It is quite common for characters within one work of fiction to reference another. If this show takes place in our Universe then it is to be expected that the characters would know about any other show that exists in the real world. The only real show that by default doesn't exist within a story is the one you're watching right now (and there are some exceptions to even this). On the other hand, there is no reason why the author is required to stick to real media. Sometimes, an author will make references to a work that was never written in the real world, even if it's completely real for their characters. Some other times, the author will use a non-existent book to mock something. Or use it as a Take That! for a film, or just as a parody. Characters in series may listen to platinum albums that were never recorded, watch movies never filmed, or play videogames never programmed. This is not necessarily just a throwaway reference either; sometimes the whole point of the main work is based upon this Fictional Media, for example a review of a non-existent book, or a trailer for a film that no one had any intention to make. Common types of Fictional Media include: See also: Fictional Document Different World, Different Movies Fictional Board Game Cloneopoly Fictional Painting Fictional Social Network Fictional Video Game Game Within a Game My Little Panzer Niche Network Real Trailer, Fake Movie Ridiculous Future Sequelisation Show Within a Show (arguably the Super-Trope) |
