* ''WebAnimation/VelmaMeetsTheOriginalVelma'' is a rare example of this PlayedForHorror, where it protrays Franchise/ScoobyDoo as an AnimalisticAbomination who has to RestartTheWorld everytime someone on Mystery Inc. points out on how he could talk. However everytime he resets the universe, each reincarnation loses more and more of what made it special, a commentary on how most modern iterations of the ''Scooby-Doo'' franchise [[AdaptationDecay loses the essence]] of [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou the original show]] with every reboot. He then concludes by stating that the most recent iteration, ''WesternAnimation/{{Velma}}'', to be [[TakeThat his most flawed world yet.]]

* ''Film/{{Vacation}}'': When Rusty Grizwold tells his family that he's going to take them to Wally World by car, he attempts to recreate the vacation his father, Clark Grizwold, took him on during [[Film/NationalLampoonsVacation the first movie of the franchise]].

* ''Webcomic/Homestuck2'': One of the two antagonists of ''Literature/TheHomestuckEpilogues'', [[spoiler:Ultimate Dirk]], does a variant as an extention of his distate for how the events of the Epilogues turned out. At first, he attempts to [[RevisitingTheRoots Revisit the Roots]] of ''Homestuck'' by leaving a suggestion box for readers to give input, but quickly decides against it because he isn't good with relinquishing control. The one suggestion he gets also tells him to stop continuing the comic, which just pissed him off. He then plans to find another planet and "reboot" the story by creating an entirely new species to play their universe's version of Sburb, so he can steer the narrative into a direction he likes.

* ''Film/HomeSweetHomeAlone'', a redo[=/=]DistantSequel of ''Film/HomeAlone'' for the 2020s, makes one such self-aware joke. In the original film, Kevin is a big fan of the fake movie ''Angels With Filthy Souls''; in the remake, ''Angels With Filthy Souls'' got a [[RecycledWithAGimmick sci-fi remake]], prompting this comment:

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': The first episode of the Hulu revival, "The Impossible Stream," is full of meta jokes referencing how often Futurama has been cancelled and revived, using ''All My Circuits'' as a stand-in as Leela and Bender revive it (and its dead star Calculon) for the streaming service Fulu, which will apparently revive anything. Fry concludes at the end of the episode that any TV show that truly cares about its viewers ''must'' be revived at least three times.

** ''Film/Scream4'' parodies the 2010s trend for remakes, as Sidney returns home to find her cousin and SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute Jill (played by then-Disney star Creator/EmmaRoberts) facing down another Ghostface massacre. There's a lot of snark about remakes versus originals, and finally it turns out that LoonyFan of the in-universe movie franchise ''Stab'' and Randy's SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute Charlie [[spoiler:plotted the massacre with Jill herself. Jill's plan is to kill Charlie and Sidney, and inherit her fame as the SoleSurvivor. However, unlike Sidney (who's a writer), Jill intends to become an [[BadInfluencer influencer]], "since nobody actually reads anymore." Dewey, Gale, and Sidney band together against Jill and succeed in killing her, as Sidney remarks that Jill]] "forgot the first rule of remakes: don't fuck with the original."

* ''WesternAnimation/WackyRaces2017'' has this trope pop up all the time, especially in season 2. Much of the humor comes from the show mocking the oversaturation of reboots, doubling as SelfDeprecation since this show is a reboot of ''WesternAnimation/WackyRaces'', to the point where several episodes are about the Racers being forced to participate in hypothetical reboots of the reboot.

** The Creator/KekePalmer / Music/{{SZA}} episode has Keke strongarm Creator/KenanThompson into a reboot of ''Series/KenanAndKel''. Said reboot is StylisticSuck: overacting, corny jokes, and bad camera work. Kenan says himself that it's not good, but [[spoiler:he got to work with Creator/JordanPeele]].
