"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
by Douglas Adams is a book about a book called "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
Station eleven
The “Busty Asian Beauties” running gag in supernatural. Was a magazine, website etc. Always gave me a chuckle.
I didn't see this one in the list, but UNN newscast from Starcraft 2 is one of my favorites! Particularly Donny Vermillion.
Angels With Filthy Souls
The "adult" movie Kevin watches in Home Alone. Apparently the main dude who was supposed to be in those didn't show up so they just had some janitor or tech fill in and he went full ham on that shit and made it something to remember.
There's also the McBane movie in The Simpsons that shows up in multiple episodes and if you connected them all together they actually make a coherent story line (it's just riffing off Lethal Weapon anyway).
I was trying to remember the name and am so glad you brought Angels w Filthy souls.
IIRC the movie from Home Alone 2 was the sequel: Angels with Even Filthier Souls.
Oh my, I haven't watched the second one since, oh, November 2016, completely forgot that. Thank you, that's amazing.

McGarnigle from the Simpsons
Binky the Clown and The Buddy Bears from Garfield and Friends
Reptar from Rugrats
Invitation To Love the soap opera that a lot of residents of Twin Peaks, especially Nadine, seemingly adored.
Control: Threshold Kids
and Bitch Hunter from 30 Rock
Threshold Kids is delightfully creepy but ultimately painful to watch, which perfectly fits the setting.
By the same token, Night Springs from Alan Wake

"S." by Doug Dorst is in itself a fake novel, where the "real" story takes place as handwritten notes in the margins to form the complete story, the fake novel itself just a prop. But reading the novel-within-a-novel-that-is-the-novel "Ship of Thesus" by itself is an interesting short surreal read.
Fishing game in Ocarina of Time
In "day of the tentacle" Bernard could walk up to the computer and play the game preceding day of the tentacle. That was nice.
Maniac Mansion!!
That was the name! I had a hard time remembering. I loved that genre.
Same. And Day of the Tentacle was incredible
Tales of The Black Freighter in Watchmen. Comic in a comic.
Seven on 7 is a series of TV news shorts and commercials from The Boys universe. It's a delightful little parody of Fox News. The whole series is available free on YouTube.
Good Morning Glipglorp! From the Androids and Aliens podcast by the Glass Cannon Network. It was a random bit of world-building that the players latched on to and ran with and it turned into a whole episode.
The poems of Thomas Zane in the old gods of asgard concert in the book about max Payne in the video game Allen wake in the video game control in the amazing TV series the threshold kids in that song the janitor is singing.
... Pretty sure that's the continuity.
Mr Potato from Peppa Pig
The "Lucky Earther" mini documentary in S06 of the Expanse.
I’m surprised and saddened for it to have taken so long for someone (in this case, me) to have mentioned Astronaut Dolphin Detective from Mr Pickles.
"The Wall" in Solar Opposites. It's arguably better than the main story.
The main story has really picked up since Dan Stevens took over the voice of Korvo. IMO, it was a huge improvement. Also, the wall story isn’t as compelling as it used to be.
