14	* The title credits music for "The Eggpire Strikes Back" is a parody of the ''Film/MarsAttacks'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Nii8r_EqeA theme]].
15	* [[WesternAnimation/ActionLeagueNow Meltyface]], [[WesternAnimation/KaBlam anyone?]]
16	* "[[Film/TheTreasureOfTheSierraMadre Uh, Libby, I don't think they need no stinkin' badges.]]"
17	* [[Series/DoctorWho Jimmy's time traveling telephone booth]], anyone?
18	* Cindy's entire character could be a shout out to June from ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'' Let's see, bossy 10-11 year old girl with a ponytail, crush on the main boy... Or [[WesternAnimation/HeyArnold Helga]].
19	* "The N-Men", particularly Retroville's reaction, is similar to the ComicBook/XMen. Not just that, but Cindy, Sheen, Libby and Carl's powers are similar to ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}, ComicBook/TheFlash, [[ComicBook/FantasticFour The Invisible Woman]] and [[ComicBook/XMen Banshee]], well if Banshee was [[{{Gasshole}} burping]] instead of screaming. Carl's costume is also a shout out to ComicBook/PlasticMan. Jimmy was well, orange... [[spoiler:right until he turned into the [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]] with a skin design similar to [[ComicBook/FantasticFour The Thing]].]] And, think of Sheen's name idea. The [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Fantastic]] [[ComicBook/JusticeLeague League of Justice Bringing]] [[ComicBook/TheAvengers Avenging]] [[ComicBook/XMen Men]] (and two girls)!
20	** [[spoiler: Jimmy/Hulk]]'s fight against the Army tanks plays out almost identical to [[spoiler:[[{{Film/Hulk}} the 2003 ''Hulk'' movie]].]]
21	** When Jimmy turns orange, Cindy calls him an [[Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory Oompa Loompa]].
22	* Jimmy in ''Hall Monster'' is like a condensed version of ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour'', and wears a helmet similar to ComicBook/JudgeDredd.
23	* Sheen's full name seems to be a ShoutOut to actors (and brothers) Creator/CharlieSheen and Creator/EmilioEstevez.
24	-->'''Sheen:''' (as he and his friends ride down a ''T-rex'''s tail) [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones Yabba Dabba Dooooo~!]]
25	* One ride seen at Retroville in the movie has the name "[[Music/MeatLoaf Bat Out of]] [[GoshDangItToHeck Heck]]".
26	* Mr. Neutron's full name is [[Series/LeaveItToBeaver Hubert Beaumont]] Neutron.
27	* "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Sheen" has a definite air of ''Film/KungPowEnterTheFist'' (fitting since Creator/SteveOedekerk worked on both).
28	* In the HalloweenEpisode, Jimmy builds a machine that turns people into monsters. One of the monsters pictured is Music/MichaelJackson (specifically, werewolf Jackson from the ''Thriller'' video).
29	** In addition, when naming off monsters that Carl could turn into, Jimmy mentions Frankenstein. Sheen pipes in with a [[Film/YoungFrankenstein "FRAHNK-en-steen"]].
30	** Cindy dressed up as [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Muffy the Vampire Annihilator]] for Halloween.
31	** When Carl and Sheen guess what Jimmy will dress up as, Carl suggests "[[Creator/StephenHawking that smart guy with the keyboard who talks with a computer voice]]".
32	* Leppy the ''Leptictidium'' shares a color scheme with the ''Leptictidium'' from ''Series/WalkingWithBeasts''. Incidentally, this program's first scene also showed it [[AnachronismStew erroneously living in the Cretaceous]].
33	* One of Hugh's friends is named VideoGame/MaxPayne.
34	* Upon gaining superpowers, the Wheezer family replicate the canyon-jumping sequence seen in ''{{Film/Hulk}}''. Apparently, [[CriticalDissonance some people did enjoy this movie after all]].
35	** Also, earlier in the episode, Carl climbs on buildings and jumps off them, just like how [[Film/SpiderMan1 Peter Parker did after discovering his powers]].
36	* The episode where they go inside the [=UltraLord=] Videogame, has a interesting shout-out to "The Wizard and the Princess".[[note]]A largely forgotten Sierra Adventure game, which is the spiritual prequel to ''VideoGame/KingsQuestVAbsenceMakesTheHeartGoYonder'', and is even considered by many as "Kings Quest Zero".[[/note]] As the game had a infuriating puzzle, in which you had to traverse a desert find a rock, but it has to be a certain screen, or else a snake underneath would kill you.
37	* The TV Show "Intergalactic Showdown" in "Win, Lose, or Kaboom!" shares many similarities to game shows such as ''Series/FearFactor'', ''Series/{{Survivor}}'', and ''Series/WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire''. Also many of the alien TV shows Hugh watches are parodies, such as [[Series/BeverlyHills90210 Andromeda 90210]].
38	** [[Creator/TimAllen Meldar Prime]] does the "woof, woof, woof" chant from ''Series/TheArsenioHallShow'', then he [[ActorAllusion grunts]] like [[Series/HomeImprovement Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor]].
39	* In one episode, Jimmy had a robot duplicate of himself, which broke down causing its face to droop and sag like David in ''Film/AIArtificialIntelligence''.
40	* Dr. Moist's algaemen are named "Nipsey" and "Russell", after the famous comedian and frequent ''Series/{{Pyramid}}'' guest.
41	* In "The Incredible Shrinking Town", Jimmy recalls events of the week where his size was insulted. The montage is scored by a sound-alike of Music/RandyNewman's "Short People." Later in the episode, Hugh and Judy watch the animated ''WesternAnimation/GulliversTravels''.
42	* In "League of Villains", the leitmotif of the titular organization bears an uncanny resemblance to Music/JohnWilliams's "Imperial March" from ''Franchise/StarWars''.
43	* In "Jimmy On Ice" when [[ItMakesSenseinContext Carl has to sweat to bring Retroville out of an ice age]], he speeds up his running and the BackgroundMusic is very similar to the song "Maniac" from the Flashdance soundtrack.
44	* The three alien bandits are each based on [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed a celebrity]]; Tee is Creator/MrT and has a [[VerbalTic verbal tic]] of calling everyone "fool", Travoltron talks and acts like Creator/JohnTravolta (specifically his ''Film/SaturdayNightFever'' character), and Zix has a voice similar to Creator/JonLovitz.
45	* "Lady Sings the News" had a few references to New York-area newscasters-- Sheen, as sportscaster, says "Let's go to the videotape", before realizing they have no tape of the event he was talking about (so he then opts to "go to the action figures"). This was the catchphrase of NYC-area sportscasters [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Wolf Warner Wolf]]. Jimmy's greeting at the beginning of the newscast ("Here now with the news") evokes another veteran of NYC broadcasting, the infamous [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Grimsby Roger Grimsby]].
46	* In "Party At Neutrons", Jimmy and Betty dance just like Vincent and Mia respectively, from [[Film/PulpFiction Pulp Fiction]].
47	** At one point in the episode, kids can be seen dancing like the ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' characters. They recycle the dance sequence from ''WesternAnimation/ACharlieBrownChristmas'' in "The Eggpire Strikes Back".
48	* The title card to "Ultra Sheen" uses the Creator/{{Sega}} corporate font.
49	* When brainstorming for a band name in "Battle of the Bands", Jimmy suggests "[[Music/JimiHendrix The Jimmy Neutron Experience"]].
50	* In "Broadcast Blues", when discussing what could make good TV:
51	-->'''Sheen:''' [[Series/{{Seinfeld}} It's a show about nothing!]] ...Nothing but puppets!
52	* The premise of "Stranded", with a boy and a girl getting stuck on a tropical island while on unfriendly terms, eventually patching things up and even falling in love, is very similar to ''Literature/TheBlueLagoon'', apart from the sexual maturity of the characters.
53	* "Monster Hunt" has several ''Film/{{Jaws}}'' references scattered throughout, especially the beginning and the ending. The music is also similar to the film's main theme.
54	* In "Maximum Hugh", Hugh can be seen catching marshmallows in his mouth ''Film/TheMatrix'' style.
55	* In "Beach Party Mummy", upon discovering the lost tomb, Cindy suggests they should call National Geographic or Harvard, while Libby suggests Creator/HarrisonFord. After all, [[Franchise/IndianaJones he has plenty of experience]] with tombs.
56	* While underwater in "Operation: Rescue Jet Fusion", a pineapple can be seen in the background. [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants I wonder who lives there?]]
57	* In "Jimmy for President", Jimmy's campaign song - which is performed by two women - has similar lyrics and the same melody to the song "Charlie Kane" from ''Film/{{Citizen Kane}}''.
58	* The title card of "Battle of the Band" uses the font from Music/TheBeatles' Drop-T logo.
59	* "[[Recap/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGeniusS2E8SheensBrain Sheen's Brain]]":
60	** What at first seems like Sheen being experimented on in order to amplify his IQ and pass a test, results in him developing psychic abilities which include gravity wells, flight, mind-reading, precise telekinesis, the ability to fire psionic beams from his brain, and of course, [[Manga/{{Akira}} gaining a wider forehead and a God complex]]. And much like Tetsuo, Sheen eventually declares himself "Emperor" of Retroville, and if he's not kept in check, could potentially blow up.
61	* "Lights! Camera! Danger!":
62	** Quentin Smithee is a parody of Creator/QuentinTarantino, with his name a hybrid of Tarantino's and that of common pseudonym AlanSmithee.
63	** When Jimmy watches various well-known movies at hyper-speed, the quotes heard include "[[Film/{{Titanic 1997}} I'm king of the...]]", "[[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Precious!]]", "[[Franchise/StarWars May the Force be with...]]", "[[Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial Home!]]", "[[Film/ForrestGump Box of chocolates]]", "[[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack There is no try]]", "[[WesternAnimation/FindingNemo Nemo!]]", "[[WesternAnimation/ToyStory1 To Infinity and...]]", "[[Film/HomeAlone We left Kevin!]]", "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz And your little dog, too!]]", and "[[WesternAnimation/JimmyNeutronBoyGenius Gotta blast!]]". The intro to that is also a parody of the Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer logo, with Goddard in the role of Leo the Lion.
64	** The first scene in the film has Jimmy as [[Film/TheMatrix Zero, the chosen one in a computer simulation]], [[Film/{{Titanic 1997}} on a cruise ship aboard the Atlantic Ocean]].
65	** The second scene is entitled "[[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Lord of the Rugs]]".
66	** The third scene is a [[Film/{{Chicago}} jazzy musical number]] with lyrics including "[[Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}} stop that ghost]]", "[[Film/IndependenceDay halt the alien invasion]]", "[[Film/TheTerminator before the cyborg morphs]]", "[[Film/TheMummy1999 get rid of the mummy]]", "[[WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs save the seven dwarfs]]", "[[Film/{{Gladiator}} win the big fight at the Colosseum]]", "[[Film/{{Night Of The Living Dead\|1968}} put the dead guys back at the mausoleum]]", "[[Film/{{Jaws}} blow up the shark]]", and "[[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk find the ark]]".
67	** Hugh's "Donut Boy" song is a parody of the theme to ''Film/{{Shaft}}''.
68	** Cindy's character is named [[Film/ThePrincessBride Princess Butterface]].
69	** The climax of the film has the cast "[[Film/HarryPotter become magicians at Pigpimples school]], [[Film/JurassicPark1993 visit a dinosaur amusement park]], and [[Film/TheWizardOfOz rescue the Ruby Slippers]].
70	** Carl as "the evil one whose name is too hard to pronounce" is a reference to [[Film/HarryPotter Lord Voldemort]]'s alias of "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named". And Jimmy as "Perry Bladder".
71	* In "Send in the Clones", we get to see five of the clones walk down a street, past a pickup, in slow-mo. ''[[Film/ReservoirDogs And the music in the background has some pretty heavy bass as well]]''.
72	* "Doom Bringer II", the game Jimmy and his friends want to get in "Grumpy Young Men", uses the menu font from ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' in its logo and features a Cyberdemon-esque monster on its box art.
73	* Hugh's subplot in "Return of the Nanobots" is a wholesale reference to the famous ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'' episode "Time Enough at Last", where just like Henry Bemis, Hugh seemingly becomes the last man alive in the world, and deals with the despair of his situation by discovering an untold amount of his passion (pies instead of books). Hugh even directly quotes the episode after his pies are destroyed:
74	-->'''Hugh:''' It's not fair! I had all the time in the world!
75	** The nanobots chant of "Delete! Delete! Delete!" when they encounter "Extreme Error" in the episode is reminiscent of the [[Series/DoctorWho Cybermen]]. Especially when they decide humanity is an "Extreme Error" and start to KillAllHumans.
76	* In "Time is Money", when Jimmy travels back in time to the 70s, a younger Hugh is shown talking about how he loves "those three guys with the high-pitched, female-type voices" and signing along the "ah ah ah" part from [[Music/TheBeeGees ''Stayin' Alive'']].
77	* After the Junkman turns Goddard into a lamp in "The Junkman Cometh", he boasts how the kitsch value will easily net him 17 [[Franchise/StarTrek quatloos]].
