Unexpected……

A link or phrase posted when a reference is made to something unrelated in pop-culture but has relevance to the topic. There are many Subreddits devoted to documenting such references found in posts or comments where they wouldn’t normally be expected. These can be both accidental or deliberate.

Some notable examples are:

r/unexpectedMontyPython - because Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition[1]
r/unexpectedoffice - for the American remake of the British T.V. show “The Office”
r/UnexpectedSCP - Remember the mission: Secure. Contain. Protect.
r/UnexpectedCommunity - for sudden references to the T.V. show Community
r/SuddenlySimpsons - for when something is… suddenly Simpsons
r/UnexpectedlyWholesome - for when something ends up being unexpectedly wholesome
r/unexpectedfactorial - for posting when people are talking numbers, and type a number followed by an ! - making it a factorial
r/UnexpectedThugLife - for videos where thugs pop up out of nowhere

There are more; there are many, many more. Often when you least expect it.

*Because there is a Subreddit for everything:**

r/unexpected is for, well, everything that has an unexpected twist.
