Stan Lee exists in the Marvel comic book too. There, he runs a company called Marvel that publishes fictional comic books based on the lives of real superheroes. (For example, at some point Steve Rogers, who in the comics is a talented artist, was drawing a Captain America comic for Marvel.) So presumably the MCU Stan Lee does the same, and is famous for that.

In Six Feet Under S03e13, "I'm Sorry, I'm Lost," Nate is grieving, drinking and blankly watching TV while the old dude who has been banging Nate's mum for six weeks and is marrying her tomorrow makes himself at home in Nate's living room.
"What are you doing?" asks the interloper.
"Watching Babe." mutters Nate, to this new character played by James Cromwell, the farmer and main human character in Babe.

In a recent episode of The Bold Type, Jacqueline Carlyle (played by Melora Hardin) is seen holding a mug with the logo of Dunder Mifflin, the company in The Office that employs, among other people, Jan Levinson-Gould (also played by Melora Hardin).

Really impressed with the amount of work put into that, getting an image, blurb and quote for every show etc.
Was just going to suggest Mr Banana Grabber from Arrested Development but the creator has already had to suspend submissions due to overload

I was confused by that, but apparently the site requires that we see "actual footage" of the fake movie/show ("not just mentioned in dialogue or seen in a poster"), which I think rules out all of the movies in Seinfeld.
The pilot of Jerry should be in there, though.

Red Dwarf is on the iplayer and I’ve been watching it for the first time. It’s great, but I found it odd that Series 9 is missing. That is until I looked it up and it’s partially set on itv’s biggest show:
Back to Earth Pt 2
Lister, Rimmer, Kryten and Cat appear on contemporary Earth and discover that they are fictional characters from a television show called Red Dwarf. They find a DVD box for "Back to Earth" and discover that they are to die at the end. They decide to track down their creators to plead for an extension, in a parody of Blade Runner. The DVD box also refers to a series X that does not actually exist yet. Katerina arrives via a second portal, but is quickly killed by Rimmer after she makes the mistake of telling him that taking the life of a hologram is not murder as they are already dead. A discussion between Lister and two children on a bus reveals that Kochanski may not be dead.
Back to Earth Pt 3
Lister, Rimmer, Kryten and Cat use the car they take from the President of the Red Dwarf fan club, made out to resemble Starbug. They go to the set of Coronation Street, where they question Craig Charles about how much time they have left. Charles tells them they are down to their last episode, as well as giving them the address of "the creator", before joking that he needs to go back to the Priory (a reference to the actor's real life drug problems).
They find the creator, in a scene heavily referencing Blade Runner. He tells them that their deaths cannot be undone, but they will at least die gloriously. In a struggle Lister manages to kill him, before finding that this was scripted by the creator. Lister then burns the creator's script and rewrites their own ending. They then discover that the typewriter is not determining their actions.
The small origami sculptures left by the Cat turn out to be squids, leading the crew to realise that they have been drawn into an alternative reality by another squid capable of inducing hallucinations with its venomous ink - however, in contrast to the previous specimen the crew encountered in "Back to Reality" that brought on despair, the hallucinations of this squid induce joy, almost euphoria, in an attempt to prevent its prey from fighting back.
Rimmer, Kryten and Cat have formed resistance through their previous meeting with the squid during the SSS Esperanto incident, but Lister chooses to stay in the false reality where he gets together with Kochanski, despite the knowledge that she isn't real. After a period of time with Kochanski, Lister decides to head back to his own reality, with a renewed sense of his own self-worth, determined to find the real Kochanski and win her back. The episode ends with the four laughing at the fact that the fans of Red Dwarf created by the Despair Squid's hallucination (i.e. the viewers) will think that their reality is the real one, and the Red Dwarf reality dependent on it, as opposed to the other way round.
