Reminds me of a bit from the Simpsons, where Homer gets a job as a voice actor on Itchy and Scratchy.

Doug: "In episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a
xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he
produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to
believe, that this is some sort of a
magic xylophone or something? Boy, I really hope somebody got
fired for that blunder."

June (Voice of Itchy and Scratchy): Uh, well, uh...

Homer: "I'll field that one. Let me ask you a question. Why would a
man whose shirt says "Genius at Work" spend all of his time
watching a children's cartoon show?"

Doug: (embarrassed pause) "I withdraw my question." (starts eating a
candy bar) "First William Shatner, now Homer Simpson."

Database: "On the "Itchy & Scratchy" CD-ROM, is there a way to get out of
the dungeon without using the wizard key?"

Homer: "What the hell are you talking about?"

June: "You're a lifesaver, Homer, I can't deal with these hardcore
fans!"
