* Jhonen Vasquez did a three-page comic in which he described his life, and how it was unlike Johnny C's life. It was embellished because, as he confessed, the scene wherein he flies out of his castle to buy a slushie from the devil didn't actually happen during a full moon.

* ''Literature/DonQuixote'': [[AuthorAvatar Ruy Pérez de Viedma]] relates all his biography in ''“The story of the Captive Captain”''. He was a handsome captive captain who wanted to escape the Moors and was helped by a Zoraida, a beautiful moor princess who wanted to convert to Christianity, organized a successful evasion to Spain, was well received by his powerful and rich relatives and married Zoraida. Cervantes (the author) was a captive who failed all his evasion intents, his family paid his rescue and always was an ImpoverishedPatrician.
* Film meta-example: In ''Film/BigFish'', Will Bloom grows up thinking that his father's stories about his life are absolutely true.

While his father is on his deathbed, he comes to discover that the truth is somewhere in between -- that they're simply his life embellished.

Parts of ''Joking Apart'' were clearly recycled for ''Coupling'' (and Moffat's ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E10TheDoctorDances "The Doctor Dances"]], oddly).
* The Van de Kamps on ''Series/DesperateHousewives'' are based on creator Marc Cherry's family, with Cherry taking the comparison so far as to kill off Rex at the end of the first season despite him being one of the most popular characters, entirely because Cherry's father died at the same age. Another incident taken straight from real life are Bree's first words to Andrew (Cherry's own counterpart) upon his coming out of the closet: "I'd love you even if you were a murderer!"

"Loose," by the way, as in the programmers become feral and turn into monsters due to being overworked, the video game characters are real and both work on the games and perform in them a la ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'', and the Sony analogue, recognizing SEGA as a threat, attempts to [[DeathFromAbove destroy them from outer space]].

* The Van de Kamps on ''DesperateHousewives'' are based on creator Marc Cherry's family, with Cherry taking the comparison so far as to kill off Rex at the end of the first season despite him being one of the most popular characters, entirely because Cherry's father died at the same age. Another incident taken straight from real life are Bree's first words to Andrew (Cherry's own counterpart) upon his coming out of the closet: "I'd love you even if you were a murderer!" Though given some of the things that have happened since that first season, including Andrew becoming pretty much pure evil for a while, one would hope not everything is true to life.
