== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* The two protagonists in ''[[Bakuman。]]'' start off not so much as losers but as utterly normal high schoolers. Mashiro's uncle, [[Posthumous Character|who is dead when the story starts]], fits this trope a lot more.

== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* An extreme example on ''[[30 Rock|Thirty Rock]]''::Jack directly parodies Alec Baldwin's career. An approximate quotation:
{{quote| "And it doesn't matter if you do movies about important things like sick puppies and the Holocaust... the moment you go on TV, nobody will ever take you seriously again."}}
** There's also Liz Lemon, who is basically [[Tina Fey]] but with a crappy love life and no respect from her peers. The other writers in the show are depicted as frat boys with the maturity of 12-year-olds.
* On ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]"', Chuck Shirley, pen name "Carver Edlund" after directors and producers of the show, is a loser prophet and a writer. Then again, the last episode of the fifth season implies that he could actually be God, so...

== [[Web Original]] ==
* Egoraptor portrays himself as a [[Small Name, Big Ego]] in the ''[[Awesome Series]]''. In ''[[Girlchan in Paradise]]'', his [[Author Avatar]] is ''extremely lazy'',<ref>his stage background is a single line representing the horizon</ref>, he is defeated as easily as most other members of the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]], and he gets the worst beating of any character in the series.
