I would say that Bender being hurled back to Earth is the only correct example of lampshade hanging that is given here, the others, with the possible exception of the robo-dinosaurs, are simply gags, they are incidental to the plot.

If I can find some better examples could we replace them?

Maybe I have it wrong. Is lampshade hanging directly analogous to deus ex machina? -- the preceding unsigned comment was written by 94.10.54.106.

I think these all count as uses of lampshade hanging. There's no reason to remove them.
Not according to our definition of lampshade hanging and Wikipedia's definition of deus ex machina. Sanfazer: [talk] 22:02, 13 January 2015 (CET).
