* Another game from the creator of ''Paranoia'' is ''TabletopGame/ViolenceTheRoleplayingGameOfEgregiousAndRepulsiveBloodshed'', a dark satire of hack-n-slash [=RPGs=] and violent video games. Although there are rules and skills and tables, the author brazenly admits that [[OnlyInItForTheMoney he's only writing the game for a quick buck]], and the majority of the rulebook consists of [[TakeThat potshots at violent players]] who see [=NPCs=] as walking treasure chests.

** Their more trademarkable counterparts the Orruks from ''TabletopGame/WarhammerAgeOfSigmar'' are somewhat less played for laughs, especially in the tie-in roleplaying game "Soulbound", but even so, this element is still there. In particular, the Bonesplitterz and the Gloomspite Gitz are outright called out as amusingly eccentric.

* The orcs and goblins in ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}} Fantasy''. These are creatures that live for killing things - goblins even commit suicide just to kill enemies. These are the most humorous in the setting. And [[XtremeKoolLetterz da Orkz]] in its sci-fi counterpart ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}''. These are creatures who can get anything to work by simply [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve believing it will work]], and with the Grots, the local flavour of the goblins, being the ultimate kind of ButtMonkey to the Orks in the setting - and not caring. Where any other army is based on a major civilization or a well-known historical army, the Orks are based on British [[FootBallHooligans soccer hooligans]], clearly cementing them as comic relief despite being a race that is literally incapable of thinking that others might want peace because they are a rogue LivingWeapon. The ''40K'' setting is so dark, grim, and cynical that it is almost taken to levels of self-parody, something many fanfiction writers embrace to a strong degree, and even some official book series, such as ''ComicBook/DeffSkwadron'' and the ''Literature/CiaphasCain'' ('''[[FakeUltimateHero HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!]]''') series.
