The Millstone: The Simpsons features a character named Milhouse, whose name sounds similar to this trope.

Bilingual Bonus: Super Smash Bros.: The reason why Mr. Game and Watch's most powerful variant of his Side Special is called a "Nine" is because it's so powerful that it'll leave you saying "NEIN!".

Adolf Hitlarious (Real Life): On 18 July 1944, during a strategy conference in the Wolfsschanze (Wolf's Lair), a fly began buzzing around the room, allegedly landing on Hitler's shoulder and on the surface of a map several times. Irritated, Hitler ordered his Waffen-SS adjutant, Fritz Darges to dispatch the nuisance. Darges snickered and suggested that, as it was an airborne pest, the job should go to the Luftwaffe adjutant, Nicolaus von Below. Hitler took Darges aside, dismissed him on the spot and had him transferred to the Eastern Front.

  • Sacred Cow: My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has a massive fanbase and is widely considered the best thing to come out of the franchise. It also had a massive hatedom at the height of its popularity, but let's ignore that.

Early-Installment Weirdness: Guilty Gear: The Missing Link is the only Guilty Gear game to feature Dr. Baldhead, who for some reason was replaced by Faust in future games.

Ms. Fanservice: Kaeloo, a cartoon frog with no humanoid porportions at all who is also a child, shakes her butt sometimes, so that means she qualifies.

Inspired by an actual entry on the show's character page that I deleted.

When a hero uses underhanded tactics in battle, they're "smart". But when a villain does it, they're a "coward". Is this the society we live in?

Torch the Franchise and Run: In The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part, Rex Dangervest's plan is to banish the LEGO universe to the Bin of Storaj so that no one can ever play with it again. Warner Bros. really learned the wrong lesson from this film, didn't they?

Hate Sink: It is a rather peculiar case, especially in the west, because although Rosa is one of the most humanly understandable characters once you have a complete picture of her character, for some fans her tendencies as Parental Neglect and Abusive Mom are still considered unforgivable and negatively held even more in consideration of other more morally and objectively negative actions carried out by many other characters. Alliance of the Golden Witch, among all the other games, is undoubtedly the one that most contributes to obscuring almost her every saving qualities since in that game Rosa is deliberately represented at her worst. This is the answer to why, despite she's actually being one of the nicest parents along with Natsuhi and Hideyoshi, Rosa is considered a Base-Breaking Character on the YMMV page. note

Inferred Holocaust: In one of the endings of Puyo Puyo Sun: Carbuncle ends up turning the Moon into... another Sun! Sure, it's meant to just be a Gainax Ending, but in reality, if you replaced the Moon with the Sun, the Earth would be engulfed in flames and devoured by the new Sun in a matter of seconds.

Informed Species: Feralligatr from Pokémon Gold and Silver is supposed to be an alligator/crocodile, but because it walks on two legs, has a much shorter snout than any known crocodilian, and has a back covered in large spiky dorsal plates, it looks more like Godzilla if anything.

Adaptational Villainy: The Coachman is a Complete Monster in Pinocchio (2022, Disney) who manages to be even worse than his 1940 animated film counterpart. Never mind that that version is also a Complete Monster. And never mind that his original novel counterpart was also a Complete Monster.
