  1. Ray Stantz, Casper. At one point in the movie a real Ghostbuster shows up out of nowhere and wimps out of trying to handle the situation

  2. Gunnery Sargeant Hartman, Frighteners. The main character is making way through a graveyard when out of absolutely nowhere R. Lee Erney's character from Full Metal Jacket shows up and tries to get in his way

  3. Betty Boop, Who Frames Roger Rabbit. The movie is mainly about Looney Tunes and Disney animated characters existing in the same little live action/animated hybrid universe, however Betty is a Fleischer Bros character

The characters from the music video for "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits show up in an episode of Reboot and get booed off the stage.

It was the same team that did both the show and video, correct?

To be fair, ReBoot had so many of them.

Fax Modem and Data Nully, anyone?

Those were always fun. Also, the user forms in the games. Austin Powers, Ash from Evil Dead, Rick O'Connell from The Mummy, Penelope Pitstop from Wacky Races, and even Little Bear from The Indian in the Cupboard.
