{{quote|''"I love how in old comics, the superheroes will bust out with some sort of sonic device that has the bad guys doing their best Edvard Munch impressions. They always make some comment like 'Luckily, my earplugs will protect me from the effect!' ...It's like eating a bunch of Chinese food then remarking out loud, 'Luckily, my small intestine will extract the nutrients from that meal!'"''|'''[[Lore Sjoberg]]''', ''[http://www.bookofratings.com/arrows2.html The Book of Ratings]''}}

* Satori Komeji of ''[[Touhou]]'' fame will ''not'' shut up about her mind-reading powers. Deconstructed, as this is implied to be part of the reason she's [[Not Good with People|incredibly unpopular with other youkai and humans]].

* Parodied in [https://web.archive.org/web/20121030170520/http://www.itswalky.com/d/20040901.html this strip] of [[Its Walky]], though that was in response to [https://web.archive.org/web/20120721151632/http://www.websnark.com/archives/2004/09/you_had_me_and_1.html Websnark].
* Parodied in [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2007/10/13/episode-906-fair-warning/ this] ''[[8-Bit Theater|Eight Bit Theater]]''. And probably justified, since Thief talking about his common sense and memory like they were exclusively elven traits, and bragging about them, is [[Cultural Posturing|totally in character]].
Line 105:
** A bit ironic use of this trope, because isn't Batman ''not supposed to have powers?''
*** "[[Crimefighting with Cash|Luckily this rare ability I was able to do because I spent my summer in a foreign country on a trip that I paid for likely in small bills as a way to grieve for my parents will protect me!]]" doesn't flow as well, though.
** Batman is referring to a mental exercise. Same way he has prevented Martian Manhunter from reading his mind in several media. It's a very effective technique, it goes something like this: {{spoiler|Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, BATMAN!}} Or {{spoiler|"[[Justice League (animation)|Frere Jacques]]"}}.
{{quote|{{spoiler|''This is the song that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friend.''}}}}
* The ''[[Superfriends]]'' had ''everyone'' narrate what they were doing. For example, when [[Lex Luthor]] blasts Superman with a "molecular disintegrator" and it fails, Superman goes, "Nice try, Luthor. My [[Heat Vision]] will disintegrate your disintegrator!"
