Examples: Itchy & Scratchy from The Simpsons, The Scary Door from Futurama, or The Grand Inquisitor from Dostoevsky.
“Invitation to Love”, the soap opera within the show “Twin Peaks”.
Ow! My balls! from Idiocracy
There’s been some stuff coming out lately that makes me think this show isn’t far off.
Sick Sad World from Daria. I’d love that show
30 Rock has quite a few good ones:
- M.I.L.F Island
- Bitch Hunter
- TGS
- The satirized version of NBC in the show (lots of ‘biting the hand’ humor)
Can’t forget The Rural Juror
Invitation To Love the soap opera that a lot of residents of Twin Peaks, especially Nadine, seemingly adored.
The “Busty Asian Beauties” running gag in supernatural. Was a magazine, website etc. Always gave me a chuckle.
Tales of the Black Freighter from the Watchmen comics is pretty awesome.
All My Circuits on Futurama is one of my favorites on tv. Dramatic beeping intensifies.
“Sick, Sad World” from Daria
Wormhole X-Treme! from Stargate SG-1
“what do you mean it’s not a real show? Does my agent know? I still get paid with real money though right?”
The hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy
“Well, that about wraps it up for God” by Oolon Colluphid
The book House of Leaves is presented as a documentary within a book within a book. Really fun read, too
I wonder how many times someone has tried to turn House Of Leaves into a movie or a series. It would be pretty wild no matter how they tried it.
I’m sure plenty of times, but the horror in HOL is pretty minimal tbh, I can’t imagine it would be easy to do.
Someone did make a phenomenal DOOM mod inspired by it though
After watching this very playthrough of MyHouse a few months ago, I still remember a few scenes. So very unsettling. buddy’s narration style is really compelling too.
