* In 2017, the channel bobvids uploaded [[https://youtu.be/ELEAsGoP-5I a video]] criticising ''WebVideo/CinemaSins'' that opened on a clip of Jeremy Scott, the narrator for ''[=CinemaSins=]'', in his car ranting about how modern entertainment is turning the population stupid. In [[https://youtu.be/sGOXHdf-_dM a follow-up video]] released several years later, Bob notes that he was amused by just how many ardent ''[=CinemaSins=]'' defenders assumed that he was the man in the car and left comments mocking the very person they were trying to defend, especially since he assumed that fans of the channel would have been able to recognise Jeremy's voice.

* In ''Videogame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', it's possible for your Nordic allies to proclaim "Skyrim belongs to the Nords!" or other insults at their enemies despite the fact that their enemies may also be Nords, and the person they're serving is a non-Nord (or better yet, a non-human).
