* In "Meet the Quagmires," in a parody of Film/BackToTheFuture1, [[Brian gives a performance of [[Music/RickAstley "Never Gonna Give You Up"]] in place of the original film's [[Music/ChuckBerry "Johnny D. Goode"]]. The original JustForFun/{{Rickroll}} had already been circulating 4chan for at least a couple of months by the episode's release, but it still wasn't a well known phenomenon, and the episode had been in production for much longer. The Family Guy writers were merely making fun of the song for being a mediocre 80s chart-topper, yet they happened to do so just before an internet meme would cement the song in popular culture.

Added DiffLines:
* Stewie pleading to FOX to at least let them stay on long enough to be syndicated in "Road to Rhode Island", which, thanks to its 2005 revival, being rerun on TBS and Cartoon Network's Creator/AdultSwim block, and eventually reaching off-air syndication, it has exceeded its goal.
* In "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein," Peter expresses how badly he needs help from a Jewish person. Later in season 8, in the episode "Family Goy," it's revealed that [[spoiler:Lois is Jewish on her mom's side, and had to hide it so Carter can get into a country club that's notorious for banning anyone who's Jewish]].
* The season seven episode "We Love You Conrad" has Stewie refer to Bruce Jenner as a beautiful ''woman''. In April 2015, [[http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/bruce-jenner-im-woman/story?id=30570350 Jenner came out as transgender]], and two months later, got gender reassignment surgery and is now known as Caitlyn Jenner. Stewie knew her true gender identity six years before anyone else did and even funnier when Brian tries to correct him saying "Bruce Jenner is a man." This gets {{lampshade|Hanging}}d ten years and ten seasons later in the season seventeen episode "Hefty Shades of Gray".
* Music/MileyCyrus is revealed to be a robot in "Hannah Banana"; her 2010 album ''Can't Be Tamed'' actually features a song called "Robot". The lyrics just make it even more funny.
* In the episode "Family Guy Viewer Mail #1", Peter tells Diane and Tom Tucker to "Make like a Siamese twin and split, and then one of you die." [[spoiler:Diane was KilledOffForReal in the ninth season premiere.]]
* One cutaway gag features Katie Holmes escaping from Creator/TomCruise, In June 2012, Katie announced she was divorcing Tom because he was too controlling.
* In "Screwed the Pooch" after finding out Brian didn't impregnate Seabreeze, he says he was looking forward to being a dad. Later in "The Former Life of Brian", it is revealed he has a human son (and in "Jerome is the New Black," one of the reasons why Quagmire hates Brian is that he never cares for Dylan, having only seen him once and bonded with while smoking weed).
* A 2007 episode contained a joke in which Carl Sagan's ''Cosmos'' was "edited for rednecks" by dubbing over an explanation of the Big Bang. In 2014, [[http://gawker.com/fox-station-cuts-evolution-out-of-neil-degrasse-tysons-1543147417 an Oklahoma City Fox affiliate just happened to interrupt]] UsefulNotes/NeilDeGrasseTyson's mention of evolution on the updated ''Series/{{Cosmos}}''. Not to mention that Creator/SethMacFarlane is actually involved with the ''Cosmos'' reboot.
* Possibly deliberate; eight years after a cutaway joke about the implausibility of Creator/LiamNeeson playing an American cowboy because of his Irish accent and being in more UK movies than American ones, Creator/SethMacFarlane cast him in his sophomore directorial effort, ''Film/AMillionWaysToDieInTheWest'' as an outlaw American cowboy (and, is considered by some, to be the [[JustHereForGodzilla only good part of the movie]]).
* "What Really Grinds My Gears" from ''WesternAnimation/StewieGriffinTheUntoldStory'' is very similar to ''WebVideo/YouKnowWhatsBullShit''. Peter even kind of looks like a fatter Creator/JamesRolfe.
* One cutaway gag had ComicBook/{{Iceman|MarvelComics}}'s wife catching him going to a gay bar. Nine years later, Iceman canonically came out as gay.
* In "Bill and Peter's Bogus Journey", a cutaway of "[[ComicBook/FantasticFour The Thing]] dating Lorena Bobbitt" features somebody finding The Thing's rocky penis. In ''Film/FantasticFour2015'', it was revealed that The Thing doesn't have any pants on and appears not to have any genitals, which makes this scene ironic.
* During the "post-movie" scene of ''Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story'', Peter mentions that an episode he directed caused backlash because it centered on incest, which is exactly what happened in the season 12 episode "Fresh Heir" (only it had Chris about to marry Peter, not Chris having sex with Lois and Brian ranting, "Wrong! It's wrong!").
* In "North by North Quahog" Peter and Lois find a fictional sequel to ''Film/ThePassionOfTheChrist'' in Creator/MelGibson's home. In June 2016, it was announced that Mel Gibson would be making a sequel.
* In "The Tan Aquatic With Steve Zissou", Peter grumbles about getting Mega Bloks instead of bonafide Franchise/{{LEGO}}s. Much later, Mega Bloks (since renamed Mega Construx) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AgDVph0rKQ released an official Peter Griffin collectable figurine]].
* The plot of "A House Full of Peters" makes Peter's SuspiciouslySpecificDenial [[spoiler:about his having unwittingly fathered another child]] in "Don't Make Me Over" much, much funnier. [[spoiler: For bonus points, the former episode took place after Peter's vasectomy, and the latter took place before.]]
* "Brian Sings and Swings", in which Brian meets Frank Sinatra Jr. and begins to perform on stage with him (and they are shortly joined by Stewie), has Peter mistakenly believe that Frank Jr.'s mother is Creator/MiaFarrow, even becoming a BrickJoke at the end of the episode when Farrow spanks Frank Jr. in front of an audience. In 2013, Mia Farrow raised speculation that Music/FrankSinatra could have been the biological father of Ronan Farrow, her son with Creator/WoodyAllen.
* The episode "Patriot Games" had Peter join the New England Patriots and get fired after only one game. More than one person compared this to what happened to Antonio Brown in the real 2019 football season.
* In "Meet the Quagmires," in a parody of Film/BackToTheFuture1, [[Brian gives a performance of [[Music/RickAstley "Never Gonna Give You Up"]] in place of the original film's [[Music/ChuckBerry "Johnny D.
