14	* There is a Website/{{Cracked}} [[https://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:
15	--->"Pictured: [[BaitAndSwitchComparison Someone trying to convince the audience that they're a person, not just a living statue]] ... and Creator/AmyAdams."
16	** Then it [[RuleOfFunny continues for sake of humour]] to suggest [[Headscratchers/NightAtTheMuseum what happens next]]:
17	--->"It was death or a threesome with Creator/RobinWilliams and Ben Stiller. I chose well."
18	** A Cracked Photoplasty contest posits [[https://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.]]
19	* [[WebVideo/RebelTaxi RebelTaxi's]] video "[=RebelTaxi=] Hates 90s KIDS Rant #[=PrimeTimeDCNation=] @[[Creator/CartoonNetwork CartoonNetwork]]" begins with a thinly veiled parody of {{WebAnimation/Benthelooney}} exemplifying the exact thing the video addresses.
20	* "[[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Dan Green Presents Abridged 101]]" is six and a half solid minutes of jabs at the various other Abridged Series that sprang up after Creator/LittleKuriboh.
21	** Of course, it also had a bit of [[SelfDeprecation self criticism]] added to it.
22	*** According to Creator/LittleKuriboh, most of the "Abridged 101" video was self criticism.
23	** In a bit of a subversion, [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Little Kuriboh]] and [[WebVideo/NarutoTheAbridgedSeries MasakoX and Vegeta3986]] seem to like taking not-really-subtle digs at each other...but they're actually almost certainly intended as {{Shout Out}}s, judging from the fact that they occasionally ''guest star'' in each other's shows: this means that at least one joke about ''WebVideo/NarutoTheAbridgedSeries'' was actually said by ''the guy that made it''.
24	*** 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. The clip he watches itself looks like a cooperative dig, aimed at people who think calling somebody "emo" is inherently funny.
25	** Abridged Series do this all the time, even the more obscure ones. Creator/Hbi2k and Khenpoe actually justify the existence of their ''WebVideo/{{Berserk\|Abridged}}'' and ''Bleach'' series by saying they were tired of watching crappy parodies; Bennett The Sage called ''Code Geass'' a pussy abridged series; and Megami33 proclaimed [[WebVideo/SailorMoonAbridged her series]] the only good one on Website/YouTube.
26	** ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'' also delivers a well-deserved Take That to [[JerkAss people who flag YouTube videos]], as happened to the series - "I'm flagging Website/YouTube videos [[CompensatingForSomething to compensate for the fact that I have a very small penis!"]]
27	*** And let's not forget "According to Website/{{Wikipedia}}, [[Administrivia/ThereIsNoSuchThingAsNotability we don't exist]]!"
28	** Also, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffmDz4pSaFE what Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series would be like]] if Creator/MichaelBay created it.
29	** The third Season Zero Abridged episode is essentially one long Take That at the numerous times Website/YouTube took LK down for copyright violations.
30	* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7PR3PmcWxQ Ross Scott's promo]] for the Machinima Website [[http://gorillagong.com/ Gorilla Gong]], he states the site has hundreds of videos, and more ''good'' Machinima than anywhere else. It's most likely a swipe toward Creator/{{Machinima}}, which had, at the time, numerous quality control issues, was [[NetworkDecay phasing out]] Machinima when not outright [[ExecutiveMeddling meddling]] with the creators' work, and also screwed Ross Scott out of his money due to legal and contract disputes while making ''WebVideo/FreemansMind''.
31	* ''WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged'' opens with one at ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'':
32	-->'''Female vampire:''' Oh, Edward, I love you.\
33	'''Male vampire:''' And I love you, Bella.\
34	''(knock at the door)''\
35	'''Male vampire:''' Who is it?\
36	'''Alucard:''' Oh, you know...\
37	''(Alucard blasts Edward to pieces for several seconds straight)''\
38	'''Alucard:''' A ''real'' fucking vampire.
39	* [[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 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.
40	-->'''Spoony:''' I can't grudge the game for changing with the times, and I don't necessarily hate Final Fantasy VII. I just hate the people who obsess over it.
41	* Blog/{{Limyaael\|sFantasyRants}} commonly references works that use a trope well or not in her usual Rants, but she also devoted [[http://limyaael.livejournal.com/302111.html an entire rant]] to why [[Literature/TheWheelOfTime Robert Jordan]] and [[Literature/SwordOfTruth Terry Goodkind]] suck.
42	* Website/{{Uncyclopedia}} has a tendency for this, such as [[http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/index.php?title=Whiny_emo_brat&redirect=no their opinion of Harry Potter]] or the [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Aeris Gainsborough]] [[http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Aeris_Gainsborough_Murder_Trial Murder Trial]].
43	* Just about any Encyclopedia Dramatica article that isn't about something 4chan related is [[AccentuateTheNegative gleefully bashing everything and everyone]]. Minus WebComic/SweetBroAndHellaJeff and {{Creepypasta}}, which they apparently love. Since the site was originally designed as an archive of Troll activity, {{Take That}}s are inevitable.
44	** It also really crosses over into TheReasonYouSuckSpeech with the article titled "You".
45	** Uncyclopedia, being an unofficial rival, is a big target (they [[TakeThatTitForTat pretty savagely]] [[https://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/Encyclopedia_Dramatica_(Website) returned fire]]). Given that both sites shamelessly mock the daylights out of everything, including each other, any [[SeriousBusiness serious]] 'war' is doomed to just make everyone involved look stupid.
46	* In ''WebVideo/{{Smosh}}'' If Video Games Were Real 2. Sgt Anous shoots the dog in ''VideoGame/DuckHunt''.
47	* Digital Ph33r's ''Arby n the Chief'' Machinima seems to exist mostly for the adolescent Master Chief to be a mouthpiece for various attitudes and practices of online gamers that he detests, while the other characters make fun of and critique his positions.
48	* Occasionally crop up in ''Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical'' in reference to the original work; as it's an AffectionateParody, though, they tend to be quite gentle.
49	* Apparently, the makers of ''VideoGame/TheImpossibleQuiz'' are not fond of Chicken [=McNuggets=] or ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog''. In particular, their opinion of said [=McNuggets=] is presented as a factual answer to the question, insofar as anything in the Quiz can be said to be a "fact".
50	* ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'' has a character do this to ''[[YouBastard the users on the RP board.]]''
51	-->'''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.
52	* "''VideoGame/PacMan: TheMovie'' by Creator/UweBoll". Trailer is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWL6j0SvqV0 here]].
53	* ''Website/ScrewAttack'' took a jab at the viewers who refuse to click a link to the daily Hard News on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBBA2gHbA78 a Dec. 18 YouTube posting.]]
54	* At least one of the Literature/WhateleyUniverse authors have it in for ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga''. 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.
55	* Creator/{{Dropout}} (formerly [=CollegeHumor=]):
56	** "[[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 flamers.
57	** A big Take That at Website/{{Wikipedia}}'s expense in "Professor Wikipedia", who starts delivering a lecture on chemical reactions that has some interesting things in it:
58	--->"The word enzyme was coined by physiologist Wilhelm Kühne, widely believed to be a total badass. ''(Daniel looks up)'' In 1908, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Mustache."
59	** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFzLRP8e4vE Tim Burton's Secret Formula]]" seems to be a jab at how Creator/TimBurton's movie formula is just the same thing recycled. You can tell that from the DullSurprise reactions of the executives to Burton saying that the studio plans to make another film. Also, when the casting director is told "get me Creator/JohnnyDepp and my wife on the phone," he says, "I can't ever not do that," and we see that the cell phone in question can only call Johnny Depp and Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter.
60	** "[[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 with a naggy voice; 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.
61	* There's a reason that the [[Literature/TheSalvationWar Ninth Circle of Hell]] has a spot for Robert [=McNamara=]... also see ''Literature/TheBigOne''.
62	** Now he's dead, he simply became one of the occupants. The waiting spots are now reserved for "the network executives who cancelled Firefly"
63	* Website/TheOnion frequently makes use of such, particularly in headlines.
64	** [[http://www.theonion.com/video/victim-in-fatal-car-accident-tragically-not-glenn,14380/ "Victim In Fatal Car Accident Tragically Not Glenn Beck".]]
65	** [[https://www.theonion.com/sale-of-bet-to-white-supremacist-group-results-in-no-ch-1819595187 "Sale of BET to White Supremacist Group Results in No Changes to Programming"]]
66	** [[https://politics.theonion.com/boehner-resignation-leaves-massive-leadership-vacuum-in-1819592356 "Boehner Resignation Leaves Massive Leadership Vacuum In Congress Intact"]]
67	** [[https://www.theonion.com/justice-scalia-dead-following-30-year-battle-with-socia-1819592494 "Justice Scalia Dead Following 30-Year Battle With Social Progress"]]
68	** [[https://politics.theonion.com/dazed-mike-pence-wakes-up-15-miles-outside-d-c-after-a-1821079320 "Dazed Mike Pence Wakes Up 15 Miles Outside D.C. After Asking God To Deliver Him From Evil"]]
69	** [[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."
70	* ''Roleplay/DarwinsSoldiers'' has a ''very'' unsubtle Take That aimed at Paris Hilton.
71	-->'''Aisha:''' "Look at Paris Hilton, or better yet, don't. Famous for being famous, not because she has anything approaching talent."
72	* Creator/StuartAshen's review of an iPhone app
73	-->''How can you tell this is an iPhone? The battery is low.''
74	* ''Bludshot the Recolour'' parodies the original EVILLY.
75	* [[http://www.godblock.com/ Godblock]], a [[RefugeInAudacity particularly]] audacious satire of [[MoralGuardians Parental Controls]].
76	* There are quite a few take backs in ''WebVideo/ImAMarvelAndImADC''.
77	** Superman's reaction to ''Comicbook/OneMoreDay''.
78	--->'''Superman:''' Spider-Man sold his marriage to the devil? That's so... lame.
79	** Poking fun at ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'' and showing why dating vampires can be very dangerous.
80	** Spider-Man is about to say that losing the Franchise/{{Transformers}} license was the worst decision Creator/{{Marvel\|Comics}} ever made until he sees Deadpool holding his ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' head and alters his statement noting that it was actually the second worst.
81	* WebOriginal/TheDefrosters do this pretty much ever episode in reference to ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', ''Series/DegrassiTheNextGeneration'', ''Literature/HarryPotter'', and everything else they can think of. The ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' player also justified playing ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' by saying she was playing 4th edition.
82	* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick takes quite a few potshots at Creator/{{Disney}} in her videos. So much so that in her overview of Franchise/{{Disney Princess}}es that a [[GratuitousNinja ninja]] was sent to [[HeKnowsTooMuch silence her at the end]].
83	** During her review of ''Film/SpiceWorld'', there was an affectionate (she loves Creator/MontyPython and Ricky Gervais) Take That to British Comedy: "I ''think'' they're trying to make this funny. I'm not sure, they ''are'' British."
84	** 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 [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeastTheEnchantedChristmas review]] says it was worse than seven holocausts and Nixon rubbing his taint on a camera for ninety minutes.
85	* In the Literature/ChaosTimeline, Berlin is an uninteresting medium city. And Japan is a poor, undeveloped protectorate of China.
86	* During his LetsPlay of ''VideoGame/TheForceUnleashed'', when he comes to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWU-7c4Hev4 the Boss Battle with Darth Maul]], LetsPlay/GeneralSecura goes on a rant about how Darth Maul is the CreatorsPet of the Franchise/StarWars franchise. And that General Grievous was way cooler than him.
87	* Roleplay/TheInsaneQuestOfUnfathomableRandomness, 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 Creator/{{Activision}} and Bobby Kotick is Satan.
88	** Also, the only movie available to watch in Hell is ''Film/HighSchoolMusical''.
89	** Eddie Cohen, being an not-so-affectionate parody of [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga another fictional vampire]], is chock full of these. Sarah, the closest thing to a love interest Eddie has, could also count, seeing as her independence and ability to fend for herself effectively makes her the "anti-Bella".
90	* Website/{{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 UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush, Akinator will innocently base his guess off questions such as "Is your character arrogant?" or "Is your character generally disliked?"
91	** Also, the picture for the character "You" (the player) depicts an ape.
92	* Network Executives are NOT well liked on the Podcast/NerdistPodcast
93	-->'''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.
94	* White phosphorus was described as "a chemical which was used by some bad guys" in ''Literature/ChaosFighters II-Chemical siege'', a thinly veiled take that against usage of it in warfare, specifically Israel.
95	* ''WebVideo/EpicMealTime'': "Am I right, hater? '''STOP HATIN'!'''"
96	** In "Epic Meat Salad":
97	--->"What'you know about health? 'Salad'? '''[[PrecisionFStrike ]][[SoundEffectBleep ]] SALAD'''!!!"
98	* ''Website/ClanOfTheGrayWolf 16-Bit Gems'' review of the ''{{WesternAnimation/Aladdin}}'' games gave a take that to WebVideo/TheIrateGamer for his negative review and this quote in the beginning even says it:
99	-->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.
100	* LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} made a similar Take That to IG's negative review of ''VideoGame/KirbysEpicYarn'' in his LetsPlay of the game.
101	* ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall''
102	** In part of an April Fool's special, Linkara brutally parodies WebVideo/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, and bald-faced dishonesty, among other things.
103	** ''Comicbook/{{Kamandi}}: At World's End'' has Kamandi tasked with killing Franchise/{{Superman}}. When Kamandi says that Superman deserved to die, Linkara says "I mean didn't you even see ''Film/ManOfSteel''?"
104	** His review of ''Comicbook/{{Marville}}'', he says the source of the comic's name, ''Series/{{Smallville}}'', was "a show that lasted ten years too long".
105	** ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWallTheMovie'':
106	*** When Allen takes Linkara home from the bar, Linkara assures him he can pay off his tab since he regularly [[INeedAFreakingDrink buys up half their supply]] whenever he reviews ''ComicBook/{{Marville}}''.
107	*** [[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe]] boasts he can keep using his [[ShockAndAwe Force Lightning powers]] by just thinking about things that really piss him off, like ''VideoGame/SonicFreeRiders'' or ''VideoGame/RideToHellRetribution''.
108	*** Linkara at one point compares his life to a comic book and how it'll probably undergo some terrible reboot, such as [[ComicBook/OneMoreDay him making a deal with the devil]], [[ComicBook/JusticeLeagueCryForJustice getting his arm cut off by a "Mary-Sue'd up supervillain"]], or [[ComicBook/TeenTitans getting replaced by a bunch of kids because of an editor unfamiliar with his material took over the show]].
109	* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvoPmU4gao0 this]] ''Random Crap with WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' video, Strong Bad watches TV. At one point, he comes across ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', then screams and chants "MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!"
110	* Team Starkid's musical ''Theatre/{{Starship}}'' has the Galactic League of Extraterrestrial Exploration.
111	-->'''Up''': Damn that G.L.E.E.! They're always making twisted abominations of everything!
112	* ''Literature/SkippysList'' has examples:
113	--> 8. Not allowed to add pictures of officers I don’t like to War Criminal posters.
114	* WebVideo/TVTrash: From Chris "Rowdy" Moore's review of [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy "Road To The Multiverse"]], after seeing a really disturbing scene referencing Walt's rumored Anti-Semitism, and going on a long rant against the show for including the joke, he declares that he would quit the episode, but "unlike the Miami Heat, I DON'T QUIT IN THE FOURTH QUARTER!"
115	* In the ''WebVideo/LasagnaCat'' episode "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yELOiYgR2aI 08/18/1978]]" (a parody of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI''), Jim Davis joins the party after the battle. When the menu appears, Jim has horrible stats even for Level 99 and no skills.
116	* ''WebVideo/TheMusicVideoShow'' in episode 1.
117	--> "We don't need a [[Music/WhiteStripes Meg White]], we need someone who can play the drums."
118	** Episode 5
119	--->"So, one of the guys is dressed as The Phantom of the Opera. Hey, he's no Creator/GerardButler but, at least he can sing."
120	** Episode 7
121	--->"If I wanted to be in pain and misery, I'd go see an [[WebVideo/TheIrateGamer Irate Gamer]] video.
122	** Has one for Music/{{Nickelback}} .
123	--->"You guys aren't destroying Nickelback products, you're destroying products from a band that can kind of write music."
124	** [[http://youtu.be/YfQSiubYULA Episode 15]] is nothing but Take That jokes against Kevin Federline.
125	** Episode 17 has one against Windows Vista.
126	---> "At some point, the video freezes. This has been brought to you by Windows Vista."
127	** There is a jab at Music/{{Madonna}} in episode 18.
128	--->"[[Music/NoDoubt Gwen Stefani]] is trying to be hip for the kids, she's alienating everyone who liked her in the first place...she's trying to be Madonna...please don't be Madonna...otherwise, the midlife crisis will last for decades."
129	** "Now, Eddie Murphy could do something he couldn't for most of the 90s and 2000s...be funny."
130	** Episode 62.
131	--->"Would you guys shut up?! I'm trying to watch Heartbreaker!" -cue scene from [[spoiler:Donald Trump's victory speech]]- "I wanted to watch something with a self involved diva...and I got it.
132	*** When the video starts, a car pulls up to a movie theatre, with the sign saying "Heartbreaker". "Looks like they're going to watch Film/ThePhantomMenace."
133	** Episode 63.
134	--->'''Woman:''' What do you want a Barbie?\
135	'''Kiara:''' [[Music/KanyeWest He]] would have something fake and plastic but he wouldn't meet Creator/KimKardashian for at least another decade.
136	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1URC_VD0EM Episode 77]]:
137	--->'''[[Music/FallOutBoy Pete Wentz]]:''' You call yourselves hunters?\
138	'''Kiara:''' That depends. You call yourself a bassist?
139	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFRcaMZKrNI Episode 78]]: "Look at all the fun here. The dancing, the singing, the bright sunshine. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that this is the funeral for [[Music/{{Lostprophets}} Ian Watkins]]."
140	** [[https://youtu.be/ksZIWAVqPCQ Episode 123]] is a seven minute long middle finger to Music/{{Drake}}. [[spoiler: A literal wordless seven minute middle finger.]]
141	** [[https://youtu.be/anA8wdJpbYU Episode 130]] is one long [[Main/TakeThat Take That]] against the Paul Brothers and their fans.
142	** From [[https://youtu.be/w7UUYXOBYcM Episode 204]]: "Why doesn't {{Music/Eminem}} go bitch about [your bad reviews] on Twitter like everyone else? Oh wait...you have talent."
143	* ''WebVideo/PoniesTheAnthology'':
144	** ''Anthology III'' features a lot of jabs at [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E13MagicalMysteryCure "Twilicorn"]] (or at least [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks the drama over Twilicorn]], [[PoesLaw it's kind of hard to tell]]), including [[MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds it accidentally destroying Ponyville by making a pice of castle fall on the town]], it attacking Manga/{{Akira}} characters, and ''M.A. Larson'' himself undoing it.
145	** There's also one to ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls1'', using a scene from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
146	--->'''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.
147	** And one to the C&D of ''VideoGame/MyLittlePonyFightingIsMagic'' via a ParodyCommercial for the Platform/PlayStation4. In the commercial, Applejack and Twilight play the game on an Platform/XboxOne. The console then reports it for copyright, causing the library to explode.
148	** There's a non-pony one in a FreezeFrameBonus on the ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII'' parody, with Trixie's Winner screen.
149	--->A Real Fighter cheats to win\
150	It works for investment bankers\
151	All the time, Barry Bonds used steroids\
152	And look how stinking rich he is
153	* On the [[ValentinesDayEpisodes Valentine's Day Special]] of ''WebVideo/OddityArchive'', Ben Minnotte tapes a piece of paper reading "HAPPY NOW, BLIP???" onto the [[RunningGag cardboard box]]. Blip didn't take this joke very lightly, and it lead to the series' suspension from it.
154	* ''WebVideo/CinemaSins'' does this a lot in general (even to works they actually like), since their whole bit is pointing out things that are wrong with movies. On a more specific note, in their SelfDeprecation video ("Everything Wrong With [=CinemaSins=]"), they take a dig at the Catholic Church:
155	-->'''[=CinemaSins=] Narrator:''' Like Catholicism, our sins can be very minor things.
156	* The LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}} have had many a Take That over the years, often targeting films they dislike. One of their more blatant ones, however, would be in their ''[[WebVideo/YogscastMinecraftSeries Shadow Of Israphel]] Animated'' videos, specifically [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYjUrX6macY&channel=BlueXephos this one]], in which Israphel tries bypassing LetsPlay/LewisBrindley and LetsPlay/SimonLane, in this case acting as guards for [[VideoGame/PapersPlease Arstotzka]]. After initially being rejected for not having a matching passport, he tries disguising himself as WebVideo/GameChap [[note]]who was thrown out of the Yogscast for rude behaviour and has since been bashed many times for what the group perceives to be sexist content[[/note]]. He ''immediately'' gets laughed at and denied entry for being "a creepy bastard". It is worth noting in this case that while the Yogscast did not design the animation for the sketch (a fan did that, with [[LetsPlay/HatFilms Trott and Ross]] adding their own dialogue later), they did upload it on their channel, thus approving it.
157	* Creator/AchievementHunter have had their share over the years. However, one of the more blatant ones would be Jack Patillo, noticing the coincidental, if morbid, trend of a celebrity being mentioned in a video and dying shortly after being mentioned (before the video gets released, shortly after, etcetera). Jack attempts to ''invoke this'' by naming his entire team in a game of ''Worms'' after ''conservative talk show hosts''.
158	* ''WebVideo/SuperBunnyhop'''s Critical Close-Up of ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' has one towards controversial Let's Player ''Darksyde Phil''.
159	-->'''George:''' It's a system that is carefully balanced to allow ANYONE to beat the game. (Shows clip of DSP's ''Dark Souls'' Let's Play.) And I do mean anyone.
160	* ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' has a 30 minute long one of these with "[[Recap/DragonBallZAbridgedM11 Broly The Legendary Super Saiyan]]". Besides mocking those who obsess with PowerLevels (something they have done since reaching the infamous "OVER 9000!" scene), the entire movie is a Take That towards Broly, whom Creator/TeamFourStar hate with a passion. In this movie, Vegeta's HeroicBSOD isn't over how powerful Broly is, but how ''stupid'' such a cool looking character has such an ''inane'' reason for being a villain. Even more, after Broly puts Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Trunks and Piccolo through a CurbStompBattle, the five spend a few minutes wishing they could fight any of the previous movie villains ''instead'' of Broly.
161	* Mario, from ''WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers'', 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.
162	* ''WebVideo/TheHappyVideoGameNerd'': In the stinger to his ''Final Fantasy Mystic Quest'' video, he deliberately pronounces "NES" as both "Enn-ee-ess" and "Ness" just to "piss everyone off".
163	-->'''HVGN:''' What are you gonna do about that, haters?
164	* ''WebVideo/UltraFastPony''
165	** The series takes a couple of jabs at ''WebVideo/FriendshipIsWitchcraft''. In the comment section below "The Penny and Clyde Show", Wacarb clarifies that he does it out of professional rivalry rather than actual ill will. "If you're wondering what I feel about [=FiW=], they are ok, I only really make fun of them because they are the most popular competition."
166	*** In "One Joke To Rule Them All", Twilight, as a "new joke", takes up saying "Talk about eye candy!" at random occasions. Which nobody finds funny.
167	*** "I stole all these jokes from Friendship Is Witchcraft. And by that I mean there are no jokes this episode". The episode in question indeed contains no jokes (see OutOfGenreExperience).
168	*** "Pega, Please" has one that's either much more subtle or just a coincidence. Twilight says that the dragon is "dra''gone''", which Spike finds [[IncrediblyLamePun incredibly lame]]. ("Dragone Baby Gone" is the title of another ''Friendship is Witchcraft'' episode.)
169	** In "Pega Please!" Pinkie encourages Fluttershy to think of "that famous basketball player" to help her jump across the ravine.
170	--->'''Fluttershy:''' Shaquille O'Neal!\
171	'''Pinkie Pie:''' No, not that one!\
172	'''Twilight:''' Never, ever, that one, Fluttershy.
173	** In "Little Miss Montage", DJ Scratch Vinyl 3-Pones plays "Hamster Dance", which prompts Hoity Toity to comment, "Oh, now that's just poor taste in music. Still better than {{dubstep}}, though."
174	** In "The Best Episode Ever":
175	--->'''Spike, as narrator:''' And so they all left, with nothing at all being achieved. Making the meeting about as effective as the United Nations.\
176	'''[[SelfDeprecation LOL LOL CLASSY POLITICAL HUMOR LOL LOL]]'''
177	** "Faith to Faith" has a jab at how ReferenceOverdosed ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'' can be.
178	--->'''Pinkie Pie:''' Time to make Little Kuriboh proud! "[[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Shut up and take my money!]]" \
179	''[The crowd has a good laugh at this.]''\
180	'''Random pony:''' Your low standards of humor are why no one tries to make legitimate comedy anymore!
181	** In "The Longest Engagement", Fluttershy introduces a bird she befriended, a bird who sings with the voice of Music/NickiMinaj.
182	--->'''Twilight:''' For the love of Celestia, make it stop!\
183	'''Fluttershy:''' Sorry. Some birds just ain't cut out for singing.
184	** Combined with SelfDeprecatingHumor, at Shining Armor and Princess Cadance's wedding Celestia notes that:
185	--->'''Celestia:''' Marriages are like abridged series. They're usually offensive and don't last very long.
186	** In the video description for "UFP sings Take On Me", wacarb writes "I'm better at butchering the classics than George Lucas."
187	** In a few season 3 episodes, Wacarb's treatment of the source material gets more bluntly negative than usual. His video description for "Join the Club" reads, "Hey, at least things couldn't get worse. I'm not kidding this time, this is the actual pits." In "Wolfenspike 3D", Twilight attributes a specific plot hole to laziness, and Applejack replies, "I frickin' hate season 3." And in "Discord and Me", Celestia defends a plot hole by saying "It's season 3, Twilight, try not to think too much about it. The writers certainly didn't!"
188	** The video description for "Ponyville Noire" reads "A video of still images, monotone voice work and slowly decreasing quality of humor? What is this, [[WebVideo/MyLittlePonyTheMentallyAdvancedSeries the Mentally Advanced Series]]?"
189	** In "Saturday Morning Ponies", the video description reads "Some of the worst synth music you'll ever hear. Still better than [[WebVideo/ScootertrixTheAbridged Scootatrix]] at least."
190	** In "On Your Mark", Sweetie Belle says "Yeah, Applebloom, scooter trick sucks". This was a response to a "Take That!" from Scootertrix.
191	** The entire Season 4 Finale is essentially a long series of affectionate "Take That!"s between Wacarb and Jack Getchman (the creator of ''WebVideo/ScootertrixTheAbridged'', who voices Tirek in [=UFP=]), and, naturally, a ''lot'' of SelfDeprecation.
192	* Psychiatrist blogger Scott Alexander said, in his post [[https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/12/12/beware-the-man-of-one-study/ Beware the Man of One Study]]:
193	-->Do not trust websites which are obviously biased (eg Free Republic, Daily Kos, Dr. Oz) when they tell you they're going to give you "the state of the evidence" on a certain issue, even if the evidence seems very stately indeed. This goes double for any site that contains a list of "myths and facts about X", quadruple for any site that uses phrases like "ingroup member uses actual FACTS to DEMOLISH the outgroup’s lies about Y", and octuple for Rational Wiki.
194	* ''WebVideo/StacheBros'':
195	** In "Episode 1-5 - Good VS Evil" of "Mario & Luigi! Stache Bros", Toadsworth yells at ''Series/HannahMontana'' on his TV and tries to change the channel with the mind control remote thinking it's a broken TV remote.
196	** In "The Year Luigi Stopped Believing In Santa Claus!":
197	--->'''Toadsworth:''' Our story begins in a low-budget superstore. That's right, UsefulNotes/{{Walmart}}!
198	** Another jab at Walmart comes from "Mario's Suckish Valentines" when Mario is forced to buy poor quality flowers from the aforementioned store after Bowser takes the box of chocolates Mario planned to give to Peach.
199	** In "Episode 2-6 - Petey Piranha Strikes Back" of "Mario & Luigi! Stache Bros", Petey makes a jab at America's bad habit of littering when [[spoiler:he finds a stray cardboard box while trying to find a way off Yoshi's Island]].
200	--->'''Petey Piranha:''' Who knew what the lack of etiquette in our bilingual nation and laziness of our burger-infested citizens would pull off to give me this tasteful box-boat?
201	** "Mario & Luigi's Paper Jam" has one towards ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPaperJam'':
202	--->'''Luigi:''' So what do you think this game's like, anyway?\
203	'''Mario:''' Probably exactly like what we've been through these past few days.\
204	'''Luigi:''' Oh, so a relatively fun action-adventure with a completely undeveloped predictable story that goes nowhere and serves more to remind us that despite the improved gameplay mechanics, our favorite characters aren't treated with the love and respect they got a decade ago?\
205	'''Mario:''' No, I think it's about printers, man.\
206	'''Luigi:''' Oh, OK, me, too.
207	* ''WebVideo/{{Jontron}}:''
208	** During his "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.
209	** 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 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.
210	** When dunking on Creator/GwynethPaltrow's "[[SnakeOilSalesman Goop]]" business, he asks why it won't stay where it belongs: the cesspool under his house. When the camera cuts down to show what else is in there there's a lot of human waste, a broken furby, and a copy of ''Film/LesMiserables2012''.
211	* Quite a bit of the humor in Tim Rogers' ''WebVideo/ActionButton'' reviews comes from his rather deadpan comments on games he didn't particularly care for:
212	-->'''Tim:''' If ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs'' is ''Series/TheSopranos'' of video games, that'd make ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'' ''Series/TheWire'' of video games, in a parallel universe where ''The Wire'' isn't good.
213	** In the ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077'' review Tim goes on a tangent on how, in preparation for playing the game and getting a feel for the genre, he decided to look at other games that something to do with "cyber" and "punk", and as such played Rocky Rodent and found it to be a surprisingly good game. Thinking he could find some other overlooked diamonds-in-the-rough, he tried playing a bunch of other MascotWithAttitude platformers from the time period, and immediately found that the genre's reputation of being not altogether that good was rather well deserved.
214	--->'''Tim:''' I booted up ''[[VideoGame/AwesomePossumKicksDrMachinosButt Awesome Possum]]... I wish I hadn't.'' I was thinking, while I was playing platform games starring mascot rodents, I might as well visit Creator/{{Konami}}'s ''VideoGame/RocketKnightAdventures'' [...] I even played it's sequel ''Sparkster'', which totally ''sucks''. For a good measure, and to finish the poisoning, I chocked down ''VideoGame/AeroTheAcroBat'', ''Aero the Acro-Bat 2'', and ''Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel''. More like, ''Zero out of Ten'' the Kamikaze Squirrel out of Ten!
215	* ''LetsPlay/JohnWolfe'' occasionally takes jabs at other {{Lets Play}}ers during his playthroughs:
216	** During ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil0'', when he finds photograph of young [[BigBad Dr. Marcus]] he ''immediately'' notices it looks like Creator/ArinHanson and...
217	---> '''John:''' There's Marcus in the back! Fucking Egoraptor over there, "[[CausticCritic Bah, I hate everything except]] VideoGame/MegaMan2!"
218	** And during "14 RANDOM [[WebOriginal/TheBackrooms BACKROOMS]] GAMES" he abruptly gets killed by a Smiler, a hideous face with a gigantic grin and gangly teeth that gets right up close when it attacks.
219	---> '''John:''' What the hell is ''this?''
220	---> (He is killed)
221	---> ([[{{Beat}} Long pause]] with an AsideGlance)
222	---> '''John:''' What, I got killed by one of WebVideo/{{Markiplier}}'s thumbnails?!
223	* ''WebVideo/{{FUDW}}'': In the episode recap at the end of "DW GETS CANCELLED", host Matt calls ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' "an overrated play about young love, not true love."
224	* ''WebVideo/KyotoVideo'': In Kaiser's video on ''Manga/ViolenceJack'', he makes this crack after noting that the character of [[CreepyCrossdresser Blue]] brings up the UnfortunateImplications of all transgender people being "sexually deviant freaks of nature".
225	--> (StageWhisper) "Creator/JKRowling cannot know that this anime exists!"
226	* In one ''WebVideo/{{Lythero}}'' video with ''VideoGame/DragonBallFighterZ'', learning that the Fused Zamasu model ended up being changed to [[VideoGame/SonicForces Infinite]], [=PaperBoxHouse=] does ''not'' pull punches:
227	-->'''[=PaperBoxHouse=]''': How y'all combine and make mid?
