A Weird Crossover is an unlikely crossover between works different enough, be it in themes, tones (e.g. mixing something very dark with something very upbeat), genres (e.g. merging a Sci-Fi or Horror franchise with one set in our world, or a specific superhero in a kind of setting he[=/=]she is usually not associated with), etc. It can be a full work, but there are many examples using it to create fake movies trailers. Also, there are examples of this trope serving to make a single InUniverse joke, the Weird Crossover work referred InUniverse being a ShowWithinAShow (or an unlikely project existing InUniverse). The trope is usually PlayedForLaughs, the joke being the unlikeliness of the crossover.
For [[UsefulNotes/{{Copyright}} obvious reasons]] (though official weird crossovers exists, sometimes involving universes inside the same franchise or {{Public Domain Character}}s), this trope is often restricted to {{Game Mod}}s, FanArt, FanFic, and various kinds of WebOriginal contents.

On the other hand, the Rumble Room mode (custom game) allows any combination of characters in the player's party, and the crossover can be even weirder since all the characters from the unmodded game (basically an AffectionateParody of UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks) are available too.

Also, there are examples of this trope serving to make a single InUniverse joke, the Weird Crossover work referred InUniverse being a ShowWithinAShow (or an unlikely project existing InUniverse). The trope is usually PlayedForLaughs, the joke being the unlikeliness of the crossover.

[[AC:FanFic]]
* ''Fanfic/TheManyWorldsInterpretation'' is Creator/TerryPratchett's ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' meets ''Series/TheBigBangTheory''. Magic meets science, a flat earth intrudes on the physics and cosmology of a spherical one, dysfunctional intellects clash in the context of a university full of egotists and oddballs...
[[AC:{{Film}} (Animated)]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie'' mixes several LEGO licenced universes. While Franchise/{{Batman}} is one of the protagonists, there are many {{Cameo}}s and {{One Scene Wonder}}s involving Creator/DCComics characters (Franchise/{{Superman}}, Franchise/GreenLantern, Franchise/WonderWoman, etc), [[Franchise/HarryPotter Albus Dumbledore]], [[Franchise/StarWars Han Solo, Chewbacca, C3PO and Lando Calrissian]], [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Gandalf the Grey]], [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Michaelangello]], etc. It is a rare example when the crossovers receive an InUniverse justification: TheReveal tells that [[spoiler: the animated part of the movie actually represents the imagination of a boy playing with his father's own LEGO collection.]]
[[AC:{{Film}} (Live Action)]]
* ''Film/BatmanDeadEnd'' is about a fan film about Franchise/{{Batman}} meeting [[Franchise/AlienVsPredator a Xenomorph and a Predator]] while pursuing the ComicBook/{{Joker}} in Gotham City.
[[AC: LiveActionTV]]
* ''Series/SanfordAndSon''. A crossover with ''Series/HawaiiFiveO'' is heavily invoked in "The Hawaiian Connection" trilogy. While Fred and Lamont get caught up in a diamond smuggling ring that's being investigated by the actual Five-O, references to Steve [=McGarrett=] (famous hair and all) are made throughout, implying that in-Sanford-universe, [=McGarrett=] actually works for the actual Five-O.
* ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace'': Episode 4 of the series features a crossover with the ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles''.
* Creator/ScottBakula had a season or so long arc guest starring on ''Series/MurphyBrown'' as Murphy's love interest, and they almost get married. In Bakula's last episode, he leaves the newsroom bullpen via elevator and you see him [[Series/QuantumLeap glowing blue as if he's leaping]].
* In the ''Series/TheXFiles'' episode "X-Cops" the producers of an episode of ''Series/{{COPS}}'' run into Mulder & Scully while filming one of their episodes and end up following them as they investigate one of their X-Files.

* ''VideoGame/SonicDash'' includes characters from ''VideoGame/AngryBirdsEpic''.
* One "official" mod for ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' (official in the sense that it was written by Creator/{{Bethesda}} and Creator/{{Valve}}, albeit mostly as a joke) has the Space Core from ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'' crash-land outside Whiterun.
* ''VideoGame/LEGODimensions'', like ''The LEGO Movie'', is a crossover between licensed universes, complete with Franchise/{{Batman}} as one of the main protagonists. This time, however, [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Gandalf the Grey]] is also one of the main protagonists.

* ''VideoGame/DeadIsland''
** The game has the ''[[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Fist of the Dead Star]]'' mod, which alters the game's physics and unarmed combat mechanics, allowing the protagonists to hit very fast and very hard while running very fast and jumping very high, thus turning them into alternate versions of Kenshiro. Of course, someone made [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoLadZotBuE a montage of gameplay footage with music and sound effects from the anime adaptation]] (the music is the opening theme of the French version).
** It becomes even funnier when you realize that unarmed combat specialist John Morgan, the new player character of ''VideoGame/DeadIslandRiptide'', has actually been created has a reference to this mod.
[[AC:WebOriginal]]
* On the French internet, the announcement of Creator/OmarSy having a supporting role in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' led to a recurrent joke about Omar Sy playing the same character that in ''Film/{{Intouchables}}'', now hired by Professor Xavier as his care-giver.
* Announcements of [[Creator/{{Disney}} the Walt Disney Company]] buying Creator/MarvelComics and the ''Franchise/StarWars'' franchise gave birth to a lot of FanArt showing Mickey and Co. dressed as Marvel or ''Star Wars'' characters.
* The WildMassGuessing pages on this very wiki are occasionally guilty of this when imagining connections between totally unrelated works and universe (especially when trying to create connections with ''Series/DoctorWho'').

[[AC:WebVideo]]
* The parodic French webseries ''Series/FlandersCompany'' is set in an universe in which appear very thinly veiled {{Lawyer Friendly Cameo}}s of various Creator/MarvelComics and Creator/DCComics characters, [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]], [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario and Luigi]], Franchise/HarryPotter, Franchise/{{Naruto}}, etc. The supervillains' highest authority seems to be a council featuring ComicBook/LexLuthor, ComicBook/{{Magneto}}, ComicBook/DrDoom, and DarthWiki/DarthVader.

* ''[[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xntgco_intouchables-feat-drive_shortfilms Intouchables (Feat Drive)]]'' is ''Film/{{Intouchables}}'' opening's scene, while the soundtrack has been replaced with ''Film/{{Drive}}'' opening theme.

[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
* Similarly to the ''LEGO'' animated movie, ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' ''[[Recap/SouthParkImaginationland Imaginationland]]'' trilogy uses this as a part of its premise. Since the story is set in an alternate dimension created from the imagination of humanity, most of the supporting characters are already existing fictional characters. The rulers of Imaginationland are the Council of Nine, which members are [[Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia Aslan the Lion]], [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Gandalf the Grey]], [[Film/TheWizardOfOz Glinda the Good Witch]], {{Jesus}}, [[Franchise/StarWars Luke Skywalker]], [[Franchise/TheMatrix Morpheus]], ComicStrip/{{Popeye}}, Franchise/WonderWoman, and [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Zeus]]. The Evil side includes, among others, [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]], [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Ganondorf]], the ghosts from ''VideoGame/{{PacMan}}'', ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}, etc. A more exhaustive list of ''Imaginationland'' characters can be found [[http://southpark.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Characters_from_Imaginationland here]].
* The Emmy Awards committee produced ''WesternAnimation/CartoonAllStarsToTheRescue'', and had it simulcast on all three networks on Saturday 21 April 1990. The well-intentioned but hopelessly hamfisted effort to discourage drug abuse roped in characters from Creator/{{Disney}}, Creator/WarnerBros, Creator/DiCEntertainment, Creator/JimHenson, Series/{{ALF}}... few studios were spared, resulting in a WhatWereYouThinking hodgepodge production.
* The ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' episode "Say Uncle" is a crossover with ''WesternAnimation/UncleGrandpa'', which is DenserAndWackier than ''Steven Universe''. The episode concludes with a declaration that this is a FakeCrossover.
* ''WesternAnimation/BambiMeetsGodzilla''. ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.
* Scully and Mulder of ''Series/TheXFiles'' appear on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' when Homer reports seeing an alien.
* Surprisingly averted with ''WesternAnimation/FredAndBarneyMeetTheThing'', an hour long cartoon block in 1979. Creator/HannaBarbera's Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble never meet Creator/MarvelComics' The Thing from ''ComicBooks/FantasticFour''. The show paired a half hour of ''WesternAnimation/TheNewFredAndBarneyShow'' with another half hour of Ben Grimm, who could use his "Thing Ring" to transform from normal human to living rock being and back, contradictory to Marvel canon. Obviously, the show's title is a complete misnomer.

** [[http://www.cracked.com/article_20113_5-insane-pop-culture-crossovers-that-almost-happened.html 5 Insane Pop Culture Crossovers That Almost Happened]] is a WhatCouldHaveBeen variant of the previous one, since it focused on official crossover projects which eventually didn't happen: Comicbook/GhostRider[=/=]WesternAnimation/CasperTheFriendlyGhost, Franchise/{{Rocky}} Balboa[=/=]''Franchise/GIJoe'', ''Series/QuantumLeap''[=/=]''Series/MagnumPI'', and [[Film/JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack Jay and Silent Bob]]''[=/=]''Franchise/{{Hellraiser}}'' [[note]]the fifth one isn't an actual crossover but the aborted concept of the third Film/{{Jaws}} movie initially supposed to be a Franchise/NationalLampoon film[[/note]].

Magic meets science, a flat earth intrudes on the physics and cosmology of a spherical one, dysfunctional intellects clash in the context of a university full of egotists and oddballs...
[[AC:{{Film}} (Animated)]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie'' mixes several LEGO licenced universes. While Franchise/{{Batman}} is one of the protagonists, there are many {{Cameo}}s and {{One Scene Wonder}}s involving Creator/DCComics characters (Franchise/{{Superman}}, Franchise/GreenLantern, Franchise/WonderWoman, etc), [[Franchise/HarryPotter Albus Dumbledore]], [[Franchise/StarWars Han Solo, Chewbacca, C3PO and Lando Calrissian]], [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Gandalf the Grey]], [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Michaelangello]], etc. It is a rare example when the crossovers receive an InUniverse justification: TheReveal tells that [[spoiler: the animated part of the movie actually represents the imagination of a boy playing with his father's own LEGO collection.]]
[[AC:{{Film}} (Live Action)]]
* ''Film/BatmanDeadEnd'' is about a fan film about Franchise/{{Batman}} meeting [[Franchise/AlienVsPredator a Xenomorph and a Predator]] while pursuing the ComicBook/{{Joker}} in Gotham City.
[[AC: LiveActionTV]]
* ''Series/SanfordAndSon''. A crossover with ''Series/HawaiiFiveO'' is heavily invoked in "The Hawaiian Connection" trilogy. While Fred and Lamont get caught up in a diamond smuggling ring that's being investigated by the actual Five-O, references to Steve [=McGarrett=] (famous hair and all) are made throughout, implying that in-Sanford-universe, [=McGarrett=] actually works for the actual Five-O.
* ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace'': Episode 4 of the series features a crossover with the ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles''.
* Creator/ScottBakula had a season or so long arc guest starring on ''Series/MurphyBrown'' as Murphy's love interest, and they almost get married. In Bakula's last episode, he leaves the newsroom bullpen via elevator and you see him [[Series/QuantumLeap glowing blue as if he's leaping]].
* In the ''Series/TheXFiles'' episode "X-Cops" the producers of an episode of ''Series/{{COPS}}'' run into Mulder & Scully while filming one of their episodes and end up following them as they investigate one of their X-Files.
[[AC:VideoGame]]
''Official videogames only (non fanmade mods or fangames). Examples from mods and amateur games are below.''
* ''VideoGame/SonicDash'' includes characters from ''VideoGame/AngryBirdsEpic''.
* One "official" mod for ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' (official in the sense that it was written by Creator/{{Bethesda}} and Creator/{{Valve}}, albeit mostly as a joke) has the Space Core from ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'' crash-land outside Whiterun.
* ''VideoGame/LEGODimensions'', like ''The LEGO Movie'', is a crossover between licensed universes, complete with Franchise/{{Batman}} as one of the main protagonists. This time, however, [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Gandalf the Grey]] is also one of the main protagonists. The crossover aspect is one of the main aspects of the game, and there are Level Packs for additional worlds such as [[Frachise/BackToTheFuture Hill Valley]] and [[Franchise/TheSimpsons Springfield]].
[[AC:GameMods and amateur games]]
* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' modding community includes several ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' mods, as well as ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' ones.
* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'' and ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' have ''Franchise/StarWars'' and ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' themed-mods. You can also [[http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/36205/ replace Mr. House with Dr. House]]...
* ''VideoGame/DeadIsland''
** The game has the ''[[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Fist of the Dead Star]]'' mod, which alters the game's physics and unarmed combat mechanics, allowing the protagonists to hit very fast and very hard while running very fast and jumping very high, thus turning them into alternate versions of Kenshiro. Of course, someone made [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoLadZotBuE a montage of gameplay footage with music and sound effects from the anime adaptation]] (the music is the opening theme of the French version).
** It becomes even funnier when you realize that unarmed combat specialist John Morgan, the new player character of ''VideoGame/DeadIslandRiptide'', has actually been created has a reference to this mod.
[[AC:WebOriginal]]
* On the French internet, the announcement of Creator/OmarSy having a supporting role in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' led to a recurrent joke about Omar Sy playing the same character that in ''Film/{{Intouchables}}'', now hired by Professor Xavier as his care-giver.
* Announcements of [[Creator/{{Disney}} the Walt Disney Company]] buying Creator/MarvelComics and the ''Franchise/StarWars'' franchise gave birth to a lot of FanArt showing Mickey and Co. dressed as Marvel or ''Star Wars'' characters.
* The WildMassGuessing pages on this very wiki are occasionally guilty of this when imagining connections between totally unrelated works and universe (especially when trying to create connections with ''Series/DoctorWho'').
* Goldenmoustache ''[[http://www.goldenmoustache.com/le-groupe-facebook-secret-des-grands-mechants-92271/ Le groupe Facebook]] [[http://www.goldenmoustache.com/le-groupe-facebook-secret-des-grands-mechants-2-97047/ SECRET des]] [[http://www.goldenmoustache.com/le-groupe-facebook-secret-des-grands-mechants-3-103373/ Grands Méchants]]'' ("The Big Bads' Secret Facebook Group") is made of fake Facebook's screenshots with comments of real-life dictators (UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler, UsefulNotes/JosefStalin, UsefulNotes/MaoZedong, [[UsefulNotes/TheRulersOfNorthKorea Kim Jong-Un]], UsefulNotes/SaddamHussein, etc), current controversial personalities ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_Le_Pen Marine Le Pen]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%A9r%C3%B4me_Kerviel Jérôme Kerviel]], etc), and fictional villains (DarthWiki/DarthVader, [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Sauron]], the T-Rex from ''Franchise/JurassicPark'', [[Disney/{{Aladdin}} Jafar]], [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Shredder]], [[Literature/TheSilenceOfTheLambs Hannibal Lecter]], etc).
[[AC:WebVideo]]
* The parodic French webseries ''Series/FlandersCompany'' is set in an universe in which appear very thinly veiled {{Lawyer Friendly Cameo}}s of various Creator/MarvelComics and Creator/DCComics characters, [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]], [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario and Luigi]], Franchise/HarryPotter, Franchise/{{Naruto}}, etc. The supervillains' highest authority seems to be a council featuring ComicBook/LexLuthor, ComicBook/{{Magneto}}, ComicBook/DrDoom, and DarthWiki/DarthVader.
* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nsi06PG7w_0 Wes Anderson's The Shining]]'' (AKA ''The Grand Overlook Hotel''), is, you guessed, a fake trailer mixing ''Film/TheShining'' and ''Film/TheGrandBudapestHotel''.
* ''[[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xntgco_intouchables-feat-drive_shortfilms Intouchables (Feat Drive)]]'' is ''Film/{{Intouchables}}'' opening's scene, while the soundtrack has been replaced with ''Film/{{Drive}}'' opening theme.
* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd1LstoEm8U Trololol S.T.A.L.K.E.R.]]'' is a gameplay footage of ''VideoGame/{{STALKER}}: Shadow of Chernobyl'' (the Agroprom area) edited to sound like the famous [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2bKLqUKb9w Trololol Song]] was among the Zone's anomalies.
[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
* Similarly to the ''LEGO'' animated movie, ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' ''[[Recap/SouthParkImaginationland Imaginationland]]'' trilogy uses this as a part of its premise. Since the story is set in an alternate dimension created from the imagination of humanity, most of the supporting characters are already existing fictional characters. The rulers of Imaginationland are the Council of Nine, which members are [[Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia Aslan the Lion]], [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Gandalf the Grey]], [[Film/TheWizardOfOz Glinda the Good Witch]], {{Jesus}}, [[Franchise/StarWars Luke Skywalker]], [[Franchise/TheMatrix Morpheus]], ComicStrip/{{Popeye}}, Franchise/WonderWoman, and [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Zeus]]. The Evil side includes, among others, [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]], [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Ganondorf]], the ghosts from ''VideoGame/{{PacMan}}'', ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}, etc. A more exhaustive list of ''Imaginationland'' characters can be found [[http://southpark.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Characters_from_Imaginationland here]].
* The Emmy Awards committee produced ''WesternAnimation/CartoonAllStarsToTheRescue'', and had it simulcast on all three networks on Saturday 21 April 1990. The well-intentioned but hopelessly hamfisted effort to discourage drug abuse roped in characters from Creator/{{Disney}}, Creator/WarnerBros, Creator/DiCEntertainment, Creator/JimHenson, Series/{{ALF}}... few studios were spared, resulting in a WhatWereYouThinking hodgepodge production.
* The ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' episode "Say Uncle" is a crossover with ''WesternAnimation/UncleGrandpa'', which is DenserAndWackier than ''Steven Universe''. The episode concludes with a declaration that this is a FakeCrossover.
* ''WesternAnimation/BambiMeetsGodzilla''. ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.
* Scully and Mulder of ''Series/TheXFiles'' appear on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' when Homer reports seeing an alien.
* Surprisingly averted with ''WesternAnimation/FredAndBarneyMeetTheThing'', an hour long cartoon block in 1979. Creator/HannaBarbera's Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble never meet Creator/MarvelComics' The Thing from ''ComicBooks/FantasticFour''. The show paired a half hour of ''WesternAnimation/TheNewFredAndBarneyShow'' with another half hour of Ben Grimm, who could use his "Thing Ring" to transform from normal human to living rock being and back, contradictory to Marvel canon. Obviously, the show's title is a complete misnomer.
[[AC:InUniverse Examples]]
* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Inconnus Les Inconnus]] use this trope at a point in the skit "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqdk0k_U8Zg Les Escarres]]"[[note]]literally "the bedsore", it's actually a pun about [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAward the Oscars]] and their French equivalent the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A9sar_Award César Awards]][[/note]]. One of the speeches given during the ceremony is spoken by a fake Japanese moviemaker, saying that his company has future movie projects with titles like ''Return of [[Literature/LesMiserables Jean Valjean]] and [[Series/ChoudenshiBioman Bioman]]'', and ''Theatre/CyranoDeBergerac Versus Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles''.
* ''Website/{{Cracked}}'' sometimes publishes articles about unlikely crossovers which actually have been made:
** [[http://www.cracked.com/article_18785_6-comic-book-crossovers-you-wont-believe-actually-happened.html 6 Comic Book Crossovers You Won't Believe Actually Happened]] is focused on official (i.e. non fan-made) crossovers whiche are: Franchise/{{Batman}}[=/=]Franchise/SherlockHolmes, ComicBook/ThePunisher[=/=]Music/{{Eminem}}, {{Jesus}} [[CrossoverCosmology Versus]] [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Zeus]], ''Franchise/XMen''[=/=]''Franchise/StarTrek'', Franchise/SpiderMan and Comicbook/IronMan[=/=]''Series/GuidingLight'', and Franchise/{{Superman}}[=/=]''Absolutely Anything'' (the article refers to crossovers with ''Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse'' or ''the Quik Mascot'', of all things).
** [[http://www.cracked.com/article_20113_5-insane-pop-culture-crossovers-that-almost-happened.html 5 Insane Pop Culture Crossovers That Almost Happened]] is a WhatCouldHaveBeen variant of the previous one, since it focused on official crossover projects which eventually didn't happen: Comicbook/GhostRider[=/=]WesternAnimation/CasperTheFriendlyGhost, Franchise/{{Rocky}} Balboa[=/=]''Franchise/GIJoe'', ''Series/QuantumLeap''[=/=]''Series/MagnumPI'', and [[Film/JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack Jay and Silent Bob]]''[=/=]''Franchise/{{Hellraiser}}'' [[note]]the fifth one isn't an actual crossover but the aborted concept of the third Film/{{Jaws}} movie initially supposed to be a Franchise/NationalLampoon film[[/note]].
** And then, there are several articles [[http://www.cracked.com/article_19992_5-fan-fiction-sex-scenes-you-wont-believe-exist.html about surreal]] [[http://www.cracked.com/article_20471_the-5-most-horrific-sex-scenes-in-fan-fiction-history.html sex scenes]] [[http://www.cracked.com/article_16554_the-5-most-baffling-sex-scenes-in-history-fanfiction.html taken from]] [[http://www.cracked.com/article_21189_the-6-most-horrifying-sex-scenes-in-fan-fiction-pt.-4.html fanfics]] (not necessarily all involving crossovers, though they often do). [[http://www.cracked.com/article_19992_5-fan-fiction-sex-scenes-you-wont-believe-exist.html Including one]] (n°5) about [[Franchise/HarryPotter Severus Snape]] having sex with the ''Series/{{Teletubbies}}''.
