A pastiche is a work done In the Style of another artist. It may reflect a single work by a single artist, or a body of work by one or more artists, or even an entire genre. The difference between a Fan Fic, which reuses characters or settings from another work, and a pastiche, is that the pastiche copies the tone and flavor of its original. A work can, of course, be both a fanfic and a pastiche, but pastiche is all about the style.
A pastiche may be created as an homage to the original artist, or it may be intended as a gentle parody. The distinction is not important—although an exaggerated parody that did not actually reflect the style of the original would not be a pastiche. A pastiche which doesn't show some respect for the original would be a very difficult thing to pull off. Most pastiches are created in a spirit of fun, which can often make it hard to determine whether the creator intended parody or homage—or even, possibly, both. (An exception to the just-for-fun rule is in Academia, where a pastiche may be created as a Deconstruction of the original, but such works rarely reach—or are intended for—a broad audience.)
A good pastiche can be a hard thing to pull off, and many an excellent artist has crashed and burned in the attempt. Using someone else's style is simply not an easy thing, especially without avoiding accusations of They Copied It, So It Sucks!. In fact, it's often inevitable that good pastiches will still get this accusation. Nevertheless, a decent pastiche is enjoyable enough for both artist and audience that there is no shortage of artists willing to give it a try.

The Simpsons have often made pastiches of other animation styles:
"Steamboat Itchy" and "Manhattan Madness" were two Itchy and Scratchy cartoons stylistically similar to 1910s and 1920 cartoons of that era. The former specifically calls back to "Steamboat Willie", a very early Mickey Mouse short.
Another Itchy and Scratchy cartoon featuring the cat and mouse fighting Hitler is a stylistic homage to the World War II propaganda cartoons.
In "Krusty Gets Kancelled", Krusty is forced to briefly replace it with Worker and Parasite, "Eastern Europe's favorite cat and mouse team" — a surreal style parody of Soviet animation.
The end of "Jaws Wired Shut" where Homer saves Marge from a demolition derby is a pastiche of the 1930s Popeye cartoons by the Fleischer Studios.

Community regularly has an episode that is a pastiche of a particular genre. The most well-known are their paintball episodes: "Modern Warfare" is a pastiche of action movies, "A Fistful of Paintballs" does The Western and "For A Few Paintballs More" pastiches the Star Wars-esque "Ragtag Bunch of Misfits vs. The Empire" type of film. Also notable is "Contemporary American Poultry" (Mafia movies), "Epidemology" (Zombie Apocalypse) and "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons" (Heroic Fantasy). Later seasons also examples such as "Basic Lupine Urology" (Law & Order), "Basic Intergluteal Numismatics" (serial killers), and "Geothermal Escapism" (post-apocalyptic movies).

Shrek: Besides Fairy Tales, the spin-off movies Puss in Boots (2011) and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish draw heavily from swashbuckling adventure movies, including one of Puss' main inspirations, Zorro, as well as Spaghetti Westerns. The director of the latter film cited The Good, the Bad and the Ugly in particular as an influence.

The anthology series Batman: Black and White includes several examples:
"Batsman" is done in the style of a MAD Magazine parody.
"Batman with Robin the Boy Wonder" is drawn in the style of a Golden Age Batman comic and is written accordingly as well. Batman and Robin smile throughout the story, deliver wisecracks and best the villains via a clever scheme. The first page is a splash panel that looks like an old comic book cover, with the title appearing in the same style it used to on actual covers in those days.

Yuriota ni Yuri wa Gohatto Desu?!: A pastiche of Maria Watches Over Us, and other works in the "yuri in a Catholic girls' school" genre. Fuyu is a fan of these works, and she attends Oshibana hoping to see similar yuri happen "in the wild" — and it does — but the sudden appearance of a Gyaru Girl throws a wrench into her plans and threatens to upset her beautiful yuri-centric worldview.

Supernatural has a handful of pastiche episodes and title cards:
"Hell House" emulates found footage horror films, complete with camera abuse and partially effective censorship.
"Monster Movie" is a loving pastiche of old black-and-white horror films.
"Changing Channels" references Grey's Anatomy and CSI directly (at the time, they aired in the same timeslot as Supernatural). Other sections of the episode are pastiches of sitcoms, Japanese game shows, and public service announcements.
The title card for "Clap Your Hands If You Believe..." is an X-Files pastiche.

Each main game in Metal Gear pastiches Hollywood action movies:
Metal Gear is modelled after The Great Escape and contains a lot of 1940s elements that are discarded in later games.
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake is very mid-80s, with Comic-Book Fantasy Casting of 80s action luminaries like Mel Gibson, Tom Behrenger and Richard Krenna in the main roles of Snake, Fox and Campbell.
Metal Gear Solid resembles a late-80s-early-90s action movie with a 20 Minutes into the Future setting, an Evil Twin, a World of Ham, blue Mood Lighting, a gloomy Synthwave soundtrack, and Cyberpunk elements.
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is a late-90s-early-00s action movie with stylish green-tinted visuals and cerebral, philosophical themes, although it also heavily swipes from John Carpenter.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater was a pastiche of Sean Connery-era James Bond movies, mashed up with a lot of Rambo and Commando imagery.
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker derived influences from 1970s war movies, 70s anime, and a lot of Stanley Kubrick.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain looks like an 00s-10s thriller, with lots of Lens Flare, Shaky Cam and torture scenes.

Shirley is a pastiche of Shirley Jackson's work, which is also the main conflict and discussed numerous times. Of Shirley Jackson's own novels, with a lot of The Yellow Wallpaper in there. Two women are trapped in a house together like We Have Always Lived in the Castle. There's a lot of focus on cramped, interior spaces, similar to The Haunting of Hill House, as well as a Pseudo-Romantic Friendship that develops between Shirley and Rose, Rose is nearly Driven to Suicide on one of the rare scenes outside, and Shirley is portrayed as very agoraphobic. Meanwhile, Shirley convinces Rose to investigate the real-life disappearance that inspired Hangsaman (which she is also shown writing), and there are repeated scenes of Shirley dreaming that she is a witch and imagining various other religious rituals.rituals, which were also a major influence on The Lottery and several of Jackson's short stories.

Batman: The Animated Series episode "Joker's Favor", written by Paul Dini is an Homage to Alfred Hitchcock works, with Charlie Collins, an Everyman character that could be a Shout-Out to a young Alfred Hitchcock confronting The Joker and Batman. It shares a lot of the tropes that were part of the Alfred Hitchcock signature style: Action Survivor, Black Comedy, Creator Cameo, Dramatic Irony, Fade to Black, Hope Spot, MacGuffin/MacGuffin Title, The Oner, The Peeping Tom and Police Are Useless.

Decoder Ring Theatre:
The Red Panda Adventures is a pastiche of superheroes from The Great Depression and The '40s, like The Spirit and The Green Hornet. It centers on the masked mystery man, the Red Panda, who hides his identity as one of Toronto's wealthiest men while he defends his city from criminals in the midst of the Depression and World War II. Only his trusty driver and sidekick, Kit Baxter the Flying Squirrel, knows his true identity.
Black Jack Justice is a pastiche of Hardboiled Detective noir. Jack Justice and Trixie Dixon, Girl Detective, work for $35 a day, plus expenses, for anyone who walks through the palacial doors of Justice and Dixon. Private Eye Monologues abound as Jack and Trixie alternate between telling the story to the listeners and presenting the scenes as they happened.

Rango is a homage to Spaghetti Western films, full of references to classics of the genre with the twist of starring anthropomorphic Civilized Animals. It has many elements of those movies, such as a lone gunslinger arriving at a town taken by corruption and archetypes portrayed by different animals, and Western star Clint Eastwood is even referenced through the form of the Spirit of the West.

"Planet of Evil" is like Forbidden Planet, "Pyramids of Mars" and "The Brain of Morbius" are pure Hammer Horror, "The Deadly Assassin" borrows from The Manchurian Candidate and JFK assassination conspiracy theories, "The Robots of Death" is a mixture of Agatha Christie and Isaac Asimov's Baley/Olivaw books, and "The Talons of Weng-Chiang" mixes up Sherlock Holmes and Yellow Peril Exploitation Films.

The Legend of Total Drama Island (LTDI) is a pastiche of The Book of the Thousand and One Nights, specifically the Mardrus & Mathers translation. Although The 1,001 Nights is a prose work, some of the component stories have a good deal of poetry. LTDI somewhat duplicates this feel by insertion of (mostly famous) poems at various points where they fit or enhance the scene's mood. These poems are usually part of the narrative, but characters occasionally recite them in-universe.

On the other hand, the songs on the Homestar Runner album Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits almost all parody the genres they pastiche. For instance, lyrics like "Darkness... the fate of the world!" in "Moving Very Slowly" parody the overblown epic tone of much death metal, while "Circles" is one big bash on the typical college blues band.

Sherlock Holmes pastiches are too plentiful to count and have been around almost as long as the stories themselves. Common plots include attempts to explain Noodle Incidents such as the Giant Rat of Sumatra, deconstructions, and crossovers.
Stephen King wrote "The Doctor’s Case", using some of Arthur Conan Doyle's favorite themes: Abusive Parents, Asshole Victim, Empathic Environment (as a Plot Point!) and Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!. It presents us a Locked Room Mystery where it is The Watson, not the Great Detective, who solves the case, but only partially, because Good Cannot Comprehend Evil (showing us the relationship between the Amateur Sleuth and the Inspector Lestrade from other perspective). At the end, the culprit is Let Off by the Detective by Destroy the Evidence. However, The Watson has a case of I'm Having Soul Pains after solving the case, noticing for the first time that his partner amazing skill is Power at a Price, and that the culprits plan failed due to excessive reliance on tools, signaling Victorian London society as We Have Become Complacent.
August Derleth created a pastiche by way of expy in his Solar Pons series.

"Steamboat Itchy" and "Manhattan Madness" were two Itchy and Scratchy cartoons stylistically similar to 1910s and 1920 cartoons of that era. The former specifically calls back to "Steamboat Willie", a very early Mickey Mouse short.

City of Heroes is generally a loving pastiche of as many Super Hero tropes as it can fit in, sometimes straying into Affectionate Parody.

Frozen II: Kristoff's song "Lost in the Woods" is a pastiche of power ballads from The '80s, with the visuals heavily inspired by the music videos of bands like REO Speedwagon.

Future Reunion has a style extremely similar to Naoko Takeuchi, which makes the comic more enjoyable to read.
