Felony Misdemeanor / Web Original

• Episode 4 of Chobits Abridged has this. Loitering is so heinous, the police pull and cock their guns just to be sure.
• The Best Page in the Universe: Maddox's article about, among other things, the dubious villainy on display in Quantum of Solace. "It's like the producers are challenging you to give less of a shit."
• There was a TV advertisement in Poland: the man asks his wife if she wants Earl Grey since the kids are asleep. After some Memetic Mutation, Polish Internet was full of pictures of a man in jail for drinking Earl Grey in the presence of children.
• Inverted in the fifth episode of the Irish comedy series I Am Fighter:
  Barry 'The Blender' Henderson: This here's a picture of Thomas 'The Tanker' Smythe driving a tractor at the age of three, which you might think is completely illegal. But when you're on the fucking outskirts of Limavady, anything goes. Know what I'm saying? Keep it on the DL.
• In A Game of Gods, when the group is in Halloweentown, listening to Jack's speech on Christmas getting bombarded by the questioning mob, Narumi fires a gun at nothing just to get their attention. Needless to say, Jorge is displeased with this as to give him a What the Hell, Hero? line.
• The Nostalgia Critic:
  • The "Bat Credit Card" gag of Batman & Robin has become his personal Berserk Button.
  • The Straw Fan Douchey McNitpick is a spoof of how some commenters act like even a small error is a horrible thing.
  • His review of James and the Giant Peach opens with the Critic in jail for making a bad Let's Play.
• Jen of Cake Wrecks writes out phonetic spitting sounds ("ptooey") at the mere mention of the dreaded cupcake cake.

• In Mega Man Dies at the End, Bomberman is a psychopath with a fondness for Stuff Blowing Up, yet people seem most upset at the fact that he uses the metric system.
• In Midnight Screenings, Brad and co. liked seeing Prometheus, and got some Fan Hater flack for enjoying the movie. They then made a follow up to mock the complainers, but nitpicking irrelevant parts of the movies.
• The The Music Video Show has an example in episode 8 when Fall Out Boy is about to be burned alive.
  "You guys do kind of deserve it after you butchered a Michael Jackson song...and getting John Mayer to do the (guitar) solo."
• Welcome to Night Vale: Cecil is so enraged that the local barber had the temerity to cut Carlos's hair that he basically arranges for the poor dude to be run out of town to wander delirious in the desert.
• Arthéon from Noob considers getting his previous avatar permanently banned for Real Money Trade was this. The feeling is understandable considering that his old guild went on to be the best of the game while he ended up becoming the leader of the worst one, but whether he's right or not is left to the audience's appreciation.
• Retsupurae: In "Let's Play Contra using 1950's recording technology", the duo notices that the LPer is choosing to play the game on Easy difficulty, and after mentioning that this means he won't be able to actually beat the Final Boss, slowbeef chooses to indulge in some Easy-Mode Mockery:
  And playing Contra 3 on Easy is like kissing your sister, you just don't do it. I think there's even laws against it.
• Parodied in an episode of Luigi's Engine Room with The Runaway Guys. Chuggaaconroy thinks being Canadian is a horrible offense.
  Chuggaa: Well, you say "zed".
  Jon: Gasp! I'm Canadian!
  Chuggaa: Hide your children!
• StacheBros: In the Super Mario episode of "Luigi Time!!!", Princess Peach sentences Luigi to 20 years in the dungeon for insulting her. However, in the Wii Party episode (which takes place 3 weeks later), she decides to set him free for good behavior.
• The entire M.O. behind the Eradication of Repulsive Evil and Corruption Team in Hard Justice. Got your music too loud? Turn it down or get a point-blank rocket to the face. This ends up being deliberate and a plot point as the Big Bad created the Team and filled its ranks with idiots to prevent actual police investigations of his crimes.
• In Farce of the Three Kingdoms, the justification Dong Zhuo gives for executing ex-Emperor Bian: He was writing mildly emo poetry.
• In the Wizards with Guns video "The Purge, But This Time Everything's ILLEGAL", everything is made into a crime and the police start assaulting and arresting people literally for no good reason. At the end of the video, a cop was willing to shoot the unarmed protagonist if The Flurge hadn't ended that very second.
