* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemEngage'' exaggerates and mocks CharacterShilling, specifically the form directed towards the [[PlayerCharacter Avatar]] common to later ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' games. In most ''Fire Emblem'' games with Avatars, the other characters tend to have a very worshipful attitude towards the Avatar, constantly praising their strength, charisma, and intelligence as second-to-none. ''Engage'' exaggerates this aspect to the point of the other characters literally worshipping Alear ''as a deity''. As for Alear's part, they are [[StopWorshippingMe weirded out at best and at worst uncomfortable with this very treatment]], seeing it as preventing them from making meaningful connections with others. Most of Alear's support conversations have the other characters eventually drop their worship towards them, instead coming to see them as a friend and equal.

* ''WesternAnimation/SmilingFriends'' is a darkly comedic deconstruction of series centering around the main characters helping a WoobieOfTheWeek. Charlie and Pim's job is to do this, but their clients' problems are typically things they're not qualified to deal with, and the problems are generally solved by accident or things they had nothing to do with. And the clients themselves tend to be very dysfunctional people with complex and deep-rooted problems; some of them are nice enough if troubled people, while others are legitimately terrible people whose problems are entirely their own fault.

* ''Film/TheReturnOfTheLivingDead'' was the deconstructive parody of the zombie movie. The main characters are a gang of punks who revel in nihilism and seem to be the kind of characters who would thrive in an apocalyptic scenario. That is until a zombie plague breaks out, and they are just as defenseless as everybody else.

The main characters are a gang of punks who revel in nihilism and seem to be the kind of characters who would thrive in an apocalyptic scenario. That is until a zombie plague breaks out, and they are just as defenseless as everybody else. The movie also points out the reality of how unstoppable an ''undead'' menace would actually be. Burt and Ernie try to stop a zombie by [[RemovingTheHeadOrDestroyingTheBrain removing its head]], but the result is just a headless zombie chasing them. Even completely [[BurnTheUndead incinerating its body in a furnace]] causes the fumes to rain down on a graveyard and resurrect every corpse inside it. The logic of a zombie's very existence means that there shouldn't be an easy way to "kill them" anyway like in other zombie fiction.

* Creator/TEDKlein's work serves as this for the CosmicHorrorStory. While the core themes of the genre tend to be played straight, a lot of tropes are frequently subverted, subtly satirized, or turned on their head.

* ''Film/{{Ted}}'' is pretty much ''Toy Story'' (the first one) mixed with ''Pinocchio'' and deconstructed with all the humour one would find in a Creator/SethMacFarlane production (namely ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''). What happens if a young boy makes a wish to have his favourite toy come to life? The wish comes true, of course, but ''Ted'' shows what happens when the boy and his cuddly toy companion grow into adulthood. Mostly concerning widespread media coverage, the complicated relationship issues which arise from a woman wanting more from [[ManChild a man who still sleeps with his teddy bear despite him being in his thirties]], and the fact that Ted has spent his whole life living off others and has consequently never been to school, had a job or even learned to live on his own, so when he actually does need to find work, all he he can manage is a piss-poor cashier job at a crappy downtown grocery store.
