* A ''Manga/Naruto'' ficlet has Naruto attempt to use magic to turn Kakashi into a chicken. Why? Because Kakashi refuses to teach them anything even after Naruto warns him that he'll continue pranking Kakashi until he does. Sakura insists it's impossible to turn someone into a chicken. Sasuke on the other hand.

* Just about every character in ''Fanfic/CrisisEquestria'' has some level of GenreSavvy, from very mild to [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy dangerously so]], and on both sides of the conflict too. Pinkie Pie's entire shtick revolves not only around being genre savvy, but [[RealityWarper changing the genre she's in during battle and taking advantage of the new rules]].

* [[OriginalCharacter Jade]] in [[FanFic/AkatsukiKittenPhoenixCorporationOverhaul]] actually knows exactly which author she's being written by, and what the author's sense of humor tends to lean on. This leads to instances where she quotes a movie, and reprimands herself for being surprised at the outcome.

* In ''Fanfic/QueenofAllOni'', Jade, after her FaceHeelTurn, is FAR more GenreSavvy than many (if not all) of the villains from JackieChanAdventures canon, partly due to her witnessing and/or exploiting their GenreBlind moments before the re-emergence of her SuperpoweredEvilSide, and she even exhibits DangerouslyGenreSavvy moments. Some of her GenreSavvy moments include: [[spoiler: taking Daolon Wong with when she breaks the Enforcers out of prison, remembering what happened when Shendu left loose ends lying around, cleaning out their lair before Section 13 can react on the info Valmont gave them,]] and one of her best was when she nearly managed to get the masks the heroes had (SOLO), [[spoiler: in a BatmanBambit by remembering how the Dark Hand had used Jackie Dark to gain access to the captured talismans, and if it weren't for an OC Section 13 agent with BlackandWhiteMorality (even to the point of FIRING a gun at her!),]] SHE WOULD HAVE PULLED IT OFF WITHOUT A HITCH!!

* In ''HarryPotterAndTheMethodsOfRationality'', Harry is a [[ChildProdigy prodigy]] who spent his childhood a) reading fantasy and sci-fi and b) analyzing everything in sight.
