In Raiders of the Lost Ark, hieroglyphics in the tomb show the ancient Egyptians had encountered Star Wars droids, so both Indiana Jones and ET exist in the Star Wars universe.
So whatever happens with the two droids we know they somehow end up travelling all the way to our galaxy and arrive on Earth during the time of the ancient Egyptians. And with the previous connection between Raiders of the Lost Ark and Captain America it would seem we have Star Wars, Indianna Jones, ET and the MCU all sharing a universe. Oh, and maybe a wookie arrived with the droids and taught the vine swinging roar to people in Africa who, many centuries later, taught it to Tarzan!

The Firefly / Alien connection goes deeper... The "Betty", the ship from Alien Resurrection, is docked near the Serenity in the pilot episode of Firefly.
The whole Punisher in Spiderman 2 thing was actually because of Kevin Fridge. That was indeed the original intent. Feige was a producer on all the early Marvel films. Even as far back as that he was attempting to create a shared Marvel universe. Hugh Jackman's Wolverine was even suppose to make a cameo in the previous film. Unfortunately he couldn't get the studios to play ball.
But those were based on the actual history, those RL baddies really were digging around in the deserts looking for the trinkets, holy grails, proof of Atlantis etc
Star Lord mentions the Ark of the Covenant in Guardians of the Galaxy. It could play as a reference to a movie, but it could also play as him referencing the events of Raiders as having occurred and being part of historical fact within the MCU.
Firefly and Battlestar Galactica are also connected. When Laura Roslin is in her doctor's off (around time stamp 14:44 of the first episode), through the ceiling window, you can see a firefly class ship landing in the background.

Val Verde is actually a real city in California. And the 'Commando'-'Die Hard' connection goes further because Franco Nero's dictator character makes a reference to the 'previous' dictator [which would be Dan Hedaya's character from 'Commando']
Does that make Indiana Jones a descendant of Han Solo? I would say that the video is off about E.T. knowing Yoda - the events of Star Wars happen "a long time ago", so presumably Yoda was dead long before E.T. was born. He might be familiar with the species, though, so as the first non-human species he's seen and recognized on this planet he may have assumed the "Yoda" could help him get home.
The BSG miniseries had a shot of a firefly class ship flying by on Caprica. But that's more fan service than actual connection, even if it's fun to see. Also, Val Verde strikes me as similar to Corto Maltese in DC comics - a generic place for bad things to happen without being real.
Worth noting that in Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Lord mentions that the Orb/Power Stone has an "ark of the covenant" vibe. Now, that plays as a reference to a movie he watched as a kid, but it could ALSO play as a reference to "actual historical events" dealing with the ark that happened in Raiders....so it almost reinforces that Raiders of the Lost Ark could have occurred within the MCU as actual history.
While I didn't know about any of these relationships, it's not that surprising. I've often said that there are only so many original ideas for humankind to imagine. This video proves my point very well. I will add that it's pretty cool to think that Star Wars and E.T are in the same universe. But only are they is that so, but E.Ts people must be even more superbly advanced than we ever thought to think that they were able to develop technology that allowed them to travel between galaxies. A feat that we have learned from the Star trifecta of Star Trek, Stargate, and Star Wars is indicative of exceedingly high levels of technological advancement.

Wrong about Captain America and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Both of those movies were simply based on actual facts: Hitler WAS completely obsessed with religious relics, and some of the places he sent people to search was indeed in the Middle East... in the desert.
In a (80’s) marvel comic - transformers - black costume spider-man shows up . Transformers and my little pony have had crossovers - that means MLP is part of the MCU !

Tommy Boy and 50 First Dates! 1) because Chris Farley and Sandler were best friends and 2) the name of the institute where Sandlers girlfriend goes to is named after Callahan, also the auto parts store that Chris Farleys father in Tommy Boy, owned. In fact the doctor that you see in 50 First dates is Dan Aykroyd, who was Callahans competitor in Tommy Boy.
