History ShoutOut / ElGoonishShive

* Q&A #5 references Creator/ConanOBrien [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?arcid=84 here]], and the impractically pale-skinned elf [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2011-07-07 here]] has a very familiar hairstyle.

* Pandora/Chaos also references Videogame/{{Mario}} in panel 4 of [[http://www.elgoonishshive.com/?date=2007-05-03 this strip]].

* [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2012-08-16 8/16/12]]: [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda Grumble Grumble]]

* [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-03-12 This strip]] has Elliot's parents refer to "[[VideoGames/WiiSports that video game bowling system]]".

* In [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2017-03-17 this comic]], several online avatars appear that resemble a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' character, [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Papyrus]], and ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog''.

* [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-09-08 This one]] is ''made'' of shout outs. Franchise/{{Batman}}, GreenLantern, ComicBook/IronMan, Spider-man, two separate Franchise/StarWars movies (Film/ThePhantomMenace and Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack), and [[{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]]. They're all ''in-universe'' shout outs on the part of one guy who works at a comics store.

* Is [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-09-17 that]] [[VGCats Ternaldo?]]

* Strangely enough, Chaos, of all characters, seems to reference {{Mario}} in panel 4 of [[http://www.elgoonishshive.com/?date=2007-05-03 this strip]].

* Elliot's outfit [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-03-03 here]] is a reference to [[http://thewotch.com/index.php?epDate=2007-03-05 this]] strip of ''Webcomic/TheWotch''.

* Elliot's outfit [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-03-03 here]] is a reference to [[http://thewotch.com/index.php?epDate=2007-03-05 this]] strip of ''TheWotch''.

* The title (not shown in the new website layout) of [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2008-07-21 this]] comic is an obvious shout out to the main character of fellow [[GenderBender gender-bending]] webcomic ''TheWotch''.

** And in the strip before that, [[spoiler:Susan's Awakening]] looks a little like she's turning into a reverse [[DragonBallZ Super Saiyan]], at least if you ask me.

* [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2002-02-25 Panel one]] is a subtle shout out to {{Clerks}}.

* Professor Raven. '''''[[PhoenixWright "OBJECTION!!!"]]'''''

* [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2004-02-20 The last panel of this one]] is a shout out to Dilbert. There's even a PointyHairedBoss.

* When Raven's in hospital, he's visited by "[[http://egscomics.com/?date=2009-12-12 a lowly intern with a remarkable resemblence to Zach Braff]]" and a habit of [[Series/{{Scrubs}} tilting his head while he goes into his imagination]]. [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2009-12-18 In the next strip]], Pandora suggests that disguising herself as a doctor who modelled himself on a different medical show would have been "[[Series/{{House}} a lovely opportunity to hit that intern with a cane]]".

* [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-03-12 This strip]] has Elliot's parents refer to "[[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Wii that video game bowling system]]".

* Sarah is apparently channeling the spirit of [[TinyToonAdventures Elmyra]] (or the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Bigfoot Elmyra's dialogue was inspired by) in [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2010-06-11 this]] strip.

-->'''Susan:''' Are...are you paraphrasing a ''Film/{{Ghostbusters}} quote'' about a ''building'' to describe a ''person?'' How does that even--

* The [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2004-05-24 magic nose beepage]] at the end of Painted Black is pretty similar to the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzO6Hz1dGsI divine nose beepage]] (at 7:35) from {{Dogma}}.

* Grace is [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2005-06-17 quite skilled]] at [[SuperSmashBros Super Smash Goons Melee]].

* It has been mentioned in-universe that the most obvious superhero name for Grace, SquirrelGirl, has already been taken by Marvel Comics.

*** And Tedd's little ImagineSpot about his keyboard bears remarkable resemblance to [[SpaceGhostCoastToCoast Zorak]]

* ''The Complete Works of FrankMiller'' were used [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-05-26 to help Susan learn hammer-summoning]].

--->Justin: (Thinking) [[LampshadeHanging ...Wait, did they just quote a]] {{Disney}} [[LampshadeHanging movie?]]

* Nanase makes a shoutout to {{Mallrats}} [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2003-03-05 here]].

* Apparently, [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2011-07-26 Raven]] thinks about BurnNotice

* Shive admits that [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-07-09 Susan's line here]] reminds him of the speech patterns of [[{{Firefly}} River Tam]]. Not to mention it's caused by a "serenity spell".

* The [[ShowWithinAShow Lucky Bunny Bounty Show]] seems to be a reference to several anime series and {{Firefly}}.

* Nanase [[http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/?date=2004-04-24 kicked it up a notch.]] [[{{Futurama}} Bam!]]

* "[[http://egscomics.com/?date=2002-03-29 Beats Getting Tackled]] by [[CalvinAndHobbes Some Stuffed Tiger]] Everyday at Least".
