1It's Team Four Star, so it's a given:
2----
3* In the very first scene, Alucard and Police Girl kill [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Edward and Bella]].
4* The title of the first episode is from the WebVideo/NostalgiaCritic's review of ''Film/CaptainAmerica1990''.
5* Several sound effects were taken from [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Team Fortress 2]], such as Seras' rifle sounding like the Sniper Rifle, or various laughs and grunts from the classes being used as background sound effects.
6* Actually [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructed]] when Alucard points out that Anderson apparently stole all his speeches from ''Film/TheBoondockSaints''.
7** One of the only lines he didn't take from the movie was "It's a shame for ya lost yer head. A careless Vampire who wound up dead, ya wore yer sin like it was some kinda prize. Too many lies...Too many lies." That line is a slightly modified set of the opening lyrics to Wrestling/{{WWE}} wrestler Wrestling/{{Sheamus}}' [[{{Leitmotif}} original theme]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYgzxDEudJA song]]. The instrumental version of said theme song even plays during their encounter in the museum & then they had a orchestral version during his BigDamnHeroes moment at the end of episode 5
8* "And I'm Franchise/CarmenSandiego! ''Guess where I am.''"
9* ''"[[WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks You were talking all that good shit a second ago!]] Then I blew your fucking legs off!"''
10** Speaking of ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'', apparently bitches love cannons just as much as they do smiley faces.
11* '''"WE'RE HERE ON [[WebVideo/EpicMealTime EPIC MEAL TIME]]! I'M THE SAUCEBOSS, AND TONIGHT, WE'RE EATING THIS BLONDE LITTLE WANNABE DEMIGOD ''BITCH!'''''"
12** During the livestream of episode 8, [=Takahata101=] confessed that this particular joke [[OldShame makes him cringe now]] because of how dated the reference is.
13* {{Smark}}s who visit the [[ProfessionalWrestling /wooo/]] section of 420chan will immediately recognize Seras' cry of "ARMBARS EVERYWHERE!" when she restrains Jan Valentine.
14* "You know what? Fuck it. ''[[WebVideo/TheAnnoyingOrange Knife!]]''"
15** And in the first episode:
16--->'''Alucard:'''Hey, police girl. Hey, police girl.
17* Alucard is a fan of ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' and watches it when Integra bribes him with a plasma TV.
18* [[VideoGame/BrutalLegend DECAPITATIOOOOOON!]]
19** [[Music/BonJovi SHOT THROUGH THE HEART!]]
20* After realizing what a bored Alucard would do if Hellsing's funding is cut off, one of the Round Table says [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} "Shut up and take our money!"]]
21* In Episode 3, Alucard was making [[Film/TheThreeStooges "whoop whoop whoop"]] noises while walking up a wall of a building.
22* To the ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' 'kaio-what' running gag, in Alucard's own powerup sequence:
23-->'''Alucard''': Release restraint level one.\
24'''Luke''': Level what? ''(leg gets shot off)''
25* And when Jan's self-destruct chip went off, he screamed "And now I'm on fucking fire!" nearly mirroring the last Kanassan's dying moment "[[NoIndoorVoice I'M ON FIRE.]]"
26* To WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries: "Give me a hug!"
27** He then proceeds to violently murder him, like Melvin would.
28* After [[BattleButler Walter]] introduces himself, Jan refers to him as [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Alfred]]. In the same line, he also calls him [[Literature/JeevesAndWooster Jeeves]].
29* You can hear the [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} Squiddles]] theme song in the background during Anderson and Alucard's almost-fight in the art gallery. They also use some music from Anime/TheBigO in that episode too...
30* In Episode 3 we get "[[Franchise/YuGiOh you activated my trap card/Alucard.]]"
31* Rip Van Winkle seems to exist to give Internet shoutouts.
32** She references ''The Game'', ''Series/DoctorWho'', ''{{Webcomic/Homestuck}}'', "checking your privilege", rainbows, and tacos.
33** She directly references ''{{VideoGame/Portal}}'' by painting "TheCakeIsALie" on the hull of the aircraft carrier in blood, and Rick-Rolling by singing "Never Gonna Give You Up."
34** Every time she aims her rifle, and then when she fires at Alucard (before the laser sound effects kick in), it makes the sound of [[VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends Caitlyn's Ace in the Hole ability activating, then firing.]]
35** The Germans are also glad she's no longer going on about [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic the ponies,]] [[OhGodWithTheVerbing and the friendship, and the wrapping up of the winter.]]
36** Rip van Winkle is many of the worst aspects of Tumblr fandom personified.
37* Alucard arrives via plane with "Shoot To Thrill" blaring, much like [[Film/IronMan2 Iron]] [[Film/TheAvengers2012 Man]].
38* In episode 6, Zorin says Jackle's "Peekaboo! I kill you!" line from Archie Comics' infamous ''VideoGame/NightsIntoDreams'' series.
39* When Father Maxwell receives the aid of several holy warrior orders, one of them reports he has brought the Mexican Inquisition, triggering the following exchange:
40-->'''Maxwell:''' I did not expect you.\
41'''Diego:''' [[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus No one ever does!]]
42* The Mexican one is named [[Series/Zorro1957 Don Diego de la Vega]].
43* A group of OTT fanservice teenagers wouldn't have had their [[Manga/HighschoolOfTheDead adventure]] in Japan if Alucard had [[NiceJobBreakingItHero done his job]].
44-->'''Alucard''' ''(on the phone to Integra)'' I'm ninety-nine... point nine percent done here... ''(cut to a zombie bashing itself against a gate)''
45* The sound effects are quite diverse as well; in addition to the infamous [[StockSoundEffect Wilhelm Scream]], a lot of the 'group laughter' and 'people screaming' FX are taken from VideoGame/TeamFortress2's voice clips.
46* Most of the Wild Geese are named after the actors who voiced them in the OVA's English dub.
47* One of the Nazis asks another Nazi if they're the bad guys. In other words: "[[Series/ThatMitchellAndWebbLook Hans...are we the baddies?]]"
48* When [[spoiler: Satan]] shows up, an instrumental version of the opening theme of [[VideoGame/{{Cuphead}} Cuphead]] plays.
49* In episode 8, When [[spoiler: Anderson reveals he has Helena's nail,]] Heinkel mentions that it was in the "Don't Fuck With This" Armory, where they also keep the Ark of the Covenant, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the actual body of Christ.
50** The fact that Christ's body is in the "Don't Fuck With This" Armory may imply it's the version from [[Manga/{{JojosBizarreAdventureSteelBallRun}} Steel Ball Run.]]
51* Also from episode 8, Heinkel orders Yumie to "do the thing", similar to how [[Characters/TheLegendOfKorraAllies Varrick]] usually orders [[BeleagueredAssistant Zhu Li]] in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra''.
52* [[ShownTheirWork A little known one:]] the 3rd and 4th verses of "Alexander Anderson ([[{{Theatre/Hamilton}} Hamilton Parody]])", the ending theme of Episode 8, talking about Anderson's past with the mob and killing his first vampire, is a reference to ''Angel Dust'', a hentai manga from ''Hellsing's'' author.
53** This was actually done even earlier at the very end of episode 5. After Anderson saves Integra from the Nazis, one of the nicknames they cite for him is 'The Angel's Dust.'
54* Seras refers to the Captain as a [[Film/AnAmericanWerewolfInLondon Nazi Werewolf in London]].
55* From Alucard's battle with Walter:
56-->'''Alucard:''' ''[cocks gun]'' [[Literature/OldYeller No, mama! He was MY dog!]] ''I'll do it!'' ''[shoots the Hound of Baskerville]''
57* When Alucard strikes a pose during his battle with Walter, he proudly declares that, "Yes! This ''is'' a [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure Jojo]] [[MemeticMutation reference!"]]
58* Integra threatens to shove Seras in [[ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} a box and ship her to Abu Dhabi.]] Seras even complains about Integra getting pissy on Mondays.
