** The uniforms worn by the students in Lloyd's boarding school are the Hogwarts uniforms from the LEGO ''Harry Potter'' line recolored with a skull emblem printed on it.
** In "The Royal Blacksmiths" Cole mentions Clutch Powers, the main protagonist of a previously released LEGO film. This seems to imply that a lot of LEGO franchises are set in the same universe.
** Instead of her regular outfit Nya has in the victory party scene at the end of "All of Nothing" the torso/leg design of the Willie Scott figure from LEGO's ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom'' line.
** In "Day of the Great Devourer," Zane predicts they have only an eight percent chance of getting away from the Devourer; Nya snaps, "[[Franchise/StarWars Never tell me the odds!]]"
** When Lord Garmadon assembles the Mega-Weapon at the Golden Peaks in "Darkness Shall Rise", the camera zooms to Sensei Wu, who says [[Franchise/StarWars "I fear there is a great disturbance in the force."]]
** In "The Last Hope", when the Ninja are trying out elemental one-liners (mostly puns), Zane tries "Ice to meet you!" on for size. One of the other ninja replies that [[Film/BatmanAndRobin he thinks he's heard that one before.]]
** The team gets a MidSeasonUpgrade called "ZX". Ninja-themed superhero called ZX? [[Film/KamenRiderZX Sounds familiar]]?
** Cole moonwalks and dances just like the [[Music/MichaelJackson King of Pop]] in "Island of Darkness". Saying "hee hee" with the baseline to "Billie Jean" playing in the background, no less!
** When Bansha briefly possesses Misako from a distance in "Grave Danger", she yells "[[Film/Ghostbusters1984 No Misako, only Bansha!]]"
** Speaking of which, the Ghosts in season 5 seem to really like the theme for [[Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}} that show]].
** In Season 11 when Fugi-Dove is describing his "battle" with Jay, Jay seems to perform a [[Franchise/StreetFighter familiar]] [[KamehameHadouken move]].
** While in the middle of a platforming level in Season 12, Jay is quick to perform the [[VideoGame/{{Fortnite}} Hype dance]] at one point.
** In "How to Build a Dragon", Iron Baron ends up covered in dragon manure and complains about [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture hating manure]].

** The second poster for "Season 15: Crystallized" is a pretty obvious homage to the penultimate installment to Phase 3 in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Film/AvengersEndgame, with nigh identical placements with the characters, as well as matchups towards their traits;
*** TheHero (Lloyd and Steve Rogers) is right in the middle at the bottom.
*** The BigGood (Wu and Tony Stark) is right at the top with their head taking up most of the space.
*** An incredibly powerful female (Skylor and Carol Danvers) on the right of TheHero.
*** A skilled female warrior (Samurai X Nya and Okoye) is directly on the right with the left side of her body facing the front of the poster.
*** A PluckyComicRelief with lightning powers (Jay and Thor) on the right of the BigGood.
*** A character with a major plot twist early on in the series (Zane and Rhodey) on the left side with their left arm out shooting something.
*** A swordsman who has at one point gone by the name Ronin (Ronin and Clint Barton) at the bottom left next to TheHero.
*** An animal (Crystal Chicken and Rocket Raccoon) at the bottom right.
*** The BigBad (The Crystal King and Thanos) are looming in the background at the top left.
