Line 16:
*** The characters from ''[[White Collar]]'' have started appearing in these as well - they have done crossover commercials with ''Psych'', [[WWE Raw]] (the Big Show again) and ''[[Burn Notice]]''.
*** Also, in celebration of ''Monk'''s final season, USA released a new round of ads where the characters from all of its currently airing original shows (''[[Burn Notice]]'', ''[[Psych]]'', ''[[In Plain Sight]]'', ''[[Royal Pains]]'', ''[[WWE Raw]]'', ''[[Law and Order: Criminal Intent]]'') give their opinions and recount their experiences with the titular detective.
** The commercials for the second ''[[Hellboy (film)|Hellboy]]'' movie did the same thing, with [[Fan Nickname|Big RedRED (film)]] meeting up with James Lipton, ''[[Chuck]]'', appearing on [[Ghost Hunters]] and [[American Gladiators]] and doing a "The More You Know" PSA.
** In 2009, ABC started a new ad campaign called the "ABC House" in which characters from various ABC shows live together under one roof.
*** One such ad seemed designed to toy with ''[[Lost]]'' fans: Dominic Monaghan, who played Charlie {{spoiler|until he died}}, appears in one of the ads, even though he wasn't on an ABC show at the time. His {{spoiler|death}} is even mentioned in the ad. Fans went wild wondering if the ad confirmed he was coming back to ''Lost''. A few weeks later, he was revealed to be joining the cast of ''Flash Forward'', a new ABC show...{{spoiler|although he did appear throughout the final season}}.
Line 57:
* "Beans", a three-part crossover between (arguably) the three most popular ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]. Melée/Brawl'' machinimas on [[YouTube]].
* [[Greg Weisman]] (Creator of both ''[[Gargoyles]]'' and ''[[The Spectacular Spider-Man]]'') staged a radio play for a con that was a crossover between his two shows. Naturally, it falls under this trope.
* ''[[Avenue Q]]'' and ''[[Fiddler Onon the Roof]]'' had a hilarious one of these for the 2008 Easter Bonnet competition in which everyone was Jewish and lived on "Avenue Jew", obviously it didn't affect the plotline of either show.
* The events of "Mesal Gear Solid: Snake Escape" and "Snake vs. Monkey" will unlikely be referenced in any future ''[[Metal Gear]]'' or ''[[Ape Escape]]'' game.
* Basically any game in [[Capcom]]'s ''[[Capcom vs. Whatever|Vs series]]'' (i.e: ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom]]'', ''[[SNK vs. Capcom]]'', ''[[TatsunokovsTatsunoko vs. Capcom]]'').
* There were a few ''[[X-Men]]'' + ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Star Trek the Next Generation]]'' comic crossovers, which is [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] now that the movies are out.
** And NOW there's an upcoming [[Ghostbusters]], [[Star Trek]], [[Transformers]] and [[G.I. Joe]] comic with [[Everything Is Deader With Zombies|Zombies]] crossover event [[Serial Escalation|coming up]]!
