** This is because the two shows share a creator/co-creator - Josh Schwartz. There is also an episode where they have to channel flick and identify TV shows as quickly as possible. It's very quick, but Morgan says "Season 2 of The O.C, a really underrated show" at one point.

** The funeral scene in the same episode also seems to reference [[http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFhD7dnqEbg this scene]] from the Cary Grant Audrey Hepburn movie {{Charade}}, where a group of four people agreed to steal gold when part of the OSS in World War II. When one of them died, the others at his funeral each tried to make sure he was dead. One sneezed on him, one held a mirror to his nose, and the other (in the exact same manner as Chuck) stuck a pin in him.
