** During his discussion with Dr. Starline about [[Recap/SonicTheHedgehogIDWInfectionArc the discontinuation of the Metal Virus]] and [[Recap/SonicTheHedgehogIDWImposterSyndrome a refocusing on Surge & Kit]], Neo Metal Sonic mentions "identity issues" he had [[VideoGame/SonicHeroes in the past]] and explains that he had already prior knowledge of alternate realities by once visiting the Earth of another blue-coloured hero, likely referencing ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogMegaManWorldsCollide''. There's also a nod to the infamous lost level from ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2'', Hidden Palace.
** Sonic is shown being able to turn Super without using the Chaos Emeralds, which can bring in mind the fangame ''VideoGame/SonicRPG'', in which its iteration of the Blue Blur could do the same.
** Missy's reintroduction & memories she has in mind upon being resurrected are basically a fast recap of the events of "The Doctor Falls".
** In the first Intermission, Pighead is shown wearing an outfit made of various Doctors' pieces of clothing, bringing in mind the Spy Master doing exactly that after his takeover of the Doctor's body in "The Power of the Doctor".
** In the sequence happening in the world of ''VideoGame/{{SUPERHOT}}'' at the beginning of Chapter 4, Dave, Dirk, Terezi & Spades see the following order: "SERVE THEM RIGHT", which is one of the orders given in one of the levels of the original game.
** While the main quartet fights the Algae Men, Spades Slick' beatdown of Sydney Moist drags on so long that the Narrator has to tell him to stop, his dialogues being a nod to [[https://www.homestuck.com/story/4912 this panel]] of Post-Scratch Jack Noir being told by Hussie to stop slamming the face of his cell's guard against the door (long story). Later, Slick pulls Lord English's assault rifle out of his pockets, a weapon that he took for himself late in the comic.

Added DiffLines:

* ''DEATHFAME'', similarly to its preceding installment, has a bunch of those.
** In the "shitisdope" teaser, after the War Doctor frees the Last Son of Alcatraz from his brainwashing, Viet Congs and Americans alike are seen chanting "No more", which was the defining catchphrase of this Doctor.
** The "Wakey Wakey" trailer sees D.E.L.I.L.A.H. making a bunch of those: the creation of the Justice Society[[note]]which also counts as a ContinuityNod to the post-Vast Oink Earth-51[[/note]], the first album of Canadian post-rock band Music/GodspeedYouBlackEmperor being ''All Lights Fucked on the Hairy Amp Drooling'', the Earth-199999 Doctor Octopus' tentacles being made with Stark Enterprises technology[[note]]Which references an unused plot point coming from an early draft of the script of ''Film/IronMan1''.[[/note]], the events of ''Fanfic/SquidwardsSuicide'' and the Prime version of Squidward reminiscing and being troubled by his encounter with his counterpart from that fanfic (which happened in the first version of "Spongebob in Randomland"). There's even a double one: the robot mentions an adventure of the Twelfth Doctor during which he and the Monk, who reversed the Russian Revolution after having made Grigori Rasputin listen to Boney M's "Rasputin"[[note]]Which was a once-planned but ultimately scrapped adventure imagined during Twelve's era.[[/note]] and, after that, the Spy Master is shown looking at a video recording of the incident and taking notes, a reference and CallForward to his own stint as Rasputin in "The Power of the Doctor".
** Chapter 1 shows several of the characters on the Bea Arthur playing Monopoly and complaining about the game, possibly a nod to the beginning of ''Deadpool Corps'' #6. Later, when the Midnight Crew is caught and has to show themselves, Andrew Hussie pulls him in a BearHug and explains that Spades Slick is his only friend, something he once said to him in canon. Slick's history and relationship with Ms. Paint is also referenced and, finally, he's also called "Robo-Jack" at times, a nickname that was sometimes used to refer to him by the main characters.
** In Chapter 2, Pighead pulls out a wallet and shows D.E.L.I.L.A.H. the dead body of the Meat version of John Egbert, all-but-stating that the wallet belongs to the Meat iteration of Terezi and referencing her putting John's body inside it after his death on ''Literature/TheHomestuckEpilogues''.
** While meeting Monika & Sayori, when June asks her if they know how to fight, the former references how she was able to control the world of the game they were living in before by hacking into it, which is the big twist of [[VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub the game she comes from]].
** The introduction of [[VideoGame/HenryStickminSeries the Toppat Clan]] makes mentions of a civil war, years ago, that torn the Clan from the inside, clarly referencing the "Toppat Civil War" timeline in ''Completing the Mission''.
** The first sequence of Chapter 3 is an interview with Magolor, who talks about an amusement park he created, referencing the Special Edition of ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamCollection'', in which he does just that.

* In ''Some Random Snippets'', the Ninth Doctor crashing on Equestria and resurrecting into a new form because of said crash brings to mind the Eighth Doctor dying after crashing on Karn and the Sisterhood of Karn reviving Eight in order for him to regenerate as the War Doctor in "The Night of the Doctor".

** In Chapter 1, the Thirteenth Doctor reunites with Missy, who proceeds to mock her sense of fashion. The Doctor retorts that, at least, she wasn't a flashy-glow skeleton, referencing the botched resurrection of the Saxon Master in "The End of Time" and one moment in the same episode in which he shows to a bunch of homeless people his skeleton, who was glowing.



** In Chapter 11, Mr. Mxyzptlk briefly shows multiple of his appearances and, when asking Superman the danger of him getting too serious, mentions the Justice Lords version of Clark. He also mentions his trip to the world of ''Franchise/{{Injustice}}'', saying that he had to trick Regime Superman into thinking he killed Mxy, just so he could go away.

* In ''How I Stopped Worrying...'', the way Dreadpool plunges towards She-Hulk while screaming can bring in mind ''[[WesternAnimation/HulkVs Hulk Vs. Wolverine]]'', in which its iteration of Wade did exactly the same to Wolverine (except that the former doesn't have his hand cut).
* ''Miraculous: Aftermath'', due to happening after the finale of Season 5 of the series, makes multiple references to the battle against Shadowmoth.
* In ''Cleaning Duties'', when Nathan Drake is introduced, not only is he married to Elena Fisher but there's also mentions of their daughter Cassie, indicating that they're in a point after ''VideoGame/Uncharted4AThiefsEnd''.

* ''Multiverse TV'', due to its FramingDevice being the titular television, provides blink-and-you'll-miss-it mentions of important events from several continuities. Too much to mention them all, actually.
* In ''A New Ally'', the War Master uses the fake name of "Harold Saxon", bringing in mind his successor. Though, in following installments, this was retconned and changed to "Rudolf Limmer".
* In ''Daughters of the Morningstars'', while the dimensionally-displaced Rory Morningstar explains to the Staff and residents of the Hazbin Hotel what Hell looks like in her world and her parents' own attempts to redeem sinners, Charlie brings up [[spoiler:Sir Pentious' death and ascension to Heaven]], remarking that Rory's claims are proving this event wasn't just a one-time occurrence.

* In ''Rebirth of Friendship'', while looking at the outside of the Hazbin Hotel, [[spoiler:Future!]]Pighead remarks that the place already gained the makeover Alastor gave it in the pilot of the show. There's also multiple mentions of Charlie's interview with Katie Killjoy and Angel Dust having a part of responsability for its failure.
* ''The Nth Whatsit'' shows Pighead using her powers to trigger regenerations in everyone. The new incarnation of Barry Allen & past incarnation of Marianne Peters (two of her test subjects) are noted to look like Ryan Kwanten[[note]]One of the actors originally considered to play Barry Allen.[[/note]] and Chris D'Elia[[note]]Peters' original actor before being dropped and replaced by Tig Notaro.[[/note]].
* In ''The Exiled Doctor'', which is itself loosely based on the Big Finish audio "Exile", the alternate Third Doctor claims that she still has legs as her first line. This is also the first line the Eleventh Doctor said upon being born. She also complains that she's still not ginger, something both Ten & Eleven complained about in canon.
* In ''The Watcher's Choice'', Uatu remarks that the designated numbers of realities are always in flux and uses the examples of the MCU and [[spoiler:the Earth without any heroes that serves as the true homeworld of the Monks]], naming several of their numbers.

-----
* Literally when Constantine mentions that Thor has red hair in the myths, and Thor justifies that detail as [[NoodleIncident a prank of Loki's that got out of hand]].
* Upon hearing what SHIELD stands for, Cisco observes that someone must have really wanted the organization's initials to spell SHIELD (with Coulson admitting that's "pretty much" true).
* Constantine notes the various supposed origins of the Phantom Stranger as the comics have played with the man's history being unknown.
* When the heroes dismiss time travel as an option, Jane Foster notes that the wider consequences should also be considered, unwittingly invoking the reason for the Dominators' invasion of Earth in the original crossover.
* Hela hints at an interest in anyone who can cause that much death, which invokes Thanos' reasons for assembling the Gauntlet in the comics.
* When he takes over HYDRA, the Skull disposes of the former head with his Dust of Death.
* As in the comics, Jane Foster is able to wield the Hammer of Thor.
* Black Lightning breaking Red Skull's jaw is a nod to the Avengers storyline ''Red Zone'', with Lightning taking the place of Black Panther.
* In ''Gamma Relations'', Jane decides to take on the code name of ComicBook/{{Thunderstrike}}.
** It's hinted that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch might be mutants [[spoiler: and possibly related to Magneto. In the comics, they were initially mutants and Magneto's children, until a recent retcon suggest otherwise.]]
* In ''Powers and Marvels'', the Power Rangers are compared to [[Franchise/SuperSentai "rejects from a 1990s Japanese TV show"]].
* In ''In Hand and Foot'': Bullseye makes his debut much as he did in Kevin Smith's "Guardian Devil" arc, flipping a paper clip to break a wine glass and marking his place in ''A Catcher in the Rye''.
** Also, Michaelangelo's unintended observations about the similarities between the Turtles and Matt can be taken as a reference to how the circumstances of the Turtles' origins were inspired by Daredevil's.
** Later, Bullseye quotes [[Film/Daredevil2003 the 2003 film]] as he is about to kill Elektra, only to be interrupted by the rest of the Defenders before he can strike the fatal blow.
* In ''Sins, Sirens and Strife'', Darcy criticizes the Justice League for operating out of a manor but suggests that the Avengers hire a butler, referencing both Avengers Mansion and Edwin Jarvis from the comics.
* In ''Infinity Crisis: The Inhumans'', Ozel is revealed to be a speedster. This is a nod to her meeting Quicksilver in her sole comic appearance.
* The Earth-911111 "Toni" Stark uses the [[FunWithAcronyms Just One Capable Artificial System Technical Analyst]] or JOCASTA, referencing the female android from the comics.
** This Earth's Iron Man goes by the moniker Iron Maiden and her nickname is "Toni", like in the Manga/MarvelMangaverse[[note]]who's actually Tony's sister, and her full name is Antoinette as opposed to Antoni here[[/note]].
** Male!Black Widow is called Black Spider, which was a name an alternate Natasha goes by in ''Marvel Adventures: Fantastic Four'' #47.
** Thor was [[GenderBender transformed into a female]] in ''ComicBook/EarthX''.
** A Scarlet Warlock (male Scarlet Witch) has appeared in ''ComicBook/{{Exiles}}'' #85.
* In ''Tomorrow's Guardians'', Groot and Rocket are classified by a scientist as a [[Ride/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyMissionBreakout "floral colossus and pet rodent"]] respectively. The dialogue even nearly matches the original.
* In ''An Adventure of a Multiversal Crisis'', an adult [[Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory Charlie Bucket]] is now running Wonka's factory. It seems that, unlike his boss, Charlie isn't against hiring humans and all of his employees are fellow creations of Creator/RoaldDahl. [[Literature/JamesAndTheGiantPeach James Henry Trotter]] is Charlie's assistant, [[Literature/{{Matilda}} Matilda Honey]] is the head of Research and Development, [[Literature/GeorgesMarvellousMedicine George Kranky]] is mentioned, and they have a government contact named [[Literature/TheBFG Sophie]].
* In ''A Darker Shade of Red'', [[spoiler: the Doctor]] mentions [[ComicBook/Marvel1602 an Earth]] where superhumans started proliferating in the seventeenth century as a result of a [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica prominent one]] being sent back in time four centuries and forcing reality into compensating for his presence.
