Line 341:
* ''[[Cars 2]]'' has ''The Mel Dorado Show'', which is a talk show hosted by a brown Cadillac who for some reason wears glasses over his windshield (eyes) and ''Tire Talky'', a Japanese talk show sponsored by a purple truck who constantly carries a giant Jumbotron on his trailer (the episode shown on the truck's screen is one where Francesco Bernoulli is shown demonstrating his soccer skills in front of the show's host (a Scion XB)).
* In ''[[Idiocracy]]'', the idiotic populace of 2505 watches ''Ow, My Balls'', which is one [[Groin Attack]] after another. We see the unfortunate star of the show twice during the movie (other than in his show), and on both occasions, he suffers very painful "tributes" from fans who attempt to emulate the show.
* ''[[Home Alone]]'' has the gangster movies ''Angels with Filthy Souls'' and ''Angels with Even Filthier Souls''. Note that while the title parodies ''[[Angels with Dirty Faces]]'', the scene in the movie does not.
* ''Starcrossed'' is a spoof, [[No Fourth Wall]]-type [[Speculative Fiction]] series loosely based on ''[[Stargate Verse|Stargate]]'', in the independent movie ''[[A Dog's Breakfast]]'', written and directed by actor David Hewlett, who is better known for his role as Rodney McKay in ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' and ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]''. Hewlett intends to turn ''Starcrossed'' into a real web series.
* In ''[[Hairspray]]'', Tracy and Penny are huge fans of the Corny Collins Show, a regional American Bandstand-type show. This overlaps with Type 1 when Tracy gets a part on the show and supports Corny's dreams of integrating the show(instead of only permitting black performers to appear on "Negro Day").
