Ridiculous crossovers you'd like to see?

Well they already did a riff on Abbott and Costello, using none other than John Billingsley. He and Patrick McKenna play a pair of scientists that attempt to work some SG1 magic when the real team get in trouble in the episode "The Other Guys".

I don't think I have ever seen that one.

I can envision a scenario. The three of them stumble upon one of the gates, and Curly is drawn to it and steps through, and the two others reluctantly follow him in an effort to get him to come back out. They're all perplexed at their new environment, especially Moe who furrows his brow at him. "Why, I oughtta! Wiseguy, eh? How are we going to get back now?" He exclaims just as out the shadows appears another figure who intones in an authorative manner, "Stop! You will not harm the Wise One, and only he may speak, and you will all follow me." Curly gives them all a pleased look while both Moe and Larry give them dagger stares. :D

I like this. Due to relativistic effects time may have passed on that world before the others caught up to Curly

I really enjoyed "The Other Guys." But I hated it when Felger came back the following season in "Avenger 2.0.":barf2: It's the one episode that I skip whenever I rewatch Season 7.
 
A great unlikely crossover that (sort of) happened was in the Star Trek book Ishmael, in the 80s. It combines Star Trek with an old western TV show from the 60s called Here Come the Brides.

This is one of the few Star Trek novels I've read. Well written, and does an admirable job of making the cross-pollination work. And the cover painting is cute.
 
How did it play out?
It’s been a few decades since I read it, but as I recall, it involves Spock being trapped in the past with amnesia. He’s found by one of the characters, who was played in the show by Mark Lenard! When I read it, I wasn’t aware of the other show, so I just thought it was a time travel story with some quirky characters.
 
I wasn't aware of the other show myself. But I did know that there was a real world equivalent event, and assumed it was a fictionalization of that. Now I'll have to research Here Come The Brides.
 
If you want to check out "Ishmael," it's one of Simon & Schuster's Star Trek eBook Deals of September. It's available for 99¢ (plus relevant taxes) at many fine e-retailers (primarily in the U.S., but other posters have seen similar deals in Canada and Britain).

As for ridiculous crossovers, the "Strange New Worlds" cast and crew teased a crossover during their Star Trek Day panel. While there was no word on what it might be, they joked about doing a crossover with "Lower Decks" which would be pretty ridiculous.

Most likely as a result of the most capricious use of time travel since that time when Major Kira went back to find out if Gul Dukat had porked her mom.
 
What if The A-Team, Michael Knight, David Banner, Kwai Chang Caine, Richard Kimball and Jonathan Smith all showed up in the same town to help the same person against corrupt forces?

The first time we see the villains confront their oppressed townspeople, the villains will start bleeding spontaneously from the concentrated quest for justice.
 
The Boys is based on a comic book (full disclosure: I have not read it), so I think, as with the comic, it's supposed to take a swipe at both Marvel and DC.

I watched a few trailers, know of the comic so I thought maybe the comic itself is taking pot shots at both Marvel and DC then you see that guy in blue and he's clearly taking the piss out of Captain America but is a dickbag.

The Boys team The Seven = the Justice League
Homelander = Superman
Queen Maeve = Wonder Woman
Black Noir = Batman
Translucent = Martian Manhunter
The Deep = Aquaman
A-Train = Flash
Lamp Lighter (later Starlight) = Green Lantern

Oh ok Superman...... I thought he was trying to be like some cross of him and Captain America
 
Maybe that's just because, in the movies of late, Captain America has been doing a much better job than Superman of giving us that patriotic, goody-two-shoes hero type.
