** One episode plays with this in the beginning. Three times it seems that JD is addressing the audience directly, but it turns out [[Fourth Wall Psych|he's addressing someone in the room standing]] [[Behind the Black|behind the camera.]] Except for the third and last time, when someone wonders [[Lampshade Hanging|who he's talking to]].
** At the end of the same episode, we get this:
{{quote|'''JD:''':Come on, I know it's tempting to just mail it in, but there's still a lot of people who rely on us week to week. I think we owe it to them to be as inspired as we were our first few years. Now I know we never do great come medical awards season, except for [[Monk|Dr. Shalhoub]], he wins everything, but I still think we're as good as anybody else out there.

{{quote|'''Coyote:''' How is ''that'' for an enigmatic answer?
'''Ysengrin:''' Very enigmatic. [[Shrug of God|It barely answers anything at all.]]
'''Antimony:''' In fact, [[Kudzu Plot|it raises more questions than before]].
'''Coyote:''' Hahaha! Aw come on, I can't tell you ''everything'' right away! That would make for a boring story, don't you think? }}
* ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'' [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20040929.html features an amusing] [[Lampshade Hanging]]:
Line 504:
'''Hermes''': Sweet coincidence of Port-Au-Prince! We're back at Earth!
'''Professor Farnsworth''': Of course! That was the Panama Wormhole, Earth's central channel for shipping!
'''Zoidberg''': [[Annoying Laugh|Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh.]] How humourous.
'''Professor Farnsworth''': Yes, it's sort of a [[Comedy Central|'Comedy' central]] channel. And we're on it now!
''[[Beat]]''
'''Amy''': ''(gasps)'' I get it! }}
