A funny example of this just made the rounds here.

Just wanted to check out that you gnarly dudes are using the latest and
greatest software technology fer yer rad code to make it easy for the dudes who
have to read it. The hip new way to write readable C code involves the use of
a few simple defines.
#define like {
#define man ;}
#define an ;
#define SayBro /*
#define CheckItOut */
SayBro like, this is some rad shit, so CheckItOut
like
a = b
an
c = d
man
SayBro , like who needs help from them compiler choads anyway?
THIS is the way to write CLEAR code. I mean really! CheckItOut
like SayBro this is ShellSort straight out of the white book, but in
a readable form.
CheckItOut man
#define YoDude for(
#define OK )
#define is =
#define AND &&
#define as
#define Do
#define long
#define some
#define make
#define shit
#define FAROUT
shell(v, n) SayBro sort v[0]...v[n-1] into increasing order CheckItOut
int v[], n;
like int gap, i, j, temp;
YoDude gap is n/2 an as long as gap > 0 Do some shit an make gap /=2 OK
YoDude i is gap an as long as i < n Do some shit an make i++ OK
YoDude j is i - gap an as long as j >= 0 AND v[j] > v[j+gap] Do some
shit an make j -= gap OK
like
temp is v[j] an
v[j] is v[j+gap] an
v[j+gap] is temp
man
FAROUT man
SayBro like, B there OB square! CheckItOut
