Take That/New Media: Difference between revisions

* [[College Humor]]'s [http://www.collegehumor.com/video/3980096/we-didnt-start-the-flame-war "We Didn't Start The Flame War"] (itself an [[Affectionate Parody]] of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire) is a big [[Take That]] against Internet [[Fan Dumb]].

* There's a reason that the [[The Salvation War|Ninth Circle of Hell]] has a spot for Robert McNamara... also see ''[[The Big One]]''.

* One of the biggest Take Thats of all time probably comes from the [[The Onion|Onion News Network]], with their story [http://www.theonion.com/video/victim-in-fatal-car-accident-tragically-not-glenn,14380/ "Victim In Fatal Car Accident Tragically Not Glenn Beck".]

{{quote|'''Aisha:''' "Look at Paris Hilton, or better yet, don't. Famous for being famous, not because she has anything approaching talent."}}

* [[Stuart Ashen]]'s review of an iPhone app

** Superman's reaction to One More Day.

{{quote|'''Superman''': Spiderman sold his marriage to the devil? That's so... lame.}}

** During her review of [[Spice World]], there was an affectionate (she loves [[Monty Python]] and Ricky Gervais) [[Take That]] to British Comedy: "I ''think'' they're trying to make this funny. I'm not sure, they ''are'' British."

** She ''really'' hates Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon. Her ''Teen Witch'' review asks the lead to get the former impeached and her most rage-filled [[Beauty and The Beast The Enchanted Christmas|review]] says it was worse than seven holocausts and Nixon rubbing his taint on a camera for ninety minutes.

* In the [[Chaos Timeline]], Berlin is an uninteresting medium city. And Japan is a poor, undeveloped protectorate of China.

* [[The Insane Quest]], when not making fun of [[Self-Deprecation|itself]], has been known to take the occasional jab at others. One memorable example is when the main characters are sent to Hell, only to discover that the whole place is run by [[Activision]] and Bobby Kotick is Satan.

** Also, the only movie available to watch in Hell is [[High School Musical]].

* The creators of the ''[[Global Guardians PBEM Universe]]'' '''really''' don't like the New England Patriots football team. A football-themed superhero named "The Patriot", who based his costume on the team's uniform, is seen by the general public as more of a dirty-fighting, grand-standing loudmouth with no actual talent, rather than as an effective crime-fighter.

** According to the settings timeline, shortly after the Patriots pulled off the infamous "[[wikipedia:Snowplow Game|Snow Plow Play]]", a group of supervillains (all of whom were major Miami Dolphins fans), hunted down and murdered the entire team's lineup. It was nearly ten years before the owners restarted the franchise, and the team has been at the bottom of the NFL rankings since that point.

{{quote|''Almost everyone will be friends with everyone else, and a good percent are paired up with a member of the opposite or same sex. It is hard to tell the exact amount however, because these relationships frequently shift; there are often fights, and what the teenagers refer to as "drama"''

''The SCP's abilities will become vastly oversimplified, and lose all scientific basis.'' }}

* In part of an April Fool's special of [[Atop the Fourth Wall]], Linkara brutally parodies [[The Irate Gamer]] videos. Basically his video sums up nearly every complaint people make about the IG, such as getting information wrong, acting like things were overly difficult, among other things.

* In [http://youtube.com/watch?v=CvoPmU4gao0 this] ''Random Crap with [[Homestar Runner]]'' video, Strong Bad watches TV. At one point, he comes across ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'', then screams and chants "MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!"

{{quote|'''Up''': Damn that G.L.E.E.! They're always making twisted abominations of everything!}}

{{quote|8. Not allowed to add pictures of officers I don’t like to War Criminal posters.}}

* In ''[[Cracked.com]]'''s "[http://www.cracked.com/article_21978_6-nightmarish-things-people-did-fun-before-electricity.html 6 Nightmarish Things People Did for Fun Before Electricity]", Dimitra Nikolaidou compares the mummy craze in 19th century England to [[The Learning Channel]]. More specifically, to its [[Network Decay]].
