That Baywatch show on friends looks good.

"Always running"

Once (I liked it so much I saw it twice...my apologies to Ted Lasso)

I don't know if that fits the definition, but it's an album being written within a movie which sounds like "media within media" to me.

"The Deb of Night" radio show from Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is consistently hilarious and a great way to relax between the more horrific parts of the game. Bonus points for one of the regular callers guessing the plot of the game by complete chance and one of the main villains calling in to threaten whoever might be listening.

I occasionally on long drives will queue up the full playlist of The Deb of Night and treat it as real radio.

The Dick Van Dike show is a great one.

The Marvelous Misses Maisel

The game from the startreck like episode on BlackMirror and Sword Art Online! Both are arguably great.

The twilight zone episode about the podcast and the airplane is amazing too.

Yes, with a fictional Public Radio host, his show is the podcast.

Not really media within media then is it? It's just plain media.

All the ads in Robocop and Starship Troopers really

Three Dog, the radio DJ for "Galaxy News Radio" within Fallout 3, was one of the best parts of the game.

The Fallout series has lots of other media within media too, like the Grognak the Barbarian comic series or Cat's Paw magazine.

Interdimensional Cable from Rick and Morty is outrageous. GTA's radio stations (VCPR was the best) and TV shows are often really funny. The Pißwasser beer commercial from IV always gets me.

The Navidson Record from House of Leaves, although it's questionable whether it is supposed to actually exist within the narrative.

“Scary door” from Futurama

It’s a play on the twilight zone and it’s quite something.

“A casino where I’m always winning? This must be heaven!” “A casino where I always win… I must actually be… IN HELL!”

“No Mr. smith. You’re not in heaven or hell. You’re on an airplane!”

“Help! There’s a gremlin destroying the plane! You’ve gotta believe me!”

“Why should I believe you?! You’re Hitler!”

For those interested: The Scary Door

It's Twilight Zone, but only the twists
