Line 67:
* Stealth Parodies run the risk of [[Poe's Law|being assumed to be serious]] by the management. ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2333349/1/The_Best_Highschool_Fic_Ever_Reloaded The Best Highschool Fanfic Ever!]'' was deleted in its first incarnation because of its spelling errors, which were, naturally, part of the satire.
* The above risk was exploited in a different manner by Farla. Using a pen name, she wrote ''[http://serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?t=105650 Lucki]'', a [[Take That]] aimed at both writers of [[Mary Sue|Mary Sues]] and [[Take That, Audience!|the fandom that enables them]]. She does this by writing a so-called "Middling Sue", not over-the-top in any particular way, who was not recognized as such by the forum community and was in fact praised and defended against her in-story critics. {{spoiler|The [[Black Hole Sue|distortion of the world around Lucki]] is dispersed at the end [[Painting the Fourth Wall|through the influence of an Absol]]}}.
* The creator of ''[[Legolas By Laura
* It's to hoped that [[So Bad It's Good]] ''[[Warrior Cats]]'' fanfiction ''[[Starkits Prophecy]]'' is a [[Troll Fic]], or else a cause to weep for civilisation.
* The works of [[Comics Nix]] are too [[Nausea Fuel|repulsive]], horrifying, [[Gorn|wretched]] and [[Brown Note|insane]] to be real. [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Also, they're]] [[Crowning Moment of Funny|hilarious.]]
Line 208:
** Same with ''[[Fifty Cent Blood on the Sand|50 Cent: Blood On The Sand]]''.
* ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' games, especially the second one (but also the fourth) are sometimes accused of this.
** With good reason. About half of [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|the reason you suck speeches]] in the ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'' could just as easily be directed at the player as they are at Raiden. [[No Fourth Wall|That's if they're directed at Raiden at all.]]
* ''[http://www.bogost.com/blog/cow_clicker_1.shtml# Cow Clicker]'' is a [[Facebook]] game that is a parody of monotonous but addictive Facebook games. Created to illustrate a talk on how these games were the worst aspects of the gaming industry, it [[Springtime for Hitler|actually became successful]], consuming 18 months of the creator's and players' lives before he shut it down, as told by [http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/12/ff_cowclicker/all/1 "The Curse Of Cow Clicker"].
