** "[[http://www.collegehumor.com/video/5762162/seth-macfarlanes-secret Seth MacFarlane's secret]]" does the same thing in regards to Creator/SethMacFarlane's creative process. All his animated series, which comprises ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'', and ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow'' are all suspiciously similar. All three feature the same generic family unit, composed of a stupid, fat, but lovable father; an attractive, gentle mother; an awkward son or daughter; a comically sociopathic baby; and a supporting non-human character that can somehow talk. College Humor pitches more show ideas, such as ''Country Life'', ''Big City Man'', ''Suburban Family Time'', ''Ma, Pa And Kids'', and three unnamed ones. The first four characters are almost identical across the shows, but the talking non-human supporting character are respectively a stereotypically French cat, a Nazi guinea pig, a [[StrawCharacter Strawman Political]] giant anteater, an "urban" pterodactyl, and a sassy snowman, Freddy Elf, and a blender that's also a vampire. [=MacFarlane=] didn't seem to mind though, and later showed up in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGyMsGiL_y4 Seth MacFarlane's Rejected Pitches]]", poking fun at ''Film/{{Ted}}'', a film he directed.
* There's a reason that the [[Literature/TheSalvationWar Ninth Circle of Hell]] has a spot for Robert [=McNamara=]… also see ''Literature/TheBigOne''.

** [[https://politics.theonion.com/whos-speaking-at-the-rnc-day-1-1819593993 From an article about the 2016 Republican National Convention:]] “Rudy Giuliani (Former Mayor, New York City) - His experience presiding over chaotic disasters that had previously been unthinkable renders him uniquely qualified to appear at this year’s RNC.”

* Mario, from ''Machinima/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers{{SMG4}}''', took a bunch of shots at ''LetsPlay/PewDiePie'', Elsagate,'' MLG'', Reaction Videos, SMG4 himself, and the fact that no one can spell or space sentences like these correctly.

** During "Dan Aykroyd's Crystal Skull Vodka" he needs to call one of the Film/{{Ghostbusters|1984}} to bust the Ghost of Late Night Television that's haunting his house. He figures Creator/BillMurray won't bother to show, knows Creator/HaroldRamis [[AuthorExistenceFailure obviously won't pick up]], assumes Creator/ErnieHudson is still mad about Jon [[NoodleIncident farting in the pudding at his Bar Mitzvah]], and really ''really'' doesn't want to call Creator/DanAykroyd. He wishes there were some ''other'' Ghostbusters he could call, then remembers that there ''are'' [[Film/Ghostbusters2016 others he could call]] and quickly decides Dan will do.

* There is a Website/{{Cracked}} [[http://www.cracked.com/article_20268_6-movie-characters-you-didnt-know-died-horrible-deaths_p2.html article describing]] [[Fridge/NightAtTheMuseum the horrible consequences]] [[spoiler: for the living wax model of Amelia Earhart]] in ''Film/NightAtTheMuseumBattleOfTheSmithsonian''. Then it takes a jab at Creator/BenStiller's acting:

** A Cracked Photoplasty contest posits [[http://www.cracked.com/photoplasty_2402_if-every-company-decided-to-go-with-passive-aggressive-ads/ how companies could take passive-aggressive attacks against their competitor(s) in their ads]].

* A few times with Wiki/SCPFoundation:
** Most famously, Clef (the writer) penned a very long piece making fun of [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/decomm:scp-531-d SCP-531]], a [[MarySue Marty Stu]] RealityWarper, and eventually terminating him in [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/termination-order Operation: Spoil the Rod]]. This set the precedent for a RunningGag where similarly overpowered fantasy characters were disposed of in the same manner (at least before the Mass Edit).
** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1475 SCP-1475]] is a jab at the NinetyPercentOfYourBrain trope.
** [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1550-j SCP-1550-J]] which warps reality and turns it into ComicBook/XMen. It takes several jabs at the series:
-->''All humanoid [=SCPs=] on location will gradually become more handsome and appealing. They will all drop in age until they are teenagers. [[BuxomIsBetter Women's breast sizes will grow.]] [...] Each humanoid SCP will insist on being called a made up nickname in some way pertaining to their power. These monikers are often cheesy, but the [=SCPs=] don't seem to notice this and use them with pride. [...] The SCP's abilities will become vastly oversimplified, and lose all scientific basis.''
** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2726 SCP-2726]]. [[HauntedTechnology It's the soul of a dead member of Gamers Against Weed which got uploaded to the internet.]] The SCP takes several swipes at ''Series/BlackMirror'', especially Recap/BlackMirrorBeRightBack, and how its criticisms of technology are shallow and the episode premises are unimaginative and limited.
-->''"have i mentioned that dick mirror sucks? you know i'm gonna rant about that show now."
** In the testing logs for SCP-914, one researcher put a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_7#Battery_faults Samsung Galaxy Note 7]] into the machine on a 1:1 setting. 914 returned a live hand grenade.

-->'''Toadsworth:''' Our story begins in a low-budget superstore. That's right, Walmart!

* During ''WebVideo/{{Jontron}}'s'' "Plug and Play Consoles" episode, he mentions bottom-of-the-bin terrible games that end up in bargain bins and shows a picture of a "$15 and under" value bin in Walmart... with a 4 foot tall stack of copies of ''VideoGame/MaxPayne3'' photoshopped into it.

* The creators of the ''Roleplay/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.

** She ''really'' hates UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan and UsefulNotes/RichardNixon. Her ''Film/TeenWitch'' review asks the lead to get the former impeached and her most rage-filled [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeastTheEnchantedChristmas review]] says it was worse than seven holocausts and Nixon rubbing his taint on a camera for ninety minutes.

* ''Website/ClanOfTheGrayWolf 16-Bit Gems'' ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'' review gave a take that to WebVideo/TheIrateGamer for his negative review and this quote in the beginning even says it:

** There's also one to ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls2013'', using a scene from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
-->'''Applejack''': Son of a bitch. They also stole my sense of wonder. (Cut to Applejack looking at the movies logo, then towards the camera) Nope.

* ''Machinima/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers{{SMG4}}'''s Mariotube Tookshot at ''LetsPlay/PewDiePie'',Disneycarstoy,''Memes/YouTube{{MLG}}'',and Reaction Video.

* ''WebVideo/SuperBunnyhop'''s Critical Close-Up of ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' has one towards controversial Let's Player ''[[Creator/TheKingOfHate Darksyde Phil]]''.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2726 SCP-2726]]. [[HauntedTechnology It's the soul of a dead member of Gamers Against Weed which got uploaded to the internet.]] The SCP takes several swipes at ''Series/BlackMirror'', especially Recap/BlackMirrorBeRightBack, and how its criticisms of technology are shallow and the episode premises are unimaginative and limited.

* In the testing logs for SCP-914, one researcher put a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_7#Battery_faults Samsung Galaxy Note 7]] into the machine on a 1:1 setting. 914 returned a live hand grenade.

* Wiki/SCPFoundation has [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1550-j SCP-1550-j]] which warps reality and turns it into ComicBook/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.''

* [[Website/TheOnion]] frequently makes use of such, particularly in headlines.

* Before a climactic battle between WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic and WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd, the 'Nerd was forced to review a bad movie, while the Nostalgia Critic had to review a video game. He opened up his review of ''Bebe's Kids'' with...
-->'''Nostalgia Critic''': Hey, ''you!'' I'm the Angry Video Game Critic! I have a small penis and like to eat elephant shit for breakfast! ''Ha ha ha!''
** 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 WebVideo/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 [[EveryoneHasStandards that was "going too far."]]
*** This is even funnier when you remember that he just delivered over 50 scathing insults that would make [[Film/FullMetalJacket R. Lee Ermey]] blush. But calling him the The Irate Gamer? THAT'S TOO FAR!
** During his review of ''Film/MortalKombatAnnihilation'' 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 ''Film/TheRoom'' being taken down. Wiseau himself is parodied, though surprisingly in an almost {{affectionate|Parody}} 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.
*** And then Tommy Wiseau started the Tommy Wi-Show
** You have to look closely, but in his review of ''WesternAnimation/ATrollInCentralPark'', he briefly lists bad things about Stanley the troll. One of them is, "He's the only troll more annoying than the ones on Encyclopedia Dramatica".
** The number one spot in the Top 11 Dumbasses in Distress.
** In his "Top Ten Films I Like But Everyone Else Hates" he has a Take That to his creepier fans. He says that he loves ''Film/TheCableGuy'' because he's got to know more people like Jim Carrey's character ever since he got Internet famous.
** In his review of ''Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas'':
--->"But I know the Whos have the Christmas spirit in check." (cut to a scene of two Whos competing against each other) "Wait, scratch that; they're as phony as Glenn Beck.
** The review of ''Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2'' has the Critic take a shot at [[Creator/FourKidsEntertainment 4Kids]] when Jon Voight's character unveils his plans for a children's TV network.

* [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment The Spoony One]], in a parody of a scene in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' during his review of it, dreams of an alternate version of himself tearing ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' a new one, one of the reasons for doing so being that he enjoys [[FanDumb pissing off creepy fan-boys.]] The rest of the review alternates between reviewing the game and delivering Take Thats to the ''Final Fantasy VII'' fan-base and the majority of otakus out there.

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

** "[[http://www.collegehumor.com/video/3980096/we-didnt-start-the-flame-war We Didn't Start The Flame War]]" (itself an AffectionateParody of Music/BillyJoel's "[[WeDidntStartTheBillyJoelParodies We Didn't Start The Fire]]) is a big Take That against Internet FanDumb.

** Then it [[RuleOfFunny continues for sake of humour]] to suggest [[Headscratchers/NightAtTheMuseum what happens next]] :
--> ""It was death or a threesome with Creator/RobinWilliams and Ben Stiller. I chose well.""

* There is a Website/{{Cracked}} [[http://www.cracked.com/article_20268_6-movie-characters-you-didnt-know-died-horrible-deaths_p2.html article describing]] [[Fridge/NightAtTheMuseum the horrible consequences]] [[spoiler: for the living wax model of Amelia Earhart]] in ''Film/NightAtTheMuseum 2''.
