Intertextuality refers to how a text draws meaning from other texts through techniques like allusion, quotation, translation, and pastiche. Examples of intertextuality in TV and film include a Family Guy episode that parodies Star Wars and relies on viewers' familiarity with Star Wars, as well as references to previous films in the Jurassic World franchise. In music, Eminem's "Without Me" video features a costume parodying Robin from Batman to present himself as a heroic figure.

A very good example of Intertextuality being used on TV is in
family guy when they made a family guy version of star wars
which the whole episode is based completely around
intertextuality where you may not get references or scenes in the
episode unless you had watched star wars. This episode is
classed as parody of the star wars films.
In the new film Jurassic World the latest film in the Jurassic
sequence, intertextuality is used within as they reference the
previous films, which is self advertisement to get people
aware of their previous films and for something for the
audience that have seen the previous films. In the film the
actors stumble across props e.g. the car and stages in the
previous films.

videos
Within Eminems song ‘Without me’ Eminem dresses
up in a costume that is the same as Robins costume
in the batman but it has an ‘E’ instead of an ‘R’ for
robin. This is Eminem saying that he is like a hero
like robing of batman. This is also a parody example
of intertextuality.
