16	Unlike a regular television {{crossover}}, the Crossover Punchline is a brief gag. The Crossover is not vital to the storyline, it's just there for the fun of it. Used for laughs, it generally also uses the tropes AllJustADream or AlternateUniverse.
17
18	If the two works are owned by the same company, it doubles as CompanyCrossReferences. If owned by different companies, it can be a LawyerFriendlyCameo. Compare CrossoverCameo, which can sometimes overlap.

31	* In ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'', Shirogane once attempted to track down Suzu's {{doppelganger}} by scent. All he could find was a cardboard standee of Kyoko from ''Manga/ToLoveRu''.
32	* There's a one-shot manga by Creator/OsamuTezuka about a company testing a robot SalaryMan, who proceeds to [[GoingNative go native]] and become a union leader, while at the same time seducing every woman on the staff. After his creators have him assassinated it's revealed all the women in the company have (somehow) had his babies, which confuses the hell out of his best friend, who wonders "What does a robot baby look like, anyways?" Cut to a delivery room full of baby [[Manga/AstroBoy Astro Boys]].
33	* ''Anime/ProjectAKo'' features a blink-and-you'll-miss-it gag at the end of the original OVA, where A-Ko's mother is seen sewing something that looked suspiciously like Franchise/{{Superman}}'s costume. The gag (that A-Ko is Superman and Franchise/WonderWoman's daughter) is made far more explicit in the Creator/AntarcticPress adaptation, where her parents refer to each other as "Clark" and "Diana", and actually do look like their respective heroes.
34	* One episode of ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' ends with Spike ejecting a fridge with some kind of... [[ItCameFromTheFridge thing inside.]] In episode 8 of ''Anime/SpaceDandy'', Meow finds the fridge and eats the whatever-it-is.
35	* ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei's'' [[BrickJoke "Seven-year punchline"]], which started back in ''Manga/KatteNiKaizo'' when a character is sealed behind a wall and doesn't appear again until ''Zetsubou'', when she busts out and introduces herself.
36	* Season 3 of ''Anime/SpacePatrolLuluco'' features references to previous ''Creator/StudioTrigger'' works for four episodes in a row, each one more blatant than the last. Episode 7 confirms the existence of Life Fibers in the universe, features a planet named KLK-X, plays "Before my Body is Dry", and even has an alien that looks like Guts, but ''Anime/KillLaKill'' is not even mentioned once in the episode. Episode 8 takes place on the world of ''Franchise/LittleWitchAcademia'' and features an extended cameo from Sucy Manbavaran. The first half of episode 9 is for all intents and purposes a sequel to ''SEX and VIOLENCE with MACHSPEED'', with Luluco shoved into the background. Finally, episode 10 reveals that ''WebAnimation/InfernoCop'' is a member of the Space Patrol. All of this leads up to [[spoiler:TheReveal of Luluco being one of the three mascots of Studio Trigger, Trigger-chan.]]
37	* In ''Young Jump's'' "Jump Heroine" special edition in 2022, ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'' had a very brief crossover with the author's then-concurrent serialization ''Manga/OshiNoKo''. There, the latter's heroine Ruby Hoshino discusses a recent photoshoot and how kind and welcoming she found her photographer. The last page reveals that [[spoiler:the photographer was Kaguya, who finally realized her passion in adulthood, and that she eventually [[HighSchoolSweethearts got married to Shirogane]] and took his name]].

41	* ''Animation/HappyHeroes'': In Season 6 episode 14, a monster, contacting Big M. from far away, mentions being hit by Happy S. so hard that "I have no idea what cartoon I've ended up in!" In the background, Wolf Castle from Huang Weiming's other show, ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'', can be seen.
42	[[/folder]]

44	[[folder:Comic Books]]
45	* An issue of the ''ComicBook/DarkwingDuck'' comic had Launchpad lament the lack of openings for pilot/sidekicks. We then cut to him insisting he can fly the [[WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers Rescue Rangers]]' plane. While holding it in his hand.
46	-->'''Gadget:''' No. No, you cannot.
47	** Another comic had [[Creator/RobPaulsen Steelbeak]] give this NonSequiturThud, which counts as this, CanonWelding, or possibly both.
48	--->'''Steelbeak''': Ma? That you? I will watch my language... [[WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures Buster told me to]].
49	* During Walt Simonson's classic [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] run, when Thor was in his civilian identity he stumbled into two familiar-looking reporters named [[ComicBook/{{Superman}} Clark]] and ComicBook/{{Lois\|Lane}}. The joke here is that Thor has just lost his ability to transform into his mortal form Don Blake, and has just asked ComicBook/NickFury to give him a new civilian identity. Concerned that he could not hide those muscles, Fury gave him [[ClarkKenting a pair of glasses, since "they always worked for that other guy!"]] As Thor goes out wondering if they would work, cue the abovementioned meeting. And as he leaves the pair, a curious Clark looks back at him and wonders....
50	-->'''Clark:''' "Gee, that looked like... I could have sworn... naaaah."
51	* Similarly, when Voodoo and Spartan of the ''ComicBook/WildCATsWildStorm'' were vacationing, they were noticed by familiar-looking honeymooners named [[ComicBook/XMen Scott and Jean]]. Helping the gag is the fact that Jim Lee drew X-Men for years.
52	* An issue of ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'' ended with Mr. Mxyzptlk transporting himself to another dimension. He looks about himself, realises where he is and transforms himself into the form he normally wears in this universe; which looks suspiciously like ComicBook/FantasticFour foe the Impossible Man. To clinch the gag, four very familiar sets of legs are seen walking away from him.
53	** In the 700th issue of the series, which has Supes walking across America to get to know the common man more, he stops at a local diner for lunch. Outside is a reporter very heavily implied to be [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Peter Parker]] sent to do a report on him, in which he complains on his cellphone to someone name "J.J" about how mundane the story is.
54	* A more serious than usual example - the final (so far) arc of Alex di Campi's anthology series ''Grindhouse'' is a pastiche of 1960s/70s European SF porn comics that ends with a few panels revealing that the story was AllJustADream of a female convict being transported to what is [[LawyerFriendlyCameo heavily implied]] to be the space prison in ''ComicBook/BitchPlanet''.
55	* In the early numbers of her own series ComicBook/PowerGirl and her friend (the second) Terra are in a movie theater as their civilian identities, when they run into [[Series/TheBigBangTheory Leonard, Sheldon, Howard and Raj]]. Howard tries to hit on the girls with no success.
56	* Played for very dark laughs in ''ComicBook/{{Wanted}}''. After Mr. Rictus decides to drop TheMasquerade and just go back to being a normal supervillain, the first people he murders are "[[Series/Batman1966 the detective]]", as well as his youthful ward. He drops them in a vat of acid for added faithfulness to the source material.
57	[[/folder]]
58
59	[[folder:Comic Strips]]
60	* ''Magazine/{{Dragon}}'' comic strips:
61	** Annual #5 had all the artists on the regular comics switch places: ''Webcomic/DorkTower'' by Creator/PhilFoglio ended with the reveal that Bill was actually a disguised Dixie of ''ComicStrip/WhatsNewWithPhilAndDixie'', while ''ComicStrip/{{Nodwick}}'' by Creator/JohnKovalic ended with the reveal that it was a DeepImmersionGaming session by the cast of ''Dork Tower'' (with [[{{Munchkin}} Igor]] as a decidedly {{OOC}} Nodwick). (''What's New?'' by Aaron Williams was a more conventional ''Nodwick'' crossover.)
62	** A later issue had a ''Nodwick'' story called "Epic For A Day", in which a mysterious helmet makes Yeagar temporarily epic-level ... until a portal opens and Phil removes the helmet, takes his derby from beneath it, and gives Yeagar a DopeSlap.
63	* The October 31, 2010 strip for ''ComicStrip/{{BC}}'' has The Fat Broad running a pumpkin pie stand. The Cute Chick asks her where she found enough pumpkins to make the pies. The Fat Broad says that she just found one really big pumpkin. Cut to [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} Linus, Sally, and Charlie Brown]] in a pumpkin patch with Charlie Brown saying "I don't think he's coming, dude".
64	** Another strip has Peter looking for a replacement for Thor when the latter goes to hunt raptors. Volunteers include [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones Fred Flintstone]], ComicStrip/AlleyOop, and [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Peter Griffin]].
65	* One of ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'''s "I hate Mondays" gags was prompted by seeing [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} Snoopy]]'s reflection in the mirror.
66	** Another strip had Garfield stuck clinging to a tree branch. Just as he says [[TemptingFate that things can't possibly get any worse]], he ends up tangled in a kite as an off-panel voice cries out, "[[CharacterCatchphrase Good grief]]!"
67	* References to ''ComicStrip/TheFamilyCircus'' characters are a RunningGag in ''ComicStrip/PearlsBeforeSwine''.
68	* 1997 was the year of the Great April Fools' Day Comics Switcheroonie, in which a number of comic strip writers and artists handled each other's strips as a massive practical joke. In several cases characters from different strips met, such as Garfield and Jon having their house painted and leaving to visit [[ComicStrip/Blondie1930 the Bumsteads]].
69	* A ''ComicStrip/TheWizardOfId'' strip features the Snowman character mauled by vicious snowmen. His reaction?
70	--> '''Snowman:''' How did [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes Calvin]] get in here?
71	** The [[http://www.gocomics.com/wizardofid/2015/10/30 strip]] for October 30, 2015 shows the eponymous wizard conjuring up a spell involving the use of pumpkin [=DNA=]. When asked what he's doing, the wizard replies that he's "making a dream come true for a special little boy". Cut to [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} Linus]] running for his life out of the pumpkin patch away from "The Great Pumpkin" (er, a giant monster pumpkin).
72	* An arc in ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' had Charlie Brown seeing baseballs everywhere, from the rising sun to a weird rash he develops on the back of his head. After taking a trip to summer camp to get his mind off baseball, Charlie Brown's rash clears up one morning. He rushes to check the rising sun and see whether he was fully cured... only for the sun to appear as [[spoiler:the face of [[Magazine/{{Mad}} Alfred E. Neuman]]]].
73	-->'''Charlie Brown''': Good grief!
74	* While it occasionally occurred in the original series, Berke Breathed has started using this trope a lot in the 2015 reboot of ''ComicStrip/BloomCounty''. Usually the guest is another comic strip character (most commonly [[ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} Garfield]] or [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} Snoopy]]), but then you have strips like [[https://static1.squarespace.com/static/529f398ee4b0ee6848fe2724/55cb9e85e4b0a13f76699b0a/5813a279b3db2b2b3a925594/1477681787616/14859690_1342017192495697_9194809047025332943_o.jpg?format=500w this]] and [[https://static1.squarespace.com/static/529f398ee4b0ee6848fe2724/55cb9e85e4b0a13f76699b0a/5815fa10cd0f682fcb9efdca/1477835282678/ack+happens.jpg?format=500w this]].

76
77	[[folder:Fan Works]]
78	* ''Fanfic/ConnectingTheDots'' does this in its Justice League epilogue. Batman surveys other alternate universes to gather more information in case something like what happened with [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Konoha]] happens again. Wonder Woman looks at one of the monitors and questions "Why would someone [[ComicBook/SpiderMan shoot webs from their fingers]]?"
79	--> '''Batman:''' That, I do not know.
80	* Considering the loops allow for cross-overs with almost everything, this is a favorite tactic by a lot of ''Fanfic/TheInfiniteLoops'' writers, though there are some who make a conscious effort to not over abuse this.
81	* An episode of ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'' featured Ghost Nappa from ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' appearing in the middle and the {{Stinger}}. A special episode revealed that Kaiba was [[spoiler:a robot built by Freiza and Mokuba's real father is Ghost Nappa.]]
82	* ''WebVideo/NarutoTheAbridgedSeries'':
83	** An episode ends with the Hokage's funeral, and one of the character telling Konohamaru that he's in a better place. [[spoiler:We then see him crash-landing in front of [[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged King Yemma]].]]
84	** [[spoiler:Seems the Hokage wasn't the ''only'' outer Abridged Series character to be judged Yemma... Go and ask [[WebVideo/JoJosBizarreAdventureAbridged Abdul]]... On second thought, [[BerserkButton don't]].]]
85	* The episode of ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' that abridged the entire first season of the abridged series (Yikes!) features Yami Yugi from ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'' watching the episode and pondering "[[SelfDeprecation This has... how many subscribers?]]"
86	* In ''WebVideo/FiftyPercentOff'', the school Nagisa went to before he moved to Iwatobi was the ''WebVideo/DanganronpaAbridgedThing'' version of Hope's Peak Academy. Or at least a CrossoverAlternateUniverse version of it, as he killed everyone else before the plot could start.
87	* ''Fanfic/TheEditWarForAshsFreedomToNotBeBetrayed'' ends with this. [[spoiler:Darkern Edgier gets kicked out of the Hall of Origins by Arceus into another dimension, where he transforms into [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic a black and red alicorn]]. He immediately tries to apply his philosophy to the new world, only to get TakenForGranite "two half-hour adventures and a few friendship moments later".]]
88	* ''Fanfic/TheMountainAndTheWolf'': As the premise is that {{Literature/Wulfrik}} the Wanderer now goes between worlds (specifically Westeros, in this case) to spread the power of Chaos, several briefs lines imply he's been to other worlds, like murdering [[Literature/HarryPotter Fenrir Greyback]] mid-transformation, abducted a minstrel to sing a BawdySong from Podcast/LeDonjonDeNaheulbeuk, and killed an [[VideoGame/FinalFantasy Onion Knight]].
89	* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/51609004/chapters/130449952 Worm short stories and snippets]]'' story "[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/51609004/chapters/131159026 One Absolute Cluster-Trigger]]", a series of events leads to several parahumans being outside the locker where Taylor triggers, leading her to gain ComboPlatterPowers from each of them (Lung's dragon form, Hookwolf's metal blades, Shadow Stalker's shadow drop, Glory Girl's fear aura, Stormtiger's aerokinesis, and Panacea's unused ability to poison others). At the end of the story, Piggot (who has just been informed of the whole situation by Armsmaster) notes that they'll need a cape name for her, and Renick says they already have one in mind: [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro Cynder]].[[note]][[DontExplainTheJoke The joke being]] that Taylor's power-set matches up with Cynder's exactly.[[/note]]
90	* [[https://egophiliac.tumblr.com/post/735297562702200832/messing-around-with-techniques-ilike-the This]] ''VideoGame/TwistedWonderland'' fan comic taking place right after the "Stage in Playful Land" event sees Floyd ask Fellow Honest who wanted to buy the captured Night Raven College students. Fellow admits he doesn't know, just that it was some kind of institute. The last panel shows [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 Dr. Forrester]] grousing about not getting a test subject for his experiment before TV's Frank suggests they use Joel.

93	[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
94	* The trope image is the LogoJoke for ''WesternAnimation/MortalKombatLegendsScorpionsRevenge'': instead of Westernanimation/PorkyPig pulling Westernanimation/DaffyDuck inside the Creator/WarnerBros shield, it's [[Franchise/MortalKombat Scorpion]] himself, complete with his catchphrase 'GET OVER HERE!' It gets taken even further in the LogoJoke for the sequel ''WesternAnimation/MortalKombatLegendsBattleOfTheRealms'', wherein Scorpion is jumping around the logo instead of Daffy, and instead of Porky, Daffy, or another ''Mortal Kombat'' character pulling him back into the WB shield, it's none other than ''[[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Shaggy Rogers]]'', [[AscendedMeme a powerful aura surrounding him and eyes glowing]], who pulls Scorpion into the logo.
95	--->'''Shaggy''': [[BorrowedCatchphrase Like, get over here, man!]]
96	* ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKingOneAndAHalf'': At the film's very end, several characters of the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon show up uninvited at the theater to re-watch the whole movie with Timon and his friends and family.
97	* ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'': We see [[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc1 Mike Wazowski]] swimming through the end credits.
98	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' is full of them, as Genie assumes the form of WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} to accuse Aladdin of lying, and pulls ''Franchise/TheLittleMermaid'''s Sebastian out of a cookbook after reaching the page for Alaskan king crab. Genie is also shown to be wearing a Goofy hat from Disneyland in the ending after receiving his freedom from Aladdin's wish.
99	* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'', Zazu comments that Scar would make "a very handsome throw rug". In ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'', Hercules turns the Nemean Lion, who looks extremely similar to Scar, into a pelt (which he later tosses on the floor in frustration).
100	[[/folder]]
101
102	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
103	* At the very end of the 1944 Creator/BobHope film ''Film/ThePrincessAndThePirate'', Bob thinks he's won the girl, only for her to [[DidNotGetTheGirl rush past him]] and into the arms of his [[Film/RoadTo Road Picture]] co-star Music/BingCrosby, who had not been in the picture heretofore.
104	** Similarly, at the end of ''Film/MyFavoriteBrunette'', Hope's character is given a last-minute reprieve from execution; Crosby plays the very disappointed prison guard who was going to throw the switch on the electric chair. In a subtle additional gag, the film's heroine and fellow "Road" co-star, Dorothy Lamour, spends a long moment giving a "who is ''that?''" stare in Crosby's direction before being distracted by Hope.
105	* ''Film/WaynesWorld''. "[[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay Have you seen this boy?]]"
106	* ''Film/AbbottAndCostelloMeetFrankenstein'' ends with [[spoiler:the Invisible Man appearing. Or at least cameoing.]]
107	* A BrickJoke in ''Film/AMillionWaysToDieInTheWest'' about a very racist shooting range leads to TheStinger where [[Film/DjangoUnchained Django]] appears and shoots the owner.
108	** Earlier, the main character notices a glowing barn making strange noises, and finds [[spoiler: [[Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII Doc Brown]] fixing the Delorean.]]
109	* The ending of ''Film/JasonGoesToHellTheFinalFriday'' has [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger's]] arm sprouting from the ground to pull on Jason's mask as a SequelHook for ''Film/FreddyVsJason''.
110	* In [=ZaSu=] Pitts & Thelma Todd's ''Film/OnTheLoose'', the duo are driven to distraction by the fact that all the men they date only ever want to take them to the Coney Island amusement park. At the end, they finally snap when asked out for yet another trip to Coney Island by their new neighbours -- Creator/LaurelAndHardy.
111	[[/folder]]
112
113	[[folder:Literature]]
114	* The second novel in Creator/RobertRankin's ''Armageddon'' trilogy concludes with ''multiple'' {{Gainax Ending}}s, the second-to-last of which features Poole and Omalley from the same author's ''Brentford'' trilogy. Poole says that ''their'' books never ended with this kind of nonsense, and Omalley replies that yes, actually, they did.
115	[[/folder]]
116
117	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
118	* The Marty Feldman episode of ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' was a series of sketches based on ''Literature/ArabianNights'', the final story being ''Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves''. The final number had characters from ''Series/SesameStreet'' show for one last joke on "Open Sesame!". And in TheStinger...
119	-->'''Waldorf:''' How should we know how to get to Sesame Street?\
120	'''Statler:''' We don't even know how to get out of this stupid theater box!
121	* The epilogue of the series finale of ''Series/{{Newhart}}'' had Bob Newhart waking up in bed on the set of ''Series/TheBobNewhartShow'', next to his wife of the latter series, Suzanne Pleshette, explaining about his nightmare of being an innkeeper.
122	* The final show of ''Series/NoelsHouseParty'' ended with Noel waking up on the set of his earlier show ''Swap Shop''.
123	* An episode of ''Series/CarolineInTheCity'' ends with Niles and Daphne of ''Series/{{Frasier}}'' arguing over whether or not the most recent strip is funny.
124	* The ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' episode "The Keys" ends with Kramer appearing on ''Series/MurphyBrown''.
125	* After the credits of one episode of ''Series/MrShow'', a comic is seen talking to ''[[WesternAnimation/DrKatzProfessionalTherapist Dr. Katz]]''. Especially weird just because Mr Show is live-action.
126	* One Halloween episode of ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'' had a witch who wanted to sacrifice the guys in an occult ritual. At the end of the episode, they discuss the incident with another girl: ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch''.
127	* A Halloween episode of ''Series/TwoGuysAGirlAndAPizzaPlace'' revealed the killer that had been going around offing the cast to be... Mimi from ''Series/TheDrewCareyShow'', who said she wanted her own time slot.
128	* An episode of ''Series/TheLucyShow'' had Lucy mistakenly drafted into the marines, driving her drill sergeant insane. When she finally is able to leave, the sergeant is relieved he'll never have to deal with someone as nutty as her ever again. Enter her replacement...[[Series/TheAndyGriffithShow Gomer Pyle]].
129	* In an episode of ''Series/FamilyMatters'', Richie has a friend over that says Carl "'''does''' look like the Dad from ''[[Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir Fresh Prince]]''!" During the credits, an outtake of this scene was shown. When Richie's friend says line ''this time'', James Avery enters to everyone's amusement (both series were produced by Warner Bros.).
130	** At least one episode of ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'' turned it back around when Phil told Carlton he didn't want to see his [[Series/FamilyMatters Urkel]] impression again.
131	* In the final episode of ''Series/{{Coach}}'', Hayden and Christine find that Larry, Darryl, and Darryl from ''Series/{{Newhart}}'' have been watching their cabin after they left for Orlando (not actually living inside the cabin, just watching it while they slept under it). This also doubles as an in-joke, because both shows were created by the same person (Barry Kemp).
132	* In an episode of ''Series/{{Chuck}}'', Big Mike turns out to be a cousin of [[Film/DieHard Sgt. Al Powell]].
133	* Series/{{Drake\|AndJosh}} once walked into the ''Series/ICarly'' kitchen and mistook Carly for his sister Megan.
134	* The Adam West ''{{Series/Batman\|1966}}'' show often featured a scene where Batman and Robin were climbing up a building with a guest star coming out of the window. On three occasions, a fictional character came out instead. They were Lurch from ''Franchise/TheAddamsFamily'', Colonel Klink from ''Series/HogansHeroes'' and ''Radio/TheGreenHornet''. ''Series/TheGreenHornet'' was the only one who was later featured in an entire episode.
135	* The ''Series/BreakingBad'' DVD included a joke "alternate ending" where it turns out the entire series was AllJustADream that Hal from ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'' was having from [[AcidRefluxNightmare eating deep-fried Twinkies before bed]] (the joke being that both Walter White and Hal are played by the same actor, Creator/BryanCranston).
136	[[/folder]]
137
138	[[folder:Music]]
139	* The video for "Moonshine" from {{Music/Caravan Palace}} ends with the protagonist reaching the edge of the world, breaking through... and ending up in the strip club from "Lone Digger". For bonus points, he's implied to be the donkey.
140	* The ripping parody channels Music/SiIvaGunner, Music/TimmyTurnersGrandDad, and Music/VvvvvaVvvvvvr occasionally use each others' RunningGags as a joke in a rip. A three-way crossover happened on 19 May 2023, when [=SiIva=] (who was mass-uploading [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening Raft Ride]] rips), TTGD (doing the same for [[VideoGame/{{Omori}} 100 Sunny]]) and [=VvvvvaVvvvvvr=] (doing the same for [[VideoGame/Yume2kki Fairy Tale Path]]) uploaded rips mixing their joke with both other channels'.

142
143	[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
144	* Wrestling/BlackRose cheering on her former WWC client Bronco #1, "as a fan" while she was contracted to WWC's main rival IWA Puerto Rico, or perhaps Wrestling/AustinAries continuing to show up in Wrestling/RingOfHonor, "as a fan", while contracted to Wrestling/{{TNA}}. This was tolerated by IWA, [[ContinuityNod because Black Rose was originally a WWC audience member]] that Rico Suave had {{dare\|tobebadass}}d to get into the ring before he made her Bronco #1's valet. Austin Aries on the other hand was trying to get TNA's office to pay more attention to him and signed a new ROH contract on the spot when he got fired over the phone.
145	* Wrestling/SamiCallihan's stalking of Wrestling/DaizeeHaze in the International Wrestling Cartel included attacking students of the ROH Dojo, which Haze was head trainer of alongside [[Wrestling/HunterJohnston Delirious]], and leaving cameras/[[Wrestling/JonMoxley switchblades]] in its facilities.
146	* Before making an official return to Wrestling/{{CMLL}}, Dr. Wagner Jr made brief appearances threatening revenge against Ultimo Guerrero and Atlantis. These were little nods to independent promotion Lucha Liga Elite, which was featuring Wagner on television, something CMLL lacked at the time.
147	[[/folder]]

149	[[folder:Video Games]]
150	* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'': Leon can save a dog greatly resembling Hewie from ''VideoGame/HauntingGround'' ([[DevelopmentGag One of the many prototypes for RE4]], along with ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry1'') from a bear trap. If he does so, the same dog will distract El Gigante later on. Leon will also draw attention to it with the {{narm}}y line, "Hey...it's that dog!" Interestingly, saving the dog from the bear trap by shooting it with your gun will free him as well, but he won't appear to help you later (The dog is trapped by its leg, and Hewie was shot in the leg by the main antagonist in ''Haunting Ground''. Not surprising it wouldn't like the reminder).
151	* ''VideoGame/TheSimpsonsGame'' has the penultimate boss fight against Creator/MattGroening -- who attacks you with copies of Bender and Zoidberg from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''.
152	* Most of the endings of ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' and its ''Ultimate'' re-release features the Marvel characters interacting with Capcom characters (whether they appeared as playable characters [[TheCameo or not]]) and vice-versa. Highlights include ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe'' working on a film directed by Mojo and Spiral, Hulk storming the mansion setting of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil1'' with Chris (and [[CurbStompBattle manhandling]] [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis Nemesis]]), Arthur attacking Fin Fang Foom, who is trying to do his best to tolerate the weaker opponent, and Mr. Fantastic recruiting Frank West to help infiltrate the ''ComicBook/MarvelZombies'' universe, among many others.
153	* ''VideoGame/{{Skate}} 2'' has an extremely rare voice line spoken by two police officers discussing arresting a man for a DUI and how his ID says he's from Tri-City Bay, the fictional city in ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed Undercover''.
154	* ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}} 3'': In one of the Frozen Throne expansion missions, you can encounter a boss called "The Butcher", who guards an item called "Wirt's other leg". These are both references to Blizzard's VideoGame/{{Diablo}} franchise. The Butcher even plays the same sound clip as the Butcher from [[VideoGame/Diablo1997 the original Diablo]] does when you encounter him. The item additionally has an extended tooltip, jokingly suggesting that the Diablo and Warcraft universes are connected.

158	* [[spoiler:Despite already being a crossover,]] ''WebAnimation/DoubleRainboom'' has one of these: At the end of the video, where Rainbow Dash is writing her letter to Princess Celestia about why you should not take things that don't belong to you, Pinkie Pie asks "What will I do with this then?", pulling out [[WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends Bloo]] from {{hammerspace}}. The Foster's theme tune then plays as the video fades to the ending credits.
159	* In episode 8 of ''WebAnimation/InanimateInsanity II'', once the contests reach Meeple headquarters they hear a voice of the company's CEO. When they try to see who the voice belongs to, we see Gamey, the host of ''WebAnimation/ObjectOverload'' (Another popular {{Object Show\|s}}), who points them towards Steve Cobs.
160	* ''WebAnimation/MyLittlePonyMeets'':
161	** At one moment in ''Tsum Tsum Meets My Little Pony'' we get a zoom in to the inside of Apple Bloom's mind, and sure enough, ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'' characters are seen.
162	** ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}} Meets My Little Pony'' begins with a scene involving ''WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}}'' characters, ending with Bambi getting crushed by Godzilla. This may seem like a BigLippedAlligatorMoment, [[FridgeBrilliance but then you remember]] ''WesternAnimation/BambiMeetsGodzilla'' is a thing that exists...
163	** ''Anime/SailorMoon Meets My Little Pony'' has a gag where Discord begs Tirek for mercy, while claiming he has a child. When Tirek points out he doesn't, Discord responds by [[spoiler:reaching into an alternate universe and snatching up Screwball, his daughter from the ''Fanfic/BrideOfDiscord'' verse, before that universe's Discord comes and takes his daughter back.]]
164	* One of the [[MultipleEndings six non-canon endings]] of the last episode of ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'' showed that the whole series was just an overly long Halo 2 multiplayer match.
165	* ''WebAnimation/PokemonRalphie'' ends with Ralphie in jail and declaring he's going to change himself for the better. [[spoiler:Then it turns out this coincides with the Season 3 premiere of ''WebAnimation/PokemonRusty'', and [[ShaggyDogStory Ralphie gets killed by the jailbreak]].]]
166	* An episode of ''WebVideo/FreemansMind'' had Freeman see Mike and Dave from ''WebAnimation/CivilProtection'' on their lunch break, excitedly proclaiming they were going to get tacos.
