* From Headinjury dot com we have the following critiques ([https://web.archive.org/web/20131028210045/http://www.headinjurytheater.com/article73.htm part 1] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20131028211733/http://www.headinjurytheater.com/article95.htm part 2]) of stupid ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' monsters.
* For more ''D&D'' monster mockery, visit the [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/dungeons-and-dragons/wtf-monster-manual.php WTF D&D!?] feature at [[Something Awful]], as it takes the piss out of the artwork in tabletop game sourcebooks, usually focusing on ridiculous monster ideas.

* ''Commissioned'': [https://web.archive.org/web/20140509205600/http://www.commissionedcomic.com/?p=243 See that scrawny catperson in tighty-whities?] The player thinks his character is a hulking badass weretiger.
* From ''[[VG Cats]]'' [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=1 You know, maybe we shouldn't be jamming the helpless critters into airtight balls] and [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=45 hemorrhoids].
* Torg and Riff from [[Sluggy Freelance]] do this pretty much instinctively. It comes in handy one time when they need to cause K'Z'K pain in order to exorcise him. He's invincible, but still suffers from their horrible puns about his name.
