* Paradox has the same laugh as [[WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory Mandark]], and is accompanied by the theme music to ''WesternAnimation/BatmanMaskOfThePhantasm''.
* Paradox having Mandark's laugh is also reference to the WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory movie which has a similar plot ("I am here for the one who destwoyed the future!").
* Luna [[WesternAnimation/{{ThunderCats|1985}} refering to Yusei as Lion-O and saying "Snarf".]]

* When confronting Paradox:
-->'''Yusei:''' Alright, you time-traveling screwhead! [[Film/ArmyOfDarkness This... is my SIGNER MARK!]][[note]]Doubles as a ShoutOut to The Azure Crow's own ''WebVideo/GurrenLagannTheSatire''; Kamina is fond of the "boomstick" phrase.[[/note]]
* Before Yusei goes back to Jaden's time, the Crimson Dragon says "Once you hit 88-miles-per-hour..." in an obvious nod to ''Film/BackToTheFuture1''.
* Just like the Dark Magician said AWizardDidIt.
* After doing a lot of jumping and dodging fireballs, Jaden says he's glad that he plays a lot of ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed''.
** His very first line in the movie is [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} "I'm Batman!"]]

!! General/Unsorted/Other:
* '''[[WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers "IGNORE ME!!!"]]'''
* After a Master Shake stinger, Mega Ultra Chicken, and the tag team Steves portrayed as the Mooninites, anyone familiar with ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'' can easily see that Little Kuriboh's a fan of the series.
** And then Kaiba's encounter with The Cybernetic [[Literature/AChristmasCarol Ghost Of Christmas Past From The Future]]. Pretty blatant, that.
* [[VideoGame/HalfLife2 "Wake up Mr. Muto. Wake up and smell the card games."]]
* In the Season Zero Pilot, Yugi says he would wish for Téa's panties. A reference to Manga/DragonBall and one of his earlier videos at once.
** "[[Film/SilentNightDeadlyNightPart2 GARBAGE DAY!]]"
** Disney's Aladdin got referenced as well when the puzzle was finally completed:
--> "The power, the absolute power!"
** In Episode 3 of Season Zero, the music that plays when Yugi and Joey get to Burger World is the Junes Department Store jingle from ''VideoGame/Persona4''.
* In the manga review, Creator/LittleKuriboh borrows a familiar catchphrase of [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara's]]: Our [[strike: hero]] protagonist, ladies and gentleman.
* [[Music/{{Rammstein}} The song Feuer Frei]] is played in all the chase scenes in the first movie.
* Of course, there are a few shout outs to the sequels, GX, 5D's and Zexal (or as they call it in the US, GX).
* LK has also made several parody songs, enough to qualify as an entire album soon.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86PdIKMA5Nk "I'm on a Blimp"]] has {{Shout Out}}s to VideoGame/FinalFantasyX, VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII and VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII.
* Melvin's obsession with hugs may be a reference to [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion End of Evangelion]], where, by the end, all of mankind have exploded into a sea of fuel by the dangerous combination of evil, happiness and hugs. His psychotic nature also hints that he might be aiming for this.
* "I'm staring into the distant past. It's sort of like playing ''VideoGame/EternalDarkness''."
* [[WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}} "That's my bread and butter you're]] '''''[[SoundEffectBleep (EFF)]]'''''[[WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}} ing with."]]
** In the 2010 April Fools video, the opening for the fake 5Ds Abridged Series is an homage to the show's opening, complete with the camera zooming in on Jack's mouth before the theme kicks in.
* In recent episodes, he and [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] have mutually referenced each other, culminating in each doing a cameo line in the other's video.
* [[Music/FlightOfTheConchords "Who's the Boom King? Tristan's the Boom King!"]] Shortly afterwords, Téa reprimands him for choosing the wrong time to quote awesome shows.
* "This is the perfect opportunity for a Series/{{Lost}} reference!"
** No, we're not doing that.
** Oh, come on. [[CatchPhrase Don't tell me what I can't do.]]
** Oh, okay. Maybe just this once.
** "Let's go find the Smoke Monster!"
* Crump's tendency to lick his lips and hiss is a reference to [[Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs Hannibal Lecter]].
* From the Yugi VS. Jaden rap battle: Who's the [[Music/FlightOfTheConchords motherflippin']]?.
* There's tons of references to ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' on episode 21.
** And there's another one later when Joey [[ItemGet obtains his Duel Disk.]]
** Now expanded in "Meet the Kaiba", with the full first episode with ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' quotes. They work surprisingly well.
* Marik Plays Bloodlines has "His hair looks like something out of ''VideoGame/SpaceChannel5''!"
* Kaiba almost starts singing "Friday". Luckly the camera quickly cuts away.
* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2Kje7OGrN8 a video]] [=LittleKuriboh=] made for a fanartist, Tristan punches Joey and shouts "[[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall I am a man!]]"
* Probably an [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Evangelion]] reference: In "The Other Abridged Movie," when Gary Stu finds out how long the duel between Yugi and Kaiba will probably last, his internal voiceover frantically chants "I mustn't run away, I mustn't run away, I mustn't run away!"
* In the third Music/LadyGaga parody, we get this exchange:
-->'''Bakura:''' [[Film/TheAvengers2012 I have an army]]!
-->'''Pharaoh:''' [[Film/TheAvengers2012 We have an Exodia]].
* Marik's Evil Council of Doom #5 has a [[Film/{{Spaceballs}} villain in a dark helmet who gets caught playing with his dolls.]]

* One Stinger takes Yugi's duel with a brainwashed Bandit Keith for a ride:
-->'''Yugi''': Show yourself!\\
''(Keith reveals his face under the hood)''\\
'''Keith''': '''''[[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon IT'S ME, AUSTIN!]]'''''\\
'''Yugi''': [[Wrestling/JimRoss Aw, son of a bitch]]!\\
