== Wikis ==
* [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] is basically a [[Take That]] Wiki, [[Accentuate the Negative|gleefully bashing everything and everyone]], with the site's main target being [https://uncyclopedia.ca Uncyclopedia], a parody encyclopedia and its unofficial "rival".
** Since Encyclopedia Dramatica was originally designed as an archive of Troll activity, [[Take That]]s are inevitable.
** It also really crosses over into [[Hannibal Lecture]] with the article titled "You".
** Given that both sites shamelessly mock the daylights out of everything, including each other, any [[Serious Business|serious]] 'war' is doomed to just make everyone involved look stupid.
* Some tropers just love to use this. You'll find a bunch of them scattered all over the Wiki, which are [[Pothole]]d to the main page. Sometimes they get ground down by [[Wiki Magic]], sometimes not. '''''[[Take That|Don't add to them or we'll murder you in your fucking sleep.]]'''''
* Trope Names that are Take Thats:
:#[[The Scrappy]]
:#[[Creator's Pet]]
:#[[The Chris Carter Effect]]
:#[[Flanderization]]
:#[[Dan Browned]]
:#[[Takahashi Couple]]
:#[[Capcom Sequel Stagnation]]
:#[[X-Pac Heat]]
:#[[Macekre]]
* Amiright and Whatfreaks seem to both be [[Take That]]s to music in general.
* [[Wikipedia]] itself sometimes manages to sneak these in; for example, the page for [[Deus Ex Machina]] once had a "See Also" section that points you to ''[[Twilight (novel)|Breaking Dawn]]''...
** Another one for the Japanophobia page. The See Also? [[4Kids! Entertainment|Alfred R. Kahn]].
** While both of these are now gone, Tropers can take comfort in the fact that TOW's page on [[Deus Ex Machina]] now links to (their page on) [[Alien Space Bats]].
* The Transformers Wiki tends to throw these at the elitist fandom, being that it's not a Wiki restricted by [[Serious Business]], you can see how, they basically ''[[Trope Namer|named]]'' the [[Ruined FOREVER]] Trope, and even [[Shout-Out|link to our Ruined FOREVER page]]. There are other Take Thats, mostly bordering on the idiotic logic of the Transformers fanbase, on one of the timeline pages, they put the beginning of the universe, and it says:
{{quote|The Big Bang creates the universe as we know it. The protons, neutrons, and electrons that will eventually compose Transformers are formed, thereby [[Ruined FOREVER|ruining]] the Transformers franchise forever. A Thursday.}}
** Beyond fandom, there are plenty of Take Thats directed at certain people involved in Transformers, notably Pat Lee, Shane McCarthy and Andy Schmidt.
** That quote was edited to not include the "Ruined Forever" part, now.
** Their page on [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Wolverine Wolverine] describes him as "A completely unlikable asshole".
** Their Original Page on [[Dan DiDio]] called him Satan. Now he's just called [[Doctor Phil|Dr Phil]].
* [[RationalWiki]], being what it is, will very frequently take pot shots at various crank beliefs. Almost every article about a pseudoscience is a [[Take That]].
** At one point, their article about [[TV Tropes]] pretty much claimed that they [[Jumped the Shark]] after the changes that include giving YMMV its own section.
* The South Sydney [[Rugby League]] team's theme song lists all the teams Souths have beaten in grand finals:
