Just saw "The Play That Goes Wrong," and it is a two hour masterpiece of a play within a play.
I see videos of complete productions on youtube. Go watch one.

I just stated watching The Goes Wrong Show on Amazon. Not sure if I would appreciate more than 1 episode a night, but the first one had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe.

The “Busty Asian Beauties” running gag in supernatural. Was a magazine, website etc. Always gave me a chuckle.
"The Deb of Night" radio show from Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is consistently hilarious and a great way to relax between the more horrific parts of the game. Bonus points for one of the regular callers guessing the plot of the game by complete chance and one of the main villains calling in to threaten whoever might be listening.

In "day of the tentacle" Bernard could walk up to the computer and play the game preceding day of the tentacle. That was nice.

"Ow, My Balls" is a claaaassic.
I'm a big fan of fake brands/products in anime. I don't know why, but they bring me joy.
Sick Sad World from Daria. I'd love that show
Gotta love The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon from The Murderbot Diaries.
Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff from Homestuck. Although it actually predates Homestuck and was retroactively converted into media-within-media, does that still count?
Crash Nebula and The Crimson Chin from Fairly Oddparents are both great
Invitation To Love the soap opera that a lot of residents of Twin Peaks, especially Nadine, seemingly adored.
"S." by Doug Dorst is in itself a fake novel, where the "real" story takes place as handwritten notes in the margins to form the complete story, the fake novel itself just a prop. But reading the novel-within-a-novel-that-is-the-novel "Ship of Thesus" by itself is an interesting short surreal read.
Seven on 7 is a series of TV news shorts and commercials from The Boys universe. It's a delightful little parody of Fox News. The whole series is available free on YouTube.
"Address Unknown", a twilight zone/detective noir tv show within the universe of Max Payne.

Watched Asteroid City recently for the first time. I thought the play within the movie (and the intertwining back and forth of storylines) was really interesting and entertaining.
Black Mirror. News tickers and headlines discuss other world-building stories from different episodes.
Los Dias Y Las Noches de Monsignor Martinez in King of the Hill.
Wheel! Of! Fish!
The poems of Thomas Zane in the old gods of asgard concert in the book about max Payne in the video game Allen wake in the video game control in the amazing TV series the threshold kids in that song the janitor is singing.
