Shout Out is not a Trivia trope. Moving.


* ShoutOut: The series contains several references to other media:
** The first story was slightly inspired by [[Film/RevengeoftheSith Revenge of the Sith]].
** The first chapter in the first story mentions that Ferb fell for three seconds, referencing the "three seconds deep" gag from [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb its source material]] in a bit of [[BlackComedy black comedy]].
** "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis THIS.]] [[Film/ThreeHundred IS.]] [[NarmCharm DANVILLE!]]"
** The scene with [[spoiler: Ferb's ghost]] is based on [[Disney/TheLionKing a scene in Lion King]].
** Chapter 1's title in the second story is named after a lyric in "Fight Inside" by [[Music/Red Red]].
** [[WesternAnimation/ACharlieBrownChristmas "I'll give you two reasons!" Heinz said angrily. "1...2..." he added, holding up two fingers.]]
** [[spoiler: Candace's [[HeelFaceTurn Heel Face Turn]] ]] was based on a scene in [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi yet another Star Wars film]].
** One of the lines in the last story ("Judge me now for who I am--or am I to be blamed for crimes I didn't commit?") is a slightly altered line from [[Disney/TheLionKingIISimbasPride Lion King 2]].
** Another line ("Minions, assemble!") is from [[Film/DespicableMe Despicable Me]].
