A Take That!, like one would do to a Dueling Show, directed at another show on the same network. If it's directed at the network itself, it's Biting-the-Hand Humor. |

On the final telecast of The $20,000 Pyramid, a series of joke subjects were presented on the Pyramid board if, in Dick Clark's words, the show wanted to save a little money. One of them was "Hit Shows on NBC-TV." | |

There was also "The Quiz of Quizzes" which parodied various quizzes from multiple broadcasters, but was particularly vicious towards BBC Two's The Weakest Link. In the Link-style "voting someone off" section, everyone voted for Anne Robinson. | |

The other mainstay of the Clue slot, Just a Minute, also comes in for some stick, with an entire round parodying it, "Just a Minim". This has got more pointed in the Jack Dee years, with Jack presenting it as an increasingly deranged parody of Nicholas Parsons. | |

Roseanne: In "Roseanne Gets the Chair", Roseanne and Dan sleep through ABC lineup. When Dan complains that they missed all the shows about black and Asian families, Roseanne counters "They're just like us. There, now you're all caught up." This joke generated controversy because it was deemed an unnecessary, racist attack on shows about minority families. | |

I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue makes frequent digs at Radio 4 stablemates such as You and Yours and Quote, Unquote. The gags directed at Quote, Unquote in particular date from a time when the show was one of several alternating in the Clue timeslot, a position it was completely unsuited for (it has now joined other "thoughtful" panel games in the Monday 3pm slot). The other mainstay of the Clue slot, Just a Minute, also comes in for some stick, with an entire round parodying it, "Just a Minim". This has got more pointed in the Jack Dee years, with Jack presenting it as an increasingly deranged parody of Nicholas Parsons. There was also "The Quiz of Quizzes" which parodied various quizzes from multiple broadcasters, but was particularly vicious towards BBC Two's The Weakest Link.

In the Littlest Pet Shop (2012) episode "Blythe's Pet Project," the "My Small Squirrel" scene looks to be a parody of sister show My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic in the title and a character who resembles Rainbow Dash; and early iterations of Strawberry Shortcake in its Sickeningly Sweet dialogue. The characters who see it are in disbelief. | |

As two shows that hinge on obscure facts, The Unbelievable Truth and QI are delighted when they can catch the other out on something. The fact they have much the same guests just means they have someone to point it out to. | |

American Dad!: In "Jenny Fromdabloc", Roger's "Jenny" disguise involves him using a rubber ball as an impromptu vagina. When he washes it after having sex with Snot, he sees that it's actually a promotional item for Sons Of Tucson, a short-lived series that briefly took over the show's timeslot. | |

At the end of The Goodies and the Beanstalk, John Cleese makes a Cameo Appearance as a genie; Tim tells him to push off, at which point he shouts "Kids' programme!" and vanishes. And then Tim traps him in his lamp (a tin of beans) and they all laugh. | |

The show has made a good amount of jokes at the expense of fellow animated sitcom Bob's Burgers and its status as a critical darling. One notable swipe occurs in "Trump Guy", where Donald Trump calls it his favorite cartoon, with Peter warning the Emmy voters in the audience to remember that fact. | |

The Bullwinkle Show: During the brief period where the show was hosted by a Bullwinkle puppet, the moose often made jokes about Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color, which came after the show on NBC's Sunday night lineup. Another intro Bullwinkle mistakenly call his program The Loretta Young Show (which ended its run the previous season) before being pulled offscreen, allegedly by NBC president David Sarnoff. One animated segment gives us this gem: |

On Match Game '78, McLean Stevenson's daughter Jennifer was brought up on stage. Host Gene Rayburn asked if she knew the name of her dad's new show that fall (it was In The Beginning). She didn't. She was asked if she knew what network it was on. Again, she didn't know. Gene replied "It begins with a 'C'." Jennifer piped up "B.S.!" The audience and panel roared with laughter, and Gene commented "Jennifer...I think you're gonna be in showbiz..." | |

The Goodies' Star Safari Park in "Scatty Safari" includes four groaning Gumbies as an attraction, seen standing in the middle of the road accompanied by John Philip Sousa's "Liberty Bell" march (used as the theme to Monty Python's Flying Circus) as Graeme angrily gestures to them to clear the road. | |
