* In ''{{Rango}}'' The Spirit of the West (Also called "The Man with No Name") is heavily implied to be a retired Clint Eastwood. Who gives the protagonist the advice needed to save the town.

* In ''LittleNicky'', Nicky pulls a DeusExMachina by summoning the ultimate force of darkness to take down Adrian: [[spoiler:Music/OzzyOsbourne, who proceeds to bite the head off the then-bat-transformed demi-devil]]. ''[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Awesome]]''.
* At the end of ''{{Half Baked}}'', [[DeusExMachina the day is saved]] when one of the characters opens the "[[TheGratefulDead Jerry Garcia]][[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin -in-a-bag]]" that [[ChekhovsGun he'd been wearing around his neck]] [[CompanionCube and talking to]] [[ChekhovsGun the whole movie]].

* One of Shelley's [[http://scarygoround.com/index.php?date=20090217 plans to rescue Des from his hosts]] on a {{council estate}} in ''ScaryGoRound'' is "Enlist Bjork!"

* In ''PS238'', Creator/WilWheaton is a psychokinetic.

* ''FakeNewsRumble'' runs on this.

KevinBacon, who convinces everyone to dance. To that song from ''{{Footloose}}''. Everyone is friends again and have fun. The Devil laments to his henchman Smeck, "Kevin Bacon again! I create one little party game, and now he won't leave me alone!"
* ''{{Family Guy}}'' had an episode where newsman Hugh Downs (doing his own voice) shows up to rescue Meg and the local geek from a hostage situation. At the end of the scene, he flies away, a la Superman.

* Every pro in ''BackyardSports''.

The characters of a work are in some kind of a crisis, and simply need help. Thankfully, they bump into a friendly celebrity. No, the work is not LikeRealityUnlessNoted - they could very well be [[SpongebobSquarepants diminutive talking sea creatures who meet David Hasselhoff on the beach]]. And it's more than that - the celebrity is ''very'' unlike reality. In fact, they have super-powers. Why? Because they're a celebrity.

--->'''Piggy:''' Hi-yah!! <bounces off>
--->'''Kermit:''' Wow! He really is the [[{{Superman}} Man of Steel]].

* {{MegaTokyo}}'s Ed is obsessed with Erika and Kimiko because high caliber idols have the power to shape nations.
** Which... isn't actually THAT much of a stretch. Maybe not NATIONS, but at least subcultures and such.
