Line 123:
** In the 2nd game's prehistoric levels, Gex would say lines from Planet of the Apes. "Dr Zaius, would an ape make a human doll that talks?" "You cut out his brain, you nutty baboon." He didn't even repeat them as Charlton Heston said them, he asks the first one quite casually rather than the accusatory way it was said originally, though the second line was hissed.
* Most parodies of ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue]]'' will name the main character "Ash" and give him his counterpart from [[Pokémon (anime)|the anime]] Ash's personality, when the game character's actual name is Red. Likewise, his rival will be named Gary instead of Blue, and if Team Rocket shows up, they'll usually be the more-or-less anime-exclusive Jessie, James and Meowth. In general, the parody will base itself mostly on the anime, even though it's quite different from the games. Even parodies made by gamers and fans are, at times, guilty of this.
* ''Thelemite'', and '''how'''. It's a fairly good game on its own merits, but as a parody of ''[[Prototype (video game)|Prototype]]'', it sort of kind of resemble the original game if you squint, and seems to have been written by someone who heard a summary of the game and once saw a picture of Alex Mercer.

This is roughly the equivalent of a parody of [[The Incredible Hulk]] that's utterly convinced the Hulk is a [[Token
* An advertisement for the racing game [[Blur (video game)|Blur]] acts like the [[Mario Kart]] games are kiddie games that are about "making friends" rather than competition. Only the complete opposite is true, especially in online races with other players. Wi-Fi competitions can be BRUTAL.
* The movie Dragon Brain in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] appears to be a parody of [[High Fantasy]] films in general, but most of the jokes are about merchandising and CGI, rather than about typical fantasy movie cliches.
