Juxtaposition #23

From I Saw the TV Glow:

Medium close-up of a two-player shoot'em up arcade game featuring graphics that look like Mr. Melancholy, Marco and Polo, and the ghost birthmarks from The Pink Opaque, but which isn't labeled as being affiliated with a TV show by that name
Close-up of art from the side of the video game featuring Marco & Polo, who are identified by those names
Another close-up of art from the side of the game showing the title "Mr. Melancholy's Midnight Dash" below a slogan "the race for your life"

From The Simpsons S8E9 “El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer”:

Medium shot of a disheveled Homer emerging from a sand trap
Extreme long shot of Homer in the left corner of the frame looking up at a comically large pro shop shaped like a Mesoamerican pyramid
Medium close-up of Homer gesturing at a dog as he passes by the pro shop

HOMER: Golf course? Did I dream that whole thing? Maybe the desert was just this sand trap. Oh! And I bet that crazy pyramid was just the pro shop! And that talking coyote was really just a talking dog.
