It's ALL on the table when it comes to being funny. DEAL with it.

* During ''[[Website/SFDebris SF Debris]]'''s review of ''The Conscience of the King'' There is a brief asside where he lists the groups of people that will be mocked on the show. The list is rather comprehensive. [[note]] "So if you are new here, here are the subjects which are [[AcceptableTargets not shown respect here]]: [[HatesEveryoneEqually whites, blacks, Asians, Latinos, Indians, men, women, straights, gays, bis, the religious, the agnostic, and the atheist. We mock the left, mock the right, mock the center, mock the apathetic, mock consumerism, mock communism, spit on the socialists, laugh at the fascists.]] We'll pick on liberal [[UsefulNotes/BarackObama President Obama]] and conservative [[UsefulNotes/DavidCameron PM Cameron]], along with [[HoYay his wife]] UsefulNotes/NickClegg. We'll piss on the [[Film/FlashGordon1980 Hawkman]], [[Series/DoctorWho Cyberman]], [[Series/BabylonFive Tallman]], [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Saruman]], [[Film/TheDarkKnight Batman]], [[Series/StarTrekVoyager Beltran]], [[Creator/AdamBaldwin Baldwin]], and [[ScapegoatCreator Berman]]. So if you were not aware of it until now, Star Trek is not sacred here."[[/note]]

* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' is famous for mocking every side in an argument. Case in point - in "Goobacks", the characters appearing on a political talk show were ''named'' "Pissed-Off White-Trash Redneck Conservative" and "Aging Hippie Liberal Douche".
** While South Park is (in)famous for making fun of religion, specially christianity, they also made jokes of non-religious people in a few episodes, such as atheists (in ''Red Hot Catholic Love'' and ''Go God Go'') and agnostics (in ''The Poor Kid'').

A number of people have called themselves equal-opportunity offenders when defending themselves from accusations of bias, bigotry, etc, and have had varying degrees of success. The less successful ones have helped make the phrase a tad controversial, if only by association. One point raised against it, for example [[http://www.bluecorncomics.com/offender.htm here]], is that there are far more identifiable groups of humans than anyone could have time to offend. By selecting [[ChurchOfHappyology Scientologists]] or [[FieryRedhead redheads]] for mockery and overlooking plumbers or right-handed people, the show is being less than "equal". In response, one could argue that certain groupings are naturally associated with certain stereotypes to begin with and it's not the show's fault that those prior groupings, however arbitrary they may be, are the ones that come to our minds as the "sides" in question.

In addition, it has been argued that if different groups of people are in unequal situations to begin with, then it's difficult to offend them all "the same". [[note]]An analogy: if you dealt out an "equal" amount of physical pain to every living human, say with a single punch to the gut, then some might feel nothing while others die a DeathOfAThousandCuts thanks to the previous actions of numerous other not-so-equal opportunity hurters — or just from having unluckily poor health.[[/note]] Of course, this argument is itself controversial, and has been challenged as misguided, unfair, or patronizing. It's a [[FlameWar heated debate]].

* The dub of ''Anime/GhostStories'' targeted everyone, including perverts, neglectful parents, Jews, homosexuals, racists, atheists, Republicans, disabled, sluts, and even Creator/ChristianSlater.

* ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'' mocks the sad state of society, the sad state of the outcasts of society, minorities, white people, gay people, straight people, transpeople, you, game developers, religion, atheists, cults, the military, the government, those against the government, foreign art, and old people. It's like Creator/BretEastonEllis and Creator/ToddSolondz teamed up with Magazine/MADMagazine to make gangster flicks.

-> "Here on ''The Filthy Frank Show'', we support prejudice equality: everyone gets shit."

* ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether''

* ''SClub7'': None of the villains, even the sheriff in the ''Back To The 50s'', single out a member of band based on race and religion. They were targeted by a villain because of their ability to foil an evil plot and [[NotAfraidOfYouAnymore inspiring others to stand-up for themselves]]... nothing more.

* ''{{Mongrels}}'' was very free about who it set out to offend.

* Creator/CarlosMencia is fond of using racial slurs for every ethnicity in existence. But his favorite is "beaner," for Hispanics.

* In-universe example: Dr. Gregory Series/{{House}}.

* ''PunchOut'' also has a long list of nationally stereotypical boxers. It also helps that two of said boxers [[SelfDeprecation are from the creators' home countries]]. (UsefulNotes/{{Canada}} for Next Level Games, and UsefulNotes/{{Japan}} for Creator/{{Nintendo}})

* Despite complaints of biases, [[SethMacFarlane The creator]] of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' [[WordOfGod has stated]] that his goal is to offend everyone.

* {{WebVideo/DarkMatter2525}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D1sW7tu6-s If Muhammad Replaced Trump]] depicts the left wing as a horde of [=SJWs=] who hate everything Creator/DonaldTrump says [[spoiler:until they find out Muhammad said it]], whereas the right wing is a horde of rednecks who agree with almost everything Trump says, [[spoiler:but are horrified at Muhammad saying them]]. Trump is depicted as being able to spout out sexism, antisemitism and racism with people only being moderately surprised, and Hillary Clinton is depicted as a robot who puts too much emphasis on the fact that she is female and can get away with killing a man. Even the media is shown putting far more emphasis on the things that Trump says than Hillary murdering someone.

Some authors like to play favorites making one side look good one, while making fun of the side they don't sympathise with.
