* Pretty much ''everything'' in ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert3'' is played for laughs, starting with the absurdly blatant NationalStereotypes and working down from there: the Soviet Bloc as violent-minded but easily duped brutes, the NATO nations as selfish jerks with more money and technology than sense, and the Japanese as resurgent imperialists obsessed with honor and advancement over practicality or usefulness. On paper, this can come off as rather insensitive or even offensive, until the game starts and a PowerArmor-wearing [[Film/BatmanAndRobin Mr. Freeze knockoff]] gets into a MexicanStandoff with a LaserBlade-wielding [[Franchise/StarWars Imperial Stormtrooper knockoff]] and [[BearsAreBadNews a literal bear]], all while Creator/TimCurry, Creator/GeorgeTakei, and Creator/JKSimmons simultaneously compete to [[ChewingTheScenery consume the most set dressing during cutscenes]].

* BallroomBlitz is turned humorous in a SuperBowlSpecial ad [[https://youtu.be/E6JjyRhfjOE celebrating 100 years]] of the [[UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball National Football League]]. It starts with a stodgy, dignified celebration with tuxedo-wearing players listening to the commissioner's speech while a ''huge'' cake, topped with a golden football, is wheeled in. The cake comes just out of reach of Marshawn Lynch, a (now retired) running back known for his SweetTooth. Lynch makes a grab for the cake, causing the football to tumble to the floor. This sets off a Pavlovian reaction among the current and former players who immediately make a dive for it. A crazed and very messy pick up game of football follows with {{Shout Out}}s to everything from Tom Brady's collection of Super Bowl rings to Peyton Manning's tendency for injuries to an improbable catch known as the "Immaculate reception." Meanwhile the three old men from the 1972 Dolphins (the only undefeated team in Super Bowl history) are [[PassThePopcorn sipping champagne and laughing at the show]].

* ''Fanfic/TheMLPLoops'' plays more than one SuperpoweredEvilSide for humor. In canon, Luna went DrunkOnTheDarkSide, rebelled against her sister Celestia, and was banished to the moon for a thousand years. Whenever a Looper ascends to alicorn for the first time, soon after there will be a "sisters loop" where the new alicorn takes the place of Luna, with Twilight taking the place of Celestia. No matter how hard they try, the first time they experience such a loop the new alicorn will go DrunkWithPower and have to be banished to the moon. Of course, this being Equestria, a lot of these dark sides are [[PokeThePoodle more than a little silly]]. Examples include "Hard Truth" (Applejack becomes obsessed with the entire country growing apples), "Danger Dash" (Rainbow Dash performs more and more pranks), "Party Pink" (Pinkie Pie won't stop throwing parties), "Flying Hatred" (Fluttershy suffers dangerous mood swings due to a curse), and "The Fashionista" (Rarity invades griffin lands in an attempt to open up more markets for her dresses).

** SuspiciouslySpecificDenial is played for humor in "The Weird Side of Amazon 2". Danny comes across a hoodie that repeatedly reminds the customer that the hoodie is made of cotton. He responds to it with an exaggerated portrayal of the manufacturer getting more and more nervous and insistent about what the hoodie is made of and that they know what cotton is, accompanied with a slow zoom-in on his face. Then he says:
--> ''It's made of cotton, alright? And not my own hair. I did not use my own hair to make these hoodies, it's made of breathable cotton.''
** UsurpingSanta is used for BlackComedy in "[[https://youtu.be/eSFhd-CGIWU I'm Gonna Kill Santa Claus]]". Danny cheerfully plots to KillAndReplace Santa just for the cool perks of being Santa, like riding his sleigh, and forcing the elves to make toys.

** Zaboo's StalkerWithACrush behavior would be horrifically creepy in RealLife, but on the show it's over-the-top funny (to everyone except Codex, the target of his affections, but even she stops being creeped out and is instead mostly just annoyed by it).

* ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' features a teenage boy meeting his young mother through TimeTravel and her rather forwardly [[ParentalIncest coming on to him]], which it plays mostly for laughs. Thankfully, she sees him more like a brother before things go too far.
