Sometimes fiction leans towards a rather lax interpretation of trademark issues. You may find characters who are not merely an imitation of characters from a popular show, film or comic, but literally are those characters. Somehow. You can blur their face a bit or simply not name them. Still, this trope is known enough that you can expect any work that featured these frequently will get modified a bit if the adaptation's sponsors are worried about copyright infringement. On the other hand, if said cameo characters are famous enough, you're liable to get away with a more overt reference. Often used as part of a Take That!, but it can also be a friendly Shout-Out. If a real person is being imitated, that's No Celebrities Were Harmed. Compare Writing Around Trademarks, Captain Ersatz, and Expy Coexistence, where Expies and the characters that they are based on live in the same world/canon. See also Bland-Name Product, which is the same thing for real-world products rather than fictional characters. |

One episode of Megas XLR featured a villain who was a dead ringer for Captain Harlock. May not exactly fit this trope, but a Motoko Kusanagi-lookalike can be spotted in one episode In general, Megas is swimming in lawyer-friendly-cameos. Even the titular 'bot has one - before having it replaced, his head looks exactly like Soundwave's. And then you have the fact that the second time you see Mag Nanimous, his robot has a shotgun and a chainsaw for arms and dresses like Elvis. (Of course, considering who VOICED that particular villain, it's not all that surprising.) |

Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) had tons of theses, especially in its early days. This even continued on when Knuckles got his own short-lived series. This was actually done by turning them into the various races that live on Mobius or one of Robotnik's robots. Amongst more recognizable ones were a recurring set of Mobians that resembled Mihoshi, Ayeka and Sasami of Tenchi Muyo!, the infamous Sally Moon, Chibi Rose and◊ Tuxedo Knux◊, Sonicaman, Spawnmower, a group of robots resembling Crow T. Robot, Tom Servo, Cambot and Robby the Robot (fourth image from the top here), Linkara, and a Goomba in a panel◊ of the crossover Sonic the Hedgehog/Mega Man: Worlds Collide. This has been continued into Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW), such as with a background character who clearly resembles Flick. | |

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End has a lot of fun implying as hard as it can that the twelfth founder of the pirate colony of Libertalia, whose name has been mostly lost to time, was actually Monkey Island protagonist Guybrush Threepwood. He's portrayed as looking almost exactly like Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge-era Guybrush, had a pirate flag with a monkey on it, and Nate even drops a "That's the second biggest X I've ever seen!" joke later into the game. (Officially, the man is named "Guy Wood", but this name only appears in supplementary material.) | |

Miami Guns has several of these, such as Bruce Tsuji, the "Die Hard detective" from one episode. The most significant example in the series is the father of "heroine" Yao Sakurakoji — who is a bleached-blonde doppleganger of Gendo Ikari, right down to the design of his office. (For some reason, he has a pet dog who's a parody of Muttley. Hey, why not?) | |

In one issue of X-Man, there's cameos of Ken, Chun-Li and Guile in the background, watching Nate's power demonstration. How appropriate. In a backup story in an issue of X-Men Classics (earlier issues has a secondary story featuring "before they were X-Men" or "between the issues" tales), a story is recounted of an inadvertent meeting between Logan (while he was a roughneck on the run from Weapon X) and Banshee (while he was just a humble Interpol agent). Banshee is hot on the trail of three jewel thieves, one of whom is named Arsene, and who look like the Lupin Gang with a few cosmetic alterations. Guess who that makes Banshee, of course... Chris Claremont has put Lawyer-Friendly Cameos of anime in quite a few of his stories. Both the Dirty Pair and Speed Racer, for instance show up in an issue of Excalibur, and yes, the lawyer-friendly Dirty Pair are as destructive as the genuine article. The Ghostbusters made a rather extensive appearance during the Inferno (1988) storyline during Claremont's run of Uncanny X-Men, then appeared again when Jubilee was introduced. One notable change is that the Ghostbusters' secretary, Janine, was a member of the group. Inferno also has other cameos, including a scene◊ in one of the X-Factor tie-ins where Iceman and Beast rescue Calvin and Hobbes from a possessed hot dog stand. |

Wild C.A.T.s (WildStorm) #8 features a brief appearance by a honeymooning Scott Summers and Jean Grey. Scott thinks Voodoo and Spartan might be mutants and wants to talk to them, but drops it when Jean insists he direct his attention, ahem, elsewhere. Wildstorm-universe comics did a lot of these, most of them at a Good-Guy Bar called Clark's. The owner is basically an older Superman, and the place is usually packed with heroes from other companies. |

Classic H-game Season of the Sakura features characters from Magic Knight Rayearth, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Tenchi Muyo!, Saint Tail, and Pia Carrot, but given how blatant the references were, this may simply be a Shout-Out (or an excuse to let fanboys pursue anime girls popular in the mid-90s, when the game was made). | |

Cromartie High School's Freddie was so obviously Freddie Mercury that the character couldn't be used in another adaptation for fear of lawyers. This was lampshaded with obscure references nearly every time Freddie appeared, and lampshaded most overtly with the brief appearance of another character, Mr. Mercury, who was noted by the other characters as looking exactly like Freddie (except for his clothes- although both Freddie's and Mr. Mercury were wearing exact copies of outfits worn by Freddie Mercury on stage) and who made a very loud emphasis on a number of dissimilarities between himself and Freddie (and, as a result, contrasting Freddie Mercury as well) It should also be noted that a number of other Queen references, such as many of the chapter titles, and literally hundreds of inside jokes and subtle references were present, making the manga a constant source of knowing grins from Queen fans everywhere. | |

Great Teacher Onizuka: At one point, Onizuka challenges an entire gang to arm wrestling and winds up beating look-alikes of Jason Voorhees (from Friday the 13th), Heihachi Mishima (from Tekken), and Giant Robo. Onizuka himself actually dresses as Doraemon and explicitly calls himself as such when forced to fight a gang with his hands stuck in bowling balls. At one point he shatters the bowling balls and draws a bunch of Cross-Popping Veins on himself, screaming about a woman named Yuria. Now, he calls himself Kenshiro and even draws Ken's seven scars. To top it all off, in the anime, he beats the gang with Ken's signature Spam Attack, the Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken. He also dressed up as Devilman (apropos of nothing, naturally) once, and made Tomoko wear a Cutey Honey outfit. The first chapter of Shonan 14 Days includes Onizuka painting Haruhi Suzumiya on the hood of Uchiyamada's car and threatening to write his name into a Death Note. |

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, while a very prominent holiday figure, hasn't appeared in many Christmas specials lately because he is a registered trademark of The Rudolph Company and using him would entitle The Rudolph Company to royalties.

Speaking of The Simpsons, Warner Bros. managed to drop Bart Simpson in episodes of both Animaniacs and the Tiny Toon Adventures Spring Break Special. The former case was in the episode "Hooray for North Hollywood Part 1," in which he appears, albeit only through his hair, during a song by Dot Warner referencing the Simpsons. The latter case is a bit more exposed; he appears as one of the animals caught by Elmyra Duff, but he doesn't speak and only appears for a few seconds. The Bart Simpson-like character also appears in the Tiny Toon Adventures episode "Weekday Afternoon Live" (a parody of Saturday Night Live) as the "show"'s host. | |

We Can Never Go Home #3 has a Costume-Test Montage where Maddie tries on a bunch of different outfits while trying to settle on a vigilante look. Most of the costumes she's wearing very clearly belong to trademarked heroines like Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Ms. Marvel, Tank Girl, and Zatanna, with only a few logo changes to hide this. Unsurprisingly, the scene was altered for trade. Surprisingly, most of the costumes that were omitted were simply replaced with other recognizable heroine costumes, like those of Storm, Psylocke, Batgirl, and the Invisible Woman. | |

Similarly, one of the main characters of Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow is Azari, the son of the Wakandan king Black Panther and Storm of the X-Men. Because the X-Men's film rights still belonged to Fox at the time, Storm is not referred to by name and is only shown from behind in a flashback, though her trademark white hair is still visible. The only other clues we get to her identity are a brief shot of a stylized lightning bolt logo (similar to the one Storm wore on her costume during the X-Men's Outback era) and the fact that Azari inherited her ability to generate electric blasts. | |

The show officially forbids contestants from referencing fictional characters, but several queens on the show have specialized in cosplay, like Phi Phi O'Hara and Dax ExclamationPoint. As a result, the show has gotten extremely permissive and basically lets the queens do everything but reference the character by name, such as the African-American Dax wearing a white wig and lightning motifs when she first entered the Werk Room (accompanied by thunder and lighting, no less). However, the show seems to have done away with this rule. In Season 16, during the second episode's metallic-themed runway, Jax (no relation) flat-out admitted that her look—army fatigues with metal arms—was based on her semi-namesake, Jax from Mortal Kombat.note "Semi" because her real name out of drag is Jackson or Jax for short, but the decision to use it as her drag name comes from the irony of having the same name as the character, a super-masculine Army major. | |

Played with in Wreck-It Ralph. The title character is basically a human version of Donkey Kong from the 8-bit days, but plenty of other video-game characters cameo as themselves — Bowser, Robotnik, M. Bison, Q*bert, Pac-Man ghosts, etc. Ralph even goes to an Animated Actors-style therapy group for depressed villains. Despite the real cameos, this trope is still played straight at points; one member of Bad Guys Anonymous is clearly based on Kano from Mortal Kombat, and in a clear Fatality reference, there's even a point during the meeting where he rips out Zombie's heart. Despite that, he's only called "Cyborg". Given the game had Australian authorities on the lookout for anyone importing the game, it's little surprise a Disney movie wouldn't go there. Sergeant Calhoun is essentially Commander Shepard were she played by Sue Sylvester. | |

The cards for the game are no better. In the card game plenty of cards are named/designed after other Konami products (Gradius games, a card explicitly named DDR, Goemon characters). However, in the anime they do one for another Shounen Jump series. The card Illegal Summon in GX features a character scene from Naruto of Naruto's Frog Summoning training. Sonic Duck is a member of One Piece's Supersonic Duck Squadron. There's a card in 5 D's that increases your D-Wheel's speed counter... featuring a thinly-veiled Eyeshield 21. | |

Duck Dodgers: The short "Attack of the Drones" was written by Eric Kaplan and directed by Rich Moore, both of whom worked regularly on Futurama; thus, Zoidberg is clearly visible at the council early on. Same scene had a Klingon and The Great Gazoo in the council. Not to mention the Langoliers. There's also Samurai Quack and the evil wizard Achoo. Even the Cheshire Cat was the alarm clock. In "Fins of War", when the chancellor snaps at King Great-White and calls him a sea-sponge, which cuts to a green sponge-like character in the room who resembles another sea-sponge. |

A Pyramid Magazine article about the possibilities of giving superheroes a connection to the Cthulhu Mythos had several examples, all Lawyer-Friendly Cameos of Marvel and DC characters. For instance there was a millionaire vigilante who had been possessed by the Great Race of Yith, and was reluctantly considering asking "the Martian" to scan his mind; a note from industrialist "L.L." to his research teams about how the alien fungus samples seem to have the ability to take human form, possibly with powers and abilities far beyond mortal men; a powerful telepath unable to prevent his mutant-detecting machine from broadcasting the chant of "Tekeli-li!" to his students; and a chant to Nyarlathotep which reveals his many names include the Surfer in Silver and the Blackened Racer. | |

"Crisis on Infinite Darkwings", the second arc of the Darkwing Duck comic book published by Boom Studios, has many of the alternate universe incarnations of Darkwing Duck being parodies of copyrighted characters, most of them only appearing in the background on so much as one panel. Aside from the ones that spoof characters Disney actually owns the rights to, there are also alternate Darkwings that copy Popeye the Sailor Man, Batman and Robin, Rorschach from Watchmen, Optimus Prime, the Fourth Doctor, and the Universal movie monsters, to name but a few. | |

Transport Tycoon featured real-life vehicles in the original British release. Just to give a few examples, there were aircraft from Boeing, McDonnell-Douglas, and Airbus; road vehicles from British Leyland, Ford, and Volvo; train locomotives designed by Stanier and Gresley, and later in the game the Eurostar and TGV. For the American release, these were changed to fake companies to avoid litigation. These were carried forward into Transport Tycoon Deluxe and OpenTTD. | |

The last episode of Camp Lazlo had a twist ending where it was revealed that Lumpus wasn't the real scoutmaster of Camp Kidney. The real scoutmaster isn't named, but he looks strikingly like a shaved and elderly version of Heffer Wolfe from Rocko's Modern Life, another cartoon by Joe Murray, from Nickelodeon, whereas Camp Lazlo aired on Cartoon Network. In case there was any doubt that he was a lawyer-friendly cameo of Heffer, the character even references the Running Gag of Heffer insisting that he is a "steer". The two characters are even voiced by the same actor, Tom Kenny. | |

The Legend of Black Heaven features a scene where Mulder and Scully from The X-Files are investigating a mysterious event at a cemetery in the U.S., where a grave has been dug up in an incredibly precise manner. Former band member Watanabe's body had been stolen by the enemy in order to create a clone to defeat the remaining member of the band. The two agents are unceremoniously pushed into the hole by Layla's sidekicks. There's also a Super Sentai parody, the Flying 5. |

Priest did the same thing in his Black Panther run, where Ross briefly ran into Woody while trapped in Mephisto's realm. Woody was only shown from behind and had no dialogue, but Ross even worked in an allusion to the then-recent financial trouble at Acclaim Entertainment. He then turned around and did the reverse when Quantum and Woody was temporarily Un-Canceled. An in-universe comic mirrored a recent battle between Black Panther and The Incredible Hulk by showing a fight between two heroes named "Dark Kitty" and "The Mass", complete with narration provided by Dark Kitty's pal "Russ" (who looks and acts suspiciously like Ross). | |

The Stargirl (2020) episode "Brainwave" features a photograph of the Seven Soldiers of Victory, including a pair of archers who are obviously supposed to be Green Arrow and his Kid Sidekick Speedy. However, neither character is named (tellingly they are the only ones to get this treatment; the Star-Spangled Kid, Vigilante, Shining Knight, Crimson Avenger and Wing are all explicitly identified by Pat), presumably to avoid confusion with Arrow, which had also aired on the CW and was still in recent memory. | |

The anime version of Hayate the Combat Butler is full of lawyer-friendly mentions, although the ones in dialogue are always bleeped out. Being a fangirl, Nagi rattles them off quickly enough that it's common to have half of her monologue melodically beeped out. This happens in the manga as well, although it's so inconsistent (as with the Negima example above), anyone who can put two-and-two together can figure it out. One of the most notable lampshades being when Hayate tries to correct Nagi when she says Mushiking without censorship, to which she explains that they got permission this time. Honestly, the anime hangs a lampshade on the trope and dances in circles around it, pointing at it as a Running Gag in its own right. And episode where Nagi doesn't make a reference is rarer than one where she does. |

World of Warcraft isn't exempt from this either. In Un'Goro Crater, a gnome wearing a green tunic and cap, named Linken, sets you on a long quest line that references everything from "Eastern peninsula is the secret", to tossing a sword into a spring and receiving it tempered, to receiving a magical boomerang that deals ranged damage and stuns or disarms. And not too far away you'll find Dadanga, and the hammer-wielding dwarves Larion and Muigin. The list goes on. The zone is basically one long shoutout to Nintendo, but there are plenty of other examples of this trope in the rest of the game. One of the characters describes a movie trilogy that is Lord of the Rings, but with WoW characters and barely disguised titles such as the third movie being called "Hey, the King is Back!" |

The Howard and Nester comic strip in issue #9 of Nintendo Power has Howard accompanying a duck on an expedition to the moon (with Nester stowing away). The duck in question is never addressed by name and doesn't look like it, but the reader can probably guess, judging from the fact that this particular installment was based on the DuckTales NES game, that he is supposed to be Scrooge McDuck. The same comic has a character named Roboduck, who is clearly an Expy of Gizmoduck. | |

Mad Monster Party?, while not made by Universal, was clearly working with the characters of Universal Horror. It should be noted that while the literary versions of some of these monsters are in the public domain, their Universal interpretations are not. Count Dracula and Frankenstein's Monster are extremely similar to their portrayals in Dracula and Frankenstein, with a few minor new touches such as a Dracula's High-Class Glass. The Bride of Frankenstein is renamed "the Monster's Mate", but is basically a stop-motion version of Phyllis Diller. The Creature is Creature from the Black Lagoon with just a shortened title, and a slight redesign for the puppet to not make it an exact match. The Werewolf is just as humanoid as The Wolf Man, and is even called "Ron Chanley" in the prequel. "It" is a gigantic ape who kidnaps a woman, climbs a tower, and fights off attacking planes; the only difference from King Kong is the name. |

Superman/Batman: In the first Annual, as a reference to Deadpool's origins as a Deathstroke Captain Ersatz, had an Alternate Universe Deathstroke who looked like Deadpool, acted like Deadpool, and had powers like Deadpool, but was always interrupted whenever he attempted to reveal his name (including one panel where he screams "DEADPOOOOooooo~") since Deadpool is the property of Marvel Comics. It should be noted that the comic was written by Joe Kelly, who had written Deadpool in the 1990s. And drawn by Ed McGuinness, who drew Deadpool under Kelly. The With A Vengeance storyline features the "Maximums" who are thinly veiled analogues of The Avengers (the name suggests The Ultimates; the line-up doesn't) from the other guys. |

A slight subversion of this occurs in The Transformers; Jetfire was based upon Super Dimension Fortress Macross' VF-1 fighter. While this proved no issue for Hasbro (who licensed it from Bandai themselves), it did for Takara and the character wound up being redesigned (and renamed) so that he could be shown on the show. And even then, Takara did whatever they could to prevent him from appearing in the Japanese version of the show. Hasbro and Toei on the other hand, were able to use a robot similar to the VF-1 in Jetfire's animated toy commercial. Similarly, Transformers: Animated's Starscream has Isamu Alva Dyson's YF-19 "Alpha One" from Macross Plus as his vehicle mode, but this time the staff got away with it. |

Freakazoid! loves "The guy who hits stuff with mallets". He's obviously talking about 80s comedian Gallagher, whose main schtick was to hit watermelons with giant mallets. But he's referred to as "Gulliver". In the very first episode, the narrator says that only one hero is able to stop Cave Guy. The camera then pans up to a certain silhouetted caped crusader, but then the narrator says that that hero is "on another network", since the World's Greatest Detective was airing on Fox Kids at the time, and Freakazoid aired on what was then The WB. |

During the first two seasons of Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Wonder Woman was deemed off-limits due to the notoriously convoluted legal red tape regarding the character's media rights. The creators were able to give Wondy a cameo in a Flashback sequence by only showing her from behind, thus avoiding any of her trademarked iconography (such as her tiara or W crest). | |

Other than the main cast, most characters who show up in normalman are either parodies or used with permission from their creators, but Asterix and Obelix make a cameo appearance when norm is in Roman times.

Green Lantern: The fifth issue of Green Lantern Corps Quarterly has G'Nort's story involve having to stop a villain who has caused humans and dogs to switch places as owners and pets. After things are returned to normal, a bespectacled man with red hair and a white dog he calls "Mr. Peabody" are shown among the humans and their pet dogs. When Kyle Rayner moved to New York in Green Lantern volume 3, issue 57, he got help from Doctor Strange's assistant Wong in finding his apartment building at 175 Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village. The Sanctum Sanctorum's address in the Marvel Universe is 177A Bleecker Street. As a bonus, the house on that site was demolished, reflecting the state of the Sanctum over in Strange's series at Marvel at the time. Wong (who, naturally, went unnamed in his appearance here) even noted that Kyle would find the neighborhood "a little... strange". Grant Morrison's The Green Lantern has featured inhabitants of the vampire planet Vorr in crowd shots who bear strong resemblances to notable vampire characters who aren't under ownership by DC Comics, particularly Marvel Comics' Blade and Morbius the Living Vampire. In addition, one of the alternate Green Lanterns featured in the Alliance of Alternates formed near the end of Season One is Spectra, who is almost certainly a female analogue of Doctor Spectrum, the Green Lantern counterpart of Marvel's Justice League Alternate Company Equivalent the Squadron Supreme. |

Disney isn't above pulling this trope on themselves. When DuckTales (2017) first went into production, the showrunners had the rights to every Disney Afternoon franchise except Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, because a movie starring them had long been in production and Disney didn't want conflicts with the brand. The showrunners knew however they couldn't leave them out, so they slipped them in by only referring to them as "intelligent rodents" in the script, didn't have them speak, and never explicitly refer to them as the Rescue Rangers. By the time Disney execs found out, they felt the references were harmless and let the episode air as is. | |

In the original airing of the Superman: The Animated Series episode "Apokoplips...Now! (Part 2)", Peter Parker, the Fantastic Four, Nick Fury and Stan Lee were seen at Dan Turpin's funeral, which was meant as a nod to the passing of Jack Kirby (Turpin's creator and the show's inspiration for Turpin's design). This was later changed for the DVD release. | |

Spider-Man 2: as Mary Jane runs away from her wedding, she passes by a man in a long black trenchcoat. The audio commentary reveals that he's meant to be Frank Castle, played by Thomas Jane's stunt double from The Punisher (2004); however, since Lionsgate owned The Punisher's film rights at the time, Jane couldn't appear as the character. | |

In Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!, the anime that inspired Midori to want to make anime herself is Conan of the Lost Island, which is really Future Boy Conan in all but name. Because Science SARU had support, but not legal permission to use Future Boy Conan in the anime adaptation, the scenes from Conan of the Lost Island were painstakingly traced frame by frame, recolored, and the music cues and sound effects remade to match the original. Some brief dialogue from the show itself also changes Lana's name to Kana. | |

PS238 is full of Captain Ersatzes, but Murphy arguably falls into this trope for The Sandman's Morpheus. Murphy is a piece of a cosmic being of dreams, and took the name "Murphy" because he knows that it's close to his real name, which he can't quite remember. Also, he has an unseen sister who's implied to be Death. | |

Spawn: There's a rather Anvilicious issue in which the titular character meets a bunch of superheroes imprisoned in Hell. You never quite see any of them due to heavy shadows, but the one they call the "First" and the "Most Powerful of All" has tight blue sleeves with no gloves and a spitcurl. (The Anvilicious part is that it's a Take That! against publishers denying royalties to the creators of their most iconic characters. Spawn himself is rather famously creator-owned, which is why he's free instead of chained like the others.) This particular issue was written by Dave Sim, who includes an appearance in the end of the issue by his own creation Cerebus. While reading Todd McFarlane's autobiography on the toilet, the Archangel Michael laughs over how stupid a superhero with spider-powers sounds. |

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts: Shortly before the Autobots set out to retrieve the Transwarp Key, Mirage demonstrates his abilities to turn into the alternate modes of several other Transformers as Mythology Gag. These include a Lamborghini (Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Breakdown), a dragster (G1 Mirage, Drag Strip), and a Ferrari (DotM Mirage/Dino, Wildrider). Naturally, considering how overprotective Ferrari is over how their products are portrayed and the fact that Hasbro does not hold the rights to make Ferrari toys (which was in fact the reason why Dino did not get an accurate toy until a decade after the film's release), the transformation occurs entirely offscreen. | |

Mister Fantastic appears briefly in the Planet Hulk movie, but is shown only in shadow and has no lines. This was due to 20th Century Fox owning the film rights to the Fantastic Four at the time.note Disney, which acquired Marvel Comics back in 2009, eventually bought out most of Fox's entertainment assets on March 20, 2019, which included the movie rights to the Fantastic Four. | |

The first print versions of The Revenge of Shinobi for the Sega Genesis featured bosses that resembled Spider-Man, Batman, the Terminator (who wore no shirt and turned green as he took damage), and Godzilla. To avoid any potential lawsuits, Sega released a revision of the game which replaces Godzilla with a metal skeletal dinosaur and Batman with a Devilman-like creature. Spider-Man was kept as an official cameo (with a new copyrights screen acknowledging Marvel Comics' ownership of the character), since Sega had the Spider-Man license for a couple of other games (namely the Spider-Man arcade game and the Genesis game Spider-Man vs. the Kingpin). In the Virtual Console re-release, Spider-Man is now colored pink (Due to Sega losing the rights to use Spider-Man to Activision). Ironically, the Terminator/Hulk has appeared in all versions of The Revenge of Shinobi with no modifications whatsoever. Shinobi III, on the other hand, was able to get away with Mechagodzilla. |

The titular game in the Batman Beyond episode "Sentries of the Last Cosmos" is clearly modeled off of the Star Wars franchise. The "save the distant universe" game plot, the imposing armor for the "sentries", and their lightsaber-like flaming swords are relatively generic enough. However, there is no way of getting around the fact that the villain du jour is straight-up wearing Jedi robes and furthermore has the hood up for the climax like Emperor Palpatine. To seal the deal, there is this gem of dialogue: | |

Sonic the Hedgehog and the Silicon Warriors features a plot where Tails is sucked into a computer world and Dr. Robotnik is using video game characters to conquer the world so there are lots of these. The pair are attacked by falling blocks (that come in L, S and I shapes) that fuse together, a large yellow sphere with a split in the middle, like a mouth, that makes electronic gulping sounds, a blond fighter in a red karate suit and a black haired blue costumed female called "Chin Lie". Sonic recognizes the latter as being from "Road Warrior Two". | |

Rom: Spaceknight was a licensed series based on a toy from Parker Bros, meaning that once the license expired, the character could no longer appear in the Marvel Universe. However, since Marvel owns most of his lore and his non-Spaceknight design, he's still managed to pop up on occasion. For instance, the creative team behind Universe X were able to slip him into issue #3 by showing him without most of his armor (including his distinctive helmet), with the other characters only referring to him as "The greatest of the Spaceknights" and never using his real name. | |

In addition to the clerk being voiced by the same actor and having the same personality and appearance (albeit nearly a decade and a half older), a photo of Brendon's old coach John McGuirk can be seen in the store, cementing the connection. | |

The Ren & Stimpy Show: In the pilot "Big House Blues" dog versions of Fred Flintstone and George Jetson can be seen at the pound. The episode "I Was a Teenage Stimpy" features Stimpy inviting a few friends over; although not named they are obvious parodies of Archie Andrews and Jughead Jones. Jughead can be seen tattooing Archie's back with their high school graduation years which date back to the 1950's to the 90's referring to the fact that the characters never age. |

As it usually tries to avoid censoring, Lucky Star references titles and locations only indirectly, Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuutsu being the major exception. However, in one episode, Konata tells a 'ghost story' about a bus driver singing "Danzen! Futari wa *** cure", and in another a thinly-veiled conversation about Gundams between Konata and her father seems to be an exercise in "how far can we go before we get sued?" They once made a reference to Pocky beyond obvious when they had Misao say the name twice, the first time having the last half blanked out (Po*** ) and the second time the first half blanked (** cky), alongside having chocolate milk or juice sucked up a straw to a certain point before being held in place to look like the snack. Konata's "fight" with Guile actually has two separate Street Fighter references. The first is the obvious Guile clone, but the second shows up in the form of the "VS screen". The background is taken right out of Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike. And the "stage" is Ryu's from Street Fighter II. Finally, she knocks him out with the Tatsumaki Senpyukyaku (Hurricane Kick), one of Ryu and Ken's signature moves. One episode has Code Geass and Lelouch's name censored out. Ironically, Bandai Entertainment would later pick up the rights to localize both that and Lucky Star. Tsukasa's Sgt. Frog keychain is worth noting here. During the Initial D parody, Kagami refers to Initial D as "chomei-chomei D", "chomei-chomei" being a placeholder name for something well-known. Kadokawa-Bandai dub: "Bleepin'-D." Cousin Yui reading manga with Rider on the cover. Also, episode 10, when Tsukasa's gentle nature and Kagami's Tsundere nature become blatantly obvious to Soujirou. The Gundam discussion segment is meant to parody the ridiculousness of the censoring. Both Konata and Soujirou's eyes have a censor bar over them, and every third word is bleeped out with a different sound. That said, the corresponding manga was published in an official Gundam magazine, so... The Image Song "Yuuchou Sentai Dararenjaa" (A Super Sentai-esque song) mentions, by cutting short instead of censoring, a certain "Lucky Clo---." In episode 19, Hiyori draws Apollo Justice and Klavier Gavin from the Ace Attorney series. |

In an interesting case, one episode of Arthur had Arthur and friends writing pilot scripts for a contest. These were all obvious parodies of other popular cartoons. The thing is, most of these parodies were of shows aimed at a- to put it lightly- more mature audience, like South Park, Beavis and Butt-Head, and Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist. What makes this more bizarre is that each of the stories were actual submissions by kids for a contest to generate ideas for the show, implying that the kids who sent those stories in watched those shows themselves. One episode had a Domo plush in the background, another referenced a show called "Judo Kittens" whose characters looked pretty familiar... |

Also, in episode 1, Haruhi holds up magazines to Kyon and Mikuru, featuring other anime series, one of which is SHUFFLE!, with Kaede and Asa on the cover. Note that Yuko Goto voices both Mikuru and Kaede. |

Howard the Duck: In the first issue of Vol. 6 (2016, for the record), the part of "Nameless Marvel Comics Redneck Conservative Strawman #4,451" is played by what is very clearly Soos from Gravity Falls. Which is weird, because that description doesn't really apply to Soos at all, but whatever. In the final issue of the same volume, Tara transforms into thinly-veiled versions of Jun the Swan, Judge Dredd, and even an EVA. |

Crossover (2020), in which a big crossover between many real-life comic books from different companies spills over into the world of the comic, has plenty of cameos and even supporting roles of characters from indie and creator-owned comics, but appearances of characters from DC Comics and Marvel Comics are usually limited to name-dropping, apperances of their actual comic books or just mostly obscured appearances like seeing their hands sticking between prison cell bars. | |

Murder by Death was an entire crossover of famous but legally-distinct fictional detectives: Sidney Wang = Charlie Chan Sam Diamond = Sam Spade Dick and Dora Charleston = Nick and Nora Charles Miss Marbles = Miss Marple M'sieu Perrier = Hercule Poirot Another role had been written for Katharine Hepburn as Agatha Christie—or "Dame Abigail Christian"—but the character was dropped when Myrna Loy, who'd played Nora Charles in The Thin Man, refused to appear. The movie originally ended with a cameo by two detectives so similar to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson that Arthur Conan Doyle's estate got it removed from all home video releases. |

In episode 49 of the 2001 anime of Shaman King, the members Team LCT/Team Insane Asylum were based off Pro Wrestlers Mark LoMonaco (Bubba Ray Dudley/Brother Ray), one of the Hardys (Matt Hardy or Jeff Hardy) and Adam Copeland (Edge) who used tables, ladders and chairs respectively as their weapons in the WWE. And of course, earlier the heroes had to fight the corpse of a world famous Chinese martial artist from Hollywood movies, who developed his own fighting style, whose favorite weapons were a pair of nunchuks, and who died mysteriously at the peak of his popularity. So, totally not Bruce Lee, then. |

Gintama does this frequently, typically by having its characters cosplay as characters from other Shounen Jump manga. The secret weapon the Renho plan to use against Earth are mechs called "Gunsams" that have their heads pixellated due to how much of a resemblance they bear to what they're parodying. Shinpachi remarks about how heinous is that they managed to get away with such a blatant rip-off without being sued. The end notes on the episode that usually contain some Reality Subtext, or just plain text, mentions how lucky they are that it's Sunrise making the show. |

A flashback in Avengers Forever depicts Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man as one of the alternate realities witnessed by Thor and the Space Phantom, with the panel showing a flash of Doctor Octopus and Lex Luthor escaping from prison together. Lex obviously goes unnamed, and the appendix published in the back of issue #10 refers to him only as "a striking-looking bald man." Additionally, the future version of Rick Jones wears a bunch of articles of clothing taken from various superheroes. While most of Rick's items appear to be from Marvel characters, the outfit also includes Batman's Utility Belt and Superman's cape, albeit with the latter folded in such a way that the S-shield logo is partially obscured. Once again, the final issue's appendix plays coy, saying "We're not going to ask where he got the poncho and the belt." | |

While he had a full issue experience with Spider-Man in Marvel Team-Up, he also encounters Batman (though only his arm is seen and his name is implied without having to say it outright, thanks to a running joke from the MTU issue), a world similar to Y: The Last Man and possibly the world of The Walking Dead, one of Robert Kirkman's other books. | |

Spider-Boy, the combination of Spider-Man and Superboy from Amalgam Comics, was deemed off-limits due to being co-owned by Marvel and DC. However, the creators were able to sneak him into Spider-Verse #2, where his face can briefly be seen in a crowd shot. Later, during End of the Spider-Verse, Morlun is shown holding Spider-Boy's severed arm (made identifiable by the glove and leather jacket sleeve) after apparently having killed him off-panel, but the character still isn't identified by name. | |

RuPaul's Drag Race: The show officially forbids contestants from referencing fictional characters, but several queens on the show have specialized in cosplay, like Phi Phi O'Hara and Dax ExclamationPoint. As a result, the show has gotten extremely permissive and basically lets the queens do everything but reference the character by name, such as the African-American Dax wearing a white wig and lightning motifs when she first entered the Werk Room (accompanied by thunder and lighting, no less). However, the show seems to have done away with this rule. In Season 16, during the second episode's metallic-themed runway, Jax (no relation) flat-out admitted that her look—army fatigues with metal arms—was based on her semi-namesake, Jax from Mortal Kombat.note "Semi" because her real name out of drag is Jackson or Jax for short, but the decision to use it as her drag name comes from the irony of having the same name as the character, a super-masculine Army major. In the Once a Season challenge "The Snatch Game," a Match Game parody where the queens impersonate celebrities and try their hand at improv comedy, they're not allowed to impersonate fictional characters, but they can impersonate the actor/actress who played that character and base the impersonation on that specific role, like Season 3's Stacy Layne Matthews officially impersonating Monique but specifically channeling the abusive mother from Precious. |

In one chapter of Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, Yugi Mutou from Yu-Gi-Oh! pops out of Bo-bobo's afro and summons Sky Dragon Osiris (AKA Slifer the Sky Dragon) to help battle Halekulani. (This is even more lawyer-friendly, as the scene in which this happened was drawn by the original creator of Yu-Gi-Oh!.) This later becomes a combo attack for the two characters in Jump Superstars. | |

In the very first episode, the narrator says that only one hero is able to stop Cave Guy. The camera then pans up to a certain silhouetted caped crusader, but then the narrator says that that hero is "on another network", since the World's Greatest Detective was airing on Fox Kids at the time, and Freakazoid aired on what was then The WB. | |

How Much for Just the Planet?: At around the point where Scotty and Chekov's golf game stops being a normal game and starts being a Bizarre and Improbable Golf Game, with a completely accurate sign reading "Bunker Left - Minefield Right", they and their Klingon counterparts are interrupted by a man in a khaki uniform with a pencil moustache who speaks with a clipped voice, or, in other words, The Brigadier from Doctor Who. Just to make sure that you don't think it's a coincidence, one of this man's few lines is calling on a Sergeant Benson, who is exactly one letter off being UNIT's most notable non-Brigadier character, Sergeant Benton. | |

Shrek 2: During the opening montage, when Fiona and Shrek are making out on the beach, a tidal wave washes an Ariel lookalike up onto Shrek, who reacts in horror. Fiona then chucks her out to sea, where she's apparently eaten by sharks. In a later scene, when Fairy Godmother's factory is flooded with potions, two of her affected mooks resemble Lumiere and Cogsworth. |

Tooned has McLaren driver James Hunt (later of Rush (2013) fame) take on his nemesis "Lautfinger" in a James Bond parody set in Monte Carlo, Lautfinger being a thinly-veiled reference to Hunt's real life arch-rival Niki Lauda. Lauda actually drove for McLaren in the early 80s following his stint at Ferrari and Brabham, but due to the fact that he (and Lewis Hamilton, who previously voiced himself in the series) was working with Mercedes at the time, they could only settle for an expy instead. | |

Disgaea: Hour of Darkness does this quite obviously with the infamous Prism Rangers. And how could you forget Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth! The second game also features a conversation with a member of monster-type demon race that's usually considered female for pretty much the rest of the game. At the end of the conversation the monster reveals that it is, in fact, a boy. At this point, you realize/remember that the monster in question is named Bridget. And then there's the third game with not one, but two of the Diez Gentlemen. One is Bo Tie (flip his name around). Then there's Se-To-Oh, who ironically, summons a bunch of monsters in one turn. |

In Good Omens there is the alien that looked like a pepper pot, described as beeping, so... the shout out/lawyer-friendly cameo becomes a bit of a twofer. | |

The very first issue of What If? alluded to the crossover by showing a glimpse of Spider-Man being punched by a faceless combatant in a blue costume. For legal reasons, the Watcher only identified Superman as "a colorfully-clad alien" from another continuity. | |

"After King Kong Fell": Both The Shadow and Doc Savage are there at the site of Kong's body after he falls. They go unnamed, but descriptions of the former's "hawk-like face" and the latter's "gold-specked eyes" make them unmistakable references. | |

Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei has innumerable instances. In speech, one syllable of the word/name in question is either bleeped over or pronounced "maru", in text one letter is replaced by a circle. Pretty much anything from Studio Shaft is guaranteed to be filled with Lawyer-Friendly Cameos. Pani Poni Dash! for example, had a freakin' Yukkuri in the OVA. |

Coming to America has McDowell's, which is not only an obvious ripoff of McDonald's, but is treated as such in the movie — and the owner has to describe the subtle differences between his store and the McDonald's right next door.

The Third Universe had previously been established as the Faction Paradox universe, which is also the Doctor Who universe, meaning the Three must be representatives of the Great Houses of the Time Lords, as borne out by their being about to launch a war with the eldritch vampires of the universe next-door to theirs. (Although there is no smoking gun, the fact that there are three of them and they come from just before the war with the vampires may lead some to guess that the Three are in fact the Triumvirate of Rassilon, Omega and the Other.) | |

The Kingdom Rush series, being packed with references and cameos, features some. In Kingdom Rush Frontiers, a total of three Predators are hidden across three different maps, but are called 'Alien Hunters'. In a map on Kingdom Rush Origins, two kids (named 'Hans' and 'Ethel') can be freed from a candy house inhabited by a witch. The achievement for freeing them is also a Lawyer Friendly Cameo: 'Candy Rush'. |

The Venture Bros. plays with this a lot. Many of the characters on the show are parodies, but the characters they're based on also exist, either as fiction (Baron Underbeit is mockingly compared to Doctor Doom) or actual people. For instance, Dr. Rusty Venture is a parody of Jonny Quest (a boy adventurer with a genius scientist for a father), which doesn't stop his bodyguard/Race Bannon parody Brock Samson from being old friends with the actual Bannon, or Rusty from being in a therapy group with "Action Jonny" himself. Not to mention the time that the Impossible Family won a costume contest by dressing as the Fantastic Four. | |

Throughout Preacher, Jesse Custer has a spirit adviser called The Duke, who is clearly meant to be John Wayne but never explicitly referred to as such and always drawn with face in shadow. However, his father, John Custer, is shown and referred to as meeting the flesh-and-blood John Wayne while serving in Vietnam. Also, in issue #53, Jesse gives a lift to a fat, aging Elvis (this one's a lot harder to identify, but it's definitely him). Plus there's the sequence where Herr Starr meets (and insults) a number of unnamed world leaders - we only see Starr's face, but can identify who he's addressing by the insult (e.g. "You've got a girl's haircut, Colonel.") | |

Examples of the bosses include a singing potted plant that uses musical notes as projectilesnote Changed to a pitcher plant that shoots bubbles in the American release., an ape-man on horseback who fights with a ruined Statue of Liberty appearing in the backgroundnote The American release changed it to a pumpkin-headed ghost boss and removed the ruined Statue of Liberty seen in the background, a grotesque head on spider legsnote Changed to a Giant Spider in the American release., a Mogwai that turns into a Gremlin as the boss fight startsnote Changed into a cute cat that turns into a feline monstrosity in the American release., and a Xenomorphnote Changed to The Grim Reaper in the American release.. | |

Final Fantasy has the recurring characters Biggs and Wedge, named after the pair from Star Wars — although Biggs's name was romanized as "Vicks" in the SNES release of Final Fantasy VI. Not only did they show up in Chrono Trigger as well, but that game even has an Admiral Piett to go with them. The Japanese version of Final Fantasy basically used the original Dungeons & Dragons bestiary down to the names, and most monsters were renamed in localization to prevent legal action. Final Fantasy VII has the summon Hades, a skeleton wearing a hooded robe that curses enemies with fumes from a giant kettle, and his attack is explicitly named "Black Cauldron". |

The Amazing World of Gumball: The episode "The Copycats" was made as a direct response to a very infamous series of milk commercials in China that featured scenes from the show ripped off shot-for-shot. In a huge case of irony, though, even the rip-offs here had to be slightly altered in design to avoid legal trouble. It's worth noting that the storyboards for the episode still presented these characters in their original "Miracle Star" designs. | |

In The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, in which every character is either a literary character or a literary character's ancestor, Fu Manchu is never mentioned by name, because he's still under copyright. In the movie, Fu Manchu was replaced with the Sherlock Holmes villain Prof. Moriarty (who also appears in the comic) disguised as a mix of The Phantom of the Opera and Fantomas. And the Black Dossier includes British secret agents named "Jimmy", who is obviously James Bond (He won't stop talking about "some business in Jamaica" and all that, and he's also the grandson of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen original character Campion Bond), Miss Night, who is clearly Emma Peel, and Uncle Hugo, who is Bulldog Drummond. To say nothing of the new M, who dislikes being referred to as "Harry" because Harry died a long time ago, in the sewers under Vienna. And then there's Paint it Black in which Mina meets a tall dark haired gentleman who claims his first name is Tom, his middle name is a marvel and his last name is a conundrum. Century 2009 extends this to Harry himself being not only the ultimate bad guy, but the Antichrist — while still never being named or even seen before being mutated by his powers. Also in Paint it Black, during Mina's hallucination she sees the Daleks and a Blue Meanie. In The Black Dossier, the Blazing World features characters who are unidentified but are clearly The Lone Ranger, Charlie Brown, and the Disney version of Snow White. And that's just the prominent ones! There are hundreds of smaller references and cameos scattered throughout the series alongside their public domain counterparts. |

X-Men: The Animated Series would sometimes feature cameos from Marvel characters who were off-limits due to their TV rights belonging to other networks or production companies. The use of generic placeholder names in the scripts, such as "Large Green Neanderthal Robot" for an android duplicate of The Incredible Hulk or "African Mutant Refugee #3" for Black Panther, helped get these past the lawyers. In one instance, after being told that he couldn't use Spider-Man in an episode, storyboard artist Larry Houston managed to sneak a cameo in anyway by showing Spidey's arm firing a line of webbing. Fantastic Four: The Animated Series did the same thing, such as showing a group of plain-clothed tourists who were clearly supposed to be Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm and Gambit in "Nightmare in Green", or Storm and her godson Mjnari popping up in Wakanda in "Prey of the Black Panther". "Nightmare in Green" also showed a shot of the Juggernaut's hand bursting out of the water, a reference to an earlier X-Men episode where he'd been hurled into the ocean by Gladiator. | |

Spider-Man: In Doctor Octopus: Year One, flashbacks to young Otto Octavius' past are prevalent throughout the story. At one point it shows four bullies beating him up. One with long hair and a wool cap, one with a white t-shirt and a shaved head, one with a green T-shirt, and one with a torn jean jacket. One issue had a single-panel cameo appearance from Doc "Rusty" Venture and Brock Samson. They weren't really doing anything of note, they were just having lunch. The bullies from The Simpsons also showed up in an issue of Young Justice, where they tried to harass Red Tornado's daughter during Halloween. They showed up again in two separate issues of the Mars Attacks! comic book series, as well as an issue of Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters. |

Sorcerer Hunters includes a number of these, exemplified by the chapter "Seaside Days in the Springtime of Youth, one of the series' many Beach Episodes. In it, a magical potion turns the protagonists into cosplaying cameos from other series such as Sailor Moon, Urusei Yatsura, and Darkstalkers. Also, for a Fanservice laden shonen series, the frequent cameos from the decidedly shoujo and chaste dating sim of Angelique were amusing, especially when the game's resident cute boy showed up as a slave boy belonging to one of the manga's villains. | |

Issue 426 of volume one of The Incredible Hulk had Peter David include a lawyer-friendly cameo of Hal Jordan in the form of a mental patient Doc Samson and Bruce Banner run into named Mr. J who wears green clothes, has brown hair with graying temples and is under the delusion of owning a power ring. This references the role Hal Jordan played as Parallax in DC Comics' then-recent Zero Hour: Crisis in Time! Crisis Crossover. In issue #413, meanwhile, Hulk defeats Doomsday (who has his face obscured and is cut off before he can say his full name for legal reasons) in a virtual reality training program. | |

Space Quest V: The Next Mutation featured the rear end of the USS Enterprise in the Starcon hangar bay. Captain Picard appears in the conference room on the station. There's also Spike. No lawsuits, somehow. Of course, the entire series is filled with this sort of stuff. It wasn't in Quest for Glory II, though. That was the USS Exitprise. |

Reversed in Ray the Animation: In the manga, Osamu Tezuka's Dr. Black Jack 'cameos', but his face is never shown and he is never referred to by his full name, due to copyright concerns. In the animation, Black Jack doesn't fall under these restrictions anymore, seeing as how it was produced by Tezuka's animation studio, which of course holds the copyright on the character. | |

Possibly due to its anime influence, Kappa Mikey has a few of these. A few of the guest appearances include a fat, middle-aged Speed Racer, a palette-swapped version of Puchiko from Di Gi Charat, and Yugi Muto with ridiculously exaggerated hair. In one of the first episodes, you can also see a figure that looks like Mega Man X and Zero combined. |

Group scenes in comics featuring the Legion of Super-Heroes like to slip in famous aliens or other odd-looking characters. An alien resembling Dr. Zoidberg of Futurama was seen being arrested by the Science Police in Action Comics #863 (part of the Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes storyline). The fourth annual of the 1989 series, which was part of the Bloodlines crisis crossover, has Angon slaughter a pair of aliens who resemble Ren Hoek and Stimpson J. Cat. |

The Tiny Toon Adventures episode "New Character Day" begins with the titular character of Who Framed Roger Rabbit being rejected at the audition for new characters to appear on the show. Since that film was made by Warner Bros.' rival Disney, however, legal action was avoided by never giving the audience a clear shot of his face and referring to him as "White Rabbit" in the credits. | |

As a landmark collaboration between Marvel and DC, Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man still gets referenced from time to time, despite the potential legal issues involved: The very first issue of What If? alluded to the crossover by showing a glimpse of Spider-Man being punched by a faceless combatant in a blue costume. For legal reasons, the Watcher only identified Superman as "a colorfully-clad alien" from another continuity. A flashback in Avengers Forever depicts Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man as one of the alternate realities witnessed by Thor and the Space Phantom, with the panel showing a flash of Doctor Octopus and Lex Luthor escaping from prison together. Lex obviously goes unnamed, and the appendix published in the back of issue #10 refers to him only as "a striking-looking bald man." Additionally, the future version of Rick Jones wears a bunch of articles of clothing taken from various superheroes. While most of Rick's items appear to be from Marvel characters, the outfit also includes Batman's Utility Belt and Superman's cape, albeit with the latter folded in such a way that the S-shield logo is partially obscured. Once again, the final issue's appendix plays coy, saying "We're not going to ask where he got the poncho and the belt." The final Secret Wars (2015) cover features an homage to the cover of the crossover. Since Superman is obviously a DC character, the picture is cropped in such a way so that all we see of him is one of his red boots floating near Spidey. During his short series, the Body Surfing hero Mosaic briefly took over Spider-Man's body, and memories of his adventures appeared as panels floating through his mind. One of said panels was very clearly Spidey's attempt to use Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs on Supes that nearly broke both his hands, but of course the man he's punching just so happens to be obscured by Mosaic's own arm. |

Writer Steve Skeates famously began a story in an issue of Aquaman (published by DC Comics), only to resolve it in an issue of Namor (published by Marvel Comics) after the former series was cancelled. The Namor installment contained a very brief Broad Strokes recap of the events of the previous issue, and thanks to the obvious copyright problems, Aquaman could not be named or explicitly shown. This resulted in only his hand being seen, and the narration itself refusing to identify the hero by name. | |

In the VGA remake of Space Quest I: The Sarien Encounter, the Droids-B-Us shop (which itself features an android Geoffrey the Giraffe as its logo!) has a "Dalick" for sale, which bears a striking resemblance to a certain creature from Doctor Who. There's also the robot from Lost in Space, as well as another droid, HA-Y-AO, which clearly was inspired by Hayao Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky. The Blues Brothers also have a cameo as bar singers. ZZ Top had a cameo in the original, but this wasn't so lawyer-friendly, as Sierra got slapped with a lawsuit and had to replace them in the remake by a band of similarly dressed midgets, while The Blues Brothers were replaced with a pair of blue-skinned MIBs. Their respective musics were also changed. The former's sprites could still be found Dummied Out in the game data. There was a robot called the "Def-Tech" resembled a Rifleman 'Mech Space Quest II: Vohaul's Revenge had a Xenomorph-like alien and an ersatz of ED-209 from RoboCop, and Vohaul resembles Darth Vader unmasked. Space Quest III: The Pirates of Pestulon has Arnoid, a killer robot (Terminator). And Monolith Burger, with its large yellow "M" logo. The garbage ship is full of these, including a "bow tie fighter from the Cologne Wars" and an expy of Optimus Prime's head. Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers features a Radioshock store which suffered the same case with Droids-R-Us which was renamed to Hz. So Good. Space Quest V: The Next Mutation featured the rear end of the USS Enterprise in the Starcon hangar bay. Captain Picard appears in the conference room on the station. There's also Spike.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic gets away with this all the time since said cameos are ponies. So far we've had Karl Lagerfeld, Anna Wintour, the entire cast of The Big Lebowski, Indiana Jones, Big Boss, Mike 'Viper' Metcalf, Rick and Morty, and although they won't admit it was intentional, Braeburn looks an awful lot like Roy O'Bannon. An accidental example that has since become Ascended Fanon is the pony named Time Turner, AKA "Doctor Whooves", who strongly resembles the Tenth Doctor. In addition to further appearances of Time Turner since then, there have been occasional background cameos of other ponies who resemble other incarnations of the Doctor. The comics have even more examples. You can find Mario and Luigi, Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece, Loki from The Avengers, the Inner Senshi from Sailor Moon, Mabel Pines from Gravity Falls and tons of others. The comics also imply that Discord actually is Q from Star Trek. |

Doctor Who Expanded Universe: The Bernice Summerfield novel Ship of Fools by Dave Stone features a 25th century space-liner filled with Great Detectives IN SPACE!, including Emil Dupont (Hercule Poirot) and Khaarli of Czhanos (Charlie Chan). The Eighth Doctor Adventures novel Camera Obscura had an appearance of William the Bloody Awful Poet, which was the nickname Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer had as a human. Also, the Past Doctor Adventures novel The King of Terror has a character from Southern California mention Dingoes Ate my Baby as one of his favourite bands. The Past Doctor Adventures novel Millennial Rites briefly mentions a a blond-haired man in a dirty trenchcoat in a Dublin pub, and a thoughtful man levitating in a voluminous blue cloak in a New York brownstone as sensing the psychic shockwave caused by the Monster of the Week. |

In the Asterix story Asterix in Belgium, the two Belgians who announce Caesar's arrival are dead ringers for Thomson and Thompson, the pseudo-twin detectives from the Belgian comic Tintin. Right down to the Art Shift, the font in their Speech Bubbles, and the use of their catchphrase "To be precise..." And the recurring pirates are based on the cast of the Belgian comic ''Barbe-Rouge'', although no one outside France would get that. Asterix in Switzerland had a repairman who looked like the mascot of a French oil company. He was redrawn in the English edition to look like the Michelin man instead. |

The 1997 Bug one-shot had Bug of Marvel's Micronauts comic get into a squabble with Annihilus when the Negative Zone villain used his cosmic rod to travel through time and space. The two end up transporting to the origins of various Marvel characters...and one DC character. At one stop, Bug accidentally causes a bat to crash through a wealthy man's window, which is likely the moment where Bruce Wayne saw a bat and was inspired to become Batman. | |

Project A-Ko: It's hinted a few times that Eiko's parents are Superman and Wonder Woman, though they've never appeared onscreen in costume. (Although they have appeared with costume — Mrs. Magami is shown sewing or repairing a Superman outfit at one point.) Dad is also shown reading the Daily Planet. The third movie has a cameo appearance from Yawara Inokuma and her grandfather at the burger joint where Eiko works. |

In Teen Titans Spotlight #11, the Brotherhood of Evil are transported to a post-apocalyptic alternate reality where the planet has been ravaged by nuclear war. There, they encounter a band of rebels led by a warrior known only "Tin," who sports a peculiar red quiff hairstyle and rides into battle atop a mutated white dog. Once it's revealed that he used to be a boy adventurer and that his two closest friends are an alcoholic sea captain and a balding scientist, it becomes clear that the universe the Brotherhood landed in is a Bad Future AU version of The Adventures of Tintin. | |

The final Secret Wars (2015) cover features an homage to the cover of the crossover. Since Superman is obviously a DC character, the picture is cropped in such a way so that all we see of him is one of his red boots floating near Spidey. | |

M'sieu Perrier = Hercule Poirot Another role had been written for Katharine Hepburn as Agatha Christie—or "Dame Abigail Christian"—but the character was dropped when Myrna Loy, who'd played Nora Charles in The Thin Man, refused to appear. The movie originally ended with a cameo by two detectives so similar to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson that Arthur Conan Doyle's estate got it removed from all home video releases. |

Villains by Necessity: Barigans are stand-ins for hobbits, being short, hairy and usually rustic people, with Arcie going so far as to lampshade this (like Biblo or Frodo, he's the Black Sheep due to being an adventurer thief). The Nathauan also seem like ones for dark elves/drow, given their attributes (e.g. being a pretty Always Chaotic Evil subterranean people who would raid surface dwellers) and one theory is even that "they were elves once". On a more parodic level, the Gnifty Gnomes are thinly-disguised Smurfs, being sickly sweet tiny people that live in the same kind of houses the Smurfs did along with sharing their appearance. |

Perhaps the biggest example of "Pushing it" with this trope would be an Ultraman episode where the hero fights Jirass, a monster that looks a lot like Godzilla with a neck frill attached (And in fact it was an old Godzilla suit with a collar attached). Said frill is then torn off by Ultraman about halfway through the fight. Keep in mind though that series' creator Eiji Tsuburaya owned the Godzilla suit, not Toho as he was the head of their special effects team. | |

While Burnout normally uses Bland Name Cars, Burnout Paradise has the Legendary Cars DLC pack, which has four cars inspired by famous cars from films and television: Hunter Cavalry Bootlegger (complete with Dixie Horn), the Carson GT Nighthawk, the Hunter Manhattan Spirit, and the Jansen P12 88 Special. Toy versions of these cars are also unlockable in the Big Surf Island DLC. Burnout 3: Takedown also had The B-Team van, and the first lorry you get in crash mode has a particular disguise to it. |

Even though only Shazam's right arm, right leg and trademark cape are shown (and are colored blue, the color of Captain Marvel Jr.), it's still very clear who he's supposed to be. | |

An industrialist named Lex and a female thief named Carmen are mentioned as members, as is a deaf German by the name of Taubmann. Deceased former members include the Gentleman's dear friend Auric, a pair of terrorists known as the Gruber Brothers, and a wealthy, long-lived Asian man who perished during a conflict with his son. Additionally, it's heavily implied the club's original founder was James Moriarty. | |

Lina from Dota 2 is an odd example. Back when DotA was a humble game mod, she was straight-up named Lina Inverse and all her spell names were copied off the ones she used. She was built with purely in-game assets, so it wasn't meant to be a blatant copy. In Dota 2, she was one of many heroes that were renamed, and she's now called Lina the Slayer and is pretty distanced from the character she used to reference, but for some reason her spells weren't renamed, so she ends up being a sort of In Name Only Expy. Another similarly weird instance happened regarding Aghanim. Aghanim's Scepter is an item whose name is just a Shout-Out to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past villain. Dota 2 for a while skirted around name dropping Aghanim for hero voice lines, but suddenly this trend stopped with the newer heroes. Then Aghanim was introduced as a lore character, far removed from the character the item used to reference. |

The original Marvel Zombies story arc from Ultimate Fantastic Four was supposed to have the virus-carrying hero from another dimension be Superman, but the art was recolored to make it be The Sentry instead. This is why Sentry is drawn with an uncharacteristically short hairstyle that appears to include a spit curl, as well as why there is a triangular rip on the front of his costume that's roughly the same shape as Superman's S-shield logo. | |

Deadpool (2016) was a 20th Century Studios adaptation of a Marvel Comics property. As it was released three years before 20th Century Fox was bought out by Marvel parent Disney, there were two references to Marvel properties that had to be legally veiled due to Fox not owning the rights to them. The movie includes a speaking appearance by Bob, one of the title character's most prominent allies in the comics. But Marvel Studios owns the movie/TV rights for the organization he works forspoilerHYDRA, so this movie depicts him as simply a mook for the Big Bad. The final battle takes place on a decommissioned S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, which is never identified by name. Concept artist Emmanuel Shiu was even told to make sure it didn't resemble the one seen in The Avengers too closely. |

The Sandman character Death shows up at Rick Jones' and Marlo's wedding reception during Peter David's run on The Incredible Hulk. We don't see her face, just her upper torso and shoulders, but the pale skin, black sleeveless top and ankh pendant are giveaways. She briefly chats with the bride to assure her that Marlo and Rick will have a long and happy marriage, and to give her a gift. Marlo opens the gift and turns out to be a hairbrush. Given that Marlo had died and come back from the death in a previous storyline, you might say that Marlo had a brush with Death. | |

In the North #2 arc of Naoki Urasawa's Pluto, blind composer Paul Duncan recants a tale in his childhood where he was pulled from the brink of death by a Japanese black market doctor at the cost of his already weak eyesight. Said series is set in the Astro Boy universe. Said doctor was dressed in a black cloak and, according to North #2's investigations, charged his mother a ridiculously high fee for the procedure. Wild Mass Guessing aside, this doctor's identity should be obvious to any Tezuka fan. Kimba the White Lion also made an appearance in a group of escaping zoo animals. |

In a turnaround, an episode of The Simpsons has Bart and Milhouse watching an unnamed version of South Park. Which was in turn a reference to the South Park episode "Simpsons Did It". | |

Every Quest for Glory game features a cameo by at least one famous comedian. The list includes The Three Stooges in the first game, the Marx Brothers in the second, Redd Foxx as Fred Sanford, Cerebus the Aardvark, and Laurel and Hardy in the third, and a sound-alike of Rodney Dangerfield in the fourth. In Quest for Glory I, the VGA remake, if you're in the forest at certain times at morning or afternoon, you can see a dinosaur either going to or returning from work In Quest for Glory IV, one of the farmers at the inn is a Lawyer-Friendly Archie Bunker. |

Around the same time, Clark and Lois appeared in an issue of Excalibur (Marvel Comics), with Clark being cheerful about the number of superheroes in New York (which, in the Marvel Universe, is infamously full of them) as he sees Captain Britain flying overhead, and Lois not bothering to look up, remarking dismissively that "when you've seen one hyperthyroidal egomaniac in spandex, you've seen them all". | |

When Kyle Rayner moved to New York in Green Lantern volume 3, issue 57, he got help from Doctor Strange's assistant Wong in finding his apartment building at 175 Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village. The Sanctum Sanctorum's address in the Marvel Universe is 177A Bleecker Street. As a bonus, the house on that site was demolished, reflecting the state of the Sanctum over in Strange's series at Marvel at the time. Wong (who, naturally, went unnamed in his appearance here) even noted that Kyle would find the neighborhood "a little... strange". | |

When The Legend of the Lone Ranger, the 1981 movie remake of The Lone Ranger, was in production, former TV Lone Ranger Clayton Moore was legally prevented from appearing in public as the Lone Ranger... so Moore varied his costume slightly and exchanged the mask for similar-looking wraparound sunglasses until he won his countersuit. The situation was parodied on Night Court with a Captain Ersatz who faced the same exact dilemma. | |

Albireo in the later chapters of Negima! Magister Negi Magi insists on being called "Ku:nel Sanders" (originally just to cover up his identity, later because he liked it). At one point during his insistence, an image of Colonel Sanders appears behind him (eyes blacked out, of course, as though to protect his "anonymity"). (For those interested, "Ku:nel" turns out to be the title of a Japanese leisure magazine, an involved Japanese pun about the purpose of living as well as a play on "Colonel".) | |

Meet Weapon Brown. The comic that is literally constructed wholesale out of this trope. Whether it be the main characters Chuck "Weapon" Brown and his dog Snoop, the pointy-haired CEO of 'The Syndicate', CALv1.n and HOBS, or the currently unknown-in-name alliance of characters including Pops, Val, and the blind Annie, you can be sure that you can easily recognise everybody, provided you're learned enough in your newspaper comics. And if you're not, JY tags the images with the names of either the characters or strip he's parodying. |

For instance, in an episode spoofing the folk tale of Urushima Taro, amongst the beautiful women whom Onsen Mark is surrounded by in the palace you can spot Misa Hayase, Lynn Minmay, Kim, Shammy and Vanessa. Then there was that one time Megane briefly became Jabba the Hutt during a freakout... |

Nearly every episode of Family Guy has this with characters appearing in a Cutaway Gag. If anyone cares, besides the Kool-Aid Man, the most prolific cameo is Superman, who in one early appearance in the episode "Holy Crap" got around trademarks by both not calling him by name and by the framing of him sitting at a poker table, with his cards conveniently covering up his S symbol. | |

The Transformers (Marvel): In "Race with the Devil", a story exclusive to the UK version, Susan Hoffman investigates the sighting of a resurrected Starscream with the assistance of three men who strongly resemble Egon Spengler, Ray Stantz and Peter Venkman as depicted in The Real Ghostbusters. The comic introduced a superhuman Anti-Hero named Josie Beller, AKA Circuit Breaker. Because she's owned by Marvel, Circuit Breaker has been unable to appear in any subsequent Transformers media, at least officially. The Transformers: Regeneration One was able to give her a cameo in a flashback by having the artist draw her with a blue energy coating over her entire body, thus obscuring her face and any identifiable costume elements. She also wasn't identified by name, with her old boss G.B. Blackrock instead referring to her as "an ex-employee" of his. Transformers: Shattered Glass, meanwhile, has a character called Sephie Beller (like Josie, Sephie is a nickname derived from the name Josephine), who is implied (but never explicitly stated) to be Josie's Mirror Universe counterpart. |

Done quite often on Drawn Together. In "Gay Bash", Elmer Fudd and Snagglepuss (their faces covered by Pixellation) show up at Xandir's "coming-out-of-the-closet" party. In "Requiem for a Reality Show", a masked Charlie Brown and Natasha Fatale (from Rocky and Bullwinkle) with a black bar over her eyes show up as the new BDSM partners for Foxxy Love and Captain Hero, respectively. In another episode, a down-and-out Wooldoor Sockbat is lying on the street when two characters, one fat wearing a white shirt and green pants, and one slender wearing a blue blouse and off-white pants (whose heads are cut off by the screen) walk by and give him some change. The skinny one, in a voice a little more than very reminiscent of Lois from Family Guy (because it was done by the very same actress as Lois), chastises her pudgy counterpart for it. In another episode when Toot, Xandir, and Wooldoor get high off Ling-Ling's sweat, the next day following their hangovers, Homer Simpson can be seen lying next to them. "Oh my god! It's Mickey [beep]!" "I can't believe it! It's [beep] Mouse!" |

Spider-Verse: Due to licensing issues, the versions of Spider-Man from the Spider-Man Trilogy and The Amazing Spider-Man could not appear. The writers got around this by mentioning a pair of Spider-Men that looked like Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield when unmasked, implying that the cinematic Spideys were indeed present during the battle. Spider-Boy, the combination of Spider-Man and Superboy from Amalgam Comics, was deemed off-limits due to being co-owned by Marvel and DC. However, the creators were able to sneak him into Spider-Verse #2, where his face can briefly be seen in a crowd shot. Later, during End of the Spider-Verse, Morlun is shown holding Spider-Boy's severed arm (made identifiable by the glove and leather jacket sleeve) after apparently having killed him off-panel, but the character still isn't identified by name. Spider-Man versions of Rorschach, Corto Maltese and Superman can be briefly seen in the Web of Life and Destiny, but otherwise do not impact the plot. Being an anime homage, Edge of Spider-Verse #5 is rife with these. Shinji, Rei, Asuka, Kaworu and Simon can be seen as students in Peni's classroom, while Motoko Kusanagi, Batou and Kaneda show up as criminals who get busted by Peni and Daredevil. |

Directly referenced in a chapter of Eyeshield 21, where Hiruma uses a statue he "found in a ditch" as a stand in for Homer, the quarterback for the Nasa Aliens. Said statue has its face covered by a poorly-drawn copy of Homer's face, but it's obviously supposed to be a Colonel Sanders statue. | |

In episode 21 of Sgt. Frog, thinly-disguised versions of Lupin III and Jigen get run off the road by the Hinata family car in an obvious parody of a scene from The Castle of Cagliostro. In episode 48, there is an inexplicable appearance by a human-sized version of the giant floating Rei Ayanami from End of Evangelion. | |

A supporting character in It's Walky! was a short, quiet girl with coke-bottle glasses named Marcie. No mention is made of what she was like as a child, but it's safe to take a guess. (For bonus reference points, she's openly bisexual.) | |

In Hellsing, Alucard's and Seras's main weapons are named Jackal and Harkonnen respectively. Though not explained in the anime, their namesakes show up in the manga as the characters' "spirit guides" during dream sequences: the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen from Dune in the case of Seras, and Bruce Willis (who starred in the movie Jackal) for Alucard. (The Baron does appear briefly in the anime's omake-style "next episode" teasers.) | |

In Action Comics #579, Superman is sent back in time to 253 AD, where he finds himself in a Gaulish village that has been fighting off the Romans thanks to a magic potion — so successfully, in fact, that they're unaware that the Empire has fallen. Jimmy Olsen puts on the outfit of their unnamed "greatest warrior", while a mind-controlled Superman fights "Columnix", an overweight Gaul with a white dog, who fell in the potion as a baby. | |

All Those Explosions Were Someone Else's Fault is set in an Alternate Universe where supernatural monsters and superheroes are a part of normal society. The novel's narrator relates a story at the beginning about how superheroes (called "Sparks" in this universe) first emerged publicly into the world, telling about how a trio of monsters ran afoul of a young, hyper-intelligent, bald man with a massive ego named Alex and his friend, a young man called Cal who wears glasses, is later revealed to be wearing a blue suit and a cape under his clothes, and who promptly wipes the floor with the monsters. | |
