1 | %%* In ''AstoundinglyUnoriginalAdventure'' text adventure style forum game, the character "[[MeaningfulName BITTER CYNIC]]" (BC) is alarmingly this. He makes reference to Website/TVTropes and says he [[JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife spends a lot of time on it]]. |
2 | * The EvilOverlordList is all about an aspiring EvilOverlord who, noting every villain they've seen or read about [[VillainBall always lose by making the same mistakes]], makes a handy guide to being a savvy villain. |
3 | * In the ''WebVideo/DoorMonster'' video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGQMZ6twGCY "Predictable"]], [[{{Eagleland}} Johnny America]] follows so many America action hero cliches that [[HuskyRusskie Jegor]] can predict his every move. |
4 | -->'''Jegor:''' KGB trains us on handling loose cannon American action heroes. Whole course on cops who do not play by rules. I take notes. |
5 | * The hosts of WebVideo/EatYourKimchi, Simon and Martina Stawski are savvy with both North American and Korean popular culture. |
6 | * Several of the guests on ''WebVideo/EscapeTheNight'' can count: |
7 | ** After surviving the first season, when [[spoiler:Oli and Eva]] receive invitations from Joey again (albeit BrainwashedAndCrazy this time), they respectively tear up and burn the invitations and defy SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome as a result. |
8 | ** In Season 3 Episode 8, when the group finds the Wicker Man artifact, [=MatPat=] tells them not to touch it because of what happened in ''Film/TheBlairWitchProject''. |
9 | --->'''Matt:''' I've seen enough ''Blair Witch Project'' to know you don't go touching creepy stickman in the middle of nowhere, heck no! |
10 | ** In Season 4, [[spoiler:Justine]] is the only one to try and escape her horrible fate, first she tries running, and later she grabs a knife and begins to stab the monster attacking her. Justified as this takes place in an All-Stars season, where she had partaken in a previous season. |
11 | %%* Bai Yuxiu of ''Animation/FengLingYuXiu'' seems to think she's in some kind of wuxia story. Which she is. |
12 | %%* WebVideo/HeroHouse has Red Hood, who seems acutely aware of how comic books work. This gives him something of an attitude. |
13 | * In ''WebVideo/KanePixelsTheBackrooms'', this is ZigZagged considerably concerning the [[ResearchInc ASYNC Foundation]]. After they open a portal to [[EldritchLocation The Backrooms]], they send researchers through to investigate, while following a long list of common-sense safety protocols: researchers must wear {{Hazmat Suit}}s, travel in groups of no less than three, and carry tethers along with other safety equipment. And, when one researcher encounters [[HumanoidAbomination the Bacteria entity]], they block off the corridor until they can issue weaponry to their employees. At the same time, however, ASYNC is determined to push onwards with its [[JustThinkOfThePotential grand plans]] of using the infinite space of the Backrooms [[MundaneUtility for real estate development]], despite mounting evidence that they're meddling with [[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow cosmic forces they can't possibly understand]]. |
14 | * Let's Player LetsPlay/NicoB is known for his [[Franchise/{{Danganronpa}} Ultimate]] Bullshit/Plot Guesser powers, which generally boil down to being so genre savvy he repeatedly predicts plot twists before they happen. |
15 | %%* Zeke Strahm of ''Blog/SeekingTruth'' is very familiar with Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos, and it shows. |
16 | * Every single character in ''Literature/{{TOT}}'', regardless of their age, is fully aware that they're in a horror novel and do the exact opposite of what a protagonist in a horror story ''shouldn't'' do. Unfortunately, [[BigBad Maximus Slade]] is also genre savvy and makes it hard for the protagonists to survive regardless. |
17 | * Most of the protagonists in the Literature/WhateleyUniverse grew up reading Creator/MarvelComics and Creator/DCComics, and watching lots of anime, so they're pretty well suited to be growing up as mutants in a superhero universe. |
18 | * During the Great Microwave Heist, Chad James reveals he's familiar with the FakeoutEscape trope when he and Barbara return from a snack run to find an empty equipment cage. Barbara simply thinks someone let Sam out of the cage. |
