For example, a comedy play that featured the story of a group of fictional thespians attempting to put on a comedy play would be fertile ground for self-referential humor. A more concrete example would be the Stargate SG-1 episode Wormhole X-Treme!
Self-referential humor is sometimes combined with breaking the fourth wall.
