* Dara O'Briain has a routine in one of his stand-up shows in which he describes receiving a letter of complaint from a gay-rights campaign after making a joke about Elton John writing the score for a musical version of ''Film/BillyElliot'' because "he saw a little of himself ''in'' Billy Elliot", which accused him of contributing to "a culture of violence against gay men." It's played with in that O'Briain, while clearly finding their specific accusation a bit ludicrous ("their previous target was Robert Mugabe ... and now ''me''."), initially describes his defensive reaction before conceding that the complaint had a point, he had no real defence for it and as an Irishman he's benefited quite a bit from increased politically correct attitudes so really doesn't have much cause to complain about them. He also goes on to point out that a lot of typical defences of politically incorrect material from stand-up comedians such as "civil rights, comedy's obligation to say the difficult thing and freedom of speech" tend to sound a bit lofty and pretentious for what are, most of the time, basically dick jokes.

* Kankri from ''{{Webcomic/Homestuck}}'', as a parody of {{Tumblr}} and the OverlyNarrowSuperlative sect of the LGBT community, overly defines every potential facet of his caste system and tries way too hard to make sure nothing he says offends anyone in the slightest, often asking people for a detailed list of what would offend them before going into [[WallOfText one of his monologues]]. He seems to be [[{{Irony}} blissfully unaware]] that his attitude comes off as incredibly sexist and bigoted to his friends. It gets to his point where he actually [[BitchInSheepsClothing criticizes a mentally-ill person who falls down a lot and has poor coordination for wearing a helmet]] on the grounds that [[SlipperySlopeFallacy it implies that all of the mentally-ill should be forced to wear helmets]]. Another character suggests that [[DeconstructedTrope his political correctness is just a ruse to get away with backhandedly talking about his friends's flaws to their faces.]]
** He's also completely failed to notice that his entire society now consists of twelve trolls, and most of them really don't give a damn about the subjects of his speeches. Of course, he may just be ignoring this as it would refute his right to talk on and on at length.
