ComicBook/{{Superman}}, the most traditional of superheroes, thus had an issue called "What's so funny about truth, justice, and the american way?" (later expanded into a feature-length film called WesternAnimation/SupermanVsTheElite) that satirizes and deconstructs the Authority, their brand of heroism and their tropes.

For whatever {{meta}} reason the producers and writers desire, sometimes a work will mock another piece of work. This is usually for comedic value and is a light-hearted (if pointed) gag.
However, one little attack can always incite a war. This trope is for instances of Work A making fun of Work B, and then Work B does the same to Work A in response. Though often settled once the score is 1-1 and the statement has been made, some works may continue the war.
Alternatively, Work B may not make a joke at the expense of Work A but instead somehow prove it wrong or create a negative homage to subtly throw shade back without the maligned name-dropping.

* ''WebVideo/ScootertrixTheAbridged'', episode 9, features an argument over who the worst MLP AbridgedSeries director is. When ''WebVideo/UltraFastPony'' creator Wacarb comes up in the argument, Celestia responds, "Who the hell is Wacarb?" ''UFP'' shot back in "On Your Mark", where the topic of performing tricks on a scooter comes up: "But there are no good scooter tricks!" "Yeah, Scootertrix sucks!" (It's all for laughs, because both of them are fans of the other's work in RealLife.)

* ''Series/{{Angel}}'' and ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' would swap jabs while they were both on air.
* Creator/DisneyChannel and Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} had a minor feud going during TheNoughties, mainly playing out through stories and devices in ''Series/ICarly'' and ''Series/SonnyWithAChance''. ''iCarly'' has an episode where it takes shots at the Disney Channel (a.k.a. "Dingo" Channel), for InUniverse stealing the ideas of iCarly.com. They also claim that the original ideas of the channel are bland and unentertaining, and they make all their adult characters stupid. ''Sonny With a Chance'' got to have its own go with ''Series/SoRandom'' going to hell with new producers in a storyline that is mocking Nick's ''Series/AllThat''. ''iCarly'' then counters again with an entire episode dedicated to completely unsubtly criticise a certain network's new interpretation of kids' TV and their programming overhaul that ditched all of the 'good' children's TV shows in favor of lesser and more demeaning ones.
* ''Series/{{Glee}}'':
** One of Creator/NeilPatrickHarris' Tony performances referred to UsefulNotes/{{Broadway}} shows as "a two-hour, live-action, barely affordable, un-lip-synched version of ''Glee''", causing the TV show to have more songs performed live on set rather than pre-recorded and edited.
** ''Series/OurGayWeddingTheMusical'' claimed that it's entire premise was "gayer than ''Glee''" -- the next season then contained [[Recap/GleeS6E08AWedding a double gay wedding]], just to make sure it kept the title.
** After ''Film/PitchPerfect'' trashed the show, characters began saying things like "the a cappella thing is boring, done".
** After ''Series/{{Community}}'' characters told the glee club on their own show (an {{expy}} for the rival shows) to "write some original songs", ''Glee'' did just that. However, ''Glee'' did not respond to ''Community'''s mocking that it "got a lot of awards" for just doing "sing sing singaling", possibly because actually winning all those awards was giving the return Take That for them.
** The show also started its own little war, when in [[Recap/GleeS4E18ShootingStar a season 4 episode]] one character claims that a couple she doesn't like makes her feel "dryer than the cast of ''Series/HotInCleveland''", HIC later responded with one of their characters who was played by a former star of ''Glee'' (Creator/ChrisColfer) tell his mother how he was "in the glee club for ''six long years''" as if despairing.
** On ''Series/VirtuallyFamous'', primarily about modern internet use, Chris and Seann would mock Creator/KevinMcHale for being on ''Glee'', so the next season of the show had the first episode ditch the computing extracurricular in favor of glee club.
* The long-lasting, good-spirited, feud between Creator/MorecambeAndWise and Des O'Connor, the first joke and following jibes (some featuring O'Connor) appeared on ''The Morecambe & Wise Show''.
* ''Series/UnREAL'' features a show that is an {{expy}} of ''Series/TheBachelor'' -- the host of ''The Bachelor'' said that one difference between the shows is that people watched his. ''[=UnREAL=]'' responded by featuring an African-American bachelor, something that the other show has never done.

* The ''Series/GrandTheftAuto'' series had two games in a row (''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIII 3]]'' and ''[[GrandTheftAutoViceCity Vice City]]'') where the player character has to kill someone named Tanner, as in the protagonist of the ''VideoGame/{{Driver}}'' series. In response, Reflections put a group of men in ''[=Driv3r=]'' named Timmy Vermicelli (a takeoff on ''Vice City's'' Tommy Vercetti) who wears a Hawaiian shirt and arm floaters (due to Tommy's inability to swim) and shoots at the player. Killing all Timmy's unlocks a bonus area. Rockstar fired back in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas'' by including a scene where a character points out actual flaws in ''[=Driv3r=]''.
* The "Zombie Genocider" achievement in ''VideoGame/DeadRising'' requires the player to kill 53,594 zombies, or the equivalent of the entire population of Willamette. ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'' includes an achievement called "Zombie Genocidest", which requires you to kill 53,595 Infected. In response, ''VideoGame/DeadRising2'' added the "Z-Genocider 2: Genocide Harder" achievement for 53,596 zombie kills. Some other games have also referenced this, like "Trail of Corpses" in ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'' [[note]]"Kill 53,596 infected"[[/note]], a note in the credits for ''VideoGame/Bioshock2'' that claims "53,596 zombies were killed during the making of this game", and the "HOPO-cidal Maniac" achievement in ''[[VideoGames/RockBand Rock Band 3]]'' for "killing" 53,596 hammer-ons and pull-offs.
* At the end of ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry2DiddysKongQuest'', [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic's shoes]] and [[VideoGame/EarthwormJim Earthworm Jim's gun]] are seen next to a trash can that says, '''NO HOPERS''' when Cranky ranks Diddy alongside [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario, Yoshi]], and [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]], depending on how many DK Coins they found throughout the game. This was done in response to two separate take thats; a promotional video for the ''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog3AndKnuckles Sonic & Knuckles]]'' game had the line, "Can an old gorilla beat this new team? No way!", and the [[UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis Sega CD]] version of ''VideoGame/EarthwormJim'' had the unlockable "Worm Kong" mask, which resembled Donkey Kong with an arrow through his head, in response to the original ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'' game outselling the original ''Earthworm Jim'' game in retail sales.
[[AC:Western Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' famously had Edna announce "NO CAPES!", which could be seen as an attack on ComicBooks/DCComics, the creator of superheroes wearing capes. In several DC works since then, they have found ways to justify wearing capes, like in ''Series/{{Supergirl|2015}}'' when Winn initially dismisses capes as tacky, but then goes back on his reservations because, actually, they provide better aerodynamics to help Supergirl fly faster and more agilely.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** The episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS3E21BlackWidower Black Widower]]" begins with the Simpson family watching a parody of ''Series/{{Dinosaurs}}'', and Bart comments, "It's like they saw our lives and put it right up on screen!", a reference to the criticism ''Dinosaurs'' recieved at the time for [[TheyCopiedItSoItSucks being accused of being a rip-off of]] ''The Simpsons''. ''Dinosaurs'' would later fire back in the episode, "Dirty Dancin'", wherein Earl complains about the TV line-up consisting of nothing but shows involving [[BumblingDad idiot fathers]], following the success of "[[ShowWithinAShow Totally Ineffectual Dad]]", and that the other shows are just cheap rip-offs. Baby then says, "Don't have a cow, man!", Bart's CatchPhrase at the time.
** ''The Simpsons'' did a joke where Peter from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' appeared on a Wanted poster for [[FollowTheLeader plagiarism]]. ''Family Guy'' responded in [[CrossesTheLineTwice its typical way]], with a gag that started with Quagmire raping Marge and ended with Homer murdering his entire family.

However, one little attack can always incite a war. This trope is for instances of Work A making fun of Work B, and then Work B does the same to Work A in response. Though often settled once the score is 1-1 and the statement has been made, some works may continue the war.
Alternatively, Work B may not make a joke at the expense of Work A but instead somehow prove it wrong or create a negative homage to subtly throw shade back without the maligned name-dropping.

!!Examples:
[[AC:Fan Works]]
* ''WebVideo/ScootertrixTheAbridged'', episode 9, features an argument over who the worst MLP AbridgedSeries director is. When ''WebVideo/UltraFastPony'' creator Wacarb comes up in the argument, Celestia responds, "Who the hell is Wacarb?" ''UFP'' shot back in "On Your Mark", where the topic of performing tricks on a scooter comes up: "But there are no good scooter tricks!" "Yeah, Scootertrix sucks!" (It's all for laughs, because both of them are fans of the other's work in RealLife.)
[[AC:Live Action TV]]
* ''Series/{{Angel}}'' and ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' would swap jabs while they were both on air.
* Creator/DisneyChannel and Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} had a minor feud going during TheNoughties, mainly playing out through stories and devices in ''Series/ICarly'' and ''Series/SonnyWithAChance''. ''iCarly'' has an episode where it takes shots at the Disney Channel (a.k.a. "Dingo" Channel), for InUniverse stealing the ideas of iCarly.com. They also claim that the original ideas of the channel are bland and unentertaining, and they make all their adult characters stupid. ''Sonny With a Chance'' got to have its own go with ''Series/SoRandom'' going to hell with new producers in a storyline that is mocking Nick's ''Series/AllThat''. ''iCarly'' then counters again with an entire episode dedicated to completely unsubtly criticise a certain network's new interpretation of kids' TV and their programming overhaul that ditched all of the 'good' children's TV shows in favor of lesser and more demeaning ones.
* ''Series/{{Glee}}'':
** One of Creator/NeilPatrickHarris' Tony performances referred to UsefulNotes/{{Broadway}} shows as "a two-hour, live-action, barely affordable, un-lip-synched version of ''Glee''", causing the TV show to have more songs performed live on set rather than pre-recorded and edited.
** ''Series/OurGayWeddingTheMusical'' claimed that it's entire premise was "gayer than ''Glee''" -- the next season then contained [[Recap/GleeS6E08AWedding a double gay wedding]], just to make sure it kept the title.
** After ''Film/PitchPerfect'' trashed the show, characters began saying things like "the a cappella thing is boring, done".
** After ''Series/{{Community}}'' characters told the glee club on their own show (an {{expy}} for the rival shows) to "write some original songs", ''Glee'' did just that. However, ''Glee'' did not respond to ''Community'''s mocking that it "got a lot of awards" for just doing "sing sing singaling", possibly because actually winning all those awards was giving the return Take That for them.
** The show also started its own little war, when in [[Recap/GleeS4E18ShootingStar a season 4 episode]] one character claims that a couple she doesn't like makes her feel "dryer than the cast of ''Series/HotInCleveland''", HIC later responded with one of their characters who was played by a former star of ''Glee'' (Creator/ChrisColfer) tell his mother how he was "in the glee club for ''six long years''" as if despairing.
** On ''Series/VirtuallyFamous'', primarily about modern internet use, Chris and Seann would mock Creator/KevinMcHale for being on ''Glee'', so the next season of the show had the first episode ditch the computing extracurricular in favor of glee club.
* The long-lasting, good-spirited, feud between Creator/MorecambeAndWise and Des O'Connor, the first joke and following jibes (some featuring O'Connor) appeared on ''The Morecambe & Wise Show''.
* ''Series/UnREAL'' features a show that is an {{expy}} of ''Series/TheBachelor'' -- the host of ''The Bachelor'' said that one difference between the shows is that people watched his. ''[=UnREAL=]'' responded by featuring an African-American bachelor, something that the other show has never done.

* At the end of ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry2DiddysKongQuest'', [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic's shoes]] and [[VideoGame/EarthwormJim Earthworm Jim's gun]] are seen next to a trash can that says, '''NO HOPERS''' when Cranky ranks Diddy alongside [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario, Yoshi]], and [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]], depending on how many DK Coins they found throughout the game. This was done in response to two separate take thats; a promotional video for the ''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog3AndKnuckles Sonic & Knuckles]]'' game had the line, "Can an old gorilla beat this new team? No way!", and the [[UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis Sega CD]] version of ''VideoGame/EarthwormJim'' had the unlockable "Worm Kong" mask, which resembled Donkey Kong with an arrow through his head, in response to the original ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'' game outselling the original ''Earthworm Jim'' game in retail sales.
