{{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.

* 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.

* In ''[[The Simpsons (Animation)|The Simpsons]]'', the creator of ''[[The Itchy and Scratchy Show]]'' is betrayed and turned into a ''bum'', though a [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]], eventually. The guy who does the ripping off, Roger Myers Jr., although extremely successful, is shown to be amoral, cruel to his employees (insulting them and [[George Jetson Job Security|sacking them on a whim]]) and utterly uninterested in the quality of the series as long as ratings and profits are high. Other famous "artists" are near universally egotists or hacks, such as [[Hates the Job Loves The Limelight|Krusty]].

* Andy from ''[[Mission Hill]]'' is another example. There was even an episode dedicated to the fact that Andy was broke, couldn't get any of his cartoons published, couldn't even get anyone to ''understand'' his cartoons, and was working a dead-end job that barely even put food on the table.
