{{trope}}
Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
 
* ''[[Nintendo Power]]'s'' got lots. There's the insistence that Alan Averill is a [[Dragon Quest|blue slime]], [[Chuck Norris]] and [[Mr. T]] being godly, Steve Thomason's hatred of exercise and being forced to review fitness games, Chris Hoffman's love of pie, and [[Butt Monkey|Chris Shepperd being responsible for everything bad that's happened to the world.]]
* [[N GamerNGamer]] is full of them. Including writer Christie's fondness for rats, and ex-editor Greener's... well, Greener Rage. Perhaps the biggest one came about when one of the gifts the came in the magazine was a Wii steering wheel that was WORTH SEVEN POUNDS!!!!
** It's worth mentioning here that [[N GamerNGamer]]- a Wii and DS magazine- has a lineage that harks back through to the SNES era, and a magazine called [[Super Play]]. While none of the [[Super Play]] staffers are still directly involved with [[N GamerNGamer]] (although many still float about Future Publishing) many of its writers [[Promoted Fanboy|grew up reading it or one of its ascendants]] and often reference or revise older injokes, mistakes or staff members, to the point where the magazines practically have a [[The Verse|verse]]. Not entirely unheard of in the rest of gamesmagazinedom, but certainly quite prominent within this series of magazines.
* ''[[Private Eye]]'' has numerous ones, including [[Unusual Euphemism|Unusual Euphemisms]] to the point that a casual reader may not be able to understand half the jokes.
** An embarrassing photo of political journalist Andrew Neill in a vest with a young Oriental woman. ''Eye'' readers will write in with a tenuous topical-based suggestion to reprint it (e.g. "as we are currently concerned about the spread of Asian bird flu, can you print a photographical guide to the proper way to safely handle an Asian bird?") which are printed under the headline 'Photo Opportunity'.
Line 8 ⟶ 10:
** Middle Eastern news (especially to do with wars) is written in the style of the King James Bible and called 'The Book of (current Israeli leader's first name)' such as 'The Book of Ehud'. These segments usually end in 'And so it was back to the square that is called one'.
