=== Examples === In September 2011, Republican presidential candidate [[Michele Bachmann]] repeated an anecdote claiming that the [[HPV vaccine]] causes "intellectual disability"; this prompted political commentator [[Rush Limbaugh]] to say on his radio show, "Michele Bachmann, she might have blown it today. Well, not blown it—she might have jumped the shark today."<ref name="The Guardian">{{cite news | first = Richard | last = Adams | title = Michele Bachmann, the HPV vaccine and the Republican landscape | newspaper = The Guardian | url = https://www.theguardian.com/world/richard-adams-blog/2011/sep/14/michele-bachmann-republicans-hpv-vaccine | date = September 14, 2011| access-date = December 17, 2016| archive-date = March 13, 2016| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160313103441/http://www.theguardian.com/world/richard-adams-blog/2011/sep/14/michele-bachmann-republicans-hpv-vaccine | url-status = live }}</ref> In January 2018, political commentator [[Keith Olbermann]] criticized the inclusion of [[esports]] players on the sports journalism website ''[[The Players' Tribune]]'', saying that they "have jumped the shark by publishing pieces by snotty random kids playing children's games" in response to an article by [[Doublelift]], a ''[[League of Legends]]'' player.<ref>{{cite tweet |last=Olbermann|first=Keith|user=KeithOlbermann|number=950786529122836480|date=January 9, 2018|title=Three years in.

He is on "the wrong end of a nasty correction, and vulnerable to a new narrative that he has 'jumped the shark.{{' "}} @johnauthers}}</ref>
