* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv0oMeeVnCI&feature=player_embedded Aksys does this with style when] [[Atlus|Atlus USA]] asks a question to promote the [[Catherine]] trailer video. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|They instead promoted]] ''[[Record of Agarest War Zero]]''.
* Of all games, [[Thunder Force]] VI. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpZ_abn22rI&feature=related The final boss] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXL5pIPKzyI&feature=related of the game] was designed after an [[Eldritch Abomination]] in a manga created by the director of the game.
* [[Toby Fox]] is probably ''still'' busy getting ''[[Undertale]]'', the (absolute "pop culture" ''behemoth'' of a) game for which he is most likely a [[One-Hit Wonder]], ported onto [[Port Overdosed|basically every system that it possibly ''can'' be ported onto]] (as if the game's title, not to mention its extremely excessive fame, wasn't already reminiscent enough of ''[[Cave Story]]'', mind you), in addition to the fact that the ''original'' version of ''Undertale'' was probably deliberately made (story-wise, at least) to cause/create the absolute largest number of Internet memes imaginable.
* In ''[[Street Fighter]]'', Dan Hibiki is an in-universe one; ''[[Street Fighter IV]]'' shows him appearing in a commercial about himself and bragging about himself so much that [[Epic Fail|he somehow causes himself to forget to mention the address of the dojo that he is supposed to be talking about in said commercial in the process]], while ''[[Street Fighter V]]'' shows him making an entire toy line (the Saikyo Boys) about himself.

Line 75 ⟶ 77:
** Also, [[Fur Affinity]], and just about any [[Web Comic]] you've actually heard of.
* There is one of the many people "inspired" by the Angry Video Game Nerd to make reviews of video games for Youtube who shall not be named. The difference? Any forum related to video game "reviews" has been visited by him and several alternate accounts, each creating threads solely linking to his work. The [[That Guy With The Glasses]] forum once had four topics consisting of the same links to his material. If his name or Youtube username is mentioned on anywhere on any forum, he will immediately insult long-time members yet simultaneously set up a separate account to link others to his work. He is known to spam other popular "reviews" with links to his videos and responds to any messages directed at himself with anger and [[Small Name, Big Ego|self-righteous egoism]]. When another user made fun of him in a video, the amount of comments he made to the video infamously ''numbered more than the actual video's total views.'' Note that he once promoted himself [http://metokur.org/forum/index.php/topic,727.0.html in a forum thread created to point out his shamelessness.]
** And adding to his [[Small Name, Big Ego|self-righteous
*** So, he's essentially [[Candle Jack]], only he insults people
* Try reading the comments on a [[YouTube]] video sometime. Guaranteed, you will see someone either trying to shill either their own videos or another website.
* On the video game music podcast [[Nitro Game Injection]], Larry Oji never wastes an opportunity to mention [[OverClocked Remix]]. This isn't so surprising, considering he's the Head Submissions Evaluator of the site.
** This is [[Lampshaded]] in the website description for episode 118, in which it's suggested that the listener [[Drinking Game|takes a shot every time Larry mentions OCR.]]
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20201019221238/https://horrible-music-and-songs.fandom.com/wiki/Submarine_Man Submarine Man], despite being a barely-even-existent SoundCloud joke artist who is easily one of ''the'' worst rappers (and most painfully unfunny music parodists, not to mention most utterly shameless copyright thieves) of all time, has made numerous [[So Bad It's Horrible|"songs"]] that basically do ''nothing'' but brag about [[Small Name, Big Ego|how "great" he is]] and [[Author Appeal|how sexy/smelly his (favorite types of) feet are]]. In fact, he eventually even went as far as to call himself a better rapper than (freaking) [[Eminem]] in "Go Dumb" (one of his many unbelievably terrible "songs").
* [https://satina.fandom.com/wiki/Hannah_Daigle Hannah Daigle]'s ''[[Satina (Wants a Glass of Water)]]'' series currently only has one actual episode and two pilot shorts, yet it already has its own merchandise and an incredibly large amount of fan art that (includes fan comics and) was made by Hannah herself.
* Back when SammyClassicSonicFan was a downright insane troll rather than being an actually normal (or, at least, relatively normal) YouTuber, he ''constantly'' bragged about how he was "the #1 Mario/Sonic fan"...
** ...then whined about how [[Hypocritical Humor|people needed to stop calling him a Nintendo fanboy]].
== Western Animation ==
* [[John Kricfalusi]] is/was a ''completely''-[[Insufferable Genius|insufferably]] massive one of these for ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show]]'', to the point where he has quite-frequently belittled numerous cartoons that are blatantly superior to it in numerous ways (''[[Rocko's Modern Life]]'' when it comes to social satire and "all ages" appeal, ''[[Animaniacs]]'' when it comes to having [[Stylistic Suck|''actually'' good-looking]] animation, ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'' when it comes to story-telling, ''[[South Park]]'' when it comes to ''not'' severely over-using [[Refuge in Vulgarity]], et cetera) just because said shows don't perfectly match the style of ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' like how ''R&S'' (not counting its ''APC'' spin-off) does. Sadly enough, his overall attitude about animation is basically a [[Logical Extreme]] of the one that many actual animation-criticizing specialists have about it.
* This is a rather minor example when compared to the John K one on this page, but [[Joe Murray]] once outright stated that ''every single episode'' of ''[[Rocko's Modern Life]]'' (including the numerous blatant duds in Season 4) was "top-notch".
** Not to mention the fact that said (generally [[Sacred Cow|''highly'' over-rated]]) show's theme song [[Title Scream|''very''-enthusiastically yells the title of the show itself]] three times in (basically) a row (in Season 1), followed by six times in (literally) a row (in Seasons 2-4).
* [[Nickelodeon]] and [[Viacom]] themselves are absolutely ''gargantuan'' SSPs for ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'', in addition to the show itself having a theme song that [[Title Scream|''very''-loudly yells its main character's name]] eight times in (basically) a row.
** However, this example is actually somewhat justified by ''SBSP'' being big enough of a "pop culture" hit to actually pretty-closely rival how [[Seasonal Rot|(in)]]famous ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' and ''[[The Simpsons]]'' are.
