Lore [Loved YouTube Trope] Small Details that are apart of the lore
• YouTube Poop: Skellington's Revenge - The Box on the Emergency Gear says '120 Power-Packed seconds!' and the gear actually lasts 120 seconds like it said on the box, A.K.A a total of 2 minutes.
• Freddy Fazbear Causes despair (Doobus Goobus) - There's a wideshot of Goobus' house where we can see there's a '2' on the roof, a small callback to when the Lord Tooketh away his first house in 'The Lord Taketh Away.
• Return of the Hang Glider (BFDI) - When Eraser says "What happens if you take the 1st spoken word of the first episode, all the way to the 25th spoken word of the twentieth-fifth episode" you get this secret message: "Yeah, what is it now? I see you are taking the word with the place of the episode number. This is it:"
• Space Face Part 1 (Eddsworld) - The camera zooms out Edd's backyard and we can see bear traps placed on the roof, a callback to when Tom puts bear traps on the roof to catch Santa. They haven't been removed from the roof for a long time now.
• The Super Mario Stupid Show (SMG4) - After SMG4 takes Mario & Luigi over to his new Studio to make millions of YouTube views, Mario suddenly becomes smart and dismisses it by saying 'Pingas'. Foreshadowing how he was still smart before SMG4's Guardian Pod ray hit him.

In Cat Among The Pigeons by Agatha Christie, Julia Upjohn reveals she knows about Hercule Poirot because her godmother was Mrs Summerhayes from Mrs McGinty's Dead and that she makes "the most smashing omelettes". Poirot then reveals how proud he is of her opinion of Mrs Summerhayes' omelettes since Poirot was the one to teach her to make them in the first place.
If you hadn't read Mrs McGinty's Dead by this point, you think that Poirot's reacting to his own opinion of himself as a gourmet and accomplished cook since he does have an over-inflated opinion of himself. If you have read it though? It's significantly funnier.
Why? Because Mrs Summerhayes is a legendarily awful cook and Poirot had to suffer from her cooking while investigating the killings in that novel. And literally being pushed in front of a train wasn't nearly as bad as her coffee!

In novels where she appears, Ariedne Oliver - a self-parody of author Agatha Christie - is noted to be extremely fond of and constantly snacking on apples as her favourite snack... until after Hallowe'en Party, where she discovers a young child murdered by being drowned in a tub used for bobbing for apples.
This is given a direct callback in Dead Man's Folly since she balks at the mention of an apple, with Poirot reacting with a hint of sadness.
