For whatever meta reason the producers and writers desire, sometimes a work will mock another piece of work. This is usually for comedic value and is a light-hearted (if pointed) gag. However, one little attack can always incite a war. This trope is for instances of Work A making fun of Work B, and then Work B does the same to Work A in response. Though often settled once the score is 1-1 and the statement has been made, some works may continue the war. Alternatively, Work B may not make a joke at the expense of Work A but instead somehow prove it wrong or create a negative homage to subtly throw shade back without the maligned name-dropping. On a more lighthearted note, sometimes this can take the form of lighthearted ribbing/jabbing between two works akin to Vitriolic Best Buds. See also Take That! Common in Dueling Series, Dueling Movies, and Dueling Games. Not to be confused with Laurel and Hardy short film Tit for Tat. Oh, and the laconic version's terrible. |

Viz, based in Newcastle, used to do many vulgar parodies of characters from the Beano and Dandy, owned by Scottish DC Thomson & Co. When DC Thomson tried to sue Viz for breach of copyright, Viz published a strip about "DC Thomson the Humourless Scottish Twat." DC retaliated by resurrecting an old strip from the Dandy called "The Jocks and the Geordies," about two gangs of warring schoolboys on either side of the England-Scotland border. The story had both sets of boys attempting to win a competition to design a comic, and the Jocks (Scottish boys) win, to the humiliation of the Geordies (from Newcastle) who tried to cheat by copying them and whose own ideas were all terrible. Viz responded in its next issue with "Korky the Twat," a parody of the iconic Dandy flagship character Korky the Cat. | |

In 2018, Machine Gun Kelly dissed Eminem on TechN9ne's "No Reason (The Mosh Pit Song)", which resulted in Eminem dissing MGK on his song "Not Alike", before Kelly dissed Eminem again with "Rap Devil" and Eminem would hit back with "Killshot". | |

The Simpsons: The episode "Black Widower" begins with the Simpson family watching a parody of Dinosaurs, and Bart comments, "It's like they saw our lives and put it right up on screen!", a reference to the criticism Dinosaurs received at the time for allegedly ripping off The Simpsons. Dinosaurs would later fire back in the episode "Dirty Dancin'", wherein Earl complains about the TV line-up consisting of nothing but shows involving idiot fathers, following the success of "Totally Ineffectual Dad", and that the other shows are just cheap rip-offs. Baby then says, "Don't have a cow, man!", Bart's Catchphrase at the time. In another episode, Peter from Family Guy appeared on a Wanted poster for plagiarism. Family Guy responded in its typical way (see below). Ren & Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi's numerous derogatory remarks about The Simpsons resulted in a moment in "The Front" where a clip from Ren and Stimpy nominated for an award ceremony is instead a black screen reading "clip not done yet", referencing the show's infamous Troubled Production and severe Schedule Slips. In a more good-natured rib, South Park did the episode "Simpsons Already Did It" because it was hard for the writers to think good ideas that hadn't already shown up in Springfield. The Simpsons responded by having Bart and Milhouse watching South Park, something which Marge vehemently disapproves of. |

After Community characters told the glee club on their own show (an expy for the rival shows) to "write some original songs", Glee did just that. However, Glee did not respond to Community's mocking that it "got a lot of awards" for just doing "sing sing singaling", possibly because actually winning all those awards was giving the return Take That for them. | |

UnREAL (2015) features a show that is an expy of The Bachelor — the host of The Bachelor said that one difference between the shows is that people watched his. UnREAL responded by featuring an African-American bachelor, something that the other show had yet to do at the time.[note]The Bachelor wouldn't have an African-American bachelor until Matt James in 2021.[/note] | |

At the end of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Sonic's shoes and Earthworm Jim's gun are seen next to a trash can that says, NO HOPERS when Cranky ranks Diddy alongside Mario, Yoshi, and Link, depending on how many DK Coins they found throughout the game. This was done in response to two separate take thats; a promotional video for the Sonic & Knuckles game had the line, "Can an old gorilla beat this new team? No way!", and the Sega CD version of Earthworm Jim had the unlockable "Worm Kong" mask, which resembled Donkey Kong with an arrow through his head, in response to the original Donkey Kong Country game outselling the original Earthworm Jim game in retail sales. | |

Scootertrix the Abridged, episode 9, features an argument over who the worst MLP Abridged Series director is. When Ultra Fast Pony creator Wacarb comes up in the argument, Celestia responds, "Who the hell is Wacarb?" UFP shot back in "On Your Mark", where the topic of performing tricks on a scooter comes up: "But there are no good scooter tricks!" "Yeah, Scootertrix sucks!" (It's all for laughs because both of them are fans of the other's work in Real Life.) | |

The Grand Theft Auto series had two games in a row (3 and Vice City) where the player character has to kill someone named Tanner, as in the protagonist of the Driver series. In response, Reflections put a group of men in Driv3r named Timmy Vermicelli (a takeoff on Vice City's Tommy Vercetti) who wears a Hawaiian shirt and arm floaters (due to Tommy's inability to swim) and shoots at the player. Killing all Timmy's unlocks a bonus area. Rockstar fired back in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas by including a scene where a character is shown playing a video game and shouting "This sucks, I mean, how could Refractions mess up so bad? Tanner, you suck ass!". | |

Orca: The Killer Whale featured a scene of an orca easily killing a great white shark as a Take That! towards Jaws. When Jaws 2 came about, it featured a scene of characters finding a beached corpse of an orca, which has been killed by a Great White shark. It should be noted that in real life, orcas do indeed kill great white sharks, but great white sharks are not known to kill orcas. | |

In 2005 Tarja Turunen was fired from her position as lead vocalist of Nightwish due to personal disputes with the other band members, particularly keyboardist and principal songwriter Tuomas Holopainen. Nightwish subsequently devoted two songs on their 2007 album Dark Passion Play, "Bye Bye Beautiful" and "Master Passion Greed", to taking potshots at respectively Tarja and her husband Marcelo Cabuli, whom they accused of being a bad influence on her. Tarja shot back in 2009 with "Enough", which accuses Nightwish and Tuomas in particular of being egotistical prima donnas. (Things have thawed somewhat since then: Tarja is friends with current Nightwish vocalist Floor Jansen and has made live appearances with guitarist Marco Hietala.) | |

Glee (as a Long Runner that's easy to mock): One of Neil Patrick Harris' Tony performances referred to Broadway shows as "a two-hour, live-action, barely affordable, un-lip-synched version of Glee", causing the TV show to have more songs performed live on set rather than pre-recorded and edited. Our Gay Wedding: The Musical claimed that its entire premise was "gayer than Glee" — the next season then contained a double gay wedding, just to make sure it kept the title. After Pitch Perfect trashed the show, characters began saying things like "the a cappella thing is boring, done". After Community characters told the glee club on their own show (an expy for the rival shows) to "write some original songs", Glee did just that. However, Glee did not respond to Community's mocking that it "got a lot of awards" for just doing "sing sing singaling", possibly because actually winning all those awards was giving the return Take That for them. The show also started its own little war, when in a season 4 episode one character claims that a couple she doesn't like makes her feel "dryer than the cast of Hot in Cleveland", HIC later responded with one of their characters who was played by a former star of Glee (Chris Colfer) tell his mother how he was "in the glee club for six long years" as if despairing. On Virtually Famous, primarily about modern internet use, Chris and Seann would mock Kevin McHale for being on Glee, so the next season of the show had the first episode ditch the computing extracurricular in favor of glee club. With Channing Tatum's fictional appearances: in season 2, Mike (whose actor plays perpetually-sidelined Cable in the Step Up films) asked Santa for "Channing Tatum to stop being in stuff". In 21 Jump Street, Tatum's character curses Glee for allowing the weird kids to be cool. The first episode of the final season reveals that Rachel's TV show was a flop, and that it was called... That's So Rachel. The show it was named for, never actually a failure, then was granted a sequel series shortly after Glee ended. |

In addition to all of the other anti-Disney humor featured in Shrek, the film's main villain Lord Farquaad was an unflattering caricature of then-Disney CEO Michael Eisner, the rival and former business partner of Dreamworks Animation co-founder and former Disney CCO Jeffery Katzenberg. Annoyed by Katzenberg's success with a movie that gave Disney the finger for ninety minutes, Eisner shot back by overhauling Disney's Chicken Little into a similarly snarky, self-aware broad comedy, thinking he could beat his rival at his own game. Unfortunately for Eisner, it didn't work out: the film was a critical flop and, after a string of bad investments, he resigned from the company. | |

After Ronnie Barker criticised Not the Nine O'Clock News for its "adult" tone, the NTNOCN team unleashed a lengthy sketch called The Two Ninnies, which lampshaded the Double Entendre that was the basis of a lot of The Two Ronnies sketches. Sources vary as to whether Ronnie Corbett found this Actually Pretty Funny, but seem unanimous that Barker didn't. | |

Devil May Cry managed to do this to itself. Tameem Antoniades, director of Ninja Theory's DmC: Devil May Cry, had a clear disdain for the original continuity that manifested in DmC Dante ending up with a "wig" resembling the original Dante's hairstyle falling on his head in the middle of a fight, only to declare "Not in a million years" and rip it off. The eventual Devil May Cry 5 - developed in-house by Capcom - had a few light-hearted jabs that reference DmC: Dr. Faust, a cowboy hat weapon used by Dante that causes him to strike flamboyant poses while using it, referencing an infamous GDC presentation by Ninja Theory which included an image of the original Dante edited into the background of Brokeback Mountain. Nero's hair being cut short to resemble DmC Dante, then shouting the phrase "Fuck you!", which that Dante said a lot. The classic Dante outright saying "Not in a million years" when Vergil summons a Doppelganger during their fight in an attempt to gain an advantage in numbers. |

FoxTrot once poked fun at Pearls Before Swine by claiming their strip compilations don't qualify as good news. A year later, Stephen Pastis got the rights to reuse the same strip and did a Remix Comic of it claiming that Bill Amend only semi-retired so he could spend all day playing MMOs. Bill then shot back that Pastis took so long that he could use his lawyer experience to claim the time length as billable hours. | |

In a more good-natured rib, South Park did the episode "Simpsons Already Did It" because it was hard for the writers to think good ideas that hadn't already shown up in Springfield. The Simpsons responded by having Bart and Milhouse watching South Park, something which Marge vehemently disapproves of. | |

The Argentine band Hermética broke up in controversial circumstances. Bassist Ricardo Iorio started a new one, Almafuerte, and all the others got a new bassist and continued as Malón. Their first albums ("Mundo Guanaco" and "Espíritu Combativo") included several indirect jabs at each other. | |

The Authority would often mock and satirize and deconstruct traditional superheroes, their brand of heroism, and their tropes. Superman, the most traditional of superheroes, thus had an issue called "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice, & the American Way?" (later expanded into a feature-length film called Superman vs. the Elite) that satirizes and deconstructs the Authority, their brand of heroism and their tropes. | |

Li'l Abner once had a parody of Mary Worth take a vacation from her strip to meddle in Abner and Daisy Mae's affairs. Mary Worth reciprocated with an unflattering caricature of Li'l Abner creator Al Capp as a drunken lout. | |
