Line 9:
** From his review of Saint's Row 2: "If you give them guns, they will shoot old ladies. If you give them cars, they will run over old ladies. If you give them aircraft, they will ascend to the highest possible heights and hurl themselves out onto an old lady. And if you give them customizable outfits, their first instinct will be to take off their clothes and run around the streets hip thrusting in the faces of old ladies."

** It seems that when that SCP-001 was written, SCP-098 was the entrance to an underground tunnel network; witnesses described it as a "gate to hell." The article was removed and replaced with the crustaceans at a later date.
* Songun Blog, which is a parody of North Korean propaganda practices claims America is "filled with unemployment, foreclosures, crime, drugs, prostitution, murder and jaywalking."
Line 16:
* There exists a website called [http://www.kids-in-mind.com/ kids-in-mind.com] which gives detailed ratings on any possibly objectionable material in films. ''Anything'' that could (ir)rationally be called offensive is listed. Take for instance, ''Law Abiding Citizen,'' a film that scored a 9/10 in violence thanks to people being dismembered, blown up, incinerated, poisoned, suffocated, raped, and stabbed. The icing on the violence cake? ''[http://www.kids-in-mind.com/l/lawabidingcitizen.htm "Two men eat food using their fingers."]''
* In ''[[Open Blue]]'', the [[The Federation|Axifloan Coalition]] lists various crimes that various Pirate Lords and ladies are wanted for. While some have pretty serious lists throughout, others... not so much. From v4's Pirate Lord list: Pirate Lady Lucille Prideux's list ends with "Theft in general" while Captain Van Wijk's ends with "Blasphemy" (which is pretty light compared to his other crimes). The real cake takers, however, are Captain Garth, with "Unlicensed operation of a menagerie", and Captain Ingrid, with "Insulting Admiral Flota Vladimir Ilyavich Tokarev, '''HERO OF THE TRIBES'''".
* [[
** He did it again with ''[[Deadly Towers]]'': "This game is a chicken-licking-finger-fucking son of a bitch! This game is ball-cider! The Assholians bow down to this piece of shit! In other words, the game sucks."
* ''[[Something Awful]]'''s [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/game-reviews/jack-thompson-gta.php review] of ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'' in the style of [[Moral Guardians|Jack Thompson]] notes a (fake) scene where the player carjacks and stabs a family driving to church, then notes that the in-game vehicles have no turn signals.
* [[PPC|PPCers]] often start out the chargelist with things like grammar and spelling errors, move on to bigger charges like "disrupting the fabric of reality", and end with things like "having a stupid name", "pissing off PPC agents", etc. An example is Acacia's addendum in [https://web.archive.org/web/20120511062611/http://www.misssandman.com/PPC/laughatthemoon.html This Mission]. Another had a character charged with rape, child abuse, and "having an annoyingly complicated house to navigate".
* From part one of the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBLz3GDfgQU Werewolf Prevention Guide], "You may remember me from such videos as Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse, Protecting you and your family from Vampires & Advanced Billiards Tutorial."

* [[The Nostalgia Chick]]'s review of top movie villains included captions listing the various characters' prosecutable crimes. Amid such offenses as "Treason", "Manslaughter", "Conspiracy to Genocide" and the like are occasional mentions of "Littering" (discarding a bone from dinner) or "Animal Cruelty" (squashing bugs).
* On the [[Something Awful]] forum thread that started [[The Slender Man Mythos]] someone made this comment:

* In the College Humor video ''[[Duck Hunt]]: Behind the Scenes'', the dog describes formula RD-601 (used to punish players who cheat the games) as such:

** With the fourth episode the openings themselves become an example. The first begins with Paul finding a dead human in their house, the second with Carl sinking a cruise-ship, the third with Carl overthrowing a South-American Goverment, and in the fourth... He drags mud all over the carpet. [[It Got Worse]].
** Sort of a reverse example, from another of his videos, "Ferrets", in which two ferrets are talking in a valley. The one on the left, Harold exclaims how sad he is, so the other one on the right insists that whenever he's feeling down, he sings about things that make him happy. He then breaks into song, and starts listing off happy things to make Harold happy. The first things he sings are okay, like "the feel of a dollar bill", but the song quickly gets dark, when he starts singing about "the fresh smell of blood", and [[Ho Yay|"touching Harold inappropriately while he sleeps"]].
