* ''SamAndFuzzy'' had [[http://samandfuzzy.com/301 DJ Positive]].

and is extremely dismayed when his owner Jon picks up a radio job.

* Garfield from ''GarfieldAndFriends'' despises radio deejays and is extremely dismayed when his owner Jon picks up a radio job.

* There is an SNL skit with Ben Affleck and Jimmy Fallon where they play two dumbass dj's on radio channel Z105, old college rivals battling it out with their impressions: TuSpock ("Live large and prosper, Biotch"), Sherlock Homo ("Elementary, my queer Watson"), Man in the Can, Man in the Box, Sanjay, Rajneesh, the Gay Three Stooges, and of course, Andrea with the weather....And we're baaaack!

* There's rather a lot of DJs in some of the venues on SecondLife (at least outside the really professional, first-tier places like Dance Island) that Will. Not. Shut. Up. Some can pull this off; others, not so much.

* ''LoadingReadyRun'' once did a sketch about a pair of shock jock DJs doing a really dreadful morning show, with phone pranks failing, awful music and everything going wrong. Their boss comes in and announces he is the Devil and that they are in an IronicHell. Only he's just yanking their chain and it's just a bad morning. [[supersecretspoiler: Only it ''is'' hell.]]

* On an episode of ''TheSimpsons'', two idiot [=DJs=] end up owing Bart Simpson an elephant or risk losing their job to a machine, which comes pre-programmed with moronic banter. The writers admit on a DVD commentary that they think Radio DJing is the lowest rung on the entertainment ladder, and attracts the worst performers.

* The two DJ's in ''DeadAir'' start out like this, until a zombie apocalypse gets going outside their studio. They drop the dumbass, insulting schtick once they realize that something really nasty is actually going on.

* Brian sells out his boring middlebrow radio show ''The Lunch Hour'' and becomes one of these with Stewie (nicknamed "Dingo and the Baby") in an episode of ''FamilyGuy''. That episode also had deejays "Weenie and the Butt", whose show [[Main/OverlyLongGag mercilessly abused prerecorded sound bites]].

** "Bubba the Love Sponge" is the MostTriumphantExample.

* DJ Juanito from ''{{Tropico3}}''. The expansion pack even gives you an option to "[[MoralEventHorizon Shoot Juanito]]", doing so increase your Megalomania ("how much you act like a real dictator") score.

* There is an SNL skit with Ben Affleck and Jimmy Fallon where they play two dumbass dj's on radio channel Z105, old college rivals battling it out with their impressions: TuSpock ("Live large and prosper, Biotch"), Sherlock Homo ("Elementary, my queer Watson"), Man in the Can, Man in the Box, Sanjay, Rajneesh, the Gay Three Stooges, and of course, Andrea with the weather....And we're baaaack!

* ''Shakes The Clown'' featured a brief bit with a pair of DJs who were actually ''named'' Loud and Obnoxious.

* How can we forget Ruby Rhod from The Fifth Element? After about thirty seconds of listening to him, this troper wanted to strangle him.

* In the ''ComediansOfComedy'' documentary, Patton Oswalt complains about his upcoming promotional stop at a radio show, predicting that the deejays are probably going to be blisteringly unfunny. When he gets to the radio studio in the next scene, a morning zoo crew has a whoopee cushion in the studio that they apparently use on-air.

Stereotypical Dumbass DJs hold a morning slot for a Top-40 station, and try [[LowestCommonDenominator (sometimes successfully)]] to amuse their audience with with ToiletHumor, RefugeInVulgarity, and [[LargeHam ridiculous overacting]].

The Dumbass DJ is, as the name suggests, a DJ who is a loud, obnoxious boor who makes moronic quips between songs. Expect everyone else to respond with open derision and hatred; if you're supposed to ''like'' them, they frequently become TheScrappy, TheWesley or (if very lucky) SoBadItsGood.

The lowest form of life on Earth, the Dumbass DJ is a loud, obnoxious spaz who only exists to make unfunny quips for obscenely long stretches at a time between actually playing songs you want to hear. If they show up, expect everyone else to respond with open derision and hatred.

They stereotypically hold a morning slot for a Top-40 station, and try [[LowestCommonDenominator (sometimes successfully)]] to compensate for his lack of a real personality, musical taste, or sense of humor with [[ToiletHumor fart jokes]], RefugeInVulgarity, and [[LargeHam ridiculous overacting.]]

Expect them to describe themselves as "wacky," "crazy," or "edgy," of them, insult the callers and act like tools toward the guests, and [[NoIndoorVoice scream half of their lines.]]

* A ''JudgeDredd'' comic centers around a DJ who keeps hearing voices in his head telling him that nobody likes him and he should kill himself, until finally he breaks down and does it. The coroner investigating his death explains that he was a dormant esper whose psychic powers were just surfacing, and the voices were what his listeners really thought of him. The coroner says the DJ didn't deserve to be hated that much...until he hears a recording of his radio show.

* To some ''{{Fallout}}'' fans, Three Dog is this.

* On an episode of ''TheSimpsons'', two idiot [=DJs=] end up owing Bart Simpson an elephant or risk losing their job to a machine, which comes pre-programmed with moronic banter.
