History TakeThat / FanWorks

** The sequel features a couple as well, including that both Dante and his daughter hate [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic magical talking ponies]], and that the management of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza is glad that the animatronics killed a [[LetsPlay/PewDiePie Swedish weirdo named Felix]].

** At one point Camila mentally shudders at a Cosmic Frontier episode involving salamanders, a reference to the ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' episode "Threshold".

** An early chapter has Prime!Twilight Sparkle goes on a long-winded speech about how the typical TCB plot element of Equestria just appearing in the middle of one of Earth's oceans is not only scientifically impossible but would also result in many problems of its own. On top of that, there's numerous magical problems as well - according to Twilight, it would require such an impractically large amount of magic that she says it's impossible.
-->'''Twilight''': [[LetMeGetThisStraight Is that what you're saying?]] That somepony popped Equestria out of our reality and crashed it onto his? How's that even meant to work? [[SciFiWritersHave/NoSenseOfMass Several trillion tons of continent]] [[ColonyDrop does not make a gentle impact on another world]], [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome not without mega-tsunamis and earthquakes that would level entire cities, followed by a dust cloud that would blanket the world in an artificial winter lasting decades!]] [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse And what about the world we leave behind, what about Equus?]] [[NoEndorHolocaust Would it just carry on spinning without a care, despite having a hole several-thousand-miles-across gouged out of the planet's crust?]] Even if you didn't breach the mantle, creating a supervolcano that would pull the planet inside-out, the change in mass and absence of the Princesses would throw the sun and moon out of their orbits, causing them to collide, or even worse, to impact with Equus itself! [[FridgeHorror Anypony – anything, left behind would die, horribly!]] Every griffon, every dragon, zebra, reindeer, whatever!

* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/44039862 What if Chainsaw Man was written by...]]'' is a short series of comics based on the conceit of the book being written by other famous mangaka like Creator/EiichiroOda and Creator/TiteKubo instead of Creator/TatsukiFujimoto. Besides [[AffectionateParody the one]] involving how [[Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba Koyoharu Gotōge]] might've done Chainsaw Man, these scenarios are not depicted in a flattering light, often highlighting how the most controversial idiosyncrasies of each potential author would've harmed the story. It's capped off with a strip which posits that Creator/KoheiHorikoshi would've made the final battle against [[spoiler:Makima]] over ''forty chapters long'' rather than the three it actually took at the conclusion of Part 1. Its "commentary" section is a big AuthorTract on the thought that went into each gag and the opinions of each manga that informed them.

** The beginning of "A Demon's Wings in the Witches' Town" has a couple jabs at the current political climate of America[[note]]March, 2023 as of the time of writing[[/note]] as well as calling the Catholic Church of the time of the Salem Witch Trials a cult. Jade sums it up best.

** Disney briefly used "Luzity" as a ship name for Luz and Amity instead of "Lumity", which Hooty uses as as suggestion when trying to come up with a ship name himself, Eda saying that it sounds like a herbal supplement from a 3 am infomercial.

* ''[[https://www.Fanfiction.net/s/7042941 Naruto Rend]]'': While Gaara is giving Naruto, Hinata and Lee--all of whom were considered "failures" and "losers" in Part I of the series--a quick rundown of the situation between the Gotei 13 and Aizen, Naruto asks what Aizen's goal is. Gaara and Ichigo respond with [[GodhoodSeeker becoming a God]]. Naruto asks with irritated sarcasm if Aizen has a Sharingan.

* ''Fanfic/AgesOfShadow'': The entire ''Anime/YuGiOh'' homage/parody StoryArc is full of these, lampshading said series' various plot holes, odd plot mechanics, and bizarre character designs. One outstanding moment is at the end when Alonso asks Brenner about rumors that he's intending to start a [[Anime/YuGiOhGX school dedicated to teaching the card game]]. Brenner responds by stating that the whole concept is stupid; how could you build a whole school year curriculum around a game?

** In the closing notes to the seventh chapter, [=MultiplePersonas=] and [=PA2=] state that it's better to have high-quality writing that's updated infrequently than low quality that's published frequently, citing Creator/JamesPatterson as a reference.

** Chapter 20 contains a jab at fics that put an OC or a self insert into a story, whose existence doesn't cause anything to be different from canon.

* ''Fanfic/ThickerThanBlood'': At one point, Ronnie-Anne jokingly asks if she should worry about one of the girls Lincoln lives with stealing him from her, since they now know they're not biologically related. Lincoln, predictively, reacts with utter disgust at the idea of being romantically involved with one of his sisters and asks why everyone keeps asking about him and his sisters in that context, likely as a jab at the infamous Loudcest ships in the fandom... and possibly a bit of SelfDeprecation on the part of the author, who has dabbled in that themself.

* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/14750820/chapters/34268463#workskin To Intervene]]'' sees Tony Stark get his hands on an early version of the Sokovia Accords just after ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron''. One of the proposals he deems unacceptable is the Superhuman Registration Act[[note]]The cause of the comic version of Marvel's Civil War and which Tony Stark supported[[/note]], which Tony states absolutely can never be allowed to pass.

** Kenny criticizes Creator/MattGroening for allowing ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' for staying on the air years after it stopped being funny. He then proceeds to mock the (at the time) ridiculous notion that ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' had gone downhill or was plagiarizing ''The Simpsons''.

** Both Red and Alyssa's father Elliot go on separate rants about Alex Rodriguez, giving him nicknames such as A-Fraud and A-Choker-In-The-Playoffs while ridiculing Rodriguez's absurdly bloated $25-million a year salary.

* In ''Fanfic/ArchenemiesToSuperfriends'', Lila mentally compares her rivalry with Marinette to ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' versus ''Franchise/{{Superman}}''. After talking things out with Marinette and realizing that they'd both had dramatically different views of the situation and that the [[FairWeatherFriend classmates]] whom she thought they were competing over [[AllForNothing weren't worth the effort]], she laments that this is worse than the ending of the ''[[Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice Batman v Superman]]'' movie.
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/22550647 Funhouse Mirror]]'' is one long shot at the [[RonTheDeathEater constant demonisation Alya often receives]] in [[AccusationFic "salt]] [[RevengeFic fics"]]. In it, Alya meets an alternate version of herself who is a stupid, mean spirited, and entitled shrew and is greatly appalled by her, afterward telling Nino to slap some sense into her if she ever starts acting like the other Alya. To further drive the point home, the author says that everything Other!Alya did was based on actual salt fics they'd read.

-->They were being stored in a government building. Apparently UA wasn't considered safe enough, which makes sense. It is a school. It has good security and the actions of the League have ensured that security there is tight and robust but it is still a school. You do not store things that Villain's might be after in a school.
* ''Fanfic/{{Dekugate}}'' as a whole is a Take That towards fans who engage in Real Life shipping and bully others for not agreeing with their over-the-top or even ludicrous beliefs and theories.
* ''Fanfic/MyHeroPlaythrough'': Chapter 36 gives one to all the fanfics stating Shinsou would be in the Hero Course if not for the entrance exam's prejudice towards destructive Quirks. Aizawa carefully explains that not only are both Ojiro and Hagakure in the Hero Course despite have Quirks with no destructive ability, but that Shinsou has very clearly not physically trained himself at all, and is in fact barely passing Gen Ed's physical education class. Furthermore, multiple top ten heroes think Shinso's quirk is amazing and it's his personality that's a dumpster fire, citing how he actively sabotaged other students in a way they couldn't defend against in the Sports Festival. In the end, the only one truly stacking the deck against Shinsou is the teen himself.

** Second, the concept that Izuku can instantly analyze a Quirk in it's entirety after seeing it used once or twice. Ochako mentions that some of Izuku's ideas regarding her Quirk were so incredibly wrong that she smacked him for it.

** An early chapter has Prime!Twilight Sparkle go off on a long-winded speech about how the typical TCB plot element of Equestria just appearing in the middle of one of Earth's oceans is not only scientifically impossible, but would also result in many problems of its own. On top of that, there's numerous magical problems as well - according to Twilight, it would require such an impractically large amount of magic that she says it's impossible.

** Another pot shot is leveled at Chatoyance, specifically at her story ''The PER: Michelson and Morely - The Speed of Right'', where a side character named Victor Kraber reveals that his children were ponified at their birthday party by TCB!Pinkie Pie working with PER agents, and [[DrivenToMadness he was]] ''[[PapaWolf not]]'' [[ItsPersonal at all happy to find out]] about this. In fact, subsequent appearances and references to Kraber make mention of him killing swaths of PER agents, including one incident where he and his friend Kagan Burakgazi stabbed a PER "squire" named Nutmeg Morely to death [[CruelAndUnusualDeath with a ceramic rat]].
** Yet another middle finger is shot at Chatoyance in the ''Case Files'' side story, where it's revealed the founder of the PER was a [[MisanthropeSupreme misanthropic]] [[MadDoctor doctor]] named Jacqueline Dionna Reitman. In other words, she shares the same initials as Chatoyance's real life name (Jennifer Diane Reitz). For that matter, the names even sound phonetically similar.

** While it was completely unintentional on the author's part, the ''Last Train from Oblivion'' side story reveals that the ponification potion only recognizes the biological sex of the human converts (meaning a transgender woman would get turned into a stallion and a transgender man into a mare). As co-author [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/207968/last-train-from-oblivion#comment/5701150 Kizuna Tallis pointed out]], it could be read as a potshot at Chatoyance, herself a transgender woman who's sometimes expressed UsefulNotes/{{Otherkin}} tendencies. Making this funnier (or more disturbing) is that the transgender woman that this is demonstrated on was named Jason when she was male... which is widely believed to be Chatoyance's birth name. Author [=TB3=] later clarified that it was all coincidental, but Kizuna, Doctor Fluffy and Vox Adam all agreed it was hilarious nonetheless.
* The ultimate potshot is leveled at Chatoyance in the story "The REAL Conversion Bureau"; this is because a character named Cat's Eye is quietly removed from a position of power, drugged up to the gills and locked away in the rubber room for calling for the mass ponification of the humans that kept showing up thanks to a NegativeSpaceWedgie. After all, only a small fraction of them were dickish enough to warrant [[BodyHorror the process]]; all that needed to be done was get most of them to fit in was to change the gaudy art projects they called money into good, honest bits and send them on their merry way.

** There are many jabs at the very idea of the "Tyrantlestia" interpretation. Including, but not limited to, portraying her childish and hypocritical, comparing her to canon Celestia, and of course, having her plans [[EpicFail fail miserably]], get her and Equestria killed, if not worse, and/or having other characters telling her off.

* Numerous examples in ''Fanfic/DiariesOfAMadman'', from comments aimed at other works showcasing humanity negatively, to taking shots at the plot of the show itself.

* ''Fanfic/TheRiseOfDarthVulcan'': The titular VillainProtagonist serves to [[AccusationFic point out flaws in the setting that fans of the show have ever noticed and complained about, as well as flaws in several versions of Equestria in Fanfiction]], mostly regarding the actions of the Mane Six and Celestia, and how Celestia is perceived by the fandom. That being said, at one point he also takes the time to deride ''Literature/TheHobbit'' and ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'', seeing both as overrated and running on plot holes. That last part, however, is not the author's opinion, but the character's; the author is fond of Lord of the Rings, and the VillainProtagonist is an arrogant teenaged bully who thinks he's more clever and knowledgeable than he actually is, and his ignorance regarding why the Eagles didn't take the fellowship to Mordor may actually be a stealth jab against pretentious people that have levied those complaints before.

* ''Fanfic/TheFlashSentryChronicles'': At the end of Season 6, the author's notes refers to ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsLegendOfEverfree'' as "the legend that never should have been written". The author has announced previously that the film is his least favorite in the series, due to how it mistreated Flash Sentry (his favorite character), and that he plans to "right the wrongs" that were done to him in it for his adaptation.

** In Triptych-adjacent fanfic ''Fanfic/AnchorFoal'', living book [[MeaningfulName Harem Fantasy]] brings up the existence of the Tsundere trope in Equestrian romantic novels, before noting that such charactrers almost ''never'' end up winning the protagonist's love.

* In ''[[https://m.fanfiction.net/s/10743639/1/Bashed Bashed]]'', the author expresses their hatred for generic PossessionSue Naruto fics which people use as an excuse to bash the characters they just don't like. And how people tend to {{Flanderize}} characters, [[TookALevelInJerkass exaggerate their flaws]], or make them [[AdaptationalVillainy down right horrible people]] as a thinly veiled excuse to bash them when they could come up with much more valid reasons to do so.
** The authors also goes into how fics with the '''Strong!Naruto''' tag are now a huge red flag as they tend to portray Naruto as a [[MartyStu overpowered, unrealistic, edgy badass]].

* ''Fanfic/NewChance'' has LOTS of them, but worth mention is an omake that makes extensive use of BlandNameProduct to point out all the plot holes and inconsistencies in the manga that many fans complain about.

** The Fanfic's take on Uzushiogakure's downfall is one towards its general depiction on most other Fanfics, in which Uzushio is portrayed as a {{Utopia}} with the Uzumaki being an uber-badass TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth clan, ruled by an "Uzukage". In the story, it was Uzushio's leader's delusions of grandeur that brought the wrath of Kumo and Kiri upon his village when he declared himself a Kage and attempted to invade Kiri while they were busy fighting Kumo, with Konoha begging them not to do such a foolish thing, since their forces were spread thin and wouldn't be able to help Uzushio.

** The Chapter 68 omake has a potshot at the {{Filler}} episodes at the end of Part I of the anime. Itachi traps an Amegakure ninja in his Tsukuyomi to extract info from him, and proceeds to torture him by [[ForcedToWatch forcing him to watch]] the entire filler season of an InUniverse animated series, calling them "seventy-two hours of mediocre writing, forgettable characters, cheap animation and nonsensical yet predictable plots".

** There's also another one against the "Naruto retakes the Chunin Exam, but end up fighting surprisingly powerful opponents" FandomSpecificPlot. The story builds up a certain team from Kiri as a threat, who are more powerful than they look, and want to kill Naruto in revenge for Minato killing their parents during the Third Shinobi War. When they finally are about to fight, they reveal themselves and how powerful they are...only to be defeated by Killer B (one of Naruto's teammates) in less than fifteen seconds in a very anticlimatic way. Even if they were more powerful than the average genin, they had no chance to defeat an S-class ninja, much less three of them. To drive the point further, the author mentioned in a note at the end of the chapter how much he hates this FandomSpecificPlot as well as superpowerful [=OCs=], and the fact that he created these characters in an incredibly lazy way: he used a Japanese random name generator to choose their names, as well as writing "Naruto OC" on Google Image Search to choose their appearance.
* As the title suggests, the fic ''[[https://www.Fanfiction.net/s/13117102/1/Naruto-Why-a-Civilian-Council-is-Inappropriate Why a Civilian Council is Inappropriate]]'' not only jabs at the [[{{Fanon}} concept of a civilian council]], but also at how prevalent it is in Naruto Fanfiction and how it's utilized.

** One occurs against ''Fanfic/AshesOfThePast'', when Arceus briefly mentions a terrible timeline where the entire Squirtle line became anime fanatics.

** A jab is made at [[GoddamnedBoss Whitney's Miltank]], which Darkern claims is a demon cow. Though as it was Darkern who says it, how much it was meant as an actual take that is debatable.

* The one-shot ''[[https://www.deviantart.com/alexwarlorn/art/Tobias-Is-Arrested-Yo-569496061 Tobias Is Arrested, Yo]]'' is a jab against the FandomSpecificPlot where Tobias is stripped of his Sinnoh League win. As Tobias points out to the two cops that are trying to arrest him, if it was really illegal to use a Legendary-only team to do the League challenge, he would have been informed and/or stopped ''way'' before his win. When they call him out for denying Ash Ketchum a victory, Tobias admits that he ''admires'' Ash, even if he has a tendency to handicap himself when it comes to major competitions. [[spoiler:And then it's revealed that "Tobias" never existed in the first place; the identity was created by a group of Legendary Pokémon that wanted to try out the League challenge for themselves. Darkrai in particular is peeved at the officers for trying to claim their win wasn't legitimate.]]

* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13993304/1/RWBY-Alternate RWBY Alternate]]'': In Chapter 13 of this reaction fic, the characters are learning about ''VideoGame/{{Kirby}}'' lore and muse how weird it is for these games to have most of their worldbuilding hidden in the pause menus. They then reason that it makes sense for a video game to use that approach, so players can feel free to PlayTheGameSkipTheStory, before agreeing how "trash" it would be if someone tried that with any other medium, like a TV show offloading all the important lore concepts into a miniseries. The end notes confirm this was the author expressing their annoyance that ''RWBY'' did just that during its earlier seasons with the ''World of Remnant'' videos.

* ''Fanfic/CatRa'': Catra turns the sword into a collar in Season 4 to make it easier to carry, as since she has started to properly groom herself, her now voluminous and fluffy hair gets in the way when trying to remove it from the sheathe she carried on her back. When asked why she choose her neck of all places, she explains that carrying it on her arm in the form of a bracelet (which Adora did in canon) would make it way too easy for an enemy to take.

* Netraptor's DoorStopper series of ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' Fanfiction [[http://www.netraptor.org/Fanfiction/viewseries.php?seriesid=1 "The Netraptor Sonicverse"]], contains a few generally subtle ones, generally towards the Sonic [[BrokenBase fandom]]. Perhaps one of the more notable examples would be Amy's subplot in "In Pursuit of Revenge", where she attempts to play OperationJealousy by attempting to go out with three different people, Tails, [[EnsembleDarkhorse Shadow,]] and [[CrackPairing Metal Sonic.]] Tails goes on one awkward date, but really is more interested with machines than anything else. Shadow lets her stay with him for awhile, but is far more busy with his own subplot and quickly grows tired of her. Metal Sonic (who had long since performed a HeelFaceTurn), turns her down on the spot, albeit in the least rude way of the three, as he is far more interested in his subplot and taking care of [[MoralityPet his chao.]]

* The writers of ''Fanfic/JannaVsTheForcesOfEvil'' are pretty open about their dislike of the actual show from season three onwards in the authors' notes, with this occasionally slipping into the Fanfic itself. One such example is [[TheScrappy Pony Head]], who is never seen and only described with phrases like "the worst person you know multiplied by cancer" when others ask about her. Another is when Marco and Jackie go on a date and end up at a carnival pier. Marco notes that if their lives were a TV show, despite just having spent a fantastic time together, this would be [[Recap/StarVsTheForcesOfEvilS3E13SophomoreSlump the moment where they break-up]]. Jackie laughs and immediately says that such a thing would be terrible writing.

* ''VideoGame/FlawedCrystals'', created by the same people as ''The Darkness Between Stars'', is a [[FanGame fan-made text-based RPG]] that straddles the line between FixFic and HateFic. For the most part though, any jabs made are restricted to [[WordOfGod the postmortem developer's commentary]].

** In "Crystal Skies" Korra tells Mako about a book she bought with the gift certificate that he gave to her about a girl entering into a relationship with a guy who practically stalks her and ties her up and whips her a lot. [[Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey Sound familiar]]?

** This story can be also as this for Duncan's story arc in All-Stars. Like in All-Stars a dangerous person is in the game, yet Duncan is more focused on still being seen as bad boy rather then stopping them. This was seen as very cowardly and dumb in the story, with [[VillainHasAPoint even Cedric calling him out on his actions.]][[spoiler: Duncan realizes this and decides to give up his reputation in favor of stopping Cedric, even performing a HeelFaceTurn.]]

* Since ''Fanfic/AsDreamsAreMadeOn'' starts from the premise of a fictionalized version of the author landing in the body of Bella Swan on the day of her arrival in Forks, and the protagonist has read the books (as well as some supplementary material and Fanfic), there are a few instances of this scattered throughout the story. Most notably, when the protagonist Cass explains hybrids to Carlisle, and goes on to explain how vampires and Quileute shifters are meant to have additional chromosome pairs compared to humans, Carlisle blinks before remarking, "All of that sounds extremely unlikely."
* ''Fanfic/ToughLove'': Charlie says that, since Bella isn't good at much else besides complaining and crying, maybe she could become a movie critic, because they do that a lot.

* ''PrinceHeinelVsTheBarneyBunch'': The whole fic is one Barney the Dinosaur from ''Series/BarneyAndFriends''. Think of every trope associated with the Barney PeripheryHatedom, and this fic plays it straight. Barney is a pervert, an actual monster, and an inhuman devil that likes to drain the life force of others and uses his cutesy, friendly facade to get away with it. He is defeated thanks to Heinel slicing him with Sega Genesis console.
* ''Fanfic/VoltesVVersusVoltronTheGodaikinWars'' is the end result of one very, very passionate ''Anime/VoltesV'' fanboy venting his feelings towards ''Anime/{{Voltron}}'' and takes jabs at Team Voltron (who are flanderized into {{Straw Loser}}s that start screaming racial slurs when they realize they're losing to their opponents. And unlike ''PrinceHeinelVsTheBarneyBunch'', which is a self aware TrollFic, it's meant seriously.

* In ''Fanfic/ArchenemiesToSuperfriends]]'', Lila mentally compares her rivalry with Marinette to ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' versus ''Franchise/{{Superman}}''. After talking things out with Marinette and realizing that they'd both had dramatically different views of the situation and that the [[FairWeatherFriend classmates]] whom she thought they were competing over [[AllForNothing weren't worth the effort]], she laments that this is worse than the ending of the ''[[Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice Batman v Superman]]'' movie.

* In ''Fanfic/ArchenemiesTo/Superfriends]]'', Lila mentally compares her rivalry with Marinette to ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' versus ''Franchise/{{Superman}}''. After talking things out with Marinette and realizing that they'd both had dramatically different views of the situation and that the [[FairWeatherFriend classmates]] whom she thought they were competing over [[AllForNothing weren't worth the effort]], she laments that this is worse than the ending of the ''[[Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice Batman v Superman]]'' movie.

* In ''[[https://unmaskedagain.tumblr.com/post/189380874732/archenemies-to-superfriends Archenemies to Superfriends]]'', Lila mentally compares her rivalry with Marinette to ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' versus ''Franchise/{{Superman}}''. After talking things out with Marinette and realizing that they'd both had dramatically different views of the situation and that the [[FairWeatherFriend classmates]] whom she thought they were competing over [[AllForNothing weren't worth the effort]], she laments that this is worse than the ending of the ''[[Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice Batman v Superman]]'' movie.

'''Robertson:''' I'm your best a--''[[KilledMidSentence gets exterminated]]''

* ''Fanfic/MiraculousKnight'' sees some shots at things the authors on Website/DeviantArt made clear they don't like.

** The FanSequel Fanfic/LightAndDarkDEUXTheNewAdventuresOfDarkSoichiro gives one to Website/DeviantART, by claiming it is actually [=DevLantart=], a site inhabited by 'freeks' who make 'krappy art'. It is also said that the site was invented to [[YourSoulIsMine feed souls]] to [=DevL=].

** There's also the pony Catseye, a "white unicorn pony with an orange-pink mane and gold-rimmed glasses". This image is a dead-on match for Chatoyance's profile picture and her avatar on Website/FimFictionDotNet. Not only does she [[MisanthropeSupreme hate humans]] as well as [[AbsoluteXenophobe the other races]] living on Equus (to the point that [[FantasticRacism she considers only ponies to be pure and good]]), but there are also quick blurbs in her introductory scene in the main story that her prejudices extend to half-pony hybrids of other species, and that she herself is some kind of hybrid and [[BoomerangBigot hates that about herself]], taking great measures to keep her heritage hidden. This is a not-so-subtle reference to the fact that Chatoyance is a transgender woman who has a reputation for coming off as [[DoesNotLikeMen rather misandric]].

** The infamous [[IkeaErotica "erotic"]] fangame Phoenix Drive is made in this story by Dahlia Hawthorne, who plans to [[RonTheDeathEater drive the names of Mia, Maya and Phoenix through the mud.]]

* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/22550647 Funhouse Mirror]]'' is one long shot at the [[RonTheDeathEater demonisation]] Alya often receives in [[AccusationFic "salt]] [[RevengeFic fics"]]. In it, Alya meets an alternate version of herself who is a stupid, mean spirited, and entitled shrew and is greatly appalled by her, afterward telling Nino to slap some sense into her if she ever starts acting like the other Alya. To further drive the point home, the author says that everything Other!Alya did was based on actual salt fics they'd read.

* ''Fanfic/TheLightOfAbyss'': When Luz is telling Amity about the [[ComicBook/CivilWar2006 Superhero Civil War]], she explains how it was all engineered by Mephisto as part of his plan to manipulate Spider-Man into giving up his marriage. She writes it off as a petty act by a "complete loser", with Luz speaking dismissively of his ranting about "Spider-Man being more relatable when he was single", which was the official explanation given for ''ComicBook/OneMoreDay'' by Marvel.

* The Kaizo Level Design Contest 2022 level ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4S2HtIWU9M Michael Bay Studios]]'' is a massive one towards Michael Bay.

* ''Fanfic/KedaborysElmoreChronicles'': In "The Hipster", Sophie's idea of the most boring time possible involves watching ''Series/FullHouse''.

* ''Fanfic/MassVexations'' has a few of these, given that it's a ''Franchise/MassEffect'' self-insert with quite a bit of AuthorFilibuster in its lampshading. The two most prominent are barbs aimed against a troll that attacked a large portion of ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'''s Fanfiction.net fandom because he disagreed with [[{{Shipping}} a pairing used in one person's story]], and a barb at film critic Armond White.

* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/44039862 What if Chainsaw Man was written by...]]'' is a short series of comics based on the concept of the book being written by other famous mangaka like Creator/EiichiroOda and Creator/TiteKubo instead of Creator/TatsukiFujimoto. Besides [[AffectionateParody the one]] involving how [[Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba Koyoharu Gotōge]] might've done Chainsaw Man, these scenarios are not depicted in a flattering light, often highlighting how the most controversial idiosyncrasies of each potential author would've harmed the story. It's capped off with a strip which posits that Creator/KoheiHorikoshi would've made the final battle against [[spoiler:Makima]] over ''forty chapters long'' rather than the three it actually took at the conclusion of Part 1. Its "commentary" section is a big AuthorTract on the thought that went into each gag and the opinions of each manga that informed them.

Its "commentary" section is a big AuthorTract on the thought that went into each gag and the opinions of each manga that informed them.

** The fic is a TakeThat to the "Canterlot Wedding angst" fics but in a different way. Many such fics have Princess Celestia exiling Twilight over her misbehavior at Canterlot's wedding. Celestia herself laughs at the idea of banishing Twilight: Princess Celestia is a ReasonableAuthorityFigure who would never banish her prized pupil and a Bearer of the Elements of Harmony over a minor slight. Instead, they talk their fears and concerns out.

** Gene Khan's chapter depicts him with a weird fixation on Mongolia and [[ImplausibleDeniability insistence on saying that it's in Central Asia even when shown a map pointing out that it's in East Asia]], in reference to a reviewer who ranted at the writers that they were racist against Central Asians for making the Mongolian canonical villain Shan Yu behave like a villain.
