* The 24 fanfiction "24: The Parody" constantly lampshades, especially with the scenes with the writer and the editor. In fact, lampshading is probably the reason WHY this story exists.

Added DiffLines:

* ''FanFic/JewelOfDarkness'': Jinx gets what may be one of the funniest examples of lampshade hanging ever when, after a string of failed attempts to find of method of flight, she utters this gem:
-->"How hard can it be to defy the laws of physics? Everybody does it."
** While explaining to [[MookLieutenant Ai]] how she intends to [[DividedWeFall turn the Titans against each other]], Midnight points out how heroes normally use the same tactic [[EnemyCivilWar against villains]].
** Beast Boy lampshades the CollapsingLair trope when Midnight's lair begins to self-destruct after the FinalBattle of the first arc:
-->"And there's the post big fight self destruct."
** Same chapter, Robin explains why he thinks Midnight survived:
-->"[[NeverFoundTheBody No body, no death,]] in our line of work."
** When Terra expresses surprise that Jump City has a diamond mine, Cyborg states that the city has a lot of stuff, and that he sometimes still gets surprised. This most likely is in reference to the fact that the city's layout on the show often seemed to change depending on the needs of each episode.
** Jinx at one point wonders why buildings always end up on fire when they're attacked by villains.

* Played straight, and then lampshaded in [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5474237/2/40k_ToyHammer this chapter]] of a ''{{Warhammer 40000}}'' fanfic, which has the [[ActionSurvivor main character]] bash an Eldar Farseer and Space Marine Terminator with a fire extinguisher in much the same way as he did the previous chapter, gives a snark about the possibility of it becoming a running gag, then goes on to extinguish the smoldering lampshade behind him.

* ''{{Those Lacking Spines}}'' is, without a doubt, the single most lampshade-riddled fanfiction ever. It takes the time to bring up anything and everything ever done by a fanfiction writer who wrote about Kingdom Hearts and Organization XIII, and proceeds to mock it and deconstruct it in every single way possible.
