*** The joke in question would likely be the one in Episode 29, when Tristan decides to watch the newest episode of ''Naruto:TAS'' and proclaims it the best internet parody series ever.

** He also started that video using the theme song of AVGN, with a few lyrics changed and the AVGN logo, with the Nerd part crossed over and Critic written at the bottom. As a response to people saying that the Nostalgia Critic is a Angry Video Game Nerd copy.
** He also took a swipe at TheIrateGamer, saying that the AVGN had become "The Irate Gamer to his genius" when he found out that the AVGN was also doing a review on "The Wizard." Seconds later he said [[EvenEvilHasStandards that was "going too far."]]
*** This is even funnier when you remember that he just delivered over 50 scathing insults that would make [[FullMetalJacket R. Lee Ermey]] blush. But calling him the The Irate Gamer? THAT'S TOO FAR!
** During his review of ''Mortal Kombat: Annihilation'' he remarked that the special effects were so bad it looks like they were made by the Angry Video Game Nerd.
** Doug Walker himself proves he can be just as vicious as his characters when he lets loose with "The Tommy Wiseau Show", a response to the NC review of ''TheRoom'' being taken down. Wiseau himself is parodied, though surprisingly in an almost [[AffectionateParody affectionate]] way, given the circumstances. The vitriol is saved for a behind-the-scenes functionary named John, who runs theroommovie.com, and with whom TGWTG obviously had extensive dealings in the aftermath of the removal. Walker doesn't hold back in portraying him as completely insane, hysterical, greedy, and obsessive. By the end, he even seems to be inciting viewers to "contact" him by crying "I'm John from theroommovie.com!" over and over again.

** In his "Top Ten Films I Like But Everyone Else Hates" he has a TakeThat to his creepier FanDumb. He says that he loves ''TheCableGuy'' because he's got to know more people like Jim Carrey's character ever since he got internet famous.

-->'''Danielle Champney''': If you're watching me die right now, I hope you rot in hell. I hope you experience a fraction of the pain and fear my classmates and I have. I hope you get cancer or AIDS and I hope it fucking ''hurts''. I hope that when Death comes for you you'll be begging for it while it takes its sweet ass time finishing you off. I fucking hope your life has been miserable and I hope it only gets worse. You're scum. You're ''disgusting''. The kids that died here deserved the life that was wasted on you. It should be you here. Not me.
* An episode of RetardedAnimalBabies had the characters go on to the Internet. They go by the site HappyTreeFriends, which one of the characters says, "All they do is copy us". A Halloween episode also had one of the characters dressed as Flippy.
* An ebolaworld cartoon had Taco-Man beating up a dead hacker. At one point, he says, "AndThisIsFor HomestarRunner's popularity!". In his first e-mail, people accused him of ripping off Strong Bad e-mails. In another e-mail, people are given instructions on how to write to Taco-Man. One of the wrong ways to write his name was to write "Strong Bad". Taco-Man was actually referenced in a HomestarRunner Halloween cartoon.
* "''PacMan: TheMovie'' by UweBoll". Trailer is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWL6j0SvqV0 here]].
* Screwattack took a jab at the viewers who refuse to click a link to the daily Hard News on [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBBA2gHbA78 a Dec. 18 YouTube posting.]]
* At least one of the WhateleyUniverse authors have it in for ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''. The typical fourteen-year-old girls at [[SuperheroSchool Whateley Academy]] love the books and can't wait for a movie to come out; the sophisticated kids with the advanced literature backgrounds despise the books.
* CollegeHumor's [[http://www.collegehumor.com/video/3980096/we-didnt-start-the-flame-war "We Didn't Start The Flame War"]] (itself an AffectionateParody of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire) is a big TakeThat against Internet FanDumb.
* There's a reason that the [[TheSalvationWar Ninth Circle of Hell]] has a spot for Robert [=McNamara=]... also see ''TheBigOne''.
** Now he's dead, he simply became one of the occupants. The waiting spots are now reserved for "the network executives who cancelled Firefly"
* One of the biggest Take Thats of all time probably comes from the [[TheOnion Onion News Network]], with their story [[http://www.theonion.com/video/victim-in-fatal-car-accident-tragically-not-glenn,14380/ "Victim In Fatal Car Accident Tragically Not Glenn Beck".]]
* ''DarwinsSoldiers has a ''very'' unsubtle TakeThat aimed at Paris Hilton.
-->'''Aisha:''' "Look at Paris Hilton, or better yet, don't. Famous for being famous, not because she has anything approaching talent."
* StuartAshen's review of an iPhone app
-->''How can you tell this is an iPhone? The battery is low.''
* ''Bludshot the Recolour'' parodies the original EVILLY.
* [[http://www.godblock.com/ Godblock]], a [[RefugeInAudacity particularly]] audacious satire of [[MoralGuardians Parental Controls]].
* There are quite a few take backs in {{Im A Marvel And Im A DC}}.
** Superman's reaction to One More Day.
-->'''Superman''': Spiderman sold his marriage to the devil? That's so... lame.
** And again poking fun at Literature/{{Twilight}} and showing why dating vampires can be very dangerous.
* TheDefrosters do this pretty much ever episode in reference to WorldOfWarcraft, DegrassiTheNextGeneration, HarryPotter, and everything else they can think of. Most recently, the WoW player justified playing DungeonsAndDragons by saying she was playing 4th edition.
* WebOriginal/TheNostalgiaChick takes quite a few potshots at {{Disney}} in her videos. So much so that in her overview of {{Disney Princess}}es that a [[EverythingsBetterWithNinjas ninja]] was sent to [[HeKnowsTooMuch silence her at the end]].
** During her review of SpiceWorld, there was an affectionate (she loves MontyPython and Ricky Gervais) TakeThat to British Comedy: "I ''think'' they're trying to make this funny. I'm not sure, they ''are'' British."
** She ''really'' hates Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon. Her ''Teen Witch'' review asks the lead to get the former impeached and her most rage-filled [[BeautyAndTheBeastTheEnchantedChristmas review]] says it was worse than seven holocausts and Nixon rubbing his taint on a camera for ninety minutes.
* In the WebOriginal/ChaosTimeline, Berlin is an uninteresting medium city. And Japan is a poor, undeveloped protectorate of China.
* During his LetsPlay of TheForceUnleashed, when he comes to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWU-7c4Hev4 the Boss Battle with Darth Maul]], General Secura goes on a rant about how Darth Maul is the CreatorsPet of the StarWars franchise. And that General Grievous was way cooler than him.
* TheInsaneQuest, when not making fun of [[SelfDeprecation itself]], has been known to take the occasional jab at others. One memorable example is when the main characters are sent to Hell, only to discover that the whole place is run by {{Activision}} and Bobby Kotick is Satan.
** Also, the only movie available to watch in Hell is HighSchoolMusical.
** Eddie Cohen, being an not-so-affectionate parody of [[Literature/{{Twilight}} another fictional vampire]], is chock full of these. Sarah, the closest thing to a love interest Eddie has, could also count, seeing as her independance and ability to fend for herself effectively makes her the "anti-Bella".
* {{Akinator}} has no opinions on his own on the characters, real and fictional, he's guessing; but since his knowledge base is made up of contributions by millions of people worldwide, his questions tend to betray the sympathies of the Internet at large. So, when you're trying to guess GeorgeWBush, Akinator will innocently base his guess off questions such as "Is your character arrogant?" or "Is your character generally disliked?"
** Also, the picture for the character "You" (the player) depicts an ape.
* Network Executives are NOT well liked on the NerdistPodcast
-->'''Chris''': Sorry, I'm an executive, I don't have an imagination, so you're going to have to explain everything to me in great detail.
* White phosphorus was described as "a chemical which was used by some bad guys" in ''ChaosFighters II-Chemical siege'', a thinly veiled take that against usage of it in warfare, specifically Israel.
* RoosterTeethShorts gives one to Rebecca Black, during [[http://redvsblue.com/archive/?id=3015 ''Fight or Flight'']] credits : Music by Rebecca Black.
* EpicMealTime: "Am I right, hater? '''STOP HATIN'!'''"
** In "Epic Meat Salad":
--> "What'you know about health? 'Salad'? '''[[PrecisionFStrike **]][[SoundEffectBleep **]] SALAD'''!!!"
* Metokur is like this most of the time towards deviants they write insulting articles about, sometimes it's so horrible the artists have to deactivate their accounts. Metokur = jerkass central.
* The creators of the ''GlobalGuardiansPBEMUniverse'' '''really''' don't like the New England Patriots football team. A football-themed superhero named "The Patriot", who based his costume on the team's uniform, is seen by the general public as more of a dirty-fighting, grand-standing loudmouth with no actual talent, rather than as an effective crime-fighter.
** According to the settings timeline, shortly after the Patriots pulled off the infamous "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowplow_Game Snow Plow Play]]", a group of supervillains (all of whom were major Miami Dolphins fans), hunted down and murdered the entire team's lineup. It was nearly ten years before the owners restarted the franchise, and the team has been at the bottom of the NFL rankings since that point.
* WebOriginal/SCPFoundation has [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1550-j SCP-1550-j]] which warps reality and turns it into XMen. It does take several jabs at the series:
--->''Almost everyone will be friends with everyone else, and a good percent are paired up with a member of the opposite or same sex. It is hard to tell the exact amount however, because these relationships frequently shift; there are often fights, and what the teenagers refer to as "drama"''
--->''The SCP's abilities will become vastly oversimplified, and lose all scientific basis.''
* ''ClanOfTheGrayWolf 16-Bit Gems'' ''{{Aladdin}}'' review gave a take that to ''TheIrateGamer'' for his negative review and this quote in the beginning even says it:
--->You know. There are lot of people who are just ''irate''. Gamers who are so busy nitpicking all the bad games out there that they won't know a good one if it let up squeezed the life out of them or threw apples at their heads... I forgot my transition here but the punchline here is Aladdin.
* In part of an April Fool's special of AtopTheFourthWall, Linkara brutally parodies TheIrateGamer videos. Basically his video sums up nearly every complaint people make about the IG, such as getting information wrong, acting like things were overly difficult, among other things.
* In [[http://youtube.com/watch?v=CvoPmU4gao0 this]] ''Random Crap with HomestarRunner'' video, Strong Bad watches TV. At one point, he comes across ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'', then screams and chants "MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!"
* Team Starkid's musical {{Starship}} has the Galactic League of Extraterrestrial Exploration.
-->'''Up''': Damn that G.L.E.E.! They're always making twisted abominations of everything!
* ''[[WebOriginal/SkippysList Skippy's List]]'' has examples:
--> 8. Not allowed to add pictures of officers I don’t like to War Criminal posters.
