Line 71:
* In the anime version of [[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]], instead of the manga's motorbikes the Famiglia ends up with ''airbikes'', incredible hovercraft that just happened to be lying around in their base while their genius mechanic/inventor [[Plot Induced Stupidity|forgot about their existence entirely until the necessary episode]]. As with most of the [[Deus Ex Machina]] incidents in the anime, Yamamoto lampshades it with the brilliant observation that "It's almost like these bikes were made just for us to ride them!" Of course, [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|judging by the rest of the adaptation]], it's unlikely Yamamoto does this intentionally. Sigh.
* ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' is absolutely filled with lampshades. Quite cleverly subverted in one episode, when a piano is suddenly introduced as a [[Deus Ex Machina]] and Haruhi asks if it was always there. The other hosts [[Hand Wave]] this, saying that the club's base of operations is a music room, after all. Even though the piano has never been seen before in the anime.
** The manga scene where Tamaki asks what spring reminds the club members of comes to mind. The twins answer "Promotion in grades!" [https://web.archive.org/web/20110430205112/http://www.mangaeden.com/En/Ouran+High+School+Host+Club/4/6/ The two are promptly tied and gagged] with an author's note stating there will be [[Comic Book Time|no promotion in grades]].
*** This is lampshaded again later in the series by [[Genre Savvy]] Haruhi when {{spoiler|seniors Honey and Mori mention their graduation approaching.}}
*** During one episode of the Ouran anime, Tamaki tells the others of their place in the story. He assures them that he and Haruhi are the main characters and so, by proxy, are love interests, and the rest of them are the "homosexual supporting cast." Kyoya argues this later, telling Tamaki that homosexual or not, [[I Take Offense to That Last One|he doesn't think he's supporting cast.]]
