* Episode 12's TrappedInTVLand plot has numerous film/TV parodies, but the only specific ones are ''Flag Day'', a parody of ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'', and a mention of ''Oklahoma Power Saw Slaughter'', which is based on ''Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre''.
** Tak and Tenn flatly revealing that Zim's team was carrying out their new plan within eyesight of the former's base is based on a similar exchange from an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' involving a plot by Doctor Light.
** When listing the things that he'd prefer the Children of the Bright and Shining Saucer worship instead of him, Zim mentions [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls a rock shaped like a face]].
** After returning to the real world with GIR apparently trapped in the interdimensional void forever, the portal opens one more time with GIR shooting out, claiming the other entities in the void didn't want him. This is similar to an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'', when Billy said the same thing after being kicked out by Yog-Sothoth.
