That's an awful Hindsight shoehorn!

• Harsher in Hindsight: The entire Arthur franchise is this, after Rags introduced a villain with the name Arthur.

...What do you mean Fan Myopia?

The Arthurian Legend is Hilarious in Hindsight after the name Arthur became associated with a cartoon aardvark.

• Harsher in Hindsight: Plague Inc. is all about catatstrophick diseases. This becames much more harsher after COVID-19 in 2020 emergied, the first pandemic in the history of all mankind.

I tried to make sure this is as wrong as possible, including the spelling

Harsher in Hindsight: Rebel Inc, is a 2020 game made by the same creators as Plague Inc, and is about fighting against a rebel group in a wartorn country. This was made harsher by the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan.

Harsher in Hindsight: The Shining makes you feel much more sympathetic with Jack after being forced to stay inside due to the pandemic.

"Funny Aneurysm" Moment: A running joke in Caddicarus’s videos is him being unable to go outside due to bricks, which he can repel by wearing a facemask. This became a lot less funny in 2020, when the coronavirus put about an exactly identical situation.

The joke: the bricks debuted during and are literally a metaphor for COVID-19.

In ARTICLE 2, Shane says the president of the USA steps down when their term ends, which is Harsher in Hindsight for very obvious reasons so politically contentious that I refuse to say them — because as you know, everyone can easily infer what I mean here except the people who would start a fight about it.

The song "Stay Away" by Nirvana ends with the line "God is gay." This is Hilarious in Hindsight in the 2010s because everyone is now part of the LGBTQIA+7#¶©¢LGS++++++++ community, and they are all happy about it.

Was I diverse enough?

The above comment is a "Funny Aneurysm" Moment since homophobia and transphobia exist nowadays. Whether they existed in the past isn't relevant, of course.

A joke I made to my sister about "monkey jail" is now Harsher in Hindsight because of that one German lab where they basically torture monkeys might be reopened.

Hilarious in Hindsight: Chrono Trigger predicted the world would end in 1999. This was scary back in the day, but is funny now because the world didn't end in 1999

Donkey Kong is Harsher in Hindsight since the shooting of Harambe in 2017.

Becomes subverted Harsher in Hindsight when everyone thought the world was going to end in 2000, but it didn’t.

• Double Subverted in 2020, though . . . .

Eventually Hindsight: A trope about how things will be hindsight one day in the future, but aren't when the story was written.

Harsher in Hindsight: an episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch reveals that Sabrina has an evil twin named Katrina. This is now harsher after the first hurricane ever invented was named Katrina and wiped New Orleans off the face of the planet in 2005.

Harsher in Hindsight: Many of the opponents that The Undertaker has fought over his long career in the WWF/E are now dead. And yet he is still alive. It gets worse, since many of his opponents in casket matches such as Yokozuna and Kamala are now dead.

Harsher in Hindsight: Zubat’s a Poison-Type bat, nuff said!

The signature song of Cats being titled "Memory" is Harsher in Hindsight given how everybody now has bad memories of the movie adaptation.

Hilarious in Hindsight: In 2017, the third Sonic The Hedgehog Twitter Takeover had Sonic proclaim Mongolian throat singing as his favorite type of music, seemingly chosen for the sole purpose of its obscurity. A year later, Mongolian folk metal band The HU had global breakout success with songs that include Mongolian throat singing. Not so obscure anymore, is it?

Actually, this may be a little too close to a legit entry for this game. I just found it amusing, and I still don’t think it actually fits on the wiki.

"Funny Aneurysm" Moment will be a "Funny Aneurysm" Moment if the person who launched the page dies from an aneurysm.

The post below will be Hilarious in Hindsight now that I've predicted it.

Harsher in Hindsight :the "not the bees meme" is less funny due to bees mysteriously dying off.

Edited by Superjohn on Oct 18th 2020 at 4:39:54 AM

The above could also be Hilarious in Hindsight if you hate bees.

• Hilarious in Hindsight: The Phantom of the Opera was ostracized for wearing a mask to hide his face. Come the COVID-19 pandemic, where everyone has to wear a mask...

This post is Harsher in Hindsight because of the next post, which will be much better and not self-referential. Doubly harsh if it turns out that the next post isn't those things at all.
