** TheStinger for the [[ADayInTheLimelight Bitch Pudding Special]] has Nick Fury appear, presumably to offer her a place in Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}. She then proceeds to car-jack him.
* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'':
** An episode features Stan name his top ten favorite fictional dogs. The #1 spot belongs to Brian from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' who appears and doesn't know who Stan is.
--->'''Stan:''' [[TakeThat STOP PRETENDING I DON'T EXIST!]]
** In the episode "The Unbrave One", Francine takes several online pregnancy tests from a shady gynecologist named Dr. Vadgers, most of which involve naked close-ups. The end of the episode shows Dr. Vadgers's computer screen, then reveal him to be [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Quagmire]].
** After the family's house is washed away in a hurricane it arrives next door to [[WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow Cleveland's]]. At which point [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Peter Griffin]] appears and the three are armed with guns at each other. Then Stan accidentally shoots Francine:
--->'''Peter:''' Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh. Classic ''American Dad''.
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad'' had Buck and Larry abandon Otto after a fight and try out several replacement orphans... including [[WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory Dexter]], who protests he's not an orphan.
* ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' had one in one of its episodes. With ''WesternAnimation/PepperAnn'' of all shows! But considering it's a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover, nine-tenths of the jokes are going to be this.
* ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'':
** The pilot also has an imaginary friend who is [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls Mojo Jojo]]; according to Wilt this is pretty common since "some kids aren't that creative, so they just copy what they see on TV."
** A quick joke in one episode shows [[WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy Mandy]] returning an imaginary friend, saying it was too happy. To make it funnier, said scene is just in Bloo's imagination.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' would occasionally cross the characters of its various shorts for a quick gag. A couple times, the Warners would be at a loss for how to deal with their current problem and eventually resort to recruiting another character: they took care of [[WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures Elmyra]] by heading for Mindy and Buttons' neighborhood and letting her fill Buttons' usual BadlyBatteredBabysitter duties; and for a lady with KarmicProtection as a genuine (if overbearingly) [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]] they hired Slappy Squirrel, who had no such scruples. In yet another short, it was revealed that the dragon they just beat was actually a machine controlled by WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain.
* In ''[[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012 Ultimate Spider-Man]]'', the Living Laser is thrown into a dimensional rift, and comes out in the world of ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperHeroSquadShow'', getting promptly beaten up by SHS-Thor.
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/RoadRovers'' had the villain being incarcerated in an insane asylum for megalomaniacs, along with several other villains from previous episodes. The inmates end up yelling at each other from their cells, arguing about about who is going to rule the world, until at the end a familiar voice is heard...
-->'''[[WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain The Brain]]''': No, it is '''I''' who shall rule the world! YES!\\
''(the closing theme of'' Pinky and the Brain ''is heard as the episode fades to credits)''
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse'' about a store that shifted between dimensions, when Ben first enters the store it's populated by alien versions of ''WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken''.
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches'' has Oggy and the cockroaches falling into acid and turned into slime, and they enter a washing machine, which turns them into clothing, animals, then aliens... except that the "aliens" are clearly the titular characters of ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGoofs'' (both of which were produced by France's Gaumont studio).
* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': Not counting "all-star" outings, there have been several instances of characters appearing in another character's starring roles.
** Near the end of the 1942 spot-gag short ''Crazy Cruise'', a group of rabbits are seen defending themselves from a Japanese vulture by donning air raid helmets and shooting a cannon at it. One of the rabbits, whose face has been obscured from the viewer, turns out to be WesternAnimation/BugsBunny, who tells the audience "Thumbs up, doc!" before the IrisOut closes on his ears, which form [[WartimeCartoon a "V" for victory]].
** In the 1943 short ''WesternAnimation/PorkyPigsFeat'', [[WesternAnimation/PorkyPig Porky]] and [[WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck Daffy]] are being held prisoner in their hotel room for not paying and wonder what Bugs would do in a situation like this. They decide call him up and, after he offers ideas they already tried and failed at, the door opens to reveal Bugs chained up in the room next to theirs ("Aah, don't work, do they?").
** In the 1954 short '"Dog Pounded'', Sylvester tries to retrieve Tweety from a dog pound by [[AssInALionSkin disguising himself as a skunk]] to scare the dogs away. It nearly works until he suddenly becomes the object of Pepe Le Pew's affection.
** In the 1954 short ''No Barking'', an alley cat tries to catch a bird from a tree, only for a dog to yap loudly give him a JumpScare that sends up flying up. The bird in the nest is revealed to be Tweety, who says [[CatchPhrase "I tawt I taw a putty tat"]]. He reappears at the end, watching the cat sent flying again and grasping an airborne jet, saying "I ''did'', I did taw a putty tat!" (Note: This was Tweety's only appearance in a Creator/ChuckJones cartoon, having previously been exclusive to those made by Creator/BobClampett and Creator/FrizFreleng.)
** The 1955 short ''Sahara Hare'', in which Bugs winds up in the Sahara Desert while digging his way to Miami Beach, ends with an appearance by Daffy Duck, [[HereWeGoAgain who is also going to Miami]].
** The 1959 short ''Apes of Wrath'', in which a drunken stork delivers Bugs to a gorilla couple, ends with said stork giving Bugs his own "baby": Daffy!
** In the 1964 short ''WesternAnimation/FalseHare'', a wolf and his nephew disguise themselves as rabbits to lure Bugs into a trap disguised as a "rabbit club". After several failed attempts at catching him, the wolf gives up and says he's starting a "rooster club" and [[HereWeGoAgain Foghorn Leghorn immediately appears to join]].
** In the 2014 CGI short ''Flash in the Pain'', Wile E. Coyote tries to catch the Road Runner by using a teleportation belt. When the belt malfunctions, Wile E. suddenly finds himself in Tweety and Sylvester's domain.
** Let's not forget the famous ending to ''WesternAnimation/DuckAmuck'', where the animator pestering Daffy turns out to be [[spoiler: Bugs Bunny]]. Or its lesser known sequel, ''WesternAnimation/RabbitRampage'', where Bugs is tormented by an animator who turns out to be [[spoiler: Elmer Fudd]].
* An ''extremely'' subtle example comes from ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' and ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls''. In "Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind", Rick opens up various portals to throw off the alternate Ricks pursuing him. A pad, pencil and coffee mug randomly drop out of one portal. In the ''Gravity Falls'' episode "Society of the Blind Eye" [[spoiler:when Grunkle Stan is fiddling with the portal]], those exact items get sucked in. The coffee mug even has a question mark on it in both shows.
* ''WesternAnimation/FutureWorm'''s "Finale" episode has Danny and Future-Worm [[spoiler: riding the Time Deer and briefly teleporting into the universes of other Disney XD shows:]] ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'', ''WesternAnimation/PickleAndPeanut'', ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'', and ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls''. In the case of the latter, it's plausible as an off-screen moment at the end of "Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons".
* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}'' episode "[[Series/QuantumLeap Quantum Freak]]", Freakazoid "prevents World War II"[[note]]which had actually been ongoing for two years in the rest of the world[[/note]] by preventing the Japanese assault on Pearl Harbor, then goes back to the present time to [[RippleEffectProofMemory see what changes it brought]]. Similar to the episode's beginning, UsefulNotes/AirForceOne is in peril and its pilot bailed, only this time the president is [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} The]] [[WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain Brain]], and the staffer trying to fly the plane is now Pinky.
** Another episode featured [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} Wakko]] appearing along with the Brain. They all argue over which of their cartoons is Creator/StevenSpielberg's favorite. They go to Spielberg himself and ask him to which he simply says, "Who are you people?".
* The George Pal Puppetoon "Jasper Goes Hunting" has Jasper and Scarecrow encountering an ink-and-paint WesternAnimation/BugsBunny, who is ushered in the scene with an ersatz rendition of the Merrie Melodies theme. Bugs soon realizes he's in the wrong picture and dives back into his hole.
* The ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' episode "Dad Is Disturbed" had Mom interrupting Dad's golf game by talking on the phone with "Betty". Dad gets her to stop by going to the other end, revealing that Mom was talking with a modern version of Betty Rubble from ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones''. At the episode's end, he goes back to the same house to watch the game with Barney.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'':
** One episode had Fry, Leela and Bender go into the sewers to rescue Nibbler, when Leela pulls up a manhole cover. On the manhole cover was a picture of ''WesternAnimation/ThePJs'' as well at the show's title. They returned the favor in the episode "Cliffhangin' With Mr. Super" by having a shot of a milk carton with a "missing persons" alerts on the side. The missing person? Philip Fry, who by that time was cooling his heels in cryo-freeze.
** A later episode had Bender running into [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Finn the Human and]] [[ActorAllusion Jake the Dog]] and responding to the latter's "What time is it?" with "Time for you to shut up!"
* The crossover between ''WesternAnimation/UncleGrandpa'' and ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' ends with Uncle Grandpa reading a piece of paper listing characters from current and past Cartoon Network shows- plus, [[UnexpectedCharacter of all shows]], the [[WesternAnimation/SwatKats SWAT Kats]].
* The ''Uncle Grandpa'' episode "Pizza Eve" has a segment in which Uncle Grandpa is giving out "Grampies", and many characters from currently-airing and past Cartoon Network shows are attending. As one might expect when Uncle Grandpa is the host, he sweeps all the awards (including the "best ''Steven Universe'' episode" award), which is likely a TakeThat to the ''Kids Choice Awards'' over on Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} and how they tend to favor Nicktoons over all other shows.
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' had the girls battling an evil ImaginaryFriend; when their efforts prove fruitless, they realize they need their own imaginary friend. Bubbles starts to suggest the Koosalagoopagoop from ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'', only for Buttercup to shoot her down by saying "Not that Koos jerk!"
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'' had the title character take on the persona of [[WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers Bob Belcher]]. The other Belcher family members appear, but only Linda has dialogue.
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' featured Fred and Wilma having a picnic. Their basket is stolen by none other than ''WesternAnimation/YogiBear''.
** Another Hanna-Barbera instance had Yogi Bear cameoing in an ''[[WesternAnimation/AugieDoggieAndDoggieDaddy Augie Doggie]]'' cartoon.
* Occurs in the Season 5 finale of ''WesternAnimation/{{Ninjago}}''. When Lloyd and Morrow have their battle, they wind up through several parallel realms, one of which being [[WesternAnimation/LegendsOfChima Chima]].
* The ''WesternAnimation/WeBareBears'' episode "[[HalloweenEpisode Charlie's Halloween Thing 2]]" features a segment where Charlie [[HumanityEnsues turns himself into a human]] via a magical carnival wishing machine to be able to leave the woods, only to end up flinging himself through multiple strange realities trying to turn back into a cryptid later, including one where Panda, Grizzly, and Ice Bear are [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Finn, Jake, and Ice King]] respectively (complete with a RoleReprise from Creator/TomKenny).
-->'''Ice King/Bear:''' Ice King in the wrong show.
* The ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'' episode "The Cartoon" ends on Lord Dominator switching TV channels from the titular cartoon attempt by Lord Hater to "The Mystery Kids' Mysteries", an amalgamation of ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsons'' and ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou'' starring [[CaptainErsatz Captain Ersatzes]] of the cast from ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'', complete with their voice actors.
-->'''Alien Dog/Soos''': Ruff ruff! Ruff, I'm a dog, dudes!
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow'' episode "Hot Cocoa Bang Bang", we see [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Comic Book Guy]] make a cameo appearance.
-->[[WorstWhateverEver "Worst. Cameo. Ever."]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TheCasagrandes'': In "Croaked", Carl is told on ''Dia de los Muertos'' that he has to spread marigold petals to form a path for their ancestors from the "land of the dead", leading him to [[LiteralMinded venture outside the apartment to make a long path to this "land"]]. At the end, when he finally uses up all the petals, he finds himself in front of [[WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse the Loud residence]].
