* [[AcceptableTargets Redneck]] dating tip: "Don't be sexist or vulgar. Bitches hate that shit."

* Digger, a caller on the UsefulNotes/AustralianRulesFootball radio show ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coodabeen_Champions The Coodabeen Champions]]'', had the CatchPhrase "I never complain about umpires, but...", before immediately launching into a rant about how the umpires had "crucified" his team.

* WebVideo/{{Kitboga}] is a scambaiter popular on Website/{{Twitch}} and Website/YouTube. Kitboga's characters will often chastise the scammers for wasting their time or taking forever, even as Kitboga purposely does stuff to waste the scammers's time and delay them and/or the character follows this up by launching a long, rambling story.

* After the Decemberist coup attempt in Russia in 1825, one of the judges over the rebels was Pavel Golenishchev-Kutuzov, a man who participated in the assassination of Paul II in 1801. So the tradition goes that during the trial, he spat out "How could you consider something as terrible as a regicide". One of the accused answered "Well, that wouldn't be the first time, some people got sashes and badges out of it". [[note]] To be fair to Kutsov, he found it ''absolutely freaking hilarious'' and although he found the man guilty, he sentenced him to be the number two to the governor of an obscure Siberian province - a promotion in exile, if you like!

* In the ''AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho'' audio drama ''The Sword of the Chevalier'', the Tenth Doctor and Rose meet the Chevalier D'Eon, who they find nice but with a tendency to talk about herself. The Doctor says she can't possibly have met all the people she claims, and Rose sardonically notes that people like that are annoying. Completely ObliviousToHisOwnDiscription, the Doctor agrees that he hates name-droppers, and adds that Creator/OscarWilde used to do the same thing.

* The ''Literature/BinderOfShame'' depicts a particularly horrifying game master by the name of Biff Bam. Under his house rules for ''TabletopGame/CallOfCthulhu'' "real men have no fear" so "the less sanity points you have, the more gay you are". He actually forces the players to act this out; "You failed your sanity roll again [...] now your character not only has a limp wrist which gives him a [[FunetikAksent dexterosity]] modifier, but he also speaks with a lisp. You better be lisping when you talk, got it?" Over the course of the game, he [[HoYay shamed everyone into stripping to the waist because it was hot in the room and the window was stuck, and enforced his rulings by physically wrestling complainers into submission.]]

* Creator/SeanMalstrom:
** [[http://seanmalstrom.wordpress.com/2010/02/08/email-those-angry-fans/ "Have you ever worked with a genius?]] They are horrible to work with! It is because they think they are right in everything!" [[SarcasmMode Because you've never acted remotely the same, have you, Sean?]]
** Likewise, he refuses to talk about comic-books on grounds of he did not read them and know nothing about them. Yet he lambasts {{Anime}} non-stop despite of he has admited he has only watched ''Anime/{{Robotech}}'' -- a. k. a., ''[[Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross Macross]]'' -- and ''Manga/{{Akira}}'' (which he was not even completely sure of it was anime).

* [[http://www.cracked.com/article_18680_political-cartoons-lowest-form-communication.html This]] Website/{{Cracked}}.com illustrates its subject by the way of SelfDemonstratingArticle parody. The hilariously {{anvilicious}} cartoons treating the viewers as morons, "mind reading" and spelling out the assumed strawman points and [[ExpoLabel label everything]]. So it shows examples of these, then treats the readers as morons, guessing and spelling out the assumed points reduced to strawmanship and {{anvilicious}}ly comments on what's where and who's what in each case ''[[UpToEleven even more]]''. The point of the article, obviously, ends up perfectly illustrated. By the way, [[RecursiveReality the entry you just read was]] an ExpoLabel...

* In a Geico spot, a rep is showing the Geico gecko footage of him as a two-dimensional hand-drawn cartoon plugging the product. The CGI-animated gecko does a FacePalm and quips "So you've turned me into a cartoon. Lovely."

* In the Radio 4 travelogue ''The Trainspotter's Guide to Dracula'', Miles Jupp, having recreated Jonathan Harker's journey in ''Literature/{{Dracula}}'' is disappointed to find "Castle Dracula" today is in fact a theme hotel with a fake portcullis.

* Literature/TheBible -- Numbers 12:3 goes, ''Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth''. And who wrote Numbers? That's right. (Justified, in that the Biblical concept of humility is attributing all success to God rather than your own abilities.)
** Double Justified, given how resistant he was to being a prophet and leader multiple times (which gave him vast power), and also the power he initially lost as part of the life he had in the ruling family, to then be a serf, it actually fit his history. If nothing else, 40 years of migration, in a desert, with ungrateful people, all depending on God, and knowing you'll die before even reaching your goal after all that, will humble someone a bit.
** Also, there's the simple fact that the word "humble" has multiple meanings. It is often used to mean someone who has a low, or at least not high, opinion of himself. But it can also refer to the material circumstances in which someone lives, as in the phrases "be it ever so humble, there's no place like home" or "humble abode." The Bible may simply be referring to the fact that Moses lived in humble circumstances, because he had not used his position to enrich himself, or otherwise enjoy the perks that usually come with power. And there are still other meanings of "humble" besides that.
* The parable of the pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18 is a straight example of this trope. The pharisee loudly praises himself for not being like that filthy tax collector over there while the tax collector doesn't even dare to lift his eyes to heaven and simply prays, "God, have mercy on me, a sinner."

* Literature/TheBible - Numbers 12:3 goes, ''Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth''. And who wrote Numbers? That's right. (Justified, in that the Biblical concept of humility is attributing all success to God rather than your own abilities.)

* The host of the podcast ''Podcast/{{Swindled}}'', A Concerned Citizen, gives a very tongue-in-cheek example in "The Tour", where he delivers a moral to the Music/MilliVanilli story. He appears ready to launch into an anti-consumerist diatribe, only to take a sharp left turn:
-->'''Concerned Citizen:''' Listen up, kids. Authenticity is rare. It's important to understand that not everything you see or hear is real. And it is important to understand that sometimes the media targeted at you has no artistic merit. In fact, some media is created with the sole purpose of serving as a vehicle to shove advertisements into your consciousness. It's true of radio, it's true of movies and television, and it's especially true... of podcasts. ''[cut to the Citizen narrating a plug for another podcast]''
* Timmis the intelligent germ from ''Podcast/MissionToZyxx'' protests that its life is undervalued because it is smaller than the crew. Timmis wears clothing fashioned from smaller germs, whose lives it does not value because they are smaller than Timmis.
