* This is [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in [[Script Fic]] ''[[Calvin and Hobbes: The Series|Calvin and Hobbes The Series]]'':

'''Calvin:''' "Eh, we gotta have a few of those every once in a while." }}
* In ''[[Harry Potter and The Methods of Rationality]]'', there is [[Once Per Episode|at least one in most chapters]].
Line 101:
== Film ==
* Lampshaded in ''The [[SpongeBob SquarePants]] [[The Movie|Movie]]'', in the following dialog:
{{quote|'''<nowiki>SpongeBob:</nowiki>''' You're right, Plankton. I am a kid. But I've been through a lot in the last six days, five hours and twenty-seven minutes, and in that time, I've learned that no amount of mermaid magic, or managerial promotion, or [[Rule of Three|some other third thing]] can make me any more than what I am inside: a kid.<br />
'''[[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|Plankton]]:''' Very impressive. Now, back against the wall...<br />
'''<nowiki>SpongeBob:</nowiki>''' [on microphone] But that's okay! Because I did all the things they said a kid couldn't do! I went to Shell City, and I beat the cyclops, and I rode the [[Adam Westing|Hasselhoff]], and I brought the crown back! So, yes, I am a dork, and a goofball, and a wingnut, and a Knucklehead McSpazatron! But most of all, I'm... I'm... I'm... {{smallcaps|I'm a Goofy Goober!}} {{[[[The Power of Rock]] rock music starts}}] }}
** And later subverted in the end of the movie:
{{quote|'''Mr. Krabs:''' Mr. Squidward, front and center! I think we both know who deserves to wear that manager pin.
'''[[Perpetual Frowner|Squidward]]:''' I couldn't agree more, sir.<br />
[Crowd cheers]<br />
'''<nowiki>SpongeBob:</nowiki>''' Wait a minute, everybody. I need to say something first. I just don't know how to put it.<br />
'''Squidward:''' I think I know what you're going to say. After your life-changing journey, you found that you really didn't want what you thought you wanted. What you really wanted was inside you all along.<br />
'''<nowiki>SpongeBob:</nowiki>''' Are you kidding? I was just going to say that your fly was down. Manager? This is the happiest day of my life! }}
*** Which is funny, since Squidward [[Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal|doesn't wear any pants]].
