* Jim Sterling in his ''WebVideo/{{Jimquisition}}'' article [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/jimquisition/4966-Hate-Out-Of-Ten "Hate Out Of Ten"]]. After a rant on gamers whining about how [[EightPointEight a rating of 8 out of 10 for a highly anticipated game is not a good enough score]], he nervously asks "At least we're not criticizing 9's, at least now. Right? Yeah?" Cue a blog criticizing Games Radar for giving ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'' a 9.

* It seems that when anyone tries to review the godawful ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'' film, it is almost a requirement to suggest that it won't be as bad as it's made out to be ( like Podcast/RiffTrax and WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic, with the latter providing a [[Quotes/TemptingFate quote]]). In the case of the Critic, not less than 15 seconds after saying so, he tries (and fails) to pop a cyanide pill.

* [=MatPat=], of ''WebVideo/GameTheory'', released a 3-part video explaining the full story behind the ''Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' lore, using the information from all 3 of the titles that had been released by that point. The [=DAY=] after the first part went up, ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys4'' was announced. [[BigNo His reaction]] [[RapidFireNo to this information]] [[RealLifeWritesThePlot marked the tail-end of the third part]]

* {{LetsPlay/Chuggaaconroy}} is over this trope. This biggest one was in [[ThatOneLevel The Submerged Castle]] where he was carring a donut as treasure back with his Pikmin in ''VideoGame/Pikmin2''. He said he didn't think he triggered the [[DemonicSpider Water Wraith...]] [[CrowningMomentOfFunny just as it falls down onto the floor in front of the ship.]]

** During the E3 presentation of ''Kitchen'', he joked that if Capcom wanted to make horror games like it, they should just rename them Resident Evil, even doing a mock announcer voice saying "Resident Evil 7". Said E3 presentation ended with the reveal that ''Kitchen'' was merely the working title for ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''.

* Maximillian, of ''LetsPlay/TheOnlineWarrior'', in the wake of the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake'' announcement, joked that it and Half-life 3 were two of the most requested games never made". He later amended this to include ''[[{{VideoGame/Shenmue}} Shenmue 3]]''... ''right before Shenmue 3 was announced''.

* A RunningGag on ''WebVideo/TVTrash'' is for host Rowdy C. to set up a situation by saying that there's no way they could do [insert something truly despicable here], then cut instantly to just that. He's even lampshaded his tendency to tempt fate many times.

* This is apparently starting to become Ray's schtick in RoosterTeeth's LetsPlay series with the phrase "Is there fall damage?". This stems from an LP of "Trouble in Terror Town" where he leaps off a roof and asks, mid jump, that phrase. [[spoiler:There is and he dies, leading the terrorists to win that round.]]

** Also in his ''PokemonColosseum'' Let's Play, he confuses Dakim's Camerupt and says that now that it's confused, let's hope it does something stupid. Camerupt then used Earthquake, taking out Dakim's Shadow Entei.

* In the ''WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}}'' video [[http://blip.tv/retsupurae/the-most-shameful-thing-in-the-world-5020223 The Most Shameful Thing In The World]], slowbeef comments that the video, which is of an anime fan coming up with attacks for a ''{{MUGEN}}'' sprite, just couldn't get any worse. Cue [[LigthNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Hare Hare Yukai]] dance.

* ''[[AwesomeSeries Metal Gear Awesome]]'': After being incinerated by lasers and blown up by mines, Snake mentions: "Oh gee whiz, I sure hope a tank doesn't totally come out of nowhere and OWN me!" Cue the tank totally coming out of nowhere and owning him.
