The term has existed for a long long time and the concept behind the term even longer
If you wanna read more about the concept and see a nice list of examples in fiction over the years here’s a link to the TVTropes page on lampshading. Be warned though, TVTropes is a rabbit hole of learning about media tropes that can be like getting trapped in the gravity well of a star. Great adventures can be had, but your sleep schedule is likely to fall victim to it.
The birds will be chirping to the dawn and you’ll be wondering why you’re on a page about a show that you’ve never heard of learning the tropes it shares in common with works of fiction older than the country you live in.
10/10 - bring a warm drink, a soft blanket, and some cozy socks. It’s gonna be a wild ride.
