** The castrato singer in ''The Toilette'' is believed to be either Giovanni Carestini or Farinelli, both regulars in the operas of Hogarth's good friend Music/GeorgeFredericHandel, while the flautist is believed to be either Karl Friedrich Wiedemann (music teacher to the future King George III) or King Frederick II of Prussia. (However, as Hogarth never mastered flattery in portraiture, their physical appearances suggest that the music the duo are performing is as horrible as the Countess' taste in art!)
** Among the Countess' guests in ''The Toilette'', the woman in the white dress leaning appreciatively toward the two musicians is Mrs. Elizabeth Fox Lane, later Lady Bingley after the death of her husband. Said husband is also one of the guests at the Countess' levée; he is the man in the background with the riding crop who has dozed off (being far more interested in fox hunting than music).

** Manfredi was one of Creator/{{Caravaggio}}'s unofficial disciples, so it's no surprise that he references said artist's works in his paintings. For example, the arrangement of the characters in the ''Allegory of the Seasons'' echoes ''Art/TheMusicians'' (see [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/caravaggios_the_musicians.jpg here]]). Also, Summer breaking the fourth wall and the brightly illuminated harvests on a table are reminiscent of the ''Art/YoungSickBacchus''.

* Trojan Condoms: In ''Literature/TheAeneid'' the Greek army gets into a giant horse, which gets through the enemy's defenses. Men inside a horse, inside the enemy's walls. Pure FauxSymbolism. [[AnalogyBackfire And then, after penetrating the enemy fortress, the horse bursts open and all the soldiers inside start rampaging everywhere.]] They probably intended for it to be a reference to the Trojan ''Walls,'' which were so impenetrable that after ten years of keeping the Greeks out they had to resort to the horse trick, but that's not where peoples' minds end up going.

** In "I've Gotta Be Me," Bear dons a grayish sweater and tells us that "[[Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.]]" Some familiar music plays and he suggests that maybe he should get a pair of sneakers.
** At one point in the episode "Let's Get Interactive," Bear is looking for dirt, water and seeds to help solve a puzzle. He says "You know, these things would be a lot easier to find if we had a couple of guides to help us" and then Pip and Pop show up. When he says this, closed-captioning reads "[[WesternAnimation/BluesClues You know, these things would be a lot easier to find if we had a little blue dog to help us.]]"

** In The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, just as you leave the Heffalumps and Woozles part, if you look behind you, you can see three trophy heads - Max, Buff, and Melvin, from the attraction that once occupied that spot: Country Bear Jamboree. In Florida, at Walt Disney World, turning around at the right moment you will be able to see a picture of Mr Toad handing over a deed to Owl as an homage to Mr Toad's Wild Ride which used to occupy that space.
** Somewhere in the projector room in the queue for Indiana Jones Adventure, there is an Eeyore sign[[note]]At the very top, in the back of the room; best spotted if you turn around just before you leave the room and look back and up[[/note]] - that spot used to be the Eeyore section of the old parking lot.
** In Autopia, there's a bronzed Midget Autopia car, referencing the long-gone attraction.
** Swiss Family Treehouse, based off of the movie Swiss Family Robinson, once occupied the spot where Tarzan's Treehouse is now. A gramophone in Tarzan's Treehouse still plays the Swisskapolka
** The Mighty Microscope from ''Adventure Thru Inner Space'' is still there - you can see it across from a mechanical arm that almost hits the Starspeeder 3000 in ''Star Tours'' and the comet scene pays a subtle nod to the snowflakes from ''Adventure''.
*** The new ''Star Tours'' once again features the Mighty Microscope on left hand side of the screen in a lit corridor just before the Starspeeder 1000 leaves the [[ThatsNoMoon unfinished Death Star 1]] through a docking bay.
** An actual engine from the Mine Train thru Nature's Wonderland sits at the edge of the Rivers of America
*** Similarly, one of the first rooms of Big Thunder Mountain is a cavern with pools of multicolored water utilizing forced perspective. This is a reference to the Rainbow Caverns section of Nature's Wonderland which partly occupied the area of Big Thunder Mountain.
** Mike Fink Keel Boats transported guests along the Rivers of America until 1997. One boat, the Gullywhumper, is moored as a prop along the rivers.
** There are ''four'' shout-outs to the House of the Future in Innoventions alone.
** The audio-animatronic critters from the old America Sings attraction were mostly moved to Splash Mountain (a lot of them are on the riverboat at the end of the ride, which can also be seen from the train between New Orleans Square Station and Toontown/Fantasyland Station). Two of the ducks from America Sings were stripped of their outer coverings and turned into the small robots in the Star Tours queue.
* [[Ride/UniversalStudios Universal Orlando Resort]]'s new water park, Volcano Bay, includes a subtle Shout Out to the resort's previous water park, Wet 'n Wild[[note]]which was not originally a Universal park, but was acquired by the corporation in 1998[[/note]]. The new park features a pair of water slides named Maku and Puihi. Maku means "Wet" and "Puihi" means "Wild" in the Maori language.

* In ''Franchise/GIJoe'', the redheaded Shana O'Hara was born in the South (specifically, {{UsefulNotes/Atlanta}}, Georgia). She is, indeed, a fierce and attractive SouthernBelle. Her codename? [[Film/GoneWithTheWind Scarlett]].
* ''Toys/GoGosCrazyBones'':
** The character Jaws is made to look like the shark in the movie poster for the movie ''{{Film/Jaws}}''. The character's even named after the movie!
** Another ''Gogo's'' character, Cupix, quite clearly appears to have ''{{VideoGame/Tetris}}'' running on his screen.
* The ''Toys/StarMonsters'' series has characters in it that can go through evolution in the following fashion: A Star Monster evolves into a new Star Monster, and can then evolve into another new Star Monster from there, if possible. [[{{Franchise/Pokemon}} Sound familiar?]]
