16* '''Zig Zagged''': At first, there are several shout-outs to several other works of fiction, then it becomes purely vanilla. During the climax, Charlie speaks the most famous line from ''Work 091'', and then the shout-outs permanently stop there.

29* '''Discussed''': "Now imagine if we started quoting famous works based on a situation similar to this!"
30* '''Conversed''': "Aren't they gonna mention ''Work 091''?" "Yeah, since the creator says he's a fan of it."
31* '''Implied''': Charlie has a lot of ''Work 091'' merch, and his siblings hate ''Work 091'', so when he goes into the living room, they groan out of annoyance.
32* '''Deconstructed''': Charlie is sued by the creator of ''Work 091'' afterwards.
33* '''Reconstructed''':
34** Charlie isn't sued, but he is ordered to pay royalties.
35** Charlie isn't sued--because the ShoutOut included due credit. [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity The creator of]] ''[[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity Work 091]]'' [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity appreciates the free publicity.]]
36* '''Played For Laughs''': [[SoUnfunnyItsFunny Charlie's attempts to tell jokes]] all fall flat because he can't keep himself from quoting his favorite work.
37* '''Played For Drama''': Charlie gets fired or fails school, depending on his age, because everything he does is related to ''Work 091'' and it has a negative effect on his productivity.
