*** On ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'''s Ursula:

*** In her "Worst Disney Sequels" list, she first talks about the somber themes of ''Disney/TheFoxAndTheHound,'' where societal expectations destroy a friendship between the main characters, then notes: "In ''Fox and the Hound 2,'' a {{midquel}}, Copper and Todd join a band. ({{Beat}}) I'm not kidding." She can't quite suppress a grin as she says it.

** In his "Disney Bootlegs" video, a bootleg ''Disney/TheLionKing'' game has Simba ride on a platform with a [[NonNaziSwastika Swastika]] on it to reach the end of the game.

* From WebAnimation/OverlySarcasticProduction's take on the myth of Cú Chulainn:

* ''Podcast/TheLastPodcastOnTheLeft'' occasionally has to stop and say that, yes, everything they said did happen in real life (minus [[ManOfAThousandVoices Henry Zebrowski's funny voice impressions]].

** During the first Jonestown episode, Marcus tosses out one of these when mentioning that {{cult}} leader UsefulNotes/JimJones, at some point before [[Film/{{Jonestown}}]] happened, made ends meet by selling ''spider monkeys'' door to door. They reiterate this when they reveal that one woman who bought a monkey from Jim Jones did so because said monkey ''hanged itself''.

** During the first Jonestown episode, Marcus tosses out one of these when mentioning that Jim Jones at some point made ends meet by selling ''spider monkeys'' door to door.
** While discussing Dennis Nilsen, Marcus understandably gives one while mentioning that Nilsen at one point burned the carpet wrapped bodies of his victims in a bonfire in his backyard, in broad daylight, while playing ''Film/TheExorcist [[Music/TubularBells theme]] on a loop'' on his speakers for everyone to hear. And ''getting away with it''.

* A lot of the stuff ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'' uses really ''is'' canon to ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40k'', even if it's EarlyInstallmentWeirdness. Alfa does do a disclaimer about the Fabulous Custodes (the ones who've gone insane and now wear nothing but loincloths and helmets), stating that during the ''Rogue Trader'' era, it really was canon (with artwork) that the Custodian Guard gave up the use of their armor in shame for failing to protect the Emperor. TTS just used that to make them CampGay expies of the [[Anime/JoJosBizarreAdventure Pillar Men]].

* ''Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses'' and Creator/DougWalker:

* WebVideo/{{Gigguk}} claimed in "Anime in 2015" that ''Manga/TokyoGhoul √A'' was such a bad adaptation that "fucked viewers so hard, you can now watch the entire series on Pornhub!" before showing a screenshot (with ads and suggestions pixelated) to show it's really there.

** And in his review of [[VideoGame/{{MetalGearRisingRevengeance}} Metal Gear Rising:]] [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/6994-Metal-Gear-Rising-Revengeance Revengeance]], when he feels the need to call out that his comparison to ScoobyDoo was not exaggerated, as the main character actually "acquires a comedy talking dog as a sidekick. No, really, this is a thing that happens". (With a picture of a robotic dog, with a big arrow pointing to it and a caption, "a thing that happens.")

* [=JelloApocalypse=] in the ''WebAnimation/SoThisIsBasically'' series frequently changes the names of characters in the media he explains. So when he introduces [[BigBad Vicious]] in the ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' episode, a note above his name reads "That's not a joke, it's seriously his name".

* A few episode of WebVideo/NeedsMoreGay have this, usually when referring to a movie that's so ludicrously awful or strange, such as ''Film/MarciX'' and the as-of-yet unfinished ''Film/WhiteChicks'' sequel, that one ''has'' to be reassured that they do, in fact, exist.

-->Last week, we had a fun, goofy one-off episode where a local nerd stole the power of the Juggernaut to make himself irresistible on the dance floor, only to end up crashing through the roof of a TV studio where they were shooting an episode of Series/PowerRangers while the X-Men restored his stolen magical power to its rightful (and homicidal) owner. None of what I just wrote is an exaggeration or a joke. It is an accurate summary of what is, at this point, probably my favorite episode of the series.

* When Website/{{YouTube}}r ''{{WebAnimation/DarkMatter2525}}'''s animations about religion have an animated version of a scene from the Bible, the Bible verse is displayed. Usually this is a citation, but for some of the more ridiculous parts it's used as a disclaimer.

* In ''Podcast/TheLastPodcastOnTheLeft's'' episode on the Boston Strangler, they re-enact the strange antics of a psychic brought in to help in the case. The hosts insist that, minus some comedic embellishing, they are quoting directly from court and police records.

* In VideoGameDunkey's E3 2018 video he refers to ''Days Gone'' as "The zombie game from the developers of ''VideoGame/{{Bubsy}} 3D", and then shows the Wikipedia Page for SIE Bend Studio while saying "That is real! that is not a joke."

-->'''Bob:''' (14) There's an extended comedy sequence where Crosshairs loses his testosterone regulation cog and reverts to exaggerated effeminate mannerisms, which plays out as background slapstick during an unnecessarily long foreground discussion about what gender differentiation even means for the Transformers in the first place, and pays off in a deeply uncomfortable joke about hybrid cars.\\

This is in the movie as I found it! The movie literally stops to show us this full short about Mr. Poe and Yogul.

*** In the episode about ''Movie/TheAvengers2012'', Chester ([[OnceAnEpisode who always begins his vids by claiming that the film he's reviewing "IS THE GREATEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!"]]) has to assure the audience after that that he REALLY means it this time. [[ExaggeratedTrope And then]] Doug [[OutOfCharacterMoment broke character]] and assured the audience he was being serious about it.

* ''WebVideo/AnalystBroniesReact'': [=CellSpex=] was not joking about Shining Armor's voice actor going off to "voice a [=T-Rex/wrecking ball=] in a Dreamworks cartoon with ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}''". She points to a poster for ''WesternAnimation/{{Dinotrux}}''.

* In VideoGameDunkey's E3 2018 video he refers to Days Gone as "The zombie game from the developers of Bubsy 3D", and then shows the Wikipedia Page for SIE Bend Studio while saying "That is real! that is not a joke."
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CehRD7riKYA The Epic Story of Raiku]]" is mostly a clearly farcical summary of the ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts'' series from Riku's point of view, including things like Tommy Wiseau appearing, but after a certain point the video starts simply saying the events of those games with no need to exaggerate - for instance, Riku going into Sora's dream and meeting a digital version of Ansem the Wise, who gives him information about all the people in Sora's heart, or venturing into the Realm of Darkness to fight an old man pretending to be a little girl alongside his best friend Mickey Mouse. These plot points prompt a disclaimer and [[{{Corpsing}} a stifled giggle]], respectively.

* ''WebAnimation/FreedomToons'': In "The Fable of Jordan Peterson", a social constructivist identitarian argues against Jordan Peterson with a meaningless diatribe full of left-wing intellectual buzzwords. Seamus adds a note in the cartoon that he didn't make any of it up: he just replaced the relevant identity-based terms with "gogurt tube".

** The cafe in [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/sketches/33165-where-is-malachite this video]] is a real place. The last part even gives you the address in case you want to stop by.
** Also, in his review of the ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' movie, he points out that the scene where Davis ''instantly'' goes from sobbing uncontrollably about Willis' backstory to smiling in the most chipper of manners was ''not edited by him at all''.

** ''WebVideo/BumReviews'': Very often used by Chester A. Bum, a homeless guy who is the nicest movie critic ever. For example, an extract from his review of ''Film/TheXFilesIWantToBelieve'': "So Mulder and Scully are out to stop evil doctors by using a paedophile priest who is also a psychic! I swear to God, I am not making that up!" Usually PunctuatedForEmphasis but it's hard to tell since he has NoIndoorVoice.
