History ShoutOut / TotalDrama

* In the finale of Total Drama All-Stars The 5 Mikes pressing the [[BigRedButton reset]] button at once seems very similar to DoctorWho in the 50th anniversary where 3 incarnations of the Doctor [[spoiler: use the moment by pushing a big red button at once.]]

* Gwen's attempt at fixing Chris' self-portrait in "The Bold and the Booty-ful" is a reference to "Potato Jesus."

The first season of WesternAnimation/TotalDrama is a parody of Reality shows, while the second and third also parodies of films and musicals, respectively. So, it'd be impossible for them not to have their very own ShoutOut page.

* The expression Tyler makes after his DreamSequence in, ''"The Big Sleep"'' is a slightly obscure shout-out to the painting, "The Scream."
* During the third TDA aftermath, the boy in the webcam has a ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' poster
* ''ScoobyDoo'' in the London episode

** It makes even more sense when you realise that Sierra is a TakeThat against "Original" Characters made by Cody fangirls.
* "Grand Chef Auto" is one to ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'', particularly ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas San Andreas]]'', where the campers had to steal Chef's prized go karts and race to graffiti tag three [[spoiler:(later four)]] landmarks.
