* ''[[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'.
