I'm pretty sure the Bartman and Busman examples count as this trope?

** Similarly, the season 2 episode "Three Men and a Comic Book" resulted in the defictionalizing of both Bart's imaginary superhero identity "Bartman" and Otto's own pitched comic of "Busman". The latter has, to date, only made a single appearance in the story "The Gnarly Adventures of Busman", an issue of the real-world Simpsons comic that tells the story of a typical Busman issue, in the vein of Radioactive Man. Bartman had his own 6-issue mini-series of comics in the 1990s, was the star of several of the early Simpsons tie-in games, has had a dedicated crossover story with Radioactive Man, has made cameos as an unlockable costume or powerup for Bart in several other Simpsons games, and even been the star of one segment of the season 18 episode "Revenge is a Dish Best Served Three Times".

Duff logos are blurred out, and any occurrence of the word "Duff" in spoken dialogues has been shortened to "Uff".
