** The two-part episode "The Terror Beyond" is an extended homage to the Creator/MarvelComics team ComicBook/TheDefenders. ComicBook/DoctorFate stands in for ComicBook/DoctorStrange, Solomon Grundy for [[Characters/IncredibleHulkBruceBanner the Hulk]], Hawkgirl for Nighthawk, and ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} for [[ComicBook/SubMariner Namor]]. Grundy even refers to Hawkgirl as "Bird Nose", Hulk's nickname for Nighthawk.

** At one point, [[ComicBook/SquadronSupreme Hyperion]] steals [[Characters/TheMightyThorThorOdinson Thor]]'s red cape and wears it as a trophy. This causes him to look ''even more'' like the Creator/DCComics [[ComicBook/{{Superman}} character]] he is a CaptainErsatz of.

** [[Characters/SpiderManPeterParker Peter Parker]]'s outfit looks a lot like that of [[WesternAnimation/Ben10 Ben Tennyson]]. Creator/ManOfActionStudios created the ''Franchise/Ben10'' franchise and did most of the second season episodes of ''Earth's Mightiest Heroes''.

** Another video game reference was seen in the episode "Buster and Babs Go Hawaiian". For some reason, [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney Montana Max]] is the pilot of an airplane. The terminal used for piloting the plane is an arcade cabinet with the game "Plane Man", where a plane is [[VideoGame/PacMan moving around a maze while eating dots]]. In reality, [[AnimateInanimateObject the actual plane]] [[WidgetSeries is eating clouds]].

* ShoutOut/TheVentureBrothers

** The episode "Reality Check" takes place InAWorld where the Turtles are super-powered heroes. The "Shell of Justice" is a shout-out to the Hall of Justice from ''WesternAnimation/SuperFriends'', and "Shelletron-1000" probably references the Autobots computer in ''Franchise/TransformersGeneration1'', Teletron-1. An early episode has similar shout-outs, where Mikey's fantasies of the Turtles as superheroes get mocked as "the [[Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica Ninja-stice League]]", "the [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Shelltastic Four]]", and "[[ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes the Legion of Sewer-Heroes]]".

** In the UsefulNotes/WorldWarII episode, Superman flies directly through a German plane and emerges from the inevitable explosion covered head to toe in flames - which makes him a dead ringer for the Franchise/MarvelUniverse's original, Nazi-fighting Human Torch. An unidentified Allied solider later in the episode is shown injured and clutching his eye in reference to Comicbook/NickFury.

** The JLU finale has Captain Steel channeling Comicbook/CaptainAmerica by flinging a Parademon's shield.

** The two-part episode "The Terror Beyond" is an extended homage to the Creator/MarvelComics team Comicbook/TheDefenders. Comicbook/DoctorFate stands in for Comicbook/DoctorStrange, Solomon Grundy for [[Characters/IncredibleHulkBruceBanner the Hulk]], Hawkgirl for Nighthawk, and ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} for [[ComicBook/SubMariner Namor]]. Grundy even refers to Hawkgirl as "Bird Nose", Hulk's nickname for Nighthawk.

** In "Task Force X", when Deadshot meets Plastique, he says he's 'seen the pictures' to which she flirtatiously responds 'and that's as close as you're gonna get' - possibly reffing her naked humiliation at the hands of Comicbook/{{Firestorm|DCComics}} in her first appearance.
** In the episode "Divided we Fall," Comicbook/GreenArrow dissuades Superman from disbanding the Justice League, and gets ready to ride off into the sunset. Just before he does, Batman stops him, saying "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" To which, GA translates as "Who guards the guardians?" Most comic fans know [[Comicbook/{{Watchmen}} what they're really talking about, though]].
** Another [[Comicbook/{{Watchmen}} Watchmen reference]] appears in the episode "Paradise Lost," where we see Bernie's newsstand.

** In "My Girl," Lex Luthor is overheard explaining to his henchman that he wants him in [[Franchise/TheFlash Central City]] by that night.

** In an example mixed with a TakeThat, another episode has Characters/{{Supergirl|TheCharacter}} reading a comic book about a [[Franchise/SpiderMan spider-themed superhero]] before disgustedly stating that the character is gross.

** "On Angel's Wings" gives us a brief glimpse of Warren reading a [[Franchise/SpiderMan Daily Bugle]] newspaper, as well as a [[Comicbook/IronMan Stark Industries]] building. Might be a MythologyGag due to the fact that pretty much 90% of the major Franchise/MarvelUniverse players are based in New York City.

*** Doctor Fate is called "[[Comicbook/DoctorStrange Earth's Sorcerer Supreme]]."
*** The villain Black Spider was retooled to resemble Franchise/SpiderMan, and is voiced by Josh Keaton who played Spider-Man in ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderman'' cartoon, which was also created by Greg Weisman.

*** Not only does T.O. Morrow resemble [[Comicbook/IronMan Tony Stark]], but Red Volcano resembles [[WholeCostumeReference Iron Man]].
*** Possibly why the latest group of superpowered teens is called the "[[Comicbook/{{Runaways}} runaways]]", including an episode title. They were more properly alien abductees and only ran away from League supervision.

** Comicbook/GreenArrow and Artemis use a [[Series/DoctorWho blue police box as their Justice League teleporter.]] Later, Miss Martian uses a similar police box [[Recap/DoctorWhoS1E1AnUnearthlyChild located in a junkyard.]]

** There's also this one to Franchise/{{Superman}}, complete with a SuspiciouslySimilarSong version of Supes' Main Theme:

** At one point, [[ComicBook/SquadronSupreme Hyperion]] steals [[Characters/TheMightyThorThorOdinson Thor]]'s red cape and wears it as a trophy. This causes him to look ''even more'' like the Creator/DCComics [[Franchise/{{Superman}} character]] he is a CaptainErsatz of.
** In "Prison Break", Princess Zarda believes in [[Film/ConanTheBarbarian1982 crushing her enemies, seeing them driven before her, and hearing the lamentations of their men]]. Also when Typhoid Mary uses her mental powers on the guards, Zarda calls her a "merciless Minerva", and later during the inevitable betrayal, she says Mary is a "suffering savage". These are both references to the OhMyGods exclamations of [[Franchise/WonderWoman the DC character]] ''she's'' a CaptainErsatz of: "Merciful Minerva!" and "Suffering Sappho!"

** Blizzard was redesigned to look like Franchise/TheFlash's foe (as well as Blizzard's AlternateCompanyEquivalent), Captain Cold.

** In "Filet of Soul", Dexter prepares to get rid of the ghost of the family's pet goldfish and boats [[{{Franchise/Ghostbusters}} "Who ya gonna call?"]]

** ''Nix on Hypnotricks'' and ''She-Sick Sailors'' make references to {{Franchise/Superman}}.

** In one episode, Mikey meets a superhero named [[Franchise/GreenLantern Green Mantle]]. His civilian name is even "Al Gordon" after Hal Jordan.

** In "Spidah-Man" , the city of Boston provides Spidey with a gadget-filled cave, [[TheJeeves an English butler]], a [[ThemeMobile Spider-Mobile]], and even an eager KidSidekick. [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Three guesses as to who these Shout Outs are aimed at]].

** The Bathmobile from the episode by the same name is obvious reference to the Batmobile from the ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' franchise, particularly when Wally calls out "To the bathmobile!"

** A scene of "Impact" has Toad knocking on the head of the petrified Mystique shouting "[[Film/BacktoTheFuture Hello? McFly?]]"

** There are also a few shout-outs to ''Film/BackToTheFuture''. Marty [=McFly=] himself appears in a brief, pause-or-you'll-miss-it cameo in "Masters of All Time" and "Splitting Images". George [=McFly=]'s book "A Match Made in Space" is seen in "Double Cross My Heart". And the coolest; the clock tower in the University of Madison (in "Masters of All Time") reads 10:04.

** In "Prison Break", Princess Zarda believes in [[Film/ConanTheBarbarian crushing her enemies, seeing them driven before her, and hearing the lamentations of their men]]. Also when Typhoid Mary uses her mental powers on the guards, Zarda calls her a "merciless Minerva", and later during the inevitable betrayal, she says Mary is a "suffering savage". These are both references to the OhMyGods exclamations of [[Franchise/WonderWoman the DC character]] ''she's'' a CaptainErsatz of: "Merciful Minerva!" and "Suffering Sappho!"

** Airazor's pose in "The Low Road" (as seen in the page image) is a direct reference to the famous StarWars poster.

* ShoutOut/TeenTitans

** In "My Fair Gretchen", right before Miss Finster gives everyone their tests, she says, "[[Film/DirtyHarry Do you feel lucky? Well, DO YOU PUNKS?"]]
*** This is followed up by T.J. saying, "The old lady's been watching too many Creator/ClintEastwood films!"

** In one episode, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NLrjVnMO7k Brain and Wakko appear]], after Freakazoid is called "wacko" for mowing someone's lawn. They are seen arguing over which show is Steven Speilberg's favorite. Wakko sings "Wakko's America" right after he appears!

** The exterior of Luthor's mansion, as seen in "The Return" looks [[Film/CitizenKane quite]] [[http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/763/luthorkane.jpg familiar...]]

** In "This Little Piggy", when Comicbook/{{Zatanna}} is trying to [[PullARabbitOutOfMyHat grab a rabbit in her hat]], she calls out for "WesternAnimation/{{Bugs|Bunny}}."

** This Little Piggy has numerous references to ''Series/{{Bewitched}}''.

** In "Dead Reckoning", Superman, [[ItMakesSenseInContext currently possessed by Deadman]], says when he, Batman and Franchise/WonderWoman are transported to Africa, "You know, [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries when they beam down on that TV show, they never miss.]]"

** The two-part episode "The Terror Beyond" is an extended homage to the Creator/MarvelComics team Comicbook/TheDefenders. Comicbook/DoctorFate stands in for Comicbook/DoctorStrange, Solomon Grundy for [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk the Hulk]], Hawkgirl for Nighthawk, and ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} for [[ComicBook/SubMariner Namor]]. Grundy even refers to Hawkgirl as "Bird Nose", Hulk's nickname for Nighthawk.

*** The same team returns in the ''[[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Justice League Unlimited]]'' episode "Wake the Dead", with Amazo now added to the group as a stand-in for the Comicbook/SilverSurfer.

** In an example mixed with a TakeThat, another episode has Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} reading a comic book about a [[Franchise/SpiderMan spider-themed superhero]] before disgustedly stating that the character is gross.

* ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution''
** One episode had Blob watching a cartoon with characters that suspiciously looked like WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls.

* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'':

** There's also this one to Franchise/{{Superman}}, completely with a SuspiciouslySimilarSong version of Supes' Main Theme:
-->'''Dinobot:''' ''Wait! Look! Down in the sky! Is it a bird?''\\

** Are we forgetting Megatron's [[spoiler:first appearing to Optimus after he gets his new dragon body? "Film/EnterTheDragon!"]]

** At one point, [[ComicBook/SquadronSupreme Hyperion]] steals [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]]'s red cape and wears it as a trophy. This causes him to look ''even more'' like the Creator/DCComics [[Franchise/{{Superman}} character]] he is a CaptainErsatz of.

** [[Franchise/SpiderMan Peter Parker]]'s outfit looks a lot like that of [[WesternAnimation/Ben10 Ben Tennyson]]. Creator/ManOfActionStudios created the ''Franchise/Ben10'' franchise and did most of the second season episodes of ''Earth's Mightiest Heroes''.

*** Vilgax has homing EyeBeams like ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}.

*** Charmcaster dons a similar tiara as ComicBook/ScarletWitch.

* ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko''

-->'''Ember:''' [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan So...where's the splat?]]

-->'''Paulina:''' So you're like, [[WesternAnimation/CasperTheFriendlyGhost a friendly ghost]]?

* ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory''

** King ''Cryolophosaurus'' is just one big Creator/ElvisPresley reference.

* ''WesternAnimation/HiHiPuffyAmiYumi'': In "Were-Kaz", Kaz's transformation via lap dissolves parodies ''[[Film/TheWolfMan1941 The Wolf Man]]'', complete with an [[{{Retraux}} old, grainy, black-and-white film effect]].

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/MonsterBusterClub'', Cathy is sent to detention, and it's specifically mentioned that it will be in [[Literature/NineteenEightyFour Room 101]].

* ''ComicStrip/{{Popeye}}''

* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'' had a wangsty villain whose sidekick/best friend was named [=DiTillio=], after one of episode writer J. Michael Straczynski's former colleagues from ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983''.
** Peter Venkman is a fan of ''Series/TheBobNewhartShow''. Doubles as an ActorAllusion: his voice actor, Lorenzo Music, was ''Newhart's'' executive producer.

** In the Battle Nexus Tournament Mikey faces [[http://tmnt.wikia.com/wiki/Kluh Kluh]] from the dimension "[[SdrawkcabName Levram]]". His father is Ammag.

** The use of the scare cord during "Snow Day" seemed [[Series/{{Lost}} awfully familiar...]]

** In "Game Over" Spidey, Cap and Wolverine face off against [[MirrorMatch LMD Doppelgangers]] of themselves, when they are about to square off the "Versus" image is ''a lot'' like VideoGame/CapcomVersusWhatever, the doubles are even a lighter shade of PaletteSwap.

-->'''Deadpool:''' {{You|CantHandleTheParody}} [[Film/AFewGoodMen can't handle the truth]]!

* ''WesternAnimation/SpecialAgentOso'' has many, ''many'' ''Film/JamesBond'' references, all the way up to [[IncrediblyLamePun hilariously bad]] titles (ex: ''[[Film/LiveAndLetDie Live and Let Dry]]'', ''[[Film/CasinoRoyale2006 Carousel Royale]]'', ''[[Film/GoldenEye Goldenfly]]'', ''[[Film/AViewToAKill A View to a Kitten00]],'' etc.) complete with {{Homage}}s to the original Bond movies' {{Title Theme Tune}}s...

* ''WesternAnimation/PeppaPig'': In a ChristmasEpisode you can see, of all things, a picture of [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Suzumiya Haruhi]].

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'', while not as ShoutOut-y as ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', does have a few.
** "The Glass Princess" has a couple of examples:
*** The title and refrain of "Oh, What a Tangled Web We Weave", is taken from ''Marmion'', an 1808 poem by Sir Walter Scott.
--->''"Oh! what a tangled web we weave''\\

*** As the raptorians celebrate their approaching victory and the prospect of taking a vitrified Ponyland as their new homeland, they run around in circles while shouting "[[Literature/TheWizardOfOz there's no place like home, there's no place like home!]]"
** On one occasion, the Moochick and his rabbit assistant Habbit are seen playing [[Franchise/StarTrek three-dimensional chess]]. Amusingly, Habbit is winning.
