It does feel like there's a lot of writers out there that see a lot of "X" and aim to poke fun at how much "X" we see...but don't realize that media is so pervasive that they're aware of their own faults, and able to play around them.
A long time ago there was an attempt by a comedy show to make fun of comic books, by having The Joker tell jokes and make fun of Superman's underwear-on-outside...not realizing he does exactly that in the comics.
Really, I think a lot of writers just need to go back to basics on recognizing what constitutes an original idea. It's certainly not easy.
