Executive Meddling/Web Original

Spoofed in the League of Intergalactic Cosmic Champions with the Evil K-NIT TV-47 Executive.
Parodied in the series Revisioned: Activision, which has an executive trying to force two writers to remake the Atari game Kaboom for modern audiences. At one point, he even flips through a guide of "Screenwriting for Meddlers".
On Gamespy, a negative 1.5/5 review for Donkey Konga 2 was partially rewritten to score 3/5. Then they pulled it off the website and replaced it with a new one (3.5/5). Penny Arcade was not amused.
Caused a literal Creator Breakdown in the production of the series finale of There Will Be Brawl: Matthew Mercer had planned to release it on Christmas Day, but The Escapist (the host site) suddenly announced that it would be released a week early, causing Mercer to scramble so much to finish filming and editing that he ended up on bed rest with a pinched nerve. It ended up having to be released on New Year's Day.
Because Google Ads threatened to stop serving ads to TV Tropes, many pages were deleted (mostly numerous "Real Life" pages, such as the High Octane Nightmare Fuel page).
