* ''[[Project A-ko]]'' featured a blink-and-you'll-miss-it gag at the end of the original OAV, where A-Ko's mother is seen sewing something that looked suspiciously like [[Superman]]'s costume. The gag (that A-Ko is Superman and [[Wonder Woman]]'s daughter) is made far more explicit in the [[Antarctic Press]] adaptation, where her parents refer to each other as "Clark" and "Diana." ▼
** An even quicker reference suggests that [[Gadgeteer Genius]] antagonist B-Ko is [[Iron Man|Tony Stark]]'s daughter.

* Didn't happen at the end, but the entire point for a ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]''/''[[X-Men]]'' crossover seemed to revolve around Nurse Chapel asking for Dr. McCoy, to which both Bones and Beast turn and say "Yes?", then react with mutual surprise.

* In ''[https://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-26659/phouka+Fun+Size+Is+An+Oxymoron.htm Fun Size Is An Oxymoron]'' by "phouka" (part of a much larger ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''-based [[Mega Crossover]] fic series), every child or group of children who come Trick-or-Treating during the story are a crossover -- but the punchline is Xander and [[Peanuts|Linus]] witnessing the Great Pumpkin visiting a pumpkin patch planted and tended by Willow.

* An episode of ''[[Naruto the Abridged Series]]'' ended with the Hokage's funeral, and one of the character telling Konohamaru that he's in a better place. {{spoiler|We then see him crash-landing in front of [[Dragon Ball Abridged|King Yemma]].}}▼

** At the end of ''[[My Favorite Brunette]]'', Hope's character is given a last-minute reprieve from execution; Crosby plays the very disappointed prison guard who was going to throw the switch on the electric chair.▼

* The ''[[Seinfeld]]'' episode "The Keys" ends with Kramer appearing on ''[[Murphy Brown]]''.
* After the credits of one episode of ''[[Mr. Show]]'', a comic is seen talking to ''[[Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist|Dr. Katz]]''. Especially weird just because ''Mr. Show'' is live-action.

* In the final episode of ''[[Coach]]'', Hayden and Christine find that Larry, Darryl, and Darryl from ''[[Newhart]]'' have been watching their cabin after they left for Orlando. This also doubles as an in-joke, because both shows were created by Barry Kemp.

* The ending of the ''[[Sealab 2021]]'' episode "Murphy Murph and the Feng Shui Bunch" revealed that the events of the episode were part of a video game being played by Meatwad and Master Shake of ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]''. ("You hang windchimes for an hour, and then you fight? I don't get it.") The "Bebop Cola" episode ends to reveal the entire cartoon was a proposed cola commercial being pitched to the company execs (one played by Murphy's voice actor, the late Harry Goz) by a pair of live-action salesmen.

** Much later, in the fourth season, the main plot is a parody of ''[[Poltergeist (1982 film)|Poltergeist]]'' has Peter replicating the scene where he pulls the skin off his face while looking in the mirror, but when it all comes off, he has turned into [[King of the Hill|Hank Hill]]:
{{quote|'''Peter/Hank''': Hah Hah. Propane.}}

*** Then in "Lois Kills Stewie" (which was just a [[All Just a Dream|simulation]]) Stewie breaks into the CIA and is confronted by Bullock and Stan who Stewie mistakenly calls "Joe", lampshading how Stan is mostly [[Expy|an unparalyzed and neurotic version of Joe Swanson.]]
** During a ''[[Police Squad!]]'' spoof you get a [[Jaws First Person Perspective]] of Stewie running down [[The Simpsons (animation)|Homer Simpson]] as he parks in the garage.
{{quote|'''Peter (looks down at Homer):''' Who the hell is that?}}
*** There's also an episode that has a miniature Marge appear at the bottom of the screen and at first, it seems like one of Fox's "bug" advertisements... until a miniature Quagmire attempts to rape her.
** In the episode "The Splendid Source", Peter and his friends are going around the country questioning people about where they heard a particular joke. At one point we see them asking Bender from ''[[Futurama]]''. They even mention that he's from ''Futurama''.
* [[The Simpsons (animation)|Homer Simpson]] appeared at the end of one episode of ''[[Duckman]]''.
* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' itself has several examples:

** In a Treehouse of Horror episode, Homer makes multiple clones of himself. Amongst the clones, Peter Griffin from ''[[Family Guy]]'' can be seen.
*** Which is also a delicious [[Take That]].

** In one "Treehouse of Horror" wherein Homer travels through time, Kang and Kodos turn into Mr. Peabody and Sherman from ''[[Rocky and Bullwinkle]]'' [[Tempting Fate|after saying that]] the [[Puny Earthling]] [[Hypocritical Humor|was unprepared for the effects of time travel]]. Doubles as a [[Brick Joke]] because they were seen near the beginning of the short [[It's Been Done|correcting Homer saying he was the first non-Brazilian person to travel through time.]]▼
* One episode of ''[[Chowder]]'' has a character waiting for a blind date. In walks Sara Bellum from ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]''—but she's not his date.
