** When Dan is playing ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' and [[LovableCoward scared out of his mind]] at 5 AM with Bonnie lurking nearby outside, he wonders out loud if he'll survive if he just keeps the left door closed for the remainder of the night. Simply closing the left door, leaving it closed, and doing nothing else actually ''is'' an effective CheeseStrategy for nights 1 and 2: the only two HostileAnimatronics who can attack through the right door are Chica and Freddy: the former can't get you unless you raise the camera, the latter doesn't move on those nights, and you'll have ''just'' enough power to do it until 6 AM.

* During ''WebVideo/CinemaSins''' take on ''Film/DieHard'', they give the movie a sin when they learn about Hans' motivation is to get the 640 million dollars in negotiable bearer bonds in their vault, citing this shouldn't be the case because of the Fiscal Responsibility Act, and concludes that Nakatomi must be into some ''serious'' criminal activity and asks "what kind of shit is Nakatomi up to?!" In the original script, Nakatomi (called the Klaxxon Oil Company in the original) actually ''were'' villains who were selling arms to a Chilean dictatorship, thus explaining why they had shady goings-on with their money.

AccidentallyCorrectWriting in {{Web Video}}s.

* ''WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob'':
** In his video on ''Film/{{Heartbeeps}}'', Brad Jones break character to describe how difficult writing the video was, as the film almost felt like a parody of romance movies. According to one account, ''Heartbeeps'' actually ''was'' intended to be a parody, only to end rewritten as a straight romance by the time filming began.
** In his review of ''Crackdown Mission'', during the segments taken from ''Girl With a Gun''[[note]]a [[ForeignRemake Taiwanese version]] of ''Film/Ms45''[[/note]] the Snob points out how graphic scenes are shown in negative, then wonders if it was the film's way of censoring the gore. According to ''WebVideo/DejaView'', that's exactly what it is; due to strict censorship policies at the time, many Taiwanese films would often remove objectionable stills from the reel. By having the offending scenes be in negative, ''Girl with a Gun'' was able to keep the scenes while obscuring the gore.
* ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'':
** When Arin plays ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar'' with Jon, he calls a boomerang-wielding enemy "Boomer Man". The enemy's actual name is "Boomer".
** Arin jokingly suggests a line for Blaze in a cutscene of ''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Sonic '06]]'' seconds before she says it for real.
--->'''Arin:''' She's like "Come back for more, huh?" and he's like "Ah, shut up".\\
'''Jon:''' "Not everything's about sex."\\
'''Arin:''' She's like "Of course it is!" She's all, like, cynical like she's been broken down by the world. And she's like "What else would it be? You're so naive!" and like, walks away.\\
'''Jon:''' And he's just like, "I don't even care anymore. It used to rile me up, and now I realize that, you know..."\\
'''Blaze:''' [[ClicheStorm You're so naive.]]\\
'''Jon:''' [[BigWhat What?!]]
** When playing ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'', Arin, in-character as Yoda making terrible ''Franchise/StarWars'' puns, jokes Yoda's car is a To'''yoda'''. Toyota is owned by the Toyoda family, who changed the spelling to give a more modern look to the company.
** When playing ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' Danny, who has never played the game before and has ''no clue'' what is going to happen, actually manages to do this twice:
*** When Link first meets Mido, Danny is taken aback by how the guy looks, begins mocking him for resembling some kind of monkey puppet, and finishes by asking "Are we even the same race?!" [[spoiler:He ends up being right that they actually are different races, with Mido being Kokiri and Link being Hylian]].
*** Later, he's casually pretending to be Sheik [[HoYay hitting on Link]] and remarks "You look really good. You were six the last time I saw you!" only to be corrected by Arin that Sheik is new and they've only now first met. [[spoiler:Naturally, as Sheik is actually Zelda and Arin was lying to preserve the twist, Danny was right that the last time they met they were only children (albeit he was a little off about the age)]].
** During their playthrough of ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' Arin accidentally falls in the lava which bounces him up and glitches him through the platform, and he [[IMeantToDoThat brushes it off]] as a "deliberate {{Speed Run}}ning tactic" called "The Ass Burn And Grind". Indeed, deliberately bouncing off of lava to reach areas faster actually ''is'' a Speed Running tactic that is used to great effect in world-record runs of the game.
* WebVideo/JonTron:
** In a popular video, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ci2hj7CSHI Waterproofing My Life with FLEX TAPE]]", he makes a joke about Phil Swift having sniffed too much Flex Glue, a product which didn't exist at the time. A few months later, Flex Glue actually came out for real. Jon brings this up in his sequel video, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs2WRpu5syw Flex Seal II: The Flexening]]", jokingly taking credit for coming up with the idea and demanding royalties.
** In his review of ''VideoGame/ClockTower1995'', he attempts to escape in the car to which the protagonist refuses. Then [=JonTron=] edits a part where the protagonist rushes out in the car. However, if one examined the car 3 times, the main character will get in it and run away [[spoiler:though it doesn't go well for her.]]
** In "Dr. Ho: License to Practice", Jon wished ''Franchise/{{Predator}}'' would be in ''Franchise/MortalKombat''. It already happened four years before the video was uploaded with ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX''.
** Episode 3 of ''Starcade'' has two such moments:
*** At the start of the video, Jon's Imperial NES won't let him play a game based on ''Film/ANewHope'', and suggests he instead plays ''Alderaan Was An Inside Job''. In ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'', not only did the Empire tried to cover up the Death Star destroying the planet in question, one of the cover stories was that Alderaan destroyed itself when it tried to make a superweapon.
*** Later on, Jon comments on how the firing rate of blasters seem to get faster, leading to a skit where Jon (dressed as a university professor) predicts "by the far-off year of 2002, the blaster will be firing off [at infinite speed]". One comment noted that ''VideoGame/JediKnightIIJediOutcast'' had a [[GoodBadBugs bug]] where the sniper rifle could fire 999 shots in one second.
* WebVideo/RealTimeFandub:
** When the video of ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' was made, some of the voice actors making said dub had never played the game in question. But even some of the lines they made up on the fly without any familiarity with the source material still managed to fit with the canon storyline, much to their surprise:
*** After Sonic and Shadow's fight on Prison Island in the Hero Story, Alfred (as Eggman) jokingly tells the pair that Prison Island is about to blow up...and the other actors have to point out to him that it really ''is'' about to blow up. Cue Prison Island exploding, to which Alfred responds with repeat shouts of "OH MY GOD, I DIDN'T KNOW!" as the rest of the cast laughs.
*** In the Dark Story, when the Biolizard is unleashed, Eggman says "Shadow could have been a true beast, and now you shall die!". His VA is promptly informed that the Biolizard is, in fact, Gerald Robotnik's original prototype for Shadow, and seems genuinely surprised to find this out.
*** During the game's ending, where Shadow appears to have died, Rouge (voiced by Blue Lennox) calls Shadow "Hedgehog Jesus". Slightly later, while the recording session is being wrapped up, Blue wonders whether that means Shadow will come back to life and is immediately informed that he was indeed brought back in later games.
** In the video of ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'', Mephiles introduces himself by saying he's "part lizard". Given that he later mentions "kinning" Shadow and trying to mimic him 100%, the above-mentioned fact that the Biolizard is a prototype of Shadow makes it likely that Shadow has leftover lizard DNA, therefore making him part lizard.
* ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'':
** During his review of ''Film/TankGirl'', Doug gets repeatedly frustrated with the overuse of comic drawings instead of live action and guesses that the makers simply forgot to shoot several scenes and had to improvise. As it turns out, he was partially correct -- in an interview, co-creator Jamie Hewlett said that he and Alan Martin had to animate several scenes because the producers forgot to film them.
** During his Disneycember review of ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfIchabodAndMrToad'' he muses over how protagonist and hero Ichabod Crane is a [[DesignatedHero malicious jerk]] and how Brom Bones, treated as TheBully and antagonist, [[VillainyFreeVillain doesn't do anything particularly villainous]] aside from antagonize the jerk Ichabod and could very well be a nice guy. He even points out how Brom seems to treat Katrina quite well and remarks how in any other story Brom would be the hero. This is ''absolutely'' the case in [[Literature/TheLegendOfSleepyHollow the original tale]], where Ichabod is an obnoxious VillainProtagonist Yankee who invades a Dutch-American community, becomes an AbhorrentAdmirer and GoldDigger to the local beauty Katrina Van Tassel, and is mercifully driven out of town by the clever ruse of the local good-ole-boy Brom.
** Near the end of his review of ''Film/JurassicPark'', he jokes that John Hammond should have cloned wooly mammoths. In [[Literature/JurassicPark the original novel]], Hammond did just that to demonstrate the potential of cloning long-extinct species.
** He accuses ''Film/TheMatrixReloaded'' of going into "video game land" (albeit because of the now dated CGI) during the big Smith fight and jokes that they should just assemble into the shape of a big giant monster when he sees them all pile on Neo. That's ''exactly'' what ends up happening in one of the [[VideoGame/TheMatrixPathOfNeo video game adaptations]]: Neo faces a big giant Smith monster known as "Mega-Smith" as the FinalBoss.
** In the review of the ''Film/StreetFighter'' film, he remarks about the inclusion of the huge cast and compares it to "A Street Fighter Christmas." Not only was the film ChristmasRushed to tie into merchandise by Creator/{{Hasbro}} , but ExecutiveMeddling did indeed [[https://www.theguardian.com/games/2018/jul/16/inside-street-fighter-movie-jean-claude-van-damme-kylie-minogue mandate the inclusion of said characters]] as by the request of Creator/{{Capcom}}.
** In his review of ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'' he concludes his review by saying that the whole movie is like a [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadrunner Road Runner cartoon]]. Around 6 years later when ''Film/SpaceJamANewLegacy'' premiered, a gag in the film has Wile E Coyote chasing the Road Runner in a scene from Mad Max. This was mentioned in his review of Space Jam: A New Legacy humorously thinking that they stole his idea and was threatening to sue with Hyper Fan Girl as his attorney.
* A number of things the players of the ''LetsPlay/Persona4EnduranceRun'' do end up accurately predicting some things. For example, their overuse of God Hand when using Chie accidentally predicts said move being one of her {{Signature Move}}s in ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena'' (being one of her Super Moves).
* In ''WebVideo/InternetPersonalityVangelus''[='=] review of a Anime/{{Dancougar}} action figure, he admits that he doesn't know much about the show, but he hopes its CoolSword has an appropriately awesome name, like "Dankuuken". That is in fact the sword's name, and Vangelus' Subtitles (which are pretty shocked themselves) promise that he didn't look the name up before filming.
* When ''WebVideo/TwoBestFriendsPlay'' played an untranslated game in Portuguese called ''Insanidade'', seeing the word "jogo" (game) written in-game several times inspired a long-staying RunningGag of calling things "a mysterious jogo". They all pronounce the word "''joe''-go", which is mostly correct, but state in a much later video that they were ''trying'' to mispronounce it as a joke.
* In an ''Creator/AchievementHunter'' Let's Play video on ''Series/FamilyFeud'', one question asked for characters WesternAnimation/BugsBunny faced off against. Creator/GavinFree claims that Bugs went up against Wile E. Coyote, but the others dismiss it and get the odd answer of "Porky Pig" right. As it turns out, there really were two shorts where Bugs and the Coyote went against each other, but being shorts that are rarely aired, it's not impossible that Gavin, being the {{Cloudcuckoolander}} that he is, could have been wrong.
* When the [=YouTuber=] LetsPlay/{{Mangaminx}} released her first-ever face reveal video, quite a few comments stated that they were amazed as to how accurate some of the fan-art of her was. Downplayed, however, as some of that fan-art could have been based off of the artistic depictions of Minx drawn by her own wife, [=KrismPro=].
* When discussing ''VideoGame/{{Bombshell}}'' in his "Top 10 Worst Games of 2016", WebVideo/ProJared says that the game was conceived so they could use a pre-existing character. That's actually more-or-less the case -- Bombshell was originally going to appear in ''VideoGame/DukeNukemForever'' as a DistaffCounterpart to the titular character, but said appearance was scrapped. Given that Jared doesn't really talk about First Person Shooters[[note]]he mostly covers {{RPG}}s; the only [=FPS=] he's reviewed is ''VideoGame/AliensColonialMarines''[[/note]], and there's no sign he's played any Duke Nukem games[[note]]he didn't start covering modern games and making "Best Of"[=/=]"Worst Of" lists until 2012; [=DNF=] was released in 2011[[/note]], it's unlikely he knew about this when he was writing his review.
* ''WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows'':
** When he reviewed Nine Days' song "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)," he discovered that the band's lead singer John Hampson later became an English teacher, and jokingly wondered if he teaches the song to his students. Not long after the review was posted, a Twitter user found a video of Hampson doing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnaKRs_KFEY exactly that]].
** In a 2015 video for "See You Again", Todd mentions that Wiz Khalifa is a strange choice for a tribute song, and says maybe someone involved in the ''Film/TheFastAndTheFurious'' series should have sung it instead. The joke sees him showing multiple pictures of Ludacris, a regular in the series, before instead naming Creator/DwayneJohnson, who had no relation to the music industry...yet. But, in 2016, The Rock would star in ''WesternAnimation/{{Moana}}'' and perform "You're Welcome", which [[https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7604383/dwayne-the-rock-johnson-moana-soundtrack-youre-welcome-hot-100 would land him on the Billboard Hot 100.]]
* The ''WebVideo/Mega64'' parody of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidV'' [[BaitAndSwitch actually has nothing to do with it]] and the creators hadn't even finished the game when they made it. And yet, it managed to [[IKnewIt accurately predict the game's big plot twist]] ([[spoiler:there are two Big Bosses, with the one the player's controlling being a fake]]) by sheer dumb luck.
* ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'' is typically [[ShownTheirWork pretty thorough in his research]]. So much so that he's slipped into this occasionally by ''telling jokes'':
** In his initial video on ''VideoGame/DrJekyllAndMrHydeNES'', the Nerd at one point mentions the game ''Tax Man''. In his video on the Tiger Electronics games, we would admit that he was wrong, and that the game he was talking about was actually called, ''Wall Street kid''. However, he did learn there was actually a game called ''Tax Man'', a ''VideoGame/PacMan'' clone for [=PC=]s.
** After playing a slew of bad to mediocre ''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}'' games and noticing how most of them lack Winston as a playable character, he snaps "What's their problem with Winston?! Are they fucking racist or something?!" The reason likely ''did'' have to do with Winston's skin color, but not because of any racism on the part of the developers: older games were rather limited in their choice of color palettes purely by the technology of the time[[note]]For example, the Nintendo Entertainment System effectively had 56 colors to choose from, which could each be tinted to a degree, and could have four sprite and four background palettes active at any time. Each of these palettes was limited to three colors and one transparency, and any one object could only draw from a single palette. This often forced developers to resort to cleverness like ''Franchise/MegaMan'' and ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2'' overlapping multiple sprites, thus reducing the number of available sprites on the screen, just to provide six colors to draw from instead of three, and the ''Franchise/MegaMan'' series having black backgrounds behind massive bosses to use the transparency as an extra color. Each extra palette also took up space on the cartridge, and storage space was ''incredibly'' limited at the time[[/note]]. The developers likely felt it wasn't worth it to devote extra color palettes just for the sake of an extra cosmetically different but otherwise identical character to play as, and just stuck to the three characters who could reasonably share a single color palette. Of course, given [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames the quality]] of these games, Creator/ErnieHudson was probably glad to have been left out of them, as the Nerd noted.
** During his ''Franchise/MegaMan'' review, disparagingly remarks how it was like a "law" that series from the UsefulNotes/{{PlayStation}} era had to have 3D entries. This is ''very'' accurate to how things were back then, as Sony was notoriously anti-2D during the late '90s as they wanted to emphasize the superior 3D capabilities of the [=PlayStation=] compared to the UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn, and were heavily pressuring developers to make the jump to 3D. On the topic of Mega Man, there's a rumor that Capcom really was forced to make the 3D ''VideoGame/MegaManLegends'' before they could make another 2D ''Mega Man'', and even had to threaten to make ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'' a Saturn exclusive before Sony would even allow them to release the 2D ''VideoGame/MegaMan8''.
** While reviewing the NES game of ''Film/HudsonHawk'', the Nerd criticizes the health meter being hidden in the pause menu by likening it to if you had to pull over and turn the engine off to see how much gas in your car. Before the advent of fuel gauges in 1920, this is actually how it worked; cars would have a long stick attached to the underside of the gas tank cap called a dipstick, which you would have to pull out of the car to check how much gas was left.
* When ''WebVideo/GoogleTranslateSings'' did its version of "When Will My Life Begin?" from ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'', one of the lyrics became "I held the pots" (which is close to what actually happens in the film).
* More like "accidentally correct artwork", but it still fits. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPmx3DCLv00 This cover]] of "Be Prepared" features art of a [[RuleSixtyThree female]] [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Scar]] [[AnimalGenderBender with a mane]]. The singer acknowledges that lionesses don't have manes, but she thought Scar's mane was "fabulous" and decided to keep it. What she didn't know was that [[https://blog.nationalgeographic.org/2012/10/09/rare-maned-lionesses-explained/ some lionesses actually do have manes]].
* In the ''WebVideo/RosssGameDungeon'' review of ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange'', Ross gives up playing the game before the end of Episode 1 due to hating all of the characters, but many of his complaints about the game end up being accidental predictions of events in later episodes. A list of these can be found on [[Funny/RosssGameDungeon the show's Funny page]]. A particular one is his belief that the right thing to do would be to let Chloe die, which is mostly because he disliked her [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy annoying gangsta-white-girl attitude]], but also because he thinks that if the rich kid who killed her got arrested for murder, then that would probably improve the lives of most people in town since his family's power and influence would greatly diminish due to their association with a murderer, and bullying at school would grind to a halt since no regular bully could ever hope to be as tough as the guy who straight up pulled a gun and capped a bitch (plus there would be cops crawling all over the school due to the murder investigation). [[spoiler: Turns out he's right. Letting Chloe die ''is'' the decision that benefits the most people, but you only learn this at the very end of the game and with the stakes ''much'' higher than just cleaning up the bullying.]]
* During [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcmFnTI_QvE an episode of Checkpoint]] from 2013, Graham reported on how ''[[VideoGame/PokerNight2 Poker Night at the Inventory 2]]'' was an actual game and not an April Fools' joke. At the end, he proposed a new 5-man roster to consider for ''Poker Night 3'': Snake Pliskin, Lara Croft, Grumpy Cat, Sterling Archer and Mr. Pigglesworth (an [[WebVideo/LoadingReadyRun LRR]] original character). Later on, [[https://twitter.com/TheSeg/status/1121913102495289344 one staff member]] shared via Twitter that two of those characters (Lara and Archer) were ''actually considered'' for use in Poker Night 2.
* The Let's Player LetsPlay/NicoB is quite well known for his [[GenreSavvy Ultimate Bullshit]] powers, which can quite often lead to this occurring, with him often making jokes about plot twists that end up ''actually true''. Some examples include how he joked about [[spoiler: Tengan being the mastermind]] in ''[[Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool Danganronpa 3]]'' before the episode that revealed exactly that had aired, or how Kiryu was going to [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext recruit a chicken as a manager for his real estate business]] in ''VideoGame/Yakuza0''.
* One ''Music/TheAdventuresOfDuaneAndBrandO'' video rapping to ''VideoGame/MegaMan2'' has Mega Man quip to Heat Man, "Capcom didn't spend much time on you!" While it's obviously a joke on Heat Man's rather goofy "zippo lighter with arms and legs" design, it's actually true, albeit not for the reasons you might think. Nearly ''all'' of the later Robot Masters were created via fan-submitted contest entries, with their designs being tweaked appropriately, so Capcom didn't need to spend much time coming up with Heat Man...or any Robot Master in the game, for that matter.
* In Corridor Digital's video Lightsabers FOR MEN, Sam tries to sell the viewer manly lightsabers, such as cammoflage colored or lightsabers made of bacon. Commenters pointed out that one of them, an invisible lightsaber named "The Sealth Saber" already exists in Star Wars lore.
* In the [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG_nvdTLdijiAAuPKxtvBjA Filmento]] video about ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanOnStrangerTides'', he states that he feels the movie is less like a true ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' movie, and more like an entirely separate film that snatched Jack Sparrow into it and then called itself a ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' movie. And that's because... it actually sorta is. The film is actually an adaptation of the Creator/TimPowers novel ''Literature/OnStrangerTides'' (albeit an InNameOnly one), with Jack taking the place of the novel's protagonist, Jack Shandy.
* At one point in the ''WebVideo/RedLetterMedia'' review of ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', Mr. Plinkett, while griping about how the film's understanding of prior imagery was shallow, says that he's surprised Yoda didn't answer Palpatine's Force Lightning by shooting green Force Lightning back at him. He would likely be amused to learn that in ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'', there were indeed cases of Jedi that could use Force Lightning--and [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience yes, it was usually green.]]
* Creator/MF217 basically defended his usage of save states during the Grunty's Furnace Fun segment of ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'' by stating that considering the bear and bird ultimately made it into ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', that there was a high likelihood that an update would be given in some capacity to the Nintendo Switch Online which would add Nintendo 64 games to the library of available games, and that if this actually happened, his entire run of ''Banjo-Kazooie'' seen in his video could easily be replicated on the Nintendo Switch. As of January 20th of 2022, ''Banjo-Kazooie'' is available to play as part of the Nintendo 64 lineup of the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass, and just like every other Nintendo Switch Online game, Expansion Pass or otherwise, there is indeed the option of save states available as [=MF217=] predicted. The reason this is this trope instead of IKnewIt? [=MF217=] outright denied the overall possibility of lightning striking twice in favor of the bear and bird, but honestly expecting the outcome of a Nintendo Switch availability of '''any''' ''Banjo-Kazooie'' game to never be likely to happen any time soon.

According to one account, ''Heartbeeps'' actually ''was'' intended to be a parody, only to end rewritten as a straight romance by the time filming began.
** In his review of ''Crackdown Mission'', during the segments taken from ''Girl With a Gun''[[note]]a [[ForeignRemake Taiwanese version]] of ''Film/Ms45''[[/note]] the Snob points out how graphic scenes are shown in negative, then wonders if it was the film's way of censoring the gore. According to ''WebVideo/DejaView'', that's exactly what it is; due to strict censorship policies at the time, many Taiwanese films would often remove objectionable stills from the reel. By having the offending scenes be in negative, ''Girl with a Gun'' was able to keep the scenes while obscuring the gore.
* ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'':
** When Arin plays ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar'' with Jon, he calls a boomerang-wielding enemy "Boomer Man". The enemy's actual name is "Boomer".
** Arin jokingly suggests a line for Blaze in a cutscene of ''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Sonic '06]]'' seconds before she says it for real.
--->'''Arin:''' She's like "Come back for more, huh?" and he's like "Ah, shut up".\\
'''Jon:''' "Not everything's about sex."\\
'''Arin:''' She's like "Of course it is!" She's all, like, cynical like she's been broken down by the world. And she's like "What else would it be? You're so naive!" and like, walks away.\\
'''Jon:''' And he's just like, "I don't even care anymore. It used to rile me up, and now I realize that, you know..."\\
'''Blaze:''' [[ClicheStorm You're so naive.]]\\
'''Jon:''' [[BigWhat What?!]]
** When playing ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'', Arin, in-character as Yoda making terrible ''Franchise/StarWars'' puns, jokes Yoda's car is a To'''yoda'''. Toyota is owned by the Toyoda family, who changed the spelling to give a more modern look to the company.
** When playing ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' Danny, who has never played the game before and has ''no clue'' what is going to happen, actually manages to do this twice:
*** When Link first meets Mido, Danny is taken aback by how the guy looks, begins mocking him for resembling some kind of monkey puppet, and finishes by asking "Are we even the same race?!" [[spoiler:He ends up being right that they actually are different races, with Mido being Kokiri and Link being Hylian]].
*** Later, he's casually pretending to be Sheik [[HoYay hitting on Link]] and remarks "You look really good. You were six the last time I saw you!" only to be corrected by Arin that Sheik is new and they've only now first met. [[spoiler:Naturally, as Sheik is actually Zelda and Arin was lying to preserve the twist, Danny was right that the last time they met they were only children (albeit he was a little off about the age)]].
** During their playthrough of ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' Arin accidentally falls in the lava which bounces him up and glitches him through the platform, and he [[IMeantToDoThat brushes it off]] as a "deliberate {{Speed Run}}ning tactic" called "The Ass Burn And Grind". Indeed, deliberately bouncing off of lava to reach areas faster actually ''is'' a Speed Running tactic that is used to great effect in world-record runs of the game.
* WebVideo/JonTron:
** In a popular video, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ci2hj7CSHI Waterproofing My Life with FLEX TAPE]]", he makes a joke about Phil Swift having sniffed too much Flex Glue, a product which didn't exist at the time. A few months later, Flex Glue actually came out for real. Jon brings this up in his sequel video, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs2WRpu5syw Flex Seal II: The Flexening]]", jokingly taking credit for coming up with the idea and demanding royalties.
** In his review of ''VideoGame/ClockTower1995'', he attempts to escape in the car to which the protagonist refuses. Then [=JonTron=] edits a part where the protagonist rushes out in the car. However, if one examined the car 3 times, the main character will get in it and run away [[spoiler:though it doesn't go well for her.]]
** In "Dr. Ho: License to Practice", Jon wished ''Franchise/{{Predator}}'' would be in ''Franchise/MortalKombat''. It already happened four years before the video was uploaded with ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX''.
** Episode 3 of ''Starcade'' has two such moments:
*** At the start of the video, Jon's Imperial NES won't let him play a game based on ''Film/ANewHope'', and suggests he instead plays ''Alderaan Was An Inside Job''. In ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'', not only did the Empire tried to cover up the Death Star destroying the planet in question, one of the cover stories was that Alderaan destroyed itself when it tried to make a superweapon.
*** Later on, Jon comments on how the firing rate of blasters seem to get faster, leading to a skit where Jon (dressed as a university professor) predicts "by the far-off year of 2002, the blaster will be firing off [at infinite speed]". One comment noted that ''VideoGame/JediKnightIIJediOutcast'' had a [[GoodBadBugs bug]] where the sniper rifle could fire 999 shots in one second.
* WebVideo/RealTimeFandub:
** When the video of ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' was made, some of the voice actors making said dub had never played the game in question. But even some of the lines they made up on the fly without any familiarity with the source material still managed to fit with the canon storyline, much to their surprise:
*** After Sonic and Shadow's fight on Prison Island in the Hero Story, Alfred (as Eggman) jokingly tells the pair that Prison Island is about to blow up...and the other actors have to point out to him that it really ''is'' about to blow up. Cue Prison Island exploding, to which Alfred responds with repeat shouts of "OH MY GOD, I DIDN'T KNOW!" as the rest of the cast laughs.
*** In the Dark Story, when the Biolizard is unleashed, Eggman says "Shadow could have been a true beast, and now you shall die!". His VA is promptly informed that the Biolizard is, in fact, Gerald Robotnik's original prototype for Shadow, and seems genuinely surprised to find this out.
*** During the game's ending, where Shadow appears to have died, Rouge (voiced by Blue Lennox) calls Shadow "Hedgehog Jesus". Slightly later, while the recording session is being wrapped up, Blue wonders whether that means Shadow will come back to life and is immediately informed that he was indeed brought back in later games.
** In the video of ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'', Mephiles introduces himself by saying he's "part lizard". Given that he later mentions "kinning" Shadow and trying to mimic him 100%, the above-mentioned fact that the Biolizard is a prototype of Shadow makes it likely that Shadow has leftover lizard DNA, therefore making him part lizard.
* ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'':
** During his review of ''Film/TankGirl'', Doug gets repeatedly frustrated with the overuse of comic drawings instead of live action and guesses that the makers simply forgot to shoot several scenes and had to improvise. As it turns out, he was partially correct -- in an interview, co-creator Jamie Hewlett said that he and Alan Martin had to animate several scenes because the producers forgot to film them.
** During his Disneycember review of ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfIchabodAndMrToad'' he muses over how protagonist and hero Ichabod Crane is a [[DesignatedHero malicious jerk]] and how Brom Bones, treated as TheBully and antagonist, [[VillainyFreeVillain doesn't do anything particularly villainous]] aside from antagonize the jerk Ichabod and could very well be a nice guy. He even points out how Brom seems to treat Katrina quite well and remarks how in any other story Brom would be the hero. This is ''absolutely'' the case in [[Literature/TheLegendOfSleepyHollow the original tale]], where Ichabod is an obnoxious VillainProtagonist Yankee who invades a Dutch-American community, becomes an AbhorrentAdmirer and GoldDigger to the local beauty Katrina Van Tassel, and is mercifully driven out of town by the clever ruse of the local good-ole-boy Brom.
** Near the end of his review of ''Film/JurassicPark'', he jokes that John Hammond should have cloned wooly mammoths. In [[Literature/JurassicPark the original novel]], Hammond did just that to demonstrate the potential of cloning long-extinct species.
** He accuses ''Film/TheMatrixReloaded'' of going into "video game land" (albeit because of the now dated CGI) during the big Smith fight and jokes that they should just assemble into the shape of a big giant monster when he sees them all pile on Neo. That's ''exactly'' what ends up happening in one of the [[VideoGame/TheMatrixPathOfNeo video game adaptations]]: Neo faces a big giant Smith monster known as "Mega-Smith" as the FinalBoss.
** In the review of the ''Film/StreetFighter'' film, he remarks about the inclusion of the huge cast and compares it to "A Street Fighter Christmas." Not only was the film ChristmasRushed to tie into merchandise by Creator/{{Hasbro}} , but ExecutiveMeddling did indeed [[https://www.theguardian.com/games/2018/jul/16/inside-street-fighter-movie-jean-claude-van-damme-kylie-minogue mandate the inclusion of said characters]] as by the request of Creator/{{Capcom}}.
** In his review of ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'' he concludes his review by saying that the whole movie is like a [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadrunner Road Runner cartoon]]. Around 6 years later when ''Film/SpaceJamANewLegacy'' premiered, a gag in the film has Wile E Coyote chasing the Road Runner in a scene from Mad Max. This was mentioned in his review of Space Jam: A New Legacy humorously thinking that they stole his idea and was threatening to sue with Hyper Fan Girl as his attorney.
* A number of things the players of the ''LetsPlay/Persona4EnduranceRun'' do end up accurately predicting some things. For example, their overuse of God Hand when using Chie accidentally predicts said move being one of her {{Signature Move}}s in ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena'' (being one of her Super Moves).
* In ''WebVideo/InternetPersonalityVangelus''[='=] review of a Anime/{{Dancougar}} action figure, he admits that he doesn't know much about the show, but he hopes its CoolSword has an appropriately awesome name, like "Dankuuken". That is in fact the sword's name, and Vangelus' Subtitles (which are pretty shocked themselves) promise that he didn't look the name up before filming.
* When ''WebVideo/TwoBestFriendsPlay'' played an untranslated game in Portuguese called ''Insanidade'', seeing the word "jogo" (game) written in-game several times inspired a long-staying RunningGag of calling things "a mysterious jogo". They all pronounce the word "''joe''-go", which is mostly correct, but state in a much later video that they were ''trying'' to mispronounce it as a joke.
* In an ''Creator/AchievementHunter'' Let's Play video on ''Series/FamilyFeud'', one question asked for characters WesternAnimation/BugsBunny faced off against. Creator/GavinFree claims that Bugs went up against Wile E. Coyote, but the others dismiss it and get the odd answer of "Porky Pig" right. As it turns out, there really were two shorts where Bugs and the Coyote went against each other, but being shorts that are rarely aired, it's not impossible that Gavin, being the {{Cloudcuckoolander}} that he is, could have been wrong.
* When the [=YouTuber=] LetsPlay/{{Mangaminx}} released her first-ever face reveal video, quite a few comments stated that they were amazed as to how accurate some of the fan-art of her was. Downplayed, however, as some of that fan-art could have been based off of the artistic depictions of Minx drawn by her own wife, [=KrismPro=].
* When discussing ''VideoGame/{{Bombshell}}'' in his "Top 10 Worst Games of 2016", WebVideo/ProJared says that the game was conceived so they could use a pre-existing character. That's actually more-or-less the case -- Bombshell was originally going to appear in ''VideoGame/DukeNukemForever'' as a DistaffCounterpart to the titular character, but said appearance was scrapped. Given that Jared doesn't really talk about First Person Shooters[[note]]he mostly covers {{RPG}}s; the only [=FPS=] he's reviewed is ''VideoGame/AliensColonialMarines''[[/note]], and there's no sign he's played any Duke Nukem games[[note]]he didn't start covering modern games and making "Best Of"[=/=]"Worst Of" lists until 2012; [=DNF=] was released in 2011[[/note]], it's unlikely he knew about this when he was writing his review.
* ''WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows'':
** When he reviewed Nine Days' song "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)," he discovered that the band's lead singer John Hampson later became an English teacher, and jokingly wondered if he teaches the song to his students. Not long after the review was posted, a Twitter user found a video of Hampson doing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnaKRs_KFEY exactly that]].
** In a 2015 video for "See You Again", Todd mentions that Wiz Khalifa is a strange choice for a tribute song, and says maybe someone involved in the ''Film/TheFastAndTheFurious'' series should have sung it instead. The joke sees him showing multiple pictures of Ludacris, a regular in the series, before instead naming Creator/DwayneJohnson, who had no relation to the music industry...yet. But, in 2016, The Rock would star in ''WesternAnimation/{{Moana}}'' and perform "You're Welcome", which [[https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7604383/dwayne-the-rock-johnson-moana-soundtrack-youre-welcome-hot-100 would land him on the Billboard Hot 100.]]
* The ''WebVideo/Mega64'' parody of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidV'' [[BaitAndSwitch actually has nothing to do with it]] and the creators hadn't even finished the game when they made it. And yet, it managed to [[IKnewIt accurately predict the game's big plot twist]] ([[spoiler:there are two Big Bosses, with the one the player's controlling being a fake]]) by sheer dumb luck.
* ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'' is typically [[ShownTheirWork pretty thorough in his research]]. So much so that he's slipped into this occasionally by ''telling jokes'':
** In his initial video on ''VideoGame/DrJekyllAndMrHydeNES'', the Nerd at one point mentions the game ''Tax Man''. In his video on the Tiger Electronics games, we would admit that he was wrong, and that the game he was talking about was actually called, ''Wall Street kid''. However, he did learn there was actually a game called ''Tax Man'', a ''VideoGame/PacMan'' clone for [=PC=]s.
** After playing a slew of bad to mediocre ''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}'' games and noticing how most of them lack Winston as a playable character, he snaps "What's their problem with Winston?! Are they fucking racist or something?!" The reason likely ''did'' have to do with Winston's skin color, but not because of any racism on the part of the developers: older games were rather limited in their choice of color palettes purely by the technology of the time[[note]]For example, the Nintendo Entertainment System effectively had 56 colors to choose from, which could each be tinted to a degree, and could have four sprite and four background palettes active at any time. Each of these palettes was limited to three colors and one transparency, and any one object could only draw from a single palette. This often forced developers to resort to cleverness like ''Franchise/MegaMan'' and ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2'' overlapping multiple sprites, thus reducing the number of available sprites on the screen, just to provide six colors to draw from instead of three, and the ''Franchise/MegaMan'' series having black backgrounds behind massive bosses to use the transparency as an extra color. Each extra palette also took up space on the cartridge, and storage space was ''incredibly'' limited at the time[[/note]]. The developers likely felt it wasn't worth it to devote extra color palettes just for the sake of an extra cosmetically different but otherwise identical character to play as, and just stuck to the three characters who could reasonably share a single color palette. Of course, given [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames the quality]] of these games, Creator/ErnieHudson was probably glad to have been left out of them, as the Nerd noted.
** During his ''Franchise/MegaMan'' review, disparagingly remarks how it was like a "law" that series from the UsefulNotes/{{PlayStation}} era had to have 3D entries. This is ''very'' accurate to how things were back then, as Sony was notoriously anti-2D during the late '90s as they wanted to emphasize the superior 3D capabilities of the [=PlayStation=] compared to the UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn, and were heavily pressuring developers to make the jump to 3D. On the topic of Mega Man, there's a rumor that Capcom really was forced to make the 3D ''VideoGame/MegaManLegends'' before they could make another 2D ''Mega Man'', and even had to threaten to make ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'' a Saturn exclusive before Sony would even allow them to release the 2D ''VideoGame/MegaMan8''.
** While reviewing the NES game of ''Film/HudsonHawk'', the Nerd criticizes the health meter being hidden in the pause menu by likening it to if you had to pull over and turn the engine off to see how much gas in your car. Before the advent of fuel gauges in 1920, this is actually how it worked; cars would have a long stick attached to the underside of the gas tank cap called a dipstick, which you would have to pull out of the car to check how much gas was left.
* When ''WebVideo/GoogleTranslateSings'' did its version of "When Will My Life Begin?" from ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'', one of the lyrics became "I held the pots" (which is close to what actually happens in the film).
* More like "accidentally correct artwork", but it still fits. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPmx3DCLv00 This cover]] of "Be Prepared" features art of a [[RuleSixtyThree female]] [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Scar]] [[AnimalGenderBender with a mane]]. The singer acknowledges that lionesses don't have manes, but she thought Scar's mane was "fabulous" and decided to keep it. What she didn't know was that [[https://blog.nationalgeographic.org/2012/10/09/rare-maned-lionesses-explained/ some lionesses actually do have manes]].
* In the ''WebVideo/RosssGameDungeon'' review of ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange'', Ross gives up playing the game before the end of Episode 1 due to hating all of the characters, but many of his complaints about the game end up being accidental predictions of events in later episodes. A list of these can be found on [[Funny/RosssGameDungeon the show's Funny page]]. A particular one is his belief that the right thing to do would be to let Chloe die, which is mostly because he disliked her [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy annoying gangsta-white-girl attitude]], but also because he thinks that if the rich kid who killed her got arrested for murder, then that would probably improve the lives of most people in town since his family's power and influence would greatly diminish due to their association with a murderer, and bullying at school would grind to a halt since no regular bully could ever hope to be as tough as the guy who straight up pulled a gun and capped a bitch (plus there would be cops crawling all over the school due to the murder investigation). [[spoiler: Turns out he's right. Letting Chloe die ''is'' the decision that benefits the most people, but you only learn this at the very end of the game and with the stakes ''much'' higher than just cleaning up the bullying.]]
* During [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcmFnTI_QvE an episode of Checkpoint]] from 2013, Graham reported on how ''[[VideoGame/PokerNight2 Poker Night at the Inventory 2]]'' was an actual game and not an April Fools' joke. At the end, he proposed a new 5-man roster to consider for ''Poker Night 3'': Snake Pliskin, Lara Croft, Grumpy Cat, Sterling Archer and Mr. Pigglesworth (an [[WebVideo/LoadingReadyRun LRR]] original character). Later on, [[https://twitter.com/TheSeg/status/1121913102495289344 one staff member]] shared via Twitter that two of those characters (Lara and Archer) were ''actually considered'' for use in Poker Night 2.
* The Let's Player LetsPlay/NicoB is quite well known for his [[GenreSavvy Ultimate Bullshit]] powers, which can quite often lead to this occurring, with him often making jokes about plot twists that end up ''actually true''. Some examples include how he joked about [[spoiler: Tengan being the mastermind]] in ''[[Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool Danganronpa 3]]'' before the episode that revealed exactly that had aired, or how Kiryu was going to [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext recruit a chicken as a manager for his real estate business]] in ''VideoGame/Yakuza0''.
* One ''Music/TheAdventuresOfDuaneAndBrandO'' video rapping to ''VideoGame/MegaMan2'' has Mega Man quip to Heat Man, "Capcom didn't spend much time on you!" While it's obviously a joke on Heat Man's rather goofy "zippo lighter with arms and legs" design, it's actually true, albeit not for the reasons you might think. Nearly ''all'' of the later Robot Masters were created via fan-submitted contest entries, with their designs being tweaked appropriately, so Capcom didn't need to spend much time coming up with Heat Man...or any Robot Master in the game, for that matter.
* In Corridor Digital's video Lightsabers FOR MEN, Sam tries to sell the viewer manly lightsabers, such as cammoflage colored or lightsabers made of bacon. Commenters pointed out that one of them, an invisible lightsaber named "The Sealth Saber" already exists in Star Wars lore.
* In the [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG_nvdTLdijiAAuPKxtvBjA Filmento]] video about ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanOnStrangerTides'', he states that he feels the movie is less like a true ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' movie, and more like an entirely separate film that snatched Jack Sparrow into it and then called itself a ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' movie. And that's because... it actually sorta is. The film is actually an adaptation of the Creator/TimPowers novel ''Literature/OnStrangerTides'' (albeit an InNameOnly one), with Jack taking the place of the novel's protagonist, Jack Shandy.
* At one point in the ''WebVideo/RedLetterMedia'' review of ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', Mr. Plinkett, while griping about how the film's understanding of prior imagery was shallow, says that he's surprised Yoda didn't answer Palpatine's Force Lightning by shooting green Force Lightning back at him. He would likely be amused to learn that in ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'', there were indeed cases of Jedi that could use Force Lightning--and [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience yes, it was usually green.]]
* Creator/MF217 basically defended his usage of save states during the Grunty's Furnace Fun segment of ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'' by stating that considering the bear and bird ultimately made it into ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', that there was a high likelihood that an update would be given in some capacity to the Nintendo Switch Online which would add Nintendo 64 games to the library of available games, and that if this actually happened, his entire run of ''Banjo-Kazooie'' seen in his video could easily be replicated on the Nintendo Switch. As of January 20th of 2022, ''Banjo-Kazooie'' is available to play as part of the Nintendo 64 lineup of the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass, and just like every other Nintendo Switch Online game, Expansion Pass or otherwise, there is indeed the option of save states available as [=MF217=] predicted. The reason this is this trope instead of IKnewIt? [=MF217=] outright denied the overall possibility of lightning striking twice in favor of the bear and bird, but honestly expecting the outcome of a Nintendo Switch availability of '''any''' ''Banjo-Kazooie'' game to never be likely to happen any time soon.
