Writer Revolt if you're venting about the show's own Troubled Production, such as in the Ren and Stimpy episodes.
Probably just Write What You Know for writing about negative experiences from previous workplaces, and may also be a Take That! at these specific industries.
Not sure if we have a specific plot trope for this kind of thing, rather than just trivia items.
Edited by mightymewtron I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
A plot in which the author writes about their experience working in "The Industry". May be autobiographical, may be a simple case of them venting through fiction, or may be a simple Be Careful What You Wish For. May even be explaining the Troubled Production of something.
- The Jungle: Sinclair worked undercover at a real life meat packing plant and based his work off of it.
- Ren & Stimpy had about two episodes in which the staff were vented about John K.
- The book Retail Hell
by Freeman Hall is him sharing stories about his Soul-Sucking Retail Job.
- A common subject for "Animated storytime" videos, in particular TheOdd1sOut and JaidenAnimations both did a few stories about their part time jobs.
- Bakuman。 is about people working in the Manga and anime industries, showcasing some less than glamourous aspects.
- Hearts of Darkness is about the Troubled Production of Apocalypse Now.
