In the interests of full disclosure, we are describing Our Lawyers Advised This Trope here. Pursuant to the avoidance of unnecessary civil litigation and criminal prosecution, a variety of disclaimers, notices, and even changes to the actual work, are present in modern fiction, usually in the packaging of said works, before the beginning if applicable, or during the opening and/or ending credits if applicable. These may be mandated with threats of legal actions by government bodies or could be attempts by the well-advised creators to reduce their vulnerability to civil litigation from civilian citizens. Please note that these threats may or may not be actually true, considering the number of people who do exactly the opposite of this disclaimer and still roam the streets at night, but we are heavily implying that you follow them anyway. Parodies of the trope may, or may not, have some overlap with Suspiciously Specific Denial. See separate documents, heretofore referred to as the Sub Tropes of this Super-Trope, called This Is a Work of Fiction and Don't Try This at Home, for instances relating to said notices. Our lawyers recommend you see also Content Warnings, No Animals Were Harmed, Side Effects Include.... They also explicitly deny the implications of Screwed by the Lawyers regarding the diligence of legal professionals with respect to media properties. |

The Fight Club DVD had a warning from Tyler Durden. Though if you make the effort to freeze-frame the warning so you can read it, it tells you to get out and do something instead of wasting your life reading secret messages on DVDs. | |

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: Raoul Duke's lawyer, Dr. Gonzo, frequently began sentences with the phrase, "As your attorney, I advise you to...". Said "advice" was almost never legal, and in fact was often blatantly illegal, e.g., recommending that he take a hit of adrenochrome. Reportedly, Oscar Zeta Acosta, whom Dr. Gonzo was based off of, had this particular verbal habit in Real Life, hence Thompson's inclusion of it in the novel. | |

A Postman Plod strip in Viz ended with the title character being fired from the Royal Mail, getting a reference which described him as a lazy, clumsy idiot, and then going to work for a new employer whose interviewer greeted him with "Welcome to Initial (REMOVED ON LEGAL ADVICE)". In-context to anyone who read the strip at the time, it would probably have been obvious that the new employer was meant to be Initial City Link, then a prominent courier company in the UK.note (The only other company the punchline would likely have been seen as referencing was Initial Rentokil, and having Plod go work for a pest control company would have made for a rather illogical punchline) | |

The Simpsons: Parodied in "Dog of Death" with "No dogs were harmed during the production of this episode. A cat threw up and somebody shot a duck, but that's it." In "Politically Inept, with Homer Simpson", Homer is putting up with unfair treatment on an airplane, and a disclaimer appears saying that if we're watching this episode on a plane, the airline depicted is not the one you're on. The ending of "The President Wore Pearls" has a claim that "Our lawyers had us insist we have absolutely no knowledge of a musical based on the life of Eva Perón. |

Any issue of The Beano in days gone by would have included its child characters, caught out in mischief, being up-ended over an adult's lap and roundly spanked for their sin with hand, slipper, cane or belt. Corporal punishment in D.C. Thompson-published comics lasted long after its abolition in schools. The issue was only really confronted when Scotland passed laws to make physical punishment of children an act of illegal child abuse. Therefore the Dundee-based publishers of these comics could not be seen condoning actions likely to breach Scottish law. It was well into the 1990's when the father of Dennis the Menace kept his slippers exclusively for wear on his feet, and the long-suffering teacher of the Bash Street Kids hung up his cane for the last time. | |

In The Fifth Elephant, the emergency signal flare rockets for the clacks tower have the warning "Do Not Place In Mouth". This turns out to foreshadow how Vimes kills Wolfgang (a werewolf that can only be killed by fire or silver): he tricks him into catching one of the rockets in his mouth before the flare goes off. Did it contain nuts too? This may be a shout-out to a certain Darwin Award winner who was posing for a photograph with a lit firework clenched between his teeth, failed to spit it out in time and blew his head off. |

Total Drama Action: After DJ goes flying into the power lines and gets electrocuted, Leshawna asks Chris if he's going to send for help. Chris begins laughing hysterically, at which point, the show pauses and pans away to show Chris some time in the future, reading from a script about how Total Drama totally cares about the welfare of its competitors and how no animals got hurt. He doesn't even try to make it convincing. | |

The Bretonnia sourcebook for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay starts with the disclaimer that Games Workshop, Black Industries and the author do not endorse the sexism which is part of the Bretonnia setting, and which was included because the author believed that women pretending to be men made interesting characters.

Melody contains a disclaimer that basically states that the story doesn't violate any laws or Patreon guidelines. Since the creators had gotten burned for violating Patreon's guidelines once before, you can imagine how fastidiously they kept to this. | |

In Fallout: New Vegas, the Courier can take a tour of the headquarters of REPCONN, a pre-War rocket manufacturer that used a wide variety of nuclear waste as fuel and had frequent problems with their prototypes exploding or crashing into people's homes. Every single exhibit on the tour features at least one (and usually two or three) legal disclaimers regarding the terminology used. | |

James Bond Films: A View to a Kill opened with a disclaimer that the villain's name "Zorin" was not based on any real-life person or organization. The disclaimer was added when it was discovered a company with a similar name did exist, but well after filming and too late to make any changes. The Living Daylights in certain showings and video releases featured a disclaimer regarding the use by the villains of the Red Cross/Red Crescent emblems and pointing out that said actions were illegal under The Laws and Customs of War. Licence to Kill featured a recognizable brand of cigarettes in one scene. Despite the fact said cigarettes were disguising a bomb, the makers of the film were forced to add the Surgeon General's warning against smoking to the closing credits. |

The Trauma Center series, being a series of games based around surgery, has the bog-standard disclaimers that the player is not a qualified practitioner of medicine and thus should not attempt to practice medicine without proper licenses, degrees, or certifications. Trauma Center: Second Opinion has a bit of fun with this: Should the player complete all seven X operations, the player gets one final monologue that again states that the player is not an actual medical doctor and therefore shouldn't go straight into real-life surgery...and that if the player is an actual doctor, they probably shouldn't tell their patients how much they struggled with a (rather Nintendo Hard) video game about surgery. | |

Dragon Ball Z Abridged has this to say right before a young Gohan gets kicked by Raditz: "We here at Team Four Star do not condone child violence... we do, however, find it hilarious." Also, before their blooper reels (which typically contain large amounts of swearing), there is the disclaimer: "Warning. The following contains language unsuitable for minors. If you are under the age of 18 and have not heard the word "fuck" before... well, ya have now." |

One of GradeAUnderA's videos exposing Prank Channels specifies that there's only a possibility that the pranksters he brings up are fakes, and then proceeds to come up with an alternate explanation for everything suspicious - for example, when he sees a victim/paid actor turning violent during a prank, Grade points out that the prankster gets punched, but his head doesn't move in the same direction as the punch, which violates the law of conservation of momentum. As such, Grade concludes...that the laws of physics are incorrect. | |

Mario Party Superstars: The instruction screens for the original Mario Party minigames that require rotating the control stick advise players not to use their palm to spin it. Doing this was a common practice among players in the original Nintendo 64 version, and doing so could lead to getting blisters or lacerations, which caused many players to take legal action against Nintendo. This notice was likely put to prevent facing a lawsuit. | |

A weird one in The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya. While making their student film, Haruhi's subconscious Reality Warper powers start acting up, causing Mikuru to start shooting Eye Beams around, and a random cat they picked up to start talking. Haruhi is the only one who doesn't see any of this, so the rest of the brigade realize they need to convince her none of it is real without alerting her that it's, you know, real. Koizumi's suggestion is to end the movie with All Just a Dream, but that idea is shot down. Kyon uses this trope instead. | |

Discussed — and mocked — on Taskmaster. During one of the "prize rounds", Rose Matafeo brings in an unspooled cassette tape as a prize (long story) and jokingly claims that once it's been respooled, the tape plays the true identity of the assassin of John F. Kennedy. During the resulting discussion, Greg Davies quips that he'd love it if the identity of the assassin on the tape was musician and celebrity Peter Andre, which prompts David Baddiel to remark that Greg might want to offer one of these disclaimers in order to avoid any kind of legal action. Greg ruthlessly mocks the idea that anyone would seriously take legal action over the joking suggestion that Peter Andre of all people was part of a cabal to assassinate a US president, to the point that he boldly states "I think that Peter Andre killed JFK. Sue me." For what it's worth, Peter Andre was born about ten years after the assassination. There is of course no evidence whatsoever that Peter Andre is a Time Lord, a Victorian inventor with a strange machine in his basement, or some smeghead with an experimental time drive who really wants a curry. | |

The credits to Doctor Strange (2016) include a warning against reckless and distracted driving, based on how Strange had ruined his life doing so at the beginning of the film. This counts as "part parodic" because its placement calls back to a gag earlier in the film where Strange tests out a magic spell and then sees all the warnings against the dangers of using it, wondering why in the world the warning didn't come first. | |

Red vs. Blue made fun of those too. For the season one disc, the sign read something to the lines of "do not steal this disc, but you already know this. So don't eat it or throw it at your sister either." Then it switched to Spanish, which was the same as English, but with accent marks placed at random. One of the other seasons' DVDs' Spanish FBI warning had one sentence of Spanish followed by something like "This is basically the message above only in Spanish. To be honest, we only took one year of Spanish so the only phrases we know are 'Happy birthday!' and 'My cousin likes to walk on the beach.'" | |

An episode of Outside Xbox plays with this trope. Hosts Andy and Jane attempting to recreate a cocktail recipe that they had seen in Dishonored. However, because of the way the recipe was written and poor comma placement, the two of them believed it called for a handful of nutmeg. A warning appears underneath saying "Spoiler: This is too much nutmeg." Later, it says "Like, seriously, a dangerous amount of nutmeg. Do not eat this much nutmeg ever." | |

Satirical news quiz Have I Got News for You has a habit of adding "...allegedly" after saying anything that could get them sued. Despite the fact the players know that it has no legal effect whatsoever, and have commented on it. And they were actually charged with contempt of court and fined for the joke, "The BBC are in fact cracking down on references to Ian and Kevin Maxwell just in case programme-makers appear biased in their treatment of these two heartless, scheming bastards." The heartless scheming bastards' trial was about to start, and pointing out on television that they're heartless scheming bastards risks prejudicing the jury. There's footage from the taping of Ian Hislop expressing concern over leaving the joke in, but leave it in they did. |

On one Last Week Tonight with John Oliver episode, John Oliver gave away (well, sold for 25 cents) tickets to premium Yankees seats to whoever could come up with the most ridiculous outfits. (One set of winners dressed up like dragons, for example, and another went as Ninja Turtles.) This was a protest about Yankees owner blocking access to elite seating and accommodations to "someone who has never sat in a premium location". In regards to the end of a libel suit brought by Bob Murrey, John initially plays it straight by discussing how they've run things by their legal team "who are getting very tired of us by now"... but then does this when having a fake lawyer drag Murrey in a musical number that was apparently also run by said lawyers to avoid libel/slander... by being so outrageous that no reasonable person could assume the jokes were true. |

Parodied in the credits of the original Spyro the Dragon games. "No sheep were harmed in the production of this game." Later repeated in Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, which was made by the same developers. It also adds, "Except for one. He had it coming to him." Qwark featured one or two of these at the end of his own advertisements in the first game, too. And also parodied at the end of a campaign in Left 4 Dead, in which case it is used to show the body count. |

The Hitman World of Assassination Trilogy games open with a disclaimer similar to the ones from the Assassin's Creed series, indicating that the game was made by a multicultural team of various nationalities, religions, genders, and ethnic backgrounds. At no point do any of the games touch on any sensitive real-life religious, political, or racial controversies, so one does wonder what the purpose of the disclaimer is meant to achieve. It's possibly a response to the internet backlash the previous game Absolution received for including latex-clad dominatrix nun assassins as enemy characters, or the much older controversy from Hitman 2: Silent Assassin where one of the levels (a luxury hospital) was architecturally based on a real-life Sikh holy site. | |

DVDs by Blue Rhino, including Beast Wars and Mystery Science Theater 3000, have a pen drawing glasses and a mustache over J. Edgar Hoover's face during the FBI Warning. They also did this on VHS tapes as early as the '90s. | |

One episode of Inspector Morse had to have a particularly embarrassing disclaimer added to the end credits. The story involved the Inspector investigating a murder in a screwed-up upper-class family, with an extreme Asshole Victim named Sir John Balcombe. Unfortunately, it was realised too late that the Asshole Victim had exactly the same first name, surname, and knightly title as a senior judge, forcing a disclaimer to be read out after the episode explaining that the character had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the real person. | |

The Science of Discworld: The second book explores the phrase "may contain nuts", and how it came about in the notoriously Literal-Minded Ankh-Morpork: The Patrician feels very strongly about food labelling (an understandable view in a city like Ankh-Morpork), and asked the wizards of the Unseen University if they could prove whether an item did or did not in fact contain nuts. He wasn't satisfied with their answer that they couldn't be certain, because it was unhelpful. Hence, "may contain nuts". The book then proceeds to use it as a Running Gag. | |

Dr. Strangelove and Fail Safe both contain notices stating that, according to the US Air Force, the events of the films could never take place. Given that both movies are about accidental nuclear war, this was probably reassuring to the audience. Or the filmmakers were using a Suspiciously Specific Denial to imply that they could take place. Both movies came out in 1964, and while distrust in the government then was not quite as widespread as it would become by the end of the decade, there were a substantial number of people who, informed by the government that something couldn't possibly happen, would immediately start to regard it as something to be legitimately worried about. | |

South Park's opening disclaimer: Ironically, some networks have broadcast it with a genuine disclaimer either before or instead of the joke one. The ending credits of Trapped in the Closet ended with all of the names in the credits replaced with "John Smith" or "Jane Smith" because of the propensity of the Church of Happyology to sue their way out of trouble under various copyright and trademark laws. |

One episode featured Earth being repossessed by Da King of an alien planet. When Felix demanded to know what Da King did to Earth, he showed a film to explain it. The film had an FBI warning stating unauthorized duplication would result in "violent-type actions". |

The Three Stooges short "You Nazty Spy" begins with the following disclaimer: "Any resemblance between the characters in this picture and any persons, living or dead, is a miracle." This is a borderline example because at the time, The Hays Code prevented any movies from depicting any foreign power "in an unfavorable light", even the Nazis, and they could have gotten into trouble for it. | |

Irish folk-rockers the Horslips subverted this trope with a very large disclaimer on one LP sleeve. At the time of the official music industry disclaimer Home Taping is Killing Music! followed by a list of imperativesnote This was printed in very big letters on the inner sleeve and reminded buyers of the terrible apocalyptic outcome of borrowing a friend's paid-for copy and running off a tape, a large banner advert on the gatefold sleeve read You cannot, will not, shall not, are not allowed to, etc. If in doubt, consult your dealer. | |

Adverts for 6th-gen and earlier video game titles would often feature flashy rendered or FMV visuals which were much more impressive than the consoles could produce, resulting in the standard disclaimer, "Not representative of in-game graphics" (or alternately "Not actual gameplay"). Since this became the accepted norm, it is amusing that publishers often have an 'anti-disclaimer' on 7th-gen titles to let us know that now the games actually do look that good.note The push to realistic realtime rendering was helped with the ongoing duel between Sony's Gran Turismo series and Microsoft's counterpart Forza Motorsport; being able to pull off realistic realtime footage was a selling point for both of them and a focal point of their rivalry. Still shown straight occasionally to clear up any confusions over adverts only showing cut-scenes and not the actual gameplay. | |

In the Half in the Bag review of Jack and Jill, Mike and Jay make a very half-hearted attempt before making their case that the movie is basically a scheme to pump the cash from an inflated movie budget into the pockets of Sandler and his friends. Though the first two notes they start to read from their lawyers are themselves libelous (and even in the third, Mike has to change the word "cohorts" to "associates" as he is reading the statement.) | |

Assassin's Creed and its successors, due to their interaction with often controversial historical periods and events, have a message on startup that asserts the games are made by people "of all faiths and beliefs," and reminds the audience that the product is in fact fictional. This disclaimer was primarily made in the first game due to taking place during The Crusades and being released several years into The War on Terror. It's continued use in several of the later games is of questionable relevance and seems to be more out of habit than anything else. | |

Upon immediately trying it at home, the Lemony Narrator writes in her letter of formal complaint to the publishers that "before their lawyers point this out, while she did see the warning beforehand, she chose not to acknowledge it, so she couldn't possibly be held accountable for that." | |

The FBI has never been cuter than when advocated by Tessa Testarossa. "You wouldn't want me to have to put a cruise missile down your chimney, would you?" or scarier when advocated by Gauron: "Look, I'm a businessman, and digital piracy is bad for business. So don't do it, or else you and I might have to have some words in the future, got it friend?"
