* ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'' has the creepiest television ever. Cookery shows which use benzene! Advertising which emphasizes self-poisoning! The least creepy was the [[Celebrity Paradox]]-causing "Celebrity Moralist" short, and even that was horrible.

* The ''[[Max Payne (series)|Max Payne]]'' series had several shows you could watch, reaching its peak in ''Max Payne 2''. "Address Unknown" was a creepy psychological thriller that surreally paralleled Max's own struggle, and "Lords and Ladies" was a costume drama/soap opera, both of which had their own story arcs that progressed throughout the game. "Dick Justice" was a blaxploitation spoof of the first ''Max Payne''. There was also "Captain Baseball Bat Boy," one of Vinnie Gognitti's favorites, actually a multi-media franchise that appears frequently as a comic series in the first game. In addition to that, a room in Woden's secret [[Head-Tiltingly Kinky|S&M dungeon]] in the ASGARD building in the first game allows you to tune in to an episode of a Star Trek knockoff. ''Max Payne 2'' also briefly featured a TV depicting a porn movie called ''Max Heat 8''.

:Something worthy of note is that every new TV you come across during ''Max Payne 2'' has a new episode of a certain show. After it ends (or if you turn it off and back on), only commercials play, so it's impossible to watch everything in one "sitting".

* [[No More Heroes]] featured Travis's TV where he could watch wrestling videos to learn new moves. The player however, couldn't see the actual footage. In ''[[No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle]]'', you could watch the E3 trailer, play a game based on Travis's favorite anime, Pure White Lover Bizarre Jelly, and also watch a video of the [[Moe]] show.
