== Teh Examples == 
 I am puting this here because I really do not want to be blamed for doing what needs to be done. I am gonna set off an limb and say that over 90% of the "examples" are crap tacked on to be tacked on. 

 In the Tales from the Crypt spin-off movie Bordello of Blood, one of the main characters says at one point "I feel like I'm in a bad episode of Tales from the Crypt."  

 Is idiotic, they are ADVERTISING their FRANCHISE How hard is it to understand that, the actor didn't say "I AM in a episode of TFTC" he referenced it saying "It feels LIKE I am" If he said "It feels like I am in a horror film" you wouldn't jump on it being meta-reference... well probally would. This is about DELIBRATLY turning away from the stage and adressing the audiance / cameramen. I will accept Acknowledging the audiances existance, but not 'in this episode they may have done something that looked like this'. 

 You have to realize also that reference to past films is not Meta Reference. It is once again, advertisment. So in the sequal of Grimlins they held up Grimlins One, guess what, they are filming Grimlins 2 SO he was not aware of being an actor in a production. 

 Finally in the TV Show section it looks like you all forget that in TV Land time goes on. Just because the guy says something that happened in a previous episode does not mean that he watches the show. And in my example, I understand that you look at it like "ohh, it was in the show before. lets go spam meta-reference" 

 "Eric Cartman suggests a storyline feature 'Crab People'. This is immediately derided as a ludicrous and implausible idea for a television show. 'Crab People' were themselves featured in a previous South Park episode." 

  
 Some of the entries are rather, stupid. Implying that the show sucks and because they can do nothing and say nothing for the length of the show META-REFERENCE!!!! 

 "On SpongeBob SquarePants, certain characters (usually Squidward Tentacles) often mention things going on for 11 minutes, the usual length for a regular episode." 

  
 And some entries are clearly just commical remarks put in by the writer but not having the characters REALIZE they are fictional. 

 "Futurama features an episode in which, faced with the prospect of risking her and Fry's lives to save Bender, Leela exclaims, "It's not an easy decision. If only we had two or three minutes to think about it!" The show then breaks for commercials." 

  
 Personally allowing a TV Show section is the worst idea there is. EVERY show eventually has that little thing that writters toss in there. But if you are gonna put in an example based off of a TV show, the TV Show should have an example for every 5 episodes at least.
