** Episode 5 of the first season shows Kafuka Fuura in an "[[Lucky Star|Unlucky Channel]]" set, which also acts as an [[Actor Allusion]] ([[Ai Nonaka|Kafuka's seiyuu]] voiced Akira Kogami in said show's Drama CD and DS game adaptations).

** Of course, since this ''is'' a satire series, it's loaded with [[Take That|Take Thats]], from [[Michael Jackson]] to corporate sponsorship naming rights. They're also not as insulting as normal [[Take That|Take Thats]] are. And as if to leverage their external criticisms, the show is also fond of [[Self-Deprecation]], both towards the show itself, Koji Kumeta (the author) and [[Studio Shaft]].

* One episode of ''[[Dancougar]] Nova'' features a blatant [[Eagle Land]] Type 2 general who does everything but foam at the mouth as his [[Humongous Mecha]] crushes Dancougar, declaring that [[Might Makes Right|because his country is strong, they get to decide what's right]]. It also has a reporter outright say "The Iraq War was fought over oil."

* The main female character of ''[[Paranoia Agent]]'' looks and acts like an adult version of Osaka from ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'', and this was part of the creator's attack on Japan's [[Useful Notes/Kawaisa|love of cuteness.]]

* In [[Maria Holic]], Mariya chastises Kanako for mistaking a cross necklace for a rosary, describes what an ''actual'' rosary is supposed to look like and be used for, and points out that they're not meant to be worn as jewellery -- i.e. a series of swipes at [[Mariasama ga Miteru]].

* In ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'', [[Mega Neko|Chiyo's father]] has the [[Berserk Button]] of people not believing that he is a cat. However, he is especially angered when Osaka thinks that he looks like the former Prime Minister, [[wikipedia:Yoshiro Mori|Mori]]. As indicated in the link, Mori was really unpopular, to a near [[0% Approval Rating]] extent. No wonder Chiyo's dad was pissed.

* [[Hunter X Hunter]] has some fairly blatant ones against the government of North Korea. The repressive Republic of East Gorteau is run by a guy whose name is an anagram of Kim Jong-Il, and he gets eaten by a giant ant shortly after being introduced (and after the giant ant makes a little speech about how pathetic the dictator is).

* [[Go Nagai]] is responsible for one of the biggest take thats in the history of manga if not one of the biggest take thats in general. After PTA forced Shonen Jump to end his debutant series ''Schameless School'', Go Nagai finished series by having titular school attacked by PTA and all characters killed while fighting evil forces of censorship.

* ''[[Team Medical Dragon]]'' is one massive Take That to the Japanese Medical System, there is generally more focus on the politics of the profession than the actual medicine. That makes the original writer's death from [[Death by Irony|Liver Cancer complications]] all the more poignant.

* In The English dub of ''[[Dragon Ball Kai]]'', Goku references the CW turning Mr. Popo blue by pondering what the dragon on Namek will look like, adding "Maybe he's blue."

* The Funimation dub of [[One Piece]] will sometimes go above and beyond even the original Japanese with their language and adult references (Such as alchohol), some of the more pointed, out of the blue ones are very likely to be take thats towards 4Kids and [[Bowdlerize|their dub]].
