* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Dana Snyder, the voice of The Alchemist, is also the voice of Master Shake on ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Animation)|Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'' which he also created.
** The creators mentioned (when on a panel for a [[Dragon Con]]) that they asked Snyder to sound ''more'' like Master Shake when voicing the Alchemist than he had originally done.
*** They also intentionally invoked this trope with [[Batman: theThe Animated Series|Kevin Conroy]] in season four, complete with [[Actor Allusion]].
{{quote| '''Doc Hammer''': "That was Batman. Batman's readin' crap that we wrote."<br />
'''Jackson Publick''': "Yeah... don't be afraid to sound more like Batman!" }}
** General Treister is voiced by Toby Huss, who also voiced Kahn and Cotton Hill in ''[[King of the Hill]]''. Cotton and Treister sound almost exactly alike, and both being crackpot southern military men, it makes sense.
** [[Stephen Colbert]] as Prof. Impossible. At first, anyways.
** Orpheus' Master sounds suspiciously like Jon Benjamin, aka [[Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist|Benjamin Katz]] or [[Home Movies|Coach McGuirk]].
*** That's because he's voiced by [[Archer|Sterling Archer.]]
** Brock is Joe Swanson from ''[[Family Guy]]'', aka [[Patrick Warburton]]. He's also [[The Emperor's New Groove (Disney)|Kronk]], making the role [[Hilarious in Hindsight]], because he was the big sidekick guy to a skinny, inept mad scientist there, too.
** Fans of ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003 (Animation)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003]]'' can recognize Dean Venture's voice as [[Michael Sinterniklaas]], who plays Leonardo. Newcomers to the series will probably say "Hey, it's Nnoitra from ''[[Bleach]]''!"
** "Self Medication," guest-starring [[John Hodgman]], [[Seth Green]], [[Patton Oswalt]], and [[Metalocalypse|Brendon]] [[Home Movies|Small]], is basically "[[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: The Episode."
** [[Nathan Fillion]] as Brown Widow.
** Retroactively subverted in "Ghosts of the Sargasso". One of the pirates is a spit for Seasick Steve, baseball cap included, but he barely talks, if at all (and of course the voice actor wouldn't be Seasick Steve).
** James Urbaniak shows up in the [[Fallout: New Vegas]] DLC "Old World Blues" as 0, and pretty much every line he speaks is a glorious, unapologetic [[Actor Allusion]] to Dr. Rusty Venture, to the point where he even says certain phrases Rusty's said in the show, the exact same way he said them, in the exact same voice. He's even the robotics expert in the group of [[Mad Scientist|Mad Scientists]], he's grumpy, untrusting, and employs a lot of [[Buffy-Speak]]. He also [[Blatant Lies|totally broke a bunch of robots on purpose]].
* [[One of Us]]: In the commentary for "The Diving Bell vs. the Butterglider", Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick mention several trope names before specifically stating that they read [[TV Tropes]].
* [[Shrug of God]]: After an episode was made that strongly implied if not stated outright who the boys' mother was, the creators said that they're still not sure themselves whether or not she is, as they don't plan too far ahead with episodes and it just sort of happened.
