Take That/Other Media: Difference between revisions

* In ''Häxornas försvarare'' by Jan Guillou, a book about the witch processes in seventeenth-century Scandinavia, the author explains that while at one point the study of witches was considered a credible science, all the information that went into scholarly treatises on the subject had been uncovered by the scholar a) reading what other people had previously written on the subject and b) making stuff up. He further states that understandably, no modern field of science uses this odd form of research, "except of course for national economics."

* Acclaimed travel writer Bill Bryson has made his birthplace a running [[Take That]] gag. The first line of ''The Lost Continent'': "I was born in Iowa. Somebody had to be."

* 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 (Video Game)|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 Box]] 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".
