First that comes to mind is Itchy and Scratchy (The Simpsons)
post
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.
McBane from the Simpsons. Someone edited all the small clips together and they make a coherent 80s action movie parody.
the scary door from Futurama
“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.
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.
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
MILF Island
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.
The snack zone!
Idk if it's my favorite but I remember the Justice Friends from Dexter's Lab. https://dexterslab.fandom.com/wiki/Justice_Friends
Prescription Passion from House had more than they put on the show and was enjoyably ridiculous.
Parking Tickets in I'm A Virgo.
Honorable mention to Psycho Mom!
Who's the gal who needs no man?
Killed him dead with the frying pan
Did it 'cause he missed the can!
Psycho Mom
Psycho Mom
Psycho Mom!
