* Film/{{Evan}} [[https://www.facebook.com/Fox32Chicago/videos/10155190778208797/ is a pretty cute film]]... until the end, then you watch it a second time and blame yourself for not noticing what was HiddenInPlainSight. This PSA shows a young high school student communicating with an unknown girl by writing messages on a table in the library, then trying to build up the courage to talk to this girl he's crushing on. We see him leave her a cute note, her friends whisper to her about him, and a generally sweet love story which ends with the boy finally approaching her in the school gym... and that's when the doors open and another student with a gun comes in, ready to open fire. Watching the PSA a second time reveals that the young man was in the background of all of the previous shots, with clues indicating that he was miserable: he's bullied in the hallway, he mimes "shooting" a teacher with a finger gun as she passes by, he's reading magazines and watching videos about guns, and he even posted a message "See you at school" where he was pointing a gun at the camera. The idea is that people often miss "warning signs" of dangerous behavior, and given that many viewers were surprised by the ending, it certainly proved its point.

* Yard Act's [[EpicRocking seven-and-a-half-minute]] [[SpokenWordInMusic spoken word]] song "Blackpool Illuminations". The song is framed as a counselling session, with frontman James Smith opening up to his therapist about a painful experience from his childhood, and how the event affected him moving into adolescence. Around the six minute mark, the music abruptly cuts out, and a child's voice asks "Are you making this up?" From this point on it becomes clear that we're not in a counselling session at all - the "therapist" is in fact Smith's young son, and Smith's monologue is a bedtime story.

* The ''Radio/JohnFinnemoresSouvenirProgramme'' sketch set in a bookmakers appears to be about an agreeable but somewhat clueless guy who doesn't quite get how a bookies works. The final line reveals that he knew ''exactly'' what he was doing, and his seemingly absurd bet is actually something that he has inside knowledge of.
