** Goes UpToEleven in ''Film/Deadpool2'' where Deadpool goes back in time to eliminate, not just the aforementioned no-mouthed version of Deadpool, but even ''Ryan Reynolds'' just before he can start filming the lead role in the ''Film/GreenLantern2011'' movie.

* Creator/SethRogen: In ''Film/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'', [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing2019 2019 Pumbaa]], [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda Mantis]], and [[WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens B.O.B]] appear at the convention to mock Bob the Dwarf, all four characters being played by Rogen. They even all do his signature laugh.

* Creator/JohnDiMaggio: In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode, "[[Recap/FuturamaS7E22LeelaAndTheGenestalk 7 E 22 Leela And The Genestalk]]" Bender runs into Finn and Jake from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''. Both Bender and Jake are voiced by [=DiMaggio=].

* Creator/HarrisonFord: ''ComicBook/StarWarsTales'' #19, "Into the Great Unknown", has the Millennium Falcon crash land on a planet that turns out to be EarthAllAlong. It ends years later with ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' finding Han Solo's skeleton. (Canonicity of this comic is often disputed; ''Star Wars Tales'' is an official publication but some of the tales in it are officially apocryphal.) The two characters also crossed over in VideoGame/{{LEGO Adaptation Game}}s; with Indy being a GuestFighter in ''VideoGame/LEGOStarWars: The Complete Saga'' and Han being one in ''VideoGame/LEGOIndianaJones: The Original Adventures''.

* Creator/BillMurray: The Operations Manual for West End Games' ''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}: A Frightfully Cheerful Roleplaying Game'', published in 1986, contains an adventure titled "The Couch Potato," in which (assuming the players are using the characters from the movie) Dr. Peter Venkman meets a character named Dr. Hunter Panama. The manual notes right away that Doctor Panama is based on Dr. Hunter Thompson and suggests watching the movie ''Film/WhereTheBuffaloRoam'', in which he is played by Bill Murray (who, in case you can't guess, also played Dr. Venkman), to give you ideas on how to play the character. The manual also remarks that two Bill Murray characters playing off each other appeals to their schizophrenia.

* In ''Film/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'', [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing2019 2019 Pumbaa]], [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda Mantis]], and [[WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens B.O.B]] appear at the convention to mock Bob the Dwarf, all four characters being played by Creator/SethRogen. They even all do his signature laugh.

** In [[Creator/CrossGen CrossGen's]] ''John Carpenter's Snake Plissken Chronicles'', Snake teams up with a fisherman called Captain Ron. Named after Russell's character in the [[Film/CaptainRon movie of the same name]]. Sadly this version is an old black man who looks nothing like Kurt Russell.

*** With ''Supernatural'' turning out to be such a LongRunner, the age thing is no longer such an issue. As of 2019-2021, Dean now ''is'' in his forties on the show and we're in the timeframe that ''Dark Angel'' was set.

** There are several ''Supernatural'' and ''Series/DarkAngel'' crossover fics. Their ubiquity isn't surprising, as Creator/JensenAckles's characters in ''Dark Angel'', the twins Ben and Alec, were genetically engineered, and thus could conceivably be clones of Dean from ''Supernatural'' as an ObviousCrossoverMethod. In light of that, and the TwinThreesomeFantasy trope, it was probably inevitable. However, ''Dark Angel'' is set TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture. So, if Dean isn't going to be in his forties, either time travel or alteration to the canonical timeframe is necessary in order for the characters to interact at their onscreen ages. Or heck, they could be parallel universes. One form of fic which is surprisingly common despite messing '''heavily''' with the timeline is the story in which Alec left Seattle after "Freak Nation" and became Dean.
