* The ''Magazine/{{Mad}}'' parody of the first ''Film/XMen'' movie put Storm's infamous "Do you know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning?" question in italics and quotes to indicate that it's from the actual movie. Toad then replies that he doesn't, but he now knows that "[[Film/Batman1989 Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight]]?" is no longer the stupidest question asked in a comic book movie.

** In his live concerts, Al will fill time during costume changes (it presumably takes a bit to get into that fat suit for "Fat") by playing celebrity "interviews" in which he takes clips from actual interviews and puts himself in the part of the interviewer. While most of the humor comes from taking statements wildly out of context by changing the question, [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext some statements would be wildly self-absorbed and navel-gazey no matter what the question]].
** Weird Al parodies often lift a line or two verbatim from the original song, usually to put a humorous spin on it.

* Blue Laser in ''[[WebAnimation/HomestarRunner Cheat Commandoes]]'' is a fairly obvious parody of COBRA in ''WesternAnimation/GIJoe'' - and though several of their plots are clearly made up, their first appearance had them attempting to "blow up the ocean." It sounds totally in line with most Blue Laser plans, but it's ripped straight from an actual episode where COBRA got their hands on a formula that could turn bodies of water into explosives.
