* ''Series/KamenRiderGotchard'' has one two-parter focused on the cast putting on a production of Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet at the behest of a drama club friend. The resulting product is shoddy as hell, with the first act going unrecorded on camera, Houtaro forgetting both the YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe and the [[ActorRoleConfusion names of the cast]], Rinne eventually gets frustrated with this and slaps him on-stage, and [[IsThisThingStillOn various behind the scenes mishaps get caught on camera]]

** Everything Joffrey gets to create after his own imagination winds up like this. When he revamps the formerly beautiful throne room in Season 2, it looks plundered rather than DarkerAndEdgier the way he intended. In "Two Swords" we see a very tacky statue of him triumphing over a slain wolf. And finally there was that lowbrow dwarf jousting show at his wedding...
