* In ''Series/UnbelievableKimmySchmidt'', the host of an interior design show is hiding his sexual orientation from the public, which is to say that he is a straight man who has cultivated a gay persona that has become integral to the show.

** In "[[Recap/SouthParkS7E7RedMansGreed Red Man's Greed]]", the Native Americans are {{Corrupt Corporate Executive}}s who invade South Park and set up casinos, with the intent to bleed them dry. They give the white people SARS via contaminated blankets and [[MagicalNativeAmerican the traditional white trash panaceas (Dayquil, Campbell's chicken noodle soup and Sprite) cures it]]. Stan goes to an old man in a trailer park, who sends him on a vision quest by huffing paint thinner in a paper bag.

* Peter [[FunnyAnimal Porker]] the ''ComicBook/SpiderHam'' was originally spider bitten by a radioactive pig, mutating him into one, rather than the other way around that you'd usually expect knowing Spider-Man's origin.

* Similarly, the starting strips of ''Webcomic/GhastlysGhastlyComic'' are about a Japanese woman with a strong tentacle fetish trying to entice a tentacle monster into raping her, while the latter would very much prefer cuddling.

*** Later in the same sketch, we see "The Baby Snatchers" - gangs of men dressed up as babies who kidnap adults.
---->'''Woman''': I just left my husband out here while I went in to do some shopping and I came back and he was gone. He was only forty-seven!

--->'''Patsy''': A group of people one might stereotypically assume would display one set of attributes, had in fact displayed the stereotypical attributes of another group of people entirely!

* The manual for ''VideoGame/KingdomOMagic'' mentions that "The Good, Old-fashioned Quest" is about how you have to rescue the dragon, steal the princess, and slay the treasure. (It is in fact a lie - there is no princess, and you deal with the dragon and the treasure in the traditional way, insofar as calling a mob hit on the dragon counts as "traditional".)

* The weekly murder mystery ''Series/{{Castle}}'' has the mystery-writer main character (played by Nathan Fillion) dealing with his party-girl cougar of a mother and his sage, sensible teenaged daughter, who also acts as his Watson. When the daughter jumps a turnstile at a subway one night because she's out of cash, she not only goes back the next day to pay, but she also demands that her father ground her. He's perfectly willing to let it slide, but she's insistent.

* In ''ComicBook/CaptainCarrotAndHisAmazingZooCrew'', one VillainOfTheWeek is a "wuzwolf" ([[IncrediblyLamePun he wuz a wolf, now he's not]]), a wolf who turns into a legendary monstrous creature know as a "human".

** In ''Literature/FeetOfClay'' and subsequent books, conservative dwarfs, who think all dwarfs should hide their gender, which means [[MaleIsDefault looking male by human standards]], are horrified by an "openly female" dwarf who wears a skirt. The result reads as a riff on conservative views of gender nonconformity, but with the dwarfs outraged by gender ''conformity''.

** In ''Literature/FeetOfClay'' and subsequent books, conservative dwarfs are horrified by an "openly female" dwarf who wears a skirt, which [[{{Applicability}} can be read as]] the dwarf equivalent of conservatives disapproving of women in trousers, or of cross-dressing.

** "[[Recap/SouthParkS17E2InformativeMurderPorn Informative Murder Porn]]" has the children acting like MoralGuardians who blame cable TV (specifically the I.D. channel) for corrupting their parents. ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' was brought in as an attempted distraction (namely, the channel block has a Minecraft-centered question, which the parents figured out when a kid taught them Minecraft). This is very hilarious when one recalls the Season 1 episode, ''Death,'' when the parents targeted Terrance and Philip.

''"Yes - gangs of old ladies attacking defenseless, fit young men."''

* The ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "First Contact" (not to be confused with [[Film/StarTrekFirstContact the movie]]) has Riker on a reconnaissance mission to an industrial pre-warp world that goes wrong. The twist is, it's largely told from the perspective of the planet's natives, creating an alien-on-Earth storyline, only not on Earth and with an Earth human as the alien.

** [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E2RadioactiveMan "Radioactive Man"]] sees a Hollywood production team shooting in Springfield, getting exploited by local politicians for made up taxes, and being driven back to Hollywood where they can rely on others to get them through hard times.

** In "The Old Man and the Key", Grandpa is staying at the Simpsons' place and borrowing their car for dates, annoying Homer to the point where he grounds Grandpa, who storms up to his room and starts blasting big band music. Complete with LampshadeHanging:

** The ''Film/HighSchoolMusical'' parody episode is a reverse GenderNormativeParentPlot where a kid want to play basketball, which his flamboyant singer father disapproves of.
** In "Red Man's Greed", the Native Americans are {{Corrupt Corporate Executive}}s who invade South Park and set up casinos, with the intent to bleed them dry. They give the white people SARS via contaminated blankets and [[MagicalNativeAmerican the traditional white trash panaceas (Dayquil, Campbell's chicken noodle soup and Sprite) cures it]]. Stan goes to an old man in a trailer park, who sends him on a vision quest by huffing paint thinner in a paper bag.
** Cartman and Kenny are shipped off the an orphanage run by abusive [[TheFundamentalist fundamentalists]]. Except they're not Christian fundamentalists. They're ''agnostic'' fundamentalists.

** "Informative Murder Porn" has the children acting like MoralGuardians who blame cable TV (specifically the I.D. channel) for corrupting their parents. ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' was brought in as an attempted distraction (namely, the channel block has a Minecraft-centered question, which the parents figured out when a kid taught them Minecraft). This is very hilarious when one recalls the Season 1 episode, ''Death,'' when the parents targeted Terrance and Philip.
** In "Stunning and Brave", we have MoralGuardians being lampooned by having them portrayed as violent, drunken frat boys.

* In ''Literature/TheRestaurantAtTheEndOfTheUniverse'', there is a poem about five Golgafrincham princes who, amongst other things, "rescue beautiful monsters from ravening princesses".

** In 2004, US politician James [=McGreevey=] came out as gay and stepped down from his elected position. This was reported by The Onion as [[https://www.theonion.com/homosexual-tearfully-admits-to-being-governor-of-new-je-1819587630 Homosexual Tearfully Admits to Being Governor of New Jersey]].

** The sketch "Northern Playwright" featuring a father behaving like a stereotypical worker, his no less stereotypical {{yuppie}} son, and the predictable tension between them. Except it turns out that the father is a famous playwright and the son is a coal miner. [[https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2q1ojy Just watch it here.]]

-->'''Christopher Titus:''' My mom would be up here, and you'd be reading about me as her crack-addicted son. A man can dream, can't he?

* The film ''Film/TheWrongMan'' had a subplot of a greedy, ruthless farmer threatening the meek, struggling-to-get-by banker with closing his business down.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAristocats'': Roquefort the mouse runs after Scat Cat and his fellow stray cats as he leads them to help save Duchess and the kittens. A man drinking wine as a café who sees the mouse chasing a bunch of cats [[NoMoreForMe pours out the rest of his bottle]] in response.

** One scene in ''Literature/MovingPictures'' parodies ''Film/KingKong1933''; a {{giant woman}}[[note]]actually a [[spoiler:Dungeon Dimensions creature in disguise]][[/note]] holds a normal-sized ape (the Librarian) in one hand while [[KingKongClimb climbing a tall building]].

** A story centred around an athlete who garnered massive controversy and criticism by doing well despite no pharmaceutical or bionic enhancements.
