Where are the numerous Buffy the Vampire Slayer connections? There have been references to Star Trek, Star Wars, Dungeons & Dragons, Homestar Runner, Aliens, and much, much more.

Would now be a good time to mention the Muppets - Indiana Jones crossover?

I'm rather surprised I haven't seen a Transformers/Dr. Who crossover yet. Because Dr. Who gets crossed with everything. You know, kind of like the obligatory Quantum Leap fic you find in every single fandom that has ever existed.

There's also a Doctor Who cameo (Rose and the Doctor in front of a Telephone booth (admittedly, it's red) in a Buffy comic. [www.comicvine.com]

@ShamelessSingingRennie: Well, that's probably the artist not getting the joke and supposing it was meant to be a British phone booth, OR they were trying to be subtle and were just showing Rose and 10 in London (where one does see the red phone booths all over the place).

But, yes indeed, I'd say that is Rose and 10

I call Shenanigans! "Andy Warhol's Dracula" by Kim Newman is not a valid source--pretty much all the other relied on the companies owning the characters/universes working together, or being owned by the same people (Alias/Lost/Cloverfield/Fringe). I could write a novel in which every single fictional character ever created met, simply by writing the phrase "and then every single fictional character ever created met," but it wouldn't count.

Putting that aside, Scooby Doo enters solely by having met Batman in the New Scooby Doo Movies. Batman met Hellboy, therefore SD and HB are connected. And they're all connected to the Addams Family, who appeared in the New Scooby Doo Movies.

@adg3825: Seriously? Shenanigans? Are you saying none of it is real?

Well, than how do you explain this!?
