comment
A specific form of Take That!, in which the producers of a show respond to criticism of the show through the show itself, either through subtle in-jokes that obliquely refer to the criticism, putting lines of dialogue into the mouths of the characters, or presenting parodies of their critics. The program may even break the fourth wall to directly address the critics.
Depending on the producer, this can come in many forms; gentle ribbing or parody of the critics and their position, pointed rejoinders, triumphant gloating, and — in extreme cases — over-the-top bile that leads to the strong assumption that the critics may have struck a delicate nerve (either that, or the producer just plain Can't Take Criticism).
Sometimes features the Straw Critic. Inverted Trope of Caustic Critic. This also qualifies the show as an Author Tract.
Subtrope of Write Who You Hate. Compare Take That, Audience!, when it's the viewers who are targets of in-show satire. See also Dear Negative Reader, when the creator directly addresses the critics without the vehicle of the show, and Insult Backfire, when the critics' own words are used against them.

The Emerald Phoenix contains a scene in chapter 10 responding to a reviewer who mocked the story for making Momo's hero name "Izanami the Creator", insisting it was highly inappropriate because Izanami is a goddess of death. Specifically, Melissa brings up that Izanami is a goddess of death, only for Momo to correct her Izanami was originally a goddess of creation, which is what Momo's emphasizing with her title, and that many deities have conflicting aspects (using the fact Freya is a goddess of both love and war).

The short-lived show Vengeance Unlimited had "Critical", an episode that incorporated many critics' negative statements. Most of these lines were given to the naïve 16-year-old computer whiz who was unwittingly helping the villain of the week, just to show how much they thought of the critics.

Might and Magic III includes a monster named "Scorpia", which is an ugly, gray-skinned, obese woman. It is no coincidence that Scorpia was the nickname of a female game journalist who had given Might and Magic II a scathing review... Reportedly, she felt "flattered" to be included in the game.

The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making was criticised because the Big Bad ruler of Fairyland in it, the Marquess, is a woman, and Marquess, despite common misconceptions, is the standard English spelling of Marquis, and not its feminine version. At the beginning of the final book in the series, The Girl Who Raced Fairyland all the way Home, it's revealed that she intentionally took a masculine title, and the characters who criticise her for it are depicted as smug, obnoxious snobs.

Occasionally happens in The Simpsons, usually through the mouth of the Comic Book Guy. When he points out a continuity error that the producers had made ("Should The Simpsons get a horse?" when they did have one in an earlier episode, with completely different circumstances), followed by Homer asking "Anyone care what this guy thinks?" - with the entire town yelling "No!" at him.
This Something Awful.com faked script for "The Simpsons Movie" mentions this joke in particular when it states "Good, if we point out our flaws then we don't need to fix them."
"The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show" is as much about Executive Meddling, Totally Radical, and Shoo Out the New Guy as it is fan criticism, though Comic Book Guy's critique tends to be what it's best remembered for (that and Poochie's ultimate fate).
In the episode "No Good Read Goes Unpunished" Marge and Lisa wonder what to do when a decades old piece of media is considered offensive. The camera then pans to a photo of Apu, signed "Don't have a cow". Marge and Lisa look directly at the camera and state that the problem will be dealt with later, if at all.

Both writers of Prehistoric Park Reimagined (Nathanoraptor and A-LionGleek) have allowed both that story and its spinoff Extras to include several lighthearted digs against multiple unnecessarily harsh and almost mean-spiritedly judgmental criticisms that were thrown against Reimagined's thematic predecessor Prehistoric Earth by Nathanoraptor's former cowriter Drew Luczynski.

In Spider-Man: No Way Home, while Peter and May are watching the news in their apartment, there is a Time Magazine cover that is spreading the Daily Bugle's libel, that is called "Iron Man Jr" and depicts a picture of a baby Spider-Man in a diaper crying, responding to all the fans online who called Tom Holland's Spider-Man this phrase and making it something Jameson and the mislead media would call him in the movie.

Very common in Teen Titans Go!, given its reputation as a divisive show. An episode or two a season is dedicated to mocking the show's vocal Hatedom. The show tends to revel in Self-Deprecation, so these episodes are as much the result of them loving playing up the show's infamous representation as it is them sincerely telling the hatedom to relax.
The episode "Let's Get Serious" had the Young Justice cartoon version of Aqualad pointing out how incompetent this iteration of the Titans was. The Titans thus decided to "get serious", but instead became parodic pastiches of Darker and Edgier comic book characters, and the end of the episode implies that things will go back to normal in the next episode. Notably, it's one of the few of the few non-special episodes that even the hatedom enjoys.
In "Más y Menos", when the Titans are seeing a video detailing Más and Menos' superpowers, there's a video in the upper right corner (that has a picture of a baby crying) that says "Teen Titanz NO!" by someone named ChildHoodDestroyed.
"The Return of Slade" is has a Bait-and-Switch title designed to drum up interest from older fans of the original series. Slade never appears onscreen, and the Titans proceed to talk about how awesome the "three episodes and a made-for-tv movie" was, with Beast Boy saying "It's too bad nobody will ever see it"! The rest of the episode is one big Author Tract involving BB and Cyborg getting upset that a clown they hired is too silly, so they turn it into a psychotic Monster Clown. Raven says that "Clowns are supposed to be silly because THEY'RE FOR KIDS!", and claims that the two of them are letting nostalgia blind them and that they need to grow up. In case you didn't get it, the episode uses clowns as a thinly-veiled and obvious metaphor for the show itself, with Beast Boy and Cyborg standing in for the show's Hatedom.
Then there's the episode "The Fourth Wall" which mocks the critics by having the show's characters seemingly acknowledging the lack of quality, and working to improve themselves by making their humour more "high brow" by putting on British accents and talking generally about politics, emphasizing emotion and character by hamming up their lines, and finally boosting their animation by threatening the animators and changing their style to an almost Disney-esque style with faded colours and faux-traditionally animated backgrounds. However, at the end of the episode, they realize it's better to be true to one's self and return to form.
The episode “Toddler Titans… Yay� rehashes plot line from “The Fourth Wall� by having Control Freak once again making complaints towards the teen titans and being deemed in the wrong for it. This time however the episode takes jabs at those criticizing the show for only caring about appealing to little children and refusing to honor the legacy of the original series. This is carried out by having the Teen Titans sent to an alternate world that is a Dora The Explorer knockoff and having them cause havoc there to escape.
The second half of "Two Parter" not only took a jab at the critics but also had a cameo from "Weird Al" Yankovic as Darkseid that was meant to parody the more serious episodes of past DC productions.
"The Titans Show" takes it a step further by having the villains of the show play the role of the normal audience viewing the series. Control Freak reveals he was responsible for the last five episodes being held on an island to make the Titans more interesting for the villains to watch. Starfire questions why people who hate them all would devote so much time and energy watching them and the Titans show her the "brutal" comments left online about them. Control Freak reminds them that "opinions on the internet aren't accurate indicators of popularity and success."
"Teen Titans Roar!" is one towards critics of Thundercats Roar, with the Titans playing the role of the Hatedom decrying the reboot as ruining the franchise, except for Starfire, who plays the reasonable "normal" person who gives the new show a chance. This culminates in a battle between the Titans and the Roar! Thundercats where the Titans are easily defeated (except for Starfire, who didn't fight), after which the spirit of the original Lion-O descends from Heaven to declare Roar! a worthy successor to his show and that anyone who disagrees "has a poop mouth with poop opinions". At which point, Roar! Lion-O thanks him for the totally sincere and not forced endorsement.

In Candide, a Straw Critic who points out all the flaws during a play Candide is enjoying later is specified as "a pamphleteer - a Freron" - one of Voltaire's critics was Elie-Catherine Freron. This shot at critics is a little odd, given that a page or so later, Voltaire insults a few of his contemporary writers.

In one of the most extreme cases ever, magician Criss Angel found out during an April 2009 performance of his much-pilloried Las Vegas show Criss Angel BeLIEve that celebrity blogger Perez Hilton was in the audience...using Twitter to tell his followers that the show stunk. During the curtain call, Criss pointed him out to the audience and profanely dissed him. The media stir in Vegas this caused proved a setback for Criss, as commentators derided him as unprofessional and a disgrace to the Vegas entertainment scene.

In The Witcher (2019) season 2, Jaskier meets an in-universe fan of his poems who repeats common fan criticisms of The Witcher season 1, ostensibly as a critique of his poems. Jaskier responds with a lengthy diatribe insulting the fan (and by extension the audience) saying Let's See YOU Do Better!. The worst part is that Jaskier was supposed to be on a stealth mission, and his outburst gets a redshirt killed for absolutely no reason.

"What's So Funny About Truth, Justice & the American Way?" is an influential Superman story written during a time when the character began declining in popularity among fans and critics amidst the rising popularity of edgy, remorselessly violent anti-heroes in 90's media, with many questioning whether Supes' idealistic, humanist nature had become old-fashioned or not. The enemy he faces, The Elite, are a direct parody of The Authority, which writer Joe Kelly uses as synecdoche to describe just how unscrupulous and morally bankrupt these character archetypes were, with the story taking great lengths to portray Superman and his fettered, moral approach as superior.

After the film Bohemian Rhapsody depicted the creation of the song of the same name, a montage of savage critiques filled the screen. This was in stark contrast to end of film, where the song became the centerpiece of the massive Live Aid concert. Not to mention that the song made the top ten lists in three different decades (the original release, after being featured in Wayne's World and the Freddie Mercury biop) and is considered by the Rolling Stone magazine as among the greatest songs of all time.

This all came full circle in the buildup to WrestleMania 25 when Triple H and the WWE not only admitted to the marriage on TV but used it to hype his match with Randy Orton by having Orton assault Stephanie.

In Animaniacs, Slappy Squirrel repeatedly badmouthed Moral Guardians who wanted over-the-top, slapstick violence toned down.
One cartoon specifically had her nephew Skippy deal with bullying, to which all the nonviolent solutions failed and he resorted to Aunt Slappy's favorite solution - liberal use of cartoon explosives. The same toon's B-plot saw Slappy forced to build some machine to tone down on-screen violence, which ended up working by moving the violence offscreen.
Subverted in an episode which pit Slappy against Siskel & Ebert knockoffs but didn't seem to be a shot at them personally - A) Slappy's shtick is being a washed-up cartoon star, of course she'd have to deal with critics; and B) the show made liberal use of No Celebrities Were Harmed, they weren't not going to lampoon recognizable faces if they could help it.

Supergirl (2005): Issue #18 was a heavy-handed attack by the writer, Joe Kelly, on the many critics who disliked the post-Crisis Kara Zor-El's abrasive and morally questionable personality, and the book's extreme and, given the character's youth, distasteful fanservice. Kara spent the issue fighting an evil duplicate of herself who wore Pre-Crisis Supergirl's costume and self-righteously berated her for not being "wholesome". The issue particularly annoyed the critics as it was rather a straw-man view of their objections - they didn't think Kara should be perfect or a Stepford Smiler but argued that Kelly's version of the character came across as a Totally Radical sexualised fantasy of a screwed-up barely-legal teen. Two issues later the writer and artist were removed and the book underwent a heavy Retool in the direction that the critics in question were calling for.

In Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Jay and Bob blast some Internet critics for making fun of them (in context of making fun of a comic book that is based on them in-universe). The film's penultimate sequence involves the two of them beating the shit out of the Internet posters (most of whom are revealed to be annoying twelve-year-olds).

Discworld:
A handful of books, alongside the usually glowing review snippets you see on the covers and first few pages of books, end with one from The Late Review that reads "Doesn't even write in chapters ... a complete amateur ... hasn't a clue". This review is supposedly the reason Terry Pratchett wrote his Moist von Lipwig series of books, which not only have chapters but even have Victorian-style chapter titles. The quote is also used by a vapid and shallow witch in A Hat Full of Sky to dismiss another, hard-working witch: "She's rather sad. Complete amateur. Hasn't really got a clue. Just bustles about and hopes."
The "critters" that infest the depths of L-space graze on books and poop out slim volumes of literary criticism.

Murphy Brown:
When then-Vice President Dan Quayle attacked the show for its favorable depiction of a single mother, a subsequent episode included a snippet of his remarks against the character of Murphy Brown to make it sound like he was criticizing a real person. Candace Bergen, in character as Brown, then responds to his criticism. This eventually culminates in a Take That! right back at him when they arranged for a dump-truck full of potatoes to be dumped on his front porch, in reference to Quayle's equally well-publicized potato/potatoe gaff. "It's a good thing he didn't misspell 'fertilizer.'"
In a subsequent episode, similar to the Real Life example below, Murphy pranks art critics by presenting the random finger-painting of her preschool-age son Avery in an art museum, under the name A. Veret.

A subtle one in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag has the in-universe front for the antagonist faction panning the idea of a game about Ratonhnhaké:ton, specifically citing his stoic yet angry personality — echoing some real-world player complaints about him — but also claiming that depicting his early years was not recommended either because, "although Ratonhnhaké:ton's early life would be of some interest to our more educated audience, it is unlikely that his story would appeal on a broader scale... being too 'foreign', as it were, to normal audiences."

Penny Arcade:
In direct response to Kevin Smith's statement that Jersey Girl "wasn't for Critics", the creators came up with a random strip called The Adventures of Twisp and Catsby, daring the critics to criticize it (ironically, Twisp and Catsby became incredibly popular. No critic wanted to criticize them).
[[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/8/30/ Penny Arcade also had a variant: after making fun of various game reviewers for years, they worry about the critics' response to their own game. Cue cut to the big review sites throwing a party: "Hey, guys - I just started my review! Do you know if there is a number less than zero?"

Sinfest has been doing this a lot starting around late January 2013, labeling anyone that dislikes Xanthe or the Sisterhood Arc as a Straw Misogynist regardless of the reason.
There have been a number of strips that have characters read actual fan complaints about the series' current direction, then put on "Patriarchy-filtering glasses" that supposedly reveal what the complainers really mean, which is always misogynistic whining. For example, complaints about Monique's Character Derailment get turned into "Waaaah! 'Nique doesn't show her ass anymore!"

WWE had an infamously horrible feud between Triple H and Kane centering around a dead ex-girlfriend of Kane's. However, Vince McMahon expected the angle to take WWE into its second boom period and duplicate the success of Austin vs The Rock, and was quite displeased when the fans hated it. The Raw after the infamous mannequin rape promo, Triple H cut a promo about how he didn't care that people were offended and anyone who was offended was so lame they shouldn't be permitted to watch WWE. It's very easy to watch that promo and hear Vince's voice coming out of Triple H's mouth.

The Nostalgia Critic tends to do this in regards to his Fan Dumb, most notably with his character of "Douchy McNitpick", who endlessly whines and bitches about every tiny mistake he makes and finds the idea of agreeing with him on anything to be repulsive. In his James and the Giant Peach review, he did a Running Gag that the fans of the movie were pointing guns at his head so he couldn't actually criticize it. At the end of the review, he both says what he doesn't like about it and very fairly says many things that he thought the movie did do well, only for the Fan Dumb (in voiceover) to shriek "HE SAID HE DIDN'T LIKE IT!" and attack him. On the whole, Doug mixes it with a lot of Self-Deprecation and a constant need to apologize for things that aren't his fault, so nobody really gets upset. At the end of his review for A Simple Wish, the Critic is confronted by Mara Wilson, who had been the leading child actress in that movie. Angry with him for mocking her for doing such terrible movies, she starts playing some of the really bad home-made films the Critic did in his teens, showing him as an extremely awkward adolescent. The episode commentary explained the circumstances behind Mara's cameo, how the whole thing was arranged between her and Doug, and how both of them had great fun doing it. Doug has stated that he considers it to be the best joke he's ever made in the show.

The authors of Skyhold Academy Yearbook don't often encounter anything but pleasant feedback from their readers. But on one memorable occasion, they received a string of increasingly harsh reviews on one of their other Dragon Age projects, culminating in a friend of said reviewer making a YouTube video criticizing their writing (which he had never actually read). Rather than calling out the offenders in an author's note, however, they instead posted a cathartic chapter in The Memory Band, in which two of the student characters (who like to write Real-Person Fic about their teachers) went through an almost identical experience. Meanwhile, the offending reviews were deleted, the reviewer was successfully reported to the AO3 harassment team, and the YouTube user ended up having his entire channel pulled because of his abusive and bullying behavior in both his videos and his comments on them.

Shortpacked! frequently broke up its "Flashbacked!" plotline to use Robin as a surrogate for criticism that his comic had gotten too serious. "The End of Shortpacked" was interpreted by many as a direct response to the John Solomon review, featuring a hostile customer upset that his opinion on how to run the store was not taken as the gospel and declaring the staff to be too arrogant to listen to him and regular customers to be merely yes-men.

The computer game Peggle has often been described (notably by Ben 'Yahtzee' Croshaw) as being pure luck with no room for skill. In the sequel Peggle Nights, if the player attains the relatively difficult achievement of 100% Clear on all the levels, the quip of the "lucky" rabbit character Warren in the trophy room is "You cleared all the pegs?

"Teen Titans Roar!" is one towards critics of Thundercats Roar, with the Titans playing the role of the Hatedom decrying the reboot as ruining the franchise, except for Starfire, who plays the reasonable "normal" person who gives the new show a chance. This culminates in a battle between the Titans and the Roar! Thundercats where the Titans are easily defeated (except for Starfire, who didn't fight), after which the spirit of the original Lion-O descends from Heaven to declare Roar! a worthy successor to his show and that anyone who disagrees "has a poop mouth with poop opinions". At which point, Roar! Lion-O thanks him for the totally sincere and not forced endorsement.

9 Chickweed Lane: The author had his avatar Thorax breezily condemn anyone as imbeciles who didn't like the warped perspective, ornate dialogue and morals of his characters. He had earlier blamed his being forced to move his more openly sexualized fantasy strip Pibgorn off the newspaper comics page on the same people.

The 2007 production of Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors at the Stratford Festival was panned for being disjointed and nonsensical. In response, they added a giant penguin which wandered across the stage sometime during the third act, with a sign on its back reading "For the critics".

In a Dinosaurs episode, Earl comments, when watching a puppet show, that while the aesthetic of using puppets makes it appear at first glance to be a children's show, the actual content and themes of the show make it clear that it isn't, may refer to criticism of the show being for children. Or something to that effect.

After many complaints of the later Paper Mario entries doing away with the diverse and and unique NPCs of the earlier games and replacing them all with flocks of identical-looking Toads, Paper Mario: The Origami King has Big Bad King Olly attempting to commit Toad genocide for the petty reason that a Toad had gravely offended him, and since they all look the same, he was seeing the face of the guy he hated everywhere he went, so he decided that they all had to go.

Leonard Maltin made a cameo in the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode Gorgo where he claims he liked the titular movie despite "sending two of [his] assistant editors into intensive care". Maltin had in fact written a positive review of Gorgo prior to the episode and his cameo was equally good-natured, despite the show having in earlier episodes brutally mocked Maltin's scores of MST3K movies: the episode The Undead where Crow made Mike dress up as Maltin and read a humiliating apology for "his" review and the episode Laserblast where Maltin's two-and-a-half star rating of the titular movie is constantly mentioned as a Running Gag culminating in Mike and the 'bots going through one of Maltin's books comparing his scores of classic movies to the one he gave Laserblast (coming to the conclusion that, for example, Maltin considers Laserblast to be superior to Being There and as good as Unforgiven and Sophie's Choice). In his review of The Undead he called it a black comedy, however, so it's possible he thought it wasn't supposed to be serious. All of these were, however in good fun; Maltin holds no grudges and freely admits that his reviews are just his opinion, and if you disagree that's fine and dandy too.

The Season 2 premiere of Odd Squad, "First Day", has a line from Oprah that is a direct jab at critics who despise the show simply for the Mean Boss personality she had throughout Season 1. While she is more of a Benevolent Boss in Season 2, she still keeps a lot of the old charm and some traits from the previous season (such as her catchphrases and her love of juiceboxes), which extends into Season 3.

Pokémon itself did this in Generation V with Team Plasma, the villains Pokémon Black and White, as a swipe at the criticisms that many religious and animal rights groups made against the series; depicting them as a literal Knight Templar Animal Wrongs Group. Ghetsis, The Man Behind the Man of Unova, depicts himself as a figure of good, but ultimately has self-serving goals for the group. As of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, half of the group have realized their error and reform, but the other half have discarded the "animal rights" excuse for their actions and are now flat-out terrorists.

Willow: General Kael, The Dragon of the film, is named after Pauline Kael, and the the two-headed dragon is named "Eborsisk" in the script after Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert. While Pauline Kael gave negative reviews to Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope and Raiders of the Lost Ark, Siskel and Ebert generally gave his movies good reviews. It's not exactly clear how much personal insult Lucas intended to give, so he may have just been taking playful swipes at film criticism in general.

It's only too obvious that 2 Live Crew's Filk Song "Banned in the USA" (which is SFW and done with Bruce Springsteen's approval) is intended to be this towards critics complaining about the use of dirty language in their music, along with them using their First Amendment rights to condemn censorship.

In They Live!, after Nada destroys the signal and the aliens' true forms are revealed, a pair of critics on TV (clearly expies for Siskel and Ebert, are shown as aliens, complaining that directors like George A. Romero and John Carpenter "need to show some restraint". This is a bit odd, considering that at least Ebert greatly championed Night of the Living Dead (1968) and Halloween (1978) when many critics reviled them as trash, although Ebert hadn't been as kind to some of their later films.

In one of the many chapters of The History of Tom Jones, A Foundling where Fielding speaks directly to the reader he asserts that critics are the same thing as poisoners and should all be hanged as such. (This would have been even more shocking to a contemporary reader, since Fielding had been a Chief Magistrate of London who had sentenced men to hang in Real Life.)

The West Wing features an episode where Josh posts a message about some minor issue of government procedure on an Internet forum. Though the site is actually dedicated to him, the users (including a forum administrator "sitting in a muumuu and smoking Parliament Lights") attack him for getting the issue wrong. Creator Aaron Sorkin wrote this episode as a response to his experience using Television Without Pity, where he was a member for quite some time. Sorkin posted a topic about a dispute he had with a staff writer, which led to the site's users attacking him. The same episode also features the new US Poet Laureate deliver a speech wherein she says that an artist's job isn't to reach for some higher truth, but to captivate the audience's attention for as long as possible.

The Second-Salemers from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them serves as a Take That! towards the religious fundamentalist critics of the Harry Potter series. Their anti-witch views are presented as Fantastic Racism (up to and including advocating genocide), and the movement's leader, Mary Lou Barebone, is an abusive parent towards her adopted children who is killed by one of them when he turns out to be the Obscurial.

The Nostalgia Chick got a lot of negative reaction to her "rapping about rape" video. Feeling that Spoony wasn't getting nearly as much criticism for the rape jokes in his own videos, she had a line in the "Inside the NChick Labs" special where reprimands one of the other characters for even mentioning the rap, declaring "we're not Spoony, we can't get away with that shit".

Played for laughs in the TV version of Knowing Me, Knowing You with Alan Partridge; in one episode, Alan keeps bringing up a negative review of the previous week's show which has clearly rankled with him, and keeps latching onto the reviewer's description of the show as 'moribund'. His every effort to try and prove the critic wrong, however, keeps backfiring and demonstrating that the criticism was clearly on point.

invoked Arin and Danny, when playing Sonic and the Black Knight, are not having a good time as they're not fans of it at the best of times but Arin is struggling immensely at a suddenly harder level. Not being able to figure out what to do, he loses it and fires a fierce take that at fans who mock him for getting distracted during playthroughs and missing critical exposition or instructions. Ironically, this burst of anger inevitably gets them through the level.

The former rants about Harley Quinn being a Mary Sue and the show being feminist propaganda despite not having actually seen it (and yet somehow wrote a review for it) and wonders why would anyone make a show set in Gotham City with Batman as a bit character (despite having seen all 5 seasons of Gotham.

The episode "Let's Get Serious" had the Young Justice cartoon version of Aqualad pointing out how incompetent this iteration of the Titans was. The Titans thus decided to "get serious", but instead became parodic pastiches of Darker and Edgier comic book characters, and the end of the episode implies that things will go back to normal in the next episode. Notably, it's one of the few of the few non-special episodes that even the hatedom enjoys.

During the early turn of the century, WWE had the Right to Censor heel stable, which was a direct shot at the Parent's Television Council and other such media watchdog groups. Interestingly, the RTC was actually pretty successful - giving the WWE a kayfabe reason to make some of the changes the PTC and allies were calling for.
WCW had a much less well known stable of a similar nature called "Standards and Practices", consisting of Lenny Lane, Lodi, and Ms. Hancock. This one was created by Vince Russo after he got pissed off at Turner Broadcasting for limiting violence and edgy material on WCW Monday Nitro broadcasts. WCW and Russo being, well, WCW and Russo, S&P was never really used for much of anything, and they disappeared fairly quickly. However, it was Stacy Keibler's start in wrestling. And really, it's hard to complain about Stacy Keibler dressing as a secretary and doing table dances. (Incidentally, if you're wondering why a team called Standards and Practices would have a valet doing erotic dances, ask Russo, because no one else has a clue.)

Hulk Hogan had always been a target of criticism by the The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, a wrestling dirt sheet written by Dave Meltzer. Hogan had "won" "Most Overrated Wrestler" 3 times from the Wrestling Observer Awardsnote 3 times when this happened in 1995, he would later "win" four more, giving him a grand total of 7 for his career. So at World War 3 1995, during Hogan's "return from the Darkside" (it was a storyline that Hogan was no longer a good guy because of Kevin Sullivan's Dungeon of Doom stable. Except for he was. It's WCW, it's always been very confusing), burning the clothes of his previous identity. Hogan would produce an Issue of Wrestling Observer, calling it a rag sheet, and was a dinosaur compared to the Internet. Hogan would then throw it to a fire burning his clothes. Dave Meltzer would take note; not only did Hogan win "Most Overrated Wrestler" that year, but he also won "Most Embarrassing Wrestler" as well. He also had all of the "swervy" booking changes in the newsletter before the PPV went down.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: "Fame and Misfortune" gives the message of "It's a children's show that teaches social skills, you should really just relax!" and that imperfections are what makes the characters who they are.

Doctor Who has a notorious Unpleasable Fanbase, and this has sometimes annoyed creators enough to influence the show.
The Sixth Doctor's debut story "The Twin Dilemma", which features an extremely tumultuous post-regeneration crisis, ends with the Doctor telling his companion Peri that "Whatever else happens, I am the Doctor, whether you like it or not."
"The Greatest Show in the Galaxy" is based around mocking critics of the show, complete with a stereotypical Fan Boy whining that the circus isn't as good as it used to be, and the villains of the piece being a metaphor for television executives.
"The Christmas Invasion" has the Tenth Doctor scolding Rose for giving up on him while he was comatose following regeneration. Given that this was the first regeneration following the show's relaunch, it's easy to picture these words being aimed at everyone who dismissed David Tennant for replacing Christopher Eccleston.
The 2005/6 seasons were criticised by some fans who complained about the number of stories set on contemporary Earth, wanted more exotic settings and Space Opera content, and got upset about the number of contemporary pop culture references. The 2006 Christmas special, "The Runaway Bride", featured an unspeakably nasty, misanthropic, intellectually-snobbish human villain who turned out to be plotting with aliens to destroy the world just because they offered to show him the wonders of the universe, and who was given a long and unsympathetic speech mocking pop culture.
Peter Capaldi's first episode as the 12th Doctor includes the Time Lord asking Clara to accept the new Doctor even if he's different from what he used to be. This whole speech might as well be pointed directly at audience members who expressed disapproval of Capaldi's casting for not being as young and sexy as the previous three Doctors.
In "Time Heist", the Twelfth Doctor addresses fans' criticisms of his costume◊: "What do you think of the new look? I was hoping for minimalism, but I think I came up with 'magician.'"

Asterix: The Secret Weapon was criticised by many people for being sexist, centering as it did on a Straw Feminist One-Shot Character who mostly makes completely reasonable points. The second-to-next album, Asterix and the Class Act (a "stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else" compilation of one-shots) contains multiple comments in the original material poking fun at anyone who could possibly accuse Uderzo of anti-feminism and implying people who do are empty-headed reactionaries.

Todd in the Shadows considers this a personal pet peeve when reviewing music. In his review for the aforementioned "Applause," he states that he has never once seen a musician call out her critics or haters without sounding whiny or pathetic.

YouTube singer AmaLee, who specializes in English anime covers, has an April Fools' Day tradition of doing this to her Hate Dumb by taking songs and changing the lyrics to call-out particular types of hate comments the most common being "She Changed It, Now She Sucks". Ranging from such heresy as not signing a direct translation of the lyrics to "being a sell-out".

After the first season of Galavant the website TV by the Numbers predicted that its low ratings meant the show was unlikely to get renewed only for ABC to give it a second season anyway. The second season premiere episode was titled "A New Season aka Suck It Cancellation Bear" as a jab at the website's flawed prediction.

The Greatest Showman:
In-Universe. After Bennett disparages his museum, calling it a "circus of humbug", Barnum changes the name to "P.T. Barnum's Circus" and wears a hat bearing the title "Prince of Humbug" during the show.
Barnum's dialogue with Bennett preemptively does this for issues raised by critics.

Pearls Before Swine took a dig at The Comics Curmudgeon and newspaper comics snarkers in general in August 2009. As noted in the post, Stephen Pastis was being rather light-hearted anyway, and the Pastis character is often used for self-deprecating humor through the strip's history.
Retail took a more bitter jab at the same blog and fanbase in another strip from 2007.
Crock, a frequent target of the Curmudgeon blogger Josh Fruhlinger's more biting criticism, went so far as to pull the plug on a invalided soldier who, told by doctors that a lobotomy had removed all "artistic talent", said he intended to move to Baltimore and write a comics blog. (Josh was based in Baltimore at the time.) Josh, of course, had a field day with it, as seen here.
The Archie comic strip responded to Josh's swipes at the strip's humor as being the output of a device called the "Archie Joke-Generating Laugh Unit 3000" by featuring a character wearing a tee-shirt that had "AJGLU-3000" in a circle with a line through it (seen here). Unlike the Crock jab, however, this and later references could have been meant more fondly.

Richard Wagner famously wrote Sixtus Beckmesser in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg as a harsh caricature of Viennese music critic Eduard Hanslick. The result was ambiguous: "Beckmesser" (and the adjective "beckmesserisch" derived therefrom) entered the German language as a word for a pedantic but uninspired critic, but on the other hand, Hanslick remains the most well-known music critic of his time...

Radiodrome: Josh (but other hosts often too) seem to hate mainstream critics for condemning many of the B-movies, horror movies and exploitation films they tend to like. Even though a lot of these films aren't exactly quality pictures, making general critics' opinions understandable at least. Radiodrome devoted one episode to a 1980 Siskel & Ebert review of a slasher movie that they at the time both gave a thumbs down. The duo then condemned the entire genre on both its artistic merit as well as their lack of ethics. Josh, Brad, and other co-hosts reviewed every single quote from this (then) 30-year-old review that should be viewed in the context of its time anyway, only to simply disagree with all of the points that Siskel and Ebert raised.

The Doctor Who (Titan) comics did a prologue to their Thirteenth Doctor series with a special called The Many Lives of Doctor Who featuring four or five-page vignettes featuring every previous Doctor, with a framing narrative of the Doctor's life flashing before their eyes as they regenerate from Twelve to Thirteen. The Tenth Doctor story featured Ten, Gabby, and Cindy encountering and sympathising with Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, the first woman to qualify as a doctor in Britain, and was called "Nurse Who?" In the real world, "Nurse Who" had been an insult frequently used by alt-right misogynists to refer to the Thirteenth Doctor, the Doctor's first known female incarnation in mainstream canon.

Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear often makes fun of his critics. In Season 9 episode 1, when Richard Hammond returns from a rocket-car crash at 288 mph that left him temporarily brain-damaged and could have killed him, Clarkson thanks the (very much alive) Hammond for reminding everyone of an important lesson: Speed kills.

Godzilla (1998):
Director Roland Emmerich lampooned Siskel & Ebert by featuring No Celebrities Were Harmed versions of the latter as the buffoonish Mayor of NYC and the former as his sycophantic sidekick to avenge their critical mauling of his previous moviesnote one of those movies, Stargate, is on Ebert's most hated list; (also, presumably, a preemptive strike against criticism of the current movie). The critics just laughed it off, and Siskel even wondered why Emmerich went to the trouble of putting them in a giant monster movie but didn't have the monster either eat or squash them.note It should be noted in the case of Godzilla actually eating people, Toho vetoed the concept, so GINO feasting on Mayor Ebert and Gene was never going to happen — though that also didn't stop the raptor expies that were GINO's kids from eating most of Philippe Roche's crew.
The extra in the car that is stepped on early in the film is intended to be a representation of J.D. Lees, editor of G-Fan Magazine, who had harsh criticism for the film based on information leaks prior to its release. Since hardly anyone in the audience was even going to recognize the reference, it's pretty clear that this statement was just for the benefit of Emmerich himself.

Family Guy:
"Boys Do Cry" closed with Peter responding to criticism of the content of the show by saying the following:
In an earlier episode, in response to a bad review by Entertainment Weekly Peter uses a page from EW as toilet paper.
Some argue whether turning Quagmire, a self-professed rapist, into a prudish Self-Deprecation avatar to Brian and Peter's immorality counts as this trope as well.

In Ars Magica, one of the backstory's major bad guys was the Scottish wizard Davnalleous, named for Dave Nalle, a game designer and reviewer who was critical of the game early on. Later editions of the game explained the name as an attempted Latinization of a more plausibly Gaelic-sounding name (Damhan Allaidh, which translates as "Spider").

Lady in the Water features a Straw Critic expressly for this purpose, who gets killed. There is also an author who changes the entire world by becoming a martyr and is played by Shyamalan himself. In their (mostly savage) reviews of the movie, many critics were quick to note this stroke of narcissism. When the movie completely bombed he had to eat crow. Made even better by the common reaction to the critic, who became something of an Ensemble Dark Horse.

Drawn Together tried to do this with an Entertainment Weekly review using the justification of the cast saying "Members with these characteristics aren't our target audience." Unfortunately, they listed so many characteristics that it's impossible to find a member of society that doesn't fit into some of the demographics that were mentioned. In the end, though, the critic and Spanky Ham admit they both have points: she isn't the target audience and Drawn Together is "a steaming pile of sh*t". Entertainment Weekly kept playing along, though, culminating in a review that went "I gave the show an F. They killed off my coworkers. If this continues, we'll have to get married."

Showing an uncharacteristically pointy side, radio comedy team Bob & Ray reacted to New York Magazine critic John Simon's negative review of their stage show by incorporating him into their skits as 'The Worst Person in the World' - a character who never spoke, just made rude noises while other characters (that is, Bob and/or Ray) commented loudly on his uncouth manners. (Broadcaster Keith Olbermann later picked up the concept, sans specific attack, and used it in his Countdown.)

Ratatouille has a line that might be read this way. The final article of food critic Anton Ego says that "In many ways, the life of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face is that, in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so." However, considering Pixar's good track record with critics, that might not be so.

In Gremlins 2: The New Batch the eponymous monsters overrun a TV studio. In one scene, film critic Leonard Maltin (playing himself) is ranting about how horrible the original Gremlins is, using actual lines from his review, then gets mobbed by gremlins and starts yelling "I was just kidding! It was a 10! A 10!" This is a rare case where the producers and the critic seem to be taking things in equally good humour. (The entire sequel could be seen as a Take That! to the original, despite being directed by the same guy.) Elsewhere, the sequel demonstrates its own self-effacing good humour by including a scene where people discuss the inconsistencies in the "don't feed them after midnight" rule (before being mauled by gremlins) and another scene where Kate (Phoebe Cates) is physically dragged away as she launches into a maudlin speech about why she doesn't like Presidents' Day, parodying her speech about Christmas in the original film.
