* From Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses:
** WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic sometimes uses his gun to shoot characters inside the movie or cartoon he's reviewing. He's also called characters from movies on the phone and had direct conversations. Usually the phone voice is either from the actor who played the Critic or his brother, but the Critic once conversed with stock footage of Creator/ChristianBale's rant on the set of ''Film/TerminatorSalvation'', used in a way to imply he was hating on the newer Batman movies.
*** Once, he interacted with a clip show of himself and Ma-Ti from ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers''.
*** He conversed on screen with Terl from ''Film/BattlefieldEarth'' (portrayed by Spoony, complete with DutchAngle).
** WebVideo/ThatDudeInTheSuede was killed by WebVideo/{{Benzaie}} using his ''Manga/DeathNote''.
** [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] has occasionally encountered characters from the works he's reviewed. In fact, in the conclusion of his ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' review, Dr. Insano hired Squall to kill Spoony.
** WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick's review of Creator/DonBluth's ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}'' was repeatedly interrupted by phone calls from the characters (and Yakov Smirnov) to complain. Rasputin in particular wouldn't leave her alone. Although Rasputin was later revealed to have [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic Chicago caller ID]], so it may have been an in-character joke.
** [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] has also occasionally faced off against characters from the comic books he's reviewed. Neutro was one of the first.
*** Along with characters from the franchise fighting him as above, a ''Franchise/SilentHill'' fog started engulfing [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara's]] [[strike:ruhm]] room while he was reviewing InNameOnly comics written by Scott Ciencin.
** WebVideo/JesuOtaku reveals in a vlog that his ScheduleSlip of "''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' Month" was apparently due to being consumed by ''Anime/DigimonTamers''' D-Reaper.

* WebVideo/RedLetterMedia plays with this quite a bit in one form or another:
** [[Franchise/StarWars Palpatine]] (next to Jar-Jar and Boss Nass) is a frequent player in the misgivings of Plinkett, primarily in the review trailers or crossover videos.
** A MauveShirt from ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'' (affectionately known as the "Star Trek Guy") became a full-on {{Expy}} [[TheWatson Watson]] of sorts, even cutting off Plinkett with his own questions outside the ''Star Trek'' reviews.

It's kinda like TrappedInTVLand, except the reviewer is usually not trapped, and in many cases, he's doing it to mock the work in question.
