See RemakeCameo for when the Mythology Gag involves actors from the original production. Compare to: ContinuityNod, DiscontinuityNod, RecurringElement, IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine, ActorAllusion, ContinuityCameo, CompanyCrossReferences, AscendedMeme, MeetYourEarlyInstallmentWeirdness (when taken a step further) and ShoutOut. Contrast DevelopmentGag, which references things that ''would'' have been part of the work but were left out halfway through production, and EarlyBirdCameo.

* The ''Webcomic/{{Lackadaisy}}'' animated pilot features a few nods to the original comic despite being relatively self-contained.
** The opening poem Rocky recites is an original written by the author, and featured in [[https://lackadaisy.com/comic.php?comicid=14 this strip.]]
** Mitzi reads Isadora Duncan's real-life obituary to the portrait of her late lover. The comic's primary plot is kicked off by a hidden message inside an obituary.
** Viktor angrily retorts he has a 'very good idea' of what Rocky went through to get his alcohol, referencing his past in the comic working for Lackadaisy as a rum-runner.
** During his RummageFail, Rocky tosses aside the cactus he gifted Mitzi in a [[https://lackadaisy.com/exhibit.php?exhibitid=368 non-canon side strip]], later canonized by the cactus' appearance in the same car.

* The AnimatedAdaptation (and its non-canon chibi SpinOff) of ''Literature/GrandmasterOfDemonicCultivationMoDaoZuShi'' often references novel events that aren't present in the adaptation.
** Wei Wuxian flips through his old notebook that Lan Wangji kept and briefly pauses to admire his flower bookmark. This is a reference to the flower bookmark Lan Wangji uses in the novel, which is hinted to be given to him by Wei Wuxian from one of the multiple instances he threw flowers at him.
** In the final episode, the protagonists return to a cottage in the mountains that's implied to be a home they live in outside of Gusu. In the novel, Wei Wuxian mentions multiple times his dream of retiring in a house in a secluded area to live a rural life with Lan Wangji.
** One episode of the spinoff has Lan Wangji and Lan Xichen trying out Wei Wuxian's food "suggestions" (such as eating lotus seeds from a lotus pod that has its stem intact). This references the novel extra chapter "Lotus Seed Pod", where Lan Wangji asked his brother about the food suggestions during their training session and later looked for fresh lotus pods so he could try them out.
** The chibi SpinOff twice brings back the Heavenly Maiden statue (a troublesome ArcVillain the cast has to defeat early in the main story) just to have characters comically beat it up.

* Occasionally done during ''Podcast/EscapeFromVaultDisney'' in reference to ''WebVideo/SomeJerkWithACamera'' episodes and other videos on Tony's Website/YouTube channel:
** When they are disgusted at Creator/SandraBullock's character dipping an Oreo in milk her cat just drank in ''Film/WhileYouWereSleeping'', Kit speculates this is where the cat flu from ''Film/EscapeFromTomorrow'' started, something that was frequently mocked in Tony's review of the latter film.
** In the podcast discussing the Lesley Ann Warren episode of ''Series/TheMuppetShow'', Tony says that since the episode contains a segment with a ballet based on ''Literature/BeautyAndTheBeast'', he'll probably have to co-review it with [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh Kyle Kallgren]] someday.
** In the ''[[Series/HighSchoolMusicalTheMusicalTheSeries High School Musical: The Musical: The Holiday Special]]'' episode, Chris wonders why this disposable special is on Disney Plus instead of the many better things that could be, leading to a reference to a recurring bit in Tony's "Top 15 Attractions That Closed in 2017 (And the First Couple Months of 2018)" ''State of the Parks'' video.
-->'''Tony:''' Well, what's the point in removing it?
-->'''Chris:''' Well, in theme park terms, they had nothing to replace it with.
** Tony describes the escape scene on the Death Star in ''Film/ANewHope'' as when "Luke lassos that thing, and the princess kisses him and they swing off together", a reference to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl8ATtghZ_Q this 70's commercial]] that was used in a couple of Tony's ''Franchise/StarWars''-related vlogs to show how much discourse around the franchise has changed since the original movie's debut.

* In WebAnimation/BlackRhinoRanger's animated music video, "Now That's What I Call VideoGame/{{Skylanders}} Polka", when Kaos sings "Only got twenty dollars in my pocket", Terrafin appears in the corner and shouts "THAT'S HOW MUCH HE OWES ME!", referencing a commercial for ''Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure'' where Terrafin claims Kaos owes him money.
