Context ShoutOut / OggyAndTheCockroaches

Go To

1* Being a Xilam cartoon, it has references to another Xilam cartoon, ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGoofs''.
2** The playhouse in "Baby Doll" is the same house the Space Goofs live in.
3** In "So Lonely", Oggy whistles to their theme tune.
4** In another episode, there is a framed picture of Gorgious Klatoo.
5** In "Bitter Chocolate", a group picture of the Space Goofs, including Stereo from season 1, is framed in one of the rooms.
6** In "Night Watchmen", after Oggy and the Cockroaches fell in toxic waste and turned into goo, they crawled inside a washing machine and turned into clothes and then into farm animals and then the Space Goofs themselves.
7* And not only Space Goofs... In "Oggy and the Mermaid", Oggy encounters a mermaid and a shark who resemble Marina and Sharko from ''WesternAnimation/ZigAndSharko''. The episode's story itself is also quite similar to that show.
8** Funnily enough, the person who wrote the episode is the creator of the latter, Olivier-Jean Marie.

10* There are also other shout-outs as well:

12** In "First Flight", the cockroaches were flipping Oggy side by side on the plane (as he was literally turned into molding clay), Oggy looked like a [[WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981 familiar creature in white and blue]].
13** In another episode, Jack built a small canoe and its name was Titanic.
14** In the scuba diving episode, while the cockroaches are swimming, they discover a fish that looks a lot like [[WesternAnimation/FindingNemo Marlin]].
15** In "Keep Cool", after Jack's car is stranded on an iceberg, a ship named Titanic collides with the iceberg, little like the real Titanic (the real Titanic's side was scraped by the iceberg).
16** The name of the episode "Oggy Van Winkle" seems to be a parody of Rip Van Winkle.
17** The cartoon Oggy watches in "Cartoon Lesson", which happens to be a combination of a WesternAnimation/BugsBunny/WesternAnimation/ElmerFudd cartoon (with the personalities of the characters) and a [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner Road Runner/Wile E. Coyote]] cartoon (with the desert environment and the PlummetPerspective gag). The hunter even vaguely resembles Elmer Fudd!
18** The "Duck Soup" episode contains a scene that parodies Alfred Hitchcock's ''Film/TheBirds''.
19** In "Scaredy-Cat", Joey and Dee Dee are attempting to escape the innards of a monster by riding on the back of a dragonfly that the monster had eaten earlier. Joey reads through a book on frog anatomy to navigate and in a quick scene, [[Franchise/TheMuppets Kermit]] can be seen on the bottom left of the left page.
20** "Oggy Manga Star" [[AscendedMeme uses the memetic phrase]], "Omae wa mou shindeiru" from ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar''.
