Lampshades hung in web original works.
- The TV Tropes logo.
- In the Lonelygirl15 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. Idiots."
- This exchange from the Kate Modern mid-season 2 episode "Who Killed Kate?":
Alice: Yeah, it's a bit far-fetched, isn't it? |
- Jonathan Pruitt, near the end of Six In The Morning.
Jonathan: Wait, that makes him a supervillain. |
- In a Darwin's Soldiers prequel story, we get this quote:
Shelton: This simulation is a little unrealistic, isn?t it? |
- Every episode of Ask That Guy With The Glasses begins with a greeting in a different language, eventually leading to "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 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.
Ask That Guy: They can't all be funny. |
- Happens in this That Guy With The Glasses crossover review of Lockjaw with 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 (IC) lampshading.
- Whateley Universe as well is fond of these
- Hat Trick as well, though one is a subversion... Genre Savvy for the win.
- Common in the web fiction serial Dimension Heroes.
"Oh, again with the alleyways! I'm getting sick of them!" |
- The punchline for 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."
- 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 will lampshade her Distaff Counterpart status from time to time:
"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 [[Big Freaking Sword]s with Implausible Fencing Powers. It's stated that they're just that good and never mentioned again.
- This video.[context?]
- Discussed in Cracked.com's 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 Variables on This Very Wiki is filled with blatant references to placeholders both verbal and visual.
