=== ''[[North]]'' provides examples of: ===
* {{spoiler|[[All Just a Dream]]}} Or is it?
* [[Ambulance Chaser]]: Arthur Belt (played by Jon Lovitz), who is literally seen chasing an ambulance until he comes across North. Apparently, he just uses it to beat the traffic.
Line 22:
* [[Enfant Terrible]]: Winchell.
* [[Fan Disservice]]: North's crack... that is all.

* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff]]: [[In-Universe]] -- there's nothing on TV in France but [[Jerry Lewis]] movies.
* [[Hollywood Atlas]]: Most of the segments are horrific pastiches of cultural stereotypes, including:
Line 39 ⟶ 36:
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]
* [[Shoot the Money]]: [[Dan Aykroyd]] and [[Reba McEntire]] appear as the [[Everything Is Big in Texas|stereotypical Texan family]], and sing the film's only song, a parody of ''[[Bonanza]]'', despite not being a musical.

* [[That Reminds Me of a Song]]: The Texan parents sing a parody of the ''[[Bonanza]]'' theme song to North.
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: The "all just a dream" ending means that the highly unflattering representations of the different cultures are based entirely on North's mental image of them, and therefore, ''[[In-Universe|North is a gigantic fucking racist]]''.
