* VideoGame.LollipopChainsaw: TakeThat: Upon finding a bunch of jock zombies on treadmills, Nick and Juliet trade quips about how [[ZombieGait running zombies]] [[VideoGame/Left4Dead are]] [[YourVampiresSuck stupid]]... which happens after fighting zombies that run, jump, fly, and can turn profanities into lasers. This is a joke at James Gunn's own expense, since he wrote the 2004 ''Dawn of the Dead'' remake, which popularized the fast, running zombie. '''OurZombiesAreDifferent?'''
* Webcomic.DownTheStreet: Suggested inner confrontation between Dracula’s vampiric concept, the Vampire Chronicles’ one and Twilight’s one. '''TakeThat towards ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga''.'''
* WesternAnimation.HotelTransylvania: Dracula doesn't like how a certain [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga in-flight movie]] represents vampires. '''TakeThat towards ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga''.'''
--> '''Dracula:''' ''This'' is how we are represented? Unbelievable.
* YMMV.GuiltyGear: MemeticBadass: Slayer. This is the guy who regularly takes characters like ''Sol'' to the cleaners [[WillfullyWeak while extensively holding back]] [[SpiritedCompetitor to be a good sport]]. Even then is he capable of feats like [[MegatonPunch punching you halfway to the Andromeda Galaxy]]. None of this accounts for the fact that [[YourVampiresSuck he has none of the weaknesses vampires are traditionally known for]]. Really, Slayer's badassery isn't so much memetic as it is canon.

* CannotCrossRunningWater: The New World version, ''TabletopGame/VampireTheRequiem'', at one point [[YourVampiresSuck mentions how screwed vampires would be in the modern age if that were true]], as every First World city has rivers worth of water flowing under every street and house. '''OurVampiresAreDifferent?'''
* Characters.TheCampHalfBloodSeriesForcesOfGaia: Kelli's speech says it all. '''OurVampiresAreDifferent'''
--> "That silly legend was based on us, you fool. We are ''empousai'', servants of Hecate."
* Literature.FoolMoon: Bob makes fun of movie werewolves. While the setting's [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolves take almost every form you can think of]], none of them are "[[ViralTransformation contagious]]", and Bob has to repeatedly remind Harry that "Hollywood stole that from vampires." The majority of modern werewolf tropes originate with the Loup-Garou. '''OurWerewolvesAreDifferent?'''
* Literature.TheTomeOfBill: Towards Creator/AnneRice and Literature/{{Twilight}}.
* Recap.BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E7LieToMe: Angel grouses at moderate length about the kids' misapprehensions about vampires, including how they dress...only to have one of the groupies push past him wearing his exact outfit. '''WrongGenreSavvy'''

'''Contextless pothole in "Conrad".'''
* TheTwilightZone1985.TropesAToH: DaywalkingVampire: In "Monsters!", the vampire Emile Francis Benedictson can spend as much time in the sunlight as any human. He tells Toby Michaels that, [[YourVampiresSuck contrary to how they are depicted in monster movies]], vampires are immune to the effects of UsefulNotes/TheSun. '''OurVampiresAreDifferent'''
* Literature.DianaTregarde: In ''Children of the Night'', vampire Andre dismisses several traditional limitations as "silliness," in particular [[CannotCrossRunningWater the inability to cross running water]], which he ascribes to a misunderstanding of their tendency to set territorial boundaries. He tells Diana that it could just as easily be said that they do not cross mountain ranges or major highways, since they define their territories by major landmarks. '''OurVampiresAreDifferent'''
* Literature.LonelyWerewolfGirl: CausticCritic / [[YourVampiresSuck Your Werewolves Bite]]: Kalix reviewing a werewolf comic book for class: '''WrongGenreSavvy regarding a ShowWithinAShow?'''
-->"The artist has no idea what a werewolf looks like and should be forbidden to draw anything ever again, and also sent to prison. The editor of this comic is obviously mentally defective for letting such rubbish go into print. The story is the most stupid story ever written, and the heroine, Arabella Wolf, is the most annoying person ever. She should be punched in the face. Also, it's not true that werewolves eat children. Very few children have ever been eaten by werewolves. Maybe one or two, but it's not a big problem. The comic should be withdrawn from sale before it poisons people's minds."
* Film.TheTrollHunter: Hans explicitly mentions the Norwegian stories about trolls collected by Asbjornsen and Moe (the Norwegian equivalents to Creator/TheBrothersGrimm) as being mostly fairy tales with wildly inaccurate information. '''WrongGenreSavvy'''
* Fanfic.InShortsupply: {{OC}}: Many, most notably Zim and Purple's children, as well as [[YourVampiresSuck Count Gwaednerth]], [[SadistTeacher Ms. Airy]] and [[HumanoidAbomination Miss Fhtagn]]. '''Contextless pothole in "Count Gwaednerth".'''
* Characters.DiscworldVillains: The Magpyrs practice this InUniverse toward their fellow vampires. '''Low-context, but seems to be FantasticRacism?'''
* KryptoniteFactor: Over the centuries vampires have managed to accumulate a truly impressive list of traditional kryptonite factors (rivaled only by that of [[PunyEarthlings squishy humans]]), to the point that most writers have to {{nerf}} or outright ignore several of them [[OurVampiresAreDifferent to make vampires]] [[YourVampiresSuck pose any sort of threat]]. '''Chained sinkhole with OurVampiresAreDifferent, and it doesn't seem to be much different in this context.'''
* Characters.TouhouKoumakyouTheEmbodimentOfScarletDevil: Remilia actually likes [[CreepyCrosses cross imagery]], and can't fathom why she should be weak to them. Her spell card "Red: The Nightless Castle" appears as a towering crimson cross. She also seems to be perfectly fine with holy water. One of her win quotes in the fighting games is to ask Reisen to make her some holy water dumplings. '''OurVampiresAreDifferent'''
* Funny.HellsingUltimateAbridged: During the first few minutes of the series, Alucard kills [[Literature/{{Twilight 2005}} Edward Cullen]]. Also doubles as an SugarWiki/AwesomeMoment. '''TakeThat towards ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga''.'''
-->'''Edward Cullen:''' ''(answers the door)'' Who is it?\\
'''Alucard:''' Oh, you know... ''(shoots Edward Cullen ''thirty-seven times'')'' [[YourVampiresSuck A real fucking vampire!]]

* OurVampiresAreDifferent.MarvelUniverse: A sample of some others: Nosferatu's ilk are like Dracula but look ugly when using the full extent of their power. Adze, found primarily in Guyana, ignore pain to the point they keep going even as they ''burn away''. Charniputra mostly fly above the Himalayas with their great wings, spending almost all non feeding time in the sky. Charniputra also have a tough hide that's hard to damage without the weaknesses. Yuki Onna, the snow vampires of Nippon, spend their time as clouds of razor sharp ice, turning into a humanoid form to feed. Tryks drink other vampires and have none of the weaknesses, they also have retractable claws and spikes. The spikes inject venom that stops vampires from fading away after dying and the drained corpse becomes Tryk larva, which find human hosts to leech off of until adulthood. Queen Tryks have wings and can fly. Aqueos are more like fish people, spending most of their time in the ocean depths where the sun can't get them. ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'' has vampires that [[YourVampiresSuck specifically don't work like]] vampires in ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. The only weakness they carry is sunlight and [[EnergyBeings aliens that]] [[EverythingsBetterWithRainbows taste like rainbows]]. '''OurVampiresAreDifferent (though possible also WrongGenreSavvy; it says they "specifically don't work like vampires in ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''"; don't know if said comparison is made InUniverse or not).'''
