  • The Angry Video Game Nerd:
    • On his Super Mecha Death Christ: "FUCKEEEERRRSS!!! FUCKEEERRRSSS!!!" When the Nerd utters the words "Holy shit," SMDC turns on him with "WATCH YOUR FUCKING LANGUAGE!!!" Then again, he may have been taking offense to blasphemy rather than vulgarity.

    • In his review of the Aladdin Deck Enhancer, when the Nerd sees The Gaming Historian's review of the same product, he sees that Norman Caruso has a second Aladdin in the background.

    • In his review of Bartman Meets Radioactive Man, the Nerd says that the show the game is based on was revolutionary back in 1992, but has gone on far too long and needs to stop. He then says, "Okay, onto AVGN Episode 180-something."
  • In the Jill Valentine episode of Assist Me, Max (who is noted to not be the best actor), Wesker (who barely resembles his character), and Doctor Doom (whose voice alone chews on scenery like hungry piranha) remember not-too-fondly about the first Resident Evil.
    Wesker: Besides, could you imagine if Jill was represented the way she was in the original Resident Evil games? With those terrible look-a-like performers...
    Max: ...horrible actors...
    Doom: ...AND EXTREMELY CHEESY VOICE OVERS!
    [all slowly turn to the camera]

      RD Spartan: Can you imagine going out to the town dressed like that? You'd look ridiculous! Ah ah ah...
      Twilight Spartan: This looks like crap, especially those giant-ass wings.
      RD Spartan: Yeah, right. I mean look at that, just sticking out, bumping into shit...
      Twilight Spartan: What did you say? [moves his own wings into RD's helmet]
      RD Spartan: Ow, ow, my eye!

      "This movie censors the word [BLEEP], I mean who does that?"
    • During "Everything Wrong With Pitch Perfect", Jeremy calls out Beca for being creative using other people's work and says that nobody else would ever do such a thing. Little CinemaSins logos pop up on the screen to illustrate this trope.
  • Console Wars:
    • In the Chester Cheetah: Too Cool to Fool episode, Chester Cheetah considers remaking the titular video game for modern game consoles.

  • Invoked in the Dead Meat kill count for Saw VI, bringing up the scene where Jigsaw admonishes Hoffman for dropping an unconcious future victim like a pile of bricks. The reason said victim was being lugged around was so he could be put in a trap that would slowly and painfully twist his limbs around until it kills him by doing so to his head.
    Jigsaw: That's a human being.
    James: [imitating him] You know, that I'm shortly about to put in my favorite torture device. The one that twists his head around.
  • Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog: Dr. Horrible does this in Sarcasm Mode (used as an example on the trope's page): "Wow. Sarcasm. That's original!" He seems to figure it out a second later, judging by the pause and the look on his face after.

  • The Gaming Pixie wraps up her (already Fanservice-y) Metroid review by ranting on the best ending's "gratuitous fanservice" for putting Samus in a bikini. Guess what she ends up wearing?
  • The Guild has a more subtle example. Bladezz's sister asks if any of his internet friends are pervs, and Zaboo, who takes Stalker with a Crush to it's creepiest/most hilarious extreme, immediately replies "No, no one's a perv." with a completely straight face.
  • The Happy Video Game Nerd: At the end of his Metal Storm review:
    HVGN: Remember, there are way too many great video games out there to be so fucking angry all the time...
    [picks up the controller]
    HVGN: WHAT THE FUCK!
  • In the Hardly Working episode "Wacky Hijinks from 80s Comedies Are Mostly Rape", Pat reprimands his coworkers Trapp and Zac for coming up with pranks to pull on Emily and Murph that qualify as sex crimes and thinking that it's okay to do these things just because they happened in comedy films from the 1980's. After the trio agree to instead pull pranks inspired by ones from more recent and socially conscious movies, Pat then decides that they'll get back at Emily and Murph by tricking them into eating eclairs made with dog semen like in Van Wilder even though that kind of prank also involves doing inappropriate things to people.

    Jacques: You're a regular Lucille Ball.
  • Jreg: In the video "Political Ideology Tier List," Jreg ridicules the idea of an ideology whose only trait is being against something, despite the fact that his ideology is Anti-Centrism, an ideology whose main trait is opposing centrism.
    Jreg: I mean, can you imagine making an ideology that's nothing but against something? Anyway, let's continue with this Anti-Centrist tier list.
  • In yet another case committed by Lewis Brindley, he calls Smiffy out during the first episode of the second Yogscast TTT playthrough, accusing him and Simon Lane of manipulating him since they were both traitors and Simon chose to help Lewis to earn his trust.

  • In Do You Have a Short Attention Span? by Matt Santoro, Matt criticizes Amazon's decision to abridge their 80,000-word books to 10,000 words. He says, "And what about the Harry Potter series?

Then, his nerdy clone Eugene comes in, and says, "Oh god, Matt, you are truly a nerd."
  • For April Fools' Day, MaverickHunterZero75 did a fake countdown video for Top Ten Worst Video Games of All Time. In it, the entry for Solbrain: Knight of Darkness, a game criticized for stealing content from other games, is itself taken from one of RabbidLuigi's countdowns.
  • Mr. Deity: "Who uses "an" with a H-word? That's an horrendous idea."
  • The Music Video Show: In episode 21: "This part of the video uses split screen? Yeah, how original." Said when the video is using, and uses, split screen images.
  • The Nostalgia Chick does this quite a lot, as being a hypocrite who is not actually as smart or as above it all as she likes to believe is at the root of her character. For example, while reviewing She-Ra: Princess of Power:
  • Oxventure: In the Blades in the Dark Christmas special, Ellen mentions that her character, Lilith, is spending "Crimsnight" engrossed in her lonely studies. Andy's character, fellow nerd Edvard, says, "What a loser," and immediately returns to his lonely studies.
  • Forms the basis of a lot of the humor in Pete the Puppet.
  • In the Pittsburgh Dad episode "Little League":

  • Roller Samurai Vampire Slayers:
    • If Samantha gives an As You Know, its fine. If Jake does it, he's a fucking idiot.

  • In Rosy The Rascal 15's Randomness 5 video, in the first sketch, Lt. Jerry rules out Taco Bell being the cause of Shadow and Cream's deaths, referring to those at Taco Bell as "damn Mexicans". Jerry himself happens to be Mexican.
  • ScrewAttack:
    • The Top 10 Zombie Games video has Craig complaining about a continuity error, Then the next game on the list is ranked upside down # 3 with a # 1 voiceover.
    • Craig put Stryker on the Top 10 Worst Mortal Kombat Characters list, with one of the reasons being that anyone who wears a backwards cap looks stupid.
  • Sethical: In the "bread shop" skit, the main character starts an argument with a cashier over gluten-free bread (namely, thinking it's an Asbestos-Free Cereal ploy because regular bread has no gluten) and drags the manager into it. No matter how many times they try to explain it to him and even give him alternative options, he ignores them while complaining that they're getting way too worked up over something as simple as buying bread.
  • Slimecicle Cinematic Universe: During a meeting at Molympus in "The HARDEST Minecraft Difficulty", Slimecicle yells at Bizly and demands he respect Grizzly while he's talking... simultaneously shutting down his reasonable request to have a throne as big as everyone else's and fake-spitting on him while he's down.
  • Sonictoast:
    • In the Sonic Easter Egg Hunt "Disney in Sonic Comics" episode, Mickey Mouse sends Sonic to court for unauthorized cameos of Disney's intellectual properties in his Archie comics. Mario is the judge, and despite all the evidence, he finds Sonic innocent, claiming that, "Mickey Mouse is just a spoiled corporate mascot, and that's not all; he wears stupid-a buttons on his pants, he wears-a White Gloves for no reason at all, his shoes are just big and round don't even have-a shoelaces, and his voice is-a way too high!". Mario himself has all these same described qualities.
    • In Part one of "Sherlock Mario", when Mario and Sonic become detectives to solve the case of the stolen calendars, Link and Fox McCloud want to join them on their adventure. Mario and Sonic refuse, as the former claims he doesn't hang out with tall people who wear green, and the latter claims he wouldn't be caught dead with a talking fox. Guess who their respective sidekicks are.
  • The Spoony Experiment:
    • Noah insults the people who cried at Aerith's death in Final Fantasy VII, and we cut to him weeping at the opera scene from Final Fantasy VI.
    • Dr. Insano also complains about the protagonist of The Dungeonmaster using his computer to fire lasers, saying how ridiculous it would be for him to just start shooting lightning out of his hands shouting SCIENCE!. Yeah, about that...
    • In one of Spoony's Vlogs, he claims that Portal references are played out only to make one in his very next video. He gave a Hypocrisy Nod in the latter's commentary, though.
  • StacheBros:
    • In "Night Of The Living Goomba", when Luigi notices that he and Mario have been killing a lot of Goombas:
      Mario: You would think that Bowser would take a hint and maybe hire better minions to serve on the front lines.
      Luigi: Or at least enhance them or something. Maybe give them some arms. Or a menacing goatee. Steroids can do wonders these days.
      Mario: Are you suggesting they do drugs?
      Luigi: Whoa, whoa, whoa! No! Who do you think I am?! Drugs are bad for you! Luigi frowns upon drugs! [Beat] Do you have any Mushrooms on you?
      Mario: Yeah, here's one.
      Luigi: Ah, thanks.
    • In "Home Alone", when Bowser Jr. asks Kamek for help with packing his suitcase:
      Kamek: Quit your yapping and grow up! No one's here to slave for you!
      [pan over to Koopa dragging Kamek's bags]
      Koopa: [groaning] Where do you want the rest of your stuff, Kamek?
      Kamek: Put it in my pile!
      Koopa: OK. [continues groaning]
  • In Suburban Knights, the Big Bad is completely against technology. Saying you are okay with the 21st century in front of his face is generally a good way to die. However, he does own a smartphone. He specifically states that at least he isn't a hypocrite, and it immediately becomes clear that he doesn't actually know what the word means.
  • SuperMarioLogan:
    • In "Jeffy's New Toy!", when Mario goes to Toys'R'Us to buy Jeffy a toy so he will shut up about seeing Ass Pounders 2, Jeffy tosses a toy of Bob the Minion on the floor. Mario scolds him for it, telling him he would have had to pay for the toy if it got broken. Mario then sees a toy of Baymax, decides he doesn't like it, and tosses it on the floor.
    • In "Bowser Junior's Imaginary Friend!", Chef Pee Pee comments that imaginary friends are for stupid people, only to reveal that he has an imaginary friend, too.
    • In "Jeffy's Teddy Bear!", Cody teases Jeffy for bringing Beary, Mario's teddy's bear to school, saying "Who brings a toy to school, you loser?". He says this as he is standing right next to his Ken doll.
    • In "Baby Jeffy!", when Baby Jeffy plays with a stacking rings toy, Brooklyn T. Guy reprimands him for putting the rings on in the wrong order, then tries to put a star-shaped block into a round hole.
    • In "Jeffy and Junior's Big Heist!", Jeffy tosses his ravioli, causing it to land on Bowser's signed underwear from Charleyyy. Upon seeing the stain, Jeffy says, "Those are some dirty underwear, Junior. They need to learn how to use the bathroom." This is coming from a teenage boy who still wears diapers.
  • The Super Therapy! episode "Avengers Therapy!" has two good ones.
  • The Third Rate Gamer uses this a lot.
    • From his Home Improvement review:
      Third Rate Gamer: Why the fuck would something start with an intro? This intro is just horrible!
      [cuts to his intro]
    • In his The Lion King review, he criticizes The Angry Video Game Nerd, saying all he talks about is shitting on things. Directly after that:
      Third Rate Gamer: Anyway, Mufasanote  has three forms of attack. He can claw at the enemies, jump on the enemies, and shit on the enemies. [feces land on in-game enemies]
    • In his Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers review, upon encountering his "evil" self:
      Third Rate Gamer: And what's up with that fake mustache? It looks ridiculous!
    • In his Cool Spot review:
      On-screen text: FIND CAGE!
      Third Rate Gamer: "Find cage"? Shouldn't this say "find the cage"? This is some of the most worstest, most stupidest piece of not-good grammars I ever saw!
  • Todd in the Shadows:
    • Todd on Lady Gaga: "What kind of person makes some creepy weird video of themselves where you can't see their eyes? That's just crazy!" (Hiding his face is Todd's gimmick.)
    • Todd has been stalking Obscurus Lupa, despite her continued (and vocal) objections. However, his response to The Nostalgia Chick repeatedly asking him for a date?
      Todd: Some people just can't take a Goddamn hint!
    • In his appearance on Atop the Fourth Wall to discuss KISS, he mocks Linkara for being a nerd and laughs at the idea of reviewing a comic book, yet compares the politics of Chumbawumba to V for Vendetta, and specifies that it's the comic book rather than the movie.
    • When he sees a picture of Justin Bieber in a grey hoodie, he screams "You look like a loser!"
  • During Sips' Trouble in Terrorist Town series:
    • Turpster commits RDM on a frequent basis, breaking the rules and eventually pressing Lewis Brindley's Berserk Button (video here, causing him to vow to kill Turps in the next round, irrespective of either's allegiance. After he makes good on his threat and it turns out Turps was innocent, people understandably try to take him down. In the ensuing bloodbath, Lewis guns down Sips in self-defence, then fires on Trott unprovoked and kills him too before finally being taken down. Turps calls him out on this, and the Hypocritical Humour is lampshaded when Smiffy calls it "the worst case of RDM I have ever seen".
      Sips: Lewis has been more effective than all the traitors combined this round.
    • In this episode, Hannah Rutherford shouts at Duncan Jones to find better cover, since Lewis can still see Duncan, has a sniper rifle, and is taking pot shots at his head (the only part exposed). She then forgets to heed her own advice and stands in an equally bad hiding spot, where Lewis picks her off.
  • Warning! Readers Advisory!: Derek the Bard complains about nerds being around in his Con Bravo video.
  • In another case at the hands of the Yogscast, Sjin accuses the traitors of being "RDM Motherfuckers". Sjin was the only person that committed RDM that round, specifically against Lewis (for once on the receiving end). Lewis promptly calls him out and Sips starts mock-whining.
  • In You're a wizard, Harry we get the following exchange:
    Harry: Listen here, Hagrid, you fat oaf. I'm not a fucking wizard.
    Hagrid: For God's sake Harry what is with this language!? You're a FUCKING WIZARD!
Their language only gets worse from this point on.
