* ''Webcomic/RosiannaRabbit'' begins with the titular character being humiliated from [[SplittingPants tearing her panties]] and attempting to kill herself by jumping off a building, only to receive further embarrassment when [[BungledSuicide she's left hanging from a corner of the building by her torn panties as more people laugh at her]]. This starting point makes it clear that a major part of the webcomic's premise is Rosianna being [[ButtMonkey very unfortunate]].

* The very first thing we see in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'' is the Columbia Pictures and Marvel opening logos [[LogoJoke violently glitching out]], followed by the stamp " [[UsefulNotes/TheComicsCode Approved by the Comics Code Authority]]", immediately establishing that this is going to be a ''deep'' dive into Spider-Man lore (and a very meta and trippy one at that.)

* ''WebVideo/DaisyBrown'' 's first upload is her casually showing how she feeds Alan, [[ConditionedToAcceptHorror apparently not realizing that most people haven't even seen a monster before]].

to:

* ''WebVideo/DaisyBrown'' 's ''WebVideo/CorridorDigital'': The first complete animation shown in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXpETSoNWxY We Made Slightly Offensive Bowling Animations]]" is one depicting a gutter ball as an AddledAddict which eventually [[VomitIndiscretionShot profusely vomits on-screen]]. This sets the tone for the "We Made Slightly Offensive" series, which is based entirely around [[CrossesTheLineTwice the hilariously flippant treatment of disturbing subject matter]].

* ''Literature/TheLastAdventureOfConstanceVerity'' opens with Constance Verity trying to get a job interview and what she thinks is a normal job firm. She reluctantly admits that yes, she is ''that'' Constance Verity to an interviewer that recognizes her, lists off a bunch of impressive skills she has and that while she might be overqualified for the job she's signing up for, she really wants a normal desk-job just for the change of pace. She voices disappointment (but not surprise) when she finds out that the business is actually a {{Cult}} that wants to sacrifice her to the Earth (which, turns out is an EldritchAbomination) and she defeats them easily ([[GenreSavvy while listing off the various predictable story beats before they happen]]) and casually leaves the cleanup to a government agency that was formed specifically to clean up after her adventures. On top of being an EstablishingCharacterMoment for the main character (Connie being TheChosenOne and WeirdnessMagnet who's SeenItAll, done it all and finds it all redundant), it also establishes the WorldOfWeirdness and FantasticallyIndifferent sense of humor the ''Literature/ConstanceVerity'' Trilogy runs on.

* ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'' opens up with a Custodian announcing that [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a text-to-speech device]] has been successfully implemented into the Golden Throne, allowing the God-Emperor of Mankind to speak for the first time in 10,000 years. The first things he says? [[AC:About fucking time. I have so many things to complain about.]] As the Emperor learns just how far his once mighty Imperium of Man has fallen and how much of the mess the galaxy has become, he sets forth trying to "unfuck" things. It sets the stage for many colorful critiques on the multiple [[{{Retcon}} retcons]] and odd choices {{TabletopGame/Warhammer40000}}. HilarityEnsues

** First comes the first deaths, of [[spoiler:Sayaka Maizono, the girl who has taken the role of your {{Player Character}}'s assistant/LoveInterest, and Mukuro-as-Junko, who is killed for defying the game]]. This establishes that AnyoneCanDie, [[SacrificialLamb even a seemingly important character whom you've devoted your time into getting to know]].
