Line 34:
* Earlier chapters of the ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'' manga feature swipes at numerous Japanese politicians.
** They also take swipes at the last US president and former Vice President Al Gore.
* ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' has Shinji's dad mentioned he's surprised a model [[A Mech by Any Other Name|AS]] replicated the arm-joint weakness present in the real machine, but then notes that it's probably because it's made by Banpresto.
** [[Full Metal]] Panic ''Fumoffu'' parodied [[Gundam Seed]]. In [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]], revenge was exacted by making Setsuna F. Seiei (an [[Expy]] of Sousuke) do a ripoff version of Sousuke saving Kaname from danger in a dramatization.
* The ''[[Code Geass]]'' fandom has a rather vocal segment which feels that the [[School Festival]] [[Filler]] episodes are pointless wastes of time that distracts from the main plot. Bandai's response came in the dub, when during one of those selfsame [[School Festival]] episodes, Milly comments that "Sometimes life just has these little filler moments - and that's okay!".
Line 54:
** The main antagonists of the second season have to DIE to become villains.
** One of the main [[Plot Coupons]] is on a ''severed arm''.
* 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 [[Zero-Percent0% Approval Rating]] extent. No wonder Chiyo's dad was pissed.
** In the dub, Osaka suggests that he resembles "that American man, [[Bill Clinton]]".
** Which doesn't make sense because [[Bill Clinton]] left office with the highest end-of-term approval rating of any American president.
