== Examples that need to be sorted by type of video game ==
* In ''[[Half-Life 2]]'', Dr. Breen hangs a lampshade on Gordon Freeman himself, saying that he's just a theoretical physicist, just one normal human. ...Which makes sense, really. How the heck is this one ordinary guy not only an MIT educated theoretical physicist, but also a [[One-Man Army]]?
* In [[Kingdom Hearts]], at first, only Sora,{{spoiler|(and Riku and The King later on)}} has the ability to wield a Keyblade. Later on, in Kingdom Hearts II, Roxas {{spoiler|and Kairi}} can wield one (Hell, Roxas can wield TWO!). In that Game's secret ending and [[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep|Birth by Sleep]], it is also revealed that Terra, Ventus, Aqua, and Master Eraqus can wield them, {{spoiler|as can Master Xehanort and Vanitas. There's even a world full of abandoned Keyblades at the end of the game, suggesting that at some point, there has been THOUSANDS of people able to wield the Keyblade.}} I think Braig summed it up best:
{{quote|'''Braig:''' It seems like these days, everybody's got one of those...}}
** Braig also comments on {{spoiler|Terra-Xehanort's}} amnesia with "Boy, this is some cliché." It definitely starts sounding like a lampshade when one considers that convenient-for-the-plot memory loss seems to be a rather common ailment in the series.
* In ''[[Tatsunoko vs. Capcom]]'', nearly all of the victory quotes lampshade plenty of things, from the character designs (Chun-Li wondering about her thighs after fighting another Chun-Li), gameplay (Batsu mistaking Ryu as a [[Shotoclone|practitioner of his fighting style]], etc.) or even meta stuff (Zero commenting that he wins by [[Power Copying|studying enemy moves]]). [http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/wii/file/953921/59315 Here] is the full list of victory quotes of the game.

{{quote|'''Cloud''' ''(to Sephiroth)'': "Fighting you [[Dramatic Pause|...]] would be meaningless. I'm tired of taking part in pointless battles."<br />
'''Sephiroth''' ''(about Cloud)'': "I must face him and fulfill my obligation." }}
** [[There Are Two Kinds of People in the World|There are two major kinds of villain in]] ''[[Final Fantasy]]'': The kind that want to ''[[Take Over the World|rule]]'' [[Take Over the World|the world]], and the kind that want to ''[[Omnicidal Maniac|destroy]]'' [[Omnicidal Maniac|the world]]. ''Dissidia'' has a conversation between one of the former ([[Final Fantasy VIII|Ultimecia]]) and one of the latter ([[Final Fantasy III|the Cloud of Darkness]]). In it, Ultimecia begins
* [[EarthBound]] lampshades ''dozens'' of RPG cliches. Understandable, given it's something of an [[Affectionate Parody]].
* One notable line shows up near the end of the entire trilogy of Xenosaga: [[Action Girl|Shion]] is distraught after several traumatic incidents occur. A mysterious girl named [[Virtual Ghost|Nephilim]] who appears periodically with [[Cryptic Conversation|cryptic advice]] shows up once more. Shion is surprised at her appearance and says "What do you want? Are you here to say a bunch of cryptic things again and confuse me?"
