* In one of Stegblob's WebAnimation/YouTubePoop videos ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIy4uH173wE Robotnik Becomes Prime Minister]], at 2:33), he showed a blooper where Grounder's mouth was moving but Sonic was talking. Stegblob put up a banner at the bottom saying, "I DID NOT POOP THIS BIT!" (This was actually quite common in [=DiC=]'s cartoons.)

** In his ''Film/InspectorGadget'' film review, he points out that when a billboard advertising Website/{{Yahoo}} falls on the BigBad's car, he isn't the one who dubbed in the Yahoo jingle of the time (a man singing "Yahooooo~ooo!" in a vaguely hillbilly-sounding voice).

** During his review of ''{{Film/Hook}}'', he points out that his referring to one character as Officer Music/PhilCollins was not a throwaway line for someone who bore resemblance to Collins - that really was Collins doing a cameo. Also, when he recognizes the kissing couple sprinkled by pixie dust as Creator/GeorgeLucas and Creator/CarrieFisher, he exclaims, "I swear to God, that's not a joke!"

* [[{{Wiki/Wikipedia}} The Other Wiki]] has a list of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Unusual_articles Unusual articles]], which lists [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin odd articles on the site]]. The article that they seem to find the weirdest is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Mother_Teresa criticism of Mother Teresa]] where they say, "Seriously? Yep, seriously".

** from [[http://www.jabootu.com/cotsftt.htm the review]] of the {{WesternAnimation/Superfriends}} episode "The Time Trap":

* In WebVideo/RockedReviews' review of {{Music/Nickelback}}'s album ''Silver Side Up,'' the host Luke realizes that the album was released on the exact day of the attacks on the World Trade Center. He initially figured someone was messing with Wikipedia that day, but [[https://www.google.com/search?q=Silver+side+up+release+date&rlz=1C1KDEC_enUS925US925&oq=Silver+side+up+release+date&aqs=chrome..69i57.5771j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 they weren't]].

** And in his review of ''VideoGame/{{Metal Gear Rising|Revengeance}}: [[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 Franchise/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.")

* Chris Sims of Comics Alliance describes the ''Westernanimation/XMen'' episode "The Juggernaut Returns" [[http://comicsalliance.com/the-x-men-episode-guide-3x19-nightcrawler/ thusly]]:

** Two more instances, in ''WebVideo/JoJosBizarreAdventureAbridged'' in regards to one particularly weird line:

* A lot of the stuff ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'' uses really ''is'' canon to ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'', even if it's just 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]].

* ''WebVideo/JoueurDuGrenier'': In the [[PolygonCeiling "2D to 3D"]] episode, the opening of ''VideoGame/MortalKombatSpecialForces'' is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90V_yIBjH2M#t=8m04s shown]] with a disclaimer "No, this ain't edited, it's the game's real intro sequence."

** A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YKdc-qYADE video]] of one particular [[WebGames Flash game]] earned the title of "Franchise/SilentHill Upskirt Fighter. Really.", which is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] as "the world's most clickbaity title" and yet "100% REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CONTENT."

** A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YKdc-qYADE video]] of one particular [[WebGames Flash game]] earned the title of "Franchise/SilentHill [[PantyShot Upskirt]] Fighter. Really.", which is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] as "the world's most clickbaity title" and yet "100% REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CONTENT."

* Some of the stories covered by WebVideo/Mrballen are so unbelievable that, if warranted, he'll open the episode by giving a disclaimer to this end.

** In his review of the animated... adaptation... ''WesternAnimation/TitanicTheLegendGoesOn'', he holds up the DVD case as proof that it actually exists.

** His review of ''Film/Catwoman2004'' opens with a therapist leading a "Catwoman Anonymous" meeting.
--->'''Counsellor:''' Yes, Sean Young. We all remember how you ambushed Creator/TimBurton dressed as Catwoman in order to force him to put you in the role. *AsideGlance* That's not comedic writing. She really did that, folks.

* When WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation says "I ''wish'' I was fucking kidding!" when describing [[TrippyFinaleSyndrome the ending]] of ''VideoGame/Condemned2Bloodshot''.

* 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 the site (with ads and suggestions pixelated) to show it's really there.

* ''Magazine/PCGamer'''s online article "[[http://www.pcgamer.com/the-10-worst-and-most-wtf-puzzles-in-adventure-gaming/ The 10 worst and most WTF adventure game puzzles]]" does this twice in a single paragraph when discussing the infamous [[MoonLogicPuzzle moustache puzzle]] in ''VideoGame/GabrielKnight 3'':

** Sometimes the Snob makes a weird statement, and after a beat admits that what he said was real, such as in his ''Film/Hallowen4TheReturnOfMichaelMyers'' review asking "What's next, you're gonna tell me [[Series/TheBradyBunch Bobby Brady]] was a production assistant in this movie?"

* During WebAnimation/DorklyOriginals "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3IjHPIH6JQ Why Kylo Ren ACTUALLY turned to the dark side]]" video when Ren points out that the dark side has cool powers like Force Lightning while the light side has stuff like "Animal Friendships" the phrase "Animal Friendship is an ACTUAL, completely canonical light side power" appears at the bottom of the screen. Then to hammer it home, when Ren leaves with a pair of women to go to Supreme Leader Snoke's kegger, the phrase "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Seriously. ANIMAL. FRIENDSHIP.]]" pops up.
** Another Dorkly video, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYRf3cOo9Pc The Insane True Story Behind '50 Shades of Grey']], a reading of the infamous Literature/{{Twilight}} fanfiction [[https://www.inkitt.com/stories/fanfiction/11208?ref=v_b50fbe41-a029-4b7e-8a5d-1c3b7080160e Master of the Universe]], there are [[RuleOfThree three]] instances where the term "Actual Dialog" pops up in response to some rather odd dialogue. For example:

** A similar gag is featured in the Blog/ToplessRobot's ''[[Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen Transformers 2]]'' [[http://www.toplessrobot.com/2009/06/bonus_robs_transformers_2_faqs.php post-review FAQ]].
** And in [[http://www.the-editing-room.com/transformers2.html The Editing Room abridged script of the movie]].

** The review of the movie ''Sphere'' says this about the movie's ending: "No, really, that's what they came up with. No, I am not making this up just to make the movie sound stupider than it already is..."

** He mentions a rather awesome encounter in his VideoGame/DayZ: After miraculously fighting off a horde of zombies he triggered with noise, his character is bleeding out and near-death. Just as he's about to die, the chat box opens and greets him and he encounters the first human player that didn't immediately kill him for loot, apparently because the other player had just started playing the game. Furthermore, after explaining his situation to the new player, Yahtzee shows himself with a picture of crossed-fingers and states that "[he] ''swears'' this is true", then reveals that the player who just started the game had six blood packs and ''nothing else'', allowing Yahtzee to heal right back up. Unfortunately, before they could partner-up, a zombie came by, broke Yahtzee's leg and chased-away the new player.
