* The main character of ''WebVideo/UnwantedHouseguest'' is, by all indications, the rightful owner and sole resident of Aberfoyle Manor. One storyline even involved him fighting to reclaim his home. Other characters sometimes address him as "Houseguest" or "Guesty," implying it could be his legal name.

** '''AmericansHateTingle''' isn't really about characters or works that are ''hated'' in a specific part of the world as much as they're ''unpopular or obscure'' in that part of the world. Also the trope namer wasn't ''just'' despised in America, but pretty much across the entire English-speaking world.

** '''AmbitionIsEvil''' (as explained on it's [[Analysis/AmbitionIsEvil analysis page]]) isn't so much about how wanting to improve one's life or social status is in of itself is evil as much as it is about how people do bad things in order to improve one's life or social status. Though the implication is that these bad actions wouldn't have happened if the ambitious person didn't

** '''SeinfeldIsUnfunny''' isn't really referring to the [[Series/{{Seinfeld}} said show]] not being funny, because many people still find it hilarious. Rather, it's about how it doesn't feel groundbreaking anymore because its influence on pop-culture is already widespread and normal. "Seinfeld Is Unimpressive" would be a more accurate title.

* The second campaign of ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'' revolves around the Mighty Nein, a mercenary band with seven members. A RunningGag throughout the campaign consists of people counting their members and getting confused, occasionally prompting a solemn "We've lost a lot of good people." When the temporary addition of an NPC and a guest character meant that they briefly ''did'' have nine members, Beau immediately got upset that their name was no longer ironic.

* ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'': The party of the second campaign names themselves the Mighty Nein (pronounced as "nine"), despite the fact that there's only seven of them [[WrittenInAbsence most of the time]]. When the addition of a guest character and an NPC meant that they actually ''were'' with nine, Beau got angry about their name no longer being ironic.

* The term "Vtuber" is short for "VirtualYouTuber", but while the phenomenon got its start on Youtube, [[ArtifactTitle Vtubers are not exclusive to Youtube]]. For a brief time, Twitch tried to use a more generalized official term for Vtuber content with "Virtual Streamer", but "Vtuber" had become such a prevalent term that they reversed their decision.

** As admitted on the page '''JealousParent''' is about a parent who is jealous of a child who takes the other parent's attention away. Other forms of jealousy such as inability to take pride in their child's achievement, or jealousy of another parent's child do not qualify.

* Chinese Troper Teslashark wrote a webfic that's called ''Time to Shoot Down the Moon''. The rock-satellite of Earth suffers nothing in the story. In fact the author did it on purpose, to mock sci-fi series and war fictions [[JustForFun/IThoughtThatWas with outrageous names]].
* ''WebVideo/VGMyths'' isn't about solving or investigating [[UrbanLegendOfZelda video game-related rumors]], but rather doing SelfImposedChallenge runs. This is lampshaded in one of the {{couch gag}} introductions:

However, in some of the later videos, the witnesses are sometimes the ones who are saying the stupid things, while the lawyers are reasonably intelligent.

* In ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'' the "Safe" designation is extremely misleading to anyone with a normal definition of safe. It refers to how difficult the object is to contain and how well its effects are understood, rather than if the object or being is dangerous or not. For example, in the video game ''VideoGame/SCPContainmentBreach'', a skull that instantly kills anyone who touches it is designated as Safe despite being obviously very dangerous. However, its effects are well understood (you touch, you die), how to prevent the effect from occurring is known and understood (don't touch it), and it can easily and safely be contained (it doesn't move, [[MindControl compel]] people to touch it, attempt to escape, or really do anything other than sit there). As a result it is "Safe" by the Foundation's standards.
