Book jokes! Come on! Book jokes! Silly author names! You KNOW the ones. This is like when I was at work one time and I used some word or other and one of my colleagues told me it wasn't a real word and acted like he'd never heard it before and then everyone else joined in deadpan and I actually started believing them. Anyway these DO exist so I'm RIGHT. Here are some examples:

'Walking to School' by Misty Bus
'Over the Mountaintop' by Hugo First
'Why Should I Walk?' by Iona Carr
and very famously
'Bubbles in the Bath' by Ivor Windybottom
(These taken from https://www.boyscouttrail.com/content/joke/books_never_written-850.asp - caution: they're old jokes are some have dated poorly.)

'Life After People': https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1433058/

'The Bad Guy' was Rufus Sewell playing the oleaginous Count Adhemar in "A Knight's Tale" (2001).
And 'the Prince', credited as 'Colville', was played by James Purefoy, who also played Marcus Antonius - all right, 'Mark Antony', if you insist - in HBO's "Rome".
