* ''WebAnimation/OverlySarcasticProductions'' discusses this trope in more detail in "Noodle Incident" episode. Red states that Noodle Incident is more of a characterization trope than a plot device. She also states that authors sometimes make a mistake of explaining the incident when it is best left vague.

*WebAnimation/WolfSongTheMovie: turns out that despite being his nephew, some past incident known only as "the mistake" has caused Zar and his squad to drift away from the Death Alpha, making their collective HeelFaceTurn that easier to achieve. Said mistake isn't elaborated on, although it is implied that the earlier brainwashing of Cobalt by the two as revealed in his own flashback could have been it, however, it is uncertain if that or something else we don't know about was the specific mistake mentioned

Added examples from Helluva Boss.

Added DiffLines:

* ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'' has several of these:
** In ”Murder Family”, [[FreezeFrameBonus Blitzo’s desk is shown to have several ”panic buttons” attached to it.]] One of them reads ”Deranged Client”, which he uses as his client turns out to have a HairTriggerTemper… but the other buttons read ”Client Giving Birth”, [[BringMyBrownPants ”Soiled My Pants”]], [[MustHaveCaffeine ”More Coffee”]], ”Ghost” and [[AbhorrentAdmirer ”Stolas”.]] And with [[CloudCuckooLander Blitzo]] being Blitzo, he wouldn’t have installed these buttons unless he felt like he needed them.
** In ”The Harvest Moon Festival”, we find out that [[AxCrazy Millie]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards is banned from ever participating in the Wrath Ring’s annual Pain Games tournament again]] after she got ”carried away” one year, which somehow resulted in 15 people dying. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint (She vehemently insists that she was ”only” responsible for]] ''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint 9]]'' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint of those deaths)]]
** ”Truth Seekers” has Blitzo explaining to Moxxie after the two are tranquilized and captured by D.H.O.R.K.S [[ImmuneToDrugs that he’s developed a higher resistance to knockout drugs]] due to his experiences at college, one of which ended up with him getting a car battery clamped to his nipples for some reason.
** ”Exes And Oohs” has two:
*** One is an unintentional example due to ExecutiveMeddling: The episode reveals that [[ContrivedCoincidence Moxxie and Millie have the same ex-boyfriend,]] a shark demon named [[DepravedBisexual Chaz]], and while it’s shown how Moxxie and Chaz met, what their relationship was like and how it ended, it’s not shown how Chaz’s time with Millie was, how they met and why Millie now hates his guts. According to [[invoked]]WordOfGod, [[invoked]][[WhatCouldHaveBeen there]] ''[[invoked]][[WhatCouldHaveBeen was]]'' [[invoked]][[WhatCouldHaveBeen originally going to be a flashback to Millie dating Chaz, but it had to be cut for pacing reasons.]]
*** It’s also revealed that Blitzo and Moxxie [[YouAllMeetInACell met in prison.]] While the episode shows how Moxxie ended up in jail[[note]]He and Chaz had just robbed a bank (Most likely on Moxxie’s [[TheDon father]] [[AbusiveParents Crimson’s]] orders), but when the two tried to flee, [[HelpImStuck the security doors slammed down on Moxxie’s right leg and tail, trapping him]] and leaving him to get arrested alone [[EtTuBrute after Chaz abandoned him.]][[/note]], what Blitzo did to get arrested is never explained.

** A year prior to the events of "Journey to Spooky Island", ''something'' happened to a kid named Chuckie. David says that he survived whatever it was that happened. Physically, anyway.
** Just before "Cookin' Cookies" ends, Max, Neil and Nikki [[OutOfFocus make their first appearance all episode]] by way of landing in a biplane with Neil dressed like Doctor Livingstone, Nikki piloting the plane and Max in a samurai helmet and sword, angrily telling Nikki he said to pull ''up''.

** In episode 7, Keedran casually reveals that she and Drake fought, but Drake says that is a tale for another time.



** In the first episode of season two, we meet Dragonface, who is a big fan of X-Ray and Vav... and who has a restraining order put on him by the two after he did ''something'' to creep them out.
* ''WebAnimation/TheMostPopularGirlsInSchool'': In Episode 50, [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents Veronica]] mentions that her daughter Brittnay [[EmbarrassingDampSheets was still wetting the bed at the age of three]], and she promptly gets cut off by a blushing Brittnay.
* ''WebAnimation/ObjectTerror'' gives us one in "Kiloto the Minoto." In that episode, Computer tells the contestants that he used to work at a chemistry lab, but he got fired after he drank an unfinished potion. It's unknown what exactly the potion was or what it did that made him lose his job.
* In ''WebAnimation/TheTrashPack'' webisode "Snot My Problem", Trash-A-Pillar calls out for Blow Fly to check out Scummy Screen, but apparently this just brings back bad memories for Blow Fly:
-->'''Trash-A-Pillar:''' ''(Offscreen.)'' Blow Fly! Hey, come see!
-->'''Blow Fly:''' Listen, if you’re [[ManInABikini wearing a bikini again]], ''(shifts eyes)'' I don’t wanna see it. ''(Shudders.)''
* In ''WebAnimation/ThrillingIntent'', Gregor apparently once fought a tornado. Why, and whether or not he won, is never made clear.
* ''WebVideo/FriendshipIsWitchcraft'' takes place 10 years after a war, the events of which caused Rarity and Applejack's animosity.
-->'''Rarity:''' I'm sure that's what you said when you were driving that tank into ''a schoolhouse''!
* ''WebAnimation/SaladFingers'':
** "Shore Leave":How "Kenneth" died or if Salad had something to do with it.
** "Cupboard": How Roger (the radio) got broken.
** "Present": Going by the bits of a scene that Salad reenacts (which ends with the puppet getting eaten), there was ''something'' that happened with Jeremy and an unnamed daughter and, whatever it was, things didn't end well on the Jeremy's end.
* WebAnimation/SquimpusMcGrimpus is a Youtube channel dedicated to Fnaf found-footage content. According to Springbonnie in "Nonexistent Video", he once got stuck in a washing machine, and Fredbear had to cut a hole in it to get him out.
* ''WebAnimation/CampCamp'':
** The first episode ends with this conversation following [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Max and his friends' attempt to drive a bus]]:
--->'''Sal:''' I'm getting real tired of having to come up here, David.\\
'''David:''' ''(solemnly)'' I know, Sal.
** How exactly the Quartermaster lost his hand. Apparently it had something to do with 'the Jews' (or at the very least he blames them for it), but we don't hear anything else.
** A year prior to the events of "Journey to Spooky Island", ''something'' happened to a kid named Chuckie. David says that he survived whatever it was that happened. Physically, anyway.
** Just before "Cookin' Cookies" ends, Max, Neil and Nikki [[OutOfFocus make their first appearance all episode]] by way of landing in a biplane with Neil dressed like Doctor Livingstone, Nikki piloting the plane and Max in a samurai helmet and sword, angrily telling Nikki he said to pull ''up''.
* WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}}'s ''WebAnimation/TheBlueShellIncident'' has Mario regaling Luigi with a story that ends with a Warp Pipe being in Bowser's butt all along.
* During an episode of ''WebAnimation/RWBYChibi'', Ruby and Yang get in trouble and Ozpin calls Taiyang and Qrow to speak with them about it. Taiyang is furious at the girls, though Ozpin assures him ''the fire is under control and the cats are expected to regrow most of their fur''.
** Somehow, Qrow managed to date someone worse than Cinder. This has lead to some fans speculating he went out with ''[[HumanoidAbomination Salem]]''.
* ''WebAnimation/LlamasWithHats'' absolutely '''''thrives''''' off this trope. Every episode starts with Carl having done something absolutely insane and callous off-screen, and denying having done such a thing when somebody, mostly Paul calls him out on it, or by the time of the revival series, having to acclimate to the damage he's caused in order to complete his "work".
* A few of these have happened in ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'' and it's spin-off ''Death Race'', courtesy of [[TheAlcoholic Boomstick]], to sum up a few he has implied that he did a DealWithTheDevil a few times, although what the deal was was never stated, he's wanted in all 50 states for murderous actions with vehicles and people, drank things much worse than ''a bunch of glowsticks'' without revealing what they were, somehow owns 3% of the world's whiskey supply[[note]] Which one fan calculated to be around 9,500,000 cases of whiskey[[/note]], and drank a bunch of speed force sodas[[note]] cans of soda laced with cosmic kinetic energy by Wiz[[/note]] which the end result caused Boomstick to be legally classified as a natural disaster and the government to have Wiz legally responsible for all of Boomstick's future actions.
