* [[Show Within a Show]] example- ''[[CSI]]'', "Two and a Half Dead".
* At least one episode of ''[[Desperate Housewives]]'', with [[Ms. Fanservice|Edie]] walking past a construction site.

All cheeky grins, winking, posing to optimally display one's posterior in jeans, and a lot of them [[Stargate Atlantis|disturbingly resembling John Sheppard.]]
