Line #198 Main/StockShoutOuts


1	A ShoutOut that pops up in a lot of places. An oddly specific Shout Out.
2
3	Apparently multiple authors independently noticed the same detail and decided to reference it in their own story. The fact that so many authors possess such a thorough knowledge of the original story goes to show just how influential the subject of the ShoutOut is. It's a good example of PopculturalOsmosis: everybody knows that one scene, even if that's all they know about it.
4
5	Stock Shout Outs differ from StockParodies in two ways: They aren't played for laughs (beyond the inherent in-joke-esque nature of the common reference point) and they're usually blink-and-you'll-miss[[SelfReferentialHumor -]]it short.
6
7	Some are so famous that they've become tropes themselves.
8
9	See also ArtImitatesArt for shout-outs to single non-narrative artworks or images.

110	----
111	!!Examples
112	[[foldercontrol]]
113
114	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
115	* ''Manga/{{AKIRA}}'':
116	** The giant sloped freight elevator.
117	** Also, that badass motorcycle slide from the movie that Kaneda does.
118	** Tetsuo's [[BodyHorror transformation]] in the end.
119	** Less often: firing of [[KillSat SOL]] and Tetsuo's DefaceOfTheMoon.
120	* The scene of the Colossal Titan looming over Wall Maria from ''Manga/AttackOnTitan''. The reference may also include people gliding through the air DualWielding blades emulating the Survey Corps.
121	* The ending scene of ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion End of Evangelion]]'', depicting people on the beach of red ocean AfterTheEnd, with a giant figure in the distance.
122	* Expect a lot of art shifts to ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' whenever a character wants to get serious in a comedic fashion. Any desert setting will also have the infamous mohawk-wearing riders there as well.
123	* ''Manga/GlassMask'' gave us the iconic open-mouthed ColorFailure, complete with posh shock and absurdly melodramatic faces. If a Japanese series wants to show the haughty getting their serving of humble pie, expect to see them in this manga's style.
124	* If there's gonna be an ''Manga/InitialD'' shoutout somewhere, expect to see someone pulling off a gutter drop technique and expect the opponent to be driving a Mazda RX-7 [=FD3S=] (yellow color optional), probably rendered in CGI. There is the off chance that Eurobeat might be playing during this sequence, but it's not guaranteed.
125	* Whenever you see "GOGOGOGOGO" sound effects, that will always be a ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' reference. Other very common shout outs are quotes such as "[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood Do you remember how many pieces of bread you've eaten in your life?]]" and "[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable But I refuse!]]", [[FightingSpirit Stands]] appearing behind characters, exaggerated poses that often reference specific characters, and anything from ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]]'', especially ORAORAORA for RapidFireFisticuffs or anything Dio Brando does.
126	* Long-running Franchise/LupinIII is a source of many stock shout outs. The two most commonly referenced are from his second theatrical film, ''Anime/TheCastleOfCagliostro'':
127	** The car chase early in the film has been referenced by animes as far apart as ''Manga/LuckyStar'' and ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer''.
128	** The single most referenced shot is at the end, when Lupin dives into the water cradling Clarise in his arms. Any time a character dives into water while holding someone else protectively in their arms, especially if it splashes down by an aqueduct or a bridge that resembles one, it's a reference to this shot.
129	* [[IdolSinger Ranka Lee's]] "Kira" pose from ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'' has been referenced in quite a lot of different Japanese media. While it is common for the person doing the gesture to be an IdolSinger, the gesture has popped up in many works unrelated to idols, such as ''Anime/AkibasTripTheAnimation'', ''Literature/NoRin'', and ''Manga/TheWorldGodOnlyKnows''.
130	* ''Anime/MazingerZ'' gave us the [[{{Unobtainium}} Super Alloy Z]] and the RocketPunch. They pop up frequently, especially the second, which has quickly became THE most famous and most ubiquitous SuperRobot weapon, showing up in all kind of works. Whenever a character [[CallingYourAttacks screams]] "Roketto Panchi!" it is directly referencing the TropeNamer.
131	** Since [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff Spaniards Love Mazinger-Z]], the Spanish DubNameChange variant ("¡Puños Fuera!", meaning "Fists Out!") has become so omnipresent that it has been used in movie titles. And when a foreign work features a RocketPunch, whatever attack name that the character screams is automatically replaced by "¡Puños Fuera!" more often than not.
132	* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'': "You hit me! Not even my own father hit me!", which pops up a lot in Japanese media, usually in the same context (a SpoiledBrat acting shocked when someone actually [[DopeSlap smacks]] them for being a brat). There is also the fact that recurring Universal Century AntiHero Char Aznable has been parodied quite a lot in anime, usually seen in the form of references to his signature red AceCustom.
133	* The bus stop scene from ''Anime/MyNeighborTotoro'' has been parodied quite a lot in popular culture.
134	* The image of God Warriors [[SetTheWorldOnFire burning the world]] from ''Manga/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind'' (which is, in fact, the first page of the manga and the second scene of the movie) is used to depict TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, sometimes parodically, sometimes not. [[SweepingLaserExplosion God Warior firing]] its BreathWeapon often serves as a model for other {{Wave Motion Gun}}s. [[BabyDollBaby The fate of Princess Kushana's mother]] is also referenced. Not to mention [[HorseOfADifferentColor large flightless birds]] as mounts.
135	* Iyami's "SHEEH!" pose from ''Manga/OsomatsuKun'' is THE go-to standard shock/surprised pose in Japanese media.
136	* If you see someone watching a pastiche of magical girl shows, you can rest easy knowing that it will be a ''Anime/SailorMoon'' or ''Anime/PrettyCure'' spoof.
137	** Not just in anime, but in WesternAnimation- if there's a TransformationSequence that isn't in a MagicalGirl show, it will be similar to ''Anime/SailorMoon''.
138	* The [[http://blog.honeyfeed.fm/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/ashita-no-joe-wallpaper2-500x371.jpg final shot]] in ''Manga/TomorrowsJoe'', after everyone realizes that [[spoiler:Joe died of his injuries in the ring]].
139
140	[[/folder]]
141
142	[[folder:Comic Books]]
143	* "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry," from [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk the Hulk]].
144	* "It's a bird! It's a plane!" from ''Franchise/{{Superman}}''. Also, "This looks like a job for..."
145	** Various Superman pastiches; changing costumes in a phone booth, working as a reporter, disguising yourself [[ClarkKenting with only glasses]]...
146	** The cover of ''Action Comics'' #1 with Superman holding a car over his head and smashing it into a rock. Particulary detailed homages will also copy the poses of the bystanders.
147	** The cover of ''Adventure Comics'' #247 with the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperheroes voting not to admit Superboy is very frequently homaged in comics.
148	* For Franchise/{{Batman}}, the Bat-Signal, Batcave, and the addition of the "Bat-" prefix are all referenced and parodied constantly.
149	** The TV version also gives us the theme song, "Bam!" and "Pow!" showing up in fight scenes, "Holy something, Batman," and the transition between scenes with the bat logo.
150	* ComicBook/SpiderMan's "My Spider-Senses are tingling" line, sometimes with the "Spider-" part replaced with a more appropriate prefix, sometimes not.
151	** "With great power comes great responsibility."
152	* If ThrowingYourShieldAlwaysWorks, there is a good chance it is a nod to ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica''.
153	[[/folder]]
154
155	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
156	* The entire "LukeIAmYourFather" scene in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''. Ironically, most shout outs to this will [[BeamMeUpScotty get the line wrong]].
157	** "Use the Force!"
158	* "Wax on, wax off", from ''Film/TheKarateKid'', although it's sometimes parodied with the trainer simply needing those things done.
159	* "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" and "The horror... the horror..." from ''Film/ApocalypseNow''. The latter line originates in the book, ''Literature/HeartOfDarkness''.
160	** Wagner as the theme tune of helicopters and napalm.
161	* "Oh Captain, My Captain!", along with standing on a desk -- from ''Film/DeadPoetsSociety'', and therefore often used with SaveOurStudents plots.
162	** Itself a reference to the Creator/WaltWhitman poem of the same name, which is ''itself'' a quotation from ''Literature/MobyDick''.
163	* The "one of us" chant from ''Film/{{Freaks}}''
164	* "Preciousssssss" or "my Precioussssss". ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings''
165	* "That's the second-[adjective]-est [noun] I've ever seen!" from ''Series/GetSmart''
166	* The ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' series has given us quite a few.
167	** "GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER!"
168	** "Nuke it from orbit. ItsTheOnlyWayToBeSure"
169	* ''Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes'':
170	** The Statue of Liberty half-buried or submerged
171	** The line "You maniacs! You blew it up!"
172	** Also the "damn dirty ape" line should be expected any time there's an antagonism with a primate.
173	* "You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me?" from ''Film/TaxiDriver''
174	* The "King of the World" stance from Film/{{Titanic 1997}}.
175	* ''Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs'': "Well, Clarice, have the lambs stopped screaming?"
176	** "It puts the lotion on its skin..." and "I ate his liver with a fava beans and a nice chianti (with the odd sucking sound)" are both often used, humorously, as an exaggerated way of saying that somebody is psychotically crazy.
177	* 1138: The designated number of the main character in Creator/GeorgeLucas' student film, later made a full motion picture, ''Film/THX1138''. It appears in EasterEggs absolutely ''everywhere'' in Star Wars media.
178	** Even referenced in the Ride/DisneyThemeParks in Star Tours
179	* ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''
180	** TheMonolith, and the use of "StandardSnippet/AlsoSprachZarathustra".
181	** "Open the pod-bay doors, [=HAL=]." Often paired with:
182	** "I'm afraid I can't do that." or the [[BeamMeUpScotty misquote]], "I'm sorry, Dave, I can't do that" or "I'm afraid I can't let you do that" (both are used).
183	** Any use of "The Blue Danube" to images in space.
184	** [[GooGooGodlike The Star Child]].
185	* "STELLLLLLLLLLLAAAA!!!!!!" from ''Film/AStreetcarNamedDesire''
186	* "I'll get you, my pretty! AndYourLittleDogToo!", from ''Film/TheWizardOfOz''
187	** NotInKansasAnymore
188	* "I'll be back." From the films of Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger, including, but not limited to, the ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' series.
189	* "That'll do, X[[note]]usually, this is "pig"[[/note]]. That'll do," from ''Film/{{Babe}}''.
190	* [[ThrowItIn "I'm walkin' here!"]], from ''Film/MidnightCowboy''
191	* The Babel Building, from ''Film/{{Metropolis}}''
192	* "KlaatuBaradaNikto!" From ''Film/TheDayTheEarthStoodStill1951''.
193	* "See you next Wednesday": to director Creator/JohnLandis' CreatorThumbprint.
194	** This one was actually inverted once. [[http://groups.google.com/group/rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5/msg/910d367e0e6bd61f See here.]] JMS, creator of ''Series/BabylonFive'', used the phrase in reference to the series being aired on Wednesdays and would have ''changed'' it if he knew it could be seen as a John Landis reference.
195	* "TannhauserGate", usually as a space battle in ScienceFiction. From ''Film/BladeRunner''. Spelling may vary. Or the whole speech may be used:
196	--> I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. [pause] Time to die.
197	* "FeedMe!" Or "Feed me, Seymour!", delivered in a LargeHam fashion, usually in a voice as deep as the speaker can manage; from ''Theatre/LittleShopOfHorrors''
198	* ''Film/CrocodileDundee'''s infamous "That's not a knife" exchange.
199	* "Be afraid. Be very afraid." From the remake ''Film/TheFly1986''.
200	** While we're on the subject of Creator/DavidCronenberg movies, the infamous [[YourHeadAsplode exploding head scene]] from ''Film/{{Scanners}}''.
201	* The iconic shot of Cesare carrying a sleeping Jane over the rooftops in ''Film/TheCabinetOfDrCaligari''.
202	* Orlok's shadow ascending a staircase in ''Film/{{Nosferatu}}''. To the point where, when they made a movie that fictionalized the filming of ''Nosferatu'', they literally called it ''Film/ShadowOfTheVampire''.
203	* "The Spice must flow!", from Creator/DavidLynch's ''Film/Dune1984'' (also see below, under Literature).
204	* Brainwashing people will often resemble TheLudovicoTechnique.
205	* In any Franchise/JamesBond parody, whether it's the whole basis of the work or a fleeting gag, the villain is very likely to be based on Donald Pleasance's performance, costume and make-up as Blofeld in ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice''.
206	* Playing ChessWithDeath, from ''Film/TheSeventhSeal''.
207	* [[CloserThanTheyAppear A dinosaur in the rear-view mirror]], from ''Film/JurassicPark''.
208	* Any time a character dives under a lowering door as it is about to close, expect to see them drop and then retrieve their hat (or, barring that, some other item) in reference to ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''.
209	* Any sequel [[OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo inexplicably subtitled]] "[[Film/Breakin2ElectricBoogaloo Electric Boogaloo]]".
210	* The ''entire premise'' of ''Film/BlackHawkDown'' has become one, to the point where it's difficult to find a shooter in a modern desert warfare setting that doesn't have a map or mission similar to the film. Other popular moments include the helicopter being shot down by an RPG-7 and the "Mogadishu Mile".
211	* ''Film/SavingPrivateRyan'' and ''Series/BandOfBrothers'' hold a similar status for UsefulNotes/WorldWarII video games, especially those set on the Western front, to the point where entire scenes were recreated as levels in ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' and ''VideoGame/MedalOfHonor''.
212	* Aside from the eponymous TheGraduateHomageShot mentioned above, ''Film/TheGraduate'' is the source of the infamous BetweenMyLegs shot accompanied with the line, "Mrs. Robinson — you're trying to seduce me... Aren't you?" For that matter, just using the name "MrsRobinson" about a seductive older woman may be enough to qualify.
213	* A character produces a grotesquely [[{{BFG}} oversized weapon]] while saying "[[Film/Scarface1983 Say hello to my little friend!]]".
214	* If a character tries to [[PromWrecker ruin prom]], expect an homage to the scene in ''Film/{{Carrie\|1976}}'' where the protagonist gets pig's blood dropped on her.
215	* Creator/BruceLee's yellow and black tracksuit from ''Film/GameOfDeath''.
216	* The "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" number from ''Film/GentlemenPreferBlondes''.
217	* Creator/CarmenMiranda has gone down in history as the originator of the fruit hat -- "The Lady in the Tutti-Frutti Hat" in ''Film/TheGangsAllHere'' -- one of comedy's most enduring [[TheHilarityOfHats funny hat]]/silly dance bits.
218	* ''Film/TheExorcist'' has made "Your mother sucks cocks in hell!" an obligatory line to say for any being possessed by a demon/devil.
219	* When a plot-important vehicle is destroyed or has a fiery, spectacular crash, we may expect to see its detached license plate twirling on the ground, a la ''Film/BackToTheFuture1''.
220	[[/folder]]
221
222	[[folder:Literature]]
223	* Literature/CatchTwentyTwo, from the novel of the same name.
224	* "He who controls the Spice controls the universe!" from ''Literature/{{Dune}}''
225	** Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear may show up once in a while.
226	* "Yer a wizard, Harry", from ''Literature/HarryPotter''. (Although it's worth noting that that wording is particular to the films. In the books, the line is, "Harry — yer a wizard".)
227	* JustForFun/FortyTwo: Most famous as the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything in ''Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'', though it occurs over and over again in Lewis Carroll's works.
228	* "Nevermore." Creator/EdgarAllanPoe's ''Literature/TheRaven''. Expect it wherever or whenever anything corvid-related appears.
229	* {{Room 101}} from ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour''
230	* Literature/SherlockHolmes in general, but in particular lines like "[[BeamMeUpScotty elementary, my dear Watson]]", "the game's afoot", and "when you've ruled out the impossible, whatever remains, [however improbable,] must be the truth".
231	* [[Literature/LesMiserables Jean Valjean]]'s prisoner number, #24601, pops up frequently when a series visits a prison.
232	* The "Gimlet" joke that is re-used throughout many of the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' novels: it related to a Dwarf with the capacity to really hold your gaze.
233	** Creator/JRRTolkien's wise words on dwarfs in ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' also take a repeated hammering. The original Gimli's assertion that there such things as female Dwarfs, only "they are in look and garb so alike to the males that the eyes of Man cannot tell them apart" spawns several books' worth of ShoutOut-s to dwarfs who favour chain-mail lingerie and take more care with grooming their beards. A Dwarf schoolgirl is allowed into a prestigious boarding school, but must plait her beard with ribbons in the school colours. Then there is Dwarf feminist Cheery Littlebottom, who rebels against all that but cannot bring herself to shave her beard off.
234	* References to the various [[TomeOfEldritchLore Tomes of Eldritch Lore]] of the Franchise/CthulhuMythos. The ''Necronomicon'' and Chambers's ''Literature/TheKingInYellow'' (pre-Lovecraft but later absorbed into the mythos) are the standards, but it's not unheard of for ''De Vermis Mysteriis'' or ''Die Unsprechliche Kulten'' to make appearances.
235	* Many works have featured single-episode or single-issue plots involving islands infested with [[TheVirus human-parasitising]] [[FesteringFungus Festering Fungi]], which are Shout Outs to either Creator/WilliamHopeHodgson's short horror story "The Voice in the Night", or its much-expanded Japanese film adaptation ''Film/{{Matango}}[=/=]Attack of the Mushroom People''.
236	[[/folder]]
237
238	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
239	* 4 8 15 16 23 42: The ''Series/{{Lost}}'' numbers, which notably include two numbers listed separately above.
240	* "Beam me up, Scotty", of course, is [[BeamMeUpScotty a misquote]], but it serves as one of these nonetheless. The actual beaming up sequence is also an example, as are phasers with the settings "stun" and "kill".
241	* ''Series/ThePrisoner1967'':
242	** The entire [[OpeningNarration opening conversation]] between Number Six and Number Two.
243	** The black jacket with white piping worn by the title character.
244	** The monstrous weather balloon Rover.
245	** The phrase "Questions are a burden to others; answers a prison for the self."
246	** The farewell "Be seeing you."
247	* ''Series/TwinPeaks''
248	** "Who killed Laura Palmer?"
249	** The iconic 'waiting room dream' that Agent Cooper has
250	** "Damn good coffee!"
251	** "[[OminousOwl The owls are not what they seem.]]"
252	* ''Franchise/KamenRider'': The [[FinishingMove Rider]] [[DivingKick Kick]], with obligatory "[[CallingYourAttacks (insert name here) KIIIIICK!!]]", at least in Japanese media.
253	* A team of multicolored masked superheroes in spandex is a clear reference to ''Franchise/SuperSentai''/''Franchise/PowerRangers''.
254	[[/folder]]
255
256	[[folder:Music]]
257	* The phrase [[Music/GunsNRoses "Welcome to the Jungle"]] pops out everywhere.
258	* The first four notes of Music/LudwigVanBeethoven's Fifth Symphony.
259	** Music/OdeToJoy, from the Ninth Symphony.
260	* Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse" has been used countless times in animated cartoons.
261	* Music/ElvisPresley in his UsefulNotes/LasVegas period.
262	* Music/TheBeatles in their mob top haircut days.
263	** [[SgtPeppersShoutOut The]] [[AbbeyRoadCrossing covers]] of ''Music/SgtPeppersLonelyHeartsClubBand'' and ''Music/AbbeyRoad''.
264	* MichaelJacksonsThrillerParody: Because sometimes it's not even meant as a parody, but more as a shout-out.
265	* Sampling music is a kind of shout out in itself.
266	** The line "Put your hands up in the air/and wave 'm like you just don't care" from Music/TheSugarHillGang has been used in countless rap songs.
267	** The AmenBreak by the Winston Brothers and Music/JamesBrown 's "The Funky Drummer" have beats and breaks that have been sampled to death.
268	** The announcement "The Official Adventures of..." from Music/GrandmasterFlashAndTheFuriousFive has also been re-used countless times.
269	* The album cover of ''Music/TheDarkSideOfTheMoon''.
270	* The BoDiddleyBeat.
271	* An incredibly large GirlGroup calling themselves some variation of "[[Music/AKB48 ABC48]]".
272	* Expect references to the 50's song "Love Potion No. 9" written by Music/LeiberAndStoller when {{Love Potion}}s and/or attempts at courtship are afoot.
273	[[/folder]]
274
275	[[folder:Theatre]]
276	* The MajorGeneralSong, from ''Theatre/ThePiratesOfPenzance''; also a favorite stock parody
277	* Music/PirateJenny, from the song by Creator/BertoltBrecht and Music/KurtWeill
278	* Also see ReferencedBy.WilliamShakespeare
279	* Theatre/{{Hamilton}}: Anything about "throwing away my shot."
280	[[/folder]]
281
282	[[folder:Video Games]]
283	* "I used to be a ____ like you, then I took an arrow in the knee," from ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim''. As of 2012 it's received nods from ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' and ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'', among others. It's become a DiscreditedMeme quite quickly, which went to the point where [[UndeadHorseTrope mocking it is the new standard]].
284	* TheCakeIsALie had a similar lifespan. Used first in ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'', then turned into a meme, then to a StockShoutOut and finally a DiscreditedMeme. It was so abused, even the creators got sick of it and removed the references to the joke in ''VideoGame/Portal2''.
285	* "You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike", from ''VideoGame/ColossalCave''.
286	* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' brought us the denial of victory in "Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!" Usually only the second sentence gets used, and often as "YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle."
287	* At least in ''Franchise/MassEffect'' Fanfiction, having one of [[FemmeFatale Miranda Lawson's]] aliases be named [[Series/{{Chuck}} Sarah Walker]]. This is because Miranda's character [[{{Expy}} is heavily based off of hers]] and she's [[ActorAllusion voiced by Sarah's actor]] Yvonne Strahovski.
288	* ''VideoGame/ZeroWing'' references invariably use CATS' opening spiel: "[[AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs All your ____ are belong to us]]," et cetera. One example from Creator/CharlesStross' ''Literature/TheAtrocityArchive'' when the protagonist is giving an overview of computational demonology:
289	--> "This has several consequences, starting with screwing over most cryptography algorithms--translation: ''all your bank account are belong to us'' ..."
290	* The crowbar from ''VideoGame/HalfLife''.
291	* The combination code 0451 pops up a lot, typically in games created by Looking Glass Studios or its former employees and typically as the first code you're prompted for. It got started because it was the door code to Looking Glass's actual offices, and is often mistaken for a ''Literature/Fahrenheit451'' reference (a connection that has since been acknowledged in the newer ''Franchise/DeusExUniverse'' games with more explicit references to the book).
292	* The ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' series' bonfire became one of these, since recreating it is as simple as sticking a sword (or occasionally, a gun) into a campfire.
293	* MedievalFantasy worlds are usually flanked by some ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'' Shout-out, either by including a [[VideoGame/DragonQuest Loto]] clone somewhere or a send-up to the interface/4-man party.
294	* The names of ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' games are routinely dropped into any medium that another writer wants, particularly character abilities in a TabletopRPG (for example, saying that a creature is Highly Responsive to Prayers).
295	* The ItemGet jingle from ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda''.
296	* ''Franchise/MortalKombat'':
297	** The lines "FinishHim" and "(character) wins! Fatality!"
298	** Characters with an attack that drags their enemy towards them will often mimic Scorpion's "Get over here!" shout.

302	* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G8XH4WDxP4 children]] [[EverybodyDoTheEndlessLoop dancing]] during ''WesternAnimation/ACharlieBrownChristmas''.
303	* Many from ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo'', but the one that stands out is "I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids." {{Beat}}. "[[MyFriendsAndZoidberg And your dog, too]]." "Dog" is replaced with the appropriate qualifier.
304	** Or "And that stupid dog."
305	* Eyes popping out of their sockets and enormous rolling tongues will often be a shout-out to Creator/TexAvery.

309	* A113: A reference to the California Institute for the Arts, specifically the classroom for first-year graphic design. This one is common in Creator/{{Pixar}} films (witness "special order A113" in ''WesternAnimation/WallE''), but Cal Arts grad and Pixar stalwart Creator/BradBird also included references in ''Film/MissionImpossibleGhostProtocol''.
310	* Someone sticking out both hands and making the V-sign with them will immediately bring up images of UsefulNotes/RichardNixon.
311	** Often accompanied by rapidly shaking the head, allowing the jowls to flap.
312	* Fiction about boxing (and possibly any sort of combat sport in general) will almost ''always'' contain some sort of variation on "[[UsefulNotes/MuhammadAli Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee]]". In a similar vein, expect the protagonist to do the Ali Shuffle at some point too.
313	* "It's a man's life in...", from the traditional recruiting slogan "It's a man's life in the British Army". For extra humour, the organisation or occupation used will often be very lacking in apparent manliness.
