* ApocalypseWow: Superman and Goku's fight results in the entire earth being destroyed, at which point they call it a tie and go out for something to eat.
* ArtShift: While most of Superman Vs. Goku is animated with video game sprites, the actual "fight" is just two action figures (the hands holding them clearly visible) banging against each other.

->''"Hello internet, and welcome to the Paul Powers Show. I'm Paul Powers."''
This WebVideo series, hosted by the eponymous Paul Powers, is something of a "nerd culture" variety show, featuring reviews, analysis, and comedic skits. Subjects range from video games to anime to western cartoons and comics. Most videos use video game-style sprites to rerpresent Paul, as well as any "special guest" the episode may feature. The series can be watched [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKo5-ehHfyn_4D8ekbyvOuQ/videos here]].
