From YKTTW Working Title: In-joke

Anonymous Mc Cartneyfan: This is a common term, and there are examples. There are likely entire tropes that could be listed under here. If we don't have it under another name, we need to keep it, because we will look stupid if we don't have it.

Anonymous Mc Cartneyfan: Added an example. The Divine Comedy, esp. the Inferno section, has a lot of Black Comedy in there.

Some Sort Of Troper: Yeah... for one thing this uses the name incorrectly. An in joke would be something like a Mythology Gag, Continuity Nod, Developement Gag. This trope should be named in a way that connects to Viewers Are Geniuses, and maybe Parental Bonus. Yes, some sort of combination of Genius and Bonus. Hmm.. Genius ... Bonus... I know! Homometer! Genius Bonus! ...Wait a minute, It's Been Done. So we do have this one already. Cut it.

Hylarn: If we really want to keep this it should probably be as an index; pretty much everything it could be used to mean is already a page.
