* This trope is given a lampshade by Urdnot Fortack in ''{{MassEffect2}}'', lamenting he is researching medicine and crop genetics when he thinks could just buy that from the Salarians. Shepard notes their surprise at him willing to trust the Salarians with that, to which Fortack asks rhetorically what they could do, render the Krogan even more sterile? He quickly adds "Wait, forget I said anything.".

** Noel told Ragna at the beginning of [[BlazBlueContinuumShift Blazblue Continnum Shift]] that the next time they meet they will be enemies. See what happens when they DO come across each other at the end of the game.

** "[[SomebodyElsesProblem I'll leave her for Relius. I'm sure he'd like that.]]" - ''Relius never found her.'' [[labelnote:*]]In the true ending, Bang gets up in Relius' face. In the bad ending, ''Makoto'' found ''Relius'' instead.[[/labelnote]]

** And it gets so much worse - [[spoiler:Relius' entire plan for Makoto in ''Chronophantasma'' [[INeedYouStronger amounts to strengthening her soul to its very limit]] before [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt implanting it into Rettenjou and invoking the Day of Destruction]]. Telling her that Relius is interested in her essentially gives her a lead on investigating what he could want with her, a month is a long time to conduct that information, and Kokonoe is a good place to start, with many options on who to contact next - and between her physical ability, her [[SmarterThanYouLook intelligence]], and her sheer [[PluckyGirl strength of will]], if Hazama's plans are to survive Relius can't get rid of her fast enough.]] Hazama, if some time in the near future Makoto has a hand in causing your grand scheme [[spoiler:and Relius' ]]to [[OutGambitted violently implode upon itself]], then we at TV Tropes just want you to know that we freakin' called it.

* While it's canon status may be questionable, [[BlazBlue Hazama]] must be asking for it during the end of Makoto's Arcade Mode. Just listen to the dialogue - he must really have been desperate for trolling ammunition, as half the things he said have, with [[ObfuscatingStupidity her intellect]], the potential to come back to haunt him.
-->'''Makoto''': Does screwing with peoples' lives get you off that much?!\\
'''Hazama''': [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman Lives? Dolls don't have lives... they got jack-shit!]]\\
'''Makoto''': A doll...?!\\
'''Hazama''': Soul or no, if it was made by humans, then it was a tool meant to be used by humans! I mean, seriously! Wait... [[FantasticRacism does that make beastkin tools, too?]]\\
'''Makoto''': ''[[ShutUpHannibal Shut the hell up! We were never tools, you stupid asshole!]]''\\
'''Hazama''': Oh, my little chipmunk... you were created with the purpose of fighting the [[EldritchAbomination Black Beast]]. ''She'' was created with the purpose of [[RageAgainstTheHeavens killing a god!]]
** It gets ''much'' worse for him. [[spoiler:During the events of ''Slight Hope'', Hazama is ''the'' first opponent Makoto winds up fighting. While his plot armor protects him from the worst she has to offer, she gets right back up for another round, most likely so Jin can get out alive. He learns firsthand that she will go down fighting for the sake of the people she cares about. And this is all in the ''Wheel of Fortune'' timeline. Hazama is supposed to have RippleEffectProofMemory, and yet he comes up with the [[WhatAnIdiot brilliant]] idea of sending Makoto to Ikaruga while he goes about merrily [[MindRape mindraping]] her two good friends Noel and Tsubaki. Not only does this end up triggering a StableTimeLoop, but in order to go to ''Wheel of Fortune'', Makoto has to fall into the Cauldron at Ikaruga and jaunt through the Boundary. As a result, while she doesn't know what happened to Tsubaki, Hazama now has dead-set on ending his ass a squirrel who is [[ObfuscatingStupidity smarter than she looks]], [[PluckyGirl highly resistant if not outright immune to the worst mindrape he has to offer]], [[BadassNormal absurdly strong, nimble, and notoriously hard to kill]]. But fortunately for Hazama, Relius can take care of her.]]

* TeamFortress2: in ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlwpQY-Tbls Meet the Sandvich]]'', the BLU [[CloudCuckoolander Soldier]] delivers this gem while [[CurbStompBattle getting his ass kicked]] by the RED [[TheBigGuy Heavy]]:

* In ''VideoGame/Dragon AgeII'', Sarcastic!Hawke LOVES doing this. And Varric, being the narrator and GenreSavvy, hates it when s/he does.

* In ''VideoGame/SpaceColony'', Venus says about the team's new assignment - a planet where a resort hotel is to be built:

* This audio diary from one of [[BioShock Cohen's]] disciples, that you find after you have to kill him, ends thusly:

* In ''ResidentEvil5'', right after you run into a pair of [[spoiler:Lickers]], one of the characters remarks that it's a good thing there was only a couple of them, because there was no way they'd survive against a whole horde of them. Guess what happens when you have to wait for the elevator...

* ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'': Late into the final battle, the ceiling of the test facility finally opens out. [[spoiler:Wheatley]] then taunts, "Take one last look at your precious [[spoiler:human moon]], because it can't save you now!" Let's just say your opponent just gave the game away (especially if you've played through the game and recalled the origins of the Mobility Gels).

* ''MetroidPrime 3: Corruption'' gets in on the act at the beginning of the game at the same time it references Warhammer 40K with the Horus Rebellion. That feeling it could get worse? [[ItGotWorse He has]] ''[[ItGotWorse no]]'' [[ItGotWorse idea...]]

* In ''[[DragonAge Dragon Age II]]'', Sarcastic!Hawke LOVES doing this. And Varric, being the narrator and GenreSavvy, hates it when he does.

* Near the start of ''XenobladeChronicles'', Fiora tells Shulk that she's super-happy and wishes every day could be like this forever. [[spoiler:So naturally the colony gets invaded shortly thereafter.]]
