Added DiffLines:

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Chaotic}}'' we have Peyton. One of the four main characters, who is very similar to a teenage version of Creator/JackBlack in both his appearance, speech and demeanor.

* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' involved a science fiction movie starring "Harold Edsel" and "Karen Fishhook", who bore suspiciously strong resemblances to Creator/HarrisonFord and Creator/CarrieFisher, respectively. Interestingly, about twenty years later, Ford would make a more overt Transformers appearance: Creator/{{Hasbro}} produced a "Franchise/StarWars Transformers" toy line, with Han Solo as one of the featured characters. Even more interestingly, is what happened much sooner than that. In ''WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie'', Susan Blu, who voiced Karen Fishhook, would also provide the voice of one of the franchises most popular female characters, Arcee. WordOfGod has actually gone on to describe Arcee's character design as being "the robotic equivalent of a naked Princess Leia", the character Fisher is best known for.

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'': Creator/MarkHamill has said that his performance of The Joker was a mixture of Hannibal Lector and Jerry Lewis.
** The ''Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse'' is somewhat peppered with this, particularly for ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' and ''Justice League Unlimited''. Because of the number of voices required with a limited cast, voice actors would break out voice imitations to make a more significant variety. Notably, Michael Rosenbaum's Deadshot was an imitation of Creator/KevinSpacey, and Creator/{{Phil LaMarr}}'s version of Steel was somewhat based on Creator/MorganFreeman. Rosenbaum also gave Ghoul, one of the Jokerz in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker'' and an episode of ''Justice League Unlimited'', the voice of Creator/ChristopherWalken.
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'': In "Sentries of the Last Cosmos", Eldon Michaels, the creator of "Sentries" was an amalgamation of Creator/GeorgeLucas, Creator/GaryGygax, and Bruce Vilanch.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'''s version of the Riddler is best described, visually speaking, as Music/MarilynManson wearing a ton of green.
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'''s incarnation of the [[Creator/NeilPatrickHarris Music Meister]] seems to be a thinly veiled parody of famous pianists Music/EltonJohn and Liberace.



** Ranger Jinx from ''WesternAnimation/{{Mixels}}''
* In the first two seasons of ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'', G. Gordon Godfrey is basically Bill O'Reilly. In Season 3, he's Tucker Carlson right down to the cadence.

Added DiffLines:

** Copycat is clearly based on Music/DeanMartin, sharing his appearance and voice.
** Red Mantle and Dragon are heavily implied to be Music/BuddyHolly and Music/TheBigBopper respectively, as they were musicians who were recruited into the Guild prior to getting on a plane, with their deaths faked. [[UncertainDoom it's unclear]] if the same offer was extended to Music/RitchieValens

** The Bakshi episode "Mighty's Tone Poem" featured a quick scene with a cartoon version of Merv Griffin. The antagonist of "The Bride of Mighty Mouse" was patterned after Cary Grant.

** The Bakshi episode "Mighty's Tone Poem" featured a quick scene with a cartoon version of Merv Griffin. The antagonist of "The Bride of Mighty Mouse" was patterned after Cary Grant. The episode "Don't Touch That Dial" had two examples: the Mister E figure was a hybrid of Ed Sullivan and Mr. T, while the Rocky of the "Rocky and Hoodwinkle" bit was a caricature of Rocky Balboa.
