* Zaaps are a reference to [[http://www.lilletourism.com/se_deplacer_dans_lille-1-0-5-fr.html ZAP Tickets]], half-price subway tickets. (Ankama's offices and studios are located less than a block from a subway station, and many of the employees take the subway to and from work.)
* Yugo has the ability to create VideoGame/{{portal}}s, and what is the most powerful item in the world? The [[CompanionCube Eliacube]], duh... Not to mention the fact that his clothes are orange and blue.
* Season 1 episode 1: The villager in the loo reading a "''[[Magazine/{{Playboy}} Plébowl]]''" magazine (also seen in episode 12).
* Season 1 episode 3: One of the items mentioned in the store is [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Captain Amakna's Shield]].
* Season 1 episode 4: The ''Literature/{{Rapunzel}}'' FairyTale, of course, with princess Ydalipe.
* Season 1 episode 6: See SistineSteal on S-U tropes page.
* Season 1 episode 11: Ruel's PastelChalkedFreezeFrame is inspired from ''Manga/SpaceAdventureCobra'', where this trope is frequent. The 3-episode Gobbowl arc is in fact similar to the 4-episode "Rug Ball" arc from this same anime.
* Season 1 episode 12: "[[ComicBook/{{Asterix}} Those Bontarians are crazy!]]" This episode also features an incident similar to one from ''Astérix in Britain'', where the ball from a sport match flies far away over the sea to hit someone on the head.
* Season 1 episode 13: There is [[Franchise/{{Alien}} an eighth passenger aboard]]...
* Season 1 episode 14: Willow uses a line from ''WesternAnimation/{{He-Man and the Masters of the Universe}}'' in the original French, only using a hammer instead of a sword.
* Season 1 episode 16:
** Enutrof speaking to Ruel through a ray of light is reminiscent of a very well-known series of French ads, themselves spoofing the ''Literature/DonCamillo'' movies.
** Sadlygrove is unable to pronounce "Grougaloragran" correctly; he even call him... "GurrenLagann"!
* Season 1 episode 18:
** The female captain uses a HurricaneOfEuphemisms similar to those of [[Franchise/{{Tintin}} Captain Haddock]], and says something quite close to his CatchPhrase: "''Tonnerre d'Ogrest''" (for "''Tonnerre de Brest''").
** While searching a name for their adventuring party...

* Season 1 episode 21: Adamaï in mentor mode starts speaking like [[Franchise/StarWars Yoda]]. Yugo promptly lampshades it.
* Season 1 episode 22: The Iop greeting dance has some moves very similar to ''Anime/DragonBallZ'''s FusionDance.
* Season 1 episode 25: "[[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann GIGA DRILL!]]", anyone?
* Season 2 Episode 3: In the end credits, the ghouls are dancing like the zombies in "Music/{{Thriller}}".

** The Justice Knight also does the [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Gendo]] [[ClaspYourHandsIfYouDeceive Pose]] at one point.
* Season 2 episode 10:
** The two snow squirrels at the start of the episode are an obvious homage to Scrat and Scratette from the ''WesternAnimation/IceAge'' movies.
** The hooded man's gesture in the bar is rather [[Franchise/StarWars reminiscent]] of [[Film/ANewHope Obi-Wan's]] JediMindTrick. The waitress even calls him "Obi".
** The prosecutor does some [[GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger poses]] very similar to characters in the ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'' series.
** Also, this one introduces a character named {{Evangelion}} [[spoiler:(actually a [[GenderBender gender-bending]] Eva)]].
* Season 2 episode 11: A few with the Brak'n'Black players:
** Leolbrake the Ecaflip looks like SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker.
** Albarus the Osamodas has a bowler hat and overall allure evocative of the droogs from ''Film/AClockworkOrange''.
** Aktator the Pandawa has fallen in a barrel of bamboo milk when little and gotten extraordinary strength out of the deal -- similarly to Obélix of ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}''.
* Season 2 episode 12:
** The KamehameHadoken taught by [[spoiler:Maude, a.k.a. the Masked Gobbowler]] to Kriss Krass is an obvious ''Manga/DragonBall'' parody.
** Another SistineSteal, lampshaded by Ruel.
** The lone chair before the prison cell of The Mmmmmmmmmporpg can't help but make one thinks about ''Literature/TheSilenceOfTheLambs''.
** The Mmmmmmmmmporpg himself is named after a real-life [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/meuporg-or-mmmporpg French meme.]]
** Ruel shouts out, "YouShallNotPass!", another reference to ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings''.
* Season 2 episode 13: A Pandawa named [[Franchise/{{Zorro}} Pandiego de la Vega]].
* Season 2 episode 14:
** [[Music/{{Metallica}} Pandallica]]
** [[Music/LadyGaga Lady Glagla]]
** [[PunnyName Shanon Stone]] gets [[Film/BasicInstinct interrogated and changes the position of her legs to which we only see the shocked reaction]] of Ruel, Sadlygrove and Yugo.
* Season 2 episode 15: The "Mini-Wakfu" SuddenVideogameMoment using different styles:
** ''Franchise/{{Super Mario|Bros}}''
** ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog''
** ''VideoGame/{{Breakout}}''
** ''VideoGame/SpaceInvaders''
** ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}''
** ''VideoGame/{{Pac-Man}}''
** ''Franchise/StreetFighter''
** Rubilax makes a reference to [[KamehameHadoken Kame]][[Manga/DragonBall hameha]], but he obscures it by replacing some of the letters with Ws (a running gag throughout the episode).
* Season 2 episode 16: The statue on top of the fountain of a toddler peeing is clearly inspired by the [[http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manneken_Pis Manneken-Pis]].
* Season 2 episode 19: "[[Film/AFistfulOfDollars For a Fistful of Kamas]]"
* Season 2 episode 20: A scene very reminiscent of ''Film/{{Titanic}}'''s "King of the world" one. Complete with a SuspiciouslySimilarSong to "My Heart Will Go On".
* Season 2 episode 21: And another, this time to the prologue of ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'', with a monkeyfied Ruel throwing a bone in the air in slow motion, along with [[Music/AlsoSprachZarathustra the appropriate music]].
* Season 2 episode 22: The rings look a lot like [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings The One Ring]].
