  • The episode is almost entirely dedicated to Saw.
    Yami: You've got to be kidding me.
  • In the same episode, Yami starts listing spoilers because the villain is an obvious fan of plot twists. He's cut off by a title card, but 3 are heard that sound oddly familiar...
    Yami: SNAPE KILLS D
    [many spoilers later...]
    Marik: What is a man?! A miserable pile of secrets! But enough of this...! I'm out of here.
    Yugi: Come back here, and take your henchman with you!
  • In also the same episode, the opening and the closing theme of said episode is a reference to the theme song of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

Episode 52:

  • Kaiba says "Come at me bro." (a shout out to the Rooster Teeth Podcast)
    • Somewhat unrelated, but bonus points to those who are familiar with the term "lad" in an Australian setting.
    • Just before this(as he's picking up the pipe), Kaiba says "Grabbin' a pipe!" which is most likely a Left 4 Dead reference.
  • The Star Wars shout-outs continue on:
    Evil Tristan: "The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner. Now I am the guy kicking your ass with a stick."
  • Joey's tackle attack sounds a lot like Pikachu's Volt Tackle.
    Yugi: Quick, Joey. Use tackle!
    Joey: Joeyjoeyjoeyjoeyjoey Joey JOEY!
  • When Evil Tristan rides out of the garage on a motorcycle we get a shout out to Tristan's Japanese name, Hiroto Honda.
    Joey: Is that a Honda? (Questioning the motorcycle Evil Tristan is riding)
    Yugi: No, his name's Tristan.
  • "Let me guess, you're one of Noah's seven evil ex-boyfriends."
