* Jim Sterling in his ''WebVideo/{{Jimquisition}}'' article [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/jimquisition/4966-Hate-Out-Of-Ten "Hate Out of Ten"]]. After a rant on gamers whining about how a rating of 8 out of 10 for a highly anticipated game is not a good enough score, he nervously asks "At least we're not criticizing 9's, at least now. Right? Yeah?" Cue a blog criticizing Games Radar for giving ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'' a 9.

* PlayedForLaughs across various ''WebVideo/AngryVideoGameNerd'' episodes. Many was the time he'd find a video game adaptation that ''wasn't'' made by his ArchEnemy ''Creator/LJNToys'', but rather the British developer ''Ocean Software'', and conclude with a sigh of relief that meant the game was likely to be at least decent. [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames Naturally, these games were all awful as well]]. He learns from this and eventually concludes that Ocean is basically "the British LJN", reacting to them with the same fear with which he reacts to LJN.

* From Creator/AchievementHunter:
** Ray Narvaez Jr. has a RunningGag of asking whether there is fall damage or not, after having jumped from a high position. More often than not, there is. This stems from an LP of "Trouble in Terror Town" where he leaps off a roof and asks, mid-jump, "Is there fall damage?" [[spoiler:There is and he dies, leading the terrorists to win that round.]]
** Later, during Episode 34 of their ''Minecraft'' series, Ray takes part in a pig racing tournament. He says "Richard Phist V2 is doing grea... oh, you're in the water, you fuck."
** This is probably true for any game they play, be it ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'', ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV'', ''VideoGame/{{Worms}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Halo}}'' -- if things are going their way and someone says something to tempt fate, then they'll get it in the behind.
** Jack Patillo gets an example of this during an episode of their ''[[LetsPlay/AchievementHunterMinecraftSeries Minecraft]]'' series.
--->'''Jack:''' Surprisingly, I have not found any lava... and by saying that, I ''know'' I'm jinxing myself.
** Michael Jones at one point mistakes Creator/GavinFree for a Creeper in ''Minecraft''. Immediately afterwards, [[SpeakOfTheDevil an actual Creeper shows up]], which Michael mistakes for Gavin.
** Creator/GavinFree has done this fairly often himself. See his page for multiple cases of him doing this.
* Said by Linkara in ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' before trying to upload an A.I. to his spaceship through an ion storm. Cue Iron Liz switching into a MirrorUniverse.
* ''WebVideo/BuzzfeedUnsolved'': Practically [[AgentScully Shane's hobby]]. He has yelled at demons to kill him, given Ryan's home address away to dark spirits so they can follow him home, laid down on a Pentagram in a basement supposedly used for Satanic rituals, and openly declared a dangerous spiritual entity's bridge to be his if it didn't show itself.
* {{LetsPlay/Chuggaaconroy}} is over this trope.
** The biggest one was in [[ThatOneLevel The Submerged Castle]] where he was carring a donut as treasure back with his Pikmin in ''VideoGame/Pikmin2''. He said he didn't think he triggered the [[DemonicSpider Water Wraith...]] [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments just as it falls down onto the floor in front of the ship.]]
--->'''Chuggaaconroy:''' [[LampshadeHanging I JUST HAD TO OPEN MY MOUTH! I JUST HAD TO SAY IT! AS SOON! AS I FINISH SAYING IT! YOU! SUCK! YOU! SUCK! GAME!]]
** Also in his ''VideoGame/PokemonColosseum'' Let's Play, he confuses Dakim's Camerupt and says that now that it's confused, let's hope it does something stupid. Camerupt then used Earthquake, taking out Dakim's Shadow Entei.
* In ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'', [[spoiler: When Keyleth hits the bottom of a thousand foot cliff, her player Marisha, proclaims that "It's fine! We're gods!". Travis lampshades it, "Did you just say we're gods? Why would you even tempt that?". Naturally she dies on impact.]]
* ''WebVideo/DontHugMeImScared'':
** After Yellow Guy runs off in tears in episode 3, Red Guy mentions that he "wonder[s] what will happen"... and shortly afterward, Shrignold, a malevolent cultist, shows up.
** Red Guy says this very same thing near the end of episode 6 [[spoiler: right before he unplugs the machine responsible for the teachers]].
* ''LetsPlay/DreamSMP'':

Mocking Quackity's indecisiveness and hesitation, Jschlatt claims that Quackity wouldn't even shoot him with the bow he's holding despite the fact that it'd one-shot him. Quackity ''immediately'' shoots Jschlatt with the bow, and it does indeed one-shot him.
** A tragic example comes at the end of the Lockdown Era. [[spoiler:During his stay in Pandora's Vault, Tommy continues to insist that Dream can't harm him and that he'll be leaving prison just fine. At the end of the stream, Dream brutally beats Tommy to death.]]
* ''WebVideo/DrJekyllAndMrHydeTheGameTheMovie'': When Jekyll's fiancée admits that she is worried about the wedding, Jekyll's response is literally "WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong" The next day, the entire town decides to form an angry mob at the pub, complaining about his punchable face and decides that he is deserving of death.
* The fifth round of the [=F1=] [=YouTuber=] Championship, Matt is catching up to an A.I.-controlled Nico Rosberg, who had just come out of the pits on prime-compound tyres. Ben, a little ways back, has this quip when Matt goes for a dive-bomb.

'''Aarav:''' Ben said it!\\

* The ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'' have an almost uncanny ability to declare things like "this is easy" right before getting trounced by a WakeUpCallBoss, "I got this" before failing numerous times, or being interrupted by a {{random encounter|s}} while trying to say [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue it's a good thing there are no random encounters in a dark cave]]. Typically they find it [[ActuallyPrettyFunny funny as hell]].
** Quite possibly the best example is them playing ''VideoGame/DeadRising'' and Arin taking on the Special Forces attack helicopter that's circling the mall courtyard -- he runs under some trees and confidently explains that it can't see him in the shadows and then, right on cue, he is ''[[https://youtu.be/rrjGSFWTy8E?t=653 completely rocked]]'' by a missile fired from the helicopter that knew exactly where he was.
** Similarly is when Danny is explaining with great confidence how he loves that ''VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink'' has enemies that react to Link, such as the Lowder enemies which slowly wander around aimlessly but will quickly rush at Link when he stands at the same height as them. Then he demonstrates and, as if deliberately to spite him, the Lowder ignores Link and instead ''nonchalantly wanders away and glitches through through the wall''. Arin laughs so hard at the perfect timing he ends up coughing and choking.
--->'''Danny:''' Like, he'll walk away but as soon as you're... like... ... oooo-kay, bad example. Oh, old-school Nintendo, [[GoodBadBugs you make me so happy]].
** And when playing ''VideoGame/PunchOut'' Danny is doing very well against Bald Bull and proudly declares he might take him down without taking a hit. Bald Bull lands a hit ''as he is saying this''.
--->'''Danny:''' That's my signature move. Talking shit, and immediately being interrupted by a swift blow to the side of my head.
** Speaking of talking shit, Danny does it ''again'' when playing ''VideoGame/{{Inside}}'' when he outruns some guard dogs and tips a filing cabinet in front of the door to keep them out. Before leaving however he notices he can see the dogs leaping futilely at the cabinet trying to get over it, and so he runs back to taunt them. [[DevelopersForesight Turns out the developers anticipated this]] and, the second he hops up on the cabinet, the dogs manage to ''grab his ankle and drag him out of the room to his death'' much to his utter horror and Arin's amusement.
--->'''Danny:''' Yeah! Good job, kid! Fuck you dogs! Fuck you-- OH GOD!!! OH GOD NO! OH SHIT OH FUCK!!! I shouldn't have talked shit, I should ''not'' have talked shit. Aw, now I gotta do this all over again! Sorry I talked shit everyone, I got too Jersey.

* ''WebVideo/JojosBizarreAdventureAbridged'': Poor Dio.
-->'''Dio:''' Why can't I move? Wh... why can't I-- No, no, ''[sees Jotaro walking out the fire]'' nononoNONO! MOTHERF**KER!!! ''[Jotaro stops in front of him]'' NO! NO! NO! NO! BULLS**T! BULLS**T! BULLS**T! Okay, okay, okay, calm down, Dio. Calm down. Calm down, Dio... calm down. Okay...okay. If I, Dio, don't move, then he won't realize that I, Dio, am not in front of--\\
''[Star Platinum smashes Dio's leg]''\\
'''Dio: OH MY GOD!'''\\
'''Jotaro:''' Time Continues.
* ''WebVideo/Lonelygirl15'':
** At the end of the episode "Backyard Bikini Patrol", Sarah remarks, "Us girls had a kickass day today. And, you know what? Tomorrow is gonna be even better!" The following day, in "Tick Tick Boom", villain Salinas sends her a video of her boyfriend BoundAndGagged with a bomb strapped to his chest.
** Also in "Partner Swap", the day before prom night, Emma comments, "I have this feeling that we're going to have the most memorable night of our lives." In the next episode, "Prom: It's To Die For", [[spoiler:Gina is killed]].
* WebVideo/MatthewSantoro:
** In ''20 Haunting Halloween Facts'', Matt discusses the {{urban legend}} that drinking Diet Coke with Mentos on Halloween causes you to explode. He says that there's no truth to it, and gets out a Mento and some Diet Coke to prove it. [[spoiler: He explodes.]]
** In ''Anonymous'', Matt says that he's safe from being hacked by Anonymous, since he's a small-time creator. [[spoiler: Anonymous immediately takes over his video.]]
* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick was ''sure'' that ''[[WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower She-Ra]]'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983 He-Man]]'' weren't as gay as the Critic made them out to be. He-Man ''baking'' proved her wrong.
* ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'':
** It seems that when anyone tries to review the godawful ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'' film, it is almost a requirement to suggest that it won't be as bad as it's made out to be (like Podcast/RiffTrax and The Nostalgia Critic, with the latter providing a [[Quotes/TemptingFate quote]]). In the case of the Critic, not less than 15 seconds after saying so, he tries (and fails) to pop a cyanide pill.
** Throughout the Critic's review he's been doing this a lot. He said that a current scene would be even cheesier if a certain special effect is used or quote is said. And then that happens anyway.
* ''LetsPlay/TheOnlineWarrior'':
** Maximillian, in the wake of the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake'' announcement, joked that it and ''Half-life 3'' were two of the most requested games never made". He later amended this to include ''[[{{VideoGame/Shenmue}} Shenmue 3]]''... ''right before Shenmue 3 was announced''.
** During the E3 presentation of ''Kitchen'', he joked that if Capcom wanted to make horror games like it, they should just rename them Resident Evil, even doing a mock announcer voice saying "Resident Evil 7". Said E3 presentation ended with the reveal that ''Kitchen'' was merely the working title for ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''.
* The first song in ''Prop 8: The Musical'' ends with "Nothing can go wrong/So join us in this song/Of happy days, for the gays/Nothing can go wrong!" Enter the CorruptCorporateExecutive with [[CureYourGays the titular proposition]].
* ''LetsPlay/ProAndNoob'': During the official Deviljho quest in ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterWorld'', Josh and Cotton try to escape Deviljho through the hollow log in the Ancient Forest. This is the result.
-->'''Rage:''' He can’t fit through there...\\
''[Deviljho [[CuttingTheKnot destroys the log]]]''\\
'''Cotton:''' I don't think he needs to fit through there.\\
'''Rage:''' Well, he can't close distances—\\
''[Deviljho [[DishingOutDirt lobs a boulder]] at them]''\\
'''Cotton:''' ''[cracking up]'' I don't think he needs to close distances.\\
'''Rage:''' [[LampshadeHanging I'M GONNA STOP SPEAKING NOW. I'M JUST GONNA STOP SAYING THINGS.]]
* ''WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}}'':
** In their ''Series/GamingInTheClintonYears VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'' Retsupurae:
--->'''slowbeef:''' Okay, this is VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}. So there's no fucking way you have a UsefulNotes/BillClinton joke.\\
'''Diabetus:''' ''[in faux-UsefulNotes/BillClinton accent]'' "I'll show you something that's [[HumongousMecha Weltall]]."\\
''[{{beat}}]''\\
'''slowbeef:''' ''[astounded]'' Shit.\\
'''Diabetus:''' Sorry.
** In the video [[http://blip.tv/retsupurae/the-most-shameful-thing-in-the-world-5020223 "The Most Shameful Thing in the World"]], slowbeef comments that the video, which is of an anime fan coming up with attacks for a ''VideoGame/{{MUGEN}}'' sprite, just couldn't get any worse. Cue [[LigthNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Hare Hare Yukai]] dance.
--->'''Diabetus:''' With the amount of dignity lost, I don't see how this could possibly get any..'' ''[RecordNeedleScratch]'' ''[[DancingTheme ...worse?]]
** In Let's Point at Super Metroid: "I propose this video cannot get worse from this moment. Seriously." Somehow, it did.
** In [=MageKnight404=]'s Let's Play of Pokemon White
--->'''[=MageKnight=]:''' So thanks for watching us play Pokemon White.\\
'''Diabetus:''' "[In Fake Hilda Voice] Who are you talking to?"\\
'''[=MageKnight=]:''' "[In his Hilda Voice] Wait, who are you talking to?"\\
'''slowbeef:''' Oh god.\\
'''Diabetus:''' Really?
** During the ''Escape'' RP:
--->'''slowbeef:''' Now to solve this puzzle tout suite. ''[places sink handle on faucet and turns it on]'' First we turn on the water...\\
'''Proteus:''' This might be the least retarded solution for any puzzle in this game yet.\\
'''slowbeef:''' And we're going to stop up the water with the ''silver coin''...\\
'''Proteus:''' Never mind... spoke too soon...
** During the Arise 4 RF, slowbeef mentions the how easy it is to accidentally click off a window during the game's awful combat sections, while he's fighting one of the enemies. No points for guessing what he does almost immediately afterwards.
** Invoked during [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFbVKL-Meo0 "Adults React To PewDiePie"]]:
--->'''slowbeef:''' ''[sigh]'' Y'know, maybe I'm making to much of this, maybe it's not that bad. I'm sure it has some appeal and there's probably nothing that terrible in these videos I mean you know--\\
'''LetsPlay/PewDiePie:''' Look! He's raping her, he's raping her!\\
'''slowbeef:''' I'm sorry, what was that?
** After the end of the mission in ''VideoGame/SurgicalStrike,'' the protagonist goes to a tropical island to vacation with some bikini babes. DJB responds to this with "it'd be great if these beach girls [[RunningGag just started]] [[StuffBlowingUp exploding.]]" [[spoiler:They immediately do, courtesy of [[BigBad Kabul]].]]
* LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys: During the ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld'' level "The Great Goal Pole", Jon begins to get ahead of the fleeing goal pole and yells "I'M WINNING THE RACE NOW, GOAL POLE!" Then he long jumps straight into the side of a donut block and falls to his death.
* During the ''VideoGame/SpaceEngineers'' playthrough on LetsPlay/SimonLane and Lewis' channel, Lewis walks Simon through the piloting controls. Simon quickly notices that his ship loses speed when he's not accelerating, so Lewis tells him to turn off the inertia dampeners followed by a warning: "The amount of energy you put into speeding up is the same amount of energy you need to put into slowing down. So be careful." ''Immediately'' after Lewis finishes this sentence, Simon comes careening in from the edge of Lewis' POV and crashes into their Space Labs sign at ~80 km/h. The rest of the episode is basically Simon trashing their base with similarly clumsy piloting.
* During LetsPlay/{{Sips}}' ''VideoGame/TroubleInTerroristTown'' playthrough, there are the following examples:
** LetsPlay/{{Turpster}} ends up [=RDMing=] [[note]]RDM is shorthand for "random death match", which is a term for people killing one another for no reason. It's generally seen as bad behaviour since it ruins the game for many people[[/note]] LetsPlay/LewisBrindley. This presses Lewis' BerserkButton and makes him vow that he is going to gun Turps down, irrespective as to whether or not either of them is innocent. Turps openly broadcasts his location, clearly not expecting Lewis to actually go through with it... leading to his surprise when the latter emerges and shotguns him to death.
--->'''Turps:''' AH, HE KILLED ME!\\
'''[[LetsPlay/HatFilms Trott]]:''' ''[laughing]'' He actually did kill him!//
** During [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Qh84tEqFhc&channel=YogscastSips this episode]], LetsPlay/HannahRutherford shouts at LetsPlay/DuncanJones to find better cover, as Lewis has a sniper rifle, is the traitor and can still see his head. She then forgets to hide properly herself, allowing Lewis to snipe her effortlessly.
* ''WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment'' The Spoony One sang a parody of Wrestling/RobVanDam's entrance music during one of the first episodes of ''Wrestle! Wrestle!'', with cheesy lyrics about himself ("Duh-da-duh-da-duh! It's time for the Spoony One's! Duh-da-duh-da-duh! Wrest-ling show!"), then remarked "Watch people ask me to make that the theme song." You get three guesses as to what ''WW'''s theme song is, and the first two don't count.
* ''WebVideo/SteamTrain'' is no stranger to this either, with one episode of ''VideoGame/{{VVVVVV}}'' having Ross proudly declare "Watch me do it in one go!" The next 25 straight minutes of the episode is nothing but him trying over and over to get past this part with no success. There's even warning text from Barry cautioning you that no, there is nothing else in the rest of this episode but this over and over and over.
-->The rest of this episode is nothing but this. You have been warned.
* In ''WebVideo/{{Tabletop}}'', Creator/WilWheaton mentions that one of the reasons he likes ''ZombieDice'' is because nobody ever gets out to a huge lead. Cue [[spoiler:[[Creator/{{Nigahiga}} Ryan Higa]] rolling '''ten''' brains on the first turn (out of 13 required for victory)]]. The tempting of fate was exacerbated by the other players egging him on to keep rolling, believing that his luck was going to run out on him.
* A RunningGag on ''WebVideo/TVTrash'' is for host Rowdy C. to set up a situation by saying that there's no way they could do [insert something truly despicable here], then cut instantly to just that. He's even lampshaded his tendency to tempt fate many times.
* WebVideo/UrinatingTree is known for doing this in his pre-scripted videos, but the most fitting example comes from his livestream from the 2018-19 NHL Trade Deadline. Seconds after expressing gratitude that the Pittsburgh Penguins did not trade for a slow, physical defenseman, the Pens did [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj344AxH4Ko just that]].
* On [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKgkUsOVYZc#t=479 something of a behind-the-scenes note]], the LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}} did a ''Heroes and Generals'' challenge which required the use of explosives. Smiffy of LetsPlay/HatFilms was told to detonate by someone offscreen, and a subtitle comes up telling the viewers that Smiffy and the cast are in the "safe zone", a hundred feet away from the explosion. The explosives are detonated... and a very large chunk of dirt smacks Smiffy's helmet, causing him to gingerly grin at the camera and stare in surprise as the others laugh. Thanks to the helmet, he was fine, but the others, who were ''not'' as prepared, could easily have been hurt had they actually been hit.
