* CrisisOfFaith: ''Series/AreYouSmarterThanAFifthGrader'' clone where atheists attempt to answer ridiculously easy questions about religion. The "good" losers (who got all the questions right) are given a copy of a Richard Dawkins book, the "bad" losers (those who either deliberately or actually got most or all of the questions wrong) are forced to convert (or if they just de-converted, forced to ''re''-convert). Some fans consider the "bad" losers being forced to convert to be the best part of the show. Controversial with both sides of the argument the show shines a light on, and the leader of a well-known atheist group was forced to step down after he appeared on the show. Appears on either the Game Show Network or a religious TV channel ([=TBN=], Daystar, [=EWTN=], etc.)

* [[ArtisticLicenseBiology You Fail Biology Forever]]: ''Series/AreYouSmarterThanAFifthGrader'' clone with [=psuedoscience=] supporters attempting to answer the most ridiculously easy questions on biology. Side perk: Cheapest prize indemnity insurance ever. Counter-programmed against CrisisOfFaith.

** DarkerAndEdgier ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'' copycat that had the gateway to the monsters' world [[ItCameFromTheFridge changed to refrigerators]] because of SerialNumbersFiledOff legalese.

*** [[https://dreamfiction.fandom.com/wiki/Mole_Miner Now adapted into a fanon show in the Dream Fiction Wiki]]

** A ''Anime/RanmaOneHalf'' copycat aiming to cater to the "alternative lifestyle" crowd more. The main character is not only bisexual but also more okay with having become genderfluid.

* GenreSavvy: Unpopular Website/YouTube series where the [[CausticCritic smug, obnoxious host]] inserts himself into the protagonist's position in popular movies, TV shows, anime and videogames, and explains how he would effortlessly solve every problem they face through MediumAwareness, LoopholeAbuse and TakingAThirdOption. After some initial success, presently languishes at only a couple of thousand views per episode.

* GhibliHills: Fan-made animated sitcom with characters from Creator/HayaoMiyazaki films living as neighbors in the suburbs. Pulled off Website/{{YouTube}} after the second episode.

** Alternatively, a documentary on the 2019 Website/YouTube [=COPPA=] kerfuffle and how some content creators quit the site in protest of being forced to mark their content as either "for kids" or "not for kids"

* StockFootage: A show about guys who film their crazy stunts for Website/YouTube, as a "guide" for others.

** YouAreGrounded: An episode where the cast sings songs from old Canadian cartoons such as ''WesternAnimation/ToadPatrol'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheCountryMouseAndCityMouseAdventures'', ending with them singing the ''WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}'' theme (and getting grounded by [[Website/GoAnimate GoAnimate!Boris]] as a result, hence the title). Creator/HollyGauthierFrankel makes a guest appearance as WesternAnimation/SagwaTheChineseSiameseCat. Meanwhile, one of the students (Andy X.Z.Z.Z.Z.Z.Z.Z.; played by Paul Scheer) finds out he has Syphilis, which Mr. Clarkson declares "the best of the sexually transmitted diseases" (a CallBack to a episode of Jeremy's old show ''Series/TopGearUK'').

* TotallyRadical: Reality show in which people with radical political and religious views (the leader of an AnimalWrongsGroup, a far-left NewAgeRetroHippie, a gun-loving Libertarian CrazySurvivalist, a StrawFeminist, an Al-Qaeda terrorist, a HardOnSoftScience skeptic, a pro-Palestinian activist, a Zionist, a ConspiracyTheorist, a conservative fundamentalist Christian preacher, a liberal "Jesus freak" Christian hippie, an anti-globalization activist, an anti-vaxxer, a [=psuedoscience=]-promoting quack doctor, a fat shaming anti-obesity activist, a Creator/{{Banksy}}-esque culture jamming artist, a EcoTerrorist, Creator/RichardDawkins, and [[ComicBook/ChickTracts Jack Chick]]) are made to share a house and hold nightly roundtable debates on current issues. Cancelled after Jack Chick's death but later {{Uncancelled}} with Li Hongzhi in his place.

* AliensStealCable: Aliens do a mixture of [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 [=MST3K=]]]-riffing and flat out {{Gag Dub}}s of horrible, flash in the pan cable shows. ''Series/{{Manimal}}'' features as the sole [[PunyEarthlings Earthling]] cultural representative.

* DarkerAndEdgier: A [=MST3K=] type show, spun off JustForFun/RecycledInSpace. Basic premises to crappy tv shows turned into FilmNoir dramas.

** ''Series/{{MST3K}}'' rip-off. The central plot is that the Joel/Mike/Jonah rip-off is a ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}''-level apathetic jerk and a lot of his jokes revolve around how he doesn't cares about the dumb people on the screen (and everybody else. The Mads are trying to literally torture kindness into him).

** A [=MST3K=] style show where basic premises to bad TV shows are turned into sci-fis. Sci-fi's are turned into fantasies.

* GainaxEnding: A [[WesternAnimation western-animated]] adventure show about a [[PluckyGirl optimistic young girl]] with [[MindOverMatter psychokinesis]] and her pet lizard-bird, who is on a journey to stop the intergalactic MadScientist from destroying her home world, Gainax. Is an AffectionateParody of the shonen fighting genre which is, fitting enough, filled with [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs weird imagery and nonsensical characters]]. Produced by [[WesternAnimation/MegasXLR George Krstic]] and [[WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}} C.H. Greenblatt]].

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: A documentary on Creator/TerryPratchett.
