First that comes to mind is Itchy and Scratchy (The Simpsons)

McBane from the Simpsons. Someone edited all the small clips together and they make a coherent 80s action movie parody.

I prefer “Terence & Philip” as my South Park Show within a show.

I’d argue “Sanctuary Moon” is a more enjoyable show than Murderbot.

And who can forget that show with the “I’d buy that for a dollar!” tagline? Evidently I can, because I can’t remember what it’s called.

On that last one, all I can think of is RoboCop.

All glory to the hypno toad!

“Ow My Balls!” from Idiocracy.

You were both made to laugh and at the same time be the point of the joke for laughing.

Climbing for Dollars from The Running Man.

I'd legit watch All My Circuits from Futurama.

And I'd probably shamewatch whatever Mojo put out in the marvel universe.

Hugin@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 314d

The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon.

Plum@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 314d

Ghostfacers was fun.

grue@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 314d

The Adventures of Captain Proton from Star Trek Voyager

I'll also list these, not because they're my favorites but just because they haven't been mentioned yet:

Los Dias y Los Noches de Monsigñor Martinez from King of the Hill.
McBain from The Simpsons
Various interdimensional cable shows from Rick and Morty

The Wall in Solar Opposites.

Does that count? It's not a TV show in the show, but it is pretty much a second show embedded within the main one.

It's great how they mix episodic and serialized shit together like that, too. You got the wacky alien one-offs, and then you have a large story unfolding within the tiny world of the shrunken people that live inside Yumulak's wall.

That's funny the first thing that came to mind, albeit not necessarily my all time favourite, was SilverCops

dotslashme@infosec.pub · 5 pts · 314d

Wormhole extreme from SG-1

Some time ago there was a website where you could stream a whole collection of shows-within-other-shows. Like, you could have Itchy and Scratchy listed, just like in a streaming platform. I think it was called NESTflix.

30 Rock

We No Longer Want To Hit That

MILF Island on 30 Rock, along with their many other fake shows, is right up there with Tropic Thunder's fake movies.
