Added Rita and Runt of \\\"Animaniacs\\\" fame to this page, though with a bit of uncertainty - they characters themselves stopped appearing in the show after a certain point (with no explanation - but then, this IS Animaniacs), but continued to show up in the opening credits (prompting many fans, during the show\\\'s original run, to believe that new Rita and Runt segments were still on the way). They did eventually return for the DTV movie \\\"Wakko\\\'s Wish\\\", though that was less a continuation of the series than a separate entry existing in its own world. Either way, I believe that that \\\"Missing\\\" milk carton gag was a definite lampshading of this particular trope. I\\\'ll leave it there and see what others think.
