Line 387:
* ''Frankie Goes to Hollywood'' for [[Commodore 64]] consists of mini-games which represent songs on the Liverpuddlians' eponymous album. Watch [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFKkCQGp8XM&fmt=18 here] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zg4prjaeUg&fmt=18 here.]
* ''[[Mother 3]]'' has the Nice Poser enemy, who is just a metallic man with a triangle for a head. His only ability in battle is to strike poses so incomprehensible that they cause [[Standard Status Effects]] to your party.
* Subverted in ''[[Opoona]]''. There are actual [https://web.archive.org/web/20110910060219/http://delstar.org/opoona/net_tv_guide.htm#What%20is%20Art television programs] (in game) that explains Landroll's art movements.
* Parodied in ''[[Grim Fandango]]'', with the Beat poetry at the Blue Coffin club in Rubacava. Manny can try his hand at reciting poetry [[Word Salad Lyrics|by stringing random verses together]]; getting applause depends less on the content of your verse and more on convincing the crowd that you're [[In with the In Crowd|one of them]]. At one point, Manny recites a poem and gets jeered, then the club's owner follows, reciting exactly the same poem, and ''she'' gets applauded.
* ''[[Grand Theft Auto Vice City]]'' has an in-universe example. Claude Maginot, who plays the father on the sitcom ''Just the Five of Us'', considers the show lowbrow beneath contempt. His idea of true art is a theatrical production called ''In The Future, There Will Be Robots'', which according to reviews, is "hard to put into words". (Which in turn, according to the VCPR radio hosts, means it must be good).
