* ''WebAnimation/TheMostEpicStoryEverToldInAllOfHumanHistory'': Several. WebAnimation/JaidenAnimations is the most explicit, appearing just to say "You just wanted an excuse to try drawing my hair, didn't you?" Other cartoon characters including Franchise/DonkeyKong, VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog, [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants Patrick Star]], and WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}} appear for quick gags to serve this role as well.

*''Literature/ATestOfFayth'' has several references to what are likely inspirations. The series was stated to have an inspiration from ''[[Webcomic/Rain2010 Rain]]'' and main character, Fayth's aunt is named Jora, which means "autumn rain" in Hebrew. Further more, the series likely takes a lot from ''Manga/HighScoreGirl'', as the existence of arcades and the character Jibby seems to imply.

* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' started out taking many elements from ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'', with its initial protagonist Jonathan Joestar being heavily inspired by Kenshiro in appearance and fighting style. It takes until [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Part 6]] for the manga to finally make an explicit nod to ''Fist Of the North Star'' (the characters Kenshiro and Raoh are mentioned to have become real thanks to [[ArtInitiatesLife the effects of a Stand]]), [[DerivativeDifferentiation ironically long after the series had heavily departed from its inspiration]].

* The cover illustration for Act. 11 of ''[[Manga/SailorMoon Sailor Moon]]'' features Ami holding a book with text on it. Though the words and letters ''seem'' random, the phrase "O'z (sic) MAHOU TSUKAI" can be seen clearly. This refers to ''Oz no Mahoutsukai'', known in English-speaking countries as ''[[Literature/LandOfOz The Land of Oz]]'' book series, and may also refer to the [[Anime/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz anime adaptation]] that aired from 1986 to 1987. Both ''Sailor Moon'' and the second Oz book, ''Literature/TheMarvelousLandOfOz'' feature a quest to find a missing princess (Princess Serenity, Princess Ozma), and also have TheReveal that [[spoiler: the missing princess is the protagonist the reader has been following since the beginning.]]

* ''VideoGame/CoralIsland'': Near the entrance to the mines is an NPC vendor called the Concerned Monkey, a nod to Eric "[=ConcernedApe=]" Barone, creator of fellow farming sim ''VideoGame/StardewValley'' and a major inspiration for the game. One of the items the Monkey sells is a nod to the original farming sim, ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon'', a piece of head-wear called the "O.G. Farmer's Hat" that resembles the blue cap and cowlick worn by the protagonist of the early games in the series.

* At various points in ''Literature/SailorNothing'', the characters use products made by the "Himemiya Heavy Industry." This is a reference to ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'', where "Himemiya" is the surname of one of the main characters, Anthy. Like ''Utena'', ''Sailor Nothing'' has a backstory involving a young girl (the title character of ''Utena'', Himei in ''Nothing'') meeting a princely character in an hour of need (Dios in ''Utena'', Magnificent Kamen in ''Nothing''), who she becomes enamored with. And just like ''Utena'', the "prince" in ''Nothing'' [[spoiler: turns out to not be as nice of a guy as he first appeared to be.]]
