* An early scene in ''The President's Analyst'' (that's been absent since early tv broadcasts) has James Coburn's character watching an art movie that's disgusting the audience (one shot dwells on an overfilled garbage can), which is walking out in a steady stream. As he points out funny details to a similarly disgusted girl, they end up the only viewers left, having a great time - the movie's auteur then angrily tells them they were ''supposed'' to hate it.

*The famous ''nihonbuyou'' number ''Fujimusume'' ("Wisteria Nymph") features a scene where the spirit dances for her LoveInterest in order to try and make him interested. Later, the spirit has drunken some sake and performs the exact same dance, only "a bit wonky". The scene is both very amusing for the audience, and very demanding for the dancer, who must appear wobbly and out-of-rythm while actually staying in rythm and keeping the dance recognisable.

* One of the extras on the DVD of ''TheIncredibles'' is "Mr. Incredible and Pals", an in-universe cartoon starring Mr. Incredible, Frozone... and a rabbit-thing named [[SmallAnnoyingCreature Mr. Skipperdoo]]. The animation is [[LimitedAnimation not animated]] (a la ''ClutchCargo''), [[RaceLift Frozone is portrayed as a tan-skinned beatnik]], and the plot was clearly [[ViewersAreMorons written for an audience of morons]]. There's also a [[{{MST commentary track]], in which Mr. Incredible and Frozone -- watching the cartoon fifteen years later -- decide that it's a good thing the cartoon never aired.

** About half the audience of ''{{Rent}}'' thinks that the fact that most of the works of art we're shown (Marc's movie, Maureen's Performance Art, Roger's "In Your Eyes", Colin's "fighting the power" consisting mainly of breaking into ATMs and putting a virus on a college's computers) kind of suck is intentional, and that the play is making a point about fighting for even low quality art. The other half thinks that the was ''unintentional'' and thus sends the play into WallBanger territory. It's best not to think about this too much.
