If you are in on the joke, these can be hilarious; if you aren't, then they get irritating fast.

* Music/MatthewSweet was once in a band called The Buzz Of Delight, with the WordSaladTitle originating from an exchange he'd heard while he and [[{{Music/REM}} Michael Stipe]] were visiting Linda Hopper (of Magnapop) at her home: Complaining about a faulty light in the room that was making noise, Linda remarked "the buzz of the light is freaking me out"; Michael responded "[[MondegreenGag The buzz of delight]] is freaking you out?"

* ''Series/{{Blackadder}} Goes Forth'': In "General Hospital", Blackadder reveals that he figured out Nurse Mary was a German spy when he referenced the three great universities (Oxford, Cambridge, and Hull) and she failed to notice [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers the odd one out]]. General Melchett responds "Quite -- Oxford's a complete dump!", with Blackadder giving a nonplussed reaction. Creator/StephenFry (Melchett) attended Cambridge, which has had a centuries-long rivalry with Oxford, Creator/RowanAtkinson (Blackadder)'s alma matter.

* Music/SystemOfADown's "I-E-A-I-A-I-O" includes the lines "Meeting John at Dale's Jr. / winked an eye and point a finger". As a child, drummer John Dolmayan had a chance meeting with Creator/DavidHasselhoff in front of a liquor and convenience store called Dale's Jr.; When John exclaimed "Series/KnightRider!", Hasselhoff said "Hey, kid", winked and pointed his finger at him. John told the story to Serj Tankian, who wrote it into the lyrics. It sort of ties into the next line, which is a reference to the premise of ''Knight Rider'' ("a former cop, undercover / just got shot, now recovered").

* When [[Music/SoulCoughing Mike Doughty]] and {{Music/BT}} were working on the song "Never Gonna Come Back Down", BT received a phone call from DJ Rap, so Mike half-jokingly pestered him for her phone number. Thus the WordSaladLyrics included "[[GratuitousSpanish "Donde esta los digits de DJ Rap?"]] and a few references to the name "Charice" (DJ Rap's given name is Charissa Saverio).

* Creator/MercedesLackey is behind the ''Literature/HeraldsOfValdemar'' series - the titular Heralds are heroes all dressed in white and riding [[WhiteStallion special white horses]] that are actually reincarnated humans and [[OurAngelsAreDifferent some form of angel]] - altogether a case of LightIsGood and BeautyEqualsGoodness. When she co-wrote ''Literature/TheObsidianMountainTrilogy'' with James Mallory, its antagonists the demonic Endarkened show up to deceive a neutral city-state calling themselves the Enlightened - some taking the appearance of white horses that others, human-looking and wearing white, ride.
