Discussion Main / FightClubbing

• The Fight Club rules are frequently parodied. For example, in Spaced series 2 with Robot Club:
  Announcer: The first rule of robot club is... you do not talk about robot club. The second rule of robot club is... you do not talk about... wait I've got that wrong... [Pulls out piece of paper] The second rule is, no smoking.
  Tim: Why aren't you allowed to smoke?
  Mike:: Shhh! You're not supposed to talk about it!
  • The first and second rule of several Image Boards is not to talk about them. The reason is more or less the same as in the original Fight Club.
  • The first rule of Quiet Club is you do not talk.
  • The first rule of the Tautology Club is the first rule of the Tautology Club.
• Brendon Small of Home Movies parodies this by saying "The first rule of Fight Club is you don't talk about the first rule of Fight Club."
• Similar to the Spaced example above, a series of strips from Unshelved parody Fight Club with Book Club. You can even buy a with the rules on the back.

Do these have anything to do with the actual trope?
