When this Troper used to be a child, she used to create her own Pokemon. In 2000, I used to be so obsessed with Swan Lake and swans, even creating a Pokemon called Swanna (the exact spelling and design (in my mind at least)!). Ten years later, Pokemon Black and White came out and a Pokemon named Swanna (with the designs I had in mind) is part of the Unova PokeDex.

A couple of weeks ago, This Troper was listening to one of the new songs by Flogging Molly, "Saints and Sinners". She then heard a line in the song about the apocalypse. The new Flogging Molly came out just a few days after Harold Camping's failed apocalypse prediction.

When I was a kid I used to write movie and TV scripts for shows I liked. I started writing a script in 1998 when I was 11 for a Simpsons Movie and put Green Day as themselves in the cast list. Fast forward nine years...

This troper recently saw this video, and was about to post it under the Web Original section of [=~That's What She Said~=]... then she sees this:

WayneGrayson completely owned LittleKuriboh using this comeback at Youmacon 2009. #QUOTE# '''LK''': Well, it's good to know Joey is loved in various areas. *{{beat}}* Wait a minu-- #QUOTE# '''Wayne''': That's what she said!

Another one from Reiko-chan: was watching a DramaticReading of My Immortal, and when I went to school yesterday, what did I see? One of the grade 10s in my Girls' Wellbeing class, Olivia, now had red eyes instead of her normal blue-green-grey - ''she was wearing colour contacts!'' My initial reaction was "creepy...", but then I inwardly LOL'd.

This Just In: Sometime after I agreed with whoever said the FireEmblem section of the Funny.VideoGames page should be its own page, this happened. A MadeOfWin was given.

This Troper's Mother would occasionally call the TV a computer or the computer a TV when she’s in a bad mood and wants me or my brother to turn it off. Years back, the whole "Turn off the TV!(she meant the computer)" would be funny because you CAN watch TV on the computer. However, the TV could not go on the internet. Flash-forward to now where if you have a Wii you CAN go on the internet (and then watch TV) XD.

This Troper's brother and her had just got SSBB and were trying out the different characters. The brother, who had mained Ness and Roy in SSBM, didn't like Lucas because he was overpowered compared to Ness (faster upB that goes through enemies instead of crashing into them, more knockback on specials up and down et.c.), but understood why Troper was playing as him (she loves insecure characters who still kick ass, and he was somewhat easier to learn how to play properly). Fast forward a few years when Lucas is ranked 30th in tier-rankings, and you've got the Troper laughing at her brother's mistake.

This troper was an enormous fan of Digimon Adventure as a child... and has recently sold her soul to the Kingdom Hearts series. However, I recently remembered a scene where Sora and Biyomon were discussing the human world... and Sora mentions there are million of human kids, to which Biyomon responds "There are millions of Soras?" Any Kingdom Hearts fan worth their salt knows why this is funny. Made funnier because I remembered this the day I beat Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep.

This troper's sister greatly enjoyed the song Birthday Sex, singing it until everyone got annoyed with her. Said sister and her husband are now expecting their first child. Guess which day my sister got pregnant?

This troper found this scene from ''Vanilla Sky'' way, way, ''way'' more amusing than was probably intended, because of the field she works in. Tech support.

This Troper's laughed like a fiend when she found out that her little brother's Chinese name translates to, approximately, Jadedite. (This was not intentional on the part of her parents.)

I found the Noel example in the original entry funny, because I had made a similar joke when I finally got the joke behind a sign that had a no sign with an L in it.

This troper made a Lion King FanVid and had the words "Simba flavored?" in the video because it randomly fit with the song lyrics. That phrase has a whole new meaning now that her friend's boyfriend names his penis Simba...

A victim of childhood trauma?

In an early, now abandoned, SpeculativeFiction novel that this troper was working on, he described the fact that global warming was now fixed and it snowed in Spain. That winter (1999), it snowed in Spain.

For the record, Spain is the second highest country in Western Europe and it snows '''every year'''. It even has perma-snow in some of the mountains (Sierra Nevada and Pyrenees)

"Nevada" even means snowfall in Spanish... so that would be pretty remarkable if there was no snow in the Sierra Nevadas.

Before anyone tries to correct the above entry, Sierra Nevada is a name for two mountain ranges, the first in Spain and the one in the United States was named after it.

After watching ''300'', this troper cannot hear a variation of SeeYouInHell without thinking about "dining in '''HELL'''."

Well, thanks to a macro from an online acquaintance, this troper can't hear the line "Tonight, we dine in hell!" without mentally (or sometimes verbally) adding, "And tomorrow, I'm thinkin' Arby's!"

"Tonight we dine '''wherever is reasonably affordable!'''"

More recently, said troper listened to "I'm on a Boat". Then another troper showed him the H-manga "Sailor Panic," the ending of which has the protagonist getting on a boat to escape a flock of schoolgirls wanting to rape him.

This editor remembers one time when he was watching pokemon. The episode was Ash's loosing battle in the Johto league. Now this was after Pokemon Ruby had come out, and Blaziken was this troper's favorite Pokemon. So when he saw that Ash's opponent was using the 3rd generation Pokemon, I said (For a laugh) to my brother "You know, if that guy has a Blaziken, Ash is screwed". And lo and behold, the final Pokemon the Honen guy had was a Blaziken, and Ash did, in fact lose! {{Emperordaein}}

A friend of this editor defined censorship as 'Imagine ''{{Torchwood}}'' with no violence, swearing or sex. That's censorship'. Oh dear...

It gets worse...

This troper watched the second episode of ''LuckyStar'', in which the girls discuss their anxiety about dentists, the same day he finished ''{{Psychonauts}}'', which has as one of its main villains a MadScientist who called himself a dentist forcing people to literally sneeze out their brains.

This troper had a pet cat, Velvet, that was a stray. We were having him fixed, and I made a joke about how funny it would be if we found out Velvet was already fixed. Guess what we found out.

This troper used to play with action figures with a friend and create stories about the characters. (In hindsight, it was GodModeSue fanfiction.) One of the characters was named Kenny, based on a video game character with the same name, but his designated action figure had an annoying tendency to come apart. Thus, he ended up dying and being reconstructed a lot. A few years later, ''SouthPark'' debuted.

{{Rebochan}} once watched a taped program from the 1980s in a government class in High School...in the year 2001. The tape still had the contemporary ads, which the teacher let us watch along with the show. One of the ads was for a brand of batteries and featured someone using them in a garage remote. As the garage door closed over a contemporary car, the announcer noted something along the lines of "Your batteries will last until 2001". Cue flying car exiting garage. Cue laughter from students and teacher off-handedly shouting "Time to change your batteries!"

In 1999 my 5 year old brother listened to Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds for the first time. The Opera ends with a probe going missing on Mars and another attack being launched. Less than an hour later, NASA announced the loss of a probe on Mars. The poor kid was terrified! And he still can't listen to the opening song without getting nightmares.

After readnig this wiki, this troper finds any use of "SeriousBusiness" to be quite funny, like in one episode of the Naruto dub when Iruka describes a poem about the philosophy of leadership as such.

Troper SpaceJawa created a custom HeroClix dial for an online contest where a WhatIf had a GreenLantern Ring find its way into the hands of {{Deadpool}} and give him Green Lantern powers. Less than a year later, he learned that the guy who played Wade Wilson in the Wolverine Origins movie had been hired to star in the live action Green Lantern movie. Cue Internal Laughter.

This article from the ''{{Magic The Gathering}}'' website, describing the creative process of bringing back characters from previous arcs for the old-school themed ''Time Spiral'' set. At one point, they discuss Lim-Dul and Jaya Ballard, both from the ''Ice Age'' block, and how they were thinking of using them for ''Coldsnap'', but chose ''Time Spiral'' instead because by the time ''Coldsnap'' takes place, Lim-Dul's dead and Jaya is a planeswalker: "Jaya's problem was that as of the Coldsnap story she was a planeswalker, and we don't put planeswalkers on cards (before and after yes, during no)". Now, guess what they started putting on cards in the next block. You have three guesses and the first two don't count.

A friend, for whatever reason (I don't think anything ever came of it), asked for a color scheme for a StepMania interface. Figuring the most garish response would be the best (or funniest), I went with "brushed metal and fuchsia". Which prompted him to throw up in his mouth a bit. Flash forward to late 2008, and another friend remarks, "You do know you pretty much described [{{Beatmania}} IIDX] EMPRESS, right?"

Not sure if this fits here or somewhere else, but here seems to work better than anywhere I can think of. This troper just watched the 1990 remake of ''NightOfTheLivingDead'' and found the disclaimer at the end of the credits that "Any similarities to persons ''living or dead'' is purely coincidental" to be extremely hilarious. (Emphasis mine.)

This troper once saw a Japanese Uni Qlo Advert on YouTube (the vid has since been deleted). He asked if the guy in the clip was Ryotaro Nogami's actor (from ''KamenRiderDenO''). He was told no and that it was Sakurada Dori and then said his haircut looked similar. Months later Sakurada Dori landed a role in the third movie of ''KamenRiderDenO''...as Ryotaro's grandson!

Some years ago, this troper applied for a data entry job, and was given a typing speed test. The two people administering the test were astonished that the figure (presumably characters per hour) was "almost ten thousand". (Still didn't get the job though.)

This troper has been jokingly teased since grade school about being him called a sheep due to his messy hair. When RagnarokOnline finally introduced the homunculi for the Alchemist-classes, this troper used the sheep-looking one because of its tanking abilities. The troper has then since been called by friends and tankees as the Iron Sheep. It also helped that the troper likes to cook and eat food in general ,and watches the show occasionally.

Maybe I'm reading a bit too much into things, but the ''TinyToonAdventures'' shot "Stand-Up And Deliver" (part of the "Henny Youngman Day" episode had Babs '''Bunny''' trying her hand at stand-up comedy and getting help from none other than Robin Killems. Okay, so it's not what's quite happened with me (RobinWilliams hasn't actually helped me out on stage, let alone seen me perform... yet), but it really made me go "Whoa." ... and the weirdest thing? I doesn't even remember seeing that short as a kid (though I probably did and forgot, it's from the same episode as the famous "Water go down the hoooooole" short).

Didn't that (or a variaton on that) happen OnceAnEpisode?

Before Undefined Fantastic Object was released, I looked up the Other Wiki's article for Nue. I found myself thinking about how interesting a Nue would be in the Touhou universe. When the game finally came out...guess who was the EX boss!

For this troper, the giant mutated lungfish's real name in {{Psychonauts}}, due to the fact that she shares a name with said troper's ''mother''. (Cue "your mom" jokes.)

In late 2008, this troper had to answer the question "If you could be anybody in the world for one day, who would it be?" on a website, and said "Either a Cirque du Solei acrobat or an astronaut in orbit." A few months later, the founder of Cirque du Solei became a space tourist.

Inverted with This Troper, for whom a high school event was made hilarious by something that happened ''before'' it. She was taking a class on psychology, and the body's rhythms were explained thus: "It has to do with biology," (Vulcan biology?) and with references to samon needing to return to their birthplaces to spawn. After having watched "Amok Time," all I could think was 'Don't say "You are not a fish, Mr. Spock", Don't say "You are not a fish, Mr. Spock"...'

In the early days of my youth when OnePiece was airing under 4kids arm (Please, no backlash...), I got OnePiece: Grand Battle, I spoke to my sister, and wished Ace and Vivi were in the game, she agreed, several hours later, I found they were making an American sequel to the game, which ''did have'' Ace and Vivi, characters I mentioned afterward turned out to be in the game.

Even more hilarious is the fact I spoke to my sister about who else we wanted in the game before it was released (not everybody was revealed), I said I wanted to see young Zoro as a playable character, with Kuina as a support character, but then, when the last footage was released, ''Kuina'' was the playable character and Zoro was the support character.

Not related to OnePiece, but on the DethroningMomentOfSuck page, I argued that if everybody hated the first Mario entry, what would the point in be making ones like the first one (Or something like that, could somebody correct this?), several weeks later, Yahtzee's review of NewSuperMarioBrosWii is on the page, complete with Yahtzee bombarding his sequel hate on it.

And, more fandom based in particular, in Naruto, Kabuto took out more then ten Black Ops memebers, in a video game, I usually put three characters against Kabuto (He's really broken, tell me you wouldn't do the same thing), I discovered that when paired up against three Black Ops members, he's defeated ''really easily'', needless to say, I laughed quite a bit.

In a play-by-post game, this troper once wrote a throw-away line about his archer character thinking to himself, while he has a cold, that he needs to take time off and get over the cold before he sneezes mid-battle and accidentally shoots the wrong person. Cue the next battle he got into, where (albeit not due to sneezing) he accidentally shot (and knocked out!) his boss/crush. The entire battle was considered absolutely hilarious Out of Character anyway, but this troper just re-discovered the line from the first post, so...

This troper's friend has had two recently, one was watching the first scene with Badger in ''{{Firefly}}'' where he kept MSt3king it so the characters talked about Badger's nice hat, cue laughter when Mal actually says "NiceHat"

And even more recently we were watching ''ShaunOfTheDead'' and he kept bringing up that Shaun's mother was the old prime minister in a Series/DoctorWho episode, once again there was laughter when she stated "we have to wait for the doctor."

In a ''BabylonFive'' RPG, this troper played a pro-proletariat Minbari Worker Caste, who felt disenfranchised, largely playing on the lack of acknowledgement they got in the show. Then I find out about the novel "To Dream In the City of Sorrows", where the disenfranchisement of the Worker Caste is delved into a lot more.

This troper, back around 2003 (Around the time Apple began the "Switch to Mac" series of ads), made a joke about a future ad, where the Mac and PC are talking; the former making fun of the problems with the latter. Jump forward several years, and the new ad campaign involves Mac making fun of PC's problems (Blowing the problems of the latter out of proportion. For some of their points, they DidNotDoTheResearch).

For this troper, it would be this UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny posting on the Comic Book Resources forum about how characters from all fiction would handle the landshark from SaturdayNightLive. One of the characters was Ash from {{Pokemon}}, who responded to the landshark by thinking it as a Garchomp and catching it. Of course, now Ash in the anime will get a Gible, the Pokemon whose final form is Garchomp.

Back in 2006, I cosplayed as Zidane Tribal, and chose to, at times, since I was in my first year of Japanese Language learning, speak Japanese, imitating Ed's Japanese voice. It earned a couple chuckles out of people at the con who heard it. Cut to 2008, where Zidane's Seiyuu turns out to be... RomiPaku.

This troper remembers reading a bunch of quotes by political cartoonists from a Newsweek issue prior the the 2000 election. One of them mentioned that loved drawing Steve Forbes, and that his idea of hell would be eight years of George W. Bush.

This troper once was reading the Tintin book "Flight 714", which features AncientAstronauts with her brother and described it as "A real Indiana Jones-type adventure." Then the fourth Indiana Jones movie comes out, featuring... AncientAstronauts.

This Troper has two friends that play TeamFortress2. Let's call them Eric and Tristran. Eric's best class is Soldier, Tristran's best class is Demoman. Eric prefers to play for RED. Tristram prefers to play for BLU. I think an UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny between them would be awesome. Recently, Valve released the Demoman Vs Soldier Class Updates.

Back in 2003, this troper did at school a version of this IMDb poll. But instead of Pauly Shore, unknown in my country, he put... Chuck Norris. Before MemeticBadass status!

I once joked to a friend about how Susie, the disembodied brunette girl head from {{Killer7}} resembled Suzy, the brunette girl from ZatchBell. Of particular note was their similar StalkerWithACrush tendencies. This got a prompt DudeNotFunny from my friend...until Suzy started displaying outright {{Yandere}} traits, not unlike what Susie reveals in the later conversations with her.

I made this deliberately SoBadItsGood (YourMileageMayVary though, although most of the people were CompletelyMissingThePoint) video almost a year ago. For some reason I fell on the floor laughing after I realized recenntly that the gun I used here is... a hairdryer, adding to the comedy.

In one story I'm writing, I had the characters eating Domino's Pizza and insulting it, calling it 'crap'. That chapter was published in either Novermber or December; some time later I heard that Domino's is changing its recipie. It's cutting it a little close, but it still counts for me.

I have as my email signature since senior year high school the years and class I graduated from, with "world dictator" on the date 4 years after college, '13. Due to the economy I have had to go to law school earlier than expected, and will be part of the class of '13.

One of my CatchPhrases is 'Well, that was a good idea 10 minutes ago.'

A joke I once made about ''{{Lost}}'' became much funnier at the end of season 5: #QUOTE# I must kill the demons! #QUOTE# No John, {{you are the demons}}. #QUOTE# then John was the smoke monster.

This troper finds all those kinky scenes with Cameron and Chase in House funnier now that she's dating an Aussie.

This troper had a couple. First, he created a happy-go-lucky teenage Malkavian with pigtails and ADHD. Then VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines came out. Second, discussing MassEffect with his friend, he called Garrus a "paladin". Guess what is Garrus' code name in the sequel. April Fools' news about {{Doom}} and {{PrinceOfPersia}} movies being in production count too - it took ''Doom'' a year from fake news to release and ''Prince of Persia'', well... Five years and finally closing in.

This troper--the author of "Turn of the Endless Sorcerer"--created an unintentionally hilarious ironic moment in chapter eighteen wherein Battler proposes to Beatrice and they later on get married (off-screen). One month later, cue the author's jaw hitting the floor upon discovering what happens at the end of Ep6...

Not completely hilarious, but still funny. I was skiing in France and, while on a ski lift, my aunt said something which equates to "I don't think it will snow anymore." Halfway up the next lift, guess what happened...and it lasted for the rest of the trip.

This Troper once had a dream a few years back where he and his friends where Power Rangers...in a domed city that we protected from a evil force that had killed all other life outside the city. Sound familiar? The only diffrence between my dream and Power Rangers RPM is that the evil in my dream was sentient disease rather then a computer virus, but thats still pretty damn close.

When this troper played ''[=~Pokémon~=] [=FireRed=]'', he called the rival "Douche". Today (April 22, 2010), he heard of a certain webcomic called ''Super Effective''...

Many years ago, on a forum, a person this troper later became pals with posted in a discussion on the topic of homosexuality. His post included gems like "being gay goes against my biological wiring", but it definitely wasn't homophobic (the post was later described as "Narnian", i.e. so deep in the closet you're in your own little fantasy world). A few years later, guess who declared that he probably was gay? I immediately jumped on it and a paragraph of that post has remained in my signature ever since, even though he's most likely bisexual now. Him being gay is definitely still a RunningGag.

This troper was talking about the WW2 rumour that Hitler only had one testicle with his mother (since she doesn't approve of impolite language, I was coughing instead of saying the word) and his sister. Later that night, we went to see the file It's a Wonderful Afterlife, where, near the end, a guy gets some garden shears stuck in his groin. Since I hadn't even heard of the film before we went to see it (I had thought we were going to see Kick Ass), this was very strange...and very funny.

There was a deviant art user who posted a rant on all the Scarecrow cliches used in Batman fanfiction. (He made a lot of valid points, but loses a thousand points for whining and atrocious spelling.) He rightly complained about the weird phenomenon of fanfiction writers having Scarecrow rescue their Mary Sue for some reason, but the way he chose to phrase it - "Scarecrow is a villain therefore will never save anyone ever" - became really hilarious when Scarecrow got chosen to be a Yellow Lantern.

In an imaginary town this troper created, one of the more prominent families lives on what I named "Burdell Street." Imagine my surprise several months later when I heard about George P. Burdell, locally famous and technically imaginary, from this Cracked article.

This troper can't take {{Pocahontas}} seriously is because of WorldOfWarcraft. Look at John Smith. Now look at Arthas, the Lich King. See what I mean?

This troper read an article about a pitch for "a darker Fantastic Four reboot" and sarcastically asked "What, do they get their powers in a Challenger-like space disaster?" Then she found out somebody on the Atomic Think Tank message boards RPs a superhero team with that exact origin.

This Troper Finds the song, ''The Bad Touch'' extra funny when he found out that the discovery channel is Channel 34 (on cable)

This troper remembers a comment on an entry about ''Series/DoctorWho'' about the interacial relationship between Mickey and Rose, which pointed out how British classism was still strong enough that a relationship between two people of different race but similar background would be a lot more common than a relationship between Mickey and Martha (considering that he is working class, whereas she is a doctor). That comment becomes quite funny when one learns that Mickey and Martha were married at the end of Season 4 (even if they barely knew each other).

This troper (currently pageless as of this time of writing) once said on Twitter "Hmmm... LadyGaga as an EvilOverlord... what would the world be like? Interesting." (this was a reference to the whole "Lady Gaga is an Illuminati puppet" thing) Well... let's just say the video for "Alejandro" now answers my question.

Before this, there was an example that literally occurred within ''minutes''. My mom and I were watching the first ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' movie and making fun of it. At one point, when Bella and Edward were making out in her bedroom, and then sleeping in the same bed, we started making jokes about Charlie, specifically of the OverprotectiveDad variety. At one point we mentioned a gun. The next scene after this? Opens with him loading a gun. We both burst into laughter right then and there.

Last September, my brother said he "had a vision of the future" while carpooling with his girlfriend and her two younger cousins. Specifically, the kids were yelling at each other, and the girlfriend was turned around scolding them. One month later, guess who found out she was pregnant?

Some time back my friend and I were coming up with ideas for a GTA-style game set in Malaysia lampooning the government and such, even though such an idea would never fly as the Malaysian government doesn't like this, and the references would only be known to Malaysians. Then, JustCause 2 came out...

This troper's family, who are all fans of BillBailey, were in histerics last Christmas when we saw the news. All we could think was "#67: Lunge Wildly at the Pope".

Same troper as above, and I've remembered two other examples. I was looking through my friend's deviantart account, and I found two pictures that have been made hilarious because of YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries. One was of Duke as an Alien, the other was of Marik asking Yami Marik for a hug. :D

This summer, me and a group of friends spent a weekend canoeing. When we were packing up the last morning, me and the friend I was sharing a canoe with let a lot of our things (especially shoes and such) lie on the bottom of the canoe instead of packing it in our bags, since we only had a few hours left and then we would be home. I made some comment about how many things we would have to fish for if we were to tip, but neither of us took it very seriously since our canoe was almost ridiculously sturdy, and no one had ever tipped with it before. Guess what happened an hour later.

This Troper was on an AvatarTheLastAirbender fan-site, playing a game where you take a quote and replace one or more words with "pants." One poster put up "Pants are:originally "Time is" an Illusion. And So is death." The Day Of Black Sun part 1: That same character makes a Cameo again. Someone comments that he's going to war without pants. Guess what he says.

This troper's dad wanted to name her Iben, a Danish name which basically translates to Ebony. He also wanted to give her the equally Danish surname Vestergaard, wich in certain dialects sounds like WAYstergaard. This troper is very happy that her mum insisted on another name. She wouldn't like being called Ebony Way her entire life. That would be very hilarious(or not so much for this troper)in hindsight.

This guy once was reading a middle-of-the-road ''{{Naruto}}'' fanfic back in, say, '06, that posited that Itachi wasn't evil, he was just doing what he was told for the good of the village (the plot had Naruto and Sakura discovering some old, abandoned ninja info scrolls or somesuch). I had a light chuckle thinking about the whole DracoInLeatherPants thing. Of course, we all know what happened later on in the series...

Years ago, this troper drew some little comics with her brother. One of the heroes her brother designed, "The Fanboy" was a StarWars fan with a prop lightsaber that had been turned into a real lightsaber by a MassSuperEmpoweringEvent. She just discovered FakeNewsRumble, where this is more or less what happens to Eric.

This troper is a programmer. Recently he got into ''{{Vocaloid}}'', and developed a huge boy-crush on one particular male Vocaloid. Now he can't look at the C function ''strlen()'', or worse, the Python function ''len()'', with a straight face.

A few years ago, I overheard a conversation regarding the ongoing ConsoleWars. What I heard was that while Microsoft and Sony have hardware sales to fall back on, Nintendo doesn't. In other words, if Microsoft and Sony take a few hits in the video game market, they can use the revenue of their other products (such as [=PCs=] and Home Theatre Systems) to bounce back. But if Nintendo isn't careful, one strong hit is all it would take to effectively shut down the company. Then, come 2010, Nintendo completely ''shatters'' everyone's expectations. Like this. ...Yeah, I don't think I'll hear any conversations like that anytime soon.

This Troper's mom used to mistakenly refer to FamilyGuy as "Family Man", which only makes the ridiculous Youtube parody all the more amusing.

Years ago, I was amusing myself by talking to a ChatBot online, giggling at the inane things it was saying. It mentioned someone named Alice, and when I asked who Alice was, it replied "Alice in Underland".

This Troper was in elementary school around the time in which the Yellow and Green {{Pokemon}} games came out, as well as everyone going mad over all the rumors regarding the supposed "hidden" parts of the game. Also, we were in that "Heeheehee, sex if funny!" stage, and a rumor had broken out that there existed a novelty "really inappropriate version" called "Pokemon White". (I'm not sure if these rumors were local to my school, or if this was common talk among Pokemon fans). Now considering the newest games in the series....I'm not sure whether to laugh or cringe.

This troper's friend joked that Elon Musk was Iron Man and photoshopped a picture of Musk walking in front of some water with the Iron Man suit as his reflection. Guess who got a cameo in Iron Man 2?

This troper always laughs hysterically at his old MSN chat logs, because before E3 2010 I must've said "There will NEVER be a new DonkeyKongCountry game!" about a million times. And now...

This troper was in an online RPG in which her character, the adopted daughter of Captain Nemo, inherited the ''Nautilus'' upon his death and became its captain. (ItMakesSenseInContext, really. This is the Cliffs Notes version of things.) The crew of the submersible took to addressing her as "Lady Captain"; troper just thought that was reasonably clever. Flash forward two years, when troper and her husband went on a cruise. Their ship was Royal Caribbean's ''Monarch of the Seas'', and its captain was/is the first female cruise ship captain in history. Guess what the crew called her?

This troper finds the plot of SpringAwakening funny because of a certain quote from MeanGirls... #QUOTE#"Don't have sex, because you will get pregnant and die! Don't have sex in the missionary position, don't have sex standing up, just don't do it, OK, promise? OK, now everybody take some rubbers."

In the seventh grade, I developed a crush on a classmate and realized I was bisexual. As I attend an all-girls Catholic school, I wangsted enormously about how all my friends would disown me and I would become a social pariah if found out. Since then, three of my friends have come out as bi, and the only one who was really homophobic has since gotten over it.

This troper one time had gone into a video game store to browse their selection. He finds, of all things, a Game}} Sim game that was called Oil Tycoon. He actually picked up the game, turning to one of the clerks that was nearby, and commented, "You know what, I wouldn't be surprised if they came out with a Sim-Mall game or something like that." Months later...

Same troper just remembered also that he gave his nephew a copy of Series}} Soul Calibur III and, on his own memory card, decided on creating exact replicas of all the heroes from Tales of Symphonia and put them into the Chronicles of the Sword game. Imagine this troper's shock when he buys Soul Calibur Legends and we discover that Lloyd is a playable character in the game.

Concerning WorldOfWarcraft, This Troper once supported the idea that furbolgs (bear-men) would be the new alliance race in The Burning Crusade (the new horde race was already confirmed to be blood elves). When the theory was shot down due to furbolgs having shaman (a horde-only class at the time), this troper proposed "Well, I suppose Blood Elves could be paladins [the alliance-only class] in that case". Guess which class the blood elves got.

At the ''Eclipse'' trailer I said "And hopefully the last!" cut to me finding out about Breaking Dawn

Back in 2003 this troper started grade 7 in an International School in ESL class, and the teacher will periodically gives out vocabularies for the class to study...one of the words is "idiot" (or stupid, not much difference really), listed at the 9th word, which the class used the "number 9" as euphemism for that word...guess what happens to Cirno in 2005!

This troper recently received the latest issue of Game Informer in the mail, and was overjoyed when she realized that it pictured {{Psychonauts}}'s Razputin on the front, and featured him in the '30 Characters Who Defined a Decade' article. The segment on Raz ended with: "Still, we keep hoping that we haven't seen the last of Raz." Roughly two days after receiving the issue, the announcement was made that 'Schafer is ready for Psychonauts 2'.

ThisTroper lost her virginity to her mustachioed boyfriend on November 18. Guess what she found out after? In honor of the month of Movember, November 18 was declared "Have Sex With A Guy With A Mustache Day."

My brother saying "We're all bi." Then I found a gay porn among his things while helping him move.

When watching ''KyleXY'', I said after the first episode, "This has more Biblical references than ''NeonGenesisEvangelion''." At the end of season 2, Jessi tries to kill herself so she doesn't help Madacorp. At the end of season 3, Kyle aborts a bunch of clones of himself. Minutes later...

My friend said Mormons are kinky people. I laughed him off, knowing (as everyone else does) that Mormons are sexually repressive polygamists. Cut to me reading ''TheCourtshipOfPrincessLeia'', ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'', and ''EndersGame'' and learning about AuthorAppeal.

''Excuse'' me? How about we not judge an entire religion because of two authors (out of dozens) and fundies?

This Tropette was reading a fanfic chapter from a boy's POV. The author of said fic then posted the same chapter, only from the girl's POV. I now reread it, and realize the girl's chapter had ''much'' better punctuation and spelling...

A very long time ago, a rather snobbish friend of mine was lecturing me about my love for video games. I believe one thing he said was, "What if, ten years from now, you play a video game and it's just some guy throwing punches over and over? Would that be fun?" Ten years later, it turned out I was right all along.

Another addition to WorldOfWarcraft, this troper imagined what the next expansion would be after Wrath of the Lich King sometime during the summer of 2008. Rather than the whole "Emerald Dream" and "Maelstrom" ideas being popularly thrown around, I instead went a different route. I imagined a dynamically changed Azeroth with new areas and a dramatically changed Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor. There were two new races, Goblin for the Horde race and "some other race that will come as a big surprise" for the Alliance race. Guess what was announced the next summer, released this year and what two races came as the new Horde and Alliance races? [[DontExplainTheJoke Cataclysm was announced last summer; released this month (December 2010) and Goblins and Worgen were the two new races. ]]

Watching a trailer before a movie with some friends, I noticed how it appeared to be a western but, judging by something on the protagonist's arm, it appeared to also be sci-fi. So I snarkily asked my friend, "So what, it's Cowboys and Aliens?" And then cue the title.

This troper had created the protagonist of her CartoonCrossover series quite a few years ago, and had chose her name from a baby name book: Dedra. A couple years later, my older sister read some notes over my shoulder, and told me that my brother-in-law's brother's wife was named Dedra (spelled Dedrea, but still). As far as I can tell, that's a pretty rare name, what are the odds?

Way back in 2007, I made an article on Uncyclopedia about the "Ninjazi", claiming among other things that he was an unlockable character in Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory by "dumping Pepsi on your keyboard". Three years later, I (accidentally) did just that while playing ''KillingFloor''. The keyboard isn't doing too well nowadays.

Ever since middle school, one of my friends had been attempting to get me to watch Series/DoctorWho, to no avail (primarily due to my fear of ArchivePanic, since for a while I had been convinced that I would never understand any show unless I started at the VERY beginning). Just a few months ago, on suggestion from another (online) friend, I began watching the 2005 revival series, and in no time flat became a rather obsessive Whovian. What can I say, I came for DavidTennant, and stayed for all of the general awesomeness. On Halloween, a few weeks into watching the series (some time during Series 2, if I remember correctly), I unveiled my Tenth Doctor costume, product of my newfound obsessiveness, and my friend simultaneously celebrated my conversion to Series/DoctorWho and lamented that she hadn't been the one to convince me to watch it. My reply was "Well you should have told me he was a looker!" Fast forward a couple months to when I watched The End of Time, with the old lady who upon being introduced to the Doctor, said the same thing, almost word-for-word. I was in stitches, and informed my friend of this lovely little coincidence at the first possible opportunity, after of course reacting appropriately reacting to the TearJerker that was the rest of that finale.

This troper's mom used to tell her and her brother that shaking the controllers and jumping around would not do anything for our games. Fast forward about a decade later.

Also, her brother used to say touch screen technology was so advanced, that it would never be successfully handheld, and not for the regular consumer. And that mobil internet was an idea that would never emulate well. Funny... I'm using an iPod Touch to type this.

As a kid, I drew two of my characters at the time(girlfriend and boyfriend) in bed together(Not like ''that'', just... lying besides each other sleeping.) Apparently I got the memo that adults share a bed(like my mom and dad) but had yet to learn the reason for it... When thinking back on it, I find it pretty funny, thinking "...just what were they doing before that?"

When this troper was in second grade, she wrote a short story about an outgrown teddy bear complaining that his owner no longer liked him. Sound familiar?

As a kid, I thought a game where you make your own protagonist would be cool. Also, a game where you could get whatever item you wanted.

A few months ago, This Troper went to her school's homecoming dance, which was Las Vegas-themed. A few weeks after the dance, my parents and I took a weekend trip to Las Vegas.

I came across this news video. I instantly laughed because of the Hetalia episode where Austria plays the piano in the middle of the sea...

This Troper used to play AnimalCrossing. One of the favorite things he does is take the train. However, since he didn't have an extra memory card to go to the other town, it returned him to the menu. It was there that he would fiddle with the time, thus making the train able to travel time. A few years later...

I was reading ''AzumangaDaioh'', and in a strip, Osaka said something about "Panties? Guns? How are they related?" Oh, I think I know...

This troper was at a comedy club a day before Super Bowl XLV where one of the standups made a prediction joke that the Steelers will be mostly shut down by the Packers in the first half. But then in half time the quarterback Roethlisberger will rape a cheerleader and then be on fire in the second half. It turns out during the actual game, the Steelers offense ''was'' shut down for the most part in the first half with the Packers having a big lead in the first half. Then in the second half the Steelers made a comeback and managed to cut down the lead (though it's still not enough to win). Hmmm, I wonder...

Last year, ThisTroper's little sister was a bit of a fan of TheMonkees, apparently, because we heard her sing "I'm a Believer." We thought ''Yay, now she likes golden oldies!'' Then RingoStarr appeared on TheDailyShow (on her birthday, no less) and she wouldn't watch with us, and I told her that it was classic rock and that she liked classic rock. Fast forward to early 2011 when we are both big Beatlemaniacs.

Also, you ''do'' know how I'm making this totally awesome "BackyardSports meet TheBeatles" film, right? Well, around the time my sister liked singing "I'm a Believer", I saw an ad for Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks inspired me to do a film where they go to camp and enter a music contest. Angela was R&B/funk-pop, Tony was alternative-pop-metal, the Webber twins were bubblegum teen pop, etc. Well, I kept changing the songs they would sing, and one day, I stumbled across TheBeatles. I knew Tony would have liked them, so I changed them to Beatles songs ''twice''- ''AHardDaysNight'' and ''Come Together''. JohnLennon sang both of those songs, and Tony is sort of like him (snarky, hot bastard, JerkWithAHeartOfGold) but more like Paul (ControlFreak, InsufferableGenius, LargeHam.) Um...yeah.

This Troper was introducing his sister-in-law to the awesomeness that is {{Nightwish}} by playing her "Over The Hills and Far Away." The song (originally by Gary Moore) is about a man who is cheating with his best friend's wife and ends up going to prison for a robbery he didn't commit. He was in bed with her when the robbery was happening, but he isn't wiling to admit the affair publicly. Now it turns out that at the time I played her the song, SHE was cheating on my brother with a guy that was in prison! ...I know it's more "f*cked up" than "hilarious" but I wonder if she was thinking "{{OhCrap}} he's on to me!!!1!" when I played that song?

At {{Neopets}}, when creating a pet, you get two drop-down lists over aspects over your pet's personality (things like "likes: hunting for treasure, gathering food, ect") which... doesn't really do anything as far as I know. My Meerca's "likes" is "gathering food", and at the time I made her (7 years ago now), I had no idea I would try to make her get the Gourmet Food award.

Does anybody else remember the old page image for ThatOneLevel, back when it was still "Scrappy Level"? It was a screenshot from {{Psychonauts}} picturing Raz in the Meat Circus, and, apparently I thought it was worth screenshoting at the time. I just ran across that file, a moment ago, and cracked up when I read the caption: "Welcome to Hell. Enjoy your stay!" I didn't remember way back when, but the first thing that came to mind this time around was Raz's cheerful "See you in Hell!" from when he hit/mind blasted/set a squirrel/songbird/seagull on fire. As to that last train wreck of a sentence, it MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext. One of the many reasons I love that game.

This tropette knows someone who's great-great-something-grandma's name was {{Kesha}}.

With the "$"?

Happens so frequently to this troper that he thinks that he has the power of "foreshadowing" - the uncontrolled ability to do or think of things that will have a hilarious/surprising impact on a future event. For example, one day he decided to see a movie. Later, his friend (a movie-lover who also saw the same movie a day ago) called him to tell him about it. Troper proceeds to completely shock said friend with knowledge of a movie he "never saw".

A year or two before ''PokemonBlackAndWhite'' were announced, I was making up Fakémon for my made-up region. The Water-type starter Pokémon was based on an otter. Fast-forward to the Unova starters being revealed...

Growing up, this tropette was often called "Hermione", not because she was smart, but because she had bushy brown hair like Emma Watson's in the first Harry Potter movie. In college, said tropette was fed up with her hair and chopped it all off into a stylish pixie cut. Fast forward to a few months later when she logged onto mugglenet and found this...

Some friends and I were watching ''PokemonArceusAndTheJewelOfLife'' when we got to the first scene with Damos. Several people wondered if he was voiced by CamClarke. After a bit of research, we found out this was DanGreen's first movie appearance in a long time. The overall consensus: "DanGreen trying to sound like CamClarke". A few days afterward, I was reading up on ''TurtlesForever'', and found out who played the 80's version of Leonardo.

My name is Sachiko Kotobuki, I am 25 years old and, due to some problems in the romantic department, I am single. Now, look at this little applet for Android and you will realize that *I* am Hilarious In Hindsight now! I still can't believe someone could name a desperate 35 year old single woman after me!

On May 22, 2005, this troper wrote this message about overhyped Nintendo products. This is the final remark, translated into English: "''At most, I'm expecting a Gameboy Multimedia, a little larger than the current GBA SP, that, besides being compatible with every game from Classic Gameboy to DS, also allows the use of a flash card to listen to [=MP3s=] and watch DivX movies, with an integrated camera to snap pictures and shoot brief videos. That is, everything you can already do with a cell phone of the current generation''." Then, five years later, the DSi XL was released.

This troper's friend was struggling on the original ''NinjaGaiden''. I joked about an iPhone port of it, which pissed him off. Several months, one new phone, and one NES emulator for it later...

This troper just found out that Jacob Black has a sister named Rebecca.

This troper recently finished watching PuellaMagiMadokaMagica, and always thought Kyouko had an ungodly annoying voice. Then the video game AtelierAnnie fell into this troper's possession and the reaction was "Oh god, Annie's voice is adorable!" Then while reading through TheOtherWiki, page for the game the following thoughts occurred. "AiNonaka voices Annie? Why does that name sound familiar? Oh god.. don't tell me..." And sure enough, same voice actress as Kyouko.

This troper, for whatever reason, he can't remember how the subject came up, said that one of his double cousins (when a set of siblings from one family has children with a set of siblings from another family. in this case, my father's sister is married to my mother's brother) acted more like siblings than cousins because of how closely we were raised. About a week later, took a wiki walk and had a laugh when I came across these lines under the double cousins section of the cousin page on Wikipedia "Double first cousins share both sets of grandparents in common and have double the degree of consanguinity than ordinary first cousins. Genetically, they are as related as half-siblings."

and I just realized, another cousin (by the same set of parents) his kid calls me uncle. that's actually somewhat accurate, or at least as accurate genetically speaking as my actual niece calling me uncle, considering she is a half-sister's daughter

Last fall, this troper caught wind of ''{{Catherine}}''. A few months later, he started dating someone named Katherine.

I read a book where a character was referred to as being "over 9000 years old". Keep in mind that it was published a year or so before the meme. Then, one year later...

One for {{Bleach}} Fans here. This troper recalls a fanfic where in a certain chapter, Ichigo gained a new form that gives him Angelic Wings and Long Black Hair. After about a day it was published, there were about 7 reviews that basically amounted to "''OMFG Ichigo shouldn't have black hair, you suck!''", one week later, Ichigo gained The Final Getsuga Tensho in the Manga, A.K.A the form gives him ''Long Black Hair''.

This troper had a dream just a short while before his eighteenth birthday, about seeing a friend with an L figure at work. When he asked where said friend got it from, they said "Chinatown." Several months later, he started going to Chinatown frequently, which has many shops selling anime-themed merchandise.

This troper recalls quite a while back finding a video on Youtube (which has long since been removed) that mentioned a fanfiction someone wrote about a futuristic Nintendo system called the N3on the basic idea for it was seeing 3D without the need for 3D glasses, the video this troper saw showed an example of how to make the trick work, fast forward to 2010 and Nintendo announces their new handheld the Nintendo 3DS which can do 3D without the need of 3D glasses. I'm serious about this, its true.

This troper once posted in a random board about mistaking Testuya Nomura for Tetsuya Mizuguchi, and commenting on how she's prefer not to have zipper-laden gakuran. A few months later, she remembers {{Persona 4}}'s design of Izanagi... and at the same time, the CosplayFanArt made sense.

When this troper was applying to college, her personal statement made mention of something her grandfather had done as a graduate student, that he had flooded Jonas Salk's laboratory. After she got accepted to the college she mentioned this to, she learned that the school was attached to the Salk Institute and now she hopes to someday work at it.

When DanielBryan got released from the WWE shortly after the Nexus Invasion, I predicted in a YouTube video that he would return by the end of the summer. Less than 2 months later at SummerSlam, Bryan returned as the 7th man of Team WWE against the Nexus.

Another one from this troper. I was making a mock box art about a SuperSmashBros game that released for the Nintendo3DS. At this year's E3 press conference Smash Bros for the 3DS was confirmed along with one for the Wii U.

A few years back me (around 14 years old at the time) and some friends were talking about how Christmas-themed adverts seem to start getting television airtime earlier every year. I remarked that by the time I hit my twenties they'd be showing Christmas ads in May. Jump forward to May 2011, one year before my 20th birthday, and I saw a TV ad for a Christmas catalogue. IKnewIt!

Same troper here, when I was around 7 I wrote a series of rather dreadful short stories. The two main protagonists of the series were named Billy and Mandy. This was about a year before the cartoon debuted.

When I was a little girl I used to create elaborate stories and adventures with my plastic animals, including third generation My Little Pony figurines. We were in the third grade at the time, so when spring came our teacher had us wrtie a silly little poem about the joys of spring. Mine was probably the best, with a six-stanza ode to the end of hibernation, the growth of flowers and plants, the return of song birds and reappearence of the sun. When I got home I decided to spruce up said poem and have a choir of pony dolls celibrating the arrival of Spring as a way to kill time before dinner while outside on the first good day of the year in a very primative six-part harmony. Granted I didn't have a Pinkie pie or a Twilight Twinkle doll at the time, but you get where I'm going with this. Winter wrap up, winter wrap uuuup~.

A while back, a bunch of people I know wrote, performed, and released a FilkSong for our fandom based on an existing song. Months later, someone else dug up another parody of the same song...done by ''the creator'', years before the fandom existed!

Two with this troper. First in 6th grade he was sitting next to a girl, that was his friend. One kid asked if we went out and we both told him we weren't. Fast forward to this troper's freshman year in highschool and guess who he went out with for 5 months. Second, after this troper's mom learned he had a girlfriend, she mistook one of his friends for her, a few weeks later she would turn out to be right.
