History ShoutOut / VinesauceTomodachiLife

* In Episode 53, while attempting to help Groose repair his friendship with Karl, Vinny remarks [[Film/TheRoom "You're tearing me apart, Karl!"]] (complete with accent).

* Vinny sings a bit of "[[Music/TheRollingStones Monkey Man]]" when he visits the monkey-hat-wearing Vinesauce in Episode 53.

** CD-i Link says "Well excuuuse me" when he's angry, quoting [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfZelda an unrelated incarnation of Link]].

** Wario's primary catchphrase ("aeiou aeiou"), while appearing to merely be English vowels repeated twice, is a reference to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv6RbEOlqRo a YouTube video]] featuring players of ''VideoGame/MoonbaseAlpha'' messing with its text-to-speech engine. An audio clip from that video appears in ''VideoGame/TheFantasticGame'', which Vinny had previously streamed, and Vinny showed a fan-made video featuring an astronaut from that game, along with [=BonziBUDDY=] and Microsoft Sam, visiting Vineland Island to give a lonely Vinesauce some company.[[note]]This was earlier in the series, before there were LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters.[[/note]] However, ''Moonbase Alpha'' pronounces "aeiou aeiou" as "eye-ooh eye-ooh" while ''Tomodachi Life'' simply spells it out.

* The Rap Battles on Southbird's Totally Normal Island are turned into a "Fan Fiction Spitball Corner", where the rap lines are exchanged with the drinking conditions listed on TV Tropes' [[DrinkingGame/FanFiction fan fiction drinking game]]. This leads to a few direct references to trope names.

* Vinny referenced "I Am the Walrus" a second time (specifically, the "Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye" line), adding a reference to WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd, by opening Episode 22 by saying, "It's like diarrhea dump dripping from a dead dog's eye," even commenting that it was "a cross between Music/JohnLennon and the Angry Video Game Nerd."

--> "You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little fucked up maybe, but I'm '''funny how''', I mean '''funny like''' I'm a '''clown''', I amuse you?"

** "Pizza Time" is the name of the song Ralph and Vinesauce perform when they form a band. Also, said band is called the "[[Film/TheBluesBrothers Buvvins Brothers]]".

* In Episode 51, Vinny does an impression of WesternAnimation/{{Rick|And Morty}} while giving Tingle new clothes. In the following episode, he also posits that [[spoiler:Vineschnoz came to the regular island through one of Rick's portals]].
** This continues in Episode 54, as he compares a possible ending for the series as being similar to Rick's car battery, and celebrates Vlinny going to space by playing "Goodbye Moonmen".

* Chinigan gave a shout out to TV Tropes in [[https://booru.vineshroom.net/post/view/14439search=seabiscuit this art (contains spoilers)]] of Dheerse (a Mii he created), which references [[spoiler:her eviction]] and contains the specific quote used in Dheerse's character page section (which is one of many).

* As Vinny hadn't yet given Tucker a last name when his Mii was made and there wasn't an option to leave it blank, he was given the last name Blankface, which is a reference to the person who drew the art his Mii is based on (as well as the first person to upload art of him to the Booru), [[http://vinesauce.booru.org/index.php?page=account_profile&uname=Blankfaece Blankfaece]], though it is spelled differently here.

* Gaben's presence on the island tends to lead to references to Creator/ValveSoftware, the company the real Gabe Newell helped found. For example, ''VideoGame/HalfLife'' has been referenced often, while the song from the Crowbars (Gaben's techno duo with Ben) references ''Ricochet''.

* As Vinny tells the audience about Bub Skebulba's murderous nature, he remarks that he kills people "Creator/MikeMyers style". (He meant to say [[Franchise/{{Halloween}} Michael Myers]], and only realizes his mistake when a piece of fanart makes the inevitable ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}'' reference.)
