History ShoutOut / TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius

** The third scene is a [[Film/{{Chicago}} jazzy musical number]] with lyrics including "[[Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}} stop that ghost]]", "[[Film/IndependenceDay halt the alien invasion]]", "[[Film/TheTerminator before the cyborg morphs]]", "[[Film/TheMummy get rid of the mummy]]", "[[WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs save the seven dwarfs]]", "[[Film/{{Gladiator}} win the big fight at the Colosseum]]", "[[Film/{{Night Of The Living Dead}} put the dead guys back at the mausoleum]]", "[[Film/{{Jaws}} blow up the shark]]", and "[[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk find the ark]]".

* Jimmy in ''Hall Monster'' is like a condensed version of ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour'', and wears a helmet similar to ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd''.

** When Jimmy watches various well-known movies at hyper-speed, the quotes heard include "[[Film/{{Titanic 1997}} I'm king of the...]]", "[[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Precious!]]", "[[Franchise/StarWars May the Force be with...]]", "[[Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial Home!]]", "[[Film/ForrestGump Box of chocolates]]", "[[WesternAnimation/FindingNemo Nemo!]], "[[WesternAnimation/ToyStory1 To Infinity and...]]", "[[Film/HomeAlone We left Kevin!]]", "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz And your little dog, too!]]", and "[[WesternAnimation/JimmyNeutronBoyGenius Gotta blast!]]". The intro to that is also a parody of the Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer logo, with Goddard in the role of Leo the Lion.

* 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 "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." Later in the episode, Hugh and Judy watch the animated ''WesternAnimation/GulliversTravels''.
* In "League of Villains", the leitmotif of the titular organization bears an uncanny resemblance to John Williams's "Imperial March".

* "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]].

** At one point in the episode, kids can be seen dancing like the ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' characters. They recycle this dance sequence in "The Eggpire Strikes Back".

** When Jimmy watches various movies at hyper-speed, the quotes heard include "[[Film/{{Titanic 1997}} I'm king of the...]]", "[[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Precious!]]", "[[Franchise/StarWars May the Force be with...]]", "[[Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial Home!]]", "[[Film/ForrestGump Box of chocolates]]", "[[WesternAnimation/FindingNemo Nemo!]], "[[WesternAnimation/ToyStory1 To Infinity and...]]", "[[Film/HomeAlone We left Kevin!]]", "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz And your little dog, too!]]", and "[[WesternAnimation/JimmyNeutronBoyGenius Gotta blast!]]". The intro to that is also a parody of the Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer logo, with Goddard in the role of Leo the Lion.

* "Doom Bringer II", the game Jimmy and his friends want to get in "Grumpy Young Men", uses the menu font from ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' in its logo and features a Cyberdemon-esque monster on its boxart.
* Hugh's subplot in "Return of the Nanobots" is a wholesale reference to the famous Series/TheTwilightZone1959 episode "Time Enough at Last", where just like Henry Bemis, Hugh seemingly becomes the last man alive in the world, and deals with the despair of his situation by discovering an untold amount of his passion (pies instead of books). Hugh even directly quotes the episode after his pies are destroyed:

* Sheen's full name seems to be a ShoutOut to actors (and brothers) Creator/CharlieSheen and Emilio Estevez.

* "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Sheen" has a definite air of ''Film/KungPowEnterTheFist'' (Fitting sense Creator/SteveOedekerk worked on both).

** "The Junkman Cometh", parody of Creator/EugeneONeill's ''The Iceman Cometh''.

** "The Junkman Cometh", parody of Creator/JohnFrankenheimer's ''The Iceman Cometh''.

** The climax of the film has the kids [[Film/HarryPotter become magicians at Pigpimples school]], [[Film/JurassicPark visit a dinosaur amusement park]], and [[Film/TheWizardOfOz rescue the Ruby Slippers]].

The intro to that is also a parody of the Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer logo, with Goddard in the role of Leo the Lion.

* "Lights Camera Danger":

* In "Send in the Clones" we get to see five of the clones walk down a street, past a pickup, in slow-mo. ''[[Film/ReservoirDogs And the music in the background has some pretty heavy bass as well]]''.

* "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]] [[ComicBook/XMen Men]] (and two girls)!

** Quentin Smithee is a parody of Creator/QuentinTarantino, with his name a hybrid of Tarantino's and that of common pseudonym Alan Smithee.

The intro to that is also a parody of the Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer logo, with Goddard in the role of Leo the Lion.

* 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 ''VideoGame/KingsQuestVAbsenceMakesTheHeartGoYonder'', 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.

* 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." Later in the episode, Hugh and Judy watch the animated ''WesternAnimation/GulliversTravels''.

** In addition, when naming off monsters that Carl could turn into, Jimmy mentions Frankenstein. Sheen pipes in with a [[Film/YoungFrankenstein "FRAHNK-en-steen".]]

* In "Jimmy for President," Jimmy's campaign song - which is performed by two women - has similar lyrics and the same melody to the song "Charlie Kane" from ''Film/{{Citizen Kane}}''.
* The title card of "Battle of the Band" uses the font from Music/TheBeatles’ Drop-T logo.
* "[[Recap/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGeniusS2E8SheensBrain Sheen's Brain]]"

* [[Series/DoctorWho Jimmy's time traveling telephone booth,]] anyone?

* "The N-Men", particularly Retroville's reaction, is similar to the Franchise/XMen.

-->'''Sheen''': [[Series/{{Seinfeld}} It's a show about nothing!]]...Nothing but puppets!

** Carl as "the evil one whose name is too hard to pronounce" is a reference to [[Film/HarryPotter Lord Voldemort]]'s alias of "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named". And Jimmy as "Perry Bladder".

** When Jimmy watches various movies at hyper-speed, the quotes heard include "[[Film/{{Titanic 1997}} I'm king of the...]]", "[[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Precious!", "[[Franchise/StarWars May the Force be with...]]", "[[Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial Home!]]", "[[Film/ForrestGump Box of chocolates]]", "[[WesternAnimation/FindingNemo Nemo!]], "[[WesternAnimation/ToyStory To Infinity and...]]", "[[Film/HomeAlone We left Kevin!]]", "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz And your little dog, too!]]", and "[[WesternAnimation/JimmyNeutronBoyGenius Gotta blast!]]".

* In "League of Villains", the leitmotiff of the titular organization bears an uncanny resemblance to John Williams's "Imperial March".
* 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.

* 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."
