This trope is probably gonna require some level of franchise familiarity, but I still think that there's room for a decent image. I propose Archie being killed by the Predator or Rick and Morty crashing into The Simpsons:

In both cases, they do clearly contrast with the setting in someway, indicating the "Crossover" part, and them being killed indicates the "fake" part.

The Cover of Star Trek / X-Men

(Obvious caption would be "Would Khan be pert of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants?")

[tdown] I think both of your suggestions are too NSFW.

That's not what NSFW means. It means something that could get you fired from your job by being mistaken for porn.

If he trope implies it's canon in the work the crossover is made in, and non-canon in the work of the visitors, then I don't think 1.2 counts, as it doesn't seem like it's canon in either. If it doesn't have to be canon in either, then I think the description is misleading.

[up]Given the dimension hopping premise of Rick and Morty, there isn't any reason why it couldn't be canon to that show. It aired on The Simpsons, granted, which probably makes it weird.

This is out of the scope of an image pickin' thread, but a better name would probably be "One-sided Crossover"

Also, as for it being NSFW: I could maybe see the case for 1.1 being too violent, but 1.2 is perfectly fine.
