1* After Rigby defeats the Destroyer Of Worlds in "Just Set Up The Chairs", it turns into [[VideoGame/PacMan a pair of cherries that gives him 100 points.]]
2* In Death Punchies, Mordecai and Rigby play [[VideoGame/DigDug an 8-bit game that involves two players with a shovel and a pickaxe.]]
3* The system Mordecai and Rigby play on some episodes looks uncannily like a UsefulNotes/SegaMasterSystem, right down to the controllers. It's very obviously just a Master System with the name politely avoided. The episode "Over the Top" even featured ''VideoGame/GuitarHero''-like controllers with Master System controllers inserted into them and the use of the KonamiCode to avoid bottles thrown by angry concert attendees.
4** One episode explicitly show the box art of one game, and confirms that it is a Master System (all Master System games have the same white grid background).
5* A Death Punchies Shout Out: When Mordecai Death Jumps out of the lava pit with Rigby, the position he flies in is obviously a shoutout to Franchise/{{Superman}}.
6* The episode "Meat Your Maker" has a StealthPun CastingGag version of this with Creator/TimCurry voicing an anthropomorphic hot dog, it also counts as an ActorAllusion, as he's known for portraying the role of Dr. Frank-n-Furter in ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' (the orignal one not the remake).
7* "The Unicorns Have to Go" features a delinquent unicorn dressed like Alex from ''Film/AClockworkOrange''.
8* In "Don", if you take notice of the many pictures hung up in Don's living room, especially the ones around the portrait of Don and Rigby, they are a fairly blatant homage to the work of pop artist Patrick Nagel.
9* One of the snacks made in "Rigby's Body" was a [[Film/{{UHF}} Twinkie-Wiener Sandwich]].
10* "Ello Guv'nor" was inspired by the endless number of low budget slasher films where the killer is a possessed object.
11* "High Score" features Mordecai and Rigby trying to get a high score on an arcade game, only to be thwarted by a giant bearded face. Isn't there a [[Film/TheKingOfKong famous]] VideoGame/DonkeyKong player with a bearded face?
12* Party Pete's two escorts are named [[Series/ThreesCompany Janet and Chrissy]].
13* One of the characters in "Planet Chasers Starlight Excellent" resembles Manga/AstroBoy.
14* Peeps (from the episode of the same name) ends up [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons a giant floating eyeball with exactly ten smaller eye stalks]].
15* In the episode "Benson Be Gone", after the characters are cured of being Susan clones, Susan flies out of the room in the same way as the cop from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y894QNtX0VA&t=6m45s 2 in the AM PM]].
16* In "[[Recap/RegularShowS02Ep12ButIHaveAReceipt But I Have A Receipt]]", Benson's Darthon character is [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link!]]
17** The Realm of Darthon itself is basically ''TabletopGame/WorldOfSynnibarr''.
18** One of the characters briefly seen in the book is called She-Cop, an obscure reference to a DC comics character by the same name (Who later appeared in Creator/TomKing's ''Danger Street'').
19* In the episode "This Is My Jam" the battle between the park members and the Summertime Lovin' Cassette is a reference to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf5Oc4kb23k battle between Egg Shen and David Lo Pan]] in [[Film/BigTroubleInLittleChina Big Trouble In Little China]].
20* In "It's Time", Mordecai & Rigby play a game similar to VideoGame/DoubleDragon, and it even has the twist ending.
21** The trailer for Zombie Dinner Party has a large amount zombie arms breaking through a wall much like in Creator/GeorgeARomero's ''Film/DayOfTheDead1985'.
22* Future!Mordecai says "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Future%27s_So_Bright,_I_Gotta_Wear_Shades The future's so bright,]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qrriKcwvlY we gotta wear shades]]."
23* The game "Broken Bonez" seems to be a reference to ''VideoGame/ExciteBike''.
24* A woman dressed as Celty from ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'' can be seen during the costume party in "See You There."
25** Another person is dressed up like [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Ice King]].
26* The movie in "Grave Sights" is a huge homage to horror movies. Mordecai tries to rent an Italian film called ''[[Film/Suspiria1977 Libraria]]'', ''Zombocalpyse'' strongly resembles ''Film/ArmyOfDarkness'' complete with Creator/BruceCampbell lookalike hero, the cover art of ''Zombocalypse'' resembles ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'', the shot of the zombies reanimating in their graves looks similar to ''Film/TheReturnOfTheLivingDead'', and the concept of a movie creating zombies might be a reference to ''Film/{{Demons}}''.
27** And on the video game side, the ultra-strong zombie at the end is similar to the Tank from ''VideoGame/Left4Dead''.
28** The zombie chick who almost bites the main character before Rigby bumps into the projector might be a nod to the "horror hags" from the original ''Film/TheEvilDead1981''.
29* In "Really Real Wrestling", Fourarmageddon slapping Mordecai and kicks Rigby while asking 'Is this fake?' due to them claiming it as such is a ShoutOut to the infamous 20/20 interview where David Schultz slaps John Stossel twice for claiming ProfessionalWrestling to be fake, asking him was the slap 'fake' each time.
30* Fourmageddon and the snake/lizard wrestler seemed to be based off of [[Franchise/MortalKombat Goro and Reptile.]]
31* In "Muscle Woman", Mordecai and Rigby are chased by Muscle Man's ex-girlfriend, [[Franchise/JurassicPark complete with a shot of her in the rear view mirror and Rigby saying "Must go faster!"]].
32* "Over the Top" to the Creator/SylvesterStallone movie of [[Film/OverTheTop the same name]] and premise.
33* Death says "Your soul is mine!", Shang Tsung's CharacterCatchphrase from ''Franchise/MortalKombat''.
34* Death on a motorcycle. That's a ''Literature/SoulMusic'' reference.
35* Death also bears an uncanny resemblance to Lemmy from the band "Music/{{Motorhead}}", right down to his accent and the two moles on his left cheek.
36** When he's not wearing his jacket, he's dressed strikingly similarly to [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} Equius Zahhak]], as well.
37* Two of the main characters of ''WesternAnimation/TheProblemSolverz'' can be seen in the background in 103.
38* During the sequence in "Grilled Cheese Deluxe" set to "Lies" by the Thompson Twins, there is one shot that closely resembles that song's music video.
39* "More Smarter" has Rigby dream about solving the "Hardest Math Problem in the World." This scene is taken almost directly from ''Film/{{Rushmore}}'' and even has similar music. The composer for both Regular Show and Rushmore is Mark Mothersbaugh -- meaning he had to write a knock-off of his own piece.
40* Same episode: One of the answers in Rigby's crossword is "Algernon." Not the first time [[Literature/FlowersForAlgernon that name]] and [[FlowersForAlgernonSyndrome this plot]] have been seen together.
41* In "Go Viral", you can see Antoine Dodson of [[invoked]][[MemeticMutation Bed Intruder]] fame on a screen in the Internet Warden's prison.
42** And at the end, when Mordecai and Rigby are gloating over winning their bet, you can see WebVideo/TheTourettesGuy in the crowd of people with them.
43** You can also see the Peanut Butter Jelly Time banana when everybody is escaping.
44* The "lamest, cheesiest, most repetitive song ever" includes lyrics such as "[[Music/RebeccaBlack partyin']]".
45* Skunked is one to ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk, with a pan to Rigby's eye when he changes and the change to a stronger berserker form triggered by rage, not to mention the regular person being horrified by his actions as his other self.
46* "His body has been blown to bits of [[Creator/CarlSagan star stuff]]."
47* During the chase scene near the end of "[[Recap/RegularShowS02Ep21TheNightOwl The Night Owl]]", the museum security guard on the far left looks a lot like one of the Twins from ''WesternAnimation/{{Superjail}}''.
48* During the movie theater scene in "Do Me a Solid", the first scene of the movie we see is a Peewee Herman look alike that says "[[Film/PeeweesBigAdventure You have a telephone call at the front desk.]]"
49** The same episode features a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbsSeVr5NSI Shake Weight]] commercial.
50** "Do me a solid" itself is a shout-out to Series/{{Seinfeld}}.
51* In the blonde episode, Mordecai goes to a department store called Mervington's, an obvious shout-out to the defunct Mervyn's department store chain of California.
52** Earlier in the same episode, one of the items of clothing scattered around the living room resembles [[WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball Gumball's sweater]]
53* In "Stick Hockey", Mordecai and Rigby face Chong, a character who looks virtually identical to the villain Tong Po from the 1989 Jean-Claude Van Damme movie ''Film/{{Kickboxer}},'' in a Stick Hockey game to the death. This sequence strongly resembles the climactic fight scene of the movie. He's also named after Chong Li from ''Film/{{Bloodsport}}''.
54** I'm not sure if this is a coincidence or not, but at the beginning, Benson steps in gum, just like [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants Squidward]] in "Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful". He gets way less mad about it though.
55* "Skips Strikes" contains several lines from ''Film/TheBigLebowski'' including "Yeah, that's just your opinion man" and Rigby and the villains proclaiming each other to be out of their element.
56* The Halloween Special has at least ''two'' references to J.G. Quintel's old NSFW student film WebAnimation/TwoInTheAMPM: The cop and the fart gag. Might be because 2 in the AM PM takes place on Halloween.
57** The entire "Terror Tales of the Park" series is an homage to ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'''s ''WesternAnimation/TreehouseOfHorror'' series, as they both are Halloween specials, had aired more the next year after, use roman numerals, have 3 horror segments, and are 30 minutes long.
58* The episode "Bet to be Blonde" opens with Mordecai and Rigby playing a game very similar to ''VideoGame/ElevatorAction''.
59* The [[Franchise/StarWars Death Star]] has Kanye Shades now.
60** Which has a transport system similar to the movie ''Film/TheyLive''.
61** [[Franchise/AceAttorney Objection!]]
62* The store "das coolest" is pretty much Urban Outfitters.
63* The skate park in "[[Recap/RegularShowS03Ep07CoolBikes Cool Bikes]]" was built in memory of Poseur Pete from "Skate or Die".
64** Mordecai's wears a second cool outfit that looks like [[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy Ed's]] jacket with the striped red & white shirt.
65* In "Think Positive", Benson's rage induced aura and flight resemble Son Goku going Super-Saiyan in ''Anime/DragonBallZ''.
66* In "Skips vs. Technology", the Doomageddon virus tells Techmo [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration "Prepare to be assimilated. Resistance is DUMB"]].
67** Techmo's car looks a lot like a [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture DeLorean.]]
68** Techmo is a ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}'' character, specifically an Ork technomancer, in all but explicit name.
69** [[Film/{{Ghostbusters 1984}} There is no more Techmo. There is only Doomageddon.]]
70** Techmo's name is both a ShoutOut and a case of SpellMyNameWithAnS, considering it's only [[Creator/{{Tecmo}} one letter off.]]
71** Skips destroys a computer by swinging a sledgehammer at it, a-la Apple's 1984.
72* "Eggscellent" has Mordecai pick the "I'm Eggscellent" net hat out of a bunch of different hats all reading "I'm Eggscellent" on them, similar to the climactic "choosing of the grail" scene from ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade''.
73** Later on, in "Ace Balthazar Lives", the 'knight' guarding the Eggscellent hats reappears and runs into a mosh pit, only to be knocked down instantly. His response? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DGFuHC75aY "I moshed... poorly]]"
74** At the very end of the episode, a new eating challenge is presented for a 96 ounce steak, probably a nod to the "Old 96er" from ''Film/TheGreatOutdoors''.
75* At the party in the "Gut Model" episode, Muscleman says "It's my party and I'll fry if I want to" when they try to stop him throwing things into the fryer, a nod to lyrics of "It's My Party" by Music/LesleyGore.
76* In "Video Game Wizard", there is a commercial that is an obvious reference to the Power Glove, as well as the movie ''Film/TheWizard''.
77** The kids that Mordecai and Skips compete against are even named Fred (as in [[TheDanza Savage]]) and Jimmy (which was the name of the main character in ''The Wizard'').
78** Also, the referee has the exact same hair style as [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Philip J. Fry]].
79** The game-characters that the girl play with have the same clothes as Music/{{Devo}}.
80* The local Two Peaks Mall is a reference to both ''Film/BackToTheFuture1'' and ''Series/TwinPeaks''.
81* One of the people Rigby invited to the pizza party in "Replaced" is named [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Geo Dude.]]
82** In the same episode, the hipsters who briefly get Mordecai and Rigby's jobs are named Chad and Jeremy, a likely reference to the 1960s folk duo of the same name. The glasses worn by the character Chad are also similar to the ones seen [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chad_and_Jeremy_1966.JPG in this image]]. It may have been a coincidence, but hipsters are known for listening to folk music, especially that of the '60s.
83*** Almost certainly ''not'' a coincidence. Chad and Jeremy's 1964 hit "A Summer Song" was used in ''Film/{{Rushmore}}'', which ''Regular Show'' creator J.G. Quintel has cited as his favorite film.
84* Trash Boat's outfit resembles that of ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd''.
85* In "Dead at Eight" there's a [[TomeOfEldritchLore (demon) children's pop-up book]] called ''[[Literature/TheVeryHungryCaterpillar The Hungry Hungry Soul-Sucking Deathworm]]''.
86* From "Access Denied", [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Ladonna]] uses an [[Comicbook/{{Darkseid}} Omega Beam]].
87* One of the [[spoiler:ghost truckers at the Trucker Hall Of Fame]] is a woman named [[Film/PeeweesBigAdventure Huge Marge]].
88* In "Out of Commission" cart's final words seems to be taken from [[TannhauserGate Roy's speech]] in ''Film/BladeRunner''.
89* In "Prankless", Muscle Man recites [[Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory Willy Wonka's]] nightmare-ish speech when performing the ultimate prank on Gene.
90* In "[[Recap/RegularShowS03Ep37FuzzyDice Fuzzy Dice]]", there's an arcade game called "[[VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution Dance Like A Loser 3]]".
91* Muscle Man has posters for the Music/PinkFloyd albums ''Music/TheDarkSideOfTheMoon'' and ''Music/WishYouWereHere1975'' in his trailer, in the episodes ''Prankless'' and ''Muscle Woman'' respectively.
92* Snowballs the Ice Monster greatly Resembles a Khezu from ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' right down to being in an icy cold (though temporary) location.
93* The storyline of ''"Exit 9B"'' involves the [[Manga/DragonBall junior of a previous villain opening a portal to another dimension to resurrect his father and every previous evil villain. He is stopped when the newest and youngest character helps to defeat him sucking all the villains back into the portal.]]
94* "150 Drum Kit" have Benson perform a rotating drum solo similar to Music/MotleyCrue's Tommy Lee.
95** The solo itself is VERY similar to Neil Peart’s style, including but not limited to a marimba break, polyrhythmic playing, and a gong finish.
96* In "Fortune Cookie" Benson gambles the park away to an evil sorcerer who looks exactly like David Lo Pan from [[Film/BigTroubleInLittleChina Big Trouble In Little China]]. The sorcerer happens to be voiced by Creator/JamesHong who also played Lo Pan.
97* The title of "Weekend at Benson's" is unmistakably a reference to ''Film/WeekendAtBernies'', given the [[OfCorpseHesAlive episode's premise]].
98* In "Sugar Rush", as Mordecai, Rigby, Skips and Pops race to buy a replacement set of donuts and come back to both the park and 'regular time' before the meeting set up by Benson, near the end the music and imagery seems to reference ''Film/{{Inception}}'', especially on the [[http://inception.davepedu.com blasting horns]] that start the closer the group gets back to the park.
99* In "One Pull Up", Muscle Man imitates the losing horns from ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'' when Rigby fails to do a pull up. Later, his training with Eileen is an obvious shout-out to ''Film/{{Rocky}}''.
100* Also ''Franchise/{{Rocky}}''-related is the equipment Rigby uses to get muscles really quick. It's called The Russian and references Ivan Drago's training routine in ''Film/RockyIV''.
101* From "The Christmas Special" [[spoiler: Santa, Mordecai, and Rigby]] use a [[Film/BackToTheFuturePartII hoverboard]], [[spoiler:[[Film/BackToTheFuture1 bulletproof vest and flying vehicle with flame trails]]]], and an [[Franchise/HarryPotter invisibility cloak]]
102** From the same episode, the scene where Muscle Man tries to smash the box with a hammer is reminiscent of the scene in ''Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing'' where Gimli tries to break the Ring with his axe.
103*** The box itself is much like the One Ring, in that it corrupts its users and must be destroyed in molten lava.
104* The episode where Starla and Muscle Man abstain from each other is essentially ''Film/FortyDaysAndFortyNights'' if it were a cartoon (and toned down for television).
105* When Pops arrives at Skips' house to play [[PlayingPictionary Drawesome]], he says "I got my pencil! Gimme something to write on, man!", which is from Music/VanHalen's "Hot for Teacher".
106* In "That's My Television", RG-B2's name is likely a reference to [[Franchise/StarWars R2-D2.]]
107* One can't help but think that the battle sequence in "A Bunch of Full Grown Geese" is reminded of the battles within [[Franchise/PowerRangers the Power Rangers]] series.
108* You could pretty much say that "A Bunch of Full Grown Geese" is full of references, for starters, the Mega Geese resembled the Doublas M2 from Mazinger Z, the Mega Ducks yelled out the name of his attack and shoots out a Rocket Punch similar to Mazinger Z and of of their attacks was the Specium Beam from Ultraman.
109** Another one from "A Bunch of Full Grown Geese", the Mega Ducks sorta resembled Golion/Voltron, particularly the helmet.
110** Really, the entire fight is a gigantic {{Toku}} {{Homage}} from start to finish, including referencing some rather obscure ones such as the Mega Geese using an attack very similar to [[Film/GodzillaVsKingGhidorah Mecha-King Ghidorah's]] Machine Head attack and the TransformationSequence being more akin to ''Series/DenkouChoujinGridman'' (organic being receiving a suit of PoweredArmor piloted by his human allies).
111* In the episode "Picking Up Margaret", one of the Wickets asked Mordecai to stop using his phone is the same manner of [[Film/TheWarriors "Warriors, come out to play-aaaaaay!"]]; The Wickets themselves are also patterned after many of the rival gangs in ''Film/TheWarriors'', especially the Baseball Furies.
112* The climactic battle at the end of "Trailer Trash" is pretty much identical to the climactic battle at the end of ''Film/MadMax2TheRoadWarrior'', right down to the reveal that [[spoiler: the convoy was a decoy and what the bad guys were looking for was somewhere else all along.]]
113* "Meteor Moves" has the Friend Zone, which is an obvious reference to the DC universe's Phantom Zone, particularly that seen in ''Film/SupermanII''.
114* The World's Greatest Boss is an exact lookalike of [[Film/OfficeSpace Lumbergh]].
115* The two agents in "Steak Me Amadeus" are lookalikes of [[Series/TheXFiles Mulder and Scully]].
116** The episode title "Steak Me Amadeus" is a reference to the 1984 chart-topper "Rock Me Amadeus" by Falco.
117*** The chef's name and appearance are likely a shoutout to Wolfgang Puck.
118* In "Karaoke Video", Mordecai and Rigby sing [[Music/TwistedSister Twisted Sister]]'s "We're Not Gonna Take It", and Pops sings "[[Film/{{Footloose}} Footloose]]".
119* Bring 'em Back Jack from the "Benson's Car" looks like ''Series/DogTheBountyHunter'' and his gun, V.I.C.K.I,, looks like the ZF-1 from ''Film/TheFifthElement''.
120* From "Every Meat Burritos", Barry's slow motion overreaction to whenever he is punched resembles the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzK6VN-hwhw worst movie death scene]] which originated from the 1973 Turkish film "Kareteci Kız" (Karate Girl).
121* The game Mordecai and Rigby are seen playing in "The Previous Owner" short from "Terror Tales of the Park III" is reminiscent of ''VideoGame/FridayThe13th'' for the UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem.
122** Techmo's costume at the beginning is Spike from ''Anime/CowboyBebop''. Both characters are voiced by Creator/SteveBlum.
123** Benson's costume is pretty much [[Film/DollarsTrilogy The Man With No Name]].
124** Rigby's costume is more or less resembles Robocop.
125* There is an episode called ''[[Music/TheBeatles Rigby in the Sky with Burritos]]''.
126* From Saving Time, "[[VideoGame/BadDudes Are we bad enough dudes to teach Benson a lesson?]]"
127* The moves that Mordecai uses to fight and defeat the Benson picture slides in "Bad Portrait" seem to be taken straight from ''Franchise/StreetFighter''.

129* Mordecai and Rigby are shown to have gone to [[Creator/WesAnderson "West Anderson"]] High in "Rigby in the Sky with Burrito".
130* Reggie from "New Bro on Campus" look similar to John Connor's friend Tim from ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'' (they even have the voice actor Danny Cooksey, who played him).
131* In "Grilled Cheese Deluxe" one of the spaceships in the Compound is [[Series/{{Thunderbirds}} Thunderbird 1]] [[note]]Not actually a spaceship but a high-velocity scout plane, but it looks like a rocket[[/note]]
132* In "The Real Thomas", [[spoiler: Thomas is revealed to be a Russian spy, complete with a handler.]] Said handler is named [[ComicBook/BlackWidow Natalia and her handler is called Romanoff]]. [[note]]Natalia is Natasha Romanoff's birth name.[[/note]] Bonus points for Natalia having [[Creator/LauraBailey voice actress.]]
133* In "Lift With Your Back", two of Rigby's co-workers are named Joe and Murray. Joe Murray was the creator of ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' and fellow CN series ''WesternAnimation/CampLazlo''. Another worker is named [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} "Rorschach"]].
134* The host of "Married and Broke" looks a lot like [[Series/FamilyFeud Steve Harvey]].
135* "Benson's Suit" ends with the titular suit [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay sacrificing itself by having Benson lower it into a washing machine set to a high setting so that it will not cause further destruction]]. Hell, the suit sleeve even forms a thumbs up on its way down, mimicking the iconic scene.
136* "Gamers Never Say Die" is a WholePlotReference to ''Film/TheGoonies''.
137* The ships in "Party Horse" look an awful lot like [[Anime/DragonBallZ Saiyan pods]].
138* The scene with giant laser zapping statues in "Garage Door" is a direct reference to ''Film/TheNeverendingStory''.
139* "Brilliant Century Duck Crisis Special" is a huge love letter to mecha anime, from the title and opening being references to ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', Benson suiting up in the style of ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'' and countless other references to ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', ''Anime/TurnAGundam'', and many more.
140** The mysterious long-lost brother of the ducks, Andy, bears more than a passing resemblance to [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Quattro Bajeena]].
141** The ending has a shot of a ''Tyrannosaurus'' and a ''Stegosaurus'' battling each other [[WesternAnimation/DinoRiders with weapons strapped to them]].
142* "The Lunch Club" is one 15 minute shout-out to ''Film/TheBreakfastClub.''
143* "Terror Tales Of The Park V" has Rigby dressed up as [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII M. Bison]], Eileen as [[Anime/KikisDeliveryService Kiki the Witch]], Muscleman as [[Film/EscapeFromNewYork Snake Pliskin]], Pops as [[Series/DoctorWho The Fourth Doctor]], Mordecai as Creator/BruceLee from ''Film/EnterTheDragon'', Benson as ''Literature/SherlockHolmes'', and Skips as Franchise/{{Rambo}}.
144* The end of "Win That Prize" pays homage to the final scene of ''Film/TheUsualSuspects''.
145* ''Benson's Suit'' has shoutouts to ''Film/TheTuxedo'', ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'', ''Franchise/StreetFighter'', and, oddly enough, ''Anime/KillLaKill''.
146* From "The Button", when Benson asks what would happen if the button gets pressed, Maellard responds "[[WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow Maybe something good? Maybe something bad?]]"
147* Muscle Man and Hi-Five Ghost's alter egos in "Marvolo the Wizard" are named [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV Palom and Porom]].

150* In the Latin American Spanish dub of the episode "Diary", Mordecai's admitting that he likes {{going commando}} [[{{Bowdlerise}} is changed]] to him confessing that he loves ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''.
151** Similarly, the Latin American Spanish dub of "Fool Me Twice" has Mordecai shout "[[Franchise/DragonBall Look! it's Pan, Goku's granddaughter!]]" to distract Shinehara instead of the original's "Look! It's Mt. Fuji!".
152* The title of "The Dream Warrior" is a reference to the subtitle of the third ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'' film, ''[[Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet3DreamWarriors Dream Warriors]]''.
153** In the same episode, Mordecai, Rigby, and Pops watch a parody of ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo''.

(or at the least his high-fiving hand is ET's hand)]], and Skips' three pecs is a reference to [[Film/TotalRecall1990 the memorable three-breasted hooker]].

159* When Pops and Anti-Pops take giant forms in the FinalBattle, Pops has spiky hair like a [[Manga/DragonBall Super Saiyan]] while Anti-Pops has horns and armored shoulder pads (over no shirt) that make him resemble [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Raoh]].
