** When the comic began drifting away from being farcifal to mirroring [[Sonic Sat AM|SatAM,]] it still had [[The Artifact]] of Boomer's name, who in the show was named Rotor. The editors pointed this out in the letters column in one issue and stated they would be changing it to match the show. The next several issues have various visual lampshades hung on this, such as the character wearing a "Hello, my name is Rotor" pin, and nailing a crude plank of wood with "Rotor" written on it over the "Boomer" part of his "Boomer's Shop" sign.
* In ''[[Ultimate Spider-Man]]'': Ultimate Venom attacks an art museum, Spider-Man fights him off, and (as usual) the NYPD tries to arrest him for the trouble. Spider-Man angrily points out that they're being idiots for pointing their guns at him when he just saved who knows how many museum patrons from being eaten. A nearby woman chimes in, "Spider-Man saved my baby!" Spider-Man's response: "You know what? '''THANK YOU!''' No one ever says anything nice, I appreciate that."
* In ''[[Ex Machina]]'', the main character of the series decided to release a biography of himself in graphic novel form. Brian K Vaughn, the writer of the series, appeared in the comic as one of the prospective writers for the biography, and in a conversation, said that he dislikes [[Meta Fiction|Meta]], as it takes him out of the story.
* Mark Millar did this to death when he was writing [[Ultimate X-Men]]. Every time a plot device didn't make sense (the U.S. Army sending ''robots'' to fight ''Magneto'', the Brotherhood goons not recognizing Cyclops, Professor X not noticing that the Hellfire Club was plotting against him, etc.), someone in the cast would point this out. You almost got the impression that Millar was simply trying to apologize for creating so many plot holes.
* A ''[[Justice League of America]]'' comic has the Atom (along with someone else) shrink down smaller than an atom. The person asks how it's possible for them to survive, seeing as how the air molecules are too large for them to breathe. Atom replies, "I don't know."
