Cool!

The simpsons anime references were extremely cringe
True

That Jojo reference in Buzz Lightyear of Starcommand
There was one?
Oh shit I forgot about that. It is sort of interesting how many JoJo inspired scenes there were in western works before the 2010's anime brought the series into the mainstream.
Zurg throws some bombs at Buzz when time is frozen just like Dio in JoJo part 3.
Back in 2007/08 They had a character in Heroes who could control time use the MudaMudaMuda thing a few times

Jojo, other specifically part 3 because of the OVA and game, did have some cult popularity back then.
Ballmastrz did a good job of parodying 70's/80's future anime without being annoying about it. Other than that and a couple of other things like Ro-Boy in Venture Bros or Megas XLR I would say no. Anime references in cartoons are either typically out of touch like Speed Racer dub parodies or the awkward nods in Family Guy or The Simpsons or souless references like that Akira bike slide or barely legally distinct stickers popping up in the background.
KND pretty much nailed the anime references every time they did it. You could tell Mr. W. did it because he genuinely loved the medium.
back on the early-mid 2000s when most anime references where just speed racer lip syncing jokes or jabs at Pokémon or DBZ, this was really refreshing to see.
then again, CN was always more open to referencing and praising eastern media than most western channels
That shit will never not be wild.
Looking back, should it really be surprising that animators are also fans of animation? Those frickers were probably watching anime through mail-order VHS tapes long before anyone here was born
Buzz Lightyear of Star Command had Zurg possessing time stop abilities. They made a quick DIO reference with I think either mini-rockets or frozen fish, my memories fuzzy on what they were
