The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.

I think 20 Minutes into the Future works best. Should the trope be the first one listed since it’s a number?

I don’t think 20 Minutes into the Future fits. It’s a setting trope, while what you’re describing is a dialogue joke.

Modern Rogue referred to 2021 as the far future in a 2017 episode. Is there a trope for now being in that “distant future”, rendering the whole thing sort of silly?
