Homer’s Odyssey.
Most modern adaptations present the stories Odysseus tells while visiting the Phaeacians as if they were the actual plot—but Homer’s audience would have known Odysseus as a notorious liar and trickster and wouldn’t necessarily have regarded his stories as true even within the context of the frame narrative. Homer’s epic focuses as much on the parallel stories of Telemachus and Penelope—I read the underlying story as their struggle to untangle Odysseus from his own web of deceptions and fantasies and bring him back to reality.
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.

Sick Sad World from Daria. I'd love that show
I'm a big fan of fake brands/products in anime. I don't know why, but they bring me joy.
"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.

"Ow, My Balls" is a claaaassic.
In "day of the tentacle" Bernard could walk up to the computer and play the game preceding day of the tentacle. That was nice.

Crash Nebula and The Crimson Chin from Fairly Oddparents are both great
Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff from Homestuck. Although it actually predates Homestuck and was retroactively converted into media-within-media, does that still count?
"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.
Invitation To Love the soap opera that a lot of residents of Twin Peaks, especially Nadine, seemingly adored.
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.
McGarnigle from the Simpsons
Binky the Clown and The Buddy Bears from Garfield and Friends
Reptar from Rugrats
"Address Unknown", a twilight zone/detective noir tv show within the universe of Max Payne.
Also "The Scary Door", a twilight zone type show within the universe of Futurama.
You're taking a vacation from normalcy. The setting, a weird motel where the bed is stained with mystery, and there's also some mystery floating in the pool. Your key card may not open the exercise room because someone smeared mystery on the lock, but it will open... The Scary Door.

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.
