From Redditoru/vJ3801:
Yes, the foreshadowing is there. I laughed about it. I never thought it would be the ending. Barney did exactly what he said (lol).

From Redditoru/trampus1:
Season 8, episode 2, "The Soul Mate" foreshadows the finale.
I watched this episode last night. In the opening bit, George and Jerry talk in a cab. This exchange follows talk about using a big toe nail as a shank.
George said, "I love prison."
Jerry stated, "It is fascinating."
George said, "Well, maybe some day."

From RedditorAuditorOfTheNight:
Dr. Kelso wore Dr. Cox's lab coat by mistake (season 5, episode 4 - My Jiggly Ball).
This was done on purpose. It foreshadows Perry taking his job eventually.

From Redditoru/gyspyqueen77:
Hyde and Jackie foreshadowing appears in the season 4 musical episode.
I rewatched the show a hundred times. I finished the season 4 musical episode. At the end, Hyde and Jackie dance with Kelso right next to them! This is weird because, at the time this aired,Jackie and Kelso are still dating. After dancing close to Hyde, she backs up and dances with Kelso for two seconds. Is this foreshadowing of Jackie and Hyde being together?
33 - 9

Ted was going to make a big mistake (meeting/falling in love with Stella). Then, he lived with the result of falling for her (her leaving the altar).

SeinfeldHad brilliant writers. In this scene from "The Bubble Boy" (season 4, ep. 7), Elaine foreshadows what happens by the episode's end.
20 - 13

From Redditoru/rush2sk8:
I rewatch older episodes. In Season 5, Episode 9, Dylan says, "I hope to see you in the hospital sometime" after discussing attending nursing school. Was this foreshadowing Hayley's pregnancy?

From Redditoredisleado:
When Monica bangs Ben's head on the post in their apartment, he mutters, "Monica Bang," repeatedly. My girlfriend pointed out that it sounds close to "Monica Bing" and is likely foreshadowing.
