Self Referential Works Are Fun.

It's always fun when you're reading or enjoying some work (Book, movie, essay, whatever you want) and it makes a reference to itself. Usually this is in a "Ha ha, look we're making fun of ourselves" moment.

In the essay for class that's due well.. Today, it's abundantly clear I make excessive use of self-referential humor in how I make fun of the paper I just wrote and myself in how I wrote it.

For an example of a self-referential work, more specifically of the self-referential humor category, see this terrible blog post written by some college student at Hofstra University: Self Referential Works Are Fun
