History ShoutOut / BobsBurgers

* The laser show Bob takes Gene to in "The Laser-inth" is based on a ConceptAlbum titled ''General Insanity''. Judging from Bob's description of the plot - the titular General bans rock music, and a man named Rebel writes a song to convince the people to rise up and defeat him - it is loosely based on ''Music/TwentyOneTwelve'' by Music/{{Rush}}, with elements of ''Music/KilroyWasHere'' by Music/{{Styx}}.

* The German chef in "The Kids Rob a Train" looks a lot like [[WesternAnimation/SantaClausIsCominToTown Burgermeister Meisterburger]]... which... makes a ''[[StealthPun lot]]'' of sense, given this show...

* [=S10E10=] - "[[Film/MeetMeInStLouis Have Yourself a Maily Linda Christmas]]"

* Linda's nightmare about Gayle's animal anus paintings in "Art Crawl" is a parody of "Pink Elephants on Parade" from ''Disney/{{Dumbo}}''.

* [=S10E04=] - "[[Film/BigTroubleInLittleChina Pig Trouble in Little Tina]]"

* [=S10E02=] - "[[Music/CyndiLauper Boys Just Wanna Have Fungus]]"

* [=S09E20=] - "[[Literature/TheGreenMile The Gene Mile]]"

* During "Slumber Party", Linda gets the girls to watch a movie called ''Twincinnati'', [[Film/TheParentTrap a movie about two young, female, red-haired twins]] [[Creator/LindsayLohan who are played by the same actress.]]

* Both {{Couch Gag}}s in "Aquaticism" are references to ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill''. The building next door is Pro-Pain Accessories Dominatrix Supplies and the extermination business is Dale Gribble's.

* [=S08E16=] - "[[Series/{{Baywatch}} Boywatch]]"

* Lampshaded when Gene asks if his dad sees [[Literature/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe "a lion, a witch, or a wardrobe"]] while he's in the wall. Bob doesn't understand the reference at first. Then it dissolves into a SeinfeldianConversation...
* "[[Disney/{{Dumbo}} Butts! Butts! Butts! Butts...]]"

* "What's that, [[{{Pun}} Nag]][[Creator/AgathaChristie atha Christie]]?"

[[Ac:Season 5]]

* [=S06E12=] - "[[Literature/StandByMe Stand By Gene]]"

* "[[Film/TheGoonies The Belchies]]".
* "An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal" has a ridiculous absinthe-fueled reference to ''Anime/MyNeighborTotoro''.
** In "Lobsterfest", Louise has a plush creature on her shelf that looks suspiciously Totoro-like as well.
* "Christmas in a Car" has the Belchers [[Film/{{Duel}} being stalked by a candy-cane truck]].
* Louise's story in "The Frond Files" is a parody of ''Film/TheTerminator'', but it also includes a homage to the kitchen scene in ''Film/JurassicPark''. Gene's story in the same episode spoofs ''Film/RockAndRollHighSchool'', and before it got weirdly fetishized, Tina's was a spoof of ''Series/TheWalkingDead'', down to Tina being a deputy sheriff (actually a hall monitor, but she reasons a hall monitor is the sheriff of the school).

* "What's that, [[{{Pun}} Nag]][[Creator/AgathaChristie atha Christie]]?"

* Lampshaded when Gene asks if his dad sees [[Literature/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe "a lion, a witch, or a wardrobe"]] while he's in the wall. Bob doesn't understand the reference at first. Then it dissolves into a SeinfeldianConversation...
* During "Slumber Party", Linda gets the girls to watch a movie called ''Twincinnati'', [[Film/TheParentTrap a movie about two young, female, red-haired twins]] [[Creator/LindsayLohan who are played by the same actress.]]
* Louise in "Slumber Party":
--> '''Louise:''' Alright, you want a slumber party? [[Film/SCARFACE1983 Then say]] [[FunWithHomophones pil]]''[[FunWithHomophones -low]]'' [[Film/SCARFACE1983 to my little]] '''[[Film/SCARFACE1983 friend!]]''' [strikes Jessica with pillow]
--> '''Tina:''' [[DullSurprise Woah,]] [[AccentUponTheWrongSyllable pil]]''[[AccentUponTheWrongSyllable -low]]'' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint fight.]]
--> '''Gene:''' [[MundaneMadeAwesome It's about to go down.]] [[HurricaneOfPuns Goosedown!]]
* The town's schools are called [[Film/HorseFeathers Wagstaff and Huxley]].
** Another Creator/MarxBrothers reference: the local horse track is called [[Film/ADayAtTheRaces Hackenbush]] Downs.
* The two daughters are named Tina and Louise, as well as Linda's friend we never see is named Ginger, which is the name of Tina Louise's [[Series/GilligansIsland most famous character]].
* In the episode "Boys 4 Now," Louisa tries to bluff her way past a concert security guard with a fake Southern accent: "I'm Detective [[Series/TheCloser Brenda Lee Johnson]] and there's been a ''murder'' backstage."
* In Jimmy Pesto's Restaurant: [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay "Pasta La Vista Baby!"]]
* Gene calls himself "The Squirrel Whisperer" in one episode, a shout out to "The Dog Whisperer".

* When the kids freeze the floor on the storage freezer in "Friends with Burger Fits", Linda dresses as [[Film/MadMaxBeyondThunderdome Auntie Entity]] to referee their ice shoving matches, even calling the freezer "Freezerdome".

* ''Banjo'', the spaghetti Western series Bob and Gene become obsessed with, has many similarities to ''Film/{{Django}}'', including the ridiculous number of sequels. Though ''[[Film/TheSabataTrilogy Sabata]]'' is the one featuring a banjo-playing gunfighter.
* "Hey, [[Music/JenniferLopez Jennifer Slow-Pez]]! Get the hell out of the road!"

* The end credits sequence for "Wharf Horse" is done in the style of ''Film/JamesBond'' films.
* The scene in "Bob and Deliver", where the students stand on their desk and rip open bags of microwave popcorn, mimics both the beginning (where the students rip a chapter out of their textbooks) and the end (where the students salute the departing teacher by standing on their desks) of ''Film/DeadPoetsSociety''.

* The title of the Season Five episode "Housetrapped" [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} sounds suspiciously like a play on a certain webcomic]] (if it's not a pun on "mousetrap".)

* In "Midday Run", Tina and Zeke's exchange whilst she is chasing him is a shout-out to infamous dam scene in ''Film/TheFugitive''.

** The referee looks like Couch McGirk.
