** The main plot of the movie is kicked off after UsefulNotes/LeBronJames is invited to a meeting at Warner Bros. where Al-G Rhythm proposes making [=LeBron=] the new face of Warner Bros. by inserting his digital likeness in several WB properties. Which is basically just a variation of what the film itself is doing by via its MassiveMultiplayerCrossover nature. [=LeBron=] reacts by pointing out that "[[SelfDeprecation athletes acting never goes well]]" and that "This idea is straight up bad. One of the top 5 worst ideas I ever heard".

* In ''Film/SpaceJam'', Daffy Duck kisses his own butt with the Warner Bros. logo on it. According to animator Dave Spafford [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVEy4ksQ90E&t=635s in an interview]], this was intentionally done out of spite of the company. It even uses the Creator/BobClampett design of Daffy instead of the modernised Creator/ChuckJones one that most of the movie uses.

* ''Film/PeeWeesBigAdventure'' does this in the climax: Pee-Wee Herman sneaks into the Creator/WarnerBros studio to find his stolen bike and escapes on it, but ends up being chased by studio security guards. It then goes further than this when the studio strikes a deal with Pee-wee to turn his life story into a film called ''Pee-wee's Big Adventure''. Unlike the "real" film, the fictional film is totally inaccurate - and instead of allowing Pee-wee to play himself, they cast Creator/JamesBrolin in the title role and only allow Pee-wee to do a cameo as a bellhop.

* Deconstructed in universe in ''Film/VForVendetta''. [[spoiler:Turns out this is a really bad idea when your sponsor and overseer is a totalitarian regime.]]
* ''Film/JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack'' was full of these jokes. Case in point...
--> '''Creator/BenAffleck''': You're like a child. What've I been telling you? You gotta do the safe picture. Then you can do the art picture. But then sometimes you gotta do the payback picture because your friend says you owe him. ''{{Beat}} and AsideGlance''
* ''Film/WaynesWorld'' actually had this as a plot point, with the boys making fun of their show's sponsor. And in the sequel, their trip to London is shown via second-unit footage with incredibly bad stand-ins while they marvel in voice-over [[SarcasmMode how nice of Paramount it was to send them to London for real]].
* ''Film/{{Idiocracy}}'' made a point to savage the hand of every piece of ProductPlacement appearing in the film. Fuddruckers' name slowly mutates into 'Buttfuckers'. Carl Jr's slogan becomes 'Fuck you, I'm eating!'. Opinions divide on the motives behind this move.
* In a similar way, ''Film/FightClub'' mocks most of its product placement (though one was intentional, as Edward Norton hates the New Beetle and intended to have a scene hitting it).
* In ''Film/{{Impromptu}}'', a group of struggling artists put on a theater production for their wealthy patrons that insult said patrons. The artists give "true art is offensive" as their justification.
* After Robocop has been reprogrammed in ''Film/RoboCop2'', one of his directives is to "avoid [[Creator/OrionPictures Orion]] meetings."
* ''Film/PeeWeesBigAdventure'' does this in the climax: Pee-Wee Herman sneaks into the Creator/WarnerBros studio to find his stolen bike and escapes on it, but ends up being chased by studio security guards.
* Although more of an InJoke (as the film was by Creator/{{Paramount}}, not Creator/{{Disney}}), the [[spoiler:near]] destruction of Creator/{{Pixar}} in ''Film/MissionImpossibleGhostProtocol'' (director Creator/BradBird made two [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Oscar]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}} winners]] there), as seen in the trailer.
* At the end of ''Film/HolyFlyingCircus'', [[Creator/StephenFry God]] tells Michael Palin that he's having a dream that will probably be used as the ending for a heavy-handed Creator/{{BBC}}4 comedy/drama.
--->'''Michael''': Gosh, there's a BBC''4'' in the future? They must be doing well.
* Subtle example in ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1990'', where Raphael leaves a movie theater after watching ''Film/{{Critters}}'' and exclaims, "[[WhoWritesThisCrap Where do they come up with this stuff?]]" (''Film/{{Critters}}'' was also produced by New Line Cinema.)
* In-universe: In ''Film/AFaceInTheCrowd'', when Lonesome Rhodes' show picks up its first commercial sponsor, a mattress company, he goes off script in the {{Enforced Plug}}s to bash its product. The company predictably pulls its sponsorship, despite the surprising fact that its [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity sales went up by 55 percent]] since they hired him.
* The "merchandising" gag in ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'' was this. Creator/GeorgeLucas gave his blessings to loan out some of the more distinct special effects for this parody on the proviso that there be no real licensed merchandise, and the gag was Brooks' way of tweaking his nose about it.
* In ''Film/{{Deadpool}}'', the humorous opening credits has the line "Produced By ASSHATS".
* In Creator/StephenKing's ''Film/CatsEye'', in the "Quitters, Inc." segment, Dick Morrison lapses into a FlashbackCut daydream while watching ''Film/TheDeadZone'' on TV. He spills his drink on himself, jumps up and starts ranting about the movie: "I don't know who writes this ''crap!''"
