* ''Slaves to Armok, God of Blood; Chapter II: [[Dwarf Fortress]]''. Actually makes use of Mad Lib names in game: proper names are randomly generated, which can theoretically result in names like "Bloodfist the Scourging Fire", but more commonly ends up with you managing a fortress called "[[Word Salad Title|Seethebritches the Blistering of Whelks]]" and single-word names are the likes of "[[Boatmurdered]]", "[[Bravemule]]", "Headshoots", " Syrupleaf" and "Gemclod".

== Webcomics ==

* ~~Honorable parody mention.~~ ''[[Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|Penny Arcade]]'''s second book: ''Epic Legends of the Magic Sword Kings''.

* ''[[Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|Penny Arcade]]'' parodies it often. The second book is named ''Epic Legends of the Magic Sword Kings''.

** That is actually a reference to Epic Legends of the Hierarch: The Elemenstor Saga, a collaborative wiki founded by Tycho. It does feature Magic Sword Kings.

** Of this ''oeuvre'' is titled ''Song of the Sorcelator: [[Colon Cancer|Return of the Witchaloks]] II'', starring Kiefer Sutherland. And Ludacris.

Line 226:

** Also, ''Lord of the God-Kings''.

** Tycho gets into it a bit with [[Dungeons and Dragons]], mentioning "Shadowfell". When Gabe asks "Doesn't that mean 'Darkbad'?", Tycho explains that Darkbad is below Shadowfell, and [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2009/3/20/ draws a diagram] for the incredulous Gabe.

* [[Dragon Force]]'s songs tend to embody this trope.

** Cracked has even made a [http://www.cracked.com/article_15123_five-most-unintentionally-funny-albums-2006.html word count chart] for their album "Inhuman Rampage".

* [[Nanowar of Steel]] specializes in mockery of metal bands that take themselves too seriously (and/or try to look and sound "manly" too hard), so their albums and songs that aren't named in parody of famous titles tend to be over-the-top examples of this. This approach is nicely complemented with two secondary principles:

# A little redundancy cannot spoil the soup. For example: ''"Power Of The Power Of The Power Of The Power (Of The Great Sword)"''.

# When in doubt, adding "...of steel" at the end can improve ''anything''. For example: ''"Triumph Of True Metal Of Steel"''. Or the band's new name, yes.
