* Despite being the platonic ideal of a CausticCritic, Yahtzee of ''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation'' actually detests the WorldOfSnark trope, because it usually means none of the characters in a story have a unique voice or personality, the tone is generally uneven due to the constant effort to turn every other line into a smartass quip, and —since it's so frequently attempted but so rarely handled well— it simply grates on his nerves. He often invokes Creator/JossWhedon (who puts tons of snark into ''everything'' he writes) in a derogatory way with games that overdo it on the sarcastic "wittiness".

His specific point is, especially with Whedon, is that when every character is a snarker, they all start sounding the same.

* ''Manga/NoMatterHowILookAtItItsYouGuysFaultImNotPopular'': In chapter 132, Tomoko mentions that she hates the shōjo trope where a rival girl [[StockShoujoBullyingTactics bullies the main heroine]], only to be EasilyForgiven and become best friends with her; Yuri agrees with her opinion. Interestingly she [[{{Hypocrite}} doesn't mind it at all]] when it's done in a shounen action series. [[spoiler:Listening to their conversation convinces Minami that it would be a bad idea to try to get along with them in order to hang out with Mako.]]
