* [http://images.stupidvideos.com/2.0.2/swf/video.swf?sa=1&sk=7&si=2&i=35586 "Those Poor Guys In Red"] by Vlad G. Pohnert is an excellent compilation set to "Another One Bites The Dust" by [[Queen]] providing an impressive number of examples of why those guys in ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]'' were the [[Trope Namer]].

* The Finnish ''[[Star Trek]]''/''[[Babylon 5]]'' spoof ''[http://www.starwreck.com/ Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning]'' puts the Trek redshirts against the B5 security forces. The carnage was horrible. The redshirts throughout the ''Star Wreck'' series are also given [[Meaningful Name|names that reflect their expendable nature]], such as "Lt. Suicide", "Sgt. Manshield", and "Lt. Cannonfodder".

* Cleverly spoofed in a short ''Star Trek'' parody film, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Y39gHihP74 ''Steam Trek: The Moving Picture''] (premise: ''Trek'' as it would be done 100 years ago by George Melies), where the expendable member of the away team wears a shirt with a target on the back. Also, this character is listed in the opening credits as "Ensign Expendable". For some reason, the opening credits were cut out of the [[YouTube]] version, but the full parody film can be seen [http://www.sisterson.co.uk/ here], under "Films."

* Notorious ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' fanfic author Stephen Ratliff unironically(?) gave us [[Better Than a Bare Bulb|Ensign Throwaway]] in his ''[[Marissa Picard]]'' stories.
