| 13 | Sometimes the logos in the TitleSequence just aren't enough. Maybe the companies that made the series, film, or game are taking pride in their work, maybe they just like {{Easter Egg}}s and {{Freeze Frame Bonus}}es, or maybe they're poking fun [[SelfDeprecation at themselves]] or [[BitingTheHandHumor at the higher-ups]]. Either way, they're literally leaving their mark within their media, as well as out. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Logos are the most common form of this, though other forms, such as direct namedrops and [[SignificantMonogram initialisms]], exist too. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | A SubTrope of TheCameo. Compare with CreatorCameo; this trope encompasses a company at large, while that trope highlights particular people. The two can possibly overlap, though (such as a game having a DevelopersRoom based on the company itself, which contains appearances from people who worked on it). See also ProductPlacement, which in this case is a meta placement of the company itself, CompanyCrossReferences, which are nods to other works that are produced or owned by the same studio (or another that they work under), and ConsoleCameo, where a game references the hardware that it's on. |

| 125 | *** Cranky's Monkey Museum contains the logos of both Nintendo and Rare among the various objects in the background. |
| 126 | *** The Giant Bananas with Nintendo's logo return from the first game. One appears in Swanky's Bonus Bonanza, and a few appear in the final boss arena, the Flying Krock. |
| 127 | ** The backs of the cards in ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongLandIII''[='s=] memory match minigame have Rareware's R on them. |

| 130 | *** The small arches leading to Tiny Kong's racing mission in Frantic Factory have Rareware's golden R in the middle of them. |

| 132 | *** Two major collectibles that are required to reach the FinalBoss are the Nintendo Coin, which has the [=N64=] logo on it, and the Rareware Coin, emblazoned with the company's golden "R" logo (unlike the Rareware Golden Banana, it doesn't have the blue box surrounding it). Both items are hidden in {{Embedded Precursor}}s of games made by the companies earlier; Nintendo's is rewarded for completing round 2 of ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong'', while Rare's randomly spawns as a pickup when you earn 5000 or more points in ''VideoGame/{{Jetpac}}'', a game made by Rare back when they were known as Ultimate Play The Game. |

On top of granting bonus score, the lamps grant power up, life up, or max life up depending on the stage they're found in. For Giant Fist, the Lucky Lamp is hidden in specific tiles in certain stages. Finding it releases the Lucky Djinn, who grants unlimited use of special attacks and the use of EXTRAPOWER attacks without needing to be at low health. Not bad for finding the company logo! |

| 149 | ** ''VideoGame/JustCause4'' has the [[https://justcause.fandom.com/wiki/Avalanche_Studios_Deck_Chair Avalanche Studios Deck Chairs]], which boast the studio's logo on the back. You can sit in them to watch the scenery, hang out with animals, and pass time on the InUniverseGameClock. |
| 150 | * ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' references its creators, Creator/HALLaboratory, several times throughout the series: |
| 151 | ** A recurring EasterEgg throughout the series is the [[https://wikirby.com/wiki/HAL_Room HAL Room]], so named because it contains those three letters built into the room itself. Other games that don't have such rooms will often find a way to hide the letters elsewhere, such as ''VideoGame/KirbysBlowoutBlast'' having coins appear in three separate locations of the final level that are arranged to spell "H", "A", and "L". |
| 152 | ** Starting with ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar Ultra'', one of the possible transformations of the [[https://wikirby.com/wiki/Stone Stone]] ability is a golden box with HAL's logo, the Dream Hatcher, on the front of it. |

| 157 | ** The three corporations in the background of ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheForgottenLand'' are called '''H'''oline, '''A'''livel, and '''L'''ightron, which spell out "HAL". |

| 178 | * ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' has the logo for Creator/DoubleFine show up as a figment in the Meat Circus. |
| 179 | * Throughout the ''VideoGame/PunchOut'' series, Doc Louis has random tips telling Little Mac to join Nintendo's external services. In ''Mike Tyson's...'' and ''...Featuring Mr. Dream'', he says to join the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Fun_Club Nintendo Fun Club]]; in the Wii ''Punch-Out!!'', he begins to say "Nintendo Fun-", but since that program had been defunct for two decades by the game's 2009 release, Doc corrects himself to "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_Nintendo Club Nintendo]]". In ''Doc Louis's Punch-Out!!'', a game which was only available by getting a code from Club Nintendo, he thanks Mac for having joined the club. |
| 180 | * ''VideoGame/PuttPutt Saves the Zoo'' has a billboard you can [[PopUpVideoGames click on]] that shows ads for various other Creator/HumongousEntertainment games; the last one makes it TropeName by simply saying "Shameless Humongous Entertainment self-promotion to be placed here." |
| 181 | * The ''VideoGame/{{Raskulls}}'' series likes to include Creator/HalfbrickStudios' logo in them: |
| 182 | ** In the original game, the King has a pile of literal half-bricks, which he often ties messages to and uses them as a means of delivering letters to his servants. |
| 183 | ** As a reference to the above, one of the attacks King has in the crossover game ''VideoGame/BattleRacingStars'' is a Brick Throw, where he throws said bricks forward. After upgrading them to level 3 they start resembling Halfbrick's logo, though they're not cut in half like the actual logo is. |
| 184 | ** ''Magic Brick Wars'': In the Mines sections of the game, a Halfbrick logo can be randomly found on the floor. |
| 185 | * ''Franchise/RatchetAndClank'': |
| 186 | ** A recurring bonus area is the [[DevelopersRoom Insomniac Museum]], so named for Creator/InsomniacGames, which appears in ''[[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankGoingCommando Going Commando]]'', ''[[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankUpYourArsenal Up Your Arsenal]]'', ''[[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankFutureACrackInTime A Crack in Time]]'', and ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank2016''. In the first three games, the location's layout is based on the studio Insomniac worked in, and gives information and tidbits about the development of those games, including design choices, concepts, and DummiedOut or otherwise unused content. In the 2016 game, it's instead a warehouse that's host to a bunch of assets, props, pictures, and more from across the franchise's at-the-time 14-year history. In ''Up Your Arsenal'' and ''A Crack in Time'', its planet model (and map icon, for the latter) are also based on the full moon that was Insomniac's logo at the time. |
| 187 | ** ''Going Commando'' and ''Up Your Arsenal'' have a video game console called the [[https://tcrf.net/File:Rc3_beta_phoenix_gamepyramid.jpg Insomniac Game Pyramid]], based on Insomniac Games. As its name implies, it's a small pyramid with Insomniac's full moon logo on the sides. In the former game you can find it in Clank's Megapolis apartment, where you can use the Dynamo on it to play Sheep Invaders prior to unlocking the minigame in the Extras menu, or [[SelfDeprecation destroy it]] to get 1024 [[GlobalCurrency bolts]]. In the latter game it appears in the Insomniac Museum, where you can play the unused Vid-Comic and Vid-Comic 1 Special Edition on it. |
| 188 | ** In ''Going Commando'' and ''Up Your Arsenal'', you can earn new paintjobs for Ratchet's [[CoolStarship Star Explorer]] by getting Skill Points. The last one you unlock is entitled "Insomniac Special", which is black with blue and silver accents and Insomniac Games' full moon logo on the nose and wings. |
| 189 | ** ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankSizeMatters'' and ''VideoGame/SecretAgentClank'' were developed by Creator/HighImpactGames rather than Insomniac. They have their own take on the Insomniac Museum called the High Impact Games Treehouse, based on the treehouse from their old logo. |
| 190 | * The final stage of ''VideoGame/RugratsSearchForReptar'', "Reptar 2010", has the logo of publisher Creator/{{THQ}} on one of the buildings, and it's possible to attack it just like the rest of the buildings - likely inspired by [[Recap/RugratsS3E9Reptar2010StuGetsAJob the episode of the cartoon with the same name]] having a building with ''Rugrats'' creator Viacom on it get destroyed by Reptar. |
| 191 | * ''VideoGame/{{Scribblenauts}}'': The last main constellation of ''Super Scribblenauts'' is the logo for the developers, Creator/FifthCell. |
| 192 | * It's quite common for the ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' series to have something show up with an Creator/{{Atlus}} branding on it; for example, ''[[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne Nocturne]]'' and ''VideoGame/Persona4'' both have Atlus vending machines. |
| 193 | * In all four campaigns of ''VideoGame/ShovelKnight'', Pridemoor Castle has an OffscreenStartBonus with a treasure chest sitting under a ceiling. If you attack the ceiling, its tiles explode and reveal behind them an 8-bit rendition of Creator/YachtClubGames' logo. |
| 194 | * Played with in ''VideoGame/TheSimpsonsGame'', where, to progress in the fifth level, Lisa has to put together a square, circle, and triangle in order, and the characters then comment that it looks like a corporation logo. The joke is that the game was developed by Creator/EAGames, and the logo is their earlier logo. |
| 195 | * ''VideoGame/TheSims2'' has an in-universe game console named the Maxis[[{{Tradesnark}} ™]] Game Simulator, so named for the game's creators, Maxis. |
| 196 | * ''Franchise/SlyCooper'': |
| 197 | ** In ''VideoGame/SlyCooperAndTheThieviusRaccoonus'', the racetrack level "At the Dog Track" has a billboard of developers Creator/SuckerPunch on one of the first turns. |
| 198 | ** In ''VideoGame/SlyCooperThievesInTime'', Creator/SanzaruGames' monkey head logo makes several appearances throughout the game, ranging from an insignia on Sly's backpack, to an unlockable Paraglider reskin, to the brand of a collectible branding iron treasure. |
| 199 | * Some of the courses in ''VideoGame/SnowboardKids'' have banners with the names of series producers Atlus and Racjin on them; Big Snowman, for example, has them both right at the finish line. |
| 200 | * ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' contains many advertisements in the first level of the Hero story, City Escape; among them is one with Creator/SonicTeam's logo and website URL. |
| 201 | * ''[[VideoGame/SegaSuperstars Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed]]'' has the Race of Ages track and the [[SdrawkcabName AGES]] vehicle, both nodding to Creator/{{Sega}} and one of their old {{tag line}}s for the Platform/SegaGenesis: "To be this good takes AGES. To be this good takes SEGA." |
| 202 | * ''VideoGame/{{SSX}} 3'' has several appearances of the logo of its developers [[Creator/ElectronicArts EA Sports BIG]], such as on the front of every winners' podium, and on banners attached between the upper halfpipes in Perpendiculous. |
| 203 | * ''VideoGame/SuperKiwi64'': Some of the announcements placed in City 64 (the first level of the ''Doomsday'' campaign) feature the logo of Creator/{{Siactro}}, the developers of the game. |
| 204 | * ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'': |
| 205 | ** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosSpecial'', developed by Creator/HudsonSoft, has the bee that serves as the company's mascot appear in World 1-1 [[https://www.mariowiki.com/Hachisuke as a collectible item]], which awards 8000 points. |
| 206 | ** Several ''VideoGame/MarioKart'' titles feature advertisements for Nintendo on tracks, particularly in stadiums that make sense to have advertisements in them. ''VideoGame/MarioKart64''[='s=] renditions of Luigi Circuit and Mario Circuit and the Luigi Circuit in ''VideoGame/MarioKartDoubleDash'' are but a handful of examples. |
| 207 | ** The ''VideoGame/MarioParty4'' minigame "[[https://www.mariowiki.com/GOOOOOOOAL!! GOOOOOOOAL!!]]" is set in a soccer stadium. There are advertisements bearing logos on both sides of the stadium wall behind the net: the left side has ''Mario Party'' developers Hudson Soft, while the right side has ''Mario'' creators Nintendo. Nintendo's logo also changes between regions -- blue in the Japanese version of the game, red elsewhere. |
| 208 | ** ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion3'': Floor 11 of The Last Resort has three ghosts as the boss. In many languages, their names [[FunWithAcronyms start with the same letters]] as the game's developers, Creator/NextLevelGames -- among others, they're Nikki, Lindsey, and Ginny in English and French; Nova, Luz, and Gala in Spanish; and Nina, Loes and Guusje in Dutch. |
| 209 | * ''VideoGame/SuperMonkeyBall'': |
| 210 | ** The first game has a stage that's the logo of Creator/{{Sega}}, laid out horizontally so that your monkey rolls around on the "front" of the letters. |
| 211 | ** ''2'' has a level where the website URL for Amusement Vision, the division of Sega that produced the series, is on a wall that pops out and can push you off the level. |
| 212 | * ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee'': Oddly, [[https://www.ssbwiki.com/File:Royhal.png the texture for Roy's sword]] has [[Creator/HALLaboratory HAL LABRATORY.INC]] [sic] written on it. |
| 213 | * Among the many documents in ''VideoGame/TheTalosPrinciple'', one of them, [[https://talosprinciple.fandom.com/wiki/Progress_rep3.eml Progress rep3.eml]], is an email detailing the creation of the simulation that makes up the game you're playing (out-of-universe). Part of the email has been corrupted, but if you translate the hex code making up the corruption, it reads that the simulation is built on "the Serious Engine 7.5, which Croteam have kindly made available to us". Croteam is, of course, the company that made ''The Talos Principle''. |
| 214 | * Round 29 of ''[[VideoGame/BattleCity Tank Force]]'' has red walls in the center that are made to resemble Namco's logo. |
| 215 | * ''VideoGame/TonyHawksProSkater'' loves to reference its developers Creator/{{Neversoft}}: |
| 216 | ** In general, it's not uncommon to find random halfpipes, quarterpipes and kickers with Neversoft stickers on them throughout the series. |
| 217 | ** In the first ''VideoGame/TonyHawksUnderground'', the Slam City Jam stadium has banners with the logo of Neversoft among the various other real-life companies adorning the fences and walls. |
| 218 | ** In ''Underground 2'', the chainsaw used for a prank near the beginning of the game has Neversoft's logo on it. |
| 219 | ** ''Tony Hawk's Project 8'': |
| 220 | *** The Capitol area has a shipping crate with Neversoft's name on it in a fenced-off area at the edge of the map near the water. |
| 221 | *** The currency, Stokens, is more-or-less just a recreation of Neversoft's iconic impaled eyeball symbol. |
| 222 | ** In ''Proving Ground'', the bridge under construction has a Neversoft billboard near it. |
| 223 | * ''VideoGame/TowerOfFantasy'': Hotta Studio's logo is usually splashed on screens around Aesperia. They also have an in-universe version of their studio located in Mirroria City beside the Oasis Club, and the player character can join them as a temporary worker helping the overworked employees in designing boss monsters before the deadline. |
| 224 | * ''VideoGame/UnrealTournament'': The ceiling of the team flag bases in the map CTF-Orbital, from the GameOfTheYearEdition and the [[DownloadableContent DE Bonus Pack]] features the logo of Creator/DigitalExtremes. |
| 225 | * ''VideoGame/{{Valis}} III'' has three different publisher-specific cameos in the same game. The first boss fight in the game is done against the backdrop of a neon sign bearing a logo. In the Platform/TurboGrafx16 version, it's NEC; in the later Platform/NintendoSwitch compilation, the same sign is editted to read Edia Smart Media Company; finally, in the Platform/SegaGenesis version, it's "Reno", short for Renovation, Telenet Japan's NA publishing arm. |
| 226 | * The Tri-Emblem is found in many of Creator/TriAce's games, such as ''VideoGame/ValkyrieProfile'' and the ''VideoGame/StarOcean'' series. It's shaped like their logo and is usually the most powerful accessory in the game. |
| 227 | * ''VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines'': A non-sequitur in the DialogueTree near the endgame lets you ask your ally Mercurio about Creator/TroikaGames, the developer. Mercurio name-drops the founders and implies that they might soon be KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade. |
| 228 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}'', you can find the logo of Creator/DigitalExtremes hidden in each friendly town you can visit, which you can interact with to show an amateur-styled staff roll. |
| 229 | * ''VideoGame/WiiSports'': Nintendo logos are displayed on advertisements and decorations around the various sporting arenas. |
| 230 | * Three for Creator/PlatinumGames in ''VideoGame/TheWonderful101'': |
| 231 | ** Each non-boss level has five Platinum Coins which have Platinum's logo on them. Find all five and you'll get an item. |
| 232 | ** The supercomputer that controls the forcefield protecting Earth, Mother Platinum, is stylized after the star in Platinum's logo. |
| 233 | ** Finally, after completing the game, a special Unite Morph called Platinum Forever is unlocked, which, when used, turns the team into Platinum's logo and fires a giant beam at the foes. |
| 234 | * In ''VideoGame/YoshisStory'', the levels "Jelly Pipe" and "Torrential Maze" have newspaper clippings making up the background. In addition to the several CompanyCrossReferences that they contain, such as the names of VideoGame/{{Wario}}, [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Zelda]], and [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]], you can also spot Nintendo's name in them. |
| 235 | * In the [=DSi=] version of ''VideoGame/{{Zuma}}'s Revenge!'', Creator/PopCapGames' logo appears at the very bottom of the Achievements menu in the Tiki Temple. |
| 236 | [[/folder]] |
| 237 | |
| 238 | [[folder:Web Animation]] |
| 239 | * ''WebAnimation/TheMightyGrandPiton'': The logo of THE LINE Animation appears when Grand Piton is fighting a giant bug at an airport... As the logo of an airline, reading THE Air LINE. |
| 240 | [[/folder]] |
| 241 | |
| 242 | [[folder:Web Videos]] |
| 243 | * ''WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory'': Near the end of "Creator/JimHenson vs. Creator/StanLee," Creator/WaltDisney, representing the Creator/{{Disney}} brand, pops up to do a verse bragging about how much his company owns, including the ''ERBOH'' series itself. When Disney shows Henson and Lee his "empire of joy," one of the logos depicted is that of Maker Studios, the Disney-owned subsidiary that produced ''ERBOH'' at the time, with the ''ERBOH'' logo right below it. |
| 244 | -->'''Disney:''' I'm owning this battle! In fact, I own this whole ''series''! |
| 245 | [[/folder]] |
| 246 | |
| 247 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 248 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' episode "The Shippening" is about Sarah finding a magic notebook that makes any stories written into it become a reality, and using it to ship everyone in Elmore with each other. Said notebook has the logo of the show's production company and broadcast channel, Creator/CartoonNetwork, on the front cover in gold, implying it's used to write episodes of the show. |
| 249 | * ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': "Blagsnarst: A Love Story", the final episode to air on Creator/{{Fox}} Network before the show moved to Creator/{{TBS}}, ends with Stan reading aloud from a book labelled "''American Dad!'' on Fox" and then putting the book on a shelf once he's finished. |
| 250 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' centers on Creator/WarnerBros characters who live/work on the studio lot; the main characters Yakko, Wakko, and Dot Warner regularly introduce themselves as the Warner Brothers (and the Warner Sister). |
| 251 | %%* ''WesternAnimation/Animaniacs2020'' has multiple references to Creator/{{Hulu}}, where the series is streamed. %%Exanple needs to be more specific than that. |
| 252 | * Even putting its numerous fourth wall breaks aside, ''WesternAnimation/BigMouth'' often references its host service Creator/{{Netflix}}. Sometimes it's in a positive context (like in "Pillow Talk," when Nick sobs over his parents grounding him from watching Netflix), sometimes it's [[BitingTheHandHumor more negative]] (like in "How To Have an Orgasm" when Maury makes fun of the ''Series/ThirteenReasonsWhy'' backlash), and sometimes it's a mix of both (Nick gushing about Netflix to Gina in "The Shame Wizard," only for the scene to cut out when he offers to share his password). |
| 253 | * In the final episode of the Netflix show ''WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman'', a newspaper cover is briefly shown reviewing a show on "Nextflix" that has "too many giraffe jokes." May also double as SelfDeprecation about ''[=BoJack=]'' frequently using animal puns for comedy. |
| 254 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}'' episode "Gazpacho Stands Up", Creator/CartoonNetwork's channel logo [[NinjaProp is acknowledged in-universe]] when Gazpacho wipes Chowder's handwriting [[BreakingTheFourthWall off the screen]]. Chowder asks if he can get the logo off of the screen too, only for Gazpacho to [[https://chowder.fandom.com/wiki/Breaking_Down_the_Fourth_Wall?file=Gazpacho_cn_logo.png point at it]] and say that it doesn't come off; the channel's at-the-time logo was actually drawn into the scene for this joke. |
| 255 | * ''WesternAnimation/CraigOfTheCreek'': In the MusicalEpisode "In the Key of the Creek", during the song "The Creek is Everywhere", one of the real-life photos that flashes by in the background is one of Creator/CartoonNetwork's headquarters in Burbank. |
| 256 | * In the Paramount-produced show ''WesternAnimation/{{Duckman}}'', the episode "Inherit the Judgement: The Dope's Trial" has Duckman reveal that he won his court case because a higher power was on his side. The camera pans to an animated Paramount logo, complete with fanfare. It can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_m4tHsW2vQY here]]. |
| 257 | * ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': Frequent references are made to the network the show used to air on, Fox, with the characters mentioning Fox's influence on the show and even having Fox executives and employees occasionally make appearances in the series. One such example, used as a TakeThat, is Peter bringing up Fox canceling their show before [[LongList rattling off a list of nearly three dozen other shows]] that Fox Network ran and also canceled before {{un|Canceled}}-canceling ''Family Guy''. |
| 258 | * ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw'': A minor RunningGag is that whenever conglomerates are mentioned, a small business sign is displayed with the line "An [[Creator/WarnerBrosDiscovery AOL Time Warner]] Co". |
| 259 | * ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': One of the franchise's hallmarks is that [[NoFourthWall the characters know what studio they work for]]. |
| 260 | * ''WesternAnimation/MrBeanTheAnimatedSeries'': In "Wanted", shortly after Mr. Bean incorrectly gets sent to jail (due to a similar-looking escaped convict who takes refuge in Bean's flat), one inmate mentions that he really wants to get sent to [[Creator/VargaStudio Varga]]. Varga is the animation studio that provides the overseas animation for the first season. |
| 261 | * ''WesternAnimation/MyDadTheBountyHunter'': In the second episode, Grandma falls asleep while watching Creator/{{Netflix}}, the streamer that produces the show. |
| 262 | * ''[[WesternAnimation/{{OKKOLetsBeHeroes}} OK K.O! Let's Be Heroes]]'': The titular character keeps his Hero cards in a binder with the sticker of the Cartoon Network logo. |
| 263 | * An episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamily'' does this with a fly, using the logo for Jambalaya Studio. |
| 264 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' episode "[[Recap/RugratsS3E9Reptar2010StuGetsAJob Reptar 2010]]", Reptar is seen destroying a building labeled Creator/{{Viacom|CBS}}, the company who made ''Rugrats''. |
| 265 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' pokes fun at the FOX network [[https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Media_in_The_Simpsons#FOX quite frequently]], with examples such as Homer having an OhCrap reaction after accidentally investing in FOX's stocks, or Krusty saying that they're "known for taking chances on crap!". One of the more innocuous jokes involves the family living in the outlands and watching a literal fox sleeping on a rock. Another jab at Fox in the episode ''[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS10E5WhenYouDishUponAStar When You Dish Upon A Star]]'' [[HilariousInHindsight wound up predicting]] Fox's sale to Creator/{{Disney}} decades before it happened, with the Fox logo being labeled "A Division of Walt Disney Co". |
| 266 | * ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': In "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy III", the International Justice League of Super Acquaintances is introduced as "a subsidiary of Viacom"; Creator/{{Viacom|CBS}} being the company that owns Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}. |
| 267 | * One episode of ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' has Steven and Greg stop by the animation studio in Korea where the show is made. When Greg catches sight of his own model sheet, complete with the clothes he’s ''currently wearing'', he hurriedly ushers Steven away. |
