References Towards Other Animated Programs In Animation

I always liked this thread. I hope nobody minds me bringing this back, but it’s been several months and I’m curious if there have been any additional references towards other animated programs in animation. For example, an episode of “Yin Yang Yo!” that aired a while back was more-or-less a parody of “Teen Titans”, but in that episode, Yin was dressed up as Sailor Moon. I thought that the reference was amusing, if not somewhat out of place, and I thought it was worth mentioning in this thread.

Do you know of any references towards other animated programs in animation that have not yet been mentioned in this thread?
 
Let's not forget old-school! Here are some inter-studio gag references from the 30's and 40's, referenced from the FAQ page at Jerry Beck's Cartoon Reserarch.
  • The Wild Man of Wildsville (Beany & Cecil, 1962)--Cecil does an impression of Bugs Bunny.
  • Porky's Garden (WB, 1937)--Spinach-eating chick morphs into Popeye.
  • Mysto Fox (Columbia, 1946)--Crow imitates Bugs Bunny, magician Fox morphs crow into Bugs.
  • Goofy Groceries (WB, 1941)--Superman reference predating the Fleischer catoons.
  • Scrap Happy Daffy (WB, 1943)--Daffy asks for a can of spinach (like Popeye) after being defeated by a nazi goat.
  • Gumshoe Magoo (UPA, 1958)--A character with slow wits watches a show--with a resemblance to The Mickey Mouse Club--called "Rabbit."
  • Porky's Poor Fish (WB, 1940)--The "Muscles" fish has muscles like Popeye, and punches the cat out of the fish store.
  • Porky's Hero Agency (WB, 1937)--Porky gives the Venus De Milo arms like Popeye's.
For a more modern reference: In the Dexter's Laboratory episode "Simion," the title character (voiced by Maurice LaMarche with the same voice he would use later as Father of Codename: Kids Next Door fame) at one point says "I Wanna walk like you, talk like you!" This is a reference to the song "I Wanna Be Like You," sung by King Louie (Louis Prima to be more precise) in Disney's The Jungle Book.

Hope this helps!
 
The entire episodes of JLU's "Ultimatum" and "Panic in the Sky" were based on re-creations of the Wonder Twins, Apache Chief, ect. from the old Superfriends show.

There were also many reference sightings of the old "Hall of Justice" from the old Superfriends show in "JLU", "The Batman" and "LOSH" I believe.
