* Jimmy Brennan of ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'' is a mixture of this and MilesGloriosus. He's [[SarcasmMode definitely]] the most badass, [[RatedMForManly manly]], and awesome character on the island who can kick ANY ass!

* ''WebVideo/TitlePending'': One actor candidate tries to convince the two that he's already made it big on Website/YouTube and [[PleaseSubscribeToOurChannel hypes himself up]], despite revealing that his channel only has 32 subscribers and got no videos in years. When the two just ask him to leave, he tries to show his great talent of putting a large rock in his mouth and just can't do it.

* Creator/RossGrant frequently speaks against this when advising actors on building their online profile - saying when he first set up ''Act on This TV'', he made the mistake of sending emails "from the ''Act On This'' team" and trying to pretend to be bigger than he actually was. It's a minor BerserkButton for him to see people putting a 'the' or 'official' in their social media handles for this reason.

* WebVideo/OnCinema: Gregg, in his on cinema persona, considers On Cinema to be a highly respected institution, going so far as to call it "the premeire source in the United States and worldwide" for movie information and considers himself a "film expert". There is little evidence that anyone actually believes this and the one time an actual academic film studies instructor, film producer Larry Turman, is brought in as a quest, he critiques Gregg for lacking the expertise needing to be an actual film expert.

* WebVideo/TheSharkasmCrew divides itself into smaller crews for Crew Battles. AMPS is easily the most outspoken about their confidence in winning said Crew Battles. They never do.
* Jim Sterling, at least the character with the same name as him he plays in WebVideo/{{Jimquisition}}, ends every video with "Thank God for me." He regularly says things like "there you go, I have, once again single-handedly saved the video game industry." Although, it has to be noted that when standing on his podium next to the ComicBook/{{V For Vendetta}}-style background much of what he says is firmly in SarcasmMode territory.
