9* ''MythologyGag/DeathBattle''
10* ''MythologyGag/EmesisBlue''
11* ''MythologyGag/RedVsBlue''
12[[/index]]
13----
14* Four and X, the hosts of ''WebAnimation/BattleForBFDI''[[note]]and by extension Two, the host of ''WebAnimation/BattleForDreamIslandThePowerOfTwo''[[/note]], are taken from "WebAnimation/XFindsOutHisValue", an old educational animation created by Cary and Michael Huang before they became known for creating BFDI. These characters have since become the mascots for the jacknjellify channel, as seen during subscriber MilestoneCelebration videos.
15* ''WebAnimation/BonusStage'' often made references to its predecessor series, ''WebAnimation/HighScore'', especially in earlier episodes. In one episode, Phil makes such a reference to an evil robot ex-girlfriend. Joel responds by laughing and then gruffly saying that they don't reference ''High Score'' anymore.
16* In ''The Brothers Mario'' by The Game Station, has the eponymous characters knock over an armored truck with a million coins. They mention how it's enough to buy a new life. It's enough to buy [[LawOfOneHundred 10'000 new lives]].
17* ''Series/TheCryOfMann'': One caller tried telling Jack that he had [[Film/ThisHouseHasPeopleInIt Lynks Disease]], much to Jack's confusion.
18* ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' is loaded with gags referencing the source material.
19** Krillin's nickname for Dende "Little Green" is a reference to the infamous Big Green dub, named so for inexplicably calling Piccolo "Big Green".
20*** Similarly, Piccolo's line "Everyone of Gohan's race can become a giant gorilla!" also comes from the "Big Green" Dub. More specifically, it was one of Turles' lines.
21** In Cooler's Revenge, Krillin doesn't want to see Korin because last time he saw him, he kept calling him "Whiskers the Wonder Cat". A reference to the obscure Harmony Gold dub of the three Dragon Ball movies and everyone having name changes.
22** In a reference to TFS' past work during Dead Zone, when Ginger dies he says "What a douchebag". Referencing their old Neighborhood Cluck dub where he was named Douchebag. Similarly, Krillin repeatedly shouts "crap" to the theme of ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'' while dodging falling debris, has his line during that scene in the original version was "this is why I hate ''Tetris''.
23** On the subject of the Neighborhood Cluck abridged version, the Bio Warriors are revealed to have formerly gone by the names "Zap-Zap", "Burr", and "Blub-Blub", which is what Kochin called them after forgetting their Japanese names.
24* A lot of the jokes and lines of dialogue in ''WebVideo/DrJekyllAndMrHydeTheGameTheMovie'' are all based off of [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd the Nerd's]] gripes about [[VideoGame/DrJekyllAndMrHydeNES the original game]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6M_4Yqk65f8 both]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjXn5qiM8Zw times]] he reviewed it.
25* The Void is a recurring focus in ''WebVideo/EpicSMP'', with Ted Nivison in particular taking an interest in it. This is a holdover from his character on [[spoiler:''WebVideo/SMPLive'', who ran a dedicated cult to the Void and even sacrificed his soul to it at the end of the server]].
26* ''Toys/EverAfterHigh'' is chock full of gags inspired by the source materials.
27* ''WebAnimation/GEOWeasel'' makes references to its past as a comic, particularly as a {{sprite comic}}.
28* ''WebVideo/{{Highcraft}}'':
29** "DROPPER HIGHCRAFT" features a callback to Minecraft Monday, a tournament that cscoop and Traves used to compete in back in 2019. A clip from Minecraft Monday where Cooper is playing Dropper is played.
30** In "2b2stoned", the phrase "FEATHER, INK SAC AND A BOOK!", which comes from an older video where [=RoastedJames=] says the phrase in a funny tone.
31* ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'' has some examples of one fan work referencing another:
32** The Emperor mentions a card-games-and-chess parties the top {{Magnificent Bastard}}s of the 'verse[[note]]Namely, him, the Deceiver, Tzeentch, Cegorach and Creed[[/note]] have in the Webway. This is a joke from [[Website/FourChan /tg/]].
33** At one point, Torquemada Coteaz from fan-film ''Film/TheLordInquisitor'' shows up, leds a hand to the antagonist and then returns to finish his film.
34** In the second Q&A, one of the letters is from the Millennial, a character from fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11227059/1/Defrosted-A-40K-Story Defrosted]]''.
35* ''WebVideo/JojosBizarreAdventureAbridged'' contains a plethora of in-jokes from [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure its source material]].
36* ''WebAnimation/LuckyDayForever'' has some visible influence from Alek's other animations, like the robots from "Smile", the strange attitude of "Polsupah", and 514's facial structure which is comparable to the poet from "Hanged Man's Elegy".
37* Back when Website/TheOnion was a print magazine, it would have a page with a "continuation" of a non-existent article that simply repeats the sentence "Passersby were amazed by the unusually large amounts of blood." This sentence would make it into [[https://local.theonion.com/blood-blood-everywhere-1819569736 an actual article]] in 2008.
38* LetsPlay/PartyCrashers: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsocC-WubGQ There's no way Mario Party can be any more TOXIC...]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lO2q5IVnKKQ The most TRAGIC ending in a Mario Party game...]]", Luigi can be seen falling from a failed Up Special from ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' while delivering his scream from the ''WesternAnimation/SuperMarioWorld'' cartoon series, referencing a moment that occurred in Brent's second King K. Rool ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aPIvqFZPG4 montage]].
39* ''WebVideo/PokemonLegendsNeoGhetsis'': The artwork of a young Auburn has his pose taken from Red's official art from ''VideoGame/PokemonFireRedAndLeafGreen''. Fitting, as Auburn is Red's grandson.
40* From ''WebVideo/ScottTheWoz'':
41** The end of "Instruction Manuals" has Scott attempting to follow a manual for a game titled "You Should Put Your Fork in the Microwave: The Video Game". A good joke on its own, but it's also a reference to one of Scott's older videos, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecVx9TJYI1w "Cookin' Hard"]].
42** The revelation of Wendy's Employee having a brother named Target Employee calls back to Scott having first met Wendy's Employee at a Target store in "A Very Madden 08 Christmas".
43* ''Music/SiIvaGunner'', a channel made to pass off edited audios, remixes and arrangements of videogames songs as the real thing to unsuspecting viewers, does this with the channel it's based on ([=GilvaSunner=]). This happens on aspects from titling and thumbnails to even errors made in the original channel. For example, in [=GilvaSunner's=] rip of Mega Mushroom from New Super Mario Bros, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwC8IarSch0 a voice clip from Luigi was left at the start by mistake]]. On [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuuZWHzOSQ0 this]] edit by [=SiIvaGunner=], he replicates said error as a gag.
44* ''WebVideo/SlimecicleCinematicUniverse'': While whether this is intentional or not is yet to be seen, "We Spent 100 Days in a Hardcore Minecraft Apocalypse" isn't the first time [[spoiler:a character Wilbur Soot plays ends up [[WebVideo/DreamSMP dying from suicide by blowing himself up (or at least, attempting to do so)]]]].
45* ''WebVideo/SMPEarth'': [=CaptainSparklez=] founds the Kingdom of Jordan, later renamed Fallen Kingdom[[note]]after his song[[/note]], with the capital called "Creeper, Amman"[[note]]after his song "Revenge"[[/note]].
46* In the October 2, 2008 [[Franchise/StarWars HoloNet News broadcast]], when discussing the Separatists' [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars new super weapon]], there was mention of how big a ship had to be to mount an ion cannon capable of wiping out entire task forces. The minimal values that the commentators suggest were 8, 12, and 17... which happen to be the different lengths Super Star Destroyers have had in various official media.
47* ''WebVideo/ThereWillBeBrawl'' is chock full of Mythology Gags from all over the Creator/{{Nintendo}} universe.
48* ''[[WebVideo/{{TMK}} TMK's]]'' name and vague concept (a disease gained by playing Kirby Super Star) is a reference to a bizarre ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar'' commercial [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XnGBggXXVs about a kid that contracts T.M.K.]] (which stands for Too Much Kirby), which causes the infected to turn pink and swell up like a balloon, but has [[DarkerAndEdgier decidedly worse effects in this series' universe.]]
49* ''WebVideo/VaguelyRecallingJoJo'':
50** Before the recap of the 2nd part of the Rubber Soul mini-arc, Rudolf von Stroheim entered the Guile Look-a-Like contest and wins First Place, which is a reference to Guile being based on Stroheim.
51** Sort of. Jotaro mistaking [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Benimaru Nikaido]] for Polnareff is a reference to how Benimaru was explicitly based off of Polnareff (to the point that some of SNK's development team sometimes still call him Polnareff.)
52* ''WebVideo/WaldoTheMovie'': When the various agents are meeting to discuss what they know about Waldo and how to take him down, the information about him displayed on the wall includes his picture from one of the ''Literature/WheresWaldo'' books instead of an image of the actor.
53* ''Series/TheWeather'': One caller, playing a miniature statue on a windowsill, noted that [[Film/ThisHouseHasPeopleInIt everyone on the lawn was face-down]], before getting on with the skit.
