ShoutOut.WesternAnimation/Recess

** Ashley Spinelli's last name is a reference to ''Literature/ManiacMagee'' novelist Jerry Spinelli.
** Ever notice that Upside-Down Girl looks and dresses an awful lot like a [[WesternAnimation/HeyArnold certain someone]]? She even has the same voice actress, who plays several characters on the show, but specifically uses her Helga voice for Upside-Down Girl.
** Also, King Bob may be a reference to another character from ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'': Big Bob Pataki, The Beeper King. They have similar appearances: unibrow, dark hair, perpetual scowl, and are both bossy and don't like being distracted from whatever has their attention.
** The "Terrifying Tales of Recess" segment with Mikey's living bike starts out as a parody of Stephen King's ''Literature/{{Christine}}'' and later when the other kids' bikes come to life it turns into a parody of ''Film/MaximumOverdrive''.
** The series is littered with shout-outs to ''Series/HogansHeroes''.
*** Matter of fact, this series is an {{Expy}} of ''Hogan's Heroes'': T.J. and the gang are expies of Hogan and his men; Principal Prickley is an expy of Kommandant Klink; Miss Finster is a more competent expy of Sergeant Schultz; in fact, the Third Street School playground looks almost like a compound of a prison camp. The two series' theme songs sound incredibly similar too.
*** One episode takes the cake with a senior citizen that TJ is visiting recalling the POW camp he was in during the war to be filled with [[{{Expy}} Expies]] of the cast of ''Hogan's Heroes''. The flashback ends with the Kommandant yelling, "ROOOOOGAN!"
** The Ashleys are parodies of [[Film/{{Heathers}} The Heathers]]. Ashley Q. in particular looks like Heather Duke. Ashley's T's outfit resembles that of one [[Film/{{Clueless}} Cher Horowitz]].
** Vince's nightmare about turning into a geek in "Big Brother Chad" is a parody of the opening of ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie'', with Max's nightmare about turning into WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}}.
** Principal Prickly's secretary is named Ms. [[Literature/HerculePoirot Lemon]].
** The prequel-movie ''All Growed Down'' is named after the ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' movie ''All Growed Up'' and, as one may expect from the name, has an inverted premise. All Growed Up was a sort of look-ahead to the future of the ''Rugrats'' characters' lives, while All Growed Down shows us the ''Recess'' gang when they were in kindergarten. The main difference is that ''Rugrats'' turned it into a full spinoff, while ''Recess'' did not. This is also funny when you remember that the creators of ''Recess'' worked on ''Rugrats'' before the show was supposed to end in 1994.
** Ashley A. owns a Franchise/HelloKitty lunchbox.
** They make several references to ''Series/DiffrentStrokes'', specifically the famous line "What you talkin' bout, Willis?"
** SAL 3000 is, [[StockShoutOut unsurprisingly]], a parody of HAL 9000 and ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''.
** Hank the AlmightyJanitor, who solves complicated math questions left on the chalkboard, is a shout-out to the film ''Film/GoodWillHunting''.
** Spinelli's AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents, Bob and Flo, might be named after Robert Reed and Florence Henderson, who played the parents on ''Series/TheBradyBunch''.
** Mikey mentions that he has a "Great-Uncle Mary" - just like the three main characters in ''Literature/OverSeaUnderStone'', which is "Great-Uncle Merry"
** In "The Story of Whomps", Miss Grotke is seen reading "[[Literature/HarryPotter Hillary Poffer]]" (complete with matching font), though it looks disguised as a romance novel.
** In "First Name Ashley", Spinelli is forced to watch pony movies with her eyelids held up, an obvious reference to ''Literature/AClockworkOrange''.
*** The Ashleys "welcome" Spinelli into their clique by chanting "[[Film/{{Freaks}} ONE OF US! ONE OF US!]]"
** At one point in "The Kid Came Back", TJ's ranting about how since they can't get rid of that one kid, they'll be "[[Film/{{Clerks}} slacking in their twenties, clerking in a video store!]]"
** In "The Rules," Spinelli claims that King Morty "drove the snakes out of the music room," a reference to the legend that St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland.
** Gretchen's personal computer Galileo is a reference to the short-lived Apple Newton PDA.
** Spinelli's middle name is Funicello, which is likely a reference to famous Disney Teen Idol, [[Series/TheMickeyMouseClub Mouseketeer]], and ''Film/BeachParty'' star Annette Funicello.
** In "The Girl Was Trouble," when Kurst reveals that she traded away Gretchen's Galileo computer, Gretchen shouts "KUUUUURST!" much like [[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan KHAAAAAN!"]]
** In "Pharoah Bob", Bob, drunk with power, punctuates his orders with [[Film/TheTenCommandments1956 "So shall it be written, so shall it be done!"]]

** In ''IX'' after Garnet does her ImportantHaircut, Zidane downplays it by saying that was a pointless thing

---->'''Zidane''': Aw man!
*** Amarant gets a particularly cutting one in that [[{{Unperson}} he doesn't even appear at all.]] Not as an Outcast like most of the forgotten parody characters, not even as a cardboard cutout like Penelo. The closest the series gets to acknowledging his existence is in the Outcasts RecapEpisode...as a SomethingWeForgot joke that still doesn't mention him by name.
** The "Terrifying Tales of Recess" segment with Mikey's living bike starts out as a parody of Stephen King's ''Literature/{{Christine}}'' ''VIII'' and later when the other kids' bikes come to life it turns into a parody of ''Film/MaximumOverdrive''.

HarsherInHindsight.DorklyOriginals

** ''Amiibo Story'' ends with a joke portraying then Nintendo president Creator/SatoruIwata as an inept and angry boss. A Nintendo employee reports on Amiibo's skyrocketing demand and he responds with [[ComicallyMissingThePoint ordering more copies of]] ''VideoGame/NintendoLand'' as well as [[BerserkButton slapping the employee and storming out of the room angrily]] when he mentioned a proposed ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' console game. The real-life Iwata passed away just four days after the video was uploaded.
** ''If Videogames Were 22% More Realistic'' ends on a [[SelfDeprecation self-deprecating]] gag about how Dorkly overused the "huh, neat" punchline and that it wasn't special anymore. This ended up being their second-last video (not including a compilation video of their 2019 content) before nearly the entire staff of Dorkly (as well as their sister channels ''Website/CollegeHumor'' and ''Drawfee'') were abruptly laid off without warning in January 2020 after they were sold off by their parent company.
** ''Mario Responds to PETA'' features Mario addressing and debunking the claim that he uses real fur suits, which is played for HypocriticalHumour because of all the animals (Monty Moles, Cheep-cheeps, Yoshi, etc) that he does casually slaughter while talking about how he'd never harm an animal as endangered and defenseless as a tanooki. Nine years later, the video ''Mario Meets a Real Tanooki'' ends with him causally murdering the tanooki he had been bonding with for its fur.
** ''Luke Won't Forgive Anakin'' portrays Luke and Leia refusing to accept Anakin's redemption. The new canon [[Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse Expanded Universe]] novel, ''[[Literature/StarWarsBloodline Bloodline]]'', shows that while Luke might have redeemed Anakin, Leia still sees him as Darth Vader and despises him for it. It's also clear in ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' that Vader's atrocities have a [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome left an impact on the galaxy even 30 years after his death]].

** ''If Nintendo Owned Sonic'' has Sonic dreaming about how if Nintendo owned him, he wouldn't suffer from his games having bloated casts. This ignores that Mario as a franchise '''DOES''' have a huge cast of its own, just a small core of recurring ones, and Sonic had been the focus of his games for the past six years, with his supporting cast barely getting any focus (or at least not as much they did when they were first introduced).
*** In addition, the first one mentioned, Nack the Weasel (who hadn’t appeared outside of print since 1996 prior to Sonic Mania) is in fact [[WickedWeasel an enemy of Sonic’s]], but was mentioned as being “one of our lame friends”.
*** The joke also creates some FridgeLogic because Tails mentions that the Nintendo-owned Sonic has a few beloved spin-off series such as [[VideoGame/MarioKart Sonic Kart]] and [[VideoGame/MarioParty Sonic Party]]. Even if we assume Amy and Knuckles exist in this dream (since Sonic is never shown mentioning them in his LongList), how either of these series would last long without having a lot of secondary characters to work with goes unexplained.
** ''[[https://youtu.be/Fx5-lZIxz-M 5 Things About Dragon Ball Z That Make No Sense]]'' makes the typical "Goku makes dumb decisions" argument by pointing out the time he teleported Cell to King Kai's planet right when he self-destructed, arguing that he should have teleported Cell somewhere that wouldn't put innocent lives in danger. It's pointed out in-series that Goku can only teleport to places where he can sense life, so he had no choice but to trade 4 lives (his own, King Kai's, Bubbles' & Gregory's) for billions.
*** Within the same video, Goku is criticized as a bad father for making Gohan fight in the Saiyan Saga. Except Goku did no such thing, Piccolo did, Goku was dead at the time and when he did arrive, he told Gohan to stay out of the fight. Gohan got involved in the fight with Vegeta of his own free will.
** ''[[https://youtu.be/bOVx2y21IrA If Paramount Made Detective Pikachu]]'' was an attempt to make another jab at Sega as it was originally titled ''If Sega Made Detective Pikachu'', and it poked fun of all the things that were wrong with ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020''. As noted, the sequence describes the film being made by Sega, even though the film is actually made by Paramount. In the same regard, the toon also says that the actual ''Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu'' and ''Film/SuperMarioBros1993'' were films made by Nintendo. The Mario movie was made by Lightmotive while Detective Pikachu was made by Warner Bros. Neither video game company had involvement in either film's development. Dorkly admitted this mistake in the comments.

** ''If Nintendo Owned Sonic'' has Sonic dreaming A bit of a minor one, but in the short ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzZqxkkUHLc The Pokémon Most Disappointed With Their Evolutions]]'' they show Abra/Kadabra/Alakazam disappointed and upset that not one but ''both'' of his evolutions include cutlery for some reason.

HarsherInHindsight.DorklyOriginals

** ''Amiibo Story'' ends with a joke portraying then Nintendo president Creator/SatoruIwata as an inept and angry boss. A Nintendo employee reports on Amiibo's skyrocketing demand and he responds with [[ComicallyMissingThePoint ordering more copies of]] ''VideoGame/NintendoLand'' as well as [[BerserkButton slapping the employee and storming out of the room angrily]] when he mentioned a proposed ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' console game. The real-life Iwata passed away just four days after the video was uploaded.
** ''If Videogames Were 22% More Realistic'' ends on a [[SelfDeprecation self-deprecating]] gag about how Dorkly overused the "huh, neat" punchline and that it wasn't special anymore. This ended up being their second-last video (not including a compilation video of their 2019 content) before nearly the entire staff of Dorkly (as well as their sister channels ''Website/CollegeHumor'' and ''Drawfee'') were abruptly laid off without warning in January 2020 after they were sold off by their parent company.
** ''Mario Responds to PETA'' features Mario addressing and debunking the claim that he uses real fur suits, which is played for HypocriticalHumour because of all the animals (Monty Moles, Cheep-cheeps, Yoshi, etc) that he does casually slaughter while talking about how he'd never harm an animal as endangered and defenseless as a tanooki. Nine years later, the video ''Mario Meets a Real Tanooki'' ends with him causally murdering the tanooki he had been bonding with for its fur.
** ''Luke Won't Forgive Anakin'' portrays Luke and Leia refusing to accept Anakin's redemption. The new canon [[Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse Expanded Universe]] novel, ''[[Literature/StarWarsBloodline Bloodline]]'', shows that while Luke might have redeemed Anakin, Leia still sees him as Darth Vader and despises him for it. It's also clear in ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' that Vader's atrocities have a [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome left an impact on the galaxy even 30 years after his death]].

** Creator/AdamWest appears in one episode voicing himself as an unhinged man disconnected from reality.

Creator/ButchHartman did, too; Adam West on ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' clearly isn't quite right in the head, and Creator/JeffBennett, the voice of Johnny Bravo, would eventually replace Adam West as the voice of Catman in the last two seasons of the latter show.
** In Season 4 among the celebrity guest appearances, Music/WeirdAlYankovic appears in an episode as himself called "Johnny Makeover," Creator/SethGreen appears as himself in the finale "Back on Shaq," and Donny Osmond returns in "That's Entertainment!" Both Seth Green and Donny Osmond would later make an appearance in "Weird Al's" White & Nerdy music video with Seth Green acting as an action figure collector, and Donny Osmond is the guy who dances behind "Weird Al" in front of a green screen with the Schrödinger equation.
** In one episode, Johnny's girlfriend while watching a movie on a date comments that she is a fan of "Swedish Karate movies". As ridiculous as that sounded, years later a movie featuring several martial arts fights, Film/KungFury, was made by Swedish director David Sandberg was made and released in 2015.
** In "Wilderness Protection Program", the elk boss' puzzle is a koala bear, which resembles another character on [[WesternAnimation/NiHaoKaiLan another kids' show]] animated by Creator/{{Saerom}}.

In this show, Johnny is a pretty handsome-looking guy who wants to date girls, but he is almost rejected by them, outside of a little girl, Little Suzy, which is, for obvious reasons, off-limits for Johnny.

** Johnny landing on The Island of Beautiful Men after getting rejected from an island of angry Amazons.
** Also much of it from Carl to Johnny. Carl pounces Johnny constantly (as in "Johnny Goes to Camp"), is very clingy despite Johnny shoving him away, all-too into playing Johnny's pretend date ("Charm School Johnny") or wife ("Chain Gang Johnny"), is impervious to the wiles of chicks, often thinking they're evil ("Forest Chump"), and even said he loved Johnny while standing up for him against an angry mob in "Lodge Brother Johnny". Heck, the episode "Carl Be Not Proud" is practically nothing BUT Ho Yay. Great lines like "If I can't make direct eye contact with Johnny, I'll die!" help too.
** Occasionally Johnny will even do something Ho Yay-ish, like in "El Bravo Magnifico" he disguised himself as a woman and a Mexican man named "Caliente" hit on him, saying, "Surely a girl as pretty as you has kissed a man before..." Johnny's response? To break character completely and shout, "What? I was young! I-It was New Year's Eve, the cherry cola made me giddy!" He also will say things that probably aren't meant to sound weird, but do, like "Well, eatin' Carl ''did'' give me a hungry man's appetite." The episode "Endless Bummer" also includes lip contact between him and Carl (though this one was unintentional on Johnny's part). Not to mention the instances concerning background characters; so yeah, surprisingly a ''lot'' of Ho Yay for a show about a guy trying to score with women.
** There's a surprising amount of romantic tension between Johnny and WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOeo_zHTWB4 this Cartoon Network commercial bumper]], which led to many people [[CrossoverShip shipping them together]].

WhatCouldHaveBeen.JohnnyBravo

** Before Van Partible was fired by Cartoon Network and the direction of the show was handed over to Kirk Tingblad, he and Creator/SethMacFarlane drew up plans for a second season that were going to be inputted if the direction of the show were to be continued under Partible.
*** There were going to be new recurring characters added to the cast such as Holly O'Hair who was meant to be a FemmeFatale character who would be Johnny's next door neighbor and would use Johnny for her self-serving plans, and Jim Dandy who was to going to be a rework of the show's portrayal of Donny Osmond who would keep all of his characterization and be a character who would try to gain Johnny's friendship but would backfire due to Johnny's hatred for him.
*** The titular character from the episode "The Sensitive Male!" was also going to become a recurring character, as he was going to be named as "The Mayor" due to being elected as the mayor of Aron City.

** Much like parent show ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'', ''P&TB'' frequently took quite a few jabs at Disney, yet ended up as one of the last shows added to the Creator/ToonDisney lineup. It was last seen working the late shift on weekends during the first few months of the existence of successor Creator/DisneyXD.
** One episode, a Franchise/WinnieThePooh parody, has a donkey named [[UsefulNotes/AlGore Algore]] as its Eeyore stand-in. The Brain quickly realizes that the rambling Algore is quite literally full of hot air, causing the occasional warm breeze. Cue jokes about Al Gore being the ''real'' [[Film/AnInconvenientTruth cause of global warming]].
** In "Broadway Malady", The Brain's show, "Angst: The Musical", has a number called The Schadenfreude Polka. A musical with a number about Schadenfreude? [[Theatre/AvenueQ How ridiculous.]]
** In "The Real Life", Brain is informed that "no one listens to vinyl anymore". As of the late 2010's, vinyl has been making a comeback.
** In "A Meticulous Analysis of History" Pinky mentions "the former of governor of Arkansas" with a picture of Bill Clinton in his underwear, referencing a claim that Clinton wrote his underwear off as tax deductible, made hilarious by the Monica Lewinsky scandal a year later.
** The infamous "And Larry" now sounds quite a bit like [[Theatre/{{Hamilton}} "And Peggy."]]
** Pinky and Brain disguising themselves as a cow to go to China in "Around the World in 80 Narfs", which had Brain posing as the cow's head, is funnier in light of computer company Gateway's commercials featuring a talking cow voiced by Brain's voice actor Creator/MauriceLaMarche.
** In the comic story "Were-Mice of London", Pinky and Brain get attacked by a [[WesternAnimation/TheCurseOfTheWereRabbit wererabbit]].
** In "The Megalomaniacal Adventures of Brainie the Poo", a parody of ''WesternAnimation/WinnieThePooh'', the Tigger {{expy}} is "Jagger", parodying Music/MickJagger of Music/{{The Rolling Stones|Band}}, who talks about how old he is, with lines like "The wonderful thing about Jagger is that I'm still swinging my hips", "I can prowl the stage like a cat half my age", and "But the grooviest thing about Jagger is I'm really, really old!". At the time the episode aired in 1998, Mick Jagger was in his mid-50s, and the Stones at that point were thought to be over the hill. But flash-forward to 2021, and Jagger, now in his late-70s, is still performing more energetically than many music stars even younger than him.

** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TrrE66FYO0 The Fantastic Four's Greatest Villain - REVEALED!]]'' was pretty much just one long jab towards Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox for their rather poorly made Marvel movies (the ''Fantastic Four'' adaptations in particular). It also throws a barb at Sony Pictures' handling of the ''Spider-Man'' films. Susan's protests that the Fox Studio Executive not sell the Fantastic Four to Creator/WarnerBros could also qualify as a potshot.
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6wAc7VB1PY Mario Responds to PETA]]'' bashes PETA following the controversy they stirred regarding the Tanooki Suit in ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DLand''. Mario is shown telling PETA that the mere thought of harming animals disgusts him deeply, [[HypocriticalHumor all while killing his very animal-like enemies (and Yoshi) in the process]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVufwgmXHKs If Video Games Had Impossible Mode]] show the Impossible Mode for TMNT Turtles Through Time has Leonardo encountering Micheal Bay who turns him into his 2014 movie counterpart. He’s promptly horrified at it.
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7fGdB3JGEw Ash Gets a Digimon]]'' features... ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. Ash receives a Franchise/{{Digimon}} as a gift from his mother and states that "this is worse then when [mom] got me Franchise/{{Beyblade}} instead of Anime/{{Bakugan|BattleBrawlers}}."
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1WgSrjpEAw If Sega Owned Mario]]'' and ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytXpHrq9xoI If Nintendo Owned Sonic]]'' both attack Sega's handling of the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' franchise. The latter also attack Nintendo for seemingly abandoning the ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'' franchise. [[note]]This was
during the first few months of time when Nintendo was keeping the existence development of successor Creator/DisneyXD.
** One episode,
''VideoGame/MetroidSamusReturns'' a Franchise/WinnieThePooh parody, has secret.[[/note]] ''If Sega Owned Mario'' also contains a donkey named [[UsefulNotes/AlGore Algore]] as its Eeyore stand-in. The Brain quickly realizes jab at Ubisoft, since after the video turns out to be AllJustADream, Mario is told by Luigi that Ubisoft owns them, and most of Luigi's head isn't animated, mocking the rambling Algore is quite literally full of hot air, causing the occasional warm breeze. Cue jokes about Al Gore being the ''real'' [[Film/AnInconvenientTruth cause of global warming]].
** In "Broadway Malady", The Brain's show, "Angst: The Musical", has a number called The Schadenfreude Polka. A musical with a number about Schadenfreude? [[Theatre/AvenueQ How ridiculous.]]
** In "The Real Life", Brain is informed that "no one listens to vinyl anymore". As of the late 2010's, vinyl has been making a comeback.
** In "A Meticulous Analysis of History" Pinky mentions "the former of governor of Arkansas" with a picture of Bill Clinton in his underwear, referencing a claim that Clinton wrote his underwear off as tax deductible, made hilarious by the Monica Lewinsky scandal a year later.
** The
infamous "And Larry" now sounds quite a bit like [[Theatre/{{Hamilton}} "And Peggy."]]
glitch in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedUnity''.
** Pinky and Brain disguising themselves as ''If Pokémon Trainers Were Smart'' takes a cow shot at Creator/GameFreak's decision to go to China in "Around not include the World National Pokédex in 80 Narfs", which had Brain posing as the cow's head, is funnier in light of computer company Gateway's commercials featuring a talking cow voiced by Brain's voice actor Creator/MauriceLaMarche.
''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield''.
** In regards to their ''Franchise/StarWars'' videos, expect the comic story "Were-Mice of London", Pinky and Brain get attacked by a [[WesternAnimation/TheCurseOfTheWereRabbit wererabbit]].
** In "The Megalomaniacal Adventures of Brainie the Poo", a parody of ''WesternAnimation/WinnieThePooh'', the Tigger {{expy}} is "Jagger", parodying Music/MickJagger of Music/{{The Rolling Stones|Band}}, who talks about how old he is, with lines like "The wonderful thing about Jagger is that I'm still swinging my hips", "I can prowl the stage like a cat half my age", and "But the grooviest thing about Jagger is I'm really, really old!". At the time the episode aired in 1998, Mick Jagger was in his mid-50s, and the Stones at that point were thought

** Much like parent show ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'', ''P&TB'' frequently took quite a few jabs at Disney, yet ended up as one of the last shows added to the Creator/ToonDisney lineup. It was last seen working the late shift on weekends during the first few months of the existence of successor Creator/DisneyXD.

* The "Literal Pokédex Entries" does have a few entries that are rather depressing.
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W-yli8_UuA If Pokédex Entries Were Literal (Volume 38)]]'' only features a Sandshrew who has killed a boy's father. 11 years later, when the boy decides to leave to become a Pokémon trainer, his mom tells him about how his father went to become a Pokémon trainer, but he mysteriously disappeared for unknown reasons. 9 days after the boy left, he figured out what happened and found the same Sandshrew to exact revenge.
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5RD2FBMU1o If Pokédex Entries Were Literal (Volume 40)]]'' features Lapras near its end, singing a chiptune version of ''[[Music/Furious7Soundtrack "See You Again"]]''. Its' Pokédex entry tells us why it is.
-->'''[[EndangeredSpecies Lapras. People have driven Lapras almost to the point of extinction. In the evenings, it is said to sing plaintively as it seeks what few others of its kind still remain.]]'''
