Executive Meddling/Web Original

Examples of in  include:


 * Spoofed in the League of Intergalactic Cosmic Champions with the Evil K-NIT TV-47 Executive.
 * Parodied in the series Revisioned: Activision, which has an executive trying to force two writers to remake the Atari game Kaboom for modern audiences. At one point, he even flips through a guide of "Screenwriting for Meddlers".
 * On Gamespy, a negative 1.5/5 review for Donkey Konga 2 was partially rewritten to score 3/5. Then they pulled it off the website and replaced it with a new one (3.5/5). Penny Arcade was not amused.
 * Caused a literal Creator Breakdown in the production of the series finale of There Will Be Brawl: Matthew Mercer had planned to release it on Christmas Day, but The Escapist (the host site) suddenly announced that it would be released a week early, causing Mercer to scramble so much to finish filming and editing that he ended up on bed rest with a pinched nerve. It ended up having to be released on New Year's Day.
 * Because Google Ads threatened to stop serving ads to TV Tropes, many pages were deleted (mostly numerous "Real Life" pages, such as the High Octane Nightmare Fuel page).
