History TakeThat / NewMedia

* Mario, from ''WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers'', took a bunch of shots at ''LetsPlay/PewDiePie'', Elsagate,'' MLG'', Reaction Videos, [=SMG4=] himself, and the fact that no one can spell or space sentences like these correctly.

** And one to the C&D of ''VideoGame/MyLittlePonyFightingIsMagic'' via a ParodyCommercial for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4. In the commercial, Applejack and Twilight play the game on an UsefulNotes/XboxOne. The console then reports it for copyright, causing the library to explode.

* ''Website/CollegeHumor'':

Look at all the fun here. The dancing, the singing, the bright sunshine. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that this is the funeral for [[Music/{{Lostprophets}} Ian Watkins]]."

* Wiki/{{Uncyclopedia}} has a tendency for this, such as [[http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/index.php?title=Whiny_emo_brat&redirect=no their opinion of Harry Potter]] or the [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Aeris Gainsborough]] [[http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Aeris_Gainsborough_Murder_Trial Murder Trial]].

---> '''John:''' What, I got killed by one of LetsPlay/{{Markiplier}}'s thumbnails?!

** When dunking on Creator/GwynethPaltrow's "[[SnakeOilSalesman Goop]]" business, he asks why it won't stay where it belongs: the cesspool under his house. When the camera cuts down to show what else is in there there's a lot of human waste, a broken furby, and a copy of ''Film/LesMiserables''.

* ''WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged'' opens with one at Literature/{{Twilight}}:

* ''Street Fighter Chode'', a HIDEOUS rebuttal to the much-bemoaned Newgrounds user Rina-Chan (and two of her works in particular - ''Street Fighter Club'' and ''Brawl Taunts'').

* At least one of the Literature/WhateleyUniverse authors have it in for ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''. The typical fourteen-year-old girls at [[SuperheroSchool Whateley Academy]] love the books and can't wait for a movie to come out; the sophisticated kids with the advanced literature backgrounds despise the books.

** Poking fun at ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' and showing why dating vampires can be very dangerous.

** Eddie Cohen, being an not-so-affectionate parody of [[Literature/{{Twilight}} another fictional vampire]], is chock full of these. Sarah, the closest thing to a love interest Eddie has, could also count, seeing as her independence and ability to fend for herself effectively makes her the "anti-Bella".

* ''Website/ClanOfTheGrayWolf 16-Bit Gems'' ''VideoGame/{{Aladdin}}'' review gave a take that to WebVideo/TheIrateGamer for his negative review and this quote in the beginning even says it:

* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7PR3PmcWxQ Ross Scott's promo]] for the Machinima Website [[http://gorillagong.com/ Gorilla Gong]], he states the site has hundreds of videos, and more ''good'' Machinima than anywhere else. It's most likely a swipe toward Creator/{{Machinima}}, which had, at the time, numerous [[SturgeonsLaw quality control]] issues, was [[NetworkDecay phasing out]] Machinima when not outright [[ExecutiveMeddling meddling]] with the creators' work, and also screwed Ross Scott out of his money due to legal and contract disputes while making ''WebVideo/FreemansMind''.

** A big Take That at Wiki/{{Wikipedia}}'s expense in "Professor Wikipedia", who starts delivering a lecture on chemical reactions that has some interesting things in it:

*** And let's not forget "According to Wiki/{{Wikipedia}}, [[Administrivia/ThereIsNoSuchThingAsNotability we don't exist]]!"

* ''WebVideo/SuperBunnyhop'''s Critical Close-Up of ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' has one towards controversial Let's Player ''[[LetsPlay/TheKingOfHate Darksyde Phil]]''.

* ''Hellsing Ultimate Abridged'' opens with one at Literature/{{Twilight}}:

* The LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}} have had many a Take That over the years, often targeting films they dislike. One of their more blatant ones, however, would be in their ''[[Machinima/YogscastMinecraftSeries Shadow Of Israphel]] Animated'' videos, specifically [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYjUrX6macY&channel=BlueXephos this one]], in which Israphel tries bypassing LetsPlay/LewisBrindley and LetsPlay/SimonLane, in this case acting as guards for [[VideoGame/PapersPlease Arstotzka]]. After initially being rejected for not having a matching passport, he tries disguising himself as WebVideo/GameChap [[note]]who was thrown out of the Yogscast for rude behaviour and has since been bashed many times for what the group perceives to be sexist content[[/note]]. He ''immediately'' gets laughed at and denied entry for being "a creepy bastard". It is worth noting in this case that while the Yogscast did not design the animation for the sketch (a fan did that, with [[LetsPlay/HatFilms Trott and Ross]] adding their own dialogue later), they did upload it on their channel, thus approving it.

* Mario, from ''Machinima/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers'', took a bunch of shots at ''LetsPlay/PewDiePie'', Elsagate,'' MLG'', Reaction Videos, [=SMG4=] himself, and the fact that no one can spell or space sentences like these correctly.

** In the ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077'' review Tim goes on a tangent on how, in preparation for playing the game and getting a feel for the genre, he decided to look at other games that something to do with "cyber" and "punk", and as such played Rocky Rodent and found it to be a surprisingly good game. Thinking he could find some other overlooked diamonds-in-the-rough, he tried playing a bunch of other Mascot with Attitude platformers from the time period, and immediately found that the genre's reputation of being not altogether that good was rather well deserved.

--> '''Spoony''': I can't grudge the game for changing with the times, and I don't necessarily hate Final Fantasy VII. I just hate the people who obsess over it.

-->'''Danielle Champney''': If you're watching me die right now, I hope you rot in hell. I hope you experience a fraction of the pain and fear my classmates and I have.

I fucking hope your life has been miserable and I hope it only gets worse. You're scum. You're ''disgusting''. The kids that died here deserved the life that was wasted on you. It should be you here. Not me.
