* Running rampant on the Internet, particularly {{Imageboards}} and Website/DeviantArt, are [[MotivationalPoster De/Motivators]], which are designed in the vein of typical office motivational posters.

* ''WebVideo/ItsAliveWithBrad'' uses captions a lot. Sometimes it's to show recipes or warn about potentially hazardous processes. More often, it's used to snark at Brad's accent and tendency to think faster than he can talk.

-->'''Colussus:''' Bio-organic steel. Fastball tops out at 220 miles per hour.\\

* There was a very similar thing in the opening of ''Series/TheDayToday'': Chris Morris would read out an ostensible headline and then a piece of genuine news footage would play to humourous effect.

-->'''Caption:''' That would be [[Comicbook/TheHulk Bernard]], and he did.

* ''Literature/FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem'' is designed to look like a photocopied version of [[Franchise/HarryPotter]]'s original. He, Ron, and Hermione have scrawled numerous notes in the margins, from commenting that Hagrid will be getting a certain dangerous creature any day now to the arachnophobic Ron increasing the danger level for [[GiantSpider acromantulas]] significantly to {{continuity nod}}s (for example, in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban Prisoner of Azkaban]]'', Snape claims the kappa is found in Mongolia; one of Harry's notes has the sentence stating that the kappa is Japanese underlined and a scrawled "Snape hasn't read this").

* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Aniamniacs}}'' segment "Space Probed" has an alien abducting the Warners and telling his brethren, through captions, "There are typical Earth creatures." The Warners then rearrange the words to read "Are these typical Earth creatures?" before making funny faces.

'''{{Wolverine}}:''' Claws and healing factor. Currently moving at 220 miles per hour.

* ''{{Help}}'' uses them. The funniest moment is probably when a tiger enters the scene and [[CaptainObvious the caption "A Tiger" pops up on the screen]].

* ''WaynesWorld'' has a scene where Wayne delivers a weepy monologue with the caption [[AwardBait "Oscar Clip"]].

* Used in recent ''ComicBook/{{X-Men}}'' comics, providing a brief, usually humorous bio of any character who shows up, including these two, which popped up during a FastballSpecial.

* In "Wackiki Wabbit," WesternAnimation/BugsBunny poses as an island native for the benefit of two castaways. He utters a lengthy sentence in native gibberish and the caption simply reads "What's up, doc?" He utters four syllables in the same tongue and the caption reads "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party."

* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/LetsPlay/Kurtjmac KurtJMac]] would often use the affectionately-dubbed 'snarky yellow text' to make fun of himself in early Far Lands or Bust episodes. It would also supply additional information, such as when a word was on the tip of his tongue and he couldn't quite remember it.

* ''Webcomic/MattsRWBYJNPRRecaps'' uses captions as the crux of its humor. (Unlike most AbridgedSeries, it isn't animated.)

* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' had funny scientific names for the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote.
