* ComicBook/UltimateMarvel: In ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'', Bolivar Trask demonstrates this when he asks if the stasis field in the lab he's in can contain [[spoiler: Venom]]. When he's told that it can, he says that he's seen ''King Kong'', and so will be leaving.

* ComicBook/AtomicRobo generally seems pretty well aware of how pulp tropes work after spending nearly a century with them, [[WrongGenreSavvy except when Dr. Dinosaur is involved and the rules shift over to comedy]]. In volume 3, he goes on a little rant about how computers that solve problems are unassuming little boxes and computers that ''are evil'' do things like vent steam and have all sorts of unnecessary adornments, and then when the builders of the computer he's complaining about manage to coax him into going ahead anyway it does indeed turn out to be evil and spits out the EldritchAbomination he's been running into since the [=1920s=].

* ''ComicBook/TheSimpsonsFuturamaCrossoverCrisis'':
** In the first miniseries, Fry is easily able to navigate Springfield because he played several ''Simpsons'' video games and [[SomedayThisWillComeInHandy has the layout of the town completely memorized]].
** Later, [[spoiler:Amy]] unexpectedly saves the day when she reveals that she [[spoiler:disguised herself as Smithers to keep an eye on Burns, having seen enough ''Simpsons'' episodes to know that Burns would be at the center of an evil plot at some point.]]
** When trying to get rid of [[spoiler:the giant Homer]], Homer suggests a nuke. Farnsworth reluctantly agrees to use an atomic bomb he was saving for the Fourth of July. However, Bart points out that nuclear weapons in monster movies only make things bigger, thus it would make their problem even worse.
