Line 39:
== [[Music]] ==
* [["Weird Al" Yankovic]]'s "White and Nerdy" rarely causes offense, as it benefits from the nerdy equivalent of [[N-Word Privileges]]. It's full of [[Genius Bonus]]es, too.
== [[Recorded and Stand Up Comedy]] ==
* Jeff Foxworthy and the rest of the ''[[Blue Collar Comedy]]'' set... especially Larry the Cable Guy, who isn't a Southerner, although the "redneck hick" stereotype, and that stretches well beyond the South into the rural Midwest. (Larry's from Nebraska.)
* [[Martin Lawrence]] is often accused of doing this.
Line 51:
* [[Ahmed Ahmed]], for the Axis Of Evil Comedy Tour, had a bit about how he had to stop acting and focus on comedy because they kept casting him as an Arab terrorist. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZ50K63l4NY His stand up] includes a bit where he got a role by trying to dial the farce [[Up to Eleven]].
== [[Theatre]] ==
* ''[[The Producers]]'' (as well as its film adaptation) does this with homosexual stereotypes, to such a ludicrous extent that there's no way ''any'' contemporary audience could think it was intended in seriousness. ([[Poe's Law|Right?]])
