History ShoutOut / DuckTales2017

* Pei Pei, a masseur[=/=]bouncer in the House of Lucky Fortune, is a large, fat anthropomorphic panda who resembles Po, the protagonist of the ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' franchise.

* As a prison that grants your every wish and where you win every game every time, the House of Lucky Fortune strongly resembles [[{{Hell}} a certain place]] as depicted in ''[[Series/TheTwilightZone1959 The Twilight Zone]]'' episode "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS1E28ANicePlaceToVisit A Nice Place To Visit]]." Of course, it's not that the games are rigged in Gladstone's favour; he's just that lucky.

* As per WordOfGod, Doofus is inspired by Anthony Fremont from ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'' episode "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E73ItsAGoodLife It's a Good Life]]".

* Posters on Donald's bedroom wall include duckified versions of Music/{{Weezer}}'s ''Music/WeezerTheBlueAlbum'' and Music/{{Nirvana}}'s ''Music/{{Nevermind}}'' cover art (with an egg taking the place of the baby).

* Beaks's [[spoiler: TransformationSequence into Waddleduck 2.0]] is taken straight from ''Anime/SailorMoon''.

* [[spoiler: Scrooge's Board of Directors being F.O.W.L. all along]] brings back memories of [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier Hail Hydra]].

* The scenario Launchpad describes, with the monsters suddenly taking over Duckburg, is similar to ''Film/EvilDead''.

* Gyro using TimeTravel and getting stuck in a town in the Old West, where he gets involved in a train heist, recalls ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII''. Goldie also says "Follow me for the key changes and try to keep up", quoting the [[Film/BackToTheFuture first film]] of the same franchise.

* The monsters in the episode are wearing costumes based on the antagonists of famous horror movies. The werewolf is dressed as a MonsterClown resembling Pennywise from ''Film/{{It|1990}}'', the vampire is dressed as a puppet like Billy from ''Jigsaw/{{Saw}}'', the witch is dressed as a StringyHairedGhostGirl climbing out of a well similar to Samara from ''Film/TheRing'', and the FrankensteinsMonster wears a striped shirt similar to Freddy from 'Film/NightmareOnElmStreet''.

* The photo of Mark and Boyd at the aquarium has the former wearing a hat resembling the jellyfish from ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' and the latter a hat resembling [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid Flounder]].

* When first swimming among the Mervanans, Webby says, "[[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid Look at this stuff! Isn't it neat?]]"

* The way Louie shouts out "No-no-no-mineminemine!" while chasing the dime into the Money Bin sounds an awful lot like WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck from the Creator/WarnerBrothers cartoon "Ali Baba Bunny" (specifically the scene where he's trying to stuff the genie back in the lamp, mistaking him for a competitor to the wealth he and Bugs found).

* Della begins checking for traps and comes across a stapler, which she hits, causing it to disgorge a paperclip. She then hits it three more times after Scrooge says, in a deadpan tone mimicing [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Principal Skinner]]: "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsWhoShotMrBurns Please don't waste those]]"

* As can be expected there are references to numerous films in the Franchise/JamesBond series. The episode's theme song "I'm Just Not Good Enough" sounds similar to "The Writing's On The Wall" from ''Spectre''. The scene where Launchpad and Steelbeak play baccarat recalls ''Film/CasinoRoyale'' while the speedboat chase is a nod to ''Film/LiveAndLetDie''. Launchpad and Steelbeak having a fight over a satellite dish is likely a reference to ''Film/GoldenEye''.

* While Ma Beagle and Glomgold are dressed as an old-timey debutante and a Roman emperor as their costumes, Mark Beaks is dressed in the same black-strapped yellow coat as [[LightNovel/OcculticNine anime protagonist Yuuta Gamon]].

* When Webby exclaims "UNCLE Scrooge?" in her room, to her left is a toy dog that resembles [[{{WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle}} Mr. Peabody]].
* Two of Glomgold's henchmen are brothers named [[{{WesternAnimation/ReBoot}} Hack and Slash]].

* At the end of the episode, Magicka takes over Lena's body and asks the following question: ''"Where do you keep the sharp knives?"''. People who played the videogame ''Videogame/{{Undertale}}'' a certain way won't fail to notice some similarities...

* Magica de Spell's outfit looks a lot like Raven's from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''. Furthermore, her green skin is likely a reference to [[Film/TheWizardOfOz another famous evil witch]].

* The cowboy and cowgirl look like [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Woody and Jessie]].

* Ponce's pointed snout, dark mane, protruding claws, and manipulative nature bring to mind [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing Scar]]. He's also a scrawny, yellow-furred, anthropomorphic lion similar to [[WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973 Prince John]].

* One of the sound effects on Daft Duck's keyboard is a very familiar "[[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Oh yeah!]]".

* Storkules flies after spinning Louie around, like how ComicBook/{{Thor}} can fly with Mjolnir.

* Ponce's pointed snout, dark mane, protruding claws, and manipulative nature bring to mind [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing Scar]]. He's also a scrawny, yellow-furred, anthropomorphic lion similar to [[WesternAnimation/RobinHood Prince John]].
* When Goldie and Scrooge discover what they think is the fountain, Rockerduck interrupts them with the same line Belloq used on Indiana Jones in the opening sequence of ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''. Ponce's death by RapidAging is also very similar to Donovan's in ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade''.

* In Launchpad's flashback, there is a kid dressed up as [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan Captain Hook]] and another dressed up as [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Quasimodo]].

* Dewey's dream seems to emulate ''Film/HighSchoolMusical'' with him shooting basketballs and singing because that's what he believes teens do.

* Lunaris's attempt at space travel involved, basically, a large gun that fired the passenger at the earth. The same device was used in ''Film/ATripToTheMoon'' to make the opposite trip.

* [[spoiler: Scrooge's Board of Directors being F.O.W.L all along]] brings back memories of [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier Hail Hydra]].

* After the F.O.W.L agents corner the Duck family, Steelbeak mentions how their "[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure bazaar adventure]]" is over, quickly covering it up with the fact [[DontExplainTheJoke they were at]] [[{{Pun}} a bazaar]].

* The audience break out into an impromptu version of the main riff of [[Music/NewsOfTheWorld "We Will Rock You"]] by banging on the bleachers.

* Louie appears to have a sticker of [[https://www.wowhead.com/item=49623/shadowmourne Shadowmourne]], a legendary axe from ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', on the back of his laptop.
