* "Lady Sings the News" had a few references to New York-area newscasters-- Sheen, as sportscaster, says "Let's go to the videotape." before realizing they have no tape of the event he was talking about (so he then opts to "go to the action figures"). This was the catchphrase of NYC-area sportscasters [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Wolf Warner Wolf]]. Jimmy's greeting at the beginning of the newscast ("Here now with the news") evokes another veteran of NYC broadcasting, the infamous [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Grimsby Roger Grimsby]].

* In "Jimmy On Ice" when [[ItMakesSenseinContext Carl has to sweat to bring Retroville out of an ice age]], he speeds up his running and the background music is very similar to the song "Maniac" from the Flashdance soundtrack

* "The N Men", particularly Retroville's reaction, is similar to the Franchise/XMen. Not just that, but Cindy, Sheen, Libby and Carl's powers are similar to ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}, ComicBook/TheFlash, [[Franchise/FantasticFour The Invisible Woman]] and [[Franchise/XMen Banshee]], well if Banshee was [[{{Gasshole}} burping]] instead of screaming. Carl's costume is also a shout out to ComicBook/PlasticMan. Jimmy was well, orange...[[spoiler: right until he turned into ComicBook/TheHulk with a skin design similar to [[Franchise/FantasticFour The Thing]]]]. And, think of Sheen's name idea. The [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Fantastic]] [[ComicBook/JusticeLeague League of Justice Bringing]] [[ComicBook/TheAvengers Avenging]] Men (and two girls!)

* The episode where they go inside the [=UltraLord=] Videogame, has a interesting shout-out to "The Wizard and the Princess" [[note]] a largely forgotten Sierra Adventure game, which is the spiritual prequel to KingsQuestV, and is even considered by many as "Kings Quest Zero" [[/note]] As the game had a infuriating puzzle, in which you had to traverse a desert find a rock, but it has to be a certain screen, or else a snake underneath would kill you.

* [[Series/DoctorWho Jimmy's Blue Time Traveling Telephone Booth,]] anyone?

** Jimmy/Hulk's fight against the Army tanks plays out almost identical to [[{{Film/Hulk}} the 2003 ''Hulk'' movie]].
* Jimmy in ''Hall Monster'' is like a condensed version of ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour''
* Sheen's full name seems to be a ShoutOut to actors (and brothers) Creator/CharlieSheen and Emilio Estevez.
--->Sheen: (As he and his friends ride down a ''T. rex'''s tail) [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones Yabba Dabba Dooooo~!]]
* One ride seen at Retroville in the movie has the name "[[Music/MeatLoaf Bat Out of]] [[GoshDangItToHeck Heck]]".
* Mr. Neutron's full name is [[Series/LeaveItToBeaver Hubert Beaumont]] Neutron.
* "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Sheen" has a definite air of ''Film/KungPowEnterTheFist''.
* In the HalloweenEpisode, Jimmy builds a machine that turns people into monsters. One of the monsters pictured is Music/MichaelJackson (specifically, werewolf Jackson from the ''Thriller'' video).
** In addition, when naming off monsters that Carl could turn into, Jimmy mentions Frankenstein. Sheen pipes in with a [[Film/YoungFrankenstein "FRAHNK-en-steen".]]
** Cindy dressed up as [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Muffy the Vampire Annihilator]] for Halloween.
** When Carl and Sheen guess what Jimmy will dress up as, Carl suggests "[[Creator/StephenHawking that smart guy with the keyboard who talks with a computer voice]]".
* Leppy the ''Leptictidium'' shares a color scheme with the ''Leptictidium'' from ''Series/WalkingWithBeasts''. Incidentally, this program's first scene also showed it [[AnachronismStew erroneously living in the Cretaceous]].
* One of Hugh's friends is named VideoGame/MaxPayne.
* Upon gaining superpowers, the Wheezer family replicate the canyon-jumping sequence seen in ''{{Film/Hulk}}''. Apparently, [[CriticalDissonance some people did enjoy this movie after all]].
* The episode where they go inside the UltraLord Videogame, has a interesting shout-out to "The Wizard and the Princess" [[note]] a largely forgotten Sierra Adventure game, which is the spiritual prequel to KingsQuestV, and is even considered by many as "Kings Quest Zero" [[/note]] As the game had a infuriating puzzle, in which you had to traverse a desert find a rock, but it has to be a certain screen, or else a snake underneath would kill you.
* The TV Show "Intergalactic Showdown" in "Win Lose or Kaboom!" shares many similarities to game shows such as ''Series/FearFactor'', ''Survivor'', and ''Series/WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire". Also many of the alien TV shows Hugh watches are parodies, such as [[Series/BeverlyHills90210 Andromeda 90210]].
* In one episode, Jimmy had a robot duplicate of himself, which broke down causing its face to droop and sag like David in ''Film/AIArtificialIntelligence''.
* Dr. Moist's algaemen are named "Nipsey" and "Russell", after the famous comedian and frequent ''Series/{{Pyramid}}'' guest.
* In "The Incredible Shrinking Town," Jimmy recalls events of the week where his size was insulted. The montage is scored by a sound-alike of Randy Newman's "Short People."
* In "LEague of Villains", the leitmotiff of the titular organization bears an uncanny resemblance to John Williams's "Imperial March".
