* ''Manga/ChoujinX'': In chapter 27, the audience sees a flashback to the massacre of Simon's family, in which a Nue Chimera held up the severed heads of the Kagomuras and mocked their status as "heroes." Initially the audience is lead to believe he's referring to how the Kagomuras became complacent in their powers and grew weak. Later on in chapter 49, we find out that [[spoiler:the Kagomura clan aided Sora in carrying out her genocide in Antoland]]... and suddenly that line takes on an ''entirely'' different meaning.

* ''Theatre/WesterosAnAmericanMusical'': At some point, plans are made to use a hairnet to smuggle a small item into an event without the person actually wearing the hairnet being aware of it. As the female character meant to wear the hairnet recieves it at is asked to wear it at the event in question, the orchestrator of the smuggling says "That hairnet is meant to go over her head"; it can be read both as an idiosyncratic way of saying "on her head" and an allusion to the fact that the wearer must have no idea that she's being used as a smuggler.

* ''WesternAnimation/LowerDecks'': At the recruiting booth in "Reflections", Mariner encourages passersby to join Starfleet to "experience Warp 10 excitement!" and "discover the undiscovered country!" Appealing-sounding slogans, based on famous/notorious references to Star Trek's history - but travelling at Warp 10 evolves people into salamanders, and the undiscovered country is a Shakespearian metaphor for ''[[Theatre/{{Hamlet}} death]]''.
