* A ton of web comics that adopt the attitude of [[Follow the Leader]], usually of ''[[Penny Arcade]]'', ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'', or ''[[Bob and George]]''. Those three web comics alone inspired about half of the web comics out there, with [[Sturgeon's Law]] seeming to be an understatement about their quality and originality. |

* An in-universe example was done by [[Real Life Comics]] during a dimension-hopping adventure where they wound up in a world where "everything is a [[Sliders]] cliche!". Naturally, this involved their dimension-traveling device fizzling out, a doomsday scenario, joining and fighting a rag-tag resistance group led by a double of someone they knew, getting involved with and solving the world's problems and a last second escape. Well, '''almost''' all their problems. |

* [[ThunderCats (2011 series)|The 2011 ''ThunderCats'']] trots out well-worn clichés by the dozen, but uses the pretext of its planet-wide [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink]] and [[Schizo-Tech]] to play [[Genre Roulette]] with those it employs. Stock plots from [[High Fantasy]], [[Wooden Ships and Iron Men]], [[Space Opera]] and [[Western]] all get their turns at bat, often while mashed up with two to three other genres. |
