Line 10:
* The ''[[Zero Punctuation]]'' video for [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/108-Webcomics July 2nd, 2008] is one enormous [[Take That]] at webcomics in general but ''[[Ctrl+Alt+Del]]'' in particular. Which seems sort of redundant considering he's already done a review of it.
** He also had a not-too-terribly subtle jab at Gamespot in his video response to the SSBB fandom backlash, regarding their [[8.8|firing a reviewer for giving "Kane & Lynch" a bad score]]:
{{quote|
** His "review" of ''[[Duke Nukem Forever]]'' is essentially a [[Take That]] against the whole series and anyone who's still a fan of it.
*** And ''especially'' the developers and producers.
* [[The Spoony Experiment|The Spoony One]], in a parody of a scene in [[Final Fantasy VIII]] during his review of it, dreams of an alternate version of himself tearing [[Final Fantasy VII]] a new one, one of the reasons for doing so being that he enjoys [[Fan Dumb|pissing off creepy fan-boys.]] The rest of the review alternates between reviewing the game and delivering Take Thats to the Final Fantasy VII fan-base and the majority of otakus out there.

* [[Homestar Runner|Strong Bad]] once received an e-mail asking if he ever played mini-golf. The sender signed his name as "Somebody no one cares about in Iowa". Strong Bad wittily remarks "Also known as, everyone in Iowa". He has also claimed that the worst word that can be paired up with "fan" is, of course, [[Fan Fiction|fiction]]. He ALSO took a jab at [[Mary Sue|Mary Sues]] with the line, "You can't just start adding terrible new characters!". Well, it was probably unintentional, but still a great summary nonetheless.
** In the email "rough copy" Homestar advertises his Malinko-brand (or possibly just Malinko-flavored) flavored water as "crystal clear like domestic beer". Aside from the inherent Homestarishness of the rhyme, this could also be a crack at mainstream American beers, specifically, the derision with which it's met by foreigners and snooty American beer enthusiasts.
* Before a climactic battle between [[The Nostalgia Critic]] and [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]], the 'Nerd was forced to review a bad movie, while the Nostalgia Critic had to review a video game. He opened up his review of ''Bebe's Kids'' with...
{{quote|
** He also started that video using the theme song of AVGN, with a few lyrics changed and the AVGN logo, with the Nerd part crossed over and Critic written at the bottom. As a response to people saying that the Nostalgia Critic is a Angry Video Game Nerd copy.
** He also took a swipe at [[The Irate Gamer]], saying that the AVGN had become "The Irate Gamer to his genius" when he found out that the AVGN was also doing a review on "The Wizard." Seconds later he said [[Even Evil Has Standards|that was "going too far."]]
Line 29:
** In his "Top Ten Films I Like But Everyone Else Hates" he has a [[Take That]] to his creepier [[Fan Dumb]]. He says that he loves ''[[The Cable Guy]]'' because he's got to know more people like Jim Carrey's character ever since he got internet famous.
** In his review of the live action Grinch movie:
{{quote|
* [[Limyaael's Fantasy Rants|Limyaael]] commonly references works that use a trope well or not in her usual Rants, but she also devoted [http://limyaael.livejournal.com/302111.html an entire rant] to why [[The Wheel of Time|Robert Jordan]] and [[The Sword of Truth|Terry Goodkind]] suck.
* [http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/index.php?title=Whiny_emo_brat&redirect=no Uncyclopedia's opinion of Harry Potter.]
Line 39:
* Apparently, the makers of [[The Impossible Quiz]] are not fond of Chicken McNuggets or ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]''. In particular, their opinion of said McNuggets is presented as a factual answer to the question, insofar as anything in the Quiz can be said to be a "fact".
* ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]'' has a character do this to ''[[You Bastard|the users on the RP board.]]''
{{quote|
* An episode of [[Retarded Animal Babies]] had the characters go on to the Internet. They go by the site [[Happy Tree Friends]], which one of the characters says, "All they do is copy us". A Halloween episode also had one of the characters dressed as Flippy.
* An ebolaworld cartoon had Taco-Man beating up a dead hacker. At one point, he says, "[[And This Is For]] [[Homestar Runner]]'s popularity!". In his first e-mail, people accused him of ripping off Strong Bad e-mails. In another e-mail, people are given instructions on how to write to Taco-Man. One of the wrong ways to write his name was to write "Strong Bad". Taco-Man was actually referenced in a [[Homestar Runner]] Halloween cartoon.
Line 50:
* One of the biggest Take Thats of all time probably comes from the [[The Onion|Onion News Network]], with their story [http://www.theonion.com/video/victim-in-fatal-car-accident-tragically-not-glenn,14380/ "Victim In Fatal Car Accident Tragically Not Glenn Beck".]
* ''[[Darwin's Soldiers]] has a ''very'' unsubtle [[Take That]] aimed at Paris Hilton.

* [[Stuart Ashen]]'s review of an iPhone app
{{quote|
* ''Bludshot the Recolour'' parodies the original EVILLY.
* [http://www.godblock.com/ Godblock], a [[Refuge in Audacity|particularly]] audacious satire of [[Moral Guardians|Parental Controls]].
* There are quite a few take backs in [[I'm a Marvel And I'm a DC]].
** Superman's reaction to One More Day.
{{quote|
** And again poking fun at [[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]] and showing why dating vampires can be very dangerous.
* [[The Defrosters]] do this pretty much ever episode in reference to [[World of Warcraft]], [[Degrassi the Next Generation]], [[Harry Potter]], and everything else they can think of. Most recently, the [[WoW]] player justified playing [[Dungeons and Dragons]] by saying she was playing 4th edition.
Line 71:
** Also, the picture for the character "You" (the player) depicts an ape.
* Network Executives are NOT well liked on the [[Nerdist Podcast]]

* White phosphorus was described as "a chemical which was used by some bad guys" in ''[[Chaos Fighters]] II-Chemical siege'', a thinly veiled take that against usage of it in warfare, specifically Israel.
* [[Rooster Teeth Shorts]] gives one to Rebecca Black, during [http://redvsblue.com/archive/?id=3015 ''Fight or Flight''] credits : Music by Rebecca Black.
* [[EPICMEALTIME]]: "Am I right, hater? '''STOP HATIN'!'''"
** In "Epic Meat Salad":
{{quote|
* Metokur is like this most of the time towards deviants they write insulting articles about, sometimes it's so horrible the artists have to deactivate their accounts. Metokur = jerkass central.
* The creators of the ''[[Global Guardians PBEM Universe]]'' '''really''' don't like the New England Patriots football team. A football-themed superhero named "The Patriot", who based his costume on the team's uniform, is seen by the general public as more of a dirty-fighting, grand-standing loudmouth with no actual talent, rather than as an effective crime-fighter.
** According to the settings timeline, shortly after the Patriots pulled off the infamous "[[wikipedia:Snowplow Game|Snow Plow Play]]", a group of supervillains (all of whom were major Miami Dolphins fans), hunted down and murdered the entire team's lineup. It was nearly ten years before the owners restarted the franchise, and the team has been at the bottom of the NFL rankings since that point.
* [[SCP Foundation]] has [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1550-j SCP-1550-j] which warps reality and turns it into [[X-Men]]. It does take several jabs at the series:
{{quote|
''The SCP's abilities will become vastly oversimplified, and lose all scientific basis.'' }}
* ''[[Clan of the Gray Wolf]] 16-Bit Gems'' ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'' review gave a take that to ''[[The Irate Gamer]]'' for his negative review and this quote in the beginning even says it:
{{quote|
* In part of an April Fool's special of [[Atop the Fourth Wall]], Linkara brutally parodies [[The Irate Gamer]] videos. Basically his video sums up nearly every complaint people make about the IG, such as getting information wrong, acting like things were overly difficult, among other things.
* In [http://youtube.com/watch?v=CvoPmU4gao0 this] ''Random Crap with [[Homestar Runner]]'' video, Strong Bad watches TV. At one point, he comes across ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'', then screams and chants "MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!"
* Team Starkid's musical [[Starship]] has the Galactic League of Extraterrestrial Exploration.
