A work set in the future will often take elements of the present day and refer to them as a way to show that it is our future and not a fictional place. One form this can take is for there to be a reference to a contemporary Long Runner, and show that it is still going strong. The chosen long runner is usually one that is well known for having several Numbered Sequels, which means all you need do is bump the number up by a few dozen. Usually a throwaway gag, or incidental background detail for the eagle eyed. But as nothing dates quite as fast as science fiction, the reference might pass a later audience by altogether. This trope was popularised in The '80s, and the two most common film franchises joked about in the earliest examples were Rocky and Jaws, the former because it had already produced an unusually large number of Numbered Sequels, and the latter because it was often regarded as a Cash-Cow Franchise remaking the same film over and over again, so conceivably they could carry on doing it forever. Nowadays, the most frequent targets seem to be the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Star Wars. Distinct from Oddly Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo, which is where the work itself has a title which plays with the Numbered Sequels trope. Compare Sequel Snark. |

Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony has a rather meta example when in the final trial, Tsumugi reveals that Danganronpa V3 was the fifty-third season of the Danganronpa series, mentioning other humorous titles such as Final Danganronpa 5: Monokuma Returns and Anniversary Danganronpa 10: Birth of Despair. | |

Decline of Video Gaming did this with about everything. Though a real Devil May Cry 4 has come out since the first video was made (along with a fifth DMC about 11 years after that), the same fortunately does not apply to Metal Gear Solid 7: Sons of Daughters of Mothers of Best Friends of Cousins of Dogs of Fathers of Liberty or a Final Fantasy title with an endless jumble of Roman numerals. | |

22 Jump Street ends by suggesting this is going to happen to itself, depicting fake trailers and posters for over twenty sequels getting churned out using increasingly labored twists to keep the franchise relevant, such as the characters going to space or Jonah Hill getting Other Darrined with Seth Rogen. | |

The Simpsons: "Itchy And Scratchy: The Movie" brought us Star Trek XII: So Very Tired a couple years before Star Trek: Generations was released, which was the seventh in the franchise. But that movie featured the casts of both the original Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation, signaling that the franchise was moving in a radically different direction. The joke presumes that they were just going to continue releasing Star Trek sequels with the actors from the original 1966 series (it should be noted that they did revert to the original characters by the 11th movie, with one of the original actors in it and the actual twelfth.) A Rocky joke in "Lemon of Troy" (though another Rocky film would come true, but it would just be called Rocky Balboa, and even if it did have a number next to it, it would be the sixth, not the seventh): Don Hertzfeldt's couch gag from "Clown in the Dumps" posits a radically-altered far-future "Sampsans", whose 164,775.7th "epasode" airs Septembar 36.4 in the year 10,535. Also in "A Star Is Burns", when Jay Sherman makes an appearance previewing aging Charles Bronson in Death Wish IX. In "This Little Wiggy", we see that the Wiggums were watching The Return Of The Pink Panther Returns. In "Homer To The Max", one of the shows seen in the mid-season line-up is All in the Family 1999. |

Played with in the seventh season of Parks and Recreation: because it is set just two years after the time its made, the sequels mentioned are ridiculous, but not because of the high number. Instead, they're sequels to films no one wants even one sequel to (Hitch 2: Son of a Hitch, starring Jaden Smith) or have other bizarre details (a reboot of The Bourne Series starring Kevin James). | |

Doctor Who Expanded Universe: The spin-off novel Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Glass Prison, published a year before Buffy the Vampire Slayer concluded its seven-season run in 2003, established that the show would be in its 792nd season by the year 2600. The 2003 novel The Last Resort, following the release of the fifth numbered Star Wars film, has the Eighth Doctor's companion Fitz watching "all nine" Star Wars films in the 2040s. Then in the 2007 novel Forever Autumn, strongly hints that George Lucas, who was apparently influenced telepathically by Jar Jar Binks, oversaw the completion of all of them, commenting that he was "way off the mark" by Episode IX; at that point in real life Lucas had pretty much ruled out doing a third trilogy, then he sold the franchise to Disney. Ultimately, the saga of nine films was concluded in 2019, with a few other films set in the Star Wars universe too. The 2005 novel The Gallifrey Chronicles mentions the Doctor's TARDIS containing "all 10" Harry Potter novels. The 2007 novel Peacemaker has the Tenth Doctor offer to show Martha Jones Pirates of the Caribbean VI. The novel was published following the release of the third film. |

In Real Steel, there is a promo for the Xbox 720, as it was probably supposed to be the next Xbox after the Xbox 360, it ended up being an underestimate if anything: the movie is set in 2020 but the Xbox One came out in Fall 2013, with its successor the Xbox Series X being announced in late 2019. | |

Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man at one point shows a billboard in the background advertising Die Hardest V, which is a bit of an odd choice as the film came out in 1991 when there had been only two Die Hard films made so far, and it takes place in 1996 which is really overestimating the rate of churning out sequels. Good job at predicting it would turn into a long-running franchise, though! | |

"Ridiculous" isn't quite the word here given the low number and the actual franchise's reach, but one story of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers mentions an old (mid-21st century) film: Rocky VIII: The Clone Factor! Another Star Trek Expanded Universe novel had Worf watching Rambo 4 about fifteen years before the movie actually came out. Despite this, Worf's description of the overall story (The villains are obvious, the hero never speaks, everybody dies) is fairly accurate. In the same book, another film, titled Missing Link III, is also mentioned. So far there is only one of them. |

DC One Million: The miniseries is set in the 853rd Century, on the date that Action Comics #1000000 (their oldest property) would be published. Despite being the source of the title of the series, this fact never comes up in the story line. What makes this case unique is that it actually is sold to the public in real life. | |

A Dead Ringers sketch of a deleted scene from Terminator 2 involves several Arnold Schwarzeneggers appearing from the future to tell Arnold to stop doing Terminator sequels (and Kindergarten Cop). Before Sarah Connor kills Arnold to avoid these sequels they're up to Terminator 23, then another Arnold appears and reveals there are no more Terminator sequels, but there is now a Kindergarten Cop 14. | |

Mocked to hell and back in Five Nights at Freddy's World, by the creator of the games himself no less; one of the minigames introduced in Update 2 is FNAF 57: Freddy in Space (itself based off an April Fool's joke on Scott's webpage), a side-scrolling shooter when the antagonist is Scott Cawthon's head himself, listing off a number of ridiculous sequels and spin-offs (including FNAF 61: Freddy vs Bonnie, said to be the start of the Freddy Cinematic Universe). Considering FNAF has done spectacularly well for an indie franchise made by one guy, note nearly 20 games (counting spin-offs), a film, a trilogy of novels and two children's anthologies, and a lot of merchandise and fan games; Freddy in Space itself got two sequels of its own it is almost certainly Self-Deprecation. | |

In the second season of The Good Place, when Michael and the four humans sneak into The Bad Place, the train station has a large poster advertising: "Pirates of the Caribbean 6: The Haunted Crow’s Nest or Whatever, Who Gives a Crap?" Then at the bottom it says, "Playing in every theatre, everywhere, forever." Series creator Mike Schur explained "the No. 1 reason I like it is that the implication is that that's where those movies are made, and then they’re exported up here. That's where they come from; they’re made in hell." | |

Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers, with its Time Travel theme, labelled its various time periods using sequel numbers. The post-apocalyptic future into which Roger was initially thrown is identified as Space Quest XII; the galactic mall in the Space Quest X period also tosses a reference to King's Quest XXXXVIII: The Quest For More Disk Space (back in the days before CD-ROM drives), which clocks in at a whole 12 gigabytesnote To put that in context, SQ4 came out at a time when hard drives, if you splurged and got the biggest one available, might have a full gigabyte of space, and you would be hard-pressed to use all of it! It's also stated to be by Roberta Williams III. The Xenon Supercomputer has King's Quest XLIII installed, taking up approximately 842 Petabytes. | |

A Studio C skit deals with Disney executives in the year 2132 celebrating the successful release of their 10,000th Star Wars film: Don Solo: The epic story of Han's seventh cousin twice removed. It further suggests that every individual stormtrooper had had a movie made about him even though every stormtroopers backstory is just like every other, yet they somehow missed a left foot in the corner of a frame, so "we must create a SAGA around him, beginning with episode 4, then 5, then 2, then 9, then 6, then 1, 8, 3, and finally 7". | |

Back to the Future Part II had a holographic advertisement for Jaws 19, directed by Max Spielberg (Steven's son, who was four years old when BTTF2 came out), with the tagline: "This time it's really, REALLY personal." All Marty has to say is, "The shark still looks fake." When the year the movie takes place in rolled around, Universal (maker of both BTTF and Jaws) did a Jaws 19 trailer. The sequels start with Self-Deprecation ("Jaw$ 5: It's all business"), explore the various ways a Franchise Zombie rolls (Space Shark, CyberShark, Brody's grandchildren, prequel/sequel to the prequel), and even go for specific Shout-Outs ("Ivan Sharkovsky", Jaws in New York, Fifty Scales of Gray). | |

Deus Ex: Human Revolution, set in 2027, has a poster for a Final Fantasy XXVII, a nod to Eidos' then-recent acquisition by Square Enix. Though the game was set 16 years in the future and released the same year at Final Fantasy XIV, so the number wasn't really "impossible" back then, just a lot faster than they'd been coming out. Note At the time in 2011 they averaged 3 games per console generation (said generations last approximately 5-6 years). However, massive delays, cost overruns, scope creep, and eventual project cancellations related to FFXV (which released in late 2016) slowed development of Final Fantasy mainline games to a crawl, and it would take another seven years until 2023 for FFXVI to release. At this rate, we would be very lucky to get a hypothetical FFXVII by 2027, a full ten games fewer than what Human Revolution over-confidently predicted | |

At the beginning of the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary simulcast, there was a short bit of the Eleventh Doctor showing up to introduce the show. He had just come from the show's 100th Anniversary, which brought together "all 57 Doctors." That means they've either got fifty years to go through another 45 Doctors, or else that Doctors from even farther ahead in the series' future popped back for a visit. | |

From the Level 4 series: In 2049, set in that year, the protagonists see an ad for Star Wars — the fourth trilogy. The book came out in 1999 when the prequel trilogy had just started, and this reference was meant to be seen as absurd. Nowadays, of course, it actually seems like a conservative guesstimate. | |

The Crossover game Gundam vs. Gundam's Excuse Plot says that by 2032, there will be a Vs. game for every single Gundam seriesnote or at least the ones that existed as of GvsG's release, with their titles flashing by quickly in the opening video, such as Londo Bell vs. Neo Zeon and OZ vs. White Fang. By the time of Gundam VS Gundam NEXT Plus, The intro actually names all the games which will assuredly never be made, including Federation vs. Zeon II, Federation vs. Zeon III, Federation vs. Delaz Fleet, AEUG vs. Neo-Zeon, the aforementioned Londo Bell vs. Neo-Zeon, Federation vs. Crossbone Vanguard, League Militaire vs. Zanscare, Shuffle Alliance vs. Devil Gundam Corps, the aforementioned OZ vs. White Fang, Space Revolutionary Army vs. New United Nations Earth, and Militia vs. Dianna Counter. | |

"Itchy And Scratchy: The Movie" brought us Star Trek XII: So Very Tired a couple years before Star Trek: Generations was released, which was the seventh in the franchise. But that movie featured the casts of both the original Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation, signaling that the franchise was moving in a radically different direction. The joke presumes that they were just going to continue releasing Star Trek sequels with the actors from the original 1966 series (it should be noted that they did revert to the original characters by the 11th movie, with one of the original actors in it and the actual twelfth.) | |

Lil B, "Video Game Master" mentions Tekken 8, which can't be too far off. (The arcade version of Tekken 7 was released in March 2015, with the console port released in 2017. The actual Tekken 8 wouldn't be released until 2024.) | |

One of the datapoints in Horizon Zero Dawn reveals that there were a total of sixteen installments in a series of graphic European horror films called Making a Millipede, a thinly-veiled allusion to The Human Centipede. The datapoint's author, the highbrow academic Samina Ebadji, expresses a measure of shock that they made so many of those films, and bluntly tells Travis Tate, the Misfit Lab Rat programmer who tried and failed to submit them for inclusion in the APOLLO archive alongside hundreds of other "acknowledged classics of extreme exploitation cinema," that one silver lining of the looming apocalypse is that future generations of humanity will never have to suffer through them. | |

In the English-translated EarthBound Beginnings, the line "Have you played Dragon Quest IV? I'm still having trouble with Dragon Quest III" was changed to reference Super Mario Bros. 7 and Super Mario Bros. 3. By the time this translation actually released, there had been many more than seven Super Mario Bros. games, but they'd stopped numbering sequels by this point. | |
