* During the recap on ''ComicBook/PlanetHulk'' at the start of ''ComicBook/WorldWarHulk'', Linkara does a HulkSpeak version of the opening of ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'' and when the caption's says that the Hulk never forgot "the real monsters", quipping they're [[WesternAnimation/AaahhRealMonsters Ickis, Oblina, and Krumm]]. And of course, given he's a well-established ''MysteryScienceTheater3000'' fan, the reason the Illuminati shot the Hulk into space was so they could make him watch cheesy movies and monitor his mind.

* In his Let's Plays of ''VideoGame/PokemonZetaAndOmicron'' he names a Zebra-like pokemon [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Zecora]] in a desperate attempt to appease the [[UnpleasableFanbase the My Little Pony Fans.]] This leads to an unintentionally humorous moment, after taking a closer look at the Pokemon and discovering that it's male, unlike the ''female'' character he's named after. Though Linkara is not bothered to much, as he felt Zecora could work as guys name too.

Quite relevant to Harvey's journey here.
