[[Take That Me|We couldn't figure out where to put these...]]
* Type the word "Santorum" into Google. [[Schmuck Bait|Go on]]. (NSFW)
** For those a bit behind on the news in the Gay Community... [[The Fundamentalist|Rick Santorum]] once stated that two men having sex was equivalent to [[Insane Troll Logic|"a man having]] [[But You Screw One Goat!|sex with a dog
** Dan Savage also tried to create a definition for "[[Technical Virgin|saddlebacking]]" (in reference to the Saddleback Church in Orange County, California, owned by Rick Warren) with considerably less success.
* Uwe Boll's online video in response to the [https://web.archive.org/web/20090624100524/http://www.petitiononline.com/RRH53888/petition.html petition to stop him forever] contains completely unwarranted attacks on directors [[Michael Bay]], Eli Roth, and George Clooney. Say what you will about their directing skills, but Uwe Boll has no right to criticize them. This is also the video in which he claims to be "ze only genius in ze whole fucking business".
** Ironically, he may have a
* Showing an uncharacteristically pointy side, radio comedy team [[Bob and Ray|Bob & Ray]] reacted to ''New York Magazine'' critic [[wikipedia:John Simon (critic)|John Simon's]] negative review of their stage show by incorporating him into their skits as "The Worst Person in the World"—a character who never spoke, just made rude noises while other characters commented loudly on his uncouth manners. Broadcaster [[Keith Olbermann]] later picked up the concept, ''sans'' specific attack, and used it in his ''Countdown''.
** And Olbermann has used several Take Thats in his feud with [[Bill O Reilly]]. A classic was when O'Reilly announced he was starting an online petition to get Olbermann's show off the air. Olbermann had a segment showing the entire production crew and staff of ''Countdown'', including himself, cheerfully signing the petition to show how seriously they took it. And MSNBC's other shows got in on the act as well: Dan Abrams and Tucker Carlson are shown signing it.
Line 15:
** Hippies and hobos aren't treated kindly either. All hippies have bad body odor and do drugs, and hobos are all lazy, stupid booze-drinkers.
** On the other hand, all frat boys use "bra" as a [[Verbal Tic]], drink more beer than is probably humanly possible, and have an unhealthy obsession with paddling.
* Film critic [[Roger Ebert]] is very, very skilled at the Take That. He's published ''
** When Ebert referred to Vincent Gallo's movie ''The Brown Bunny'' as the worst film in the history of the Cannes film festival, Gallo called him "a fat pig with the physique of a slave trader". Ebert's reply is pure gold: "It is true that I am fat, but one day I will be thin, and he will still be the director of ''The Brown Bunny.''"
*** Technically that response is a modification of a line attributed to [[Winston Churchill]]: "Madam, I may be drunk, but you are ugly, and I shall be sober in the morning."
Line 21:
** Ebert also commented about a feud between Rob Schneider and another critic, Patrick Goldstein. After Patrick made a remark about Columbia Pictures financing ''Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo'' while having turned down every single one of that year's Best Picture nominees, Rob Schneider took out full-page ads in two magazines insulting Patrick Goldstein, for [[Let's See You Do Better|not having won anything himself.]] Ebert's comment is, once again, priceless:
{{quote|''But Schneider is correct, and Patrick Goldstein has not yet won a Pulitzer Prize. Therefore, Goldstein is not qualified to complain that Columbia financed ''Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo'' while passing on the opportunity to participate in ''Million Dollar Baby'', ''Ray'', ''The Aviator'', ''Sideways'' and ''[[Finding Neverland]].'' As chance would have it, I '''have''' won the Pulitzer Prize, and so I am qualified. Speaking in my official capacity as a Pulitzer Prize winner, Mr. Schneider, your movie sucks.''}}
▲** Ebert strikes again by thanking Bill O'Reilly for including the Chicago Sun-Times in his "Hall Of Shame", claiming to be in a Bill O'Reilly Hall of ''Fame'' [[Your Approval Fills Me with Shame|would be a cruel blow to any newspaper.]] He goes on to compare him to "Squeaky The Chicago Mouse" in response to the latter's claim he was more powerful than any politician, and such an eloquent [[Take That]] has to be [http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090407/COMMENTARY/904079997 seen to be believed].
* Archaeologists have found ancient Greek sling shots with "[[Take That]]" written on them.
** This had continued into the present day, with bomber crews in the Middle East painting messages on the their explosive payloads.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSweVjWOVf0&feature=related This] video of [[Australian Rules Football]] team the West Coast Eagles' theme song includes the Eagles mascot giving cross-town rival the Fremantle Dockers' mascot a wedgie.
** A famous one happened when Carlton played Essendon in 1991. The previous year, Essendon had lost to the much-hated Collingwood in the grand final, giving Collingwood their first premiership since 1958. During that time, Carlton had beaten Collingwood in grand finals in 1970, 1979 and 1981. Carlton rubbed it in by having their banner read, "If you lose to Collingwood in a grand final, you're a bloody idiot." <ref>A riff on Essendon sponsor TAC's slogan "If you drink, then drive, you're a bloody idiot."</ref>
* Lee Unkrich, the director of the third ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' movie responded to fan reactions of the movie via twitter. [https://web.archive.org/web/20101022134821/http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/06/18/armond-white-prevents-toy-story-3-from-becoming-the-best-reviewed-movie-of-all-time/ Here's what he said to the critics who didn't like it.]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_Wqy1R0Ve8 This video.] "The work ethic of music majors is often disappointing."
* In early 1979, NBC was falling behind in the ratings war against CBS and ABC. In an attempt to get back those ratings, NBC initiated its "Proud as a Peacock" campaign. One of those was a song telling about how great NBC was. However, they knew how bad they were in the ratings and ended up making [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8id3o-BPbM&feature=related this parody] to mock the network and its-then current owner.
* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' (and shows like it) got hit ''hard'' in an episode of ''[[Adventures in Odyssey]].'' Local teen Connie Kendall wants to pitch an idea to a TV station (it's a ''[[Thomas the Tank Engine]]'' [[Captain Ersatz]]), but first we see what a guy named "[[Nickelodeon|Nigel O. Dion]]" has. IT winds up being a ''[[SpongeBob]]'' pastiche where everyone is free from values and [[SpongeBob]]'s parents are idiots. "Nigel" openly expresses how agressively kid friendly it is. Connie's show talks about how we need to have authority or things would go wrong, and "Nigel"'s show is rejected because it's another one of "too many" shows that teach kids to "mock and taunt authority" and make them "glib, selfish, and rude". (Although the actual ''[[SpongeBob]]'' isn't a little kid and in fact loves his parents very much.) "Nigel" leaves them saying they're unreasonable and stuck in the "19th century".
** Ironically, a lot of Nickelodeon's shows aren't really like that. (Shows like that are on [[Cartoon Network]].) But then again, [[Focus On The Family]] isn't on very good terms with Nickelodeon...
* In [[Rugby League]] the South Sydney Rabbitohs' song goes as far as to list all the teams Souths beat in grand finals:
Line 62 ⟶ 61:
And the Berries in due course
They wear the RED & GREEN
(CHORUS)
They plucked the Western Magpies,
Line 74 ⟶ 71:
Within South Sydney grew
They wear the RED & GREEN \\ }}
* During coverage of [[Olympic Games|the Winter Olympic Games]] at Sochi (footage taken from "Putin's 15 years: A presidential retrospective (RT)"), Keith Olbermann of [[ESPN|ESPN2]] had this to say:
{{quote|(picture of a dog is shown) ''"The smiling dog to my right is not from the dog show, he's from Sochi, Russia. And he's probably dead now."''}}
