* ''[[Winky Dink]]'' is not [[I Call Him "Mister Happy"|another nickname for a penis]].
* ''[[Witch Hunter Robin]]'' is not about [[Robin Williams|everyone's favorite comedian]] as a witchfinder during the Salem Witch Trials. Or [[Batman|The Boy Wonder]] doing the same for that matter. Or a certain [[Walkyverse|former SEMME agent who now works in a toy store]] doing it, either.
* ''[[Wonder Boy (video game)|Wonder Boy]]'' is not a [[Spear Counterpart]] to ''[[Wonder Woman]]''.
** Or a [[Spinoff Babies]] version of [[wikipedia:Wonder Man|Wonder Man]].

* ''[[The World Ends With You]]'' is the name of a ''game''. It is not a [[Earthshattering Kaboom|scaled-up]], heroic version of [[Load-Bearing Boss]]. Neither does it have to do with being [[The Chosen One]] who will defeat [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure|Dio Brando and The World]].
** And in case you use the Japanese title (''It's A Wonderful World''), it also has nothing to do with either the song by Louis Armstrong, or [[It's a Wonderful Life|the movie in which a man is convinced the world is better off without him.]] (And no, the [[Wonderful Life|Trope]] based on it doesn't apply, either.)
* ''[[The World Is Not Enough]]'' is not [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure|Dio Brando's realisation that he needs a stronger technique than The World to defeat Jotaro]]. These "The World" puns are pretty dang easy to make too.

* ''[[xxxHolic]]'' is not about fans of [[Vin Diesel]] and [[Ice Cube]].

* [[Youtube Poop]] is not about videos of [[Nausea Fuel|excrement]] on [[YouTube]].
** Neither is it about blowing shit up... literally. [[Interrupting Meme]] aside.<ref>If you don't get it, "tube" is a term for using a [[Grenade Launcher]].</ref>
* ''[[Young Dracula]]'' is, sadly, not a sequel to ''[[Young Frankenstein]]''.
* ''[[Young Justice]]'' is not about a child appointed to the Supreme Court.
* None of ''[[Yume Nikki]]'''s and ''[[Mirai Nikki]]'''s protagonists [[I Am Not Shazam|are named Nikki]].
** The two also have nothing to do with each other.
* ''[[Zero Punctuation]]'' is not a [[No Punctuation Period|writing style comprised of only letters and numbers]].
** Although, that ''is'' [[Motor Mouth|the way he sounds when he talks]]...
* ''[[Zero Wing]]'' is not a [[Gundam]], no matter how many times you watch [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNIUN94261Q that AMV].
** Nor is it an aircraft with a problem in aerodynamic faculties. ([[Star Fox (series)|Wing Damage]]!)

** Or a smaller [[Zero Wing|Zig]] model.
** Nor is it [[David Bowie]]'s alter-ego.
** Nor is it a spinoff show starring [[Quantum Leap|Sam Beckett's sentient computer]].
** Nor is it a hilarious sitcom starring [[Bob Marley|the spawn of a famous reggae singer]].
** Or the character from ''[[LazyTown]]''
** Nor is it about the character from ''[[Xenosaga]]'' (you want ''Xenosaga: Pied Piper'', [[No Export for You|which looks more unlikely to be released outside Japan every day]])
* ''[[Zoids]]'' is not the story of the family of [[Futurama|Dr. Zoidberg]].
* ''[[Zombo]]'' has nothing to do with a similarly named parody of website intro pages. That's [[wikipedia:Zombo.com|Zombo.com]].
