That one, I believe falls more under something other than Foreshadowing per se. Don't remember the exact term though, other than that it was a TvTropes term. TV Tropes? Yeah, I'm not familiar enough with TV-specific terminology. I'm looking at foreshadowing as a storytelling device that spans all forms of crafting a plot. If there's a term for ironic quips just a few minutes before a thing happens in a sitcom, I don't know it. The only TV terms I can think of are "jump the shark" and "hang a lantern." So if you find the term that's similar to foreshadowing and more applicable because it's TV, do share. :)
