In Season 4 of <i>Glee</i>, Rachel and Brody perform a duet of "Give Your Heart a Break" by Demi Lovato. And then, in the next season, Lovato has a recurring role as Santana's girlfriend, Dani.
16 TV Show Details And Easter Eggs That Really Defy All Logic When You Think About It
So, I watch a LOT of TV. One of my favorite tropes is when characters break the fourth wall, aka when that imaginary wall between the audience and the story magically disappears for just a second.
Netflix / Everett CollectionBonus Easter egg: There’s also a cutout of Freddy Krueger at the video store where Steve and Robin work!
But the biggest detail you might have missed here? Victor is shown furiously scratching his fingernails on the desk in his cell. This is a nod to Freddy Krueger’s infamous razor blade fingers.
NetflixExecutive producer Shawn Levy explained in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter: “Victor was always in the script, and somewhere early on in conversations…we all decided this would be the perfect cameo for [Englund], not only because he’s a great actor and perfect for the part, but because so much of Season 4 is inspired by Freddy Krueger and by the ideas at play in the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. So, it just felt right.”
2. On Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, Tabby calls Ash a “teen Cole Sprouse.” Sprouse plays Jughead Jones on Riverdale. In the same episode, Tabby and Imogen also learn about the existence of the Sisters of Quiet Mercy in a nearby town called…you guessed it, Riverdale.
HBO Max / The CW / Everett CollectionOriginal Sin executive producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa — who also created Riverdale — revealed that the two shows exist in the same universe. “I assumed that we wouldn’t be allowed to reference Riverdale, since it’s in a completely different universe, but it stayed in,” he said in an interview with TVLine. “So, yeah, I guess it does exist in the same universe.”
The CW / Courtesy Everett Collection / Karolina Wojtasik / HBO MaxAlright, then Cole Sprouse and Jughead Jones both exist in the Riverdale and Pretty Little Liars shared universe. Don’t even try to figure out how Katy Keene and Lucy Hale fit into this whole thing.
3. In Season 2, Episode 8 of iCarly (2021), they mention Emily Ratajkowski. Ratajkowski also played Gibby’s girlfriend, Tasha, on the OG iCarly.
Paramount+ / Nickelodeon4. In Season 4 of Glee, Rachel and Brody perform a duet of “Give Your Heart a Break” by Demi Lovato…
20thCentFox/Courtesy Everett Collection5. On Friends, Ross makes a list of famous women he would like to date. One of the celebrities on this list happens to be Winona Ryder.
NBCThen, in Season 7, Episode 20, “The One with Rachel’s Big Kiss,” Ryder makes a cameo as Rachel’s sorority sister, Melissa (and, well, her big kiss).
NBC6. On 30 Rock, the characters make references to Friends — especially about Ross and Rachel’s relationship — all the time. However, both Jennifer Aniston (who played Rachel) and David Schwimmer (who played Ross) make guest appearances on 30 Rock. Aniston played Claire in the Season 3 episode “The One with the Cast of Night Court,” and Schwimmer played Jared in the Season 5 episode “Greenzo.”
NBC / Getty ImagesFun fact: “The One with the Cast of Night Court” earned Aniston an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series.
And of course, Alec Baldwin (who played Jack on 30 Rock) also pops up in Season 8 of Friends as Phoebe’s boyfriend, Parker.

NBC / Getty ImagesBest line: her telling Dr. Cox that he has a ridiculous name.
Additionally, Matthew Perry (who played Chandler on Friends) makes a guest appearance as Murray Marks in the Season 4 episode “My Unicorn.” Plus, Perry was ALSO a director on Scrubs.
Mitch Haddad / Touchstone via Getty ImagesSomeone call a doctor, because I have a headache from trying to wrap my brain around all of this.
8. On a related note, Scrubs character Ted Buckland (played by Sam Lloyd) makes an appearance on the show Cougar Town. This is a bit confusing since multiple Scrubs actors (including Courteney Cox) star in Cougar Town as completely different characters.
ABC / Getty ImagesNumerous other Scrubs actors, such as Zach Braff, make cameos as random characters on Cougar Town.
The real head-scratcher, though? The Cougar Town characters are shown watching Scrubs on TV.
ABC / NickelodeonSo, uh, I guess the Scrubs characters are real people and ALSO TV show characters in this universe???
9. On Supernatural, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) go on a tour of a movie studio. When the tour guide says their next stop is the Gilmore Girls set, Sam abruptly hops off the tram.
The CWPadalecki, of course, played Rory’s boyfriend, Dean, on Gilmore Girls.
Warner Bros. / Everett Collection / Everett ColThe fact that he was named DEAN on Gilmore Girls just makes this whole thing so much funnier.
10. In the WandaVision episode, “All-New Halloween Spooktacular!,” we see a movie theater playing The Incredibles. Samuel L. Jackson, who plays Nick Fury in the Marvel universe, also voices Frozone in The Incredibles.
Disney / Marvel / Everett CollectionPerhaps Nick Fury dabbles in voice acting on the side?
11. On Veronica Mars, Paris Hilton briefly plays Logan’s girlfriend, Caitlin, in Season 1. In Season 2, Episode 18 (“I Am God”), Veronica’s dad references the horror movie House of Wax — which Hilton starred in — and adds, “You know that Hilton girl gives you nightmares.”
UPN12. In the Season 3 premiere of How I Met Your Mother, Ted meets a woman named Amy (played by Mandy Moore). Two of Moore’s songs, “Ladies’ Choice” and “Nothing That You Are,” can be heard in the background during this episode.
CBS/Courtesy Everett CollectionDefinitely a cool intentional detail, but it makes my head hurt if I think about it for too long.
13. In the Bones episode “The Gamer in the Grease” (Season 5, Episode 9), Colin Fisher — played by Joel David Moore — gets free tickets to see the movie Avatar. Moore also plays Dr. Norm Spellman in Avatar.
Fox / 20th Century Fox / Everett Collection14. Here’s a more subtle Bones detail you might have missed: In “The Princess and the Pear” (Season 4, Episode 15), Fisher mentions that he’s a big fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Of course, David Boreanaz (who stars as Booth) also played Angel on Buffy.
NBC / The WB / Everett Collection15. In Season 8, Episode 3 of Doctor Who, “Robot of Sherwood,” the Doctor showcases pictures of various Robin Hood actors in history. One of these actors just so happens to be Patrick Troughton (the Second Doctor).
BBC / Getty Images16. And finally, the pilot of Degrassi: Next Class literally opens with a line about Drake (Aubrey Graham). Graham, of course, played Jimmy Brooks in Degrassi: The Next Generation.
Netflix / Karwai Tang / WireImage / Getty Images / CTVWHEW. I guess everything really is just one big multiverse, huh?
