* [[media:macvpc-icon.jpg|The icon that a Mac uses to represent a PC on the network.]]
* Most unsubtle and unwitty example ever: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTldxSdAHuM This] video, which is the full match of the first clip you see in the infamous '''"[[Capcom vs. Whatever|MAHVEL]] [[Memetic Mutation|BAYBEE!]]"''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZZUMjoxfZA video], manages to throw in a random "FUCK [[Arcana Heart|AR-CAY-NAH HEART]], NIGGER! FUCK ARCANA HEART!" at the end of its utterly non-sensical commentary.
* PC Gamer regularly takes cheap shots at console gamers. One was when they recommended the [[X BoxXbox]] 360 controller for Games For Windows games, with the hasty disclaimer "[[Freud Was Right|don't worry, no one will think you're a console gamer]]". When a reader wrote in and called them on it, they said it was a "friendly rivalry".
** If this is PC Gamer of Future Publishing then it definitely is a friendly rivalry, since Chandra Nair, one of their writers, used to work for Cubed, a [[Game Cube]] magazine.
*** Not to mention that Chandra Nair went on to also become editor of Official Nintendo Magazine before leaving the industry completely.

* In both ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle|Warhammers]]'', the entire Ork race are a [[Take That]] at football hooligans even though fans [[Too Funny to Be Evil|tend to think of Orks as really funny]] but its kind of obvious its a take that when you realize they are to bricks what dumb as a brick is to normal people.
* The expanded [http://pw1.netcom.com/~shagbert/pages/munchkins.html Real Men, Real Roleplayers, Loonies, and Munchkins] list is littered with Take Thats directed at the likes of ''[[Star Trek]]'', comic books, [[Gary Gygax]], and whatever else the contributor wasn't personally fond of by attributing them to [[Munchkin|Munchkins]] -- which, by extension, is probably an indicator of [[Fan Hater|fan-hating]].
* WoTC released a few animated shorts before the release of 4th Edition ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'', they focused on very specific monsters and races in terms of how 4th Edition would affect them. One of the shorts was about the red dragon and contained a very amusing reference to the "Edition Wars" in which traditionally whiny fanboys ranted about the suckiness and evil of 4th Edition. Said reference showed a forum being trolled by an actual troll that was promptly buried under a large pile of dragon excrement by the red dragon as it flew overhead.
