Shout-Outs can reference pretty much anything — another person, another work of fiction, even another episode of the same show. One very popular target is to call back to the show's own opening sequence. Because a show's opening is well-known to the viewers, the joke requires relatively no setup. It's an instant punchline. For another thing, it nods towards the fact that the show is, in fact, a show, and that certain things are always the same, without fully breaking stride.
When done with the show's theme song (or other music from its soundtrack), it's Diegetic Soundtrack Usage.

Tuca & Bertie: In the Cold Open for "Bird Mechanics," Bertie's (unhelpful) new therapist tells Bertie to cut Tuca out of her life, remarking that "[their] names sound wrong together." She then repeats their names together ("Tuca and Bertie, Tuca and Bertie, Bertie and Tuca?") in the exact same manner as the theme song, which starts playing right after her dialogue to make the reference clear.

Upon defeating Galacta Knight and clearing Meta Knightmare Ultra in Kirby Super Star Ultra, you'll unlock a hidden video, "Fly! Meta Knight." It is, in its entirety, the KSSU opening video - except that, instead of Kirby, Meta Knight flies through Dream Land.
Also, if the last mode you played before shutting off the game was Meta Knightmare Ultra, the regular opening video will be replaced by this upon turning it on again.

Bojack Horseman
The episode "It's You" has Bojack drunkenly drive a car that was in his living room in reverse into the pool, at which point he had to be revived by Mr. Peanutbutter. This mirrors the sequence in the opening sequence where he drunkenly falls backwards into the pool, to the shock and worry of Diane and Mr. Peanutbutter.
The episode "Stupid Piece Of Shit" has one of Bojack's Inner Monologues involve his assumed daughter, but in reality half-sister, Hollyhock drowning in a pool in the same manner as the intro.
The episode "The View from Halfway Down" also has Bojack falling into his pool while drunk. However, it's more dire since the episode is Bojack's Dying Dream since he's drowning with nobody around to help him. And that he didn't fall, he willingly went in to drown.

Samurai Jack
In "Jack's Sandals", Jack meets a traditional Japanese family, whose children are huge fans of Jack. The son quotes the theme song, even going "Wah-chout!"
In the episode "Jack and the Baby", while looking for the baby's parents, Jack arrives in the city with the blue creatures wearing fezzes from the intro.
In episode "CI", Aku plays the original intro to the show, Mako narration and all, to the world as a lead-in to his announcement that Jack has been captured and will soon be executed. This is a rare example of this trope being played for drama.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (a fan of all forms of Breaking the Fourth Wall):
There's an episode where Will goes back to West Philadelphia, where he fights an old bully who he describes as the "dude who be spinnin' me over his head in the opening credits."
In a more subtle example, the show's pilot begins exactly where the opening credits end, with Will first at the doorstep of his aunt and uncle.

The Ghost and Molly McGee:
In "Perfect Day", Molly, after stepping in a puddle, asks, "Is there a way to hit restart?" and prepares to hit the rewind button on a video player, only for Scratch to tell her, "Nope." This is a reversal of the theme song, where it's Scratch who asks the question and Molly who tells him no.
In "The End", Scratch and Molly quote the theme song just before he reunites with his original human body:

Dexter:
In the second-season finale, we see the title character go through almost the exact same morning routine as is shown in the opening credits. He shaves, prepares breakfast and embraces his life.
In the fourth season premiere, Dexter does several of the same actions from the opening, but after losing much sleep from raising his son, his usual routine is "off".

The Simpsons often does this.
In "Cape Feare", when the Simpsons go into the witness protection program mid-show, a new opening for "The Thompsons" is run, styled after the normal opening.
In "Hurricane Neddy", an opening for "The Hurricane" plays when a hurricane hits Springfield. This one lacked the Couch Gag, though.
In "Lisa's Date with Density", Lisa is punished by writing on the chalkboard in detention, resulting in her saying...
Similarly, in "Grift of the Magi", Lisa gets in trouble for studying different subjects in class, so we cut to her writing the lines "I will not do math in class" in a shot similar to that showing Bart in the opening.
In "Skinner's Sense of Snow", Bart forces Skinner to write "I ain't not a dorkus" (which Skinner calls "a grammatical nightmare"). Bart also shows little sympathy to Skinner's complaints about a cramp in his wrist, demonstrating that all his years of doing it have left Bart with a wrist that "sounds like a cement mixer".
In "Please Homer, Don't Hammer 'Em", Bart once again forces Skinner to write lines ("A baby beat me up") after discovering that he is allergic to peanuts and threatening him with one, in a similar shot to the opening.
Done again in "Marge vs. Singles, Seniors, Childless Couples and Teens and Gays". Maggie has gotten addicted to an annoying children's song, and Bart tries to stay at school so he doesn't have to hear it. He begs Mrs. Krabappel to make him write some convoluted standard on the blackboard; she responds with "We all got tired of that chalkboard years ago!"
In "Mathlete's Feat", Bart begins writing "I will not", when the chalkboard is taken out and replaced by a high-tech smartboard. Bart writes "I will not fight the future", and taps it twice to fill up the entire board. He double-taps it to invert the colors a few times, then walks out, satisfied.
Discussed in "Adventures in Baby-Getting", Bart is suspicious of where Lisa is going after school (it turns out to be a cursive writing class). He asks what she does Tuesdays and Thursdays after school — Lisa asks the same question back.
Lisa's segment in "Simpsons Bible Stories" features an Ancient Egyptian Bart chiseling pictograms (it translates to "I will not deface—") onto a stone chalkboard.
Also referenced in "The Parent Rap". "Nobody reads these anymore."
Done again in "The Heartbroke Kid", when Bart is overweight after the school installs candy machines. Instead of writing lines, he's feeding the machine, then the bell rings, there's the usual quick pan to the main doors... and we wait because he's so much slower now. As he skateboards, the sidewalk breaks under his weight, and when he finally makes it home, he takes forever to make it inside before finally collapsing from a heart attack.
In "Peeping Mom", Bart tries to get away from a stalking Marge. Like in the HD opening, he rides his skateboard past Sideshow Bob, Helen Lovejoy, Apu and his kids, Moe, Comic Book Guy, Disco Stu, Crazy Cat Lady, Rich Texan and Chief Wiggum, while Marge rides a bike over Moleman (she couldn't use the car because Homer threw the carburetor at a skunk). Afterwards, Moe says that they can all go inside his bar now that he's passed them again.
Midway through "Little Big Girl", Bart writes "So long, suckers" on the chalkboard and exits driving Homer's car. After running down pedestrians on the street, it cuts to the garage scene, where Homer is now driving Marge's orange car. As he gets out, Bart lands the car on top of him.
Similarly to the “Cape Feare� and Hurricane Neddy� examples, “At Long Last Leave� had a special “The Outlands� version of the opening played by Alison Krauss and Union Station, which plays after the Simpsons are banished to the outlands, complete with Couch Gag.
A pivotal plot point in "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie" is that Maggie, who in the intro briefly appears to be driving Marge's car, actually ends up at the wheel after Bart takes his eyes off her for two seconds.
In the "Treehouse Of Horror III" segment "Dial 'Z' For Zombie", the introductory shot of the Springfield Pet Cemetary◊ is similar to the opening titles shot of the Springfield Cemetary◊ used in the first 5 "Treehouse Of Horror" specials.

Justice League:
When the Leaguers, Western heroes, and Chronos confront Tobias in "The Once and Future Thing, Part One: Weird Western Tales", it briefly homages the original opening to the show with a shot of them walking down the street with the sun behind them.

Teen Titans Go!: The episode "Intro" starts with the show's intro playing again, but the Titans take a pause when they realize something was wrong, and Robin encourages them to stick to the script until they can find out what's happening. During the dance sequence, they spot that Control Freak has joined in the dance, and confront him. He explains that he's using his remote to trap the Titans in the intro, preventing their show from ever starting, thus preserving the reputation of the original show. The Titans chase him through what remains of the intro sequence, and through several other intro sequences.

Rocko's Modern Life:
In "Fortune Cookie", Filburt, who is cursed with bad luck, decides to go on with playing on the game show he was chosen for. Naturally, when he spins the wheel, it goes off its hinges and starts to go on a rolling rampage of destruction, running over various scenes, including the last part of the opening sequence (where everybody's chasing Rocko), cutting off the theme song as it does so.
Also parodied in the end of "Heff in a Handbasket" where Peaches is starring in a cartoon show "Peaches' Modern Life."
In "Boob Tubed", a small snippet of the theme song is played while Heffer is channel surfing.
Static Cling sees Rocko, Heffer, and Filburt going through an modernized version of the intro during their montage of getting used to the new O-Town.

In an episode of Planetes, Hachimaki gets "space sickness" and starts losing his mind. One of his hallucinations is of him riding a bike, as he does in the ending theme.

Sesame Street
One sketch features Don Music trying to rewrite the theme song, frustrated that he can't find anything to rhyme with "sweet".
In the opening of the film Follow That Bird, upon hearing that Big Bird has no legal guardians, Miss Finch goes off to find him, asking one of the fellow executives at the foster care board "Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?", which is then followed by a shot of the street set built for the film, accompanied by an orchestral version of the iconic theme song.

One of the more bizarre examples occurs in Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go where Gyrus Krinkle imagines himself in Chiro's position from the show's opening narration, while wearing a foam head bearing Chiro's likeness.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Jake's plan in the final two episodes was to end the heist at the Brooklyn Bridge, claiming that it has great sentimental value for the team. When Amy asks when they were ever at the Bridge, the camera cuts to the Team Power Walk shot from the title sequence, with the bridge in the background.

Nyaruko: Crawling with Love! actually turns this into a Running Gag, where the first episode of each series will have Nyarko quote a line from the previous series' theme song; for the first anime season, she quotes the theme from the Flash-animated web series Nyaruani. The final OVA does this with both the first and the second season's openings in the same sentence.

The Futari wa Pretty Cure opening features a shot in which Honoka is sitting on her porch, looking up at the night sky. One episode ended with a shot that was almost identical, except she was curled up and crying. (In a borderline case, there's also a specific scene of Cure Black and Cure White leaping that ended up being used as a piece of stock animation.)
Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash★Star's opening momentarily shows Mai, Flappi and Choppi at the beach, with Flappi being pinched by a crab. Naturally, this ended up actually happening to him when they actually went to the beach.
Yes! Pretty Cure 5 GoGo used a brief clip of Urara's mother onstage that's very similar to the one of Urara herself from the first season's opening.
The aforementioned stock animation piece of Cure Black and White leaping was used in the opening for the first All-Stars movie... and during the scene which it happens, the camera pans to all the other Cures (or at least the ones that everyone knew about when the movie was released) leaping with them.
The scene is done again in All-Stars DX 3, expanding the number of leaping Cures to 21.
The opening for HeartCatch Pretty Cure! shows Tsubomi and Erika walking to school and talking. They actually use that scene - at the very end of the series.
The Movie for Smile Pretty Cure! will give away a card featuring Miyuki in the exact same Cinderella dress she imagines herself in during the opening.
Also, episode 39 through 43 will show the stances we see the characters during the opening after the title is shown.
Pretty Cure All Stars New Stage has one scene where Cure Peace is bowing profusely to Cure Melody. It's a nod to Smile's ending credits where Peace does that towards March for landing on her. The movie's ending also has the Fresh, Heartcatch and Suite teams performing the last little bit of their first credits dance, even if they didn't do it in the original.

The scene with Poseidon in the opening eventually resulted in an episode getting made specifically to feature it.
In the episode "The Greater Good", Xena is incapacitated and Gabrielle has to take her place. She pulls on Xena's armour in the same way Xena does in the opening titles, complete with title music.

In the American Dad! episode "Stan Goes On the Pill", the scene where Francine crashes into the CIA exterior sign mimics the show's opening sequence.
In fact, multiple episodes show that Stan and the family actually do everything they're shown doing in the opening as part of Stan's morning routine.
In "Persona Assistant" Stan berates Roger for ruining his "good morning song", and midway through the episode, Stan gets out of bed to sing his "good morning song" when he realizes that the city has descended into anarchy because he failed to appear as one of Roger's personas. He is on the verge of tears as he tries singing "Good morning, USA."
In "Exquisite Corpses" midway through the episode, Stan is about to sing the theme song again, but Francine interrupts him telling him to sing the quiet version since she has a headache.

An ending theme variant is done in one of the last scenes, referencing the fifth ending, "Type: Wild": Ash sets off on a new adventure in new shoes while a shot shows his old worn-out pair waiting for him at home, matching up with lyrics in the ending where the singer recalls their favorite pair of shoes that they've walked everywhere in.

The Powerpuff Girls (1998): In the episode "Oops, I Did It Again," after the Professor tiredly accepts his fate as the "accidental professor," the beginning of the subsequent Dream Sequence is like the opening of the show, except there's no accidental injection of Chemical X, and the girls turn out to be the "Run of the Mill Girls," who "dedicate their lives to just hanging around and doing nothing extraordinary." Unlike most of the examples here, this one is a more complete replicate of the opening, even including a "Created by the Professor" credit in place of Craig McCracken.

Arthur:
In "And Now Let's Talk to Some Kids", Mr. Ratburn's class is going to be on TV, and Francine doesn't think Brain will be very entertaining. An Imagine Spot shows Brain in the show's intro. He begins "walking down the street" like the intro usually begins, but he quickly stops to sit down and think, halting the song.
Later in the same episode, Buster takes the place of Arthur when he's in the TV and says "Hey! D.W.!" and she yells "Hey!". Instead of falling backwards, Buster falls forward and out of the TV. This prompts D.W. to exclaim that she was right and tiny people do live inside the TV.
In "The Frensky Family Fiasco", Francine appears in the intro instead of Arthur. Arthur stops her, and Francine argues that she should be able to open the show since Arthur always does. Buster and D.W. want to host the opening, too.
In "The Making of Arthur", Matt Damon wants to make Arthur into a real TV show. The first thing he records is a shot of Arthur walking down the street with Pal... which describes the first part of the theme song.
"Arthur's Toy Trouble" begins with a shot of Arthur walking on top of the Earth (mirroring a shot at the end of the theme song), until he suddenly stops and notices a present in his backyard.
In "The Shore Thing", Arthur's family and classmates take a trip to the beach. Sue Ellen is scared by Mr. Ratburn swimming by, mistaking his nose for a shark fin. Something similar happens in the show's theme song, but with Brain getting scared instead.
In "D.W., Dancing Queen", Binky gives D.W. some advice on how to dance. It turns out to be lyrics from the show's Theme Tune.

Animaniacs (2020):
While trying to solve the mystery of what happened to Wakko's donuts, Yakko suggests that they go back the beginning. Smash cut to the beginning of the opening theme, which makes Yakko confused and stops the theme song.
In the Season 3 premiere, Nora, now a security guard, successfully locks the Warners in their tower. Dot complains, "You know, this really isn't much of a show when they take away the plot where 'we break loose and then vamoose,'" referencing the Expository Theme Tune.

The Seitokai Yakuindomo movie does this twice. When Shino is being interviewed at the beginning, the last part of her speech that the audience hears is "Are you aware of the meaning of cherry blossoms?", which the first line of the second season's opening. Then in the post-credits scene, she's seen standing under a cherry blossom tree in the exact same pose as the second season's credits.

Steven Universe:
In "The New Crystal Gems", Connie, Lapis, Peridot, and Pumpkin stand in for the Crystal Gems while they're out. When they run out to investigate potential trouble, they reenact the sequence from the show's first opening, with the Gems running while Steven/Connie rushes from the back of the line to the front.
In "Change Your Mind", the Crystal Gems recreate the campfire from the second opening at the end. The last shot of the series is the gang sitting together as Steven plays his ukulele.
Steven Universe: The Movie has the Gems reenact the first opening's running sequence again during "Happily Ever After", this time with Steven starting at the front.

Done again in the sixth season "The Duh Vinci Code", as an extended The Da Vinci Code parody takes the crew to Rome. Their arrival in "Future-Roma" is a brief homage to their own credit sequence, including an ecclesiastical version of the show's theme.

Phineas and Ferb:
In the episode "Oil on Candace," the boys help a friend paint a giant painting on a sand dune while an instrumental version of the theme song plays. One of the tools they use are the giant helicopter-mounted paint rollers used during the "painting a continent" part of the title sequence.
This bit from "Swiss Family Phineas":
In "Canderemy" when Phineas and Ferb make a giant robotic dog (also in the opening), but Buford wanted to give a monkey a shower.
In "Fireside Girls Jamboree," one of the merit badges Candace earns is for "discovering something that doesn't exist," in this case a puppy-dog-eyed version of the unicorn/turtle thing from the appropriate part of the opening.
In "Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo," Bowling for Soup show up and perform a bit from the extended version of the show's Theme Tune, when a time traveling Phineas and Ferb are explaining to their future nephews what they could be doing during summer.
In "Last Train to Bustville," Phineas spots a dodo (created by Doofenshmirtz's newest machine) and produces a list containing everything mentioned in the theme song, then checks it off. Buford then claims that he found Frankenstein's brain in the basket of his balloon.
In "Norm Unleashed," Phineas and Ferb build a colony of remote-controlled nano-bots and make them spell out the words "HELLO THERE!" to which Buford responds "Yeah, yeah, main title, whatever."
In The Movie, the song "Summer (Where Do We Begin?)" briefly segues into the opening theme.

Done several times in The Simpsons:
A Bart Simpson story has the family cat Snowball II gaining superpowers after swallowing a plutonium rod—specifically, the one Homer threw out his car window after finding it caught in his shirt collar.
"Cloud 13," a one-page story in Treehouse of Horror #15, depicts the show's intro sequence as a recurring nightmare experienced by the whole family, pointing out Fridge Horror aspects of the situations they're in (and depicting the checkout guy who scans Maggie as a demonic entity from the neck up).
The Simpsons Futurama Crossover Crisis: The second miniseries references Futurama's theme sequence when the heroes are using a giant TV to distract the giant Homer:

When the Show Within a Show does air, it has an "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune courtesy of Dedede that parodies the actual show's own.

The Loud House:
In The Loud House Movie, Morag quotes the theme song while complaining to Angus about the Louds' presence at the castle.
Also in the same movie, the montage of the Louds enjoying the royal life after Lincoln is crowned Duke is set to a Scottish remix of the theme song, titled "Loud Castle".
In "Save Royal Woods!", the song "Right Where We Belong" has a brief segment where all ten Loud sisters are in eight boxes with Lincoln in the center (Lori is shown on Leni's phone, and Lana and Lola are in the same box due to being twins), shaded in their theme colors like in the theme song.

The Angry Video Game Nerd:
The theme tune begins with "He's gonna take you back to the past / To play the shitty games that suck ass":
An episode featuring Kyle Justin (who wrote and performs the theme) has him singing it at the very end, with the Nerd commenting "You bet your ass!" The episode also implies that the song was written because Justin was living behind the Nerd's couch since the start of the series, and overheard some of his reviews, incorporating them into the lyrics.

Solar Opposites:
In "The Sacred Non-Repeating Number," Terry and Korvo meet another Shlorpian crew on Earth who behave in a much more competent and traditional manner. The give their backstory in a similar manner to the sequence that Korvo narrates at the start of every episode, but without the sardonic tone.
While standing in a long line at the start of "Pupa's Big Day," Korvo tells Terry they have to get back to the ship so he can show Terry the video of their homeworld exploding that they watch every day. Terry says he just has it on his phone, and plays the entire expository theme sequence on his phone while he and Korvo just watch and comment.
"99 Ships" also describes the opening sequence as something Korvo tells his family every day, with Jesse leading into it to set up the plot. Even the synopsis reads, "WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THOSE SHIPS FROM THE OPENING SEQUENCE?!"
"The Unwanted Personification of Terry" ends with the newly human Solars escaping to a new planet in a similar manner as the title sequence, complete with crashing the ship into a home for sale.

In Pokémon: I Choose You!, during a dream Ash has after losing his first battle, one of the characters answers his question of what's out there by saying that there's grass, water, forests, clouds and ground, a reference to the film's theme song "Mezase Pokémon Master". Surprisingly, this was kept in the dubbed version of the film despite said version using a different song.

In the Danger Mouse episode "Groundmouse Day", Count Duckula is controlling time from the Westminster clock tower, and uses this to frame DM for his crimes. Penfold uses the same time machine to travel back to the start of the adventure, but repeatedly finds that nothing he does makes a difference. He then realises he needs to travel back even earlier, and ends up in the opening credits, where he seizes control of the Danger Car in the "driving past London landmarks" bit and drives it to the clock to confront Duckula before his plan has even started.

SpongeBob SquarePants:
In the special "Truth or Square", the intro is talked about when the special mentions that SpongeBob was not the original starring character for the show. The theme song is briefly shown in three different variants; one with Squidward, another with Patrick, and a third with Mr. Krabs. All three of them fail to make it through the song, hence why SpongeBob was chosen.
In the episode "Unreal Estate" the intro repeats thrice as SpongeBob briefly imagines himself living in a few different houses. The first is a banana, followed by a hot pepper, followed by a chicken parmesan hero. In each situation he finds something wrong. He slips on a banana peel in the banana, comes out of the hot pepper on fire, and becomes fat and out of shape within the chicken sandwich. He rejects all three houses.
In "Old Man Patrick", SpongeBob helps Patrick remember who he is by re-enacting the opening theme.
In the episode "Handemonium", after several failures to stop the now-living Chum Bucket glove, Plankton tells SpongeBob to "keep his pants on", which gives him an idea. SpongeBob then proceeds to remove his pants (to Plankton's chagrin) and sings the first line of the theme song, summoning Hans the live-action hand to give him his pants, as he does when SpongeBob opens his front door during the opening. He then asks Hans to assist them in defeating the glove (because, as Plankton soon realizes, to beat a giant glove, you need an equally huge hand).
In "Salty Sponge", the theme song is reprised as a song about the Softy Spitoon.
In "Gary's Playhouse", SpongeBob sings "Who lives in a playhouse under the sea?" to Gary in the same tune as the theme song.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
The picture of the Mane Six that Spike sends to Celestia in the opening is also located above Twilight's fireplace in the season 3 finale.
The end of the opening sequence is essentially recreated at the end of "Crusaders of the Lost Mark".
In "The Last Problem", Twilight sings that she "used to wonder what friendship could be" during the final song of the series, "The Magic of Friendship Grows". The accompanying sequence also counts in a roundabout way: it begins with Twilight meeting up with her friends, shows what all of Equestria's residents do throughout the day, gives the Mane Six time to show off their interests, and ends on a picture of all of them together.

Doctor Who:
Any appearance of the Time Vortex in-episode during Russell T. Davies' tenure as showrunner, since the Title Sequence of that era was the TARDIS travelling through the Vortex.
"The Pandorica Opens" has a title sequence-adjacent shot of the TARDIS, piloted by River, flying through the Vortex while being struck by lightning.
"Time Heist" opens with a glimpse of the opening credits, which usually don't air until after the teaser... and is immediately revealed to come from the Doctor looking into Clara's tumble dryer.

In Elena of Avalor, the intro is consists of moments derived from the first episode (Elena and co. versus the Noblins, Elena and her abuelo singing and dancing while their family looks on, Elena and co. in the throne room) and a Season 2 short (Elena riding away from the palace with Canela, Elena fighting a thief on a runaway carriage and being rescued by Skylar).
The Grand Finale re-enacts the final sequence of the intro, with Elena greeting a crowd of guests in her throne room and lighting up the Scepter of Light while surrounded by her friends and family at the throne...and then she messes up her crown.

In Flight of the Conchords, when Jemaine gets a girlfriend, the montage of them together shows her timing him on his exercise bike, which Bret had done for him in the opening. Then a lonely Bret is shown timing nobody.

The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack: In "Two Old Men and A Lock Box", when Richard and Michard start to explain how they came to be in their current predicament, we are treated to new version of the opening credits and theme song that identifies Richard and Michard as the K'nuckles and Flapjack of their generation. Hilariously sang off-key and without the music matching the voices or the new names.

Pretty Cure All Stars New Stage has one scene where Cure Peace is bowing profusely to Cure Melody. It's a nod to Smile's ending credits where Peace does that towards March for landing on her. The movie's ending also has the Fresh, Heartcatch and Suite teams performing the last little bit of their first credits dance, even if they didn't do it in the original.

In the first-season finale "Loose Ends", a drug dealer that Michael is threatening wants to know who he is; Michael, in no mood for a cover ID, simply quotes his opening narration: "I'm Michael Westen. I used to be a spy." It gets a Call-Back four seasons later in "Enemy of My Enemy", when the dealer shows up again; one of his henchmen demands to know who the hell Michael is, and the dealer repeats the line.

XY has an ending shout-out for Serena's Master Class showdown with Aria — the start of it mimics the start of the third XY ending song, "DreamDream", only now Fennekin has evolved and Sylveon has joined the ranks. To top it off, the BGM during the performance is the same song (slightly remixed) and sung by Serena's seiyuu.

To top it off, the BGM during the performance is the same song (slightly remixed) and sung by Serena's seiyuu.
In Pokémon: I Choose You!, during a dream Ash has after losing his first battle, one of the characters answers his question of what's out there by saying that there's grass, water, forests, clouds and ground, a reference to the film's theme song "Mezase Pokémon Master". Surprisingly, this was kept in the dubbed version of the film despite said version using a different song.
Ash's final season, To Be a Pokémon Master, is called Mezase Pokémon Master in Japanese after the series' first opening theme. An ending theme variant is done in one of the last scenes, referencing the fifth ending, "Type: Wild": Ash sets off on a new adventure in new shoes while a shot shows his old worn-out pair waiting for him at home, matching up with lyrics in the ending where the singer recalls their favorite pair of shoes that they've walked everywhere in.

The South Park episode "Chef Aid" features guest appearances by many artists and bands, including Primus, the band that composed and performed the theme song. It is Les Claypool's only appearance in the show... apart from being seen in the intro for the first four seasons, and being heard singing the theme song in every season, that is.

Adventure Time:
The opening pages of the first issue replicate the show's opening flight over the Land of Ooo, with the implication that Jake is filming it with a video camera. The next couple of pages include Jake jumping on Finn's head and Finn riding a giant Jake through the mountains, replicating the first two sequences of the credit sequence proper. Later in the arc, the opening flight is replicated with Scenery Gorn to show the effects of the Lich's attack.
Inverted with the opening pages of Ryan North's final issue, which have Finn and Jake watching insects and challenging Marceline to write a song about them, which refers to the show's closing credits and the lyrics of its closing theme, "Island Song".

Family Guy:
In the episode "Vestigial Peter", Peter is outraged when his vestigial twin brother Chip joins the family in singing the theme song.
In another episode, in one of his drunken stupors, Peter makes a nod to the controversy regarding the lyric "laugh and cry" being misheard as "f-ing cry".
In Disney's The Reboot, one of the potential reboots the show gets includes Chris married to Tricia Takanawa and living together. The "reboot" begins with the theme song, with only Chris, Joe and Bonnie making appearances and Chris singing his lines.
In a parody of this, one episode has a Cutaway Gag where fellow Seth MacFarlane show American Dad! has its intro redone with Family Guy's Joe Swanson replacing Stan Smith.
In "All About Alana", as a sign of Alana's growing obsession with taking Lois' place, at one point she's shown practicing Lois' part on the piano, complete with camera angles.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend:
In the episode "That Text Was Not Meant for Josh!", when Paula starts telling her husband about Rebecca, they quote the entire first season opening, complete with the show's title appearing at the end of the scene (this was set up by the fact that the regular theme and title were not where they were supposed to be).
The lyrics of the Season 2 theme song ("I'm just a girl in love / I can't be held responsible for my actions / I have no underlying issues to address / I'm certifiably cute and adorably obsessed!") are quoted in the Season 2 finale during a flashback to Rebecca's court case for setting her professor and ex-lover's house on fire, when Naomi pleads for leniency ("She's just a girl in love. She can't be held responsible for her actions!") and Rebecca rejects court-mandated therapy ("I have no underlying issues to address").
Season 3's theme song ends with Rebecca in the bathroom watching the theme song on her phone and reacting with a Flat "What". This ends up being a scene in the show proper, in the episode "Josh is Irrelevant."
Season 2's theme sequence makes an appearance in Season 3, when Trent does his own, genderbent rendition.
The series finale musical number "Eleven O'Clock" features short reprises of several songs from the series, with Rebecca gazing upon the outfits she wore in those musical numbers. The first three songs she references are the Season 1, 2, and 3 theme songs. The Season 4 theme song and its accompanying outfit are the last to appear, though Rebecca doesn't sing along and simply looks upon the outfit.
The series finale also has Rebecca reference the Season 4 theme song, "Meet Rebecca!", in her ending monologue.

Burn Notice

I used to be a spy." It gets a Call-Back four seasons later in "Enemy of My Enemy", when the dealer shows up again; one of his henchmen demands to know who the hell Michael is, and the dealer repeats the line.
A fourth season episode has Michael, asked to state his name and occupation for a polygraph, respond "My name is Michael Westen. I used to be a spy."
In the series finale, Fiona ("Shall we shoot them?") and Sam ("You know spies: bunch of bitchy little girls") quote their lines from the opening sequence. The final line of the show is Fiona suggesting "My name is Michael Westen. I used to be a spy" as a starting point when Michael tells his story to his nephew/adopted son Charlie.

In the opening narrationnote See the series page to read it of Remington Steele, Laura recounts how she "invented a superior...", how a charming conman stepped in and assumed the Steele identity, and how "now I do the work and he takes the bows."
In one episode, she needs to convince someone that she wants to betray her boss, which she does by complaining "I do the work, he takes the bows. The guy wouldn't even exist without me, I practically invented him!"
When character Mildred Krebs joined the cast, she was unaware that Steele was secretly a fraud — until the next season's premiere episode, when Laura snaps and tells Mildred the whole story. Not only does her explanation draw heavily from that opening narration, but it also recaps the pilot episode.

OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes
In "OK Dendy! Let's Be KO", Dendy's transformation into KO is done in the style of the last few seconds of the intro.
In the second part of "You're in Control", after Boxman is shot into space by Lord Cowboy Darrell, we can see the "OK KO" and "A CARTOON NETWORK ORIGINAL" text from the intro in the background. "Let's Fight 'Till The End" further confirms that the text from the intro really does physically exist in-universe, floating next to the planet in space.
In the Distant Finale "Thank You For Watching the Show", Dendy references the theme song's lyric "you fight 'till the end, you are my best friend" nearly word-for-word.
