Examples:

  • Galaxy Quest is very largely composed of variations of, lampshades hung on, and aversions of this trope.
  • Sunset Boulevard is a tragic variation, making it at least Older Than Radio.
  • The banjo-playing boy in Deliverance is so described in "the other wiki".
  • The various nonentities and Z-listers who attempt to cross over from Big Brother and related shows.
  • Ann Marie in That Girl, far too obviously.
