* [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/504353 This]] {{Transformers}} AffectionateParody gives an account of Transformers appearing in TheGayNineties.

* The 2022 ''WesternAnimation/{{OswaldTheLuckyRabbit}}'' short is done in style of original silent cartoon (barring the piano track used as background music) that deliberately sticks to the black-and-white aesthetic of the original Disney shorts, complete with artificially-added film grain, and certain items missing from frames for brief split-seconds (such as the cannon Oswald makes out of an exclaimation point). The only thing betraying the retro nature of the short is the fact that most of it's in widescreen, though the Oswald short shown in-universe still uses an era-appropriate aspect ratio.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WF-7jPXvPEA This fake trailer]] depicts what ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda Zelda]]'' would have been like as a Creator/JohnHughes-esque [[TheEighties Eighties]] teen movie. Bonus points for including period music, an Orion Pictures logo and VHS artifacts; if you ignore the obvious parody bits, you could ''easily'' mistake it for an actual '80s trailer from an old videocassette.

* * ''WebAnimation/LaceyGames'' A DisguisedHorrorStory series which draw heavy influence from mid-2000s girl-oriented [[UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash flash games]], including the art style and typical gameplay.

* The box art for the ''WesternAnimation/DoubleDragon'' Blu Ray from Discotek is done in the style of the NES game, complete with the Eastern Star Logo replicating the old Trade West logo on the front.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'':

* Part of Harley-Davidson's appeal is in motorcycles that resemble those from the old days, particularly those from the Fourties and Fifties, but with modern conveniences added such as the softail rear suspension made to look like the rigid frames of yore. Add to the fact that the engines used on Big Twins aren't really that far removed from the original Knucklehead of 1936; the Twin Cam is an all-new design, but it's still conceptually similar.
** Enthusiasts either install or fabricate accessories to make their bikes more vintage looking, e.g. a FLD Dyna Switchback[[note]]Which was already intended to be reminiscent of late 50s Duo Glides[[/note]] customised to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTLy5Fnwujk more closely resemble]] a late 50s to 60s FL, or build a [[http://www.vtwinmfg.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/VTwinProd1_10101_10102_3318454_-1 reproduction]] bike that is practically identical to the original vintage models, save for more modern materials and production methods.

* It's not in the actual text, but some printings of ''Literature/TheBible'' contain supplementary material that looks like a seventeenth- or eighteenth-century pamphlet. For instance, "deluxe" versions of the New American translation contain, in the preface, a "[[LongTitle Synchronous History of the Nations, Showing Their Origin, Chief Events, Changes or Extinction, from the Earliest Period Through New Testament Period.]]" This version was printed in 1970.

* Following the success of their re-releases of classic Literature/DoctorWhoNovelisations, with original trade dress etc, BBC Books published several new novelisations in 2018 (''Rose'', ''The Christmas Invasion'', ''The Day of the Doctor'' and ''Twice Upon a Time'', plus a repackaging of ''City of Death''; one of James Goss's novelisations of Douglas Adams Fourth Doctor stories, which had been published in a completely different format). These replicate the appearance of the 1970s books, complete with Target insignia, Pertwee logo, and Anthony Dry doing his best Chris Achilleos impression for the cover illustrations. The only clues that they aren't well preserved books from the period (apart from, you know, the actual contents) are the BBC Books insignia on the spine, the fact the logo is foil, and that the original "Changing Face of Doctor Who" notes (explaining to kids for whom the TV Doctor had always been Creator/TomBaker who these other guys were) weren't so tongue-in-cheek. (The one for ''City of Death'', for example, not only notes that the Fourth Doctor changed his face when he "lost an argument with gravity", but is followed by a "Changing Face of Scaroth" note.) They followed this up in 2021 with ''Dalek'', ''The Crimson Horror'', ''The Witchfinders'' and repackagings of Goss's ''The Pirate Planet'', Eric Saward's Dalek stories (''Resurrection'' and ''Revelation'') and Gary Russell's novelisation of the [=McGann=] TVM. ''The Witchfinders'' is the odd one out, maintaining ''most'' of the trade dress, but with the Wittaker logo.

* Episode 9 of the second season of ''Manga/Pop Team Epic'' starts with a segment done in the style of 90s' anime

** Same with the ''Anime/NinjaSlayer'' ONA, using LimitedAnimation techniques that ran rampant during '80s and '90s anime as well as being in ''Square Standard Definition'' rather than in HD Widescreen.

** Same with the ''LightNovel/NinjaSlayer'' ONA, using LimitedAnimation techniques that ran rampant during '80s and '90s anime as well as being in ''Square Standard Definition'' rather than in HD Widescreen.

* The first episode of ''WebAnimation/SubloAndTangyMustard'' starts with a 20-year old commercial for Subpar recorded on a VHS tape, complete with fake scan lines, semi-blurry image quality, and muffled sound.

* Creator/FedorComix has an [[OrphanedSeries abandoned series]] animated in 8-bit style in its entirety.
** He also did an 8-bit themed issue of his show Fedor Comix Draws. It can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jTyQjezeC0 right here.]]
** Then there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj-mTG3ckhk this]] video stylized as a VHS recording of a Soviet propaganda video, complete with Kraftwerk-esque tune (it should be noted that Enjoykin (or Enjoyker), the composer, is a fan of this trope as well).
* ''WebAnimation/AFoxInSpace'' is made to look like it was created in the 1970's and transferred from an old, decaying film reel: the art style is rough, mimicking the look of xerography, the visuals are intentionally oversaturated as if the film dyes are fading, specks and strands of dust occasionally flicker on-screen, and the audio is crackly and cuts off high frequencies to sound like it was taken from a degraded optical audio track.

* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4t5qwD5rPz0JnERQ9DoesfMJ32W4CC2P as a black-and white 1930s cartoon]].
* In a similar vein, a retro version of the original ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' opening [[https://youtu.be/iimU_XvA2us with ragtime music]].
* ''WebAnimation/{{Evaporate}}'' is made to resemble internet videos from 1998-2007.

* The work of Irish animator [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-rSVF7vetL0mVpE5FEboUg/videos George White]] heavily leans to this, influences as far as Creator/JackKirby, 2000AD, Film/HammerHorror, the VHS age, Spectrum videogames, early Creator/LucasArts, BBC science-fiction, pulp novels and general LimitedAnimation.

* ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'' does this when Church is sent back in time. They use an earlier Creator/{{Bungie}} game, ''VideoGame/{{Marathon}}'', in place of the more modern ''Videogame/{{Halo}}'' engine for all the footage in that time period. Also, there's the dramatic lens flare that show up in CGI episodes in Season 9.
