* Website/NobodyHere: "[[https://nobodyhere.com/justme/homophobic.here Homophobic]]" has Jogchem pay the doctor a visit, fearing that he might be homophobic and that he's subconsciously avoiding gay people since he doesn't know any. When the doctor says that this is likely due to him not having strong bonds with anyone, considering sexuality is a very intimate subject, Jogchem tries to deduce which of the people he knows could be gay, before guessing that the doctor himself is the likeliest candidate.

* WebAnimation/YouTubePoop in many instances. For example, take any scene, and zoom in on some person or object in the background or off to the side, and make a big deal of it. Another great example is how important the wheeze is from the line "That's 'Mama Luigi' to you, Mario! *wheeze*"—important enough that commenters will observe when it is missing. This may also be used to point out OffModel moments.

In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLhkPTQvMzQ God is Punishing Us!]]", Pat Robertson on ''Series/The700Club'' equates several natural disasters - like earthquakes, floods, tsunamis - to God's displeasure towards an unrelated secular incidents - gay marriage, not forcing children to pray in public schools, saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas", etc. Justified since this is the actual reason in-universe. When Jeffrey fills in for God and uses natural disasters to only target the transgressors, causing legitimate belief in God to sky-rocket, Pat wonders aloud if this was caused by climate change.

* In ''Machinima/FreemansMind'', Gordon dismisses the idea that the [=HECU=] marines were sent to cover up the disaster by killing everyone inside (Mostly because of FridgeLogic: Black Mesa is a huge facility that employs a lot of people, so what they're doing would be a RevealingCoverUp). Many of his encounters with them involve him yelling over his gunfire that he's on ''their'' side and to ''stop trying to kill him''.

* The Website/JollyRogerTelephoneCompany is a company that provides bots designed to waste the time of telemarketers and other unwanted callers. The callers sometimes think that they're talking with an actual person who is doing some sort of gag or running a soundboard simply to mess with them. The ultimate example of this would have to be [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDkGwUvlMrY this call]] in which two debt collectors blow over thirty minutes combined with a robot that emulates Santa Claus, thinking that "Santa" is just a personality created by the person they called to put off unwanted callers and that they can wear him down.
