[[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshades hung]] in web original works.
----
* The [[TV Tropes]] logo!.
* In the ''[[Lonely Girl 15Lonelygirl15]]'' video "Truth Or Dare", the "random girl" asks, "Do you guys film everything?"
** Then there's Bree in "New Girl": "You know, you'd think that maybe, just, just, just maybe, the Order would crack down on webcams. [[Villain Ball|Idiots]]."
* This exchange from the ''[[Kate Modern (Web Video)|Kate Modern]]'' mid-season 2 episode {{spoiler|"Who Killed Kate?"}}:
{{quote| '''Alice:''' Yeah, it's a bit far-fetched, isn't it?<br />
'''Sophie:''' Well, no more than life-extending blood drinking rituals and secret world-controlling societies! }}
* Jonathan Pruitt, near the end of ''[[Three in The Afternoon|Six In The Morning]]''.
{{quote| '''Jonathan:''' Wait, that makes him a supervillain.<br />
'''Travis:''' ... Actually, that's true. Which is pretty cool -- I hadn't thought of that. I guess that makes us superheroes. }}
* In a ''[[DarwinsDarwin's Soldiers]]'' prequel story, we get this quote:
{{quote| '''Shelton:''' This simulation is a little unrealistic, isn?t it?<br />
'''Tinner:''' What do you mean?<br />
'''Shelton:''' Some enemy army invades the base? There's no way that would ever happen.<br />
::That last quote basically sums up ''[[DarwinsDarwin's Soldiers]]''. }}
* Every episode of ''[[Ask That Guy With the Glasses (Web Video)|Ask That Guy With theThe Glasses]]'' begins with a greeting in a different language, eventually leading to "[https://web.archive.org/web/20130924203804/http://www.thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/ask-thatguy/3423-ask-thatguy-episode-user-edition Oh, hello-in-a-language-you've-never-heard-of-and-won't-bother-to-look-up, didn't hear you come in.]"
** [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]] performs a lampshade in the Captain N episode. "I mean, who would be so lazy as to show nothing but a white background the entire time?" after a short silence to let the viewers figure out the joke, he adds "They'd be fucking idiots".
** Ask That Guy also has an earlier reference, when he straightforwardly answers a question without any twistedness.
{{quote| '''Ask That Guy:''' They can't all be funny.}}
** Also, one of this troper's favorite NC jokes. In his ''[[Snick]]'' review, he criticizes an ''[[All That]]'' skit for assuming that, if the lines are shouted, then they must be funny:
{{quote| '''Nostalgia Critic:''' Can you believe those silly writers for thinking something is funny just because you scream it? SCREAMING IN EVERY OTHER SENTENCE IS NOT! FUNNY! It is LOUD and ANNOYING. And ANYBODY WHO DOES IT SHOULD BE SHOT- *Gets shot in the head* Unshot! *Gunshot woud disappears* And given a bag of money! *Money appears in lap* ...How 'bout some lounge music? *Music plays* Yeah, that's nice.}}
* Happens in [https://web.archive.org/web/20130526122243/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/specials/31071-lockjaw this] [[That Guy With theThe Glasses]] crossover review of Lockjaw with [[Bad Movie Beatdown (Web Video)|Film Brain]] and [[Phelous]], with an actual lampshade.
* This is a relatively common occurrence in ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]'', both in and out of character, this exchange shows an example of ([[In and Out of Character|IC]]) lampshading.
{{quote| '''Melina Frost:''' ''(leader of a group called the "Poison Angels")'' Go on then... show him why we're called the Poison ''Angles''. [sic]<br />
'''Jeff Marontate:''' ''(a character facing the group)'' Poison Angles, huh? Oh, I'll give you a whole new set of angles in a minute, my darling. }}
* ''[[Whateley Universe]]'' as well is fond of these
{{quote| "he spread his arms wide WOMP-CRACK!, and I really couldn't let you rush in and pull a Deus Ex, how lame would that be?"<br />
Sara glared as the boy leant against a tree, standing on a branch ten feet in the air, "This isn't some stupid story. Someone could be killed out there!" }}
** Hat Trick as well, though one is a subversion... [[Genre Savvy]] for the win.
* Common in the web fiction serial ''[[Dimension Heroes]]''.
{{quote| "Oh, again with the alleyways! I'm getting sick of them!"}}
* The punchline for [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1ZMbQs9PVY this] video.{{context}}
* [[The Defrosters]] have a bunch. The fourth wall may as well not exist.
** "This is the worst dialogue ever."
** "Our creator knows about as much about World of Warcraft as Pixel Girl."
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbhrz1-4hN4 This] parody [[Real Trailer, Fake Movie]] by the folks at Cracked.com, in which the Tropes used in every Academy Award-winning film ever (particularly those of the 80s-90s) are mercilessly lampshaded. A lot.
* [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Chick]] will lampshade her [[Distaff Counterpart]] status from time to time:
{{quote| "Who's going to be interested in a female character who's pretty shamelessly a knock-off of her already male counterpart? ...heh." (pouting)}}
* In [[Tasakeru]], two characters, a Paladin Grand Mistress and her daughter, both use [[BFS]Big Freaking Sword]'s with [[ImplausableImplausible Fencing Powers]]. It's stated that they're just that good and never mentioned again.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6NY6QR38Jo This video].{{context}}
* Discussed in ''[[Cracked.com]]'''s [http://www.cracked.com/blog/6-reasons-video-games-still-have-terrible-stories/ 6 Storytelling Problems Video Games Still Can't Fix]. When explaining why the [[Heroic Mime]] is the #4 problem, Mark Hill notes: "Also note that winking references to the problem don't actually solve it."
* The page about [[Metasyntactic Variable]]s on [[This Very Wiki]] is filled with blatant references to placeholders both verbal and visual.
