History ShoutOut / AtoptheFourthWall

* The beginning and ending segments of his ''The Invincible Four of Kung Fu & Ninja #1'' review are a ShoutOut to another (although in this case, purposefully so) [[NinjaTheMissionForce terrible ninja story.]]

** It gives quotes from [[TheLegendOfZelda Error]] and [[SystemShock SHODAN]] as well.

* The ''StarTrek'' #2 review is one from start to finish, particularly to the [[StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Original Series]] episode "Mirror, Mirror", with [[spoiler:Iron Liz being apparently swapped with her counterpart from a universe where, among other differences, MirrorUniverse Linkara has an [[BeardOfEvil Evil Goatee]], likes RobLiefeld, and finds Crazy Steve's "goddamn Batman" line "genius" (and Dr. Insano is a LargeHam ManInWhite Champion of Science). The MirrorUniverse [[SpecialEditionTitle opening credits]] even use the music from "[[StarTrekEnterprise In A Mirror, Darkly]]" (with a similar theme.]]

* At the end of ''PowerRangersInSpace'', when [[spoiler:Andros destroys Zordon's tube in order to unleash the Z-Wave]] the blast starts a montage set to Under Pressure by {{Queen}} & DavidBowie. Shortly after that he credits SFDebris for the idea and tells us to go check him out.

* In Part Two of his ''PowerRangersTimeForce'' review, Linkara gets his notes for the Time Force episode "The End of Time" mixed up with his notes for the Series/DoctorWho episode, "[[Recap/DoctorWhoNSS4E17E18TheEndOfTime The End of Time]]".

* The titlecard for the Top 15 Screw-Ups is modeled on {{Peachi}}'s ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' parody comic (specifically, Chie preparing to unleash the [[GroinAttack Trial of the Dragon]] on Yosuke).

* Recently, a BiggerBad EldritchAbomination known as "The Entity" has been introduced, heralded by a creepy poem that sounds extremely similar to the IronicNurseryRhyme from ''[[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho050Zagreus Zagreus]]''. There is ''no way'' this is a coincidence...

* In his recent Gameboy review, he makes a joke about the two kids being the first [[DigimonAdventure Digidestineds]] and the Gameboy is their [[DigimonAdventure Digivice]].
* During the Rise of Arsenal review he refers to Lian as a Zombie Goast and explicitly references ''HalfLifeFullLifeConsequences''.

** And another one: [[Series/DoctorWho Silence will fall,]] but not today.

** He is also aware of the existence of [[RedDwarf sesium-francolithic-mixi-alibidium-rixy-dixy-doxy-dexi-droxide.]]

* When a comic has an someone saying "YouFool", Linkara has taken to showing a scene from [[TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]]'s LetsPlay of SWAT4, right when a flash grenade thrown by his own teammate blows up in his face (followed by Spoony shouting, "GAAAAAAAAAAAH! YOU FOOL!")

* Apparently, ''Spider-Man, Storm, and Cage'' gives Linkara [[WebOriginal/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries BROOKLYN RAGE]]! (Yay, rhyming!)

* In his Pitt #1 review he does montages of great quotes from cop movies and [=TV=] shows including ''DirtyHarry'' and others, the first ending with "[[SuburbanCommando I was frozen today!]]," (a ShoutOut to WebOriginal/TheNostalgiaCritic) and the second ending with a blatant version of Horatio Caine's QuipToBlack one liners from ''CSIMiami'', complete with the trappings from ''CSI'': DramaticPause, [[GlassesPull sunglasses pull]], and the show's intro! [[MemeticMutation YEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!]]

* On at least two instances (''SilentHill: Dying Inside, NFL Superpro''), he compared characters that have a tendency to swear excessively to WebOriginal/TheAngryVideoGameNerd.

* In his video for ''AmazonsAttack'' #5 and #6 he underscores one of ([[InformedAbility allegedly]]) EvilGenius [[EvilSorcerer Circe's]] [[LargeHam hammy]] {{info dump}}s with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2_Mi6a0YNM a piece of music]] meant for a certain other [[Series/DoctorWho scheming]] [[TheMaster nutjob]]. One of the alternate-universe Insanos pulls out a Tennant-era sonic screwdriver and shoots another Insano with it in the ''Warrior'' 2 and 3 review. Linkara had Mechakara also quoted the Dalek emperor "this is not of my design," has used ''Series/DoctorWho'' music in other places, showing K9 on screen and talked about stealing the TARDIS in his homage to WebOriginal/{{Ask That Guy|With The Glasses}}.

* In part one of his review of ''{{Countdown|ToFinalCrisis}}'', he used the phrase [[WebOriginal/BadMovieBeatdown "because the plot says so!"]]

** And, in the ''Planet of the Symbiotes'' review, the Entity is revealed to be [[spoiler: TheMissingno from {{Pokemon}}]] (The above-mentioned poem even makes sense in retrospect!)
*** [[spoiler: Not only that, but the ProphecyTwist is similar to the "The Earth shall turn to Ash" twist from PokemonTheMovie2000]]

* In his ''Dr. Doom's Revenge'' review: "[[TheMightyThor Verily,]] [[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic this show about ponies is quite entertaining!]]"

* In his video for ''AmazonsAttack'' #5 and #6 he underscores one of ([[InformedAbility allegedly]]) EvilGenius [[EvilSorcerer Circe's]] [[LargeHam hammy]] {{info dump}}s with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2_Mi6a0YNM a piece of music]] meant for a certain other [[Series/DoctorWho scheming]] [[TheMaster nutjob]].

* In the "Alt Endings" of ''SilentHill: Dying Inside'', in a section which is itself a ShoutOut to Spoony's review of {{Phantasmagoria 2}}, Pollo tells Linkara "[[{{ptitlecx3rkta7}} Nine, This is nine. All your friends are dead. The disease will infect us all. Five, this is five...]]

** It gives quotes from [[TheLegendOfZelda Error]] and [[SystemShock SHODAN]] as well.

* In his [=~Let's Play~=] of ''Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force'', to Spoony ("You're in my way, sir!") and SFDebris ("the magic meeting room").

* When a comic has an someone saying "YouFool", Linkara has taken to showing a scene from [[TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]]'s [=~Let's Play~=] of SWAT4, right when a flash grenade thrown by his own teammate blows up in his face (followed by Spoony shouting, "GAAAAAAAAAAAH! YOU FOOL!")
