History ShoutOut / CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries

** Calvin, still panicking, believes that "giant Creator/StevenSpielberg-brand ''Film/WarOfTheWorlds'' tripods are going to shoot up from the ground and kill us all!!"

** And when he gets thrown at a tree, he sees [[CirclingBirdies stars, checkers, and]] [[Disney/{{Dumbo}} little pink elephants with umbrellas.]]

* [[MoralityDial Evil Jack]] (from "62 Percent More Evil") is a walking ClicheStorm, having an ExorcistHead and quoting ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'', among other things.

** Hobbes later pretends to be [[BuffySpeak "the elephant thing"]] from ''Film/LordOfTheRings''.

* 'The Spirit Room' has the gang dressing up as the various [[TV/DoctorWho Doctors]] for Halloween, with Calvin being the 7th, Hobbes being the 4th, Andy being the 5th, Sherman being the 3rd, and Socrates being the 6th. Seems to reflect their personalities a bit.

* "Pranking the Ghosts": Socrates mentions [[TheRing watching a weird video tape and then getting a call from some guy telling him he had seven days to live.]]

** "Remember that one episode of ''[[Series/TheTwilightZone Twilight Zone]]'' where-"

--> '''Socrates:''' [[Series/TheTwilightZone "Imagine if you will, a character obsessed patent attorney being hired for something that has absolutely nothing to patents! He doesn't know it, but soon this man will be pulled into the deepest regions of the Calvin and Hobbes: The Series zone! Now then.."]]

** The MTM references ''A Summer of Kings'' and ''{{Juno}}''.

'''Socrates:''' Really? Then it's my duty as a citizen of ThisIslandEarth to make up for that! To the midway![[note]]This is probably more of a reference to the ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''' [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000TheMovie movie]], which riffed ''This Island Earth''.[[/note]]

* Upon deciding to take up being a superhero in "Super Calvin", Calvin declares that he will [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants save the fifth dimension from monkey people!]]

** A panicking Calvin demands that somebody call [[Series/TheOprahWinfreyShow Oprah]], the Creator/SciFiChannel, and [[Series/DoctorWho Doctor]] [[IAmNotShazam Who]].

'''Calvin:''' [[Film/{{Ghostbusters}} GHOST BUSTERS!]]\\

--> '''Calvin:''' "[[NonSequiturThud Darkness? It is I,]] PajamaSam! [[NonSequiturThud I have come to vanquish you!]]"

* The numerous times Calvin & and the others spork movies that are proclaimed to be pretty pathetic in-universe, it seems quite a bit like ''Series/MysteryScienceTheatre3000''. They even make multiple references to it in other parts of the show.

--> '''Calvin:''' (upon several buzzers going off) ACK! [[MysteryScienceTheater3000 WE GOT MOVIE SIGN!]]
