* "[[Film/StreetFighter OF COURSE!]]"
* Linkara quoting ''Film/{{Patton}}''.
-->'''Linkara:''' Critic, you Magnificent Bastard, ''I read your'' '''''book!'''''
** Not to mention:
--->'''Linkara:''' I love it...god help me, I love it so!
* WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob quotes Creator/AlPacino from ''...Film/AndJusticeForAll''.
-->'''Cinema Snob''': You're out of order. They're out of order. This whole ''system'' is out of order!
* The Critic's announcement to Kevin Baugh of his intentions to invade and how he should just give up is so reminiscent of Wile E. Coyote's similar announcement to Bugs Bunny.
** Very likely; Doug Walker is a huge Looney Tunes fan!
*** In Spoony's commentary, he reveals that Doug describes the Critic as, essentially, a human version of Daffy Duck.
*** The Critic himself has stated this repeatedly long before that.
** Likewise, Film Brain's character seems to be a reference to Chester of the Chester and Spike Looney Tunes.
* The Nostalgia Critic phoning everyone to inform them that '''IT'S TIME''' seems to reference Palpatine's spiel in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''. Of course, it then backfires hysterically when everyone calls him back to ask him what he meant... Or to tell him the time.
* Little Miss Gamer having [[WebVideo/TheNewAdventuresOfCaptainS business to attend to]] [[WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster inside of her NES.]]
** The ShoutOut further driven home by the [[Series/TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow cartoon version of Link]] appearing. Captain N did a crossover with the animated Zelda, which the Critic reviewed.
* Spoony going into battle whilst wielding a (rather impressive looking, whilst indoors ) Lightsabre.
** Specifically, he was deliberately using the battle stance of Starkiller from ''VideoGame/TheForceUnleashed'', but because of how the final shots were edited this was really hard to tell.
* Sean Fausz's answering machine message (to the tune of the theme from ''Series/TheGreatestAmericanHero'') is an obvious ShoutOut to George's on ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}''. (As a bonus, Critic got Sean's number from Cinema Snob, who also uses the song as his show's theme.)
* [[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheTwoTowers "There will be no dawn for Molossia."]]
* Linkara also references one of Spoony's ''Film/StrikeCommando'' reviews when he sees an explosion hit Marzgurl. Turns out she was fine, but it doesn't stop him from telling her about Disneyland and cotton candy.
*** [[Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes "Damn you, Molassia! Damn you to hell!"]]
* [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk "Don't get me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."]]
* The ending of part 2 is (right down to the music) a ShoutOut to the "I shall build a round table" scene from ''Film/{{Excalibur}}''.
** The lines about "everyone can look everyone in the eye" and "everyone's equal" double as a reference to ''A Kid in King Arthur's Court''.
* Kickassia VP Nostalgia Chick [[Series/SaturdayNightLive can see Nevada]] [[MemeticMutation from her house.]]
* [[spoiler:Cinema Snob]] is exiled like in ''Film/JudgeDredd''.
** While Linkara gives him a [[Series/RedDwarf Rimmer salute]].
* A line is taken from ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''.
--> '''[[spoiler: Dr. Insano''']]: I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.
* After the Nostalgia Critic [[spoiler:kills Santa Christ]], he gathers everyone together to wish [[spoiler:him back to life]] like in the ending of ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie'', ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'', and ''Care Bears 2''.
* Linkara, wearing a Franchise/PowerRangers communicator during the "It's Time" scene, and then going to battle alongside Marzgurl whilst wearing matching color co-ordinated masks.
** He also wears a Starfleet uniform at one point.
* Nostalgia Critic's costume, revival & speech about levitation are direct references to the [[Film/StreetFighter Street Fighter movie]], whilst Insano's use & declaration of "Shoryuken" are more a reference to the [[Franchise/StreetFighter video games]].
--> '''Dr. Insano''': ''Whatever happened to the purity of unarmed combat?!''
--> '''Nostalgia Critic''': Well this is just superconductor electromagnetism. Certainly you've heard of it. It levitates bullet trains from Tokyo to Osaka. It will levitate my rocket chair, once it finally arrives. And it also levitates... ''[[LargeHam ME]]''.
* UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} rose from the dead after three days. [[spoiler: As did Santa Christ]].
* The credits are based on Art/TheBayeuxTapestry, and one of the pictures appears to be based off a famous picture of the Gunpowder plot.
* The narrator's final summation is a nonstop IceCreamKoan of shout out after shout out, until [[spoiler:the Critic shoots him.]]
* The way WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob is ambushed in the secret meeting place by the Film Brain shouting with his thick British accent is probably a reference to the movie adaptation of Literature/NineteenEightyFour.
** You can also hear Film Brain shouting [[Franchise/DieHard "Yippie-Kiyay motherfucka!"]]
* Did anyone else feel that Nasty Wasties was similar to [[Literature/{{Misery}} dirty birdy]]?
** I thought Elmer Fudd, actually.
* TheStinger is either a shout out to ''Film/IronMan2'' or a huge coincidence given when this was filmed.
* The scene reminiscent of the first brawl.
---> '''Ma-Ti:''' "Remember your roots, Critic. Remember your roots!"
* During Rob's commentary, he notes that [[WebVideo/YouCanPlayThis Jew Wario]] deflecting the cannonball back at Baugh was their little ode to ''Film/MaryPoppins''.
* In Part 4, when The Cinema Snob asks about who's been listening to Baugh and everyone gets all shifty-eyed, if you listen closely, Linkara is whistling a snippet of his own theme music, as he is known to do. It helps that the theme is catchy, of course.
* The final scene with Baugh getting his country back was a shot-by-shot replica of the ending to ''Film/HomeAlone''. When the Nostalgia Critic reviewed this movie on the NC Reloaded DVD, he pointed it out as a reference that no one would get.
* During the LockAndLoadMontage, Paw turning on his headset sounds like the Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}' Proton Packs.
* When Critic puts Snob on trial he remarks on how he doesn't want to miss [[Series/GilligansIsland Gilligan.]] This is also a shout out to ''Film/TheAddamsFamily'' which Creator/RaulJulia, the actor who Critic is parodying as M. Bison; plays Gomez Addams who says the same line.
