Line 65:
* ''[[My Big Fat Greek Wedding (Film)|My Big Fat Greek Wedding]]'' has Toula's aunt acting this way when they're trying to trick Toula's father.
* ''[[Daddy Day Care]]'' features a scene where Marvin has to fill in for a professional actor. His attempt can be put in this category.
* A truly spectacular example occurs in ''[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/Super8[Super 8 (Film)|Super 8]]'' during the short film the main characters are producing throughout the movie. During the [[Creative Closing Credits|credits]], you see the finished film, and the acting is ''bad''. In fact, it shows off the acting talent of the young actors in being able to act that badly.
* In ''[[Kiss Kiss Bang Bang]]'', [[Robert Downey Jr]]'s character, a petty thief, is running from the cops and bursts into some acting auditions. In order to escape the police, he goes ahead and does an audition, reading out the lines in a monotone ("Um... beat up on me all night. You want me to give up my client, you can go spit.") until some of the dialogue hits too close to home. Then he appears to be doing a great acting job, but it's really genuine emotion. (Ah, Method Acting...)
* The entire film ''[[The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra]]'' is this way -- the actors were playing the part of B-movie actors in a film, not like the characters.
