* The ''[[Excel Saga (anime)|Excel Saga]]'' anime played this with pretty much every episode being a parody of a certain genre. Everything from War Movies, to Dating Sims, to Sports, to Variety Shows to Post-Apocalyptic is given a once over. |

* ''[[Brigadoon Marin and Melan]]'' is a sci-fi adventure drama, but it's also a middle-school [[Slice of Life]] show, a comedy with occasional parodic elements, and a teen romance.

Serious [[Mood Whiplash]] may result. |
