Mantis or Naomi are usually the OnlySaneMan in this regard, but of course all these biologically impossible events keep on happening anyway.

* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' is utterly rife with visual and verbal {{callback}}s. Late in Act 5, Doc Scratch calls attention to the fact that these keep happening, and names the phenomenon "circumstantial simultaneity" (as opposed to mere temporal simultaneity). Then, in Act 6, [[spoiler:Dirk Strider]] lampshades it again:
-->'''TT:''' I feel like you've said something like that before.\\
'''TT:''' Different statements, but in that exact syntax. \\
''[...]''\\
'''TT:''' That actually sounds familiar too.\\

Added DiffLines:

* ''{{Spacetrawler}}'': The narrative regularly juggles three or four subplots, often timing the transitions between subplots just in time for gratuitous cliffhangers. There's also a FramingDevice that Nogg is telling the entire story to Mr. Zorilla--and Mr. Zorilla eventually gets just as ticked about these shifts as the readers do. [[http://spacetrawler.com/2011/11/13/spacetrawler-185/ On this page]], just as a major mystery about spacetrawler construction is about to be cleared up...
