We might as well put the entirety ofGleehere .
1.This scene fromThe Cosby Showis super disturbing to watch now, consideringBill Cosbywasfoundguilty of sexual assault after multiple women claimed he slipped them pills and then took advantage of them. One claimed Cosby called the pills “friends to help you relax.”
2.ThescenefromThat ’70s Showwhere Hyde acts out what’s essentially a rape scene between a record sleeve and a record is also super disturbing in light of actor Danny Masterson’srape conviction.
3.And thescenewhere Hyde says he sees himself in prison in five years feels strangely prophetic, considering Masterson is now in prison.
4.Similarly, thisscenefromGleeis eerie considering that Mark Salling ended up being sentenced to 48–84 months in jail after he was arrested on child sexual abuse image possession charges, and then died by suicide.
5.There are actually a ton ofscenesinvolving Mark’s character Puck that are super creepy to look back on, including this one where child sexual abuse images and their illegality are actually mentioned.
6.There’s thissuper creepy commenthis character makes in one scene…
7….Along withthis onein another scene…
8….And finally,this scenewhere an underage student asks his character to a Sadie Hawkins dance after he’s graduated high school.
9.ThisscenefromiCarlyis kind of sad to watch, considering thatFriendsstarMatthew Perrydiedin his hot tub, with drowning being a contributing factor to his death.
10.It’s a little weird to seeChris Brownteaching anyone about women’s rights (as his character does in this episode ofThe O.C.),consideringhis felony assault conviction after he severely beat his then-girlfriend Rihanna.
11.InHeathers, two of the actors later had untimely deaths that seemed predicted by their characters. Peter (Jeremy Applegate) prays he won’t kill himself — the actor laterdied by suicide. Kim Walker — who had the iconic line, “Did you have a brain tumor for breakfast?” — died of abrain tumor.
12.This line Matt Lauer says onUnbreakable Kimmy Schmidtis ironicconsideringhis sexual misconduct accusations — and hissexist interviewswith women.
13.Does anyone rememberthis scenefromSeinfeldwhere Elaine tries to convince her new boyfriend, who shares a name with a serial killer, to change his name? She suggests something more innocuous, like O.J., in reference to O.J. Simpson. The episode aired just months before Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were murdered. Simpson would later go to trial for the murders, though he was acquitted.
14.ThisscenefromParks and Recreationwhere Louis C.K.’s character calls another character a pervert is weird to see now, considering C.K. admitted to exposing himself to women and masturbating in front of them.
15.As is thislinefromBananas, where Woody Allen mentions studying child molestation. Allen’s stepdaughter, Dylan Farrow, haslong accusedWoody of molesting her as a child, which Allen has denied.
16.Actually, a lot of Woody Allen movies are concerning, especiallyManhattan, where his character dates a 17-year-old and it’s established that they’re having sex.
18.This scene from theJackass Backyard BBQSpecialis also sad and prophetic considering Ryan Dunndiedin a car crash where he was driving, also killing his passenger.
19.In a lighter example,this lineBen Affleck says inJersey Girlis funny considering he would later play Batman.
20.ThislinefromiCarlyis definitely ironic considering wheniCarlywas rebooted, it was made without Sam.
21.ThisscenefromTerrifier 2is kind of funny to see considering Jeffrey Dahmer became a huge Halloween costume the very same year this movie was released, after the Netflix series on Dahmer starring Evan Peters blew up.
22.Thisscene fromThe Good Placefeels eerie in light of the COVID pandemic that would occur two years later…which was a flu-like virus thatpotentially camefrom bats.
23.Thisline fromScreamfeels almost like dark sarcasm now, considering all the school shootings in America.
24.And this line fromLaw & Ordersimilarly didn’t age well.
25.ThisscenefromFriends— where Chandler jokes about bringing a bomb on a plane and then gets detained by the TSA — aged poorly before it was even released. They actually had to completely replace the scenes in the wake of 9/11, which occurred after the episode had been filmed but before it aired.
26.Mel Gibson once guest-starred onThe Simpsons,and his characterjokedthat he was too lovable and that cops refused to give him tickets. Notably, Gibson wouldsuffera significant fall from grace after he went on an antisemitic rant while being arrested for a DUI.
27.And finally, we’ll end on a positive one, also fromThe Simpsons:whenthe show mocked John Travolta by making him a bartender at a ’70s bar just weeks beforePulp Fictionflung Travolta straight back into the A-list.
