History HilariousInHindsight / WebComics

* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': Haley can't remember whether Sabine, a succubus, is a demon or a devil. This was before 4th edition.

** "[[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Edgeworth]] [[http://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic1-121707.php is such a closet Steel Samurai Fan]]". A full two years later, ''VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigations'' comes out and that turns out to be ''precisely'' the case.

* Toward the end of the first crossover guest comics between {{Campaign Comic}}s ''[[GrandLine3point5 Grand Line 3.5]]'' and ''{{Friendship is Dragons}}'', Rainbow Dash's player asks where she can find the Griffin race. Luke shows her the book, but the GM shoots that idea down. This is doubly funny given the end of the [[MyLittlePonyFriendshipisMagic FiM]] episode from two years later, "It Ain't Easy Being Breezies", Rainbow Dash tells Twilight she "always kinda wondered what it would be like to be a griffin." Twilight tells her, "Not a chance," but Rainbow Dash won't give up so easily and asks about being turned into a dragon instead ("It doesn't have to shoot fire!").

* ''CassToons'' as a whole is that much more hilarious now that a DC character has actually attempted to kill DanDidio.

* ''Webcomic/OzyAndMillie'': [[http://ozyandmillie.org/2002/11/05/ozy-and-millie-1023/ the punchline to this strip]]. Now reflect on [[AeonFlux who else]] has [[Film/TheDarkKnight said that.]] Let the WildMassGuessing begin!

* When the characters from ''Webcomic/RealLifeComics'' go to the future, [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/011002.html Greg Dean from 2001 asks Greg Dean from 2006 what the most important thing to happen in the following five years]]. Funny in 2001 because his response, that he'll hit his shin on an open drawer, [[WorstNewsJudgmentEver is ridiculous]]. Gets funnier [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/030708.html in 2003]], when he ''does'' hit his shin on the drawer. Becomes hilarious [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/050320.html in 2005]] when he gets ''married''...
** An additional instance of this happens [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/090812.html far more recently]], when Walt Disney is described as FanFic writer. The date of that comic: August 12, 2009. Less than a month later, [[{{Disney}} guess who's announced their plans to purchase]] [[MarvelUniverse half of the comic book industry...]]

** Greg Dean also [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/030815.html was listening to]] ''Literature/TheHobbit'' on CD in 2003 because "[t]he way I figure it, having it read to me by an old British man is about the closest to [[Film/TheHobbit a Pete Jackson movie]] we're ever going to see of it."

* [[http://xkcd.com/132/ This]] ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'' is pretty funny ever since the release of ''GuitarHero: Metallica''.

* ''Metroid: Third Derivative'' had a number of sequences involving hordes of Zoomers walking around with a constant shout of "HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT". Since then, a ''{{Metroid}}'' game has been codeveloped by {{Tecmo}}, the company responsible for ''Tecmo Bowl''.
** An earlier comic featuring Samus playing ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'' was made before her appearance in ''Tetris DS'' was announced.

* When the characters from ''RealLifeComics'' go to the future, [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/011002.html Greg Dean from 2001 asks Greg Dean from 2006 what the most important thing to happen in the following five years]]. Funny in 2001 because his response, that he'll hit his shin on an open drawer, [[WorstNewsJudgmentEver is ridiculous]]. Gets funnier [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/030708.html in 2003]], when he ''does'' hit his shin on the drawer. Becomes hilarious [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/050320.html in 2005]] when he gets ''married''...

* ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'' mentioned that he had a dream of seeing his creator with long hair in the mirror in one issue. Needless to say, this ended up coming true. [[http://sonichu.com/cwcki/Tomgirl_Saga]]

** [[http://axecop.com/index.php/acask/read/ask_axe_cop_46/ This "Ask Axe Cop" strip mentions Red Bull and jumping (into) space in the space of a few panels.

* ''DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog'': "The hammer is my penis." It just didn't turn out so well [[http://spamusement.com/index.php/comics/view/90 the first time.]]

** Equius... [[spoiler: [[TheElderScrollsVSkyrim took an arrow to the knee]]]].
** Speaking of ''TheElderScrolls'', the troll alphabet is the Daedric one, only with the letters flipped upside down. Andrew has admitted that he just picked it at random from a website documenting fictional alphabets. It turned out to be a lucky guess - the Daedric alphabet is, in the games, used by the Dremora, a grey-skinned, horned, shaggy-haired ProudWarriorRace with a FantasticCasteSystem who hail from AnotherDimension. In other words...trolls.

* In [[http://derpiboo.ru/17181 this]] WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic fancomic, Twilight is asked what the strangest spell she ever read of was.
-->'''Twilight''': Summon Parasprite. Seriously, [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E5MagicDuel why would anypony want to summon those things]]?

* In [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/sweetbroandhellajeff/?cid=003.jpg this]] ''SweetBroAndHellaJeff'' update, a [[RougeAnglesOfSatin typo]] renders "hot dog" as "hot god". This takes on a new meaning in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', when [[spoiler: Jade reaches God Tier, fusing with Jadesprite and gaining dog ears in the process, [[FanNickname to which fans have called]] "Dog Tier".]]

* ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic'' mentions a crystal skull in an early "Cliffhangers" (an IndianaJones spoof) strip.

* ''IrregularWebcomic'' mentions a crystal skull in an early "Cliffhangers" (an IndianaJones spoof) strip.

* In the first ''WebAnimation/DeclineOfVideoGaming'' (a flash series that theorized what video games be like in the future), one game "featured" was ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid 5'', where Solid Snake was an old wheel chair bound man. In real life ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4'' features an old (but not wheel chair bound) Snake.

* ''ThreePanelSoul'' gives us [[http://threepanelsoul.com/2008/09/22/on-sober-analysis/ Bernanke's description of the state of the economy]] circa ''September 2008'' ([[http://threepanelsoul.com/view.php?date=2008-09-22 inspired by a New York Times article]]).

* In a 1998 ''UserFriendly'' cartoon where Irwin ended up in the computer system of the space station Mir, he said at one point "I can barely believe this thing stays up." Two years later, the station was decommissioned, deorbited and burned up in the atmosphere. Now, if anybody had been onboard at the time, this would be a FunnyAneurysmMoment, but as nobody was...

* [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/990526 This]] ''SluggyFreelance'' comic is parodying ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', but it only gets funnier when you take ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' into account.

* ''{{Sonichu}}'' mentioned that he had a dream of seeing his creator with long hair in the mirror in one issue. Needless to say, this ended up coming true. [[http://sonichu.com/cwcki/Tomgirl_Saga]]

* ''PennyArcade'': compare [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2002/06/21 this strip]] and [[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/6295138.stm this actual news article.]]

* In the first ''Decline [of video gaming]'' (a flash series that theorized what video games be like in the future), one game "featured" was ''MetalGearSolid 5'', where Solid Snake was an old wheel chair bound man. In real life ''MetalGearSolid4'' features an old (but not wheel chair bound) Snake.

* ''DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'' features an arc involving the ''{{Pokemon}}'' craze. No biggie, but the arc ends with [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_017.php the death of the fad.]] Figures it would be the one late-'90s fad to NOT die within a year.

* An ''AwkwardZombie'' animated short features the crew of the ''MythBusters'' attempting to build a cannon out of duct tape in order to fire a pig. While the "cannon made out of duct tape" sounds like a {{Flanderized}} "silly Mythbusters build," the Mythbusters did a "duct tape" special much later. And guess what they ''actually'' built?

** "[[AceAttorney Edgeworth]] [[http://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic1-121707.php is such a closet Steel Samurai Fan]]". A full two years later, ''AceAttorneyInvestigations'' comes out and that turns out to be ''precisely'' the case.

* ''Webcomic/OzyAndMillie'': [[http://ozyandmillie.org/2002/11/05/ozy-and-millie-1023/ the punchline to this strip]]. Now reflect on [[AeonFlux who else]] has [[DarkKnightTrilogy said that.]] Let the WildMassGuessing begin!
