*** Having Creator/NeilPatrickHarris's BerserkButton being called "sissy" (Note: "sissy" used to be a slur against gays, though it's certainly not a kind thing to say to anyone anyway, even if it's an outdated slur) is an HIH since he came out 4 years later.

* SpiritualAdaptation: With the title character using a lot of odd gadgets (and a gadget-equipped CoolCar to boot), a DaChief figure and the BigBad being a mysterious shadowy figure who employs over the top henchmen, ''Undercover Brother'' can be almost viewed as a better movie adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget''.

Politically biased Hindsight examples that argue with each other and are solely dependent on individual political views.


* HarsherInHindsight: The entire bit about a black Presidential candidate suddenly opening a fried chicken fast food franchise is given a more serious undertone when some people attempted to make [[http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/07/obama-fried-chicken-will-keep-its-name/ Barack Obama brand fried chicken fast food restaurants.]]
