Nostalgic Catering

''Remember the good days? I do.''

When a franchise makes a reference to its earlier self. This move made by creators is called Nostalgic Catering, a tactic they use when they want to please their audience by reminding them of the better times of the franchise. An example of this is if a character in a movie alludes to a classic line (that was memed) they made eleven years ago when the franchise was new and captured the attention of people everywhere. Nostalgic Catering is a kind of Fan Service commonly, but not exclusively, done by creators who know when their franchise Lost Its Magic.
