* ''WebAnimation/SuperMarioBrosZ'' had one in the second episode when Mario, at the mercy of Bowser and his metal powers, is saved by the arrival on Sonic and Shadow's capsule, which crash-lands on Bowser's head and shatters his metal coating, giving Mario a chance to fight back.

* "WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss": Practically every episode's plot relies heavily on these.
** "Spring Broken": All of I.M.P's targets happen to be on a single beachfront.
** "The Harvest Moon Festival": Striker just happens to be hired by Millie's parents as his cover for the hit job instead of one of the many other farmsteads that were part of the festival. If he wasn't, he could've easily killed Stolas as I.M.P would not be nearby. Though it's revealed that they lost a farmhand to a fire tornado the week before, making it likely that they had the opening he needed to get hired quick.
** "Truth Seekers": Agents One and Two are discussing what to do about I.M.P, only to see Blitzo and Moxxie literally right outside the window from where they are. Agent Two even lampshades how convenient it is.
** "OZZIE'S": While Moxxie choosing the place itself was unavoidable as this is a place Millie wanted to go to for a long time, Ozzie's just happened to be run by the local ring's ruler (which prevents Stolas from doing anything) and Fizzarolli while Verosika landed a night job there, effectively ruining Blitzo's night.
** "Seeing Stars": The day Azathoth's Tears are visible just happens to be the day after Stolas declared his divorce, and is the same day Blitzo decides to have "the talk" with Loona. This makes both girls bitter over their dads and kicks off the plot: Octavia elects to break into I.M.P's office and steal the Grimoire, and Loona, the only one who notices her sneaking in, doesn't try to stop her.
** "Exes and Oohs": Not only does it turn out that both Moxxie and Millie have the same ex, but Millie runs into him shortly before the gang visits Moxxie's father.
** "Western Energy": The day Loona gets her shots happens to the same day Striker makes his move, removing Blitzo and Loona from the equation for the rescue. Blitzo even lampshades how out of all days for Stolas to land in hot water it had to be on the one day he couldn't come to help out.
** "Unhappy Campers": The person Millie and Moxxie are looking for just happens to be in the exact same place on Earth that the person Blitzo is looking for, so the three imps end up in the same place despite having different objectives.
** "Oops":
*** Fizzarolli just so happens to run into Blitzo in the Greed Ring, leading to a fight right in front of the building where Crimson and Striker are having an interview. This allows Striker the opportunity to prove his worth to Crim's mob by lassoing Fizz (with Blitzo in tow), allowing Crim to hold Fizz as a hostage to exploit Ozzie.
*** Two more are also revealed during the flashback to the burning of the family circus, one in each retelling. In Fizzarolli's retelling, he tries to make an escape only to pull a curtain that just so happened to have fireworks laying around, blowing up and maiming his face. And in Blitzo's retelling, the reason the fire started was because he happened to push away an imp carrying a birthday cake with lit candles, causing the tents to start burning up.

** And of course, the cases themselves can get rather wild. Notably, "The Adventure of the Clouded Kokoro" is presented as an open-and-shut case of stabbing in the street with only one possible culprit and witnesses to the event, only to turn out to be [[spoiler:a complete accident caused by items thrown in a domestic spat several floors above the pavement, and an overworked policeman on his wedding anniversary willing to ''move an entire crime scene'' out of his jurisdiction to not ruin what should be his happiest evening of the year]]. Oh, and of the jurors, one is directly involved in the case, one indirectly so, and a third is a man Ryunosuke accused of being a murderer in another trial that quite literally happened one day earlier.

* ''Wrong E-Mail Address'': (Overlaps with ''ComicallyMissingThePoint'').\\
A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier.\\
\\
Because of their hectic schedules, it was difficult for the couple to coordinate their travel plans. So the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday, while his wife planned to fly down the following day. The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter of her email address, and sent the email without realizing his error.\\
\\
Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral. He was a Baptist minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack. The widow decided to check her email, expecting condolence messages from family and friends. But after reading her very first email, she screamed and fainted. The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:
-->To: My Loving Wife
-->Subject: I've Arrived
-->Date: March 21, 2012
-->I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I've just arrived and have been checked in.
-->I've seen that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then! Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.
-->P. S. Sure is freaking hot down here!!!

* Rupert Holmes' "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" has a guy planning to cheat on his wife/girlfriend by taking out a personal ad. Not only is said ad answered by his wife/girlfriend out of all the people in the world, but they discover that they have a lot of the same specific likes and preferences (piña coladas, getting caught in the rain, etc.) in common, which they'd somehow never shared with each other before. At least slightly justified by both parties presumably sharing the same local newspaper, which may even have been left open at the ads section.
