{{trope}}
The reuse of characters or items from a previous work in [[Easter Egg]] [[
If it's something the actor did rather than the production team, it's an [[Actor Allusion]]. If the work in question is an unreleased earlier version of the same work, it's a [[Development Gag]].
Line 9:
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' is full of [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] to [[Ken Akamatsu]]'s previous series, ''[[Love Hina]]''. Outside the numerous [[Expy
** Akamatsu also confirmed that Nitta-sensei is the same Nitta-sensei from his first series, [[A.I. Love You]]. Not to mention that Negima's [[Big Bad]] Fate Averruncus is a rather obvious expy of Program Number 0.
== [[Film]] ==
* George Lucas films reuse the number 1138, after his debut feature, ''[[THX 1138]]'' (which was itself derived from his phone number when he made the original student film version).
** It's also used to access [[Easter Egg
** This is also a common number to be used as an [[Homage]] (sometimes in credit to [[Industrial Light and Magic]] and the other Lucas production companies):
*** [[Matt Damon]] can be seen entering the last few digits of these numbers for the elevator access code in ''[[Ocean's Eleven]]''.
Line 23:
** And, of course, [[Jay and Silent Bob]].
* The [[Lost|DHARMA Initiative]] logo appears at the beginning of [[J.J. Abrams]]' ''[[Cloverfield]]''.
** The Hanso Foundation, DHARMA's financial backer, is mentioned in the credits of Abrams' ''[[Mission: Impossible]] III''.
** A DHARMA logo is also hidden in Abrams' 2009 ''Star Trek'' reboot.
** An Oceanic Airlines advertisement appears in ''[[Fringe]]'', another show by JJ Abrams.

== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* Any appearance of [[John Munch]].
* In ''[[Community]]'' episode [[Community/Recap/S1
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Telltale's first game, ''Telltale Texas Hold'Em'' featured a mustached character named "Boris Krinkle", in which one possible line of dialogue has the character of Grandma telling him that he looks more like a 'Leonard Steakcharmer'." Naturally, when you first meet Leonard, sans mustache, in Telltale's [[Sam and Max]] episode ''The Mole, The Mob, and The Meatball'', you get the option to say he looks more like a Boris Krinkle.
* [[Hideo Kojima]] has a habit of inserting references to his previous works in his newer works, beginning with ''[[Snatcher]]'', which included references to ''[[Metal Gear
* Before creating [[Kingdom of Loathing]], Team Asymmetric created a game called Krakrox the Barbarian. At least one item from that game appears in Kol, the Ring of Half-Assed Regeneration.
** And there's also [http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Empty_agua_de_vida_bottle an item] that lets you play ''as'' Krakrox for a few adventures.
** And now Krakrox's Loincloth, "originally owned by the famous barbarian adventurer Krakrox," is part of the Seal Clubber's Legendary Regalia.
* The arcade version of ''[[Double Dragon]]'' features the red sports car from Data East's FMV game ''Road Blaster'' (a.k.a. ''Road Avenger'') inside Billy and Jimmy's garage, as well as a billboard advertising ''[[Kunio

Line 58:
** The lamp from Pixar's (canonically) "first" short, ''Luxo Jr.'' crushes the ''i'' in "Pixar" in the studio's standard [[Vanity Plate]].
** The ball from the same short likewise appears in pretty much every movie they ever make.
** Similarly, the Pizza Planet delivery van in every film since ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]''.
** The old man Geri from "Geri's Game" reappears as a toy repair man in ''[[Toy Story 2]]''.
* In ''[[The Simpsons]]'', characters from Matt Groening's ''[[Life in Hell]]'' comic strip (usually Bongo) sometimes appear as stuffed toys.
