* When [[Wes Craven]] read Kevin Williamson's script for ''[[Scream (film)|Scream]]'', he was worried that the line about how the first ''[[A Nightmare on Elm Street]]'' was good, "but the rest sucked" could be mistakenly seen as a [[Take That]] from him to people who made the sequels. But then he realized that "the rest" would include his own ''New Nightmare'' as well, and left it in.
* ''[[The Producers]]'' portrays the cultural elite of New York as being so shallow that all it takes to make the musical of the year is to portray Hitler as an idiot—a dig which can also be seen as taking on the audience as well!
* In ''[[Harry Potter (film)|Harryand Potter]]'', inthe Deathly Hallows - Part 1]]'', there is a moment where a wizard is reciting a "short" list of dead or missing witches and wizards. Among them is a witch named "Ebony Raven,", whowhich almost any ''Harry Potter'' fan could recognize as part of the name of Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way, a [[Mary Sue]] of epic proportions thatwho served as the protagonist of the infamously bad fanfiction ([[Alternative Character Interpretation|or]] ''[[Poe's Law|satire]]'' [[Troll Fic|of bad fanfiction]]) ''[[My Immortal]]''.
* The Hallmark Channel made-for-TV movie ''The Santa Incident'' is just one big take that at [[Lawful Stupid|Homeland Security]].

* This conversation from [[Cars|''Cars 2'']]:
{{quote|(Mater, Finn McMissile and Holly Shiftwell are all driving into a black market inside a Paris alleyway. Mater turns toward one of the stands there)
'''Mater''': Uh, excuse me. What'cha selling here? (The salescar running the stand for some reason has a transparent windshield and windows, as opposed to eyed windshields and opaque windows like everyone else. She turns toward Mater and opens her eyes, which are located on her headlights)
