* The backwards episode of ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' entitled "The Betrayal". The episode's title is a ShoutOut to the play ''Theatre/{{Betrayal}}'', as is the fact that one of the characters mentioned in the episode is named Pinter. [[LogoJoke This even extended to]] [[https://youtu.be/tk3RWMgGxe8 the closing logos]] (or opening logos in this case).

The episode ends on two flashbacks, one on how the whole mess began (with an appearance by George's very much alive ex-fiancée Susan Ross), and one on how Jerry met Kramer, with a MythologyGag of Jerry accidentally calling him "Kessler", which was his name in the pilot, and Jerry uttering the unfortunate phrase "What's mine is yours."

* ''Comicbook/{{Midnighter}}'' #7 tells the story backwards. Apparently it makes sense and is still good whether you read it front-to-back or back-to-front.

Added DiffLines:

* The campaigns of ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'' were first shown during pre-release previews in the reverse order in which they take place chronologically, with the exception of "Hard Rain". "The Parish" was the first campaign to showcase the game, demonstrating that it would primarily take place in the southern states of the USA (specifically New Orleans), and is where the game ends chronologically. "Swamp Fever" and "Dark Carnival" would be revealed next, both of them taking place before "The Parish", and "Dead Center" and "Hard Rain" would be shown just before the game's release (Dead Center is the first campaign while Hard Rain takes place between Swamp Fever and The Parish). The post-release campaign "The Passing" takes place between Dead Center and Dark Carnival.
