A Hostile Show Takeover is an episode in which a (lead) character is somehow indisposed, and the rest of the cast scrambles to oust that character, taking over the role or pitching their own concept in a quickly created audition. This probably requires the characters to actually be aware they're in a show, at least for that episode, but comes up in cartoons frequently. Hopefully, we won't have to deal with this here. Waluigi once tried to take over this page, and we had to send him elsewhere. He might be still lurking around here, though. |

Happens in-universe in the fourth Thursday Next book. While Hamlet is temporarily out of his play visiting the Real World, Ophelia brings in a cooperative understudy to rewrite the story with herself as the star. When the BookWorld's police force threatens the character with a Fiction Infraction, Laertes throws his weight behind the rebellion and rewrites the story with himself as the star. Then Polonius decides to join in as well. The play is briefly named "The Tragedy of the Very Witty and Not Remotely Boring Polonius, Father of the Noble Laertes, Who Avenges His Fair Sister Ophelia, Driven Mad by the Callous, Murderous and Outrageously Disrespectful Hamlet, Prince of Denmark" before The Merry Wives of Windsor conduct a hostile takeover and merge stories. Thursday is tasked with separating the books again and rescuing the existence of the play. It's also noted that the same thing happened to two other Shakespeare plays: Sons of Gloucester and Daughters of Lear were merged so inextricably that there was nothing to do but leave the merged text, King Lear, as its own play. |

Suzuki-gun invaded Pro Wrestling NOAH after several of the promotion's wrestlers helped Toru Yano deal with Minoru Suzuki and his stable. They quickly laid out the champions and proceeded to dominate the title scene for months. Two years later, they repeated the stunt in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, returning with a vengeance at New Year's Dash. | |

One episode of Chappelle's Show opened with Dave threatening to quit over Executive Meddling. They decide to let him since all the sketches for the season have been filmed and they can just hire a new host, Wayne Brady. Later in the episode, Dave is shown regretting his decision and vows to get his show back. He has to fight Brady for it though, and the episode includes one of the series' most famous sketches in a flashback to Dave and Wayne hanging out a few weeks earlier (in which the squeaky clean Wayne Brady's image is parodied by revealing he's actually a dangerous, criminal psychopath) | |

In the Space Ghost Coast to Coast episode "Baffler Meal", a prototypical version of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force try to take over Space Ghost's talk show. It truly gets out of hand once they start running the "hunger imagery". Space Ghost does manage to reassert himself in the end, at the cost of changing classic rock forever (imagine Thomas Jefferson and his backing band singing a reworded version of Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog" and you'll get the picture...maybe). In the episode "Freak Show", the feed was repeatedly hijacked by one "Commander Andy of the Cosmos", driving Space Ghost up the wall as Andy keeps interrupting the interview with Wiley Gustafson. Space Ghost's evil twin brother, Chad, attempts this in "Switcheroo" and ultimately succeeds in "Hipster," where Space Ghost's ultimate fate is left vague. |

The Ghost and Molly McGee has three. The first has Rich Bitch Andrea, who after happily offers to take the show off Molly's hands to help bolster her own social media fame, and ends with Scratch trashing her set to reinstate the status quo. The second has Libby, who does a musical number explaining to Molly why she can't do a Takeover. The latter short also includes a brief Continuity Nod where Molly interrupts, wondering when Libby became such a talented singer since there's an entire episode revolving around her inability to sing; Libby proceeds to remind her that "Theme Song Takeovers" are non-canon. The third has Molly's brother Darryl, who uses the song to advertise his businesses (including DVDs titled "The Ghoul and Holly Hugee", "Reptilia", and "The Hoot Home") in order to make more money. | |

When Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty unexpectedly changed the protagonist of the game from Solid Snake to Contrasting Sequel Protagonist Raiden, both the game and Raiden were heavily criticised. In response to this, Raiden is often shown attempting to become the main character of the franchise in non-canon comedy material. In a bonus video in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Raiden decides to go back in time and kill Big Boss so that Snake would never be cloned and therefore Raiden would end up being the main character for the series. However, whenever he time travelled, he always ended up in a sticky situation during the game, ended up getting hurt instead of another character, and ended up creating a time paradox due to changing the future. Eventually, he becomes desperate enough to actually try and kill Snake back in the original Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake game for the MSX2, but is shot by Big Boss himself in the attempt. In the end, he figures it's just more trouble than it's worth. Raiden in Snake Tale E is introduced as a "demon" capable of making an entire universe about him, and unleashed in a last-ditch attempt by Solidus to put Snake off his trail. The player is then tasked with completing various missions as Raiden with increasingly nonsensical plot between these episodes - the only way out of them is for the player to ragequit, at which point Snake regains control of the story. A pre-release trailer for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots showed Snake tussling with guards for the right to sit in a chair declaring him the Main Character... and then when he wins it, he takes off his Latex Perfection mask to reveal he was actually Raiden the whole time (to a chorus of audience booing). Snake then shows up and gets the chair from Raiden. |

Before his pair of spinoff series rose in popularity, Wario from the series made a habit of trying to claim things that belonged to Mario. In the Super Famicom game Mario's Super Picross, he manages to take over the entire game and title screen at one point. This tendency is also referenced in the opening sequence of Mario Golf 64, where he mutters that the game should have been named after him; and Mario Party 2, where he is the first to dispute Mario Land's name. | |

Season 8 of Apex Legends had the character Mad Maggie temporarily take control of the games as an announcer in the Chaos Theory and War Games limited-time events. She was formerly Walter "Fuse" Fitzroy's close friend from Salvo, whom she had a falling out with after her displeasure at his decision to join the Apex Games. She becomes the games' announcer after the announcement of the Salvo joining the coalition of Syndicate-controlled planets, and did so in retaliation against Fuse. | |

This ends up happening in Episode 7 of WandaVision following The Reveal. After the seemingly innocent Nosy Neighbor Agnes reveals herself to be the Wicked Witch Agatha Harkness, she taunts Wanda by presenting a sitcom opening of her own. Said opening, "Agatha All Along", is accompanied by its own Expository Theme Tune Villain Song while showing all the ways Agatha was manipulating Wanda's show in the background. | |

The Shredder did this to 4Kids Entertainment during the FoxBox Saturday Morning block, threatening to drain the colors of every animated show on the block such as Sonic X and Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, therefore kicking off the FoxBox Color Drain Sweepstakes. Then, in early 2006, Cobra Commander takes over the 4KidsTV Saturday Morning block, renaming it into Cobra TV. This kicked off the Cobra Domination Station Sweepstakes. And let's not forget The Fight for the FoxBox, in which Wayne Cramp hired most of the 4Kids villains to take over the Saturday Morning block. | |

The Beano: Right before the introduction of baby sister Bea, Dennis got so fed up with his parents acting secretive that he announced he wouldn't be showing up in the next issue. Cue several secondary characters scrambling to take his place on the cover, annoying him into taking it back. During the "Gnasher Come Home" storyline in 1986, Gnasher's Tale was taken over by Walter's pet poodle, becoming Foo-Foo's Fairy Story. (Afterwards it became Gnasher & Gnipper, following the reveal that Gnasher had disappeared to become a father.) |

Done in the Darkwing Duck episode "Comic Book Capers." Not the show, precisely, but a comic book based on it. His massive ego disagreeing with his depiction, Darkwing sets out to write it himself. The rest of the cast keeps interrupting, finding it, and adding their own bits. Not exactly starring themselves, but putting their own spin on events. A later episode has a TV executive trying to downgrade Darkwing's role and make Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain Green Thumb Bushroot star of his own series. |

House of Mouse: One incident had Mickey give Donald control of the House due to an emergency. Donald promptly turns the House of Mouse into the House of Cluck... er... House of Yuck... erm... House of Pancakes... oh, you know what we mean. This is the premise of Mickey's House of Villains, a Halloween special edition in which Jafar, Captain Hook, Ursula, Maleficent, and other famous Disney villains conduct a hostile takeover of the eponymous House of Mouse. (Surprisingly, this is in no way connected to Kingdom Hearts, which was released a short month before the movie.) "IT'S OUR HOUSE NOW!" |

The Batman Adventures #30 is an issue built around a caper by trio of largely humorous Canon Foreigner villains and a few other frustrated individuals, where Batman is absent from the main action until the last panel. The cover depicts an attempt to put their names over the title (Mr. Nice's placard lying in the back, being bossed into putting "Mastermind Adventures" up top, the Perfesser propped on his elbow off to one side like he doesn't care) while Batman stands in the foreground looking like he's got a headache or something. | |

Advertising for Deadpool 2 involved Deadpool literally hijacking himself into the boxarts of other movies (which is a very Deadpool thing to do), with those movies then in turn including a discount on the screening of Deadpool 2. This does not, however, extend to the original movies themselves, which are still Deadpool-free. | |

In the Dept. Heaven series, Yggdra first appeared in Knights in the Nightmare as a Continuity Porn gag, narrating the tutorials and making loads of disparaging remarks about how she makes a better protagonist than Maria. As of the rerelease of the game, she has become its third heroine; she's even appeared in the concept art for the next game. Amusingly, Yggdra's own protagonist status in the Ancardia games is slowly but surely being usurped by Yggdra Union's Hero Antagonist, Gulcasa. | |

For the 2018 "Midsummer's Nightmare" reviews of Longbox of the Damned, Dr. Linksano took over the role of the show's host from Moarte so he could showcase Godzilla comics, which leaned more into sci-fi territory than horror comics that were usually featured. Moarte eventually returned by the end of the month and sternly tells Linksano to leave when he suggests becoming the show's permanent host. | |

Whenever Jon Stewart is temporarily unable to host The Daily Show, correspondents sit in for him. Once, Steve Carell got rather too attached to the job and Jon's first episode back was spent trying to keep Steve away from his desk. Then, during the 2008 election, the revelation that Obama was now "The Man" led black correspondents Larry Wilmore and Wyatt Cenac to briefly take over the The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Normal service was resumed by the commercial break. Subverted in a opening segment in 2011 parodying congressman Weiner's press conference, when Stewart announced his resignation and left John Oliver in charge. When Oliver had taken over the anchor's desk following the intro sequence Stewart immediately chased him off, declaring it had been just a bit piece. Although this one actually came to fruition two years later when Jon Stewart left for an extended hiatus to direct a movie, and Jon Oliver became the correspondent sitting in. The rest of the cast promptly rebelled. |

In Soul Nomad & the World Eaters, defeating an early Hopeless Boss Fight causes Asagi, a recurring character in Nippon Ichi games, to enter the gameworld, fresh from her apprenticeship under Zetta in Makai Kingdom. Asagi demands the protagonist and Gig hand over their spot as main character to her, and since neither are meta-savvy and have no comprehension of what she's talking about, Hilarity (as well as an Optional Boss fight) Ensues. This is pretty much Asagi's schtick in the games she appears in. She'll often try and fail to take the role of Protagonist via You Kill It, You Bought It. She first appeared in Makai Kingdom as "The Protagonist from the next Game". Sadly, her game (supposedly Makai Wars) was never released, so she goes from game to game bemoaning her fate and trying to take the lead role. Taken to hilarious extremes in Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? where she tries to emulate the Prinnies and repeatedly challenges them. This culminates in a boss battle with her in a Prinny costume, which she apparently put a bomb in for no reason, that explodes, killing her. She comes back as a Black Prinny with a white scarf wondering if now she can get her own game. Which she sorta does. The sequel gives us Asagi Wars, where Prinny Asagi is the playable charcter and all the bosses are alternate versions of Asagi. So she apparently succeeded, Sorta. She appears in Disgaea 3 and accuses Mao of stealing her game from her and fights him. When she loses she bursts into tears thinking her game is lost forever until Mao recruits her. It's later revealed that Baal was the real culprit. He escapes before giving it or anything else he took back however. She also shows up in the secret ending to Disgaea Infinite where she complains to Amazombie for losing her package (Ticktock) which is apparently the key to getting her own game. She then randomly hops on a dragon and shouts that Makai Wars will one day get its epic release. |

Variation in Homestuck. Doc Scratch suddenly takes over narration duties twice, the second time even changing the website to a pool theme. This counts because the narrator is author Andrew Hussie, who literally bursts through the fifth wall to take the story back, knocking out Scratch in the process. Sucker. Then Doc Scratch returns as Lord English, and promptly shoots Andrew down. Then comes Act 6 Act 6, which is basically a recap written by a very frustrated Caliborn. The Homestuck Epilogues continues to play with the idea, having at one point two characters each trying to hijack the position of narrator from each other. One of them explains how, even when both are merely commenting on objective fact within the story, their own bias as narrator inevitably will skew the audience's perspective and can result in very different stories being told. |

In Batman: The Brave and the Bold the first clue to something being up is Joker appearing instead of Batman in the teaser. Followed by Bad Guys winning and ending with an Earth-Shattering Kaboom. The intro then starts, Joker has now taken over the episode and renamed the show Joker: The Vile and the Villainous! Complete with HAHAHAs sprayed over everything. The main episode even plays up Batman as the villain, while Joker teams up with his idol The Weeper to get him back in the game. | |

In Makai Kingdom, the Optional Boss battle against Etna opens with one of her On the Next segments from Disgaea: Hour of Darkness in which she goes on to narrate about how she'll steal Zetta's title and become the main character. Naturally, winning the battle allows Zetta to throw this right back at her as he goes on to narrate his own On the Next segment which is a several-minute long rant about how awesome he is. | |

DuckTales (2017) got two. The first, with Launchpad McQuack, has him struggling to catch up with Scrooge and co., making references to airplanes while doing so. The second, starring Flintheart Glomgold, consists mostly of pot-shots at Scrooge, has him run out of budget, and ends with Glomgold getting visited by Scrooge's lawyers (who charge him with copyright infringement). This intro, minus the ending with the lawyers, was actually used for the episode "GlomTales!" | |

Undertale has one of the most nightmarish examples in fiction. After beating Asgore during the Neutral path, Flowey suddenly jumps in and steals the six human souls he was going to use to destroy the barrier and turns into Photoshop Flowey before hijacking the entire game. What follows is a series of fourth-wall shattering madness including force quits of the game, changing the game's name in the title bar to "Floweytale", the overwriting of your save file to just before the Final Boss fight so he can kill you over and over again, exploiting Save Scumming to try and hit you with attacks that missed, and hijacking the game over screen to mock you. A more subtle, but far darker example occurs during the Genocide path. The further you go, the more and more the First Child starts sneaking control of Frisk from the player, starting with them talking through Frisk in ominous red letters from time to time, to having Frisk blindly advance towards NPCs they're trying to kill, to eventually making Frisk kill Asgore and Flowey with no input from the player. By the end of the game, the First Child completely controls Frisk and gets ready to erase everything to move on to kill things somewhere else, and if the player tries to stop them, they simply inform them that they were never truly in control before killing them and crashing the game. If you open the game again, the First Child denies you the ability to reset everything and start over until you sell your soul to them, which permanently taints all subsequent playthroughs and ensures that they always win in the end. |

Hoshin Engi: Taikobo's rationale for fighting Zhou's spy boils down to worrying that this is about to be enacted on him. Though as is usual for him, Taikobo has an ulterior motive — to get the spy on his side, which first requires her to start thinking more positively of his side. He does this by setting up a festival with their fight as the centerpiece, which has some of Taikobo's allies cheering her on. When Taikobo seemingly dies fighting Chou Komei, the villain, after mourning his opponent, proceeds to celebrate the manga's end, roll the credits and introduce his new manga that will replace this story. After a few pages though, Yozen and Genshi Tenson interrupt the show and everything goes back to normal. |

She appears in Disgaea 3 and accuses Mao of stealing her game from her and fights him. When she loses she bursts into tears thinking her game is lost forever until Mao recruits her.

In Disgaea 2, various secondary characters will propose to the Dark Assembly that they should be the main character. Actually passing one of these proposals results in a Nonstandard Game Over. In addition, Laharl, the main character of the first game, complains that he only loses to the player characters (as an optional boss) because he wasn't the main character anymore. His whining is...whiny enough that Adell (The current main character) takes pity on him and allows Laharl to resume being the main character...for one minute. Laharl decides to use that minute in an anime sequence. Hilarity Ensues. This returns in #3, #4, and other Nippon Ichi games. Asagi is also a major contender: ever since her game was cancelled, she frequently appears in other Nippon Ichi games, trying to take over as the protagonist. Apparently, she won't stop until she finally gets her own damn game, Makai Wars. On the other side, Etna hates having her On the Next sequences interrupted, and tends to react violently when it does happen. Flonne's preview for Episode 7 (Drop Dead, Etna) is a Magical Girl parody that gets her shot. Gordon regularly interrupts Etna's preview for Episode 10, and each of her lines is cut off with fewer words before he starts talking. Finally, Flonne's Q&A Time starts off with a letter about some bully stealing the writer's fun. Flonne gives a (surprisingly) violent suggestion on how to fix the problem, and Etna pops on stage to agree with her. Guess who wrote the letter? Even Disgaea 5 has an example. After Seraphina gains too much weight from eating curry in a cooking contest she was judging, Usalia mourns the loss... only to immediately push an advertisement for her new show afterwards. At the very least she had the dignity not to interrupt Sera. |

Snake then shows up and gets the chair from Raiden. | |

2000 AD: In October 1996, Tharg had to go deal with a crisis, and so the comic was taken over by The Men in Black from Vector 13 for about 10 issues. The Regened all-ages issues open with an editorial from Tharg's nephew Joko-Jargo declaring that he's running things now. He sometimes calls it a takeover, while acknowledging that his uncle considers it an authorised and temporary handover. |

Inverted in Chowder, where Chowder becomes insanely smart to the degree where he realizes he's in a cartoon and decides that because he's so smart, he should be on a talk show instead. In fact, this is later briefly referenced by Chowder (who has been returned to normal) in another episode. This may be a Lampshade Hanging done by the writers, considering how ridiculous that episode was. And that's saying a lot. |

History repeats at the end of the act when P03 uses his own OLD_DATA fragment to steal the game. The Mycologist can be encountered as an Optional Boss in Act 3. He hijacks P03's body for the fight and institutes his own special battle setup and music; after the fight, the Scrybe has no memory of what happened. |

Gintama: A variant occurs in episode 8. At the beginning of the episode, Gintoki is asleep, and the sponsors get frustrated and forego the opening to cut to the filming of a Shinsengumi mockumentary (tying into the A-plot of Kondou's obsessive love for Otae). Ten minutes later, when Gintoki is approached by Shinpachi, he goes off into a rant about being left out for so long and then scrambles to retain his position as main character when Shinpachi mentions the Shinsengumi would replace him if he didn't shape up. In the manga, played for slightly more drama in the Kintama arc. |

In the Garfield and Friends episode, "Change of Mind", it plays out like a "Garfield's Tales of Scary Stuff", except Nermal is the central focus and does the narration. In the end, things return to normal for Nermal, but now Jon is doing the narration and is the focus. Of course, Garfield himself doesn't take kindly to any of this. This was also done in the earlier episode "The Genuine Article", featuring a cat named Gabriel who resembles Garfield a little too closely, including most of his characterization. In a dream sequence, Garfield fears that he'll end up stealing his girl, his show, and worst of all, his merchandising. |

Super Mario Bros.: Before his pair of spinoff series rose in popularity, Wario from the series made a habit of trying to claim things that belonged to Mario. In the Super Famicom game Mario's Super Picross, he manages to take over the entire game and title screen at one point. This tendency is also referenced in the opening sequence of Mario Golf 64, where he mutters that the game should have been named after him; and Mario Party 2, where he is the first to dispute Mario Land's name. Mario Party 2: After playing the other five boards for the first time, Koopa Kid kidnaps Toad, takes over the main menu and forces the player to play their next game on Bowser Land. Mario Party 6: The minigame mode "Speak Up" has a tendency to be taken over by Bowser at the half-way point. Waluigi has been known to do this ever since the first Mario Tennis (as seen here◊), which was his debut game, so it's not just something Brawl in the Family came up with. Certain bits and pieces of the board Waluigi's Island in Mario Party 3 imply that the board used to belong to Luigi. The board also shares certain traits with Luigi's Engine Room from the original Mario Party. Not so much a Hostile Show Takeover as a Hostile Level Takeover, but it still fits. |

In an episode of SCTV, the Soviet Union blocked the SCTV satellite to broadcast "CCCP-1" programming instead (including such shows as "Tibor's Tractor," "Uposcrabblenyk" and "What Fits Into Russia?". Ironically, CCCP-1 actually gets better ratings than SCTV! | |

One of the intros to the Slimer! segments of The Real Ghostbusters had Manx, a cat that often antagonizes Slimer in the series, attempt this by presenting a sign reading "The Manx Show". Slimer promptly knocks the sign down on top of Manx to reveal the "Slimer!" title. | |

In Pony POV Series, after Makarov captures the heroes and knocks Shining Armor out cold, the next chapter is called "Cervicorn POV Series Makarov The True and Ultimate Truth of True Events Starring, Directed and Edited and Produced By General-Admiral Solomon Azure Raven Makarov". Makarov forces The Interviewers to listen to his life story, where he incessantly brags about, lies, and exaggerates his accomplishments, while Dima tells them what really happened. He even takes over the Author's Notes and fills it with more bragging about himself. It goes back to normal in the next chapter. | |

Adam Connover has been on both sides of this in Adam Ruins Everything. As the show's host, his Reality Warper abilities allow him to take over everything from homemade sex ed videos to a parody of Dr. Oz in the course of dispelling misinformation and educating people, usually against their will. On the flip side, those powers and control of the show can be stolen from him if someone knows something he doesn't. Which usually means that Adam is in for an unwanted lesson. | |

When Chester A. Bum was about to review Rango, he was called offscreen and punched by Raoul Puke, who said he should review the movie as "he was in it" (referencing a brief cameo by "Hunter S. Thompson"). In the Man of Steel review, General Zod takes Chester's place because he was the Big Bad in it. By the end of the review, Chester arrives late and Zod promptly leaves, causing Chester to wonder why the review is ending so early and where the hole in the ceiling came from. |

On one VeggieTales video, Archibald Asparagus took over the show. He presented the segments from a Masterpiece Theatre-style armchair in front of a fireplace. The two halves were Omelet and Gilbert and Sullivan's "lost musical", "Lyle the Kindly Viking", separated in the middle by "Classy Songs With Larry". Another time, two nerdy squash named Jimmy and Jerry Gourd took over the show. (This was not a hostile takeover; they were trying to be helpful to Bob, who had been on vacation.) Their episode, titled "The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill and Came Down With All the Bananas," teemed with Stylistic Suck, leading to a mild scolding from Bob. However, after Bob and Larry presented a traditional story, Bob relented and let them sing the song at the end. |

The Amazing World of Gumball: In "The Extras", the background characters hijack the show to make Gumball and Darwin (or possibly the audience) pay attention to them. In an amazingly inverted case, Gumball and Darwin try to take over their own show in "The Others". When they find out there's more to Elmore High than just their class, the episode starts to become a Lower-Deck Episode about a previously unseen (in the literal sense) mopey student named Clare Cooper, who's coming to terms with how she is moving to a new town and how she struggles to say her last good-byes. Cue Gumball and Darwin forcing themselves into her story in an effort to give her a much happier life while not realizing that they're just hogging the spotlight, much to her rapidly-increasing annoyance. In "The Disaster", Rob finds out Elmore is fictional and believes sending Gumball to the void will let him become the hero. Again happens by accident in "The Test": Gumball changes his personality to become more popular so Tobias takes over his role in the show and turns it into a cliché sitcom. In "The Spinoffs", Rob partially succeeds in removing Gumball from the series by capturing the internet. Problem is, none of the characters Rob tries to make the new protagonist can keep the show going. |

In "FitzPatrick", Patrick's titular Evil Twin locks Patrick away in a Time Machine and decides to hold the show himself to ruin Patrick's reputation. Rather than Patrick's brand of innocent, wacky hijinks, Fitz directly insults the audience and gets them injured. In "Stuntin'", GrandPat (working as Patrick's Obvious Stunt Double) ends up stealing the Patrick Show away from him. |

This is the plot of My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! in a manner of speaking. Katarina was originally an antagonist in an otome game called Fortune Lover who ends up being killed or exiled in the two routes where she's a rival. When an unnamed Japanese girl ends up reincarnating as her, her attempts to avoid her potential fates end up leading to all four of the love interests falling for her instead (as well as the rivals from the other two routes and the heroine herself). She is, naturally, completely oblivious to all of their affection. | |

In a bonus video in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Raiden decides to go back in time and kill Big Boss so that Snake would never be cloned and therefore Raiden would end up being the main character for the series. However, whenever he time travelled, he always ended up in a sticky situation during the game, ended up getting hurt instead of another character, and ended up creating a time paradox due to changing the future. Eventually, he becomes desperate enough to actually try and kill Snake back in the original Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake game for the MSX2, but is shot by Big Boss himself in the attempt. In the end, he figures it's just more trouble than it's worth. | |

In Living Color! had a couple. At the beginning of one episode, when one of the Fly Girls introduced Keenan Ivory Wayans, Shawn Wayans locked the door Keenan was about to enter through and said, "... can't be here tonight. Keenan's a little tied up right now so he asked me to host the show instead. My name is Shawn Wayans, better known as DJ SW-1, the second-youngest and most talented member of the family." When Shawn asked for a spotlight - not on the Fly Girls, just on him - the girls let Keenan out and he took Shawn off the stage. One of the dance segments featured the female cast members (Kelly Cofield, T'Keyah Crystal Keymah and Kim Wayans) dancing instead of the Fly Girls. At the end, it's revealed that they had kidnapped and tied up the Fly Girls. |

This happened during the Yogscast 2012 Christmas livestreams. When Strippin and InTheLittleWood were streaming Halo 4 and left to get some food, Lewis Brindley and Simon Lane decided to hijack the stream and keep playing through the campaign. They were on for about half an hour before Strippin and Martyn returned to kick them out with nerf guns. | |

In Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series, Bakura wants to usurp the main character spot so he may turn the show into his own: Zorc And Pals. Tea, Tristan and Bakura's ill fated attempts to get some screen time in episode 16: Fanservice. They seem to have accepted their roles as ineffectual minor characters now though. Noah and the Big Five had the entire show cancelled and taken over by 4Kids. |

Monty Python's Flying Circus: The "Njorl's Saga" production, sponsored by the North Malden Icelandic Saga Society, begins to reference business opportunities in North Malden more and more, then the screen flashes the message "INVEST IN MALDEN", briefly at first, then more insistently, as 12th-century warrior re-enactors parade banners advertising North Malden across the screen. The two documentary filmmakers fighting over the microphone and trying to finish their report. The documentaries start going to war to get the screen time. |

One Pearls Before Swine comic strip series had Rat place chains and locks on the panels and forcing creator Stephan Pastis to obey his whims. He did it by uttering punchlines from The Great Big Book of Garfield until he did, which drove Pastis insane and said would destroy Pearls. Another one happened when Pastis went on vacation for a week; Rat hijacked the strip and turned it into an Alice in Wonderland parody that ended in a character called "the Raterpillar" eating every character in the strip. Based on the final line in the arc, he would have eventually moved on to eating characters from other strips had Pastis not intervened. |

Warner Brothers' Duck Amuck (spoilers ahead) has the animator repeatedly sabotaging Daffy Duck, the supposed star of the cartoon, using pencil and eraser to mess with the scenery, the costumes, the colour, the character himself, the entire universe. It's psychedelic and wholly freaky. At the end, the saboteur-cum-animator is revealed to be, of course, none other than Bugs Bunny. There's also the sequel, Rabbit Rampage, where the same thing happens to Bugs, who, to his credit, keeps his cool better than Daffy did. The animator this time is revealed to be Elmer Fudd. |

An XSplit password leak from late 2015 caused several internet personalities to fall victim to this. Vinesauce Joel had his YouTube channel hijacked by a script kiddie for six days in early November of 2015, while Lyle McDouchebag and YourMovieSucks.org had their Twitter accounts taken by the same perpetrator on the third day. In late January 2016, Markiplier and Lucahjin had their YouTube channel and Twitter account respectively taken from them by different hijackers, but the accounts were recovered in a matter of hours due to fans reporting their accounts almost immediately. Joel's case is arguably one of the most infamous in this decable. His channel had been taken over on a Saturday, and Google failed to respond since their employees don't work on weekends. His hijacker caused a tremendous rise out of Vinesauce fans through mocking Joel, privatizing & deleting videos to spite Joel's viewers, and threatening to hack his PayPal account to financially defraud him. Vinesauce Vinny was forced to call out fans for their volatile responses to the incident, and the whole Vinesauce team now chooses to pretend that the incident never happened and urges fans to do the same, believing that giving any kind of attention to the hijacking would fulfil the hijacker's intentions (hence why the perpetrators of these incidents are never referred to by name on This Very Wiki). |

One of TNA's favorite tropes, its popularity rivaled closely by invasion angles (no, not that one), whose perpetrators usually have this trope in mind anyway in the event their invasion would ever succeed. From Vince Russo's "Sports Entertainment Xtreme" to Jeff Jarrett's Kings Of Wrestling turned Planet Jarrett, to the Main Event Mafia to Aces And Eights, TNA spent 55% of the first twelve years it existed under state of hostile takeover or in active combat with a group trying to hostilely take it over. After those twelve years, TNA didn't stop being taken over either (indeed, Montel Vontavious Porter's usurpation of Impact was only shocking in its predictability), the Aces And Eights saga is just where track stopped being taken. | |

Though, during their 2006 run, this trope was deconstructed when the following RAW, they were forced to apologize to the roster on live television as their hostile takeover was illegal. It only got worse, as the RAW they took over had them cost Edge his last chance to regain the WWE Title, and directly led to the formation of Rated-RKO. | |

One of those articles happened to report scandalous rumours about the Queen of one of the player countries. That player's response? Order soldiers to take over the city the newspaper was centred in. The Game Master had to stage a riot in order to restore control of the paper back to the original player. | |

Parodied in Third Rate Gamer as a Take That! to The Irate Gamer's use of this trope. In TRG's Rocket Knight Adventures review, the Evil Rate Gamer takes over the show and slaps on a Special Edition Title, which just consists of his old intro played in reverse with a negative filter and "Evil" sloppily edited over "Third". | |

Amphibia got three, though the first doesn't actually fall under this trope (instead reimagining the show intro as a sprite-based video game that Anne and Sprig are playing on the former's phone). This trope is played straight with the other two, as Sasha and Marcy each got their own Takeovers that released after the show's first and second seasons, respectively, once again making lyrics to the instrumental theme. In addition to altering the instrumentation to match the characters, these "Takeovers" are also technically canon to the series, as they give official explanations for what they were doing during the first season while the show was focusing on Anne in Wartwood. | |

The Transformers (Marvel): This once happened to the letters page of the UK series. Letters were answered in-character by an individual character. During the reign of the Decepticon Soundwave he was once said to be out of action and replaced for one issue by the Autobot Ratchet, who basically used his replies to say that the Decepticons were evil. | |

Marble Hornets: In Entry #77, Tim hijacks the show from an increasingly insane Jay, taking the latter's camera and control of the YouTube channel. In a more typical example, the antagonistic character totheark regularly hijacks the channel and uploads videos of his own, which can usually be distinguished immediately from the main entries by the "Entry #" title card being absent or in some way inconsistent with the standard entries. |

In one episode of Peewees Playhouse Randy takes over the show while Pee Wee is out shopping. He tries to change everything, such as getting everyone to bark like a dog instead of scream when they hear the secret word. Luckily, Magic Screen puts a stop to it by trapping Randy in a jail cell when he tried to play "connect the dots" and refused to let him out until Pee-wee came home. | |

In the Brazilian Mega Man comic Novas Aventuras de Megaman, one writer introduced an Original Character Villain Sue named Princess, whom he ultimately intended to kill off the rest of the cast (yes, including the canonical cast of the Mega Man series) and become the new main character. When the people making the comic learned of his plans, the writer was promptly fired and Princess was shoved through a dimensional portal, never to be seen again. | |

In The Jim Henson Hour, Gonzo and Leon try this. It's subverted in that Kermit allows them to take over so he can take a break. Things quickly fall to pieces from there. | |

Dexter's Laboratory has Mandark electrocuting Dexter instead of Dee Dee in the intro with the title sign reading Mandark's Laboratory complete with all the shorts centered around Mandark. However, Dexter does get back at him near the end of the show when he electrocutes Mandark much like the intro. | |

Gravity Falls mixes this with The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: Bill Cipher finally attains physical form, and takes over both the titular town and the show itself in Season 2 Episode 18, which results in the title of the episode being changed from "Weirdmageddon" to "Xpcveaoqfoxso". He also takes over the theme song and turns it into a demon-filled nightmare version, changes "Created by Alex Hirsch" to "Created by Bill Cipher", replaces the end-of-intro backwards whisper with himself telling the audience "I'm watching you nerds!", and even the promos for the episode were incredibly glitchy due to his influence. | |
