Kudos to Dan Castellaneta, who voiced not one, but two parodies of Jimmy Stewart's character in Rear Window: one for The Simpsons and one for Tiny Toon Adventures. These episodes aired less than two years apart from one another!

I've done it! I've finally done it! I've created a meme scientifically designed to ensure that no single generation will get the entire joke!
On the left is Six LeMeure from the T.V. show Blossom, in a gray hat with a red blower on it, and a white blouse with a black vest over it. On the right is Seven of Nine from the T.V. show Star Trek: Voyager in a burgundy bodysuit with a Borg implant over her left eye.

Superintendant Chalmers from The Simpsons looking forlorn and declaring, "My '+' has been stolen! Oh, that's how people know it's a streaming service. What's the point of having a steaming service if you can't show it off?"

I watched these both a couple years ago. They don't always hold up (Droids especially), but it blows my mind that Paul Dini, of Batman: The Animated Series fame, ran the Ewoks cartoon. If you squint, you can see his little signatures as a writer in that show.
Wicket from the Ewoks cartoon superimposed into the music video for Radiohead's "Creep" signing, "But I'm a creep. I'm a lurdo."

NBC's graphic for Derrick Henry scoring a touchdown has a little raven flapping its wings and carrying a football helmet in its talons. This is the kind of silly nonsense the #NFL needs more of, I say!
Derrick Henry is in a purple Baltimore Ravens' jersey, staring blankly at the camera, while a literal raven carries a football helmet next to him, with superimposed text that reads: "Derrick Henry: Touchdown"

Surely I'm not the first person to think of this, but the idea tickled my funny bone and had to be done.

Me: Time to take my mind off the world's troubles with some old cartoons.

Tiny Toons: Here's a 1991 episode about Climate Change where Babs and Buster square off against an evil polluting billionaire named "Ronald Grump" who heartlessly blights the land while declaring "Your morality is a bore."

Ultimately, I explained it as "Imagine that Taylor Swift announced she had left Travis Kelce and was engaged to Matty Healy instead," and she got it instantly.
The first panel features the Frogurt guy from The Simpsons, designated as "Me," saying "The Cowboys traded Micah Parsons to the Packers." The second panel features Homer, designated as "My Wife," with a blank expression. The third panel again features the Frogurt guy, still designated as "Me," saying "That's bad."

Well, I saw the new Superman movie.
The top panel in a screen grab from Superman (2025) where The Engineer (a lithe woman in a dark catsuit with braids and nano-tentacles) asks Lex Luthor (a bald man in a black trenchcoat) "What if the Kryptonian shows up?" and he responds, "Don't worry, I'm creating a distraction?" In the second panel, Superman remarks, "That's a very nice jig, Kearney" to one of the bullies from The Simpsons.

Nothing sums up the Kingdom Hearts series better or more succinctly than this picture,
The first panel features Terra, and anime emo boy, with dark spiky hair and an overdone outfit, stating, "All this time, I've been staring into the darkness..." The second panel reveals him talking to Minnie Mouse in a pink princess dress, flanked by Chip and Dale the cartoon chipmunks, while they stand in a fanciful, Disney-cartoon inspired land.
