* Gets a [[Lampshade Hanging]] in the [[Web Comic]] ''[[MS Paint Masterpieces]]'', an unusually faithful fanfic sprite comic adaptation of the classic 8-bit ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]'' games, in which the inaction of the world's human armed forces against the evil [[Quirky Miniboss Squad|Robot Masters]] is explained by showing that they were not inactive at all - merely unable to keep up with the super-powered robot hero. The elite American squadron sent to fight the Robot Masters has a reputation as a suicide squad, sent on dangerous missions with a low expectation of survival. It is led by Colonel Fodder, who wisely chooses to sit most of every mission out. The team is called Fodder Force. And just in case you missed the joke the first time, the Fodder Force has a Chinese counterpart called the [[Red Shirt]] Brigade.
* Likewise lampshaded in [https://web.archive.org/web/20100626084718/http://www.adventurers-comic.com/d/20040828.html this] ''[[Adventurers!]]'' comic.
