The Shameless Self Promoter is the kind of narcissistic personality that is always out to promote its own credentials and knowledge. They will stick their accomplishments on anything and everything and don't hesitate at claiming responsibility for all good things. Often a strongly downplayed version of this will lampshade — more accurately brag about — their "shameless self-promotion". Compare: Small Name, Big Ego, Attention Whore, Stealing the Credit, Please Subscribe to Our Channel and Single-Issue Wonk (where the issue is themselves). |

Varric, in the Dragon Age universe, is a writer who enjoys promoting his most famous book, Hard in Hightown. However, his Nice Guy personality has him as the more downplayed version of the trope; his books sell well even without his involvement, and he seems to find the whole situation more amusing than anything. Most notably, he urges the players to "buy my book" in the video the developers made to say thanks for Dragon Age: Inquisition being nominated for Game of the Year 2014 (which it won). Come 2018, this has become even funnier now that Hard in Hightown is available as an actual book. | |

Clickhole has a pair of satirical articles "written" by a man allegedly writing about the political ideas of the day, but blatantly just pushing his B-Movie screenplay for Chronotaur: Labyrinth Of Time, and later also its sequel, Chronotaur 2: Thread Of Destiny: The first is If People Think There's a Quick Fix to Illegal Immigration They're as Misguided as the Scientists in My Screenplay "Chronotaur: Labyrinth of Time" This was later followed up with Abstinence-Only Education Is as Doomed to Fail as the Robo-Chronotaur Built to Fight the Chronotaur in My Screenplay "Chronotaur: Labyrinth of Time" |

Forest Kingdom: In the Hawk & Fisher spinoff series book 2 (Winner Takes All), Joshua Kincaid is one of a pair of mercenaries (along with his partner, Laurence Bearclaw) who help to protect James Adamant. He also has a sideline, writing chapbook adventure-stories and songs with himself as the hero under a nom de plume. | |

Dave Barry Slept Here claims that Donald Trump in 1989 purchased Ohio, the Coast Guard, the Italian Renaissance, and Mars, and renamed all of them "Trump." Dave Barry's "1987: Look Back In Horror" has Bob Woodward reporting the dying words of various late celebrities, who all seem to have been interested in promoting his forthcoming book Veil. |

Dante's Night at Freddy's: The Gainax Ending of Dante's Night at Freddy's 2: Animatronic Boogaloo features the story's writer, who is somewhat subtle in mentioning his other work at first, but crosses into this territory pretty quick. Dante disgustedly calls him out on this. In the third installment, the writer's ego and self-promotion has reached such ridiculous levels that Evie asks his girlfriend if he makes her wear a mask of his face when they have sex. |

Ultra Fast Pony does this as a parody. Episode 16 is titled "Shameless Self Reference", and it's filled with Call Backs, Continuity Nods, and references to the creator's other work — all complete with in-video hyperlinks. Then the episode ends with a Title Drop, and the end credits claim that the entire series was leading up to that one joke. | |

One episode of Taskmaster has Greg get in on this for a laugh. The contestants are tasked with making an announcement to the most possible people and Asim Chaudhry made his during the previous episode arguing that not only did their entire audience see it, but also people would see it on repeat on Dave. When he mentions the network, Greg looks dead into the camera, removes his glasses, puts on the most phony used car salesman smile imaginable, and adds that the channel does original content and is excellent at it. | |

In My Hero Academia, there's Mei Hatsume, from the Support Hero Course, who is constantly trying to promote her inventions (which she calls her "babies"). In fact, during the Sports Festival, her whole fight with Iida amounts to pretty much use him as a guinea pig to show off her gadgets, and once she's done she steps out of the ring and throws the match. | |

In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Gilderoy Lockhart takes every opportunity to refer to his past exploits and point out how useful his skills are to a given situation. He claims several prestigious titles, repeating them throughout the book, and has written several biographical works based on his adventures. Justified, because he never actually did any of those things. All of the adventures were stories he heard from other wizards before performing a memory charm and claiming to have done these things himself. So, if he didn't shamelessly self promote, he wouldn't be famous! | |

On the video game music podcast Nitro Game Injection, Larry Oji never wastes an opportunity to mention Overclocked Remix. This isn't so surprising, considering he's the Head Submissions Evaluator of the site. This is Lampshaded in the website description for episode 118, in which it's suggested that the listener takes a shot every time Larry mentions OCR. | |

The Stan Freberg Show was limited to a short run due to never obtaining a corporate sponsor. Stan Freberg therefore decided to mock the concept of sponsorship in the second-to-last episode by naming himself as the sponsor of a show that already had his name in the title and filling it with Parody Commercials for himself. | |
