!!Examples:
[[AC:Anime and Manga]]
* ''Manga/TisTimeForTorturePrincess'': In nearly all instances, up to and including the manga's title, the word "Torture" is depicted in quotation marks. This is because the "tortures" used to force the Princess to talk would be cases of PokeThePoodle if they didn't regularly ''work'' and make the Princess give up a secret. Such "tortures" include delicious food the Princess has never eaten before, delicious food she ''has'' eaten before with a new twist, playing with cute and cuddly animals, playing with cute and cuddly kids such as the Hell-Lord's preschool daughter Mao-Mao-chan, and playing games with other demons as her friends.
[[AC:Comic Books]]
* ''ComicBook/ChickTracts'': In case you didn't get that Chick doesn't view Catholicism as legitimate, in [[https://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1057/1057_01.asp "Papa"]] he makes a reference to "Saint" Augustine.
[[AC:Film -- Animated]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'': Done around the number 10 in the "10 Seconds Later" screen, which happens after Vitruvius directs the party upstairs in said time...before slamming into a door.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'': Nick's pawpsicle stand is labeled "organic", complete with scare quotes.
[[AC:Film -- Live-Action]]
* ''Film/TheAmericanFriend'': Nicholas Ray's character is identified in the credits with scare quotes as "Derwatt", because he's forging Derwatts.
* ''Film/TheBlackPirate'': Fairbanks, improvising madly after Dove is discovered on the ship they just seized, proclaims her a princess and convinces the other pirates to hold her for ransom. He's making this up, as shown when he uses scare quotes to refer to the "princess" when sending a note calling for help.
* ''Film/FoolishWives'': Just in case the audience was wondering, one title refers to one of the fake princesses as Sergius's "cousin".
* ''Film/TheHalfBreed'': A title card promises a "specimen of the 'Superior' white man", and then the film cuts to a shot of the town drunk.
* ''Film/SantaAndTheIceCreamBunny'': ''Starring JAY CLARK as SANTA, and "KIDS" from RUTH FOREMAN'S PIED PIPER PLAYHOUSE'', implying that whoever did the opening titles was skeptical of their ages or acting ability.
[[AC:Literature]]
* ''Literature/OneThousandAndOneMoviesYouMustSeeBeforeYouDie'': The entry for ''Film/{{Ran}}'' refers to its runtime as a "mere" two hours and forty minutes.
* Apparently scare quotes date at least as far back as 1864 and Creator/RobertBrowning's "Mr. Sludge, 'The Medium'", about a con man fake medium that gets caught.
* "Literature/TheCraftOfTheAdventure": From the closing section discussing how games are never truly finished:
-->Roughly 300 bugs in 'VideoGame/{{Curses}}' have been spotted since it was released publically two years ago (I have received well over a thousand email messages on the subject), and that was after play-testing had been "finished".
[[AC:Music]]
* Music/DavidBowie's ''[[Music/HeroesDavidBowieAlbum "Heroes"]]'': Both the album and its title song have quotation marks as part of the title.
* Music/BobDylan: The title of his 2001 album is shown as ''"Love And Theft"'' on the cover, which has led to some confusion over whether the quotes are officially part of the title and, if so, [[EpilepticTrees why they're there]]. (Not exactly WordOfGod, but bobdylan.com includes the quote marks in its listing for the album).
* Music/SiIvaGunner: (Metal) Ajit Pai's lone promotional rip in the first tournament has a pair in the description:
--> """Arrangement""": [=SmokyThrill77=]
[[AC:Roleplay]]
* ''Roleplay/{{Trustfell}}'': Walter White is an "entrepreneur," not an entrepreneur.
[[AC:Video Games]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Dungeonmans}}'': Mage-type armor, robes and cloaks and the like, are referred to as Light 'Armor'.
* ''VideoGame/MyLittlePonyGameloft'': In "The Pinkie Parents Problem" event, Lyra tells Pinkie a "hypothetical" story about "two totally made-up twin ponies" and their parents to get around not being able to directly tell her about the Cakes' future. At the end of the story, Pinkie's playing along with the charade is indicated through the use of scare quotes around her words.
-->'''Pinkie:''' Hmm… I see! And, just to make extra specially sure, these "parents"… they're "made up" and "hypothetical" too. "Right?"
[[AC:Web Animation]]

[[AC:Webcomics]]
* ''Webcomic/AwfulHospital'': In [[https://bogleech.com/awfulhospital/637.html comic 637]], Scissie and Scissane use [[SecretMessageWink winks]] along with scare quotes to indicate that they know [[spoiler:"Tori" is not really "Tori"]]:
-->'''Scissie:''' ''[winking]'' Oh, of course, [[spoiler:"Tori"]]...you really oughta be more careful [[spoiler:with that stolen I.D!]]
[[AC:Web Video]]
* ''WebVideo/SpectrumPulse'': Expect any country song Grondin dislikes to have its genre listed in the subtitles as 'Pop "country"'.
[[AC:Western Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': In "[[Recap/FuturamaS6E18TheTipOfTheZoidberg The Tip of the Zoidberg]]", the M in M.D. on Zoidberg's office door is in quotation marks.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E11ApplejacksDayOff Applejack's 'Day' Off]]", the quotes around "Day" in the episode title refer to Rarity and Applejack's "spa day", which is only an hour's break from one chore... and Applejack ends up spending that hour fixing a leaky pipe.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS14E7SpecialEdna Special Edna]]", one of the ads Bart used to pad out his ten-page essay is for Moe's Tavern, with the phrase "We 'Check' [=IDs=]" and an image of Moe winking at the reader.
