History LampshadeHanging / WebAnimation

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' loves its lampshades, many of the [[FirstPersonShooter FPS genre]] and ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' specifically, such as the following quote from Church while pinned down behind a rock by fire from a chaingun mounted on a Warthog: "Don't worry, that thing's got to run out of ammo sometime." [[spoiler:It never, ever does.]]

** In Season 8, Episode 10, the episode where everyone is getting their ass kicked by Tex, poor Grif takes no fewer than ''seven'' shots to the nuts, and he has just one question for Tex:

-->'''Homestar:''' What awe you talking about, Stwong Bad? I weaw [[LongPants wong pants]].\\

-->'''Catalog:''' The Roomy-Vac is a real power[[IncrediblyLamePun HOUSE]]... get it? Oh, you don't? Well, because it's the size of a... Oh, you were kidding? You do get it? Pretty good, huh? No?\\

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'', since desk-job employees such as Pam and Cheryl aren't qualified for missions (especially Cheryl), the inclusion of them for comedy is generally justified as how they just stow away. But since it has happened at least 4 times during the series (first on an airship, second on a train to Canada, third on a space mission, and fourth a plane to South America), in the episode "Drastic Voyage: Part 1", CIA agent Hawley decides to just include them in the first place and brief them too, with the halfhearted reason "they'll just somehow stow away anyway".

* A FinalFantasy parody lampshades what is a phoenix down, and during that time, there was no ingame description what it looks like.

--->'''Grif:''' ''What is your problem with my balls?!''

** This also means everyone is TheFaceless, which gets lampshaded a bit when it's revealed that not even the characters themselves know what each other look like--Church has no idea if Tucker is black or not, and [[spoiler:nobody figures out that Church is an AI, even though his original body was a robot body too. Not even Church himself, somehow!]]

[[spoiler:It never, ever does.]]

--> In Tim and Moby which is an educational flash animation, a teenager and his robot Moby answer questions from letters, and their situation always relates to the letter. In one episode, tim comments on how weird it is that the letters always seem to reflect his situation.

-->(After [[FinalFantasyXI Zidane]] is KO'ed by Diabolos)
-->[[FinalFantasyVIII Squall:]] "Quick! we need a Phoenix Down!"
-->[[FinalFantasyVII Cloud:]] "Nobody even knows what is a Phoenix Down actually is!"
** Another sect of the parody shades on [[FinalFantasyVII FF7]]'s Dialogue.
-->[[FinalFantasyX Tidus:]] "Excuse me, Cloud, we aren't in 90. We can speak now"

-->"How is it that something dramatic happens every five minutes? Come on, I can´t be the only one who noticed that!"

* This happens a lot in ''WebOriginal/HomestarRunner''. For example, Strong Bad has referred to Homestar as a no-armed whitey with a speech impediment, and seems to be the only character aware that everyone (except him) is walking around with no pants on.
