Well this time its intertextuality! I'm writing this a bit late because i was unable to gind some relevant examples. But now that I do have them, lets get started!!
I interpret the meaning of intertextuality as using a reference from any famous piece of work into other media such as films, TV shows etc. in order to induce either humor or some very deep meaning!

Well my basic focus will be media for intertextuality.Intertextuality occurs frequently in popular media such as television shows, movies, novels and even interactive video games. In these cases, intertextuality is often used to provide depth to the fictional reality portrayed in the medium, such as characters in one television show mentioning characters from another. Some notable examples of intertexuality include the animated series Futurama, Family Guy, and The Simpsons, which are almost entirely dependent on intertextual references as a source of humor.
Well in this Simpson's trying to use reference from 'A Clockwork Orange'. The eye and the hat doing the basic trick!
I also feel that the costumes wore by soldiers in Star Wars somehow reminds me of the famous ancient Samurai.
So as rightfully said by Graham Allen ‘The fundamental concept of intertextuality is that no text, much as it might like to appear so, is original and unique-in-itself; rather it is a tissue of inevitable, and to an extent unwitting, references to and quotations from other texts.'
