Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]s in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] works include:
* Several indirect mentions in ''[[There Will Be Brawl]]''; the title drop actually refers to the "brawl" that eventually erupts in the last episode. It also refers to the fact that the series is a dark [[Affectionate Parody]] of ''[[Super Smash Bros]] Brawl'' as a whole. In order, it's mentioned by Luigi in the fourth episode, Dedede in the fifth, Olimar in the eigth, and {{spoiler|Bowser}} in the ninth.▼
 
* The serial web-novel ''[[Fine Structure (Literature)|Fine Structure]]'' ([http://qntm.org/?structure here]) is somewhat sporadically updated; one of the chapters is titled simply "[http://qntm.org/?over this is not over and I am not dead]" in all-lowercase. It seems as though the author is commenting in the title on his somewhat sporadic update-schedule, and apologizing (such as it is) for the relatively late update, right up until the [[Big Bad]] (an [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien]] in human form) says those exact words {{spoiler|and then proceeds to [[Cliff Hanger|shoot himself]].}}▼

▲* Several indirect mentions in ''[[There Will Be Brawl]]''; the title drop actually refers to the "brawl" that eventually erupts in the last episode. It also refers to the fact that the series is a dark [[Affectionate Parody]] of ''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Brawl'' as a whole. In order, it's mentioned by Luigi in the fourth episode, Dedede in the fifth, Olimar in the eigth, and {{spoiler|Bowser}} in the ninth.
▲* The serial web-novel ''[[Fine Structure (Literature)|Fine Structure]]'' ([http://qntm.org/?structure here]) is somewhat sporadically updated; one of the chapters is titled simply "[http://qntm.org/?over this is not over and I am not dead]" in all-lowercase.

** Also, in [http://qntm.org/?unbelievable the very first chapter], the title of the series itself is referenced. It's rather stealthy, however:
{{quote| ''Then it's over, Heaven number seventy-nine dopplering into our wake, torn bodily from its extradimensional moorings, '''fine structure''' bucking, scattering and shattering.''}}
:::This is made more interesting by the fact that this chapter was incorporated ''retroactively''. However, the author had apparently written it with the intention of adding it eventually.
* Another web-novel, ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120604015015/http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2718227/1/Fragile Fragile]'', features this trope in two different parts that use the title in them -- once in the middle and another time at the very end. Both times, the title refers to Severin, with the latter referring to his mental state and the former just generally referring to Page's perception of him.
* ''[[Retsupurae]]'' pointed this out in their Trapped retsuflash.
** Later, during the third game of the series they throw in forced title drops to all three games in the series--Trapped, Pursuit and Escape--in immediate succession.
** It was also done during their Arise 2 retsufrash: "Once more...I'm ''arising'' to kill whoever did this to me."
* In ''[[DarwinsDarwin's Soldiers]]'', the first RP does a title drop with the last line of the last post.
{{quote| '''Neku:''' This is more...than anything I could have asked for. From now on...we're a team. We are, I guess, in a way...Darwin's Soldiers. The next evolution of warriors...}}
* [[A Trailer for Every Academy Award Winning Movie Ever|Parodied in a video]] by sketch comedy group [[Bri TA Nick]].com, about [[Oscar Bait]] movies. [http://www.cracked.com/video_18156_a-trailer-every-academy-award-winning-movie-ever.html Featured on ''Cracked''.]
{{quote| '''Protagonist:''' Explicitly stating the moral of the story, and awkwardly working in...the ''Movie Title''.}}
* ''[[OrionsOrion's Arm]]'' is in fact set in that arm of our galaxy but the real title drop is the mention of a worldbuilding project in the setting meant to simulate the world of ''Orion's Arm'' which is itself named ''Orion's Arm''.
* [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]] references {{smallcaps|[[Title Drop]]}} by name in his review of ''[[My Pet Monster]]'', pointing out its blatant use in that as well as in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' movies.
** Among Phelous's many running gags is "Name...Drop!" when a title is mentioned mid-movie...though more often it's inverted to highlight something silly, like using the wrong name.
* The attack launched by the big bad of ''[[Chaos Fighters]] II-{{spoiler|Cyberion Strike}}'' is called as such.
* In ''[[Blogger Beware]]'', whenever the book does a [[Title Drop]], Troy deliberately cites another book's title. Except once in the ''I'm your Evil Twin'' review.
** Or in some cases he uses the actual title in a way that's grammatically inappropriate, such as "Max doesn't believe he really ''Let's Got Invisible''.".
* Parodied hilariously in the ([[Real Trailer, Fake Movie|fake]]) ''Pac Man'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWL6j0SvqV0 trailer].
{{quote| '''Police Officer:''' It seems to be some kind of man...some kind of ''Pac Man.''}}
* [[Press Start|Ed Glaser]]'s series ''Deja View'' has a title drop every episode worked in as a [[Just for Pun|pun]]. For example, in ''Turkish Captain America'':
{{quote| '''Ed Glaser:''' "So get ready for a triple-punch of Red, White...and ''Deja View''.}}
* Early in season 1 of ''[[Were Alive|We're Alive]]'', Pegs makes a sign to hang outside the Tower to announce that there are survivors inside. Guess what it says, yep: "[[Were Alive|"We're Alive"]]"
* Happens all the time in ''[[Pay Me, Bug (Literature)|Pay Me Bug!]]''. Ktk is the titular [[Starfish Alien|bug]]. [["It" Is Dehumanizing|It]] will bet on anything and everything with Cyrus. When Cyrus wins...
* Occasionally in [[Let's PlaysPlay]]s - for example, in ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]] II'' played by [http://lparchive.org/Knights-of-the-Old-Republic-II/ Scorchy], the original thread and the final update were both given the title "[[Christmas Rushed|Because We Hate Endings]]".
* Done frequently and to comedic effect (usually with the exact same clip) in ''[[Something Awful|Doom House]]'':
{{quote| '''"Police Officer:"''' Baggies! I've seen these before. Ohhhh, this is evidence! Evidence of... A DOOM HOUSE!<br />
'''Reginald P. Linux:''' A doom house?<br />
'''"Police Officer:"''' A doom house. }}
