Line 68:
* ''[[Seto no Hanayome]]'' has a tendency to make things as absurd as possible (like a [[Schoolgirl Rival]] literally declaring war on another girl), but the Finale takes the cake. It involves...well, just read [[Seto no Hanayome/Trivia|this.]]
* The [[Comic Book Adaptation]] of ''[[Breath of Fire IV]]'' has a specific case of a story segment from the original game being deliberately ramped [[Up to Eleven]] as a [[Take That]] to [[Bowdlerise|Bowdlerisation]].
** Some background is necessary here. In the original video game, there is a scene {{spoiler|featuring [[The Emperor]] Soniel stabbing [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]] and [[God-Emperor]] Fou-lu with a [[Evil Weapon|soul-devouring sword]]; Fou-lu pulls the sword out and [[Off with His Head|decapitates]] Soniel [[Hoist by His Own Petard|with the very sword]] he was stabbed with.}} This ended up being [[No Export for You|Japanese-only]] and was completely [[Bowdlerise|Bowdlerised]] out of both international releases and the Windows port, despite the game being a [[Play StationPlayStation]] release (in an era where gory games were already well known for the platform) and despite {{spoiler|the decapitation scene being depicted solely in black-on-red silhouette}}. (This ended up in fact being rather a bit of a [[What Happened to the Mouse?]] in this game until videos came out of the censored scenes.)
** In the manga adaptation, {{spoiler|Soniel yet again [[Back Stab|BackStabs]] Fou-lu with the [[Evil Weapon]]--and Fou-lu proceeds to manifest an energy sword by will, decapitates Soniel in a spray of gore whilst '''''still having the Dragonslayer sticking through him''''', and then proceeds to shove the Dragonslayer out of his midsection ''by hand'' as Soniel's body sprays blood like a fountain}}.
* ''[[Eyeshield 21]]'' takes every [[Jerk Jock]] stereotype you can think of and stretches it to logical limits in the form of Agon. Over-developed sense of entitlement? Said to be ''the'' most talented athlete of the century and believes anyone who lacks natural talent (even if they work hard) doesn't deserve to exist. Gets away with anything? Car jacked a woman without getting so much as a scolding. A bully? Aimed a football at the head of a little boy in a wheelchair and seems to mug people on a regular basis. Popular with the ladies? Popular enough to get away with car theft. Chauvinistic pig? Is only relatively nice towards pretty girls, and sees nothing wrong with kicking an ugly girl in the back of the head. And if you're a pretty girl who ignores him, he isn't above using violence to get you to notice him. Jerk is an understatement (to say the least), he's practically a sociopath.
Line 93:
 
== [[Fanfic]] ==
* ''[[Shinji and Warhammer 40 K (Fanfic)Warhammer40K|Shinji and Warhammer 40 K]]'' Shinji decides to embrace the setting's madness and do everything [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Up To 121]].
* In ''[[An Entry With a Bang (Fanfic)|An Entry with a Bang!]]'', the Americans and Russians announce that they are massively, ''massively'' increasing nuke output for the [[Deus Ex Nukina]] defense against intruders into the solar system. We're looking at least 10,000 warheads a year, compared to a mere 2,700 (!) per year as US peak production during the [[Cold War]]. A mercenary leader converted to Clancy-Earth's side, already appalled by the talk of Nuclear '''Rearmament''' since C-Earth alone has many more nukes than any of the Inner Sphere houses, realizes that [[I Need a Freaking Drink|he needs a stronger alcoholic drink than beer]] after this.
* In the ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]/Manga/SailorMoon/Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' crossover ''The Girl Who Loved'', Harry thought that on the scale where Fleur Delacour and Shampoo were tens, Sailor Pluto was a definite eleven.
* One memorable line (and not for the right reasons) from the [[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]] fanfic, ''[[Passion Night]]'': ""IF I GO ANY FASTER WE WILL BE AT HYPER SPEEEEEED!" Lupin shouted trying not to moan while he shouted."
Line 245:
** The [[Game Boy Advance]] is not only more powerful than the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]], it's more powerful than the [[Neo Geo]], in everything but screen resolution and color depth. The ''[[Castlevania]]'' games show this quite well.
** The [[Nintendo DS|DS]] tops the [[Nintendo 64]], even though its processors are slower. This was because the processor speeds were mostly for show. The RAM is also more efficient, making it more practical than even the RAM with the Expansion Pak. Plus, it has plenty of texture memory, which can be seen in comparing the graphics of the original and DS versions of ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.
** The [[Play Station Portable|PSP]] has the same processor speed (especially with the CPU cap removed) and memory as the [[Play StationPlayStation 2|PS2]], and it has texture compression which the PS2 lacked (only a few recent games have truly shown this off though). Unlike the PS2, it also has a proper GPU (one that can process vertices on its own, rather than needing a separate Vector Unit).
** Early reports from E3 claim that the upcoming [[Nintendo 3DS]] to have graphics that surpass the [[Nintendo GamecubeGameCube]], and, though obviously no one outside of Nintendo has had a chance to look under its hood, the mere fact that it has 3D effects obtained without glasses makes it almost certain to surpass the Gamecube on a technical level as well.
** And now the [[Play Station Vita|PSVita]] doesn't just surpass the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] but is ''even more powerful'' than the [[PlayStation 3|PS3]].
* Equipping Demyx with the Ultimate Gear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: 358 Days Over 2|Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' changes his sitar into one named Up to Eleven. A slightly more powerful version called Up to Eleven+ is also obtainable.
