** That time Meg went out. According to her, she "wasn't at the Shriner's convention".
286** Speaking of Meg, "And Then There's Fraud" had Meg commit some kind of offense that caused her to be under close supervision by her family, and by the end of the episode she saws off her ankle and tracking device.
287* ''WesternAnimation/{{Fillmore}}''
288** In "To Mar a Stall" we are told that tagger Randall Julian aka. Flava Sava was able to do something to the East wall in 10 minutes with a miniature golf pencil. We never get to see what happened but from the faces of Fillmore and Ingrid it seems that it must have been quite impressive. Or horrific.
289** We've also got the diplomatic mess that caused Folsam to give exchange students diplomatic immunity and the exact circumstances under which O'Farrell proved too incompetent to use a stapler. Conversely there's a dramatic one: what exactly happened to Wayne's partner Emily to make her transfer out and turn him into a doormat?
290* ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'':
291** In the DVD commentary of "[[Recap/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriendsS1E5StoreWars Store Wars]]", Bloo mentions '''4''' separate incidents he had caused: something involving Eduardo's hair and a clogged toilet, filling Mac's backpack with pudding to the point that it leaks, causing Wilt to trip and break his toe, and having Coco be flown from a catapult and end up trapped up a tree. The real kicker? Bloo mentions, almost ''confidently'', that all 4 incidents happened on ''the same morning''.
292** The episode "[[Recap/FosterHomeForImaginaryFriendsS2E4SightForSoreEyesBloosBrothers Bloo's Brothers]]" has a lot of Mac's classmates creating their own imaginary friends who happen to be clones of Bloo that all have something wrong with them. Frankie sees them and asks Bloo if he was playing with Mac's chemistry set again. Bloo answers that he did, but the chemistry set isn't the source of the clones.
293** "[[Recap/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriendsS3E2HiccyBurp Hiccy Burp]]" has everyone at the foster home glare at Wilt and chillingly remind him that his act in last year's pageant was a disaster. The details are not revealed.
294** In the beginning of "[[Recap/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriendsS3E4DuchessOfWails Duchess of Wails]]", Duchess is displeased with the dress Madame Foster made for her and proceeds to angrily fling it off and declare that she'd rather go naked. Madame Foster pleads Duchess not to do that and even says "Not again", which implies that Duchess went nude to show contempt towards a dress not made to her liking before.
295** In the opening scene of "[[Recap/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriendsS3E6FostersGoesToEurope Foster's Goes to Europe]]", Coco explains to Wilt the basis for the episode's rather unlikely set-up, to which Wilt responds, "Now I remember! What a crazy story!" Problem is, to the viewer, Coco is [[TheUnintelligible completely unintelligible]].
296** "[[Recap/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriendsS4E2TheBigPicture The Big Picture]]" finds Mac and Bloo trying to find out what happened one year during photo day when the resulting group photo was missing almost everyone. Everyone they ask is evasive on the matter. Though it's eventually revealed at the end: [[spoiler:Wally the prank master pulled a lever beneath the stairs upon which the friends all stood, making it so everybody fell into the basement.]]
297** "[[Recap/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriendsS4E4SqueezeTheDay Squeeze the Day]]" ends with the entire house (except for Mac and Bloo, who were purposely left behind) returning from the beach with Frankie yelling the following at Wilt:
298--->"One day, Wilt-- that's all I ask for! One day to rest and relax and ''you'' have to go and mess it up! Now I've got to '''go back, clean all that sand,''' and ''somehow'' find '''homes for all those jellyfish!'''\
299"[[PersonaNonGrata You're all banned from the beach]]! That's what the governor said!"
300* ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}'':
301** When Jeepers manages to summon the EldritchAbomination called Vorn the Unspeakable, his first order of business is to have Vorn pay a visit to Jeepers' upstairs apartment neighbor. When Freakazoid and Steff arrive at the building, the woman's exclaiming that what happened was "Awful. Awful! JUST AWFUL!"
302--->'''Freakazoid''': Could you be more specific?\
303'''Woman''': It was like having to watch ''Film/{{Waterworld}}'' for a month!\
304(''Freakazoid and Steff gasp in horror'')
305* ''WesternAnimation/FriskyDingo'':
306** Something happened in Phoenix, AZ involving Simon and a pet store that ensures Killface and co. "can ''never'' go back to Arizona!"
307--->'''Killface:''' ''(after Simon runs away and steals all the knives, he starts to worry)'' Call all the pet stores. My god, it's Arizona all over again!
308** Funny thing is, Simon ''was'' going to a pet shop. An episode later we see Simon running a glorified cock-fighting ring where rabbits have knives strapped to them and they engage in brutal fights to the death.
309* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' has a couple of these, usually during Morbo and Linda's newscasts.
310-->"All in all, this is one day Mittens the kitten won't soon forget!"\
311"And that's why the third graders at [=PS139=] are Morbo's Vermin Of The Week."
312** And there's the history of "Le Grand Cigar": "This cigar's wrapper is a piece of the original U.S. constitution, was rolled by Queen Elizabeth (during her "wild years"), and was buried with George Burns until grave-robbing space mushrooms...well, you know the rest.
313** These are actually common for any events that happened between Fry getting frozen in 2000 and waking up in 3000, which included a period where the Earth was ruled by cyborgs, the Second Coming of Jesus somehow eliminating old videotapes, the death of the last human ghost, etc.
314** Upon throwing away a sophisticated toilet, Fry says "sorry, you know too much".
315** In the episode "The Sting", Leela has a vivid hallucination of everyone singing "Don't Worry, Be Happy" and exploding after getting stung by bees. When the hallucination ends, Leela asks the crew if they were just singing. Bender responds: "No. I was telling you not to worry. I'm not allowed to sing. Court order." This ''could'' be a CallBack to his fallout with Beck on "Bendin' In The Wind," but since most of the events of "The Sting" were [[spoiler:AllJustADream -- or, rather, a coma fantasy]], the whole question of whether or not Bender has been legally banned from singing becomes moot.
316** ''Also'' in "The Sting" is an event where all we get to see is the aftermath. After a commercial break cut to Planet Express where Bender is ablaze and screaming in pain. Everyone puts him out, he calmly says "that's better", and [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment nothing comes of it]]. We never learn what in the hell happened to light him on fire.
317** In “The Farnsworth Parabox” Satan apparently owes the Professor for something.
318** In "Put Your Head on My Shoulders", Bender learns that lonely people will spend money for a chance at romance. He then comes up with a deviously clever plan that he'll -- SmashCut to Bender (now with a gold plate on his front "tooth") in court with two hooker bots [[note]]one of which is Hookerbot 5000 from "Hell is Other Robots."[[/note]] and Leela at his side being sentenced to "$500 and time served."
319--->'''Bender:''' Stupid anti-pimping laws!
320** And then there's Hermes, Amy and Zoidberg's delivery to Fantasy Planet in "The Cryonic Woman".
321--->'''Zoidberg''': For one beautiful night, I knew what it was to be a grandmother. Subjugated, yet honoured.
322** From "Mars University":
323--->'''Dean Vernon:''' Whenever a fire alarm is pulled, Robot House. When the campus liquor store is looted, Robot House. Whenever a human corpse is desecrated...\
324'''Bender:''' Now I can explain ''that''.
325** Played straight in "Hell is Other Robots" when Bender "finds religion".
326--->'''Fry''': Is this another scam to get free yarmulkes?
327*** From the same episode, Fry compares Bender’s [[AIGettingHigh electricity abuse]] to an incident in which "my friend Richie swore he wasn’t taking drugs, and then he sold me my mom’s VCR. And then later, I found out he was taking drugs!"
328*** Similarly in "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid" when Bender ForgotHeWasARobot:
329---->'''Fry:''' If this is some kind of scam, I don’t get it. You already have my power of attorney.
330** It's anyone's guess as to what Professor Farnsworth's relationship to Pazuzu was, other than that Farnsworth "put him through college" and earned ThreeWishes from him at some point.
331** When the producer of ''[[ShowWithinAShow All My Circuits]]'' asks if Bender's been on TV, he responds, "Once, when I took those hostages."
332** In "Raging Bender", Fry asks Leela why Bender can do robot wrestling, yet he can’t do stuff that almost kills ''him''.
333--->'''Leela:''' This is more important than that marble-eating contest, Fry.
334** "Bend Her" has a bit where the official at the sporting event Bender tries to enter while disguised as a fembot named Coilette calls out that Bender's claim of being from Robonia doesn't hold up due to the country's name sounding like it was made up on the spot. Bender intimidates the official to let him participate by asking if he had ever been beaten by a guy dressed like a chick. The official's response implies that he had been beaten up by a man in drag before, but doesn't explain the circumstances under which that happened to him.
335** In "[[Recap/FuturamaM3BendersGame Bender's Game]]", Fry checks Nibbler's litter box for some dark matter to refuel the ship.
336--->'''Fry:''' Yes! I've never been so excited to see poop. Well, maybe once.
337** In "[[Recap/FuturamaS7E18TheInhumanTorch The Inhuman Torch]]", Flamo gloats that he'll be able to escape the arctic once a polar bear comes by. Bender claims that polar bears are not flammable and states that he's sure of it because he tried to set them on fire many times, but we're given no context on when or why Bender made those attempts.
338[[/folder]]
339
340[[folder:G]]
341* ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'':
342** In "Robodie II", when Dr. Garbanzo Bean saw the giant robot dog, he said it was the ''second'' biggest one he'd ever seen, though it could be a ShoutOut to ''Series/GetSmart'''s RunningGag.
343** "Dirty Business" has Jon's cousin Berferd remark "This is worse than when Arnold Frag brought that live moose in here" after seeing that Garfield and Odie have crashed through a wall.
344** Also, in the episode "Canned Laughter", after Jon discovers how expensive it is to buy a comedy robot, he announces that he can do it himself in his garage for half the price. Garfield then comments that he said the same thing when they told him that he had to have his appendix taken out.
345** The ''ComicStrip/USAcres'' segment "An Egg-Citing Story" shows a flashback of Sheldon dejected from his peers not letting him play with them. As he forlornly walks away, he remarks "This is worse than when those women tried to get pantyhose out of me."
346* ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex'': [[TheJinx Annie]] generates these by the dozens, and spouts them off as she goes along. Noah tells Rex that every boy who's gone out with her has ended up in the hospital, and Rex is the first to avoid this fate. Other examples include breaking her arm while texting while riding her bike of a half-pipe, dropping a jar of killer bees in biology class, and recounting a similar experience to a bloody horror movie she was watching.
347* ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero'':
348** The episode "There's No Place Like Springfield" had Shipwreck put through a FakedRipVanWinkle by Cobra, in which he had a home and a wife and a daughter he lacked in real life. After realizing it isn't real he finally escapes, and encounters his parrot Polly. After questioning whether this is the real Polly or another impostor, the parrot responds "Remember that time in Annapolis..." (Annapolis, MD is the state capital and the home of the US Navy Academy) . Shipwreck hastily cuts him off before he can finish.
349** In the Creator/DiCEntertainment episode "El Dorado: The Lost City of Gold", Grunt observes Cobra Commander panicking at the discovery that Overkill is being possessed by the ghost of Fernando Luiz Jorge Pizarro and remarks that Cobra Commander hasn't been this tense since he found a tarantula in his long-johns. It isn't made clear how Cobra Commander ended up getting a tarantula in his long-johns, let alone how a G.I. Joe operative knew about it.
350* On ''WesternAnimation/GoldieAndBear'', the events of the original tale of ''[[Literature/{{Goldilocks}} Goldilocks and the Three Bears]]'' are treated as a noodle incident within the series, with it only being mentioned that Goldie broke Bear's favorite chair. The premiere story is all about her trying to repair it in order to surprise him with it as a birthday present.
351* In the ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'' episode "Dr. Horatio's Magic Orchestra", PJ backs up Goofy's claims that Pete had sunken much lower on previous occasions by mentioning "the incident with the earless monkey", which, apparently, the characters all agreed offscreen to never bring up again.
352* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'':
353** Grunkle Stan apparently went to jail once in Colombia. No other details are given.
354** In the same vein, he also said [[spoiler: to Ford]] he was once locked in a car trunk and had to chew his way out. How he managed that, remains unknown.
355** Mabel also dated some cute vampires without telling Dipper.
356--->'''Mabel:''' ''[to Mermando]'' Same here. Except for a zombie, a gnome, and a couple of cute vampires.\
357'''Dipper:''' I don't remember the vampires.\
358'''Mabel:''' I don't tell you everything.
359** The immortal exchange between Stan and Mabel:
360--->'''Mabel:''' Ever kissed a pig before?\
361'''Stan:''' I'm not gonna answer that question.
362** Another episode has Stan mention that he once petitioned the government to have July 13th removed from calendars as a favor to Soos.[[note]]July 13th is Soos' birthday, which he hates, due to his Dad skipping out on him when he was young[[/note]] This somehow led to Stan being declared a flight risk and not being allowed on airplanes ever again.
363** In "The Stanchurian Candidate", Stan offhandedly mentions accidentally letting [[ScaryStingingSwarm bees]] loose in an elementary school a few years ago.
364*** The ending of the same episode, in which Stan's past crimes are listed by a television network, is a treasure trove of these. His illegal actions include "woodpecker baiting", "impersonating a dentist", "a new crime he invented called 'burglebezzlement'", and "first-degree llamacide".
365---->'''Stan:''' That llama knew too much.
366** In "Gideon Rises", the police file photo of Stan depicts him [[https://36.media.tumblr.com/a651e4301b8eee6f05066d8c90f62d16/tumblr_nvufdjDu7I1tqwgdho1_500.jpg in a devil costume, entirely surrounded by flames.]]
367--->'''Stan:''' That picture's taken out of context.
368** "Roadside Attraction" contains three:
369*** First, Dipper sees Stan's RV and questions if he's running from the law again.
370*** Second, following the above, Stan explains about how his tourist trap rivals have pranked him every year, bringing up an incident where they duct taped Soos to the ceiling. Soos remarks that it was a fun 78 hours.
371*** Third, Stan's warning to not be fooled by Granny Sweetkin's appearance.
372---->'''Stan:''' This woman lit my car on fire on two non-consecutive occasions.
373** For an example not directly connected to any of the Pines family, Mayor Befufflefumpter is possibly responsible for World War I.
374** For another non-Pines family example, Melody's line from the aftermath of "Soos And The Real Girl":
375--->'''Melody:''' Believe it or not, I've been on worse dates.\
376'''Soos:''' Really?\
377'''Melody:''' ''Never'' date a magician.
378*** From the same episode, Soos' Abuelita is certain that she won't be seeing her husband in Heaven while casting her gaze downward. We're never given details as to what the man did, but Abuelita's assurance in her voice makes it clear it was ''bad''.
379** [[ComicBook/GravityFallsLostLegends The comic]] is not exempt from this. To sum up:
380*** The Mothman apparently owes Ford money. For what, we don't know.
381*** [[{{Gonk}} Toby]] [[ButtMonkey Determined]] apparently has a way into a magical black market that ''Ford'' couldn't even get into.
382*** Stan, for reasons unknown, got in a fistfight with ''Creator/StanLee'' in '73.
383* ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy''
384** In "Billy's Growth Spurt", Billy has a dream where he's a TV chef making cookie dough. He doesn't actually bake the cookies, explaining "I'm not allowed to use the oven anymore."
385** In "Here There Be Dwarves", SpecialGuest R. Lee Ermey apologizes for briefly cutting back to a violent fight between elves and dwarves before it's over, saying he "misread the signals". He then mentions a guy he knew who "misread the signals in a combat situation. Now he eats ''everything'' through a mechanical straw!"
386[[/folder]]
387
388[[folder:H]]
389* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' has a weirder version of this in "Egg Story", given that the viewer may know what they're talking about (a brief scene in the [[CallBack earlier episode]] "Operation Ruthless"), but the rest of the characters do not.
390-->'''Harold:''' Come on, Rhonda. You know you like me!\
391'''Rhonda:''' Where in the world would you get a ridiculous idea like ''that''?\
392'''Harold:''' Remember that time at the Cheese Festival when you jumped the-- ''[Rhonda clamps his mouth shut]''\
393'''Rhonda:''' SHH! I told you to ''never'' mention that night '''ever''' again!
394* In the first episode of ''WesternAnimation/HiHiPuffyAmiYumi'', Harmony mentions that she knows about the "pine nut incident" that has made Yumi afraid of squirrels since she was five. (Although, this is [[NegativeContinuity contradicted by a Season 2 episode]] where she can speak fluent squirrel and claims she was also President of the Squirrel Club in college. As a whole there's not much tying these episodes together. It could also be explained that Yumi got over it somewhere between the incident and adulthood.)
395* ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'':
396** In "Pluto's Seal Deal", Mickey leaves Pluto home alone and tells him not to have things be like what happened last time. "That's right, no firetrucks or news crews!".
397** In "Pluto's Kittens", Mickey lets Pluto sleep inside for the night and reminds him that he doesn't want what happened last time and points to an ImpactSilhouette of Pluto in the floor.
398** In "Daisy's Big Sale", Minnie tells Daisy that "every time I help you, it's a disaster", followed by showing flashback clips of the two in full body casts, on a police lineup and sinking in wet cement.
399[[/folder]]

401[[folder:I]]
402* ''WesternAnimation/InfinityTrain'':
403** [[Recap/InfinityTrainS1E4TheCrystalCar "The Crystal Car"]] starts off with Tulip, One-One and Atticus leaving an Italy-themed car where they apparently dealt with a problem involving literal pasta and a mean grandmother.
404** [[Recap/InfinityTrainS1E5TheCatsCar "The Cat's Car"]] begins with our heroes departing a car with baseball-playing dinosaurs.
405** [[Recap/InfinityTrainS1E6TheUnfinishedCar "The Unfinished Car"]] opens with the protagonists departing a spa car where they apparently spent quite some time.
406** [[Recap/InfinityTrainS1E8TheBallPitCar "The Ball Pit Car"]]: Atticus mentions a luau car they passed through, not remembering the smell with any fondness.
407* In ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' Dib's whole life seems to be either a series of Noodle Incidents, or one big one:
408** In one episode we get the following exchange:
409--->'''Prof. Membrane:''' Son! There'd better not be any walking dead up there!\
410'''Dib:''' It's nothing to worry about Dad! And I said I was sorry!
411** In the first episode, one of the other kids complains that Dib claimed to have seen Bigfoot in his garage: "He was using the belt sander." It is never revealed whether this really happened or if it was just Dib being crazy.
412** There was also the election episode, where Dib jammed a receiver into his ear. Miss Bitters shooed him away saying "Dib! What did I tell you about jamming things in people's ears?"
413** There was also the episode "Mysterious Mysteries" where not only was there a whole closet full of the stuff Dib sends in (Though a lot of it is probably about Zim, who knows what else could be in there), but the host (And, seemingly the creator) of the show said "No! Not after what happened last time..." he then stroked his scar and Dib flashed on the screen for a frame or two. Not to mention the size of his school records, and occasionally his father, sister, or school kids would mention some of the events of his life. The only time we saw more of his past was when Zim tried to alter it.
414** And then there's this bit in "Vindicated":
415--->'''Dib:''' What happened to the ''old'' counselor?\
416'''Mr. Dwicky:''' Something... terrible.\
417'''Voice from vents:''' ''Help... meee...''
418** Dib called the FBI in "Zim Eats Waffles".
419--->'''Greg:''' ''[laughs]'' Hey, wait. You're... Dib, right? Did you ever get that ninja ghost out of your toilet?\
420'''Dib:''' Yes, no thanks to you!
421** In, "Gaz: Taster of Pork", Dib and Gaz are cornered by police on the side of a building. The next shot showed they had escaped in a beat up car while wearing funny animal costumes.
422--->'''Gaz:''' I liked the part where the giant robot squid launched missiles at us.
423** Zim has a tendency to have giant, unseen conflicts in the middle of episodes. In the last scene of "GIR Goes Crazy and Stuff", Officer Squidman mentions a giant battle that occurred sometime after the previous scene. And "Tak, the Hideous New Girl" returns from an ActBreak with GIR and Zim [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment fighting a giant monster in the city]].
424--->'''Zim:''' What a horrible adventure with that ham demon.
425** In "Dib's Wonderful Life of Doom", Dib dreams of having a long and eventful life in which he saves the world many times. As an old man, he's interviewed and reminisces about his many accomplishments and says, "I even got to ride a moose!" The interviewer chuckles fondly, "Ah, yes, who could forget ''that'' day?"
426** The way Miss Bitters rebukes Dib for shoving half of a phone into Willy's ear in "The Voting of the Doomed" implies that Dib has done something similar before.
427--->'''Miss Bitters:''' Dib, what have I told you abut jamming things into students' ears?
428** ''[[WesternAnimation/InvaderZimEnterTheFlorpus Enter the Florpus]]'' has the following:
429--->'''Professor Membrane:''' Why, as a child I thought sharks were my friends! ''*reveals robotic arm*'' '''[[MoodWhiplash I know better now...]]'''
430** ''Enter the Florpus'' also features Dib and Zim discussing a local taco place that Dib thinks Zim loves.
431--->'''Zim:''' No, no, ''Gir'' loves that place. I think it's dirty.\
432'''Gir:''' [[EatsBabies I ate a baby there.]]\
433'''Zim:''' He did.
434* In ''WesternAnimation/Invincible2021'', Black Samson wears PowerArmor but according to Rex Splode, he had powers but at some point lost them. His experience combined with the suit still makes him a BadassNormal.
435* In ''WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures'':
436** Pepper is prone to doing this just as she is introduced on the scene when she is talking to someone.
437--->'''Pepper:'''' And that's why I wasn't very popular during the eighth grade. But, no charges were filed, so everything turned out okay!
438** Tony even uses one about Pepper getting in trouble:
439--->'''Tony:''' Do you think she tried to arrest someone again?
440[[/folder]]
441
442[[folder:J]]
443* ''WesternAnimation/{{Jellystone}}'': Occasionally brought up, both as a MythologyGag and the usual kind.
444-->'''Cindy:''' Do you have any experience holding a knife?\
445'''Boo Boo:''' Does a machete count?
446* On ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsons'' episode "The Little Man", George invents the Minivac, a machine with reduces and enlarges common objects. Spacely's business rival Cogswell ridicules the contraption, reminding him how they all got a laugh out of the automatic stamp licker he invented last week. One can only wonder how ''that'' malfunctioned!
447* ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes''
448** Jimmy suddenly flying into the screen, landing on the pavement and causing it to crack. He mutters "Beezy was right, that was no fun." We never know exactly what "that" was.
449** Also, whatever caused Heloise's issues with [[OurGhostsAreDifferent ghosts]] is left unexplained.
450* ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo'':
451** In the episode "Johnny-O & Juliet", Johnny responds to Little Suzy teasing him over his crush on the new neighbor's daughter by threatening to bury the rest of her doll collection. Whatever Little Suzy did that drove Johnny to bury any of Little Suzy's dolls before, we'll never know.
452** In "A Johnny Bravo Christmas", Suzy states she'll help Johnny mail his letters to Santa Claus if he does a favor for her. Johnny replies by asking if he'll have to eat larvae again.
453* In the ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' episode "Li'l Johnny", Johnny goes into Susan and Mary's lab, only to find them as [[MultipleHeadCase two heads on one body]].
454-->'''Both:''' Don't ask!
455** In another episode, the government agents Mr. Black and Mr. White are demoted to police officers. When Johnny asks why Mr. Black casually states "I blew up UsefulNotes/{{Malaysia}}" and they move on.
456[[/folder]]
457
458[[folder:K]]
459* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'':
460** In the first season finale, when [[SeenItAll Mr. Cat]] explains the concept of funerals to [[TheDitz Stumpy]]. After he's done, Stumpy remarks that he sure does know a lot about funerals, and Mr. Cat remarks in a sad voice that he knows "a little too much" about them.
461** In one episode, the AlphaBitch Pretty talks about a girl who got into an argument with her about something (the exact topic is not revealed), and instead of revealing exactly what she did to the other girl she ends her story by menacingly saying "That poor girl...".
462** In Episode 94, during a phone conversation, Kaeloo mentions that Stumpy got kicked out of art class at school. Nothing more is said on the matter.
463** In Episode 121, when the main four get fired from the show, Kaeloo assumes that it may be because Mr. Cat and Stumpy were playing a destructive new game they invented which involved using sheep as bowling pins, and the directors hate animal cruelty. Mr. Cat responds that the directors probably wouldn't fire them for injuring a couple of sheep because they've gotten away with other stuff that was "far worse".
464** Episode 139 follows the adventures of [[CaptainErsatz Ratman]], "the world's worst superhero". At the beginning of the episode, we find out that he somehow set the city's ice rink on fire. The only detail we get about the fire is that "he didn't do it on purpose".
465* Done plenty of times with the favors ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' calls in for her rides (there are brief hints at what happened that Kim helped to stop, but rarely elaborates much further than that).
466** And, of course, "The Chess Club Incident" because, "The first rule of Chess Club is: [[Film/FightClub You do not talk about]] Chess Club."
467** Done particularly often in Season 4:
468--->'''Kim:''' Like that time you cleaned your room.\
469'''Ron:''' We promised never to speak of that dark day.
470** Or:
471--->'''Barkin:''' Don't let them tell you they're supposed to have class outside. We put a stop to that after "the jellyfish incident".\
472'''Shego/Ms. Go:''' Oh, that's so sweet! You took the class to the beach?\
473'''Barkin:''' No beach. Just jellyfish. Don't ask.
474** And who could forget the "Paper Machete" incident?
475--->'''Kim:''' Don't you mean "paper maché"?\
476'''Ron:''' I wish I did, Kim. I wish I did.
477** Or the story about how Ron learned to use the potty...
478** Another episode has Ron look for a job in the paper and sees one about puppies and thinks he might like to work with them. Rufus disagrees. Ron then agrees with him saying something about "The Fetch Incident".
479** Kim didn't go into detail regarding what she did to the bullies in "D Hall" that always harassed Ron while she was in Ron's body due to a FreakyFridayFlip; she only said she gave them some "sensitivity training". The bullies ended up giving Ron all the lunch money they had ever taken from him since kindergarten (plus a new video game).
480** When faced by an enormous robotic guard bird...
481--->'''Ron:''' That is the second biggest flamingo I've ever seen.
482** Several episodes have Mr. Barkin [[TwoTeacherSchool teaching some new class]], briefly referring to the incident that caused the regular teacher's absence.
483--->'''Barkin:''' A fungal experiment [[GoneHorriblyWrong went horribly wrong.]] [[YouDoNOTWantToKnow I didn't press for details.]]
484** Supposedly, Barkin also saved the world once, if his speech to Ron about graduation is any indication:
485--->'''Barkin:''' Ah, Senior Year, I remember it well. Best two years of my life; big fan on the football team [...] dated the most popular girl in school [...] I even helped save the world a time or two.\
486'''Ron:''' Right on-- wait, what?! You?
487** Another one from Ron, he is lampshading an offscreen Noodle Incident that involves Kim trying to fix up a hand-me down, broken down car her father gave her. Things aren't working out at all... somehow Ron is entangled in wires. Poor Ron, if only he knew RuleOfFunny.
488--->'''Ron:''' Wait a minute?! I wasn't even helping! How did this happen?!
489** Also the incident that resulted in Doctor Drakken's skin turning blue. He finally starts telling about it in the last scene of the GrandFinale, but [[TheUnReveal only gets as far]] as "It was a Tuesday-"
490* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'':
491** In one episode, Hank says that because of an incident at Taco Bueno, Joe Jack isn't allowed to play for the company softball team. Everyone agrees that it was a stupid thing that he did, the details surrounding the event were never explained.
492** "Maid in Arlen" opens with one of these.
493--->'''Bill:''' Do you think I'd meet more women if I changed my name to Tango?\
494'''Hank:''' Don't change your name again, Bill.
495** "Hankee Yankee" has this little gem when Cotton calls his old war buddy Topsy.
496--->'''Cotton:''' Topsy, remember that thing we said we were gonna do but never did?\
497''Listens to Topsy's reply''\
498'''Cotton:''' No, no no we did that. We did the hell out of that.
499** Another episode mentions a disastrous "Spatula Tuesday Fiasco".
500** After being chased out of their house due to testing positive for mold, the Hills end up stuck in a cheap motel. Because of the noise, Bobby claims that he tried to sleep outside, but doesn't say any further than "You know. The dogs."
501** Another one in the episode, "Bill's House" when a group of recovering alcoholics move in at Bill's place when he was initially volunteering at their halfway house.
502--->'''Mikey:''' Man, I love hoops. Went to a Spurs game before I got with the program. Long story short: lost my job.
503[[/folder]]
504
505[[folder:L]]
506* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'':
507** Korra's attempt to drive and park the team car after Asami got arrested in the eighth episode. They find it two episodes later plowed into a lamppost with a pile of tickets on the windshield.
508--->'''Korra:''' I made it very clear ''[[DrivesLikeCrazy I don't know how to drive]]''.
509** What, exactly, did Meelo decide was a toilet in ''The Voice In The Night''?
510** Lin's reaction to Tenzin breaking up with her. We know why [[note]] Tenzin wanted kids, she didn't [[/note]], but her exact reaction both included trying to get Pema arrested and made Korra trashing Mako's office for breaking up with her seem tame compared to what she did to Air Temple Island.
511** At the end of "Civil War Part 2" (Book 2),
512--->'''Bolin''': Quick question. Is this thing fast enough to get away from my crazy [[MakingASplash waterbending]] [[PsychoExGirlfriend ex-girlfriend]]?\
513'''Varick''': Why do you think I ''built'' this boat?
514** Bumi has a habit of telling his old war stories when trying to formulate plans, yet no one believes them due to how farfetch they sound. This makes it all the funnier when, in "Harmonic Convergence" (Book 2, Episode 12), he rescues Team Avatar by destroying a Northern Water Tribe encampment by himself ''on accident'' after his initial plan fails, proving to the audience that all his other stories were most likely ''true''.
515--->'''Tenzin''': How did you manage to take out this entire encampment on your own?\
516'''Bumi''': I did it all with my trusty flute and.. oh nevermind. [[YouWouldntBelieveMeIfIToldYou You wouldn't believe it anyway]]?
517* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'':
518** In ''WesternAnimation/TheDoverBoys'', the narrator describes Dick as "A serious lad of eighteen summers, plus a winter in Florida, as related in ''[[UnInstallment The Dover Boys in the Everglades]]''..."
519** WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck spends much of the short "Nasty Quacks" trying to tell an anecdote about a wild party he was at. Snippets include "One guy was swinging from the chandelier, you'd have thought he was a monkey! Come to think of it, he ''was'' a monkey!", "The whole thing started with an innocent telephone call...", and "Someone clipped Charlie in the ear, and that started the whole thing over again!"
520** In ''WesternAnimation/BallotBoxBunny'', the viewer learns that Yosemite Sam had some sort of fun in St. Louis with a woman named Emma. After thinking she's at the door and getting blasted with his own cannon trap:
521--->'''Sam:''' Heh heh, same ol' Emma, fulla laughs!
522* ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'' In the episode "The Foghorn Leghorn Story", Daffy is talking to Foghorn as we come back from commercial break:
523-->'''Daffy:''' [[OrphanedPunchline And that is why I don't wear any clothes.]]\
524'''Foghorn:''' Amazing.
525[[/folder]]
526
527[[folder:M]]
528* At one point in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Madballs}}'' episode "Escape from Orb", Dusty Dustbrain informs the other Madballs while they're fleeing from their home planet Orb to escape the tyranny of Wolf Breath and the Badballs that there are 4,563,238 planets they can live on. Slobulus replies that he put that many pieces of gum in his mouth. While Aargh afterwards clarifies that Slobulus holds the record for most pieces of gum put in one's mouth, there is still no explanation given for how and why Slobulus put 4,563,238 pieces of gum in his mouth.
529* In the ''WesternAnimation/MaoMaoHeroesOfPureHeart'' episode "Head Chef," Adorabat declares that someday, she'll cook just like Mao Mao, even if she's not supposed to set fires after what she did. "What she did" is never elaborated on.
530* ''WesternAnimation/MightyMax'' has the unfortunate events between Norman and Virgil in... ''Rangoon''. We do find out a few details, but not many.
531* ''WesternAnimation/MiloMurphysLaw'' has MANY references to the crazy scenarios that [[BornUnlucky Milo]] has had in the past. His HereditaryCurse means that he's been in just about every dangerously ridiculous situation that you can imagine.
532** "The Llama Incident" is mentioned more than once throughout the first half of Season 1, but is ultimately {{subverted|Trope}} -- there's [[ResolvedNoodleIncident an episode of the same name]] wherein he and [[UnfazedEveryman Melissa]] finally explain the event to [[OnlySaneMan Zack]]. [[DoubleSubversion However]], this happens while they're all hanging off a cliff in the aftermath of something they refer to as "the Woodpecker Incident", which we only see snapshots of.
533** Throughout all of "Smooth Opera-tor", he has a cast on his arm for no explained reason.
534** When giving Dr. Doof a pep talk, Melissa reminds him of a time when he saved Zack's life... after accidentally turning him inside out and nearly killing him. Naturally, Zack is confused and terrified when he learns that this happened and that the others erased his memory of it.
535* ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'':
536** In the episode "Chat Blanc", Ladybug sees a dinosaur fight outside of [[TimePolice Bunnyx]]'s burrow; Bunnyx refuses to tell her about it in case doing so destabilizes the timeline.
537** "Style Queen" reveals that [[TouchOfDeath Plagg]] killed '''all''' the dinosaurs, in an accident that Tikki couldn't fix for some reason and that every single Guardian (even a ten-year-old trainee) is told about. Even 90 years after leaving the monastery, Master Fu is so horrified by the story that he flat-out refuses to let Plagg roam free for [[GodzillaThreshold even the most urgent of reasons]].
538** In "Miraculous New York", the characters note that Xavier Ramier has been akumatized 51 times. The first time was because a policeman stopped him from feeding pigeons (which the Parisian government consider a pest animal), the others are not revealed.
539* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/MissionHill'' has a subplot involving a worldwide crisis. The audience is only given vague hints about what the crisis actually is.
540* Subverted in the ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel'' episode when Orel tells his dad he'll "never do THAT with THOSE, in THERE, for that LONG ever again!" and a later episode explains what happened. (See main article.)
541* ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984'': Gonzo asks Kermit if he wants to see him break the world speed record.
542-->'''Kermit:''' No thanks, Gonzo. The last time you tried to break the record, it took us two hours to get your head out of the wastebasket.
543* ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey'': In one episode, Jake's stunt for the school talent show is chewing gum and having the bubbles come out of his ears, but according to Lupé, the last time he tried, they came out "somewhere horrible". However, given that every other episode makes [[JokeOfTheButt a joke involving]] [[BareBottomedMonkey Jake's bare butt]], it's safe to infer that the bubbles came from there.
544* ''WesternAnimation/MyKnightAndMe'': The Spaghetti Incident. The fear of similar incidents happening is Lady Fontaine's reason to prevent princesses from eating anything with no protocol on the proper way to eat.
545* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
546** [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E3TheTicketMaster And then I said 'Oatmeal? Are you crazy?']] Not even the characters Pinkie Pie was speaking to know what she was talking about.
547** [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E23TheCutieMarkChronicles "No matter what we try, we always end up without our cutie marks -- and surprisingly often, covered in tree sap."]] Scootaloo mentions this after one attempt had them covered in tree sap, but we never learn anything more about those other attempts.
548** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E14TheLastRoundup The Last Roundup]]", we never find out just how Derpy caused so much damage to the town hall. [[note]]WordOfGod is that it's because of a scene cut for time; Derpy and Dash were kicking lightning out of clouds, and Derpy was too close to the town hall.[[/note]]
549** When Rainbow Dash is hospitalized in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E16ReadItAndWeep Read It And Weep]]", Pinkie Pie introduces her roommate, a pony in a body cast. One can only guess what happened to that poor pony.
550** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E7NewbieDash Newbie Dash]]", Spitfire whispers how she earned her AppropriatedAppellation to Rainbow Dash. The latter agrees that it's worse than her own "Crash" appellation.
551[[/folder]]
552
553[[folder:N]]
554* Episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TheNeverendingStoryTheAnimatedAdventuresOfBastianBalthazarBux'' frequently refer to past adventures that Bastian has had in Fantasia that the viewer never sees. For example, the episode "Belt of Invisibility" revolves around Gmal, the titular belt that Bastian was unknowingly tricked into accepting from Xayide in an unseen adventure.
555[[/folder]]
556
557[[folder:O]]
558* ''WesternAnimation/TheOblongs'':
559** In one scene, we cut in on the end of a conversation between Milo and Pickles:
560--->"So, anyway, that's how the panda bears broke into the Dairy Queen and WHY I need a lawyer!"
561** ''The Oblongs'' also had one on "The Golden Child" where Pickles mentions the time Milo stuffed Bob Oblong (the dad) into a guitar case and he somehow ended up at a Farm Aid concert.
562** In "Narcoleptic Scotty", we find out Milo was suspended from school for doing something unspeakable with a fish stick. When Pickles found out, she went to spank him, but, for reasons unknown, it turned into a luau with Milo serving mai tais and Pickles and Beth dancing in Hawaiian grass skirts and coconut bras.
563* ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'': PlayedForDrama with a mysterious event between Mr. Gar and Carol during their days on the SuperTeam P.O.I.N.T. that involved [[NoodleImplements a dropped sandwich, an explosion in a donut shop]], [[BreadEggsMilkSquick and some disaster which befell another hero, which strained Gar and Carol's relationship for a while and left Gar saddled with guilt]]. The full story behind the "sandwich incident" [[ResolvedNoodleIncident isn't revealed until]] "Let's Take a Moment".
564[[/folder]]
565
566[[folder:P]]
567* ''WesternAnimation/ThePatrickStarShow'':
568** Near the start of "[[Recap/ThePatrickStarShowS1E19HomeEcchFunAndDone Home ECCH!]]", Squidina tells Patrick that she poisoned her home ec teacher ''again''. We saw how it happened [[LethalChef this time]], but never the previous ones.
569** In "[[Recap/ThePatrickStarShowS2E2SuperStarsNowMuseumNowYouDont Now Museum, Now You Don't]]", Upturn ends up SayingTooMuch when instructing Cecil on his job. She hints that however her family got the museum exhibits, it might not be legitimate.
570--->'''Upturn''': You have no idea what unspeakable atrocities my family had to perpetrate-- uh, I mean, endure-- to obtain this collection. The horror. ''The bloodshed.'' The-- hmm?
571** In "[[Recap/ThePatrickStarShowS2E4TheWrathOfShmandorThereGoesTheNeighborhood The Wrath of Shmandor]]", thousands of tiny Shmandorians swarm Patrick's body to attack him. An exasperated Squidina reacts, "Oh, great! Patrick's covered in bugs again!"
572* ''WesternAnimation/PawPatrol'': According to Mayor Humdinger's mother, he's been afraid of the woods ever since some childhood encounter with a baby chipmunk.
573-->'''Mayor Humdinger:''' No creature that small should have teeth that big!
574* ''WesternAnimation/{{Pelswick}}'': The origin of the protagonist's paraplegia is never revealed, aside from it being some sort of "accident".
575* ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'' has several of these.
576** Most obviously: why can't [[PersonaNonGrata Skipper set foot in Denmark?]] All we know is that it has something to do with [[ArchEnemy Hans the puffin.]]
577** Also, "Have you ever had a 6 pound halibut shoved up your left nostril?" "Not the left one, no!" or "Reach down my throat and grab the fish!" "Yuck. This is the second grossest thing I have ever done."
578** And from "Truth Ache": "If you think that's embarrassing, you should see what Kowalski does when he thinks no one's watching."
579** Skipper will occasionally mention the many misadventures of [[TheFool Manfredi and Johnson]].
580--->'''Skipper:''' "Accident prone", Private? Oh, I've seen accident prone! Try Manfredi and Johnson! [[NoodleImplements And a Chinese lantern! And 6 bottles of rocket fuel!]]\
581'''Kowalski:''' ''(sniffles)'' Worst talent show ever!
582** And later:
583--->'''Skipper:''' Who hasn't gone stupid for a lady?\
584'''Rico and Kowalski:''' ''[raise wings]''\
585'''Skipper:''' Guatemala.\
586'''Rico:''' ''[[[HandsGoDown lowers wing]]]''\
587'''Skipper:''' Doris the Dolphin. \
588'''Kowalski:''' ''[hesitates]''\
589'''Skipper:''' Don't make me show them the tattoo.
590** From "Tangled in the Web", after revealing her past history of winning internet popularity contests, Marlene mentions she dropped out due to scandals, but doesn't elaborate.
591* There's a scene in the ''Westernanimation/PhineasAndFerb'' episode "That Sinking Feeling" where Candace gets attacked by seagulls while trying to bust her brothers. Her mother hears the birds over the phone and says, "Candace, if you're feeding the geese again, I hope you're not wearing a tube top."
592* Many [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg6OTTbKsmQ responses Pinky has]] to Brain asking "AreYouPonderingWhatImPondering" in ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain''. ...Actually, pretty much they all fit, since Pinky's logic and train of thought has only been followed once.
593** When a high school principal offers Brain a job as a teacher, he tells them that the last teacher disappeared under "strange circumstances".
594--->'''Pinky:''' What happened?\
595'''Principal:''' It's hard to explain if you don't understand the meat packing industry, but man -- ''(laughs)'' it was funny.
596** Also:
597--->'''Brain:''' I have discovered that there is one thing all my plans have in common.\
598'''Pinky:''' You mean Maury Povich?\
599'''Brain:''' Besides him.
600** And then there was the time he and Brain apparently time-traveled to Bethlehem during Christmas to do ''something'' that would have aided them in taking over the world.
601* ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamily'' had this exchange in one episode where [[HelicopterParents Oscar]] asks [[BrattyHalfPint Peabo]] to keep on eye on Penny while she's at camp.
602--->'''Peabo''': I don't know, Mr. Proud. [[{{Catchphrase}} Remember what happened the last time]] you asked me to spy on Penny?
603--->'''Oscar''': Those charges were dropped.
604[[/folder]]
605
606[[folder:R]]
607* This exchange from the ''WesternAnimation/RandyCunninghamNinthGradeNinja'' episode "So U Think U Can Stank":
608-->'''Heidi:''' Wonk this up, and I will webcast that video of you two taking a bath together!\
609'''Howard:''' We were three!\
610'''Heidi:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Not. That. Video.]]\
611'''Howard:''' ''Oh.''
612* '''WesternAnimation/RazzberryJazzberryJam'': Buddy has been responsible for at least two:
613** In the ColdOpen of “Super Sounds”, when ''something'' (which turns out to be Herbie) is seemingly roaring and making a huge racket downstairs:
614-->'''Louis''': Buddy! I’ve told you this before! No lions in the House Of Jam!
615** He hasn’t been allowed into the Jazzberries’ record library since “The Incident”, the mere mention of which causes him to hide his face and shudder. Apparently, he managed to create so many bits of broken record that the other Jazzberries are still finding them to this day, and scattered them so thoroughly around the House Of Jam that, [[BeyondTheImpossible somehow]], a piece got in to the {{Hammerspace}} where he and Krupa keep their drumsticks.
616* In the ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'' episode "My Fair Jet", Jet asks if he's ever made a mistake. Sunspot then shows him some pictures of mistakes he's made on his tablet. The giant runaway plant from one episode was brought up, but two other incidents (a "porcupine jumping contest" and a "maple syrup catapult") were brought up. Jet, at the very least, seems embarrassed by those incidents, and we have yet to learn exactly what went down in those events. We didn't even get to see the pictures.
617* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest}}'' which involved Race having to borrow a space shuttle from a Russian scientist, upon meeting, she slaps him "for Treste", and then kisses him "for Kabul". To both of these, Race responds that he was only doing his job.
618* ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'':
619** In ''School's Out'', Prickly mentions that T.J convinced the F.B.I. he was a Chinese secret agent and got him arrested. How? We never get to find out.
620** In the same scene, Prickly also mentions an incident where T.J. apparently used Prickly's personal account to order a motorboat for the school. Exactly how T.J. managed to gain access to Prickly's account was not revealed, and the only other thing known about it is that apparently the Kindergartners were part of the reason T.J. did this.
621* ''[[WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow Ren & Stimpy]]'':
622** Stimpy is terribly upset at the horrible thing Ren did to him and every time he brings it up he bursts into tears, later Mr. Horse who's portraying a psychologist asks him what he did to him and he loudly whispers something unintelligible to him and he calls him a lunatic and says he needs to be locked up for it, but we never find out the details behind it. This is a ShoutOut to an old Nickelodeon episode where Ren told a psychologist that he "smacked" Stimpy. The reaction is the same.
623** Ironically, in another episode, it's Mr. Horse whose hinges are a little loose...
624--->"All right, so I MADE a mistake! ONE MISTAKE! Can't a man start over?! Do I have to keep on PAYING?! HUH?! Maybe I should make ''another'' mistake! Maybe TWO more!"
625** Ren is having trouble getting to sleep so Stimpy decides to read to him. All we hear of the story is, "Once upon a time, the sky grew [[NightmareFuel black as blood!]]" and... "... And his last word, as his head rolled onto the floor was 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!' [[MoodWhiplash And everybody]] [[EsotericHappyEnding lived happily ever after.]]" It then cuts to Ren cowering under the bed.
626* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' gives us this little gem of a Jerryism when he and Beth are threatening to send Rick to a nursing home:
627--> '''Jerry:''' Well, now you can build baskets and watch Paul Newman movies on VHS and mentally scar the Boy Scouts every Christmas!\
628'''Beth:''' What does ''that'' mean?!\
629'''Jerry:''' It's personal.
630** In [[Recap/RickAndMortyS4E4ClawAndHoarderSpecialRicktimsMorty "Claw And Hoarder: Special Ricktims Morty"]], both Rick and Jerry see the talking cat's origin, but it's so awful Jerry has his memory erased and obviously the audience never finds out.
631* ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'': In the episode "Newsworthy", the brothers spend much of the episode trying to lure Hypno-potamus out of hiding by having one of them dress up as a female hippo. At first, Raph is the one in costume, but they switch to Mikey halfway through the episode. When Raph questions why he lost costume privileges, we get this conversation:
632-->'''Leo:''' Ugh, we've been over this.\
633'''Donnie:''' You ruined that woman's ninety-fifth birthday.\
634'''Raph:''' She's fine!
635* ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'': In "Junk Junkies", Rocko owes Pizza Face Pizza [[ShockinglyExpensiveBill $500.95]] in unpaid bills and he needs to find a way to raise the money so he doesn't have to [[WorkOffTheDebt deliver pizzas as punishment]]. Heffer suggests to Rocko that they rent their bodies out for scientific experiments. Rocko tells Heffer that it didn't work out the last time they did that.
636* ''WesternAnimation/Rugrats1991'':
637** In the very first episode, Stu and Drew decide to put on a puppet show for Tommy's birthday party. When Lou reminds them "Don't you remember what happened the last time you two put on a show?", Stu replies "Come on, pop, my arm healed and Drew sees almost perfectly out of that eye."
638** When Tommy gets sick in "Slumber Party" and Lou suggests "the Applesauce Cure": "Just hold him upside down and get some applesauce and an old sock big enough for his head...." Nobody's willing to try it again. "I remember that. There was applesauce everywhere!"
639** In "Mirrorland", Tommy and Chuckie return from their "trip" to Mirrorland, but Phil and Lil suspect them of being MirrorUniverse doubles. They test their identities by asking them questions:
640--->'''Lil:''' All right, Chuckie, what's the time you were [[BuffySpeak scaredest]] the most?\
641'''Chuckie:''' It was the time I got my head caught in a sock.
642** One Noodle Incident was unusual in that it happened pretty much on-screen, just out of view. In "Reptar on Ice", Didi and Stu take the children to a Reptar show. While still in the parking lot, Didi asks Stu if he has the tickets. He begins frantically searching himself. Cut to the kids talking, with Didi and Stu in the background. When the scene returns to the adults, they have the tickets.
643--->'''Didi:''' What I don't understand is why you put them ''there'' in the first place.\
644'''Stu:''' It seemed like a good idea at the time.
645** In "Let Them Eat Cake", the episode where Tommy's Uncle Ben gets married:
646--->'''Chaz:''' I can't believe Didi's little brother is getting married. [[IRememberItLikeItWasYesterday It seems like only yesterday]], he was running around in short pants, screaming..\
647'''Stu:''' That ''was'' yesterday, Chaz. Remember the bachelor party?
648** In "The Big Flush", when Tommy asks Chuckie, "When was the last time I ever got you lost?", Chuckie rattles off a list of "adventures" [[ContinuityNod seen in previous episodes,]] except for the last one: "... and the time I got stuck in the tomato bush, and that dog thought I was a tree..."
649** From "Angelica's Birthday", when the babies discover that Angelica is going to dress and act like a baby to avoid responsibilities on her birthday:
650--->'''Lil:''' If she's a baby, she'll be one of us!\
651'''Phil:''' And if she's just one of us, maybe she can't push us around anymore!\
652'''Lil:''' Or steal our toys anymore!\
653'''Chuckie:''' Or [[DraggedIntoDrag make us wear those frilly panties]]!\
654''(Tommy, Phil, and Lil all stare in shock at Chuckie.)''\
655'''Chuckie:''' Um, I don't wanna talk about it.
656** In "Naked Tommy", Stu becomes frustrated when Tommy won't wear his diaper (wanting to be naked like Spike). This exchange then occurs:
657--->'''Didi:''' Stu, it's nothing to worry about, it's perfectly natural.\
658'''Stu:''' Natural?! You think running around with no clothes on is natural?! I don't know what kind of family you're from, Deed, but in my family, we wore clothes! Except of course, for Great Aunt Lois, but that's another story.
659** When Charlotte took Tommy and Angelica with her to work in "Mommy's Little Assets", Angelica ended up [[ElevatorButtonsMash pressing all the buttons on the elevator]] which meant they had to stop at every floor before getting to her office (which according to Charlotte, normally takes about 30 seconds without any stops). When they finally reach her floor, a worried Jonathan said "You said 30 seconds. I thought you had been abducted by eco-terrorists again."
660** When Chuckie's "gardening (guardian) angel" appears in "Chuckie's Wonderful Life", Chuckie demands to know:
661--->'''Chuckie:''' Where was ya' the time I got my tongue stucked on that ice cube? Or the time I got my head caught in the back of that weird-looking chair? Or the time I trapped myself in the birdcage?!\
662'''Angel:''' Gimme a break! I'm only two, you know!
663** In "Angelica's Last Stand", Angelica tries to persuade Chuckie to help at her lemonade stand:
664--->'''Angelica:''' Chuckie, have I ever lied to you?\
665'''Chuckie:''' Well, there was that time you told me Spike was my brother, and the time you told me rocks was food, and the...
666** In "Send in the Clouds", Grandpa Lou is recounting all the times Stu got himself injured in a do-it-yourself home repair project:
667--->'''Grandpa:''' This one I ''still'' don't understand! "October 3rd: Changed the light bulb in the refrigerator. [[EpicFail Nine stitches and a case of pink eye]]"?
668** In "Autumn Leaves", the babies mistakenly think that a tree is sick when it starts shedding its leaves, especially Chuckie, who feels responsible for it happening because he spilled his apple juice on the tree. When he tells Tommy that giving apple juice to a tree that isn't an apple tree is like giving bird food to a goldfish, Phil remarks "[[BlackComedyPetDeath Oh, so that's why Flippy had to go to the hospital in the potty]]."
669** In "Opposites Attract", Chuckie meets a boy named Freddie who is even more cowardly than him. When Freddie tells Chuckie about sand lizards, Chuckie tells him off, saying that the only time he's ever been afraid of a sandbox was when he was at Angelica's house and Fluffy [[MistakenForToilet mistook Angelica's sandbox for a giant litter box and pooped in it]].
670[[/folder]]
671
672[[folder:S]]
673* ''WesternAnimation/ScaryGodmother'': The animated movie has one. Just like in the original book, it involves glitter and a dog. In the original book, it also was mentioned to be the reason the neighborhood had to evacuate for a week.
674* ''WesternAnimation/Sealab2021'': In "Radio Free Sealab" a heavily censored exchange has an FCC agent telling another agent about such an incident. All we know is that it involved an orangutan and that it was "legal in Tijuana." The DVD release has a much less censored version of the exchange as an extra. Like Watterson and the original Noodle Incident, the writers realized that the scene was much funnier when more was left to the imagination.
675* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'': We never find out about Catra's encounter with a mouse, except that Adora thinks it's hilarious to bring it up.
676* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
677** In "Die Hippie Die" Cartman mentions he has kept the town hippie-free on his own since he was five and a half. How he did this we don't find out.
678** The entire plot of "The Tale of Scrotie [=McBoogerballs=]".
679** After [[spoiler:Saddam Hussein]] is revealed to be the new Prime Minister of Canada in "It's Christmas in Canada", the French Canadian mime makes a comment about how it's not the first time he's tried to take over Canada.
680--->'''French Canadian Mime:''' Zat explains everything! The new Prime Minister was [[spoiler:Saddam Hussein]], once again trying to take over our beloved Canada like he did before.
681* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''
682** We never did find out what was in that embarrassing snapshot of [=SpongeBob=] at the Christmas Party from "The Secret Box".
683** In "No Free Rides", after Mrs. Puff lets [=SpongeBob=] slide through school, she contemplates moving away and starting a new boating school before deciding "No. ''Not again!''"
684** Done again when [=SpongeBob=] attempts to hitch a ride on Sandy's space shuttle in "Sandy's Rocket":
685--->'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' The moon! Can I go?\
686'''Sandy:''' No way, [=SpongeBob=]. Especially after your little mishap with my whirlybird.\
687''[[[BlackComedyBurst Pan over to Sandy's window to reveal a field of tombstones.]]]''
688** In one episode, as the TV in the Krusty Krab is turned on, we see the very end of a news report. In the corner of the screen is a real-life photo of a litter of adorable kittens. The news anchorwoman ends the report with "...and there were no survivors."
689** In "Spongicus", when Plankton considers his latest plan to be his best, Karen tells him he said the same thing about his plan to boil Mr. Krabs in a giant bisque. It apparently backfired horribly, as Plankton remarks "I can still feel the burns, which is why I've removed ''all'' molten liquid from this maneuver."
690** In the episode "Rock-a-Bye Bivalve" Patrick promises [=SpongeBob=] that he'll return from work at 6:00. The episode then cuts to 12:00 midnight, where Patrick returns home with a lampshade on his head and exclaims, "That was some party!"
691** And in "Hooky": "No one's taken a break at the Krusty Krab since the Chum Famine of '59!"
692** If the narrator for "Krusty Krab Training Video" is to be believed, "the war" sent Mr. Krabs into a period of PTSD and seclusion before setting up the Krusty Krab. The "war" in question is implied to have taken place at some point during UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar, where veterans of that conflict faced similar hardships in the years that followed. This is further backed up in later episodes, where he is revealed to have served in the Navy during that period.
693** As revealed in "Dying For Pie", Mr. Krabs has seen people die from eating exploding pies before. Eleven times, in fact. As has the doctor Squidward calls.
694** The fate of Mr. Puff in "Krusty Love". All we know is that he's a lamp now and Mrs. Puff doesn't like to talk about it.
695** In "Nature Pants", after Mr. Krabs scrapes [=SpongeBob=] off the grill, he mentions "That's the fourth time this week I had to scrape you off of something."
696** "Whale Watching" wasn't the first time Pearl accidentally broke through the front door of Mr. Krabs' anchor house whilst daydreaming. According to Mr. Krabs, they are running low on doors given on the number of spare doors he keeps in the closet.
697** In "The Hankering", while taking out an X-ray to show Plankton inside Mr. Krabs's stomach, Karen remarks "This isn't the first time this has happened."
698** In "Gary's Got Legs", after apologizing to Gary for trying to change him, [=SpongeBob=] apologizes to Patrick for not returning his hat. It then shows [=SpongeBob=] wearing a large top hat with a train going around the rim.
699** In "[=SpongeBob=] on Parade", Perch summarizes that the parade has ended in disaster like it does every year.
700** "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS13E22MyFriendPattyFUNBelievable FUN-Believable]]" opens with Squidward about to narrate, in detail, his beefs with 47 different people he interacted with that week. While he talks about Bubble Bass giving him chum-covered money and lists off five more people (including [=SpongeBob=], Patrick, and his grandmother), the rest of the details are unknown.
701** In "Sea-Man Sponge Haters Club", the mailman is the only character who doesn't tell a full story. All we get is a snippet of his at the end, where his encounter with [=SpongeBob=] apparently led to the mailman "coughing up mail for weeks".
702** In "Tutor Sauce", among the expenses Mr. Krabs auto-calculates in the rearview mirror, we see Squidward whacking a customer with a spatula for some reason.
703* ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks'':
704** "[[Recap/StarTrekLowerDecksS1E05CupidsErrantArrow Cupid's Errant Arrow]]": When Mariner teases Boimler about whether they'll be meeting his new "girlfriend" on the holodeck, he replies that he doesn't do that kind of thing... anymore.
705** "[[Recap/StarTrekLowerDecksS1E07MuchAdoAboutBoimler Much Ado About Boimler]]": Ramsey mentions having already had to save Captain Dayton and the ''Rubidoux'' once before, but doesn't elaborate on the specifics.
706** "[[Recap/StarTrekLowerDecksS2E04MugatoGumato Mugato, Gumato]]": Apparently Starfleet lost the USS ''Atlantis'' (one of Mariner's old ships) due to an infestation of alien lice, of all things. Starfleet covered it up because it was that embarrassing.
707--->'''Mariner:''' Do you know how embarrassing it is to lose a starship to ''lice?''
708** "[[Recap/StarTrekLowerDecksS2E05AnEmbarrassmentOfDooplers An Embarrassment of Dooplers]]": Malvus is pissed at Mariner for stranding him on Ceti Alpha IV, though she insists that she thought that there was life there. Boimler claims she did the same to him on Rubicon III and Axalus, and, while she admits to the latter, she insists that he stranded himself on the former.
709* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'':
710** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E5Rookies "Rookies"]]: After abseiling off the landing platform, Cody and Rex compare the current situation to something that happened on Tibrin:
711--->"No worse than that time on Tibrin."\
712"We had Jedi with us on Tibrin. They helped."
713** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E4SenateSpy "Senate Spy"]]:
714--->'''Anakin:''' I had to hitch a ride on a cargo freighter.\
715'''Padmé:''' What happened to your military transport?\
716'''Anakin:''' Ahh... it blew up.
717** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS4E14AFriendInNeed "A Friend in Need"]]: The last time the Death Watch appeared, in Season 2, they were allies of Count Dooku and the Separatists. In this episode, they are now enemies, and the only thing we know about the falling-out is that Dooku gave Pre Vizsla a nasty scar on his face in the process.
718** At the end of [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E9ANecessaryBond "A Necessary Bond"]], ancient lightsaber architect droid Huyang mentions that the last time any young Jedi had this much of an adventure building their lightsabers was Master Yoda. Obi-Wan cuts him off by saying that currently there's no time to tell the story.
719** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E1TheBadBatch "The Bad Batch"]]:
720*** Commander Cody's history with the titular SuperSoldier squad (he's clearly worked with them before and they respect him a lot more than they do other "reg" clones) is left unexplained.
721*** The Bad Batch's mission to Yalbec Prime that they were on before being called to Anaxes. The only details given are that Wrecker cut off the stinger of a Yalbec queen, causing multiple males of the species to attempt to mate with them.
722* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'':
723** How, exactly, Kanan came into possession of that Jedi holocron.
724** The exact circumstances under which Zeb and Sabine joined the ''Ghost'' crew. All we know is that in both cases, Kanan talked them into it.
725** [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E02FighterFlight "Fighter Flight"]]: Ezra implies he's flown a TIE fighter before.
726** [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E06EmpireDay "Empire Day"]]: [[FreezeFrameBonus Freeze-Frame]] and BilingualBonus reveals that the ticker at the bottom of the [=HoloNet=] News transmission says that lothcats attacked a farm -- which, given that lothcats, aka tookas, are the ''Star Wars'' equivalent of housecats, begs some questions.
727** [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E01TheLostCommanders "The Lost Commanders"]]: With the [[UnCancelled later revival]] of ''The Clone Wars'', the Noodle Incidents in this episode later became examples of {{Futureshadowing}}. At the time is aired, however, details were scarce:
728*** Rex mentions the Siege of Mandalore for the first time[[note]]The Siege was later depicted for the first time in brief flashbacks in the novel ''[[Literature/StarWarsAhsoka Ahsoka]]'', then the full story was told in [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E9OldFriendsNotForgotten "Old Friends Not Forgotten"]] and [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E10ThePhantomApprentice "The Phantom Apprentice"]].[[/note]]
729---->"Ahsoka Tano. I fought at her side from the [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsMovie Battle of Christophsis]] to the Siege of Mandalore."
730*** The exact circumstances under which Rex, Gregor and Wolffe got their control chips are not revealed.[[note]]Rex's circumstances were later fully revealed in [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E11Shattered "Shattered"]], although Wolffe and Gregor's remain unknown.[[/note]]
731** [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E06BloodSisters "Blood Sisters"]]: Exactly how did Ketsu wind up betraying Sabine and leaving her for dead?
732** In [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E16ShroudOfDarkness "Shroud of Darkness"]], Ahsoka states she last saw Anakin before he left to [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith rescue Chancellor Palpatine]]. In [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E19TwilightOfTheApprentice "Twilight of the Apprentice"]], it transpires that she met and had a duel with [[spoiler:Maul]]. Neither encounter was ever shown by the time ''Rebels'' aired its second season. As with the Rex examples above, the later revival of ''The Clone Wars'' filled in these gaps, changing them from Noodle Incidents to {{Futureshadowing}}.
733** [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E17DoubleAgentDroid "Double Agent Droid"]]: AP-5 barges in on Wedge while he's trying to use [[NobodyPoops the refresher]]. When this is mentioned later, Zeb says that he did it to him as well.
734* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsResistance'': [[Recap/StarWarsResistanceS2E8RendezvousPoint "Rendezvous Point"]] has Venisa Doza mention several past adventures she and her droid Torch have been on, including incidents at Bakura and [[MythologyGag Lehon]] and an escape from [[ComicBook/StarWarsPoeDameron Agent Terex]].
735* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'':
736** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E21JokingVictim "Joking Victim"]]: Sadie explains to Steven (who's helping at the Big Donut) that they don't make their own donuts on-site since "The Accident". The camera then pans to a corner of the room with [[BlackComedyBurst a human body outlined in a large scorch mark on the wall]]. This is revisited in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E6StevenFloats "Steven Floats"]], where Sadie tells Steven that a worker-safety lawsuit was dropped, and they'll be able to make fresh donuts again.
737** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E33GarnetsUniverse "Garnet's Universe"]] is all about Steven making up a story about what Garnet did on a recent mission. We never do find out how the mission ''actually'' went.
738** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E43MaximumCapacity "Maximum Capacity"]]:
739*** Greg apparently lost the deed to his uncle's mansion.
740*** Amethyst has shapeshifted into Rose in front of Greg at least once before. It's implied to be the reason they stopped hanging out with each other.
741** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E44MarbleMadness "Marble Madness"]] revolves around the Gems dealing with robots arriving from space. Before Steven convinces them to follow one to see where it goes, it's implied that they were arriving on a near-daily basis for several weeks.
742** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E5StoryForSteven "Story for Steven"]]: When Garnet warps in during the flashback, she's carrying two bubbled Gems which she quickly sends away.
743** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E46TheMessage "The Message"]]: Amethyst states that she's never started a car WITH a key before, then after starting the car using a key she says that it's "way easier".
744** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E47PoliticalPower "Political Power"]]: Mayor Dewey mentions that it's his job to help keep the peace in Beach City, and that panic and riot didn't work out well for "Ocean Town". Steven's never heard of that place, but the rest of the town seems to know...
745--->'''Mayor Dewey:''' Things could be worse. We could be in Ocean Town!\
746'''Mr. Fryman:''' ''[above crowd laughter]'' Too soon!
747** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E1FullDisclosure "Full Disclosure"]]: Amethyst suggests they build a moat around the Gem temple, and offers to use her shape-shifting powers to become "the crocodile". Garnet shoots her down and Pearl agrees with Garnet, saying "You always say you'll be the crocodile, but you ''never'' commit!"
748** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E16OnionFriend "Onion Friend"]]: Amethyst reunites with her old friend Vidalia and points out that she's losing her edge because she's now a housewife who wears slippers. Vidalia's response?
749--->"You don't know what I've done in these shoes!"
750** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E19NightmareHospital "Nightmare Hospital"]]: A pair of hospital employees talk about someone called Dr. West and how he "ain't gonna like" something, with no further details beyond that. The vaguely intimidating way the two laugh doesn't help.
751** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E21CatchAndRelease "Catch and Release"]]: Peridot tries to escape from the Crystal Gems by flushing herself down the toilet in Steven's bathroom. Amethyst tells her that it won't work, she's tried it before. That begs the question: why did Amethyst want to flush herself in the first place?
752*** [[AmbiguousSyntax Or maybe Amethyst tried to flush PERIDOT down the toilet...]]
753** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E20SadiesSong "Sadie's Song"]]: Ever since Steven's act two years ago, Beach-a-Palooza has required all performers to wear clothing.
754** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E24TooFar "Too Far"]]: Peridot comments on Pearl's habits, such as [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs crying, singing, and crying while singing]]. It isn't made clear what exactly Pearl was crying and/or singing about.
755** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E5HitTheDiamond "Hit the Diamond"]]: The leader of the Ruby Squad insists on double-checking the barn, telling the disguised [[TheMole Crystal Gem Ruby]] that they all know what happened "last time", which provokes laughter from the rest of the squad.
756** One exchange from [[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E9TooShortToRide "Too Short to Ride"]] manages to imply that a) there has been a previous time someone (quite possibly Amethyst) has fooled Mr. Smiley by telling him that Onion is trying to set the roller coaster on fire, and b) that this worked because at some previous point Onion actually did try to set the roller coaster on fire. And when Mr. Smiley runs to stop Onion, he yells that he's "still paying off that last lawsuit!"
757** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E10TheNewLars "The New Lars"]]: Apparently seagulls once got stuck in the Big Donut's vents.
758** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E13KikisPizzaDeliveryService "Kiki's Pizza Delivery Service"]]: Jenny goes to see the band Uber Rage, in their first concert since they were banned from the US for unknown reasons.
759** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E20Bismuth "Bismuth"]]: The titular Gem reminisces with Garnet and Pearl about a few missions they went on during the Gem War, including one where she and Pearl attacked a dropship. (There's some implication that this is also the origin of MinorMajorCharacter [[spoiler:Nephrite]], who is of the same type as the only mentioned Gem and currently lives in a crashed dropship.)
760** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS4E3BuddysBook "Buddy's Book"]]: Connie wrote a paper about raccoons having heat vision after getting erroneous information off the Internet.
761** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS4E6LastOneOutOfBeachCity "Last One Out of Beach City"]]:
762*** Greg seems to have gotten on Barb's bad side before and isn't keen to repeat the experience.
763*** Ocean Town is revisited, where we see a "welcome" sign for it that reads "[[OurSloganIsTerrible No Longer On Fire]]".
764** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS4E9ThreeGemsAndABaby "Three Gems and a Baby"]]:
765*** Amethyst apparently spent an unknown amount of time in the form of a ''toilet''.
766*** This [[{{Pun}} gem]]:
767---->'''Pearl:''' It wasn't such a big deal when that teenage girl kidnapped Steven!\
768'''Greg:''' That was his babysitter, she took him to the park! ''[laughing]'' You ''really'' scared her when you threw that jungle gym at her!
769** In [[Recap/StevenUniverseS4E14ThatWillBeAll "That Will Be All"]], Greg remarks that getting abducted by Homeworld Gems and having to be rescued from a PeopleZoo "has to be the third-craziest weekend I've had."
770** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS4E23AreYouMyDad "Are You My Dad?"]]: Steven knows from experience that "the Big Donut does not accept magic beans as currency."
771** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E11LarsOfTheStars "Lars of the Stars"]]: The adventures of Lars and the Off Colours as they became badass {{Space Pirate}}s include stealing one of Emerald's shuttles and crashing it on Upsilon 9, impersonating imperial officers at a cosmic jubilee and sneaking past 67 Citrine guards to steal the Sun Incinerator. We also don't know how exactly they got off Homeworld, where they were last seen, and the only explanation Lars gives for where he got his new captain outfit with a BadassCape is "Stole 'em."
772** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E13YourMotherAndMine "Your Mother and Mine"]] ends with Steven and Garnet joining Lars and the Off Colours to raid an asteroid mine for supplies.
773** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E17CantGoBack "Can't Go Back"]]: [[ConspiracyTheorist Ronaldo]], put in charge of a telescope to be used to watch for any signs of Gem activity in space, finds something weird on the Moon and decides to bother Steven about it. When asked why he didn't just go to the mayor...
774--->'''Steven:''' Can't you call Nanefua?\
775'''Ronaldo:''' Not a fourth time!
776** In [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseTheMovie the movie]], Bismuth's default outfit has changed from what she was wearing upon her return to the show in Season 5, something that usually only happens if a Gem's been poofed and reformed. No explanation is given for why, [[ResolvedNoodleIncident until the release of]] ''VideoGame/UnleashTheLight''.
777** ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseFuture'': In [[Recap/StevenUniverseFutureS1E3RoseBuds "Rose Buds"]], the Human Zoo turning up at Beach City is apparently not the first time Greg's had to deal with a large number of exes showing up all at once.
778* In [[Characters/{{Hawkman}} Gentleman Ghost]]'s only appearance in ''WesternAnimation/SuperFriends'', he escapes from his tomb and seeks revenge on Superman and Wonder Woman for previously defeating him and sealing him in the tomb. Other than a brief flashback of the two heroes putting a coffin in the tomb, this previous encounter is not elaborated on.
779[[/folder]]
780
781[[folder:T]]
782* ''WesternAnimation/TeachersPet'': In the first episode "Muttamorphosis", Principal Strickler goes on a rant about his hatred of dogs and brings up that in the fourth grade, he got his thumb bit off by a dog that was brought to school, which is very likely the source of his animosity towards canines. As he sees himself out, Principal Strickler is reminded by Mrs. Helperman that he is to check on the fifth grade class, causing the principal to hint at another unpleasant incident he suffered in his youth.
783-->'''Principal Strickler''': Oh, yes. I remember the fifth grade. Don't get me started!
784* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'':
785** When Cyborg disguises himself as a member of HIVE Academy, his "initiation" involves a pink dress and a unicycle. The only explanation provided is, "Don't laugh, ya have to ''eat'' the unicycle".
786** The end of the episode has another example, which involves [[NoodleImplements pink shorts, a tutu, and a rubber chicken]].
787--->''Oh Cyyyyborg~!''\
788'''Robin:''' You left the Titans.\
789'''Beast Boy:''' That means you have to be initiated.\
790'''Raven:''' ''Aaaaall over again.''\
791'''Cyborg:''' ''[is dragged away, screaming for mercy]''
792** The Sadie Hawkins Dance at HIVE Academy:
793--->'''Bumblebee:''' ''[to Cyborg]'' You're gonna pay for that!
794** There's also the incident involving Raven's first run-in with Dr. Light when she basically goes semi-EldritchAbomination and drags him under her cloak. We don't know exactly what happens under there, and he's only there for a couple of seconds before the others snap her out of it, but whatever she did, it was enough to drain the color from both his ''face'' AND his ''costume''. And was apparently so horrifically traumatizing that merely imitating the form later is enough to get him to ''calmly request to return to jail''.
795** Not exactly an incident, but the pilot episode features Starfire and Robin entering the room just as she concludes: "And ''that'' is the secret to traveling faster than light!"
796** In "Sisters", Robin has Starfire try cotton candy for the first time and Starfire states that she once ate a piece of actual cotton. It's never explained when she did this or why.
797* ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'': "Break Van" mentions that Donald and Douglas' [[AlwaysIdenticalTwins identical appearances]] caused confusion, and in "The Deputation" The Fat Controller decides to give them [[IdenticalTwinIDTag nameplates to avoid mixups]] after they're invited to stay. Both remarks allude to stories from ''[[Literature/TheRailwaySeries The Twin Engines]]'', in which they [[ObfuscatingStupidity pretend not to know which of them was the engine that was ordered]], and, after being given numbered tenders, try to pull a TwinSwitch to cover for each other -- [[UnfinishedEpisode the planned adaptation was never completed]], leaving [[OrphanedReference only these references]].
798* In ''{{Creator/Toonami}}'''s earliest years, [[WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast Moltar]] mentions he used to date [[Anime/SailorMoon Sailor Jupiter]]. But something happened between them and they broke up. (The Toonami staff may not have been informed of Sailor Jupiter's [[ValuesDissonance age]].)
799* ''[[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Total Drama Island]]'':
800** In "Camp Castaways", [[TroubledButCute Duncan]], [[AlphaBitch Heather]] and [[PerkyGoth Gwen]] have been confessing their sins to each other:
801--->'''Gwen:''' Whoa! So that's what you went to juvie hall for.\
802'''Duncan:''' ''(visibly depressed)'' Yeah, but at least it's not as bad as what Heather did.\
803'''Heather:''' I admit, it was a little unorthodox, but it doesn't come close to what Gwen did, if that's even your real name.\
804''[Gwen looks away nervously]''
805*** Justified, as Heather makes the statement after the campfire ritual that "everything we confessed back there '''stays''' back there."
806** "[[BeautyIsBad Justin]] -- the Anti-Me. So we meet again." Sadly, this episode is the only time we actually see [[InsufferableGenius Noah]] and Justin interact in canon.
807** Crimson from [[WesternAnimation/TotalDramaPresentsTheRidonculousRace The Ridonculous Race]] went through one, as evidenced by what she said after successfully riding a mechanical bull.
808--->'''Crimson:''' Riding mechanical bulls is way easier than real bulls.\
809''[Ennui and Loki stare at her]''\
810'''Crimson:''' I don't wanna talk about it.
811** In "Cone in 60 Seconds" from the spinoff series ''[[WesternAnimation/TotalDramaRama DramaRama]]'', the kids get excited when they hear the music from the ice cream truck thinking that it's coming, only for it to actually be coming from a boombox being played by a cat riding a skateboard. When Duncan comments on the weirdness of what they just saw, Beth says that it's only the fourth weirdest thing she's ever seen.
812* ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'': Kup was famed for having a war story every time something reminded him of the events... and he was [[SeenItAll reminded of a lot of things]]. We never actually hear the details, but Grimlock is very interested in the Petro-rabbits that reminded Kup about the current air raid taking place. It was a good story.
813** One of Kup's references in the movie crosses this with a bit of GallowsHumor:
814--->'''Kup:''' This reminds me of the shrike-bats of Dromedon!\
815'''Hot Rod:''' How did you beat them?\
816'''Kup:''' I'm trying to remember, there were an awful lot of casualties that day... Oh yeah! [[ReversePolarity We inverted polarity]]!
817* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'': This trope seems to have a great liking for Captain Fanzone, technophobic head of the Detroit Police Department. Professor Isaac Sumdac mentions at the unveiling of his latest line of police robots that, as he has updated the machines' recognition systems, there will hopefully be no repeats of "that unfortunate incident with the Captain's wife," to which Fanzone scowls visibly. Fanzone himself also mentions a different incident which befell his mother-in-law, presumably also having to do with robots/machines gone haywire.

820[[folder:U]]
821* ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012'':
822** In part 3 of the Spider Verse arc, Spidey gets chased by an angry mob and has this to say after somebody throws a ''chicken'' at him.
823--->"This is exactly what happened to me last time I went to Ren Faire."
824** In "Burrito Run", Spidey shoots down Squirrel Girl's attempt to bring her squirrels on their trip to a local burrito stand. The only reason why is this:
825--->'''Spidey:''' [[TwoWordsAddedEmphasis Two words]]: Pistachio Incident.\
826'''SG:''' ''(whispering to the squirrels)'' You're innocent in my eyes.
827[[/folder]]
828
829[[folder:V]]
830* Used straight many times in ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBros'', and also subverted many times, when previously unexplained incidents are explained: Billy Quizboy's mechanical hand ("Where did you get that thing anyway?" "That's a good question. I have no idea."), Rusty's pterodactyl, The Monarch having "the charred remains of Wonder Boy [sent to] his beloved Captain Sunshine", Dr. Girlfriend's her first attempt at being a supervillain ("My murderous moppets were hard to handle"), and Henchmen #24's backstory that apparently involved his dad marrying his ex-girlfriend.
831** Venture Bros. had two entire episodes that were Noodle Incidents: "Escape to the House of Mummies Part II" references a Part I in the "Previously on..." and a Part III in the "Next time on...", but neither of these episodes exist. The result is a series of out of context clips that never get fully explained, but apparently involve time-traveling historical figures, two Brock Samsons, and an Osiris cult trying to create a perfect man.
832** Brock Samson and Hauser "were in 'Nam together." All we know otherwise is that it wasn't during the war.
833** Colonel Gathers tends to drop these fairly often, claiming knowledge of (among other things) a second Revolutionary War that was invisible and apparently led to OSI's founding, the President not actually being the President, the United States shutting people's third eyes, and that [[ArbitrarySkepticism female Draculas are fictitious.]]
834[[/folder]]
835
836[[folder:W]]
837* ''WesternAnimation/TheWackyAdventuresOfRonaldMcdonald'': The live-action FramingDevice of "The Monster O'[=McDonaldland=] Loch" ends with Ronald stating how Birdie can always be counted on to do the right thing in spite of her tendency to gossip. Sundae from offscreen responds "Let's not forget the chewbone incident".
838* ''WesternAnimation/WeBareBears'':
839** In "Icy Nights", Ice Bear is implied to have a history with Yana the barista. When he asks for help tracking down the guys who stole his Roomba, Yana complains that the last time she helped Ice Bear, her car got totaled and she needed to get thirty stitches in her shoulder.
840** In "Icy Nights II", Yana and Ice Bear start listing off various incidents where one of them saved the other's life. There's some debate over who saved who in Halifax.
841* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheWildThornberrys'', Marianne sternly tells her children not to order pizza from New York, citing that one time, they did so...while they were in ''South Africa''.
842* In ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'', teachers recall that Stella once blew up an entire potions classroom- so badly that people who have ''telekinesis'' are struggling to repair it months later- using [[LightEmUp light]] magic. Not fire magic. Light magic.
843[[/folder]]
844
845[[folder:X]]
846* The Ys, the rivals of the spy family ''WesternAnimation/TheXs'', imply they did ''something'' to another family called the Zs. The mere implication is enough to horrify the Xs, with Mrs. X stating "''They told us it was an accident.''"
847* Happens on ''WesternAnimation/XavierRenegadeAngel'', when a man covered in prosthetic body parts starts taking them all off in preparation to kick Xavier's ass and his friend says "I haven't seen him this heated since ''The Incident''!"
