* A ton of webcomicsweb comics that adopt the attitude of [[Follow the Leader]], usually of ''[[Penny Arcade]]'', ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'', or ''[[Bob and George]]''. Those three webcomicsweb comics alone inspired about half of the webcomicsweb comics out there, with [[Sturgeon's Law]] seeming to be an understatement about their quality and originality.
* Everything in ''[[Sonichu]]'' that doesn't [[All There in the Manual|fail to make any sense unless the author explains it]] has been seen before in so many other, better works.
* Parodied on ''Hiro'' with [http://drunkduck.com/hiro/index.php?p=414050 Lo, the Cliche King]{{Dead link}}.
* Done deliberately and for laughs in Jango's [[Evil Gloating]] [http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0276.html here] in ''[[Darths and Droids]]''.
* The GM's story in ''[[DM of the Rings]]''.
* ''[[Mitadake Saga]]'', like the original game, glorifies itself on Anime tropes quite often.
* ''[[The Black Blood Alliance]]''
* Done in-story in ''[[The Noob]]'' with the MMORPG ''ClicheQuest''
* [http://www.gocomics.com/pibgorn/2003/10/02/ In universe] for ''[[Pibgorn]]''.
* 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.
{{quote|'''Alt Dave''': That's great, but what about the '''''huge freaking asteroid''''' about to hit the planet?!
'''Tony''': Sorry, pal! You're on your own! }}
* Catch a Mad in ''[[Narbonic]]'' not spouting off every ''[[Mad Scientist]]'' cliche ever and you will find a Mad letting the side down. If you can't rant for at least an hour about THOSE[[They FOOLSCalled THATMe CALLEDMad|''"those MEfools MADthat called mad!"'']], then you are sane and don't belong.

Line 330:
* ''[[My Life Me]]'' is this to [[Anime]] tropes '''and''' [[Slice of Life]] tropes.
* ''[[Johnny Test]]''
* ''[[Thundercats 2011|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.
* The first season of ''[[Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi]]''. This was removed in the second season.
* Do ''not'' be fooled by the insect-populated [[Scavenger World]] that ''[[The Buzz on Maggie]]'' takes place in; it is about as cliched and stereotypical as animated sitcoms get.
