Line 206:
* ''[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/476187 Duck Sim 2008.]'' You can tell the reviewers who got the joke and those who didn't.
* ''[[Army of Two]]''. It has to be. Please say it is.
** Same with ''[[Fifty Cent Blood on the Sand|50 Cent: Blood On The Sand]]''.
* ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' games, especially the second one (but also the fourth) are sometimes accused of this.
** With good reason. About half of [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|the reason you suck speeches]] in the ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'' could just as easily be directed at the player as they are at Raiden. [[No Fourth Wall|That's if they're directed at Raiden at all.]]
Line 301:
* "America's funnyman" Neil Hamburger's entire act consists of being the worst standup comedian in existence and seeing how quickly he can bore or enrage entire audiences. He regularly gets gigs opening for bands who want to troll their fans.
* At least [http://elhombredejota.livejournal.com/16734.html one blogger] has theorized that Amanda Bynes's freaky [[Twitter]] behavior was a Stealth Parody of the site, of its users, and of the news media's obsession with it.
* Erwin Schrödinger's famous [[SchrodingerSchrödinger's Cat|Schrodingers Cat]] was actually intended to mock the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum physics (It originally began with the line "One can even set up quite ridiculous cases".) It has instead had [[Misaimed Fandom|somewhat the opposite effect]].
* Some claim that Andy Warhol's entire life and public behavior is just such a parody.
* The song "Lied der Partei" (hymn of the party) was the song of the Socialist Unity Party, the ruling party of [[East Germany]]. It was originally written as an over the top satire on communist propaganda (The chorus translates to "The party, the party, is always right"). Still, they took it seriously and played it on official occasions.
