When a work or set of works that appeared to stand on its own in Real Life turns out to be fiction Very Loosely Based on a True Story in its greater universe. Spider-Man exists, and he knows people make comic books about his exploits, but they aren't necessarily accurate.
Occasionally, the producers of a new production in an existing universe want to tie it in with the current real life present, but face the problem of trying to get people to believe it's set in the real world when they obviously have the fictional product right before them.
So: Why not make that explicit? Simply make the series itself a fictionalized account of real events.
The problem this causes is that you're left with several onion-like layers of canon: That presented in the original show, and that presented in the new show presenting the original show as fiction, and of course, that of the actual real world.
This often leads to Retcon, Mind Screw, or "Rashomon"-Style, and may even allow the characters to criticize the author or the work itself. More casually they may jocularly inform the audience or the Audience Surrogate that it's not quite how it really happened, and that the story you've been reading contains some stretchers, to be sure.
This trope is related to the Direct Line to the Author with a touch of Retcon and Story Within A Story for good measure. In the case of a fictional character being the cause of a real-world or alternate canon event, see Been There, Shaped History. See also Celebrity Paradox.
Developer's Room is a subtrope specific to video games where the player can encounter the developers who programmed the game.
Often overlaps with A True Story in My Universe. Because there seems to be some confusion between Recursive Canon and Direct Line to the Author, the distinction is as follows:
If the creator is claiming that they had transcribed/retold a story told to them by one of the characters in real life, it is Direct Line to the Author.
If the FANS claim that the story was transcribed/retold by the creator from one of the characters in real life, it's Literary Agent Hypothesis.
If the characters within the work claim that the work is a (perhaps fictionalized) record of events, it is A True Story in My Universe.
Anytime the work appears within the work (regardless of if the characters say anything), then that is a Recursive Canon.
In a particular Mind Screw, if the author is not going for clarity, the work of fiction may actually create the rest of the work, or the world of the work may "exist" inside it; this is a version known as Transfictionality. The real version of the characters may discover the fictional version of the real work, or vice versa. The author may even imply that the fictionalized version is no more fictional than the outer layer, or that both shows are fictional to each other in a stable fictional loop.
Compare with Recursive Fanfiction, where a work of fanfiction becomes so popular it starts spawning its own fanfiction, and the levels are now of fandoms rather than verses.
A subtrope of Recursive Reality. See also Celebrity Paradox, Daydream Believer, "Rashomon"-Style, Mutually Fictional, Who Writes This Crap?!, Who Would Want to Watch Us?.
Not to be confused with Canon Immigrant.

Thursday Next has this in spades. Two different fictional versions of Thursday — i.e., the character we observed in earlier books — play a role in the fifth book of the series. On top of that, the Thursday Next series is mutually recursive with the same author's Nursery Crime series, in that each book is fictional within the context of the other. The sixth TN book exaggerates this by revealing that all five of the previous books were the in-universe fictionalized versions, and in some cases bear no resemblance to what actually happened.

El Chapulín Colorado comic books exist in El Chavo del ocho. Chavo and Quico once discussed a Chapulin episode where a villain painted himself invisible. (Said episode was real) And the two series did have a crossover. Don Ramon was reading a Chapulin comic in a Chapulin episode.

Hi and Lois: This is one possible interpretation of the November 10th, 2018 strip. When Ditto is asked if his pancake looks like a "cartoon character", he says that it resembles Beetle Bailey. Not only is Hi and Lois a Spin-Off of Beetle Bailey, but Ditto is Beetle's nephew. But if there was a cartoon in the strip's universe based on the "real" Beetle, Ditto's statement would make sense. (Given the lack of context, this might be Medium Awareness instead.)

Digimon:
C'mon Digimon, the first Digimon work of fiction besides the virtual pets themselves, is about holographic technology that lets people see and hear the monsters inside the toys as if they were like real animals. Digimon V-Tamer 01, the first serialized manga in the franchise, has the same pets as C'Mon and a cameo from the C'Mon villain, but goes on to show actual Digimon existing that look nothing like the holograms, as noted by a main character. These monsters live in a world separate from Earth that God forbid humans to visit unless there was a problem the native monsters could not handle on their own.
Digimon Tamers establishes early on that a version of the Digimon franchise exists in the world, which is later revealed to have been created after a group of bankrupt computer scientists sold to a toy company the designs and concept of, you guessed it, the prototypical digital life forms they created which evolved to become the real Digimon and associated world which form the premise of the series. Merchandise exists of said franchise, most prominently the card game, and it's implied that an anime series starring an Agumon as the lead exists (which is only implied to be the same as the real life Digimon Adventure in the original version, while in the dub more explicit references were added).
Digimon Universe: App Monsters takes a slightly similar approach, though theirs is more of a halfway example. This universe has digital monsters in it, but they're a new variety called Appmon and are based on smartphone applications as well as having their own way of evolving into differently-named higher forms. We find out in a 20th anniversary, however, that a fictional Digimon video game by the title of "Digimon Universe" exists, and that the main character played it when he was younger. The plot of the game seems to mirror that of Digimon Adventure, and when Agumon is brought to life from the game, his role is reprised by Chika Sakamoto.

Nathan and Elena can be seen playing Crash Bandicoot in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. In the PS4 version of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Coco can be seen watching Nathan and Elena playing Crash at the start of Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. Try wrapping your head around that.

In RENT, during "La Vie Boheme," Mark mentions "Musetta's Waltz" by name. This means that La Bohème exists within the world of RENT, which is loosely based on it, right down to most of the characters having similar or even the same names.

In earlier games, mostly the first and second generation, you can find NPCs playing Pokémon on a Game Boy. For an extra level of strangeness, trading a Pokémon with one of them produces the usual animation of a link cable connecting two consoles, as if you've physically linked your real Game Boy to their virtual one. The Let's Go remakes made a Mythology Gag out of this with a floor in Celadon Department Store selling Switch consoles, Pokémon Quest, and a game suspiciously similar to the one you're playing.

The reviewers of Channel Awesome encounter all sorts of crazy stuff in their videos, but all this is forgotten in the annual Massive Multiplayer Crossover film featuring them all, where it appears that the characters actually live in (more or less) the real world; Nostalgia Chick, Linkara, Spoony et al really go by those names, and are employed by TGWTG to make the videos on the site. It is brought back around in the fourth anniversary, To Boldly Flee. Linkara's space ship and Joe's space station are involved in the plot, the reviewers are menaced by villains from previous reviews, such as Terl and Mechakara, and in the last episode, the Nostalgia Critic has a very important encounter with Doug Walker.

Apocalypse Now contains a nice reference to its source material, Conrad's Heart of Darkness. Colonel Kurtz reads from Eliot's 'The Hollow Men', which contains the epigraph 'Mistah Kurtz - he dead!'; he is reading 'From Ritual to Romance' and 'The Golden Bough', which Eliot mentions as two texts underpinning 'The Waste Land', whose epigraph was to be 'The horror! The horror!'. Both quotations are, of course, from the original Conrad.

MS Paint Adventures pushes new boundaries for this trope. There are four separate webcomics, or "adventures", on the site: Jailbreak, Bard Quest, Problem Sleuth, and Homestuck. There's also an entity known as the Midnight Crew. The relationship between the five is a little complicated, to say the least.
Problem Sleuth, Bard Quest and Jailbreak take place in the same universe. They also are an in-universe series of games, as Problem Sleuth has to look up his own game on GameFAQs in order to get past an extremely difficult puzzle.
John, The Hero of Homestuck, owns video games with the same titles as the first three adventures. It is unknown if these games are associated with the fictional mspaintadventures.com that exists within that universe.
The Midnight Crew were introduced in a series of non-canonical extra commands for Problem Sleuth. Several characters in Homestuck go to mspaintadventures.com, where there is a Midnight Crew adventure going on. Moreover, Jade checked it at a time when it was concluding an intermission which seems to be a variation of Homestuck and didn't seem to notice.
After the end of Act 3, Homestuck, in turn, began a Midnight Crew-themed intermission. In it, Spades Slick of the Midnight Crew - using a computer which once belonged to John's dad, no less - went to mspaintadventures.com and found... Homestuck itself.
At the end of the intermission, it is revealed that the Midnight Crew intermission is part of the Homestuck story with direct ramifications on it. So... the whole thing's a little complicated.
It's ultimately quite simple though now that Andrew Hussie is actually a character in story; he's got time and space warping walls that he watches people withnote Technical term: fifth walls. and so he can violate what we'd consider normal. It also helps that parallel universes are involved. To put it simply, he's sending Midnight Crew comics to John's universe, Homestuck comics to the Midnight Crew's universe, and a third universe gets a sequel to Problem Sleuth.
A lot of the characters of Homestuck lived in the Midnight Crew's universe before. They live in the Alternian universe (A2).
Bringing the Midnight Crew shenanigans full circle, the actual sequel to Problem Sleuth is told through bonus comics for Homestuck: Beyond Canon. Characters from Homestuck are transported to that universe during the plot, including Jane, who was a fan of the in-universe sequel.
Complicating things even further is the existence of the MSPA Reader, who up until Homestuck was just an amusing meta-reference. Since they've become a recurring character in Homestuck, they've gained their own Land and therefore their own session, started reading the comic after Hiveswap Friendsim (including all the parts that reference them directly), then dove deeper into it during Pesterquest by meeting the human cast after reading what happens to them during The Homestuck Epilogues.

Dungeons & Dragons (1983) starts with a group of kids going on a D&D-themed ride at a theme park, suggesting the D&D games exist in their world.

Umineko: When They Cry takes this and runs with it to the Nth degree. By the end of the series, it's a story about a story about a story about a game about a story about a game about some message bottles about a game about a murder. And there are probably a few layers forgotten there as well. And to boot, it might be possible that the events of Higurashi: When They Cry were actually a novel in the world of Umineko - although it's hard to tell whether it's serious or just a meta-gag when Battler mentions it.

Crash Bandicoot is fiction in Uncharted but a Wumpa Fruit can be found in Uncharted 4. The Last of Us has Uncharted board games and a newspaper referencing an Uncharted movie, however a newspaper in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception references the fungus in The Last of Us and a Firefly pendant can be found in Uncharted 4 along with a poster for a The Last of Us comic series titled "American Daughters". Jak and Daxter have plush toys, board games, and pinatas in The Last of Us. Precursor orbs exist in Uncharted but the name of Daxter's species - the Ottsel - is a brand in the same universe. Naughty Dog itself exists on a mousepad in The Last of Us. So on, and so forth.

The second movie also had its own Sound Stages and commentary where it was shown to be an in-universe movie. Its nature as recursive canon even helps to justify Graham and his familiars being Adapted Out, since it wouldn't make any sense for TSAB propaganda to show a high ranking officer condemning an innocent girl to an eternal icy prison. But wait, it gets weird. Before the second movie was released there was another Drama CD, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha GOD Sound Stage M, set in the Alternate Timeline of the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's Portable video games. In it, the Original Generation characters introduced in those games encounter the versions of Fate and Nanoha from the first movie. In short, the movie timeline seems to actually exist.

The plot of the WarioWare series is about Wario opening a video game company and selling compilations of microgames, short games that last only 5 seconds, and as a nostalgic bonus, many of those microgames are based on classic Nintendo videogames but converted into very short versions, however, some of these microgames are based on Mario games, Yoshi games, Donkey Kong games and even Wario Land games, a more justifiable example, is when even microgames from previous WarioWare games for the Game Boy Advance are included, and they are shown running in a GBA in your screen.

In D3: The Mighty Ducks, it's established in-universe that the NHL team was specifically named after Gordon Bombay's team once they rose to national prominence. In real life, the then-Disney-owned Mighty Ducks of Anaheim expansion team was piggybacking off the success of the first movie the previous year, in a overt display of corporate synergy.

Doctor Who Expanded Universe:
Some parts of the Expanded Universe have taken it further, with a conspiracy theorist claiming that the Doctor deliberately creates fictional stories of himself on many worlds so that no one believes he really exists.
Another Expanded Universe story suggested that the Aaru Doctor Who films starring Peter Cushing exist in-universe, as a highly decayed adaptation of a series of novels that Barbara Wright wrote based on her experiences travelling with the Doctor. The novelisation of The Day of the Doctor states that the Doctor himself is a big fan of the movies and even considered taking the TARDIS back to the 1960s to persuade Cushing to make a third one.
According to a COVID-19 webcast, Doctor Who is a show that can be watched on the BBC iPlayer in their universe. However, we don't know if this version of the show matches ours.

Looney Tunes:
In Stage Door Cartoon, Elmer Fudd sits down in a theater for a screening of a Bugs Bunny short, alongside a Southern-voiced sheriff who says how much he "just dotes on that thar critter's doin's". Watching the cartoon, Elmer sees Bugs on the screen putting on a sheriff disguise, so he starts tearing off the clothes of the sheriff next to him in the theater... only to discover it's the real sheriff, who promptly hauls him away.
In An Itch in Time, Elmer is seen reading a Looney Tunes comic book with Bugs and Porky on the cover.

The ending of Secret of Evermore suggests that the entire game was just the result of the main character daydreaming after going out to see a movie called "The Secret of Evermore". But a mysterious spark of electricity around the theater marquee throws that into question, coupled with the following scene showing the previous citizens of Podunk he rescued, preparing to return to their lives outside of Evermore.

In both Spirou & Fantasio and Gaston Lagaffe, the characters work on the staff of the magazine that publishes their adventures, Journal de Spirou (later Spirou Magazine, now simply Spirou). Consequently, the comic exists within its own world, and Spirou is occasionally recognized as its hero. In early stories by Jijé, he would meet members of his own fan club. In Alerte aux Zorkons a sniper refuses to fire on him and Fantasio (hanging from a Spirou-shaped advertising balloon) because he used to read the comic as a kid. A short story in one of the books has Spirou and Fantasio return to their offices, and a publisher is angry about something happening to Gaston Lagaffe. Fantasio tells him to follow the sound of rage from upstairs, but the publisher tells him it's about the comic.

Reimagined Enterprise:
One of the early twenty-first century pop songs Audrey Rocia listens to is "Faith of the Heart".
The crew refer to the works of Larry Niven, yet there are hints that (as in Star Trek: The Animated Series) the Kzinti race exists in this setting, and they were created by Larry Niven. (This paradox is lampshaded at one point).

In 10 Things I Hate About You characters mention studying Shakespeare and admiring him, which is quite an odd thing to do in a Shakespeare adaptation. If they had studied the works of Shakespeare, then they would probably realise that their situation was extremely like the one in The Taming of the Shrew; and they might also note that some of them share the same name with their characters in the play.

House of Leaves has one of the central characters reading a book called, yes, House of Leaves, which certainly appears to be the same one that the reader is holding in their hands. Of course, this character exists only within a documentary which doesn't appear to exist in the narrator's universe and may or may not have been entirely invented by another character, presumably meaning that the book exists within the documentary's universe but not within Johnny Truant's universe, at least until it's written down by Johnny, which doesn't happen until well after the documentary would have been made, assuming said documentary and its participants actually existed, and... I don't even know.

Leisure Suit Larry 4 is a missing game in Leisure Suit Larry 5, and appears in Space Quest IV. Interestingly, it's a plot point in both: after Larry and Patti got together at the end of Leisure Suit Larry 3, they're separated again at the start of LSL5 and have no clue why because of the missing game. In SQIV, recurring nemesis Vohaul uploaded himself into a disc for LSL4, and the Xenonian scientists were so eager to play it that they installed it (and him) onto Xenon's planet-controlling supercomputer.

The Wizard of Speed and Time involves the protagonist trying to sell his script for a movie which is... the one we are watching. To further shatter the Fourth Wall, the crooked producer is played by Jittlov's partner, who turned out to be... a crooked producer.

In Gilbert Hernandez's comics set in his Palomar universe, after the end of the original Love and Rockets, Fritz stars in a gangster film Very Loosely Based on a True Story about the life of her own mother Maria, causing a rift between herself and her sister Luba. Gilbert later launched a series of graphic novels that purported to be adaptations of films in which Fritz had appeared in-universe, eventually including the Maria one. He took this to even greater Mind Screw dimensions with his serial Speak of the Devil, which has the same title as one of Fritz's in-universe films but, according to Word of God, is the story of the "real" in-universe events that the film was loosely based on.

Supernatural:
While the TV series Supernatural doesn't exist within the show, there is a series of in-universe novels that is identical to the TV show in every other way, with each novel corresponding to a similarly titled episode. This allows for a whole heap of meta episodes, but also has significant plot relevance, as the in-universe explanation is that the writer of the series is a prophet who wrote the series based on his visions. This sometimes allows the characters to find out information by asking the author himself. In another twist, at the end of season 5 it's implied that Supernatural's author was quite literally God in disguise all along, which was later confirmed in season 11.
In season 6, the characters are thrown into an alternate reality, in which they take the place of "Jared" and "Jensen", two actors in a series called "Supernatural". In short, the actors are playing characters who are playing the actors who play them.
In season 10, the characters find themselves investigating events surrounding a play, which is basically a musical slashfic of the novels. And, unknown to Sam and Dean, the prophetic author of the novels was involved in the production of the musical play.

The anime Super Dimension Fortress Macross has a movie version, Do You Remember Love?, which the producers later explained away as a propaganda video made by UN Spacy to portray the events of the TV series in a better light. The deaths of certain characters are made far more heroic, the love triangle made far more romantic, and in general, UN Spacy comes out smelling a lot better than in the TV series.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Assassin's Creed III: Liberation also exist as in-universe games, titled "Pirates of Nightmares" and "Liberation", respectively, and are developed by Abstergo Entertainment. Supposedly developed by taking data from the Animus and then turning that information into a video game, these projects exist to skew public favor for the Templar's interpretation of history. The actual games themselves paint the Assasins as the good guys so it's hard to tell what the Templars were going for if their own games are more or less on the same trajectory.

The main protagonist of Relativity is a superhero named Black Torrent, but his father was the original Black Torrent. In-universe, there exists a series of comic books about the original Torrent, but he's never read them. Since he was set-up to be more of a secret government agent than a superhero, the writers of the comic had little clue about what his actual adventures were and had to make up a lot of it.

Related to the title screen, another game that Ratchet can be seen playing is Jak II. Posters of Jak and Daxter can also be seen at various points in the game. Ratchet and Clank appear in a secret gun course in Jak 3. Jak is a playable character (only for Player 2) in Ratchet: Deadlocked, and similarly Ratchet is a secret unlockable character in Jak X: Combat Racing. Finally, Ratchet and Clank appear on masks in Daxter. In short: Jak and Daxter exist as both fiction and real characters in Ratchet & Clank, and vise versa.

DuckTales (1987) and Darkwing Duck have a Shared Universe, both of which have Launchpad as a main character and Gizmoduck a supporting one. In DuckTales (2017), Darkwing Duck is a Show Within a Show that Launchpad watched as a kid, though significantly different in some way (most obviously, he and Gizmoduck were not part of it, it's a live-action show in-universe, Negaduck isn't a character, and Darkwing's Secret Identity isn't Drake Mallard). Eventually, the actor who plays Darkwing in a recent movie adaptation (who is named Drake Mallard) becomes Darkwing for real, and Darkwing's original actor becomes Negaduck.

Tolkien's Legendarium:
In The Lord of the Rings, Gandalf discusses with Frodo how he began to suspect Bilbo's magic ring was an evil influence when he lied about it in the first edition of his biography, There And Back Again: A Hobbit's Holiday. When going through Bilbo's papers after the war, Frodo went back and revised the section on Gollum's cave to explain what really happened.
The entirety of The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings and its appendices are supposedly transcriptions from the Red Book of Westmarch, written by Bilbo and later Frodo. They're called "The Downfall of the Lord of the Rings and the Return of the King." The Silmarillion and other stories of Elvish heroes are from Bilbo's three-volume work "Translations from the Elvish."

TFS at the Table: A Running Gag with the players and fans is the Natural One-ders' Saturday Morning Cartoon, broadcast long after the actual One-ders' adventuring careers ended. This then became the focus of a one-off special episode, showing an episode of the cartoon on home scrying orbs. There's even a cheesy Aesop message. However, the cartoon is only Very Loosely Based on a True Story, so the heroes' adventures also include campy things like fighting a mummy ninja in his hovering pyramid HQ. The characters are also simplified and rendered as something fitting in a kid's TV show:
Ezra is a weakling and depends on being a Guile Hero.
Wake is always serious and has No Sense of Humor.
Grammy is a kindly old lady, instead of a crazy sea hag.
Nedra is naïve, excitable and trips over everything.
Skrung is a cheap goblin stereotype.
Gulphur has a sometimes-Scottish-sometimes-Irish accent and drinks copious amounts of 'orange juice'.
Although it wasn't included in the episode, the players have also reacted positively to fanart depicting Calliope the faun's cartoon persona as a druid/ninja/forest guardian, and Carble the gargoyle as a robot.

Captain America: The First Avenger: Captain America starts off as purely a propaganda character played by an actual super soldier. The real life iconic comic featuring Captain America "socking old Adolf on the jaw" also exists in universe as an adaptation of his live show. He also stars in a series of WWII movie serials as his character, all before actually becoming a war hero. Then when he first meets the Big Bad, the latter tells him (perhaps sarcastically) that he's a big fan of his films.

SD Gundam G Generation posits that Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team is a television drama aired in the UC 0090s, possibly with input from the people who lived the real events like Michel. Interestingly, this is done primarily to justify the existence of space-use variants of Shiro's Gundam Ez8, by suggesting that the show was so popular the writers extended the storyline beyond what really happened.

Macross:
The anime Super Dimension Fortress Macross has a movie version, Do You Remember Love?, which the producers later explained away as a propaganda video made by UN Spacy to portray the events of the TV series in a better light. The deaths of certain characters are made far more heroic, the love triangle made far more romantic, and in general, UN Spacy comes out smelling a lot better than in the TV series.
Series creator Shoji Kawamori has gone on to say that all the Macross stories are merely second-hand retellings of real events that happened in an unseen "prime" continuity, mostly to explain the differences apparent in, say, the Macross Frontier TV series compared to the movies that followed it. This has some interesting implications for Frontier in particular, as its movies paint several maligned parties in the TV series in a much more rosier light.

The original Devilman show exists in the world of DEVILMAN crybaby, including an appearance from the original opening. The fictional version in Crybaby is apparently not the exact same as the real show, as an internet search for "Akira Fudo" (the protagonist of both real works) showed no results.

Mortal Kombat:
In Mortal Kombat 3, Liu Kang's "Arcade Drop" Fatality squashes his opponent under a Mortal Kombat cabinet. This returned in Lighter and Softer form in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.
The Tournament stage in Mortal Kombat 11 features Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, Mortal Kombat X, Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks and Mortal Kombat: Deception arcade cabinets in the background, as well as numerous posters and banners from NetherRealm Studios, the makers of the game.

The epilogue of Wolves of the Calla. Just...that epilogue. And it causes Callahan to have a Heroic BSoD.
The Dark Tower really takes it to the level of Recursive Reality. For instance, Eddie Dean determines that Co-Op City is in Brooklyn only in the fictional version of The Multiverse he's from, not the real version where it's in the Bronx, because, of course, Stephen King didn't do the research at the time.
When the detectives in Mr. Mercedes find the clown mask that the killer used to hide his identity, one comments that it reminds him of "that TV movie about the clown in the sewer." The other later watches the film and admits the resemblance.

Hiveswap Friendsim:
The series, a dating sim based in the universe of Homestuck, ends with your character sitting down to read the very comic which spawned the game. This is one of the tamest parts of the canon.
Its direct sequel Pesterquest goes even further, starting with your character getting mad at The Homestuck Epilogues, then accidentally teleporting to the locations of several of the characters that star in it as they appeared in the beginning of the comic.

You Only Live Twice asserts that a series of thriller novels based on James Bond's adventures have been published. This also led to the weirdest of the James Bond continuation novels, John Pearson's James Bond: The Authorised Biography of 007, in which Pearson catches up with the real James Bond, on whom Ian Fleming based his novels. In turn, this means that in Pearson's version of the Bond universe, Fleming's You Only Live Twice mentions that there are works of fiction based on the real exploits of the hero of his fictions, which were themselves based on a real person, who is of course fictional to us, Pearson's readers.

Lucky Star:
Magazine covers with the series' characters are often reproduced in-story. Also, in one case, the characters discuss the series' (Real Life) promotion event in Akibahara—Konata recommends cosplay, Kagami dislikes it as too much Pandering to the Base, and Konata answers that Kagami should accept the fact that muggles won't read that anyway. Furthermore, when the trio visit a shrine in Kyoto near the end of the series, Konata reads a prayer that says "Konata is my wife". The joke being that after the manga was published, some otaku hung such prayers at the real-life Washinomiya shrine, which was the inspiration for the shrine the Hiiragi family runs. So in the anime Konata picks one of them up, undoubtedly to the delight of the fan who wrote it.
The anime's opening theme, Motteke! Sailor Fuku, exists within the show itself. Not only is it the song of choice for the girls' cheerleading number for their school festival, but Tsukasa is also heard humming part of it at one point in episode 6.
The spinoff Miyakawa-ke no Kuufuku features two magazines, which covers feature this very series, in episode 9.

The stadium stage in Project Justice features in-universe advertisements for other Capcom video games, including Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000. Both of those games feature Sakura, a character established to exist in Project Justice's universe, as a playable fighter. This is made even weirder by the sequel, Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium, which actually added Kyosuke from Project Justice to the playable lineup.

A brief gag in Steven Universe, during a Travel Montage on a trip to Korea, shows Steven and Greg checking out a Korean animation studio. The cartoon being drawn in the studio is very clearly Steven Universe itself (which is indeed animated in South Korea), and they even seem to be working on that particular episode. After looking around for a few seconds, an unnerved Greg ushers his son out of the room before Steven can realize what's going on.

In Gene Roddenberry's novelization of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, it is asserted that the original Star Trek was a dramatization of the actual adventures of the Enterprise and that certain things were exaggerated or distorted for dramatic effect. This was Roddenberry's way of distancing himself from elements in the original series that he was unsatisfied with due to budgetary or technical limitations (for instance, after the Klingons were redesigned in the movie, Roddenberry told Trek fans to pretend they'd always looked that way.)

In a The Simpsons comics crossover, "When Bongos Collide," it is established that Itchy and Scratchy are fictional cartoon characters within the Simpsons universe - but still has them appear as flesh-and-blood characters! The story resolves this inconsistency by having the space aliens Kodos and Kang (who themselves were originally fictional characters in a story told by Bart to Lisa in his treehouse before their in-universe Defictionalization) come to Earth and use a... trans-temporal reality thingee to cause Itchy and Scratchy to materialize out of the Simpson family TV set and become "real" beings! Later in the crossover, Bart (as "Bartman") uses the same device to materialize Radioactive Man actor Dirk Richter out of the 1950s TV show to ask for his help, only for Richter to tell Bart that Radioactive Man is fictional and that he's a real person playing him. Undeterred, Bart simply materializes the "fictional" Radioactive Man out of one of his comic books, and this RM really does have superpowers.

In the Marvel Universe, the literary villain Fu Manchu is a real person and the father of the superhero Shang-Chi. When Spider-Man and Shang-Chi teamed up for the first time, Spidey was shocked to discover that Fu Manchu was real, as he'd always considered him a fictional person. During the Acts of Vengeance crossover in the 90s, the Red Skull also made a reference to Fu Manchu that implied he was a work of fiction.

Peter Jackson's King Kong (2005) plays with this a little. A Mythology Gag about a "Fay, doing a picture with RKO" and being directed by a "Cooper" (references to Fay Wray, the original Ann Darrow; the company that produced the original King Kong (1933); and its director, Merian C. Cooper) whilst the events of the film are taking place, one scene from Denham's film as being almost identical to an interaction between Ann and Jack in the original, as well as the stage show with Kong being very similar to the sacrifice scene from the original film, right down to the identical music and depictions of the Skull Island natives. This almost seems to imply the original 1933 film was a Hollywoodised version of real events in-universe.

Garfield and Friends:
In the episode "Badtime Story", Wade gets Roy to leave so Wade can finish the story by telling him "Your favorite TV show's on". Roy's reaction: "Garfield and Friends? Oh my gosh! I can't miss it this week. We'll finish this later. Bye!" We later then see Roy at his house, saying "Hey, wait a minute! This isn't Saturday morning! Garfield isn't on!"
At the end of "Secrets of the Animated Cartoon", the U.S. Acres characters all gather up to watch Garfield and Friends.
In "The Lasagna Zone", Garfield, Trapped in TV Land, begs Odie to change the channel, but Odie mistakenly knocks the remote off the armchair, causing it to break and the channel to change endlessly, resulting in Garfield running in place through several different screens. One is Booker and Sheldon standing in a field, and another is the title card of the earlier episode "Sludge Monster". Earlier in the same episode, Jon throws Garfield a book of the cable TV listings, the cover of which has Garfield's picture on it.
Averted: In Garfield's Halloween Adventure, when Garfield is flipping through TV channels at the beginning, one is a Jim Davis-drawn pig in a cartoony field. One may be tempted to think it's Orson and that he's watching Garfield and Friends, but this special predated it by 3 years.

The commentary track to the DVD release of The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension is written under the assumption that the film is a fictionalized account of real events. The commentators go so far as to constantly explain how the events depicted differ from "what really happened", or make comparisons between Peter Weller's portrayal and that of the "real" Buckaroo.

The Oz books are an interesting case; L. Frank Baum always included a "note to his readers" in the beginning of each book, and in the first few books he talks about writing the book, even thanking children for the ideas they've sent him, but gradually he begins talking about Oz more as if it's a real place, and he's just recounting events as they were told to him by Dorothy. In later books, new visitors to Oz, such as Betsy Bobbin and Trot, are familiar with the land of Oz and its inhabitants from having read the previous books.

Mario Universe:
At the Yoshi theater in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, one of the films that are set to play is Mario & Luigi. It's referred to as an action blockbuster. The end of the game reveals that the game itself was this film.
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door an NPC gushes about this new game he has called "Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door". If you talk to him in the middle of the game he says he already beat it and the ending is amazing. In addition, the ending sequence mentions that Flurrie and Doopliss are performing a play based on the events of the game... but since the battle system is itself "onstage", it's implied that you might be playing the play. Which means that the play refers to itself...
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!: Wrinkly Kong has a Nintendo 64 in her house and sometimes she is playing Super Mario 64, Peach's Castle theme can be heard.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze: One of the games Donkey Kong may play on his 3DS within his Idle Animation is Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
The plot of the WarioWare series is about Wario opening a video game company and selling compilations of microgames, short games that last only 5 seconds, and as a nostalgic bonus, many of those microgames are based on classic Nintendo videogames but converted into very short versions, however, some of these microgames are based on Mario games, Yoshi games, Donkey Kong games and even Wario Land games, a more justifiable example, is when even microgames from previous WarioWare games for the Game Boy Advance are included, and they are shown running in a GBA in your screen.

In Strange Adventures (2020), a bulk of the plot is kickstarted by a now-retired Adam Strange publishing a memoir of his previous space adventures provoking discussion on his life... which is itself titled Strange Adventures (and even features the same Doc Shaner cover art used for this series' first issue). This is around for rather postmodernist reasons: Strange Adventures (the series) is meant to raise questions on the nature of Adam Strange as a character while contextualized within various stories of his — much like how the book is about his dubious retelling of how he defeated the Pykkts during their invasion of Rann, the series juxtaposes flashbacks of the glamorous side of his traditional Space Opera adventures to the darker present-day reality writers don't generally want audiences to know about or question, overall painting Adam as a man torn between the stories he pushes onto others vs. the stories others tell about him.

It's actually a plot point in Day of the Tentacle that Doctor Fred never saw a penny from "the video game based on his family" since he locked the contract in his safe and forgot the combination. When Hoagie mails the contract via the Pony Express 200 years in the past, LucasArts calls Dr. Fred to inform him they found the contract and pay him $2 million in royalties.

The Teen Titans (2003) animated series is apparently an actual TV show in the DC Universe, as evidenced by a poster for the cartoon being present in Irey West's room in an issue of The Flash. An issue of Teen Titans had the kids briefly watching an episode of Tiny Titans. Along the same lines older DC Comics had in-universe ads for the Adam West Batman (1966) series.

Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds:
In the DC event, the Earth Prime universe, which was destroyed in the original Crisis, is recreated. On Earth Prime, DC Comics exists exactly as it does in real life, and thus Superboy Prime's girlfriend and family find out about every horrible thing he's done by reading the same comics you're reading. Which of course depicts them reading the comics they're reading, which depicts them reading... basically an infinite level of recursive canon.
The "Threeboot" version of the Legion of Super-Heroes was originally presented as taking place in the altered future of the DCU just as previous versions had been. In this version, the Legion was shown to have gotten their inspiration from 20th/21st century comic books featuring Superman, Batman, etc. Legion of Three Worlds revealed they were actually the future of Earth Prime, not the main DC Earth.

The Gundam manga Ganota no Onna reimagines Char Aznable as an Office Lady in present day Tokyo, with much of the show's cast appearing in some form or another. Despite this, Mobile Suit Gundam is treated as an actual anime within the show, with Utsuki and Amuru (Char and Amuro) portrayed as massive fans of the franchise.
Gundam Build Fighters takes place in a 20 Minutes into the Future version of the real world, where all the other Gundam series are fiction. The producers also included a truly epic number of Gundam characters in Continuity Cameos during the course of the series, even though their respective origin shows are all supposed to be works of fiction in this universe. Including Model Suit Gunpla Builders Beginning G, which also takes place in an alternate real world where all the other Gundam series are fiction.
SD Gundam G Generation posits that Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team is a television drama aired in the UC 0090s, possibly with input from the people who lived the real events like Michel. Interestingly, this is done primarily to justify the existence of space-use variants of Shiro's Gundam Ez8, by suggesting that the show was so popular the writers extended the storyline beyond what really happened.

Death Note has an unusual version of this - the pilot chapter mentions that a manga was written based on the "real story" it tells (well, mostly on the concept of the Death Note itself). This leads to a scene where Ryuk passes a poster for the live-action Death Note movie.

In Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Autobiography, it was strongly suggested that the A Series of Unfortunate Events books exists in the eponymous universe. In addition, the Lemony Narrator is himself a character of the books - which he dedicates to his deceased beloved, Beatrice. When you really think about it, the whole idea sounds rather stalkerish. The final book The End explains this as A Series of Unfortunate Events is actually a chronicle written by inhabitants of the Island by many authors, including the Baudelaires' parents. Lemony is just the latest author, and the events we're reading are just one of many, regarding hundreds of people.

The anime exists within the universe of Sailor Moon which isn't exactly recursive canon because there never was a Sailor V anime. Sailor Venus DOES however sometimes read her own comic book which plays the trope straight. We're never told the actual contents of either and the main Sailor Moon franchise even seems to quietly avoid any direct references to Sailor V canon(s) in general to preserve simplicity.

The Number of the Beast by Robert A. Heinlein is confusing. It starts out with only modern canon weirdness, as the main characters visit worlds they know are fictional (like Oz). Then they meet up with a character from an earlier series by the same author, they know he's fictional and then he reveals that they are too, since he only knew where to meet them by reading their stories. The first of which was this book.

The original Star Trek television series, featuring the starship NCC-1701 Enterprise, was so popular that a massive write-in campaign convinced NASA to name the first real-life space shuttle OV-101 Enterprise. Much later, when Star Trek: Enterprise (a prequel to the original Star Trek) was created, there were several almost-explicit references implying that the NX-01 Enterprise was indeed named after the space shuttle. Let's recap: the fictional NX-01 was named after the real OV-101, which was named after the fictional NCC-1701, which was named (in-universe) after the NX-01. It gets even weirder if you know an original proposed name for OV-101 was "Constitution". Which would mean that the Constitution Class USS Enterprise NCC-1701 was named for the NX-01 Enterprise which was named for the OV-101 Enterprise.

Sliders has a variation. In the finale, the group slides to a world where a "seer" has been watching them psychically across the multiverse. He turned the visions into paintings, books, and ultimately, a live-action TV show that looks vaguely familiar...

Codename: Sailor V:
The anime exists within the universe of Sailor Moon which isn't exactly recursive canon because there never was a Sailor V anime. Sailor Venus DOES however sometimes read her own comic book which plays the trope straight. We're never told the actual contents of either and the main Sailor Moon franchise even seems to quietly avoid any direct references to Sailor V canon(s) in general to preserve simplicity.
Sailor Moon manga appear (but in brief cameo roles) as do the magazines that ran Sailor V and Sailor Moon (and parodies thereof; RanRan instead of Run Run).

Ratchet & Clank:
On the title screen for Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, Ratchet can be seen playing several games, including the first Ratchet & Clank game as well as Going Commando itself.
Related to the title screen, another game that Ratchet can be seen playing is Jak II. Posters of Jak and Daxter can also be seen at various points in the game. Ratchet and Clank appear in a secret gun course in Jak 3. Jak is a playable character (only for Player 2) in Ratchet: Deadlocked, and similarly Ratchet is a secret unlockable character in Jak X: Combat Racing. Finally, Ratchet and Clank appear on masks in Daxter. In short: Jak and Daxter exist as both fiction and real characters in Ratchet & Clank, and vise versa.

The first-gen Pokémon games allow you to visit Game Freak studios, and talk to a sprite artist who drew the player character for the Pokémon games. This was kept in all future games in the franchise as well, where there would be somewhere you could talk to Game Freak staff members and the Director would usually give you a certificate for completing the Pokédex.
In HeartGold/SoulSilver, the Director will comment on how hard it is to make a remake of a classic game.
In earlier games, mostly the first and second generation, you can find NPCs playing Pokémon on a Game Boy. For an extra level of strangeness, trading a Pokémon with one of them produces the usual animation of a link cable connecting two consoles, as if you've physically linked your real Game Boy to their virtual one. The Let's Go remakes made a Mythology Gag out of this with a floor in Celadon Department Store selling Switch consoles, Pokémon Quest, and a game suspiciously similar to the one you're playing.

The 1980s revival of The DCU's Blackhawk showed the original 1940s series to be a comic book rendition of the team. Weng Chan, the Chinese member of the team, understandably complained about the Unfortunate Implications of his portrayal as the stereotypical caricature "Chop-Chop".

Futurama is stated to be a work of fiction within the Simpsons universe (Matt Groening is famous for creating Futurama in The Simpsons, meanwhile he is famous for creating The Simpsons within the universe of Futurama) which gets extra confusing when it was confirmed the two would have a crossover in the fall of 2014.

In an omake for the Touhou/Pokemon crossover Monsters In Paradise, Yukari admitted to buying drinks for a young man in Tokyo during the mid-1990s and telling him of Gensokyo's existence. At the time, she believed that telling an alcoholic about Gensokyo would have no serious repercussions. Her reaction when she finally discovers much later that her conversation spawned at least seventeen games, assorted supplementary material, and a highly creative fanbase? Several minutes of stunned silence.

The sequel of The City of Dreaming Books mentions The City of Dreaming Books as a book in-universe. Which makes sense, since it is an autobiographical piece the main character wrote. And doesn't make sense since Moers explicitly says it's a compilation of the first two volumes of a longer series and was never published as one book in universe.

The Ghostbusters films exist in The Real Ghostbusters universe as a retelling of actual events. Cartoon Peter Venkman notes that Bill Murray looks nothing like him. Toys from the TV series, however, show up in Ghostbusters II and the 2009 video game, which is noted as Canon to the movies. So the cartoon is a retelling of events in the movies which is a retelling of events in the cartoon which is—oh dear, I've gone crosseyed.

We Need to go Deeper is heavily inspired by 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea to the point of Captain Nemo being a real person In-Universe and having died in the deepest reaches of the Living Infinite. However, a tattered copy of Leagues is one of the trash items which can be found. This is possibly consistent with Verne's writing rather than a joke, as in The Mysterious Island, Leagues is revealed to be an In-Universe book written by the novel's protagonist, Professor Arronax.

A Warhammer 40,000 example is "If the Emperor Watched TTS," a fanfic on Space Battles.com by Praetor 98. It features the Emperor and his sons watching video files of the humorous web series If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device, which pokes fun at the modern Warhammer-verse and points out the various ways they messed up and how they would eventually create the Grimdark Crapsack World of the future. In addition to lighthearted MST style riffing, the series explores what Big E and company would do to stop the horrible events of the Horus Heresy before they occur. Notable, unlike TTS' Emperor who is constantly Breaking the Fourth Wall, this series' version of the Emperor prefers a more subtle Leaning on the Fourth Wall to preserve more drama.

Bastian finally realizes that the story is more than just a story, when he gets to the part where a character in the book starts retelling the story word-for-word from the beginning — and starts not with the first chapter of the story within the story, but with the beginning of the exterior story: the one you're reading, in which Bastian is the main character.

War of the Worlds reveals that the 1938 Radio Drama was part of a government disinformation campaign to cover up a real invasion. The 1953 film, on the other hand, is in-continuity. It also acknowledges that the original H. G. Wells novel on which the radio drama was based exists in-universe. This is feasible because the 1953 movie has practically nothing in common with the book beyond a few broad strokes that could credibly be coincidence.

In one episode ("Lost and Found in Translation"), the three leads of Power Rangers: Dino Thunder sit down for a bit of satellite TV and find themselves watching a badly dubbed episode of the series their show is based on, Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger. At first they're appalled by how silly the show makes them look, but in the end they develop a bemused affection for it.

Doctor Who:
Borderline example in the 25th anniversary serial "Remembrance of the Daleks", which is a sequel to the original pilot episode and is set in the same place and time; at one point we hear a BBC continuity voice announcing the time and date the first episode of "a new science-fiction serial" was broadcast — it's cut short just before the full name of the series is actually dropped, with only the first syllable being revealed: "Doc".
In "In the Forest of the Night", a poster advertising Doctor Who is seen on a bus in the background.
One of the thousands of channels in the Ninth Doctor story "The Long Game" appears to be airing the Fourth Doctor story "The Leisure Hive". Justified as it may just be showing the planet the older story was set on.
Some books have the Peter Cushing movies, Dr. Who and the Daleks and Daleks' Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D. as being in-universe movies made after Ian and Barbara sold their story to Amicus Productions.

Digimon Universe: App Monsters takes a slightly similar approach, though theirs is more of a halfway example. This universe has digital monsters in it, but they're a new variety called Appmon and are based on smartphone applications as well as having their own way of evolving into differently-named higher forms. We find out in a 20th anniversary, however, that a fictional Digimon video game by the title of "Digimon Universe" exists, and that the main character played it when he was younger. The plot of the game seems to mirror that of Digimon Adventure, and when Agumon is brought to life from the game, his role is reprised by Chika Sakamoto.

The "plot" (such as it is) of We Love Katamari is driven by the idea that, following the success of the first game, Katamari Damacy, the stars (that is, the King of All Cosmos and the Prince) have become hugely popular, and must therefore answer requests from adoring fans. Things get sillier when the King convinces himself that he owes his huge popularity to his stylish, captivating chin.

Babel-17 by Samuel R. Delany has an amusingly twisted example. Rydra Wong and her shipmate Ron start talking about "'Empire Star' and other Comet Jo stories", written by Muels Aranlyde, and Wong explains that Comet Jo is a real person who she knows, but that the stories are only loosely based on reality. Empire Star is actually a novella by Delany, and its protagonist is named Comet Jo. So you're left to wonder if Delany's novella is fact or fiction from the perspective of Babel-17's characters.

The Dresden Files RPG is stated to exist in the universe of the novels, having been written by Harry's friend Billy for the same reason that Bram Stoker wrote Dracula, to spread information about monsters and their weaknesses to the common man. The game book is filled with margin notes from Harry, Billy, and Bob, and the implication is that it's a Roman à Clef, but this isn't the final version and so none of the names have been changed yet.

Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 has an interesting example of this. The first movie features Ax-Crazy Billy Chapman, who dresses as Santa Claus and kills people. In Part 2, Billy's little brother Ricky Caldwell (they changed the family name for some reason) narrates his rise to insanity. During this time, he and his girlfriend go to a movie that is, in fact, the original Silent Night, Deadly Night; his girlfriend even describes the plot of the movie to him.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door an NPC gushes about this new game he has called "Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door". If you talk to him in the middle of the game he says he already beat it and the ending is amazing. In addition, the ending sequence mentions that Flurrie and Doopliss are performing a play based on the events of the game... but since the battle system is itself "onstage", it's implied that you might be playing the play. Which means that the play refers to itself...

Postal does this due to its Metal Gear-like irreverence for a fourth wall, so much so that the actual video game's developers are characters in the second game. This came to the point that Postal Redux, the remake of the original Postal, was teased more than a year before it came out... by way of giving the player an errand in Postal 2: Paradise Lost to install Postal Redux boards into the arcade cabinets at the mall.

In the Astro City universe, companies publish comic books based on the in-universe superheroes. The most popular comics are the ones officially licensed by the heroes, but some will take news events and embellish the circumstances. Comics for "fictional" heroes (Batman, Superman, etc.) also exist, but don't sell as well.

In Kingdom Hearts III, the framing device for the Classic Disney Shorts-inspired Classic Kingdom minigames is that they were created to promote a film festival of the actual short films, albeit with Sora being Mickey's main co-star. Scrooge McDuck and Ludwig Von Drake (who is credited with the invention of synchronized sound) are credited as the producers of these cartoons.

One Nowhere Man episode involved the Government Conspiracy created a television show based on the main character's life, named after the show with almost shot-for-shot recreations, but with bad acting and camera work, and it even got to the point where they were filming real time what was happening, in a subversion of PostModernism, where he had to do things out of character in order to defeat their plans.

There is a scene in Killer Tomatoes Eat France where Professor Gangreen uses small toys and figurines to illustrate his battle plan to his tomato henchmen Zoltan, Ketchuck, and Viper. One of the items he uses is his figure in the toyline of the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes animated series.

Digimon Tamers establishes early on that a version of the Digimon franchise exists in the world, which is later revealed to have been created after a group of bankrupt computer scientists sold to a toy company the designs and concept of, you guessed it, the prototypical digital life forms they created which evolved to become the real Digimon and associated world which form the premise of the series. Merchandise exists of said franchise, most prominently the card game, and it's implied that an anime series starring an Agumon as the lead exists (which is only implied to be the same as the real life Digimon Adventure in the original version, while in the dub more explicit references were added).

Ultima: The Avatar is from the real world where the Ultima games exist, including Ultima V in Ultima VI, Ultima VI in Martian Dreams, Ultima VII in Ultima VII, Ultima VIII in Ultima VII Part II, and Ultima Online 2 in Ultima IX. Wall paintings in Ultima Underworld and Ultima Underworld II are the box art of previous games. Bartenders in Ultima III mention "EXODUS: Ultima ]I[". Ultima VII contains the Ultima VII strategy guide "Key to the Black Gate" and Prima strategy guide "Ultima: The Avatar Adventures".

The Myst video game series is based — or so Canon claims — on the actual journals of the characters, but the games are heavily abridged versions of the "real" events, and starring a faceless, sexless Stranger instead of the as of yet unnamed real character. This was taken further with the release of Uru: Ages Beyond Myst, which tells the story of modern-day archeologists exploring the caverns of D'ni, and even further still in Myst V: End of Ages, which tries to specificise some events hinted at in Uru. It was finally taken to the Kayfabe level, where Cyan Worlds employees often present the idea that all of the Myst series, including Myst V and Uru, exist as fictionalized accounts of real events.

Russo's Return of the Living Dead movies portray the film Night of the Living Dead as a Hollywood adaptation of a true story. Characters in his films refer to it and point out aspects that don't conform to their "reality." One character in the first film moans, "You mean the movie lied?". Amusingly, in the Return universe, Night of the Living Dead is a well-known movie, but the (surely astonishing!) true events it's based on are obscure. Romero's sequels, on the other hand, are set in the same fictional universe as NotLD.

In one Paperinik story he explains to a captured petty thief how he can afford being a superhero: he tried being financed by the city, but became shackled by bureaucracy, and he tried to get corporate sponsorship (Scrooge McDuck, of course) but that also got in the way of actual, y'know, crimefighting. So in the end he sells the right to publish stories about himself to Disney, which finances his gadgetry and whatnot. Then it gets meta by way of Rule of Funny; the thief uses Donald's blabbering to escape, and he turns to the reader and, basically, says: "Please don't tell Disney Comics about this screw-up!"

Spaceballs: In one of several completely self-referential No Fourth Wall gags, the bad guys watch a tape of the movie they're currently in to learn where the good guys are headed. They end up stopping the tape at the exact same scene they're in, and briefly watch it in real time. Colonel Sandurz explains that, thanks to "a new breakthrough in home video marketing," it's now possible for "instant" VHS cassettes of movies to become available in stores before they've even finished filming.

There is a Nick Verse that exists with various Nickelodeon shows, mostly centered on the works produced by Dan Schneider. Continuity is played fast and loose, with later series often implying that previous ones are both within the same continuity and Show Within a Show. For example, one episode of Victorious has a character refer to an episode of Drake & Josh, indicating it's a television series in that continuity. But another episode has a supporting character from that series appear...

Done within the same series with Martian Successor Nadesico. The Nadesico crew enjoys watching Gekiganger III, an affectionate parody of old Super Robot shows. All is fine and well until the 14th episode, where the show becomes an episode of Gekiganger III watching their favourite show, Martian Successor Nadesico. It gets even more confusing when the show ends off with it being an episode being watched by the crew of the Nadesico.

All this is the result of Marvel's evolving approach to the fourth wall. In early Silver Age comics, especially the Fantastic Four, the comics referred to in the books really did seem to be the same ones you were holding in your hand, with Stan Lee and Jack Kirby making cameos fairly often and the stories supposedly being retellings of events related by the characters (helped by the FF not having secret identities), heightening the sense that Marvel comics took place in the "world outside your window". This became untenable as time went on, eventually being replaced by the modern "Marvels comics" concept; as late as 1984's "Assistant Editors' Month" event some stories still seemed to pay lip service to the notion that Marvel comics literally existed in the Marvel universe, but by the late 80s Damage Control depicted She-Hulk as breaking the fourth wall as she did in her solo book at the time, but that everyone else thought she was crazy for thinking she was a comic book character.

In Half in the Bag, Mike Stoklasa acts as the creator of the Plinkett reviews in episodes where they screen the Star Wars Episode I review at conventions, despite the fact that a different Plinkett exists in their universe. In the RedLetterMedia teaser videos, Mr. Plinkett (who seems to be the same Plinkett as the review universe) calls Half in the Bag "our new review show," and he also acknowledges the existence of Mike and Jay (calling them frauds). In both the HitB universe and RLM teasers, Feeding Frenzy is acknowledged as a work of fiction, despite featuring yet another version of Harry S. Plinkett.

In Duke Nukem 3D, a Duke Nukem arcade cabinet can be found in the first level, and has on it his appearance from the previous platformer games. Using it provokes the quip "Hmm... don't have time to play with myself." Likewise in Duke Nukem Forever, we find out that the first level of the game is a recreation of the final boss from 3D, and when the level is over, we pan out of a TV screen to see that Duke himself is playing a video game based off himself, all while one of the game developer's spokeswomen was... shall we say... "helping herself" to him while he was playing.

Lupin III: One of the few traits kept from the missing wall—style of the Manga. The franchise has no problem with the idea that Lupin has been fictionalized In-Universe.
Lupin III reading Lupin III.
Lupin III vs. Detective Conan, Kogoro Mouri mentions a Lupin III comic, which is a Call-Back to several earlier Detective Conan stories (particularly the eleventh movie, where a pair of bank robbers wear Lupin & Fujiko masks).
An Arab monarch is a fan of the Lupin III television series (since this takes place in the Lupin III: Part II series, assume he means that one), so he is not surprised when the Lupin gang shows up in his country.
Green vs. Red shows us a movie poster for The Castle of Cagliostro in one of the Lupin's rooms. (Yes, one of. Best not to ask if he's the real one.)

Gremlins 2: The New Batch has a scene where the Gremlins attack Leonard Maltin while he's giving a bad review to the first film. Then again, this is also a movie where the film is torn in half by the Gremlins, and Hulk Hogan has to threaten the Gremlins into re-starting the movie.

The entirety of The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings and its appendices are supposedly transcriptions from the Red Book of Westmarch, written by Bilbo and later Frodo. They're called "The Downfall of the Lord of the Rings and the Return of the King." The Silmarillion and other stories of Elvish heroes are from Bilbo's three-volume work "Translations from the Elvish."

At the Yoshi theater in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, one of the films that are set to play is Mario & Luigi. It's referred to as an action blockbuster. The end of the game reveals that the game itself was this film.

There's a subtle example in the tenth installment of the Dark Parables. The Fairy Tale Detective, while exploring the castle occupied by Queen Valla and her sister Goldilocks, comes across novelizations of the previous nine games in the series. When placed in numerical order on the shelf, they unlock a Bookcase Passage. The detective doesn't comment on it, probably because this is hardly the weirdest thing she's encountered in the series.

Happy Heroes:
According to episode 27, Happy S.'s favorite cartoon is Happy Heroes.
In Season 4 episode 49, a robot child mentions that, thanks to the large bubble dome created by Sweet S. and covering the city, that "I can't go home to watch Happy Heroes!"
In the first episode of Season 7, Mr. Lightbulb advertises and tries to sell in-universe DVDs of Season 6 of Happy Heroes.
