[[folder:Advertising]]
* In the New York area, there's a store called B&H, whose advertisements involve [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey a guy named Dave and a robot named Hal]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWn8cyUMDbg This Caesars Palace commercial]] ends with the narration, "[[Film/StreetFighter What you call the greatest day of your life,]] [[ButForMeItWasTuesday we call 'Tuesday'."]]
* There's a Honda advertisement that uses the opening to the Waldstein Sonata by Beethoven.
* Some advertising for ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes'' referenced ''Series/TheATeam'' quite heavily, such as [[http://info.sonicretro.org/File:Sh_USAAdvertisement2.jpg a magazine ad]] aping the famous opening narration or the (now-defunct) [[http://web.archive.org/web/20040725042952/http://www.toughteam.com/uk.html website]] using a [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong slightly changed]] snippet of the theme.
* Trojan Condoms: In ''Literature/TheAeneid'' the Greek army gets into a giant horse, which gets through the enemy's defenses. Men inside a horse, inside the enemy's walls. Pure FauxSymbolism. [[AnalogyBackfire And then, after penetrating the enemy fortress, the horse bursts open and all the soldiers inside start rampaging everywhere.]] They probably intended for it to be a reference to the Trojan ''Walls,'' which were so impenetrable that after ten years of keeping the Greeks out they had to resort to the horse trick, but that's not where peoples' minds end up going.
* Advertising billboards for a flatrate internet package included ''{{VideoGame/Doom}}'' HUD as seen [[http://urbanprankster.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/4165263121_904e1834291.jpg here]] and [[http://youvert.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c678153ef0133ecb51003970b-800wi here]].
* A Filipino snack ad best described, as one comment put it, as "SACRILEGE TO [[Manga/LuckyStar LUCKY STAR]]." In terms of character designs, ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' wasn't spared either.
* A commercial for ''VideoGame/VirtualBoyWarioLand'' ended with Wario saying "[[Film/Batman1989 Wait till they get a load of me!]]"
* A Capital One commercial for Christmas 2020 has Santa—played by Creator/JohnTravolta—finishing gift shopping for his elves when pitchman Creator/SamuelLJackson video-chats in and points out a coupon app. In addition to a reference to Samuel's profuse cursing, there are several references to ''Film/PulpFiction''. Samuel is wearing a sweater that says "Happy Holidays With Cheese", and the extended commercial ends with Santa Travolta doing his dance from the film. ([[WhatCouldHaveBeen Unfortunately]], Creator/UmaThurman did not play Mrs. Claus.)[[invoked]]

* Creator/JohannesVermeer managed to do this with ''paintings''.
** Dirck van Baburen's ''[[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/The_Procuress.jpg The Procuress]]'' appears as a painting on the wall in two of Vermeer's paintings, ''[[https://vermeer0708.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/vermeer_the_concert-1.jpg The Concert]]'' and ''[[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/67/Johannes_Vermeer_-_Zittende_Klavecimbelspeelster_%281673-1675%29.jpg Lady Seated at a Spinet]]''.
** Jacob Jordaens' ''[[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/01/Crucifixion_by_Jacob_Jordaens.JPG Crucifixion]]'' appears as a painting on the wall in Vermeer's ''[[http://www.snipview.com/q/The_Allegory_of_Faith Allegory of Faith]]''.

[[folder:Magazine]]
* ''{{Magazine/Analog}}'':
** In the [[Recap/Analog1939 October 1939 issue]], Creator/HaroldALower begins his nonfiction article "Hunting Big Game" by thanking Dr Zwicky for allowing them to use information on supernovae data published in ''Astrophysical Journal''
** In the [[Recap/Analog1939 October 1939 issue]], Creator/WillyLey's nonfiction article "Earth's Second Moon" references Creator/JulesVerne's ''Literature/RoundTheMoon'' (and ''Literature/FromTheEarthToTheMoon''), even quoting part of it, because it Verne was inspired by Frederic Petit's calculations of a captured satellite around the Earth.
** In the [[Recap/Analog1939 October 1939 issue]], Creator/WillyLey's nonfiction article "Earth's Second Moon" references ''Literature/GulliversTravels'', which predicted that {{UsefulNotes/Mars}} would have two moons.
** The [[Recap/Analog1941 January 1941 issue]] "Book Review" column reviews ''Literature/LifeOnOtherWorlds'', a NonFiction book that explains how non-terrestrial life might look based on modern scientific knowledge.
** The [[Recap/Analog1941 March 1941 cover]] includes the ''Art/StatueOfLiberty''.

[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
* ''Series/BearInTheBigBlueHouse'':
** In "I've Gotta Be Me," Bear dons a grayish sweater and tells us that "[[Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.]]" Some familiar music plays and he suggests that maybe he should get a pair of sneakers.
** At one point in the episode "Let's Get Interactive," Bear is looking for dirt, water and seeds to help solve a puzzle. He says "You know, these things would be a lot easier to find if we had a couple of guides to help us" and then Pip and Pop show up. When he says this, closed-captioning reads "[[WesternAnimation/BluesClues You know, these things would be a lot easier to find if we had a little blue dog to help us.]]"
** At the end of "I've Got Your Number," Luna states that "numbers go on and on forever, [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory to infinity and beyond]]!"
** [[https://www.mixcloud.com/djbobshow/the-dj-bob-show-a-berry-bear-reunion-christmas-at-the-big-blue-house/ According to this,]] the "What If?" song from "A Beary Bear Christmas" was patterned after the film ''Film/ItsAWonderfulLife'', down to it being presented in black-and-white.
** In "A Wagon of a Different Color," after Ojo, Pip and Pop reveal the newly painted wagon, Ojo says that she thinks it has every color in the world. Bear says that it does and Pip and Pop comment "And we helped!" in a manner that seems very reminiscent of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB7j3sUWohE classic Shake 'n Bake commericals.]]
** One of the episodes is titled "The Great Pretender," which is a golden oldie by the The Platters.
* ''Series/StrangeHillHigh'': The audio-visual room, the most feared room in the school, is located in [[Literature/NineteenEightyFour Room 101]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Theme Parks]]
* {{Ride/Disneyland}} is full of these to former attractions. To whit:
** In The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, just as you leave the Heffalumps and Woozles part, if you look behind you, you can see three trophy heads - Max, Buff, and Melvin, from the attraction that once occupied that spot: Country Bear Jamboree. In Florida, at Walt Disney World, turning around at the right moment you will be able to see a picture of Mr Toad handing over a deed to Owl as an homage to Mr Toad's Wild Ride which used to occupy that space.
** Somewhere in the projector room in the queue for Indiana Jones Adventure, there is an Eeyore sign[[note]]At the very top, in the back of the room; best spotted if you turn around just before you leave the room and look back and up[[/note]] - that spot used to be the Eeyore section of the old parking lot.
** In Autopia, there's a bronzed Midget Autopia car, referencing the long-gone attraction.
** Swiss Family Treehouse, based off of the movie Swiss Family Robinson, once occupied the spot where Tarzan's Treehouse is now. A gramophone in Tarzan's Treehouse still plays the Swisskapolka
** The Mighty Microscope from ''Adventure Thru Inner Space'' is still there - you can see it across from a mechanical arm that almost hits the Starspeeder 3000 in ''Star Tours'' and the comet scene pays a subtle nod to the snowflakes from ''Adventure''.
*** The new ''Star Tours'' once again features the Mighty Microscope on left hand side of the screen in a lit corridor just before the Starspeeder 1000 leaves the [[ThatsNoMoon unfinished Death Star 1]] through a docking bay.
** An actual engine from the Mine Train thru Nature's Wonderland sits at the edge of the Rivers of America
*** Similarly, one of the first rooms of Big Thunder Mountain is a cavern with pools of multicolored water utilizing forced perspective. This is a reference to the Rainbow Caverns section of Nature's Wonderland which partly occupied the area of Big Thunder Mountain.
** Mike Fink Keel Boats transported guests along the Rivers of America until 1997. One boat, the Gullywhumper, is moored as a prop along the rivers.
** There are ''four'' shout-outs to the House of the Future in Innoventions alone.
** The audio-animatronic critters from the old America Sings attraction were mostly moved to Splash Mountain (a lot of them are on the riverboat at the end of the ride, which can also be seen from the train between New Orleans Square Station and Toontown/Fantasyland Station). Two of the ducks from America Sings were stripped of their outer coverings and turned into the small robots in the Star Tours queue.
* [[Ride/UniversalStudios Universal Orlando Resort]]'s new water park, Volcano Bay, includes a subtle Shout Out to the resort's previous water park, Wet 'n Wild[[note]]which was not originally a Universal park, but was acquired by the corporation in 1998[[/note]]. The new park features a pair of water slides named Maku and Puihi. Maku means "Wet" and "Puihi" means "Wild" in the Maori language.
* Being famous for its mermaid show, one of Ride/WeekiWacheeSprings' regular shows is an adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid|1989}}''.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Toys]]
* The ''{{Toys/Bionicle}}'' web serials contain small references to ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'' and ''{{Film/Jaws}}''. The ''Mata Nui On-Line Game'' meanwhile hid a quote from ''Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'' in the CypherLanguage on one of the Ko-Koro temple walls and the statue from ''{{Franchise/Tintin}}: The Broken Ear'' can be seen in Vakama's hut.
* In ''Franchise/GIJoe'', the redheaded Shana O'Hara was born in the South (specifically, {{UsefulNotes/Atlanta}}, Georgia). She is, indeed, a fierce and attractive SouthernBelle. Her codename? [[Film/GoneWithTheWind Scarlett]].
* ''Toys/GoGosCrazyBones'':
** The character Jaws is made to look like the shark in the movie poster for the movie ''{{Film/Jaws}}''. The character's even named after the movie!
** Another ''Gogo's'' character, Cupix, quite clearly appears to have ''{{VideoGame/Tetris}}'' running on his screen.
* The ''Toys/StarMonsters'' series has characters in it that can go through evolution in the following fashion: A Star Monster evolves into a new Star Monster, and can then evolve into another new Star Monster from there, if possible. [[{{Franchise/Pokemon}} Sound familiar?]]

* The 2012 Berlin show "Best of Musicals" included a Disney medley with "Poor Unfortunate Souls" (from ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid''). Whilst Ariel was singing as Ursula stole her voice, the actor for Ursula shouted "Sing, my Angel of Music!" This is not in the original; it's a reference to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yrAuc3tR3A the title song]] from ''ThePhantomOfTheOpera'', where Christine sings similarly high note sequences upon the Phantom's urging.
* In the ''[=Mach20=]'' fan translation of ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom'', Kayano says that falling in love was like being "[[Music/BonJovi shot through the heart]]". (She then explains- less overtly- that [[LoveInterest Nagisa]]'s to blame.)
* ''Website/{{Neopets}}'' often has shout-outs in their item descriptions. For example, the description of a Sand Sled is [[Film/BackToTheFuture "Snow? Where we're going we don't need snow."]]
* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'', [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-261 SCP-261 ("Pan-Dimensional Vending")]]. One of the items SCP-261 dispensed was a white cake in a box labeled "TASTE ME". When eaten it increased the subject's size by 7 inches and their mass by 13.6%. This is a reference to ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'', in which Alice ate a cake with "Eat Me" written on it and grew to tremendous size.

** The "Drive-In Demolition" mode is a reference to the "Move Your Car" mode in the ''Creature from the Black Lagoon'' pinball machine.
