Line 1: {{trope}} The reuse of characters or items from a previous work in [[Easter Egg]] [[~~Cameo\|cameos~~cameo]]s in a newer one (similar to a fictional [[Production Posse]] or metafictional [[Continuity Cameo]]). In some cases, this lays down the basis of a [[The Verse\|Verse]]. 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~~\|Expys~~]]s, Tama the turtle has a cameo, the famous [[Megaton Punch\|"Naru Punch"]] makes a reappearance, and one of Motoko's sword techniques sees some use in ''Negima''. In addition, several characters from [[Love Hina]] make reappearances in ''Negima''. The creator also [[Word of God\|confirmed]] that the hotel at which the characters stay in (one of) Negima's [[Beach Episode~~\|Beach Episodes~~]]s is the same one where Naru and Keitaro stayed. ** 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 (Film)\|~~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~~\|Easter Eggs~~]]s on the ''[[Star Wars]]'' [[DVD~~\|DVDs~~]]s (push the buttons on your remote from the menu where you highlight the "THX" calibration logo). 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. Line 38: == [[Live-Action TV]] == * Any appearance of [[John Munch]]. * In ''[[Community]]'' episode [[Community/Recap/S1 /E13 Investigative Journalism\|Investigative Journalism]] Jack Black played a character named "Buddy Austen", who shares a last name with Jack Austen, the main character in the TV pilot [[Heat Vision and Jack]] (created by Dan Harmon) also played by Jack Black. Also, {{spoiler\|Owen Wilson, who voiced Heat Vision}}, made a cameo appearance in the same episode. == [[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 ~~1987~~(video game)\|Metal Gear]]'' (such as Gillian's robotic companion modeled after the Metal Gear mecha), and then with ''[[Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake]]'' (which referenced the Snatcher Project and canonized Dr. Pettrovich's surname as "Madnar"), ''[[Policenauts]]'' (which included plenty of ''Metal Gear'' and ''Snatcher'' references), and the ''[[Tokimeki Memorial]] Drama Series'' (which included several ''Policenauts'' and ''Metal Gear Solid'' references). The most popular example is the [[Transplant]] of Meryl Silverburgh, originally a ''Policenauts'' character, into ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]''. * 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 -Kun\|Nekketsu Koha Kunio-kun]]'' (the Japanese version of ''Renegade'') just before the first boss battle. Both were games previously directed by Yoshihisa Kishimoto, the director of ''Double Dragon''. In the arcade version of ''Double Dragon II'', the helicopter from ''Cobra Command'' (Kishimoto's other FMV game he did for Data East) appears in the garage at the beginning as well. == [[Web Comics]] == Line 52: == [[Web Original]] == * Anders Sandberg, one of the big contributors to [[~~Orions~~Orion's Arm]] has worked on several rpgs in the past, including [[Big Ideas Grand Vision]]. Every human colony from this game has been transplanted into [[~~Orions~~Orion's Arm]], after being suitably altered to fit in with the new setting. == [[Western Animation]] == 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. Line 68: [[Category:Metafiction Demanded This Index]] [[Category:In Joke]] [[Category:~~Production Throwback~~{{PAGENAME}}]]
