IIRC, the British and American versions of The Office exist in the same universe due to David Brent (Ricky Gervais' character in the British version) crossing over to the American version in one episode.
And The Paper (the new sequel to be released), and wasn't there talk that The Office Australia is canon? Also, I think it would be cool if all were in one big universe, but UK/US/The Paper/David Brent Film are the only ones 100% canon (and several other things could be included with Easter Eggs, )
 
If the Sea of Thieves DLC is canon, then around Pirates of the Caribbean

well this changes things.

Eh, that's multiverse stuff. Sea of Thieves is a separate realm that crosses over with the Pirates of the Caribbean dimension.
Also, Sea of Thieves is so overrated. Trying to play through the Pirates of the Caribbean story with friends almost made me die of boredom.
 

well this changes things.

If this counts as canon, then we have dates up to 1726 (according to Reddit) in the Monkey Island Series though...
The Golden Age of Pirates was from the 1650s and the 1730s, and to my knowledge, it was said that Monkey Island is set around it. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is set in 1729 according to its wiki. Not sure how to fit the dates from the Monkey Island Wiki in that, especially with Captain Blondebeard and Edward Van Helgen (though the latter one could be explained I think)
 
I wonder if this is meant to be Yu Komori.

There are some significant differences in the design, but it might be a reference to him.

Some have speculated this to be the Newspaper Strip Spider-Man, since his earlier stories were black and white.

But the shading of the animation model matches Yu Komori more than the newspaper one.

It might also be a generic black-and-white Spider-Man, I guess.
 
Thinking it might be possible to do a Men in Black timeline that includes the animated series alongside all the films. Is it possible K was neuralyzed (in MIB), un-neuralyzed (in MIB: Retribution sequel comic), goes through the events of MIB: The Animated Series, gets neuralyzed again (before MIB2), then MIB2 happens?

1997 - Men in Black
1997 - Men in Black: Retribution #1
1997 - Men in Black: The Series 1x01-1x13
1998 - Men in Black: The Series 2x01-2x13
1999 - Men in Black: The Series 3x01-3x14
2000 - Men in Black: The Series 4x01-4x13
2002 - Men in Black II
2012 - Men in Black 3
2019 - Men in Black: International

I'm not actually planning on it, it just came up in conversation.

and the video games?
 
Thought this was best place to put this. The song "I Hate You" from Star Trek IV The Voyage Home was also in the movie Back To Beach released the same year. The movie itself is a sequel to the 60s Beach Party Movies staring Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello. Pee Wee Herman appears for a whole musical number. A running gag has Bob Denver fully dressed as Gilligan working as a bartender. At the end he is just about to hookup up with a beautiful young woman and the Skipper shows up to say they have leave on "only a 3 hour tour". Frustrated Gilligan knows they are never only 3 hours!

All part of the Star Trek universe! forgot which thread was discussing the Earth Day Special. Late 80s and early 90s was full of fun crossover cameos. The Gilligan 's Island cast popped up in lots of sitcoms.

That'd be on the Ghostbusters timeline. Elon Spengler and the Waste Busters were referenced in the IDW comics, technically making The Earth Day Special canon (?).

Then we have Caddyshack and Scrooged characters in the 2016 Ghostbusters reality. If we assume that Ray Stantz mentioning that they saw a reality with a Peter lookalike that blew up a golf course was actually them previously visiting the 80-C reality without knowing it, then Bill Murray would actually be playing three different characters in the same universe.

As for crossovers, I think the moment you hit sitcoms the connections just explode. It's a big part of the Tommy Westphall hypothesis.

The day a Tommy Westphall thread is made is the day we've peaked at Timeline threads XD

I don't think it's possible due to the live action movies occurring in the animated series as films.

It's worth noting that this series is actually an Alternate Continuity of the movies, even getting to the point that the "MIB movie" is a movie inside the series continuity!

In "The Star System Syndrome", an agent proclaims "We've got Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, and Rip Torn."

"The Star System Syndrome" shows an in-universe Men in Black movie, with Agents Smith & Jones more closely resembling Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones than the cartoon's character designs. Earlier in the episode, a movie producer was talking about getting Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, and Rip Torn for a film.

L works for the MiB (and had been there for a longer time than J, apparently) and is a blonde. K seems to never have been neuralyzed, as he's still showing J the ropes. However, the events of the first film are still heavily alluded to in "The Big Bad Bug Syndrome", implying the movie's events occurred in Broad Strokes at the very least.

It being an in-universe movie doesn't prevent it from being the same universe. That doesn't really seem any different than when it happens in the View Ansewinverse, Doctor Who, Die Hard (due to the crossover with Chuck), and probably many many more.

I mean, they got Vincent D'Onofrio back for the series. I've been told that they reference K being neuralyzed in the past from someone who has seen the series and told me it can work.

The Men in Black wiki finds no issues with L being there. In fact, it makes sense that she works for MiB since she joined in the first film. I'm not sure what they could be talking about, but considering the actual wiki finds no issues with Agent L, I'm inclined to believe that her being there longer than Agent J is an inference they made rather than a fact. Even still, that's not impossible considering that she could have been retired before the first film anyway.

If you can make it work, more power to you. I personally think the characterizations and appearances of the characters doesn't match up with the designs/voices in the show so I don't count it. I think it being in an alternate timeline makes more sense.
 
While all of this happens, the Worms follows Jay and Kay to Hollywood in hopes in becoming famous. They went through gigs and pitch meetings for commercials but fail in the end. They were out of options until they decide to send an idea based on the MIB. Back at headquarters, Zed, Jay and Kay watch a trailer based on their adventures, only to discover the worms play a different role: sidekicks to K and J, and to their dismay, learn that their lines were dubbed over and mention chocolate sauce instead of coffee. Upon seeing this, Zed gets fed up with the worms and orders his agents to chase them down. While doing so, Kay plans on neuralyzing Hollywood's denizens for the preceding events.
The "Men in Black" movie features Worms as a satire of Teenage Mutants Ninja Turtles.
That's very clearly NOT the same as our version of the first movie. The first movie is only ever referenced as happening in the exact same universe as the series, so this was just a meta joke. TV Tropes, once again, is WRONG.
 
Actors existing in the same universe as their characters, or even actors playing more than one character in the same universe, is not an uncommon occurrence. K and J can share the same universe as Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith without the universe exploding.
