History ShoutOut / Madworld

* ''VideoGame/GodHand'': The end of the Elise fight is much the same as an ActionCommand you can execute against Shannon, plus DestinationDefenestration. For bonus points, both have, at the very least, [[HornyDevils a similar theme!]] And there is also the FinalBoss fight against [[spoiler: the Black Baron ([[RunningGag stop starin']])]], which features a PummelDuel ActionCommand similar to one you can execute against [[MirrorBoss the Devil Hand.]]

** "Jack won the power struggle! Great, Jack, [[VideoGame/StarFox Don't]] [[StarWars get cocky]]!"

* The Maintenance Facility in Area 66, home to [[StarWars The Masters]] (Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon parodies that carry sabers that aren't heavy...), is full of shout outs to various sci-fi franchises.

* The song "Ain't that Funny" has the verse "Jack, Jack! He's a psycho-maniac!", a reference to the famous [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLUxhP6D2Ec Lego commercial]] ("Jack, Jack! He's a lego-maniac!").

** The commentos tell Jack to [[YouWannaGetSued "Use the For--MAGNETS!"]]

* To ''Film/TheMatrix'', ''VideoGame/GodHand'', and others.

** ''Film/TheMatrix'': Jack partakes in some BulletTime performing a B Finisher on a midair foe. Kreese also parodies the "red pill/blue pill" dialogue sometimes when Jack grabs a Happy Pill.
* Jack's general appearance seems intended to recall ComicBook/{{Hellboy}}; his right arm is [[RightHandOfDoom larger than his left]] and his goggles look like the big guy's horn stubs.

* There's no way Big Long Driller isn't a nod to [[VideoGame/BioShock the Big Daddies]]. Huge, masked drill bearers? Check. Hell, the Big Long Driller helmet even has multiple "eyes".
* Both Big Bull Crocker and Big Long Driller do [[Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre Leatherface's]] distinctive "rage dance". Plus, Big Bull Crocker has two chainsaws chained together, much like [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil4 Super Salvador]] and [[VideoGame/HouseOfTheDead The Empress]].
** They might also be based on Piggsy from ''{{Manhunt}}'', since they're giant power tool wielding lunatics with animal masks.

** [[YouWannaGetSued "Use the For--MAGNETS!"]]

* The commentators's names (Kreese and Howard) brings to the mind the name of one of the most infamous [[SnkBoss Snk Bosses]], Geese Howard of the ''VideoGame/FatalFury'' games.

** One of Howard's reactions to the tornadoes in general is "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz Auntie Em! Auntie Em! It's a twister!]]"

* The driving segments are basically remakes of ''The Road Warrior''.
* During the Little Eddie fight, Creator/JohnDiMaggio doesn't understand the irony behind the first boss's name, or irony in general, so Greg Proops explains it in a manner quite similar to [=DiMaggio's=] Bender's own definition in ''{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}}''.

* In the song "Ain't that Funny" there's a verse that goes "Jack, Jack! He's a psycho-maniac!", which seems to be a reference to the famous [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLUxhP6D2Ec Lego commercial]].

* Frank [[CaptainObvious is a nod to]] the FrankensteinsMonster.

* von Twirlenkiller's biggest tornadoes will [[{{Twister}} lift a cow into the air]].

* One boss is Jack's EvilTwin -- and his name is [[Series/{{Kojak}} Kojack]].

** "You are now entering [[TheTwilightZone The FUCKED-UP Zone]]!"

* The first minigame has you throw people into a jet engine. Or as the Black Baron puts it "[[Accelerate that ass Film/TopGun into the Danger Zone]] at thirty thousand Gs!"

* The first minigame has you throw people into a jet engine. Or as the Black Baron puts it "[[Film/TopGun toss 'em to the Danger Zone]]!"

* Jude the Dude is touted as [[BrokebackMountain "the Brokest Back in the West"]].

* You can activate a machine called the AfterBurner in the casino area.

* One boss is Jack's EvilTwin -- and his name is [[{{Kojak}} Kojack]].

* One of the A Finishers is a [[{{Kinnikuman}} Kinniku Buster]] that [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe splits the victim in half.]]

* There's no way Big Long Driller isn't a nod to [[Franchise/{{Bioshock}} the Big Daddies]]. Huge, masked drill bearers? Check. Hell, the Big Long Driller helmet even has multiple "eyes".

** The Mooks are a mix of [[Series/BattlestarGalacticaClassic cylons]] and storm-troopers.

* Both Big Bull Crocker and Big Long Driller do [[Franchise/TheTexasChainsawMassacre Leatherface's]] distinctive "rage dance". Plus, Big Bull Crocker has two chainsaws chained together, much like [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil4 Super Salvador]] and [[HouseOfTheDead The Empress]].
