Added DiffLines:

* [[TenaciousD That's fucking teamwork!]]
* Most of Scanlan's songs are takes of known songs modified to fit the situation.
* [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} "This was a triumph..." "...I'm making a note here: huge success."]]
* Randy Quaid's character from [[IndependenceDay Independence Day.]] "Hello boys, I'm baaaack!"
* Trinket might have some distant, cross-universe family in a certain book series' [[Literature/HisDarkMaterials entire species of armored bears]].
* In a Q&A session, Matt mentions that he'd like to play a bard who behaves like a conductor. The way he describes the fighting style sounds similar to [[VideoGame/TalesOfXillia Ilbert the Conductor]] - which might not be a coincidence, considering Matt voiced another character, Alvin, in that same game.
* [[DumbandDumber "You had two pairs of gloves?!"]]
* Keyleth as an Earth Elemental [[AustinPowers walking down the stairs, then takes the elevator, and rows a boat.]] much to Grog's amusement.
** Keyleth's goal seems to be a shout out to ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', which is pretty much confirmed in episode 16.
* Sam mispronounces the duergar queen's name as ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}''.
* The Water Sphere explosion in episode 7 is described as done "''Manga/{{AKIRA}}''-style".
* [[Film/BuffyTheVampireSlayer When Ashley and Laura act like they've been stabbed in the heart when Vex'ahlia was poisoned by a wyvern.]]
* Pike's spiritual spear in episode 15 is [[Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena produced from her chest.]]
* At one point in episode 16, Travis describes rolling a Natural 1 as "[[WebVideo/{{Tabletop}} "Wheat]][[WebVideo/TitansgraveTheAshesOfValkana oning"]].
** After the first few of Thorbir's many failed rolls in episode 20, Wil hoped to step in a bucket (a bit of a RunningGag in ''Titansgrave'').
* Orion and Sam slip in a reference to a certain duo of VideoGame/{{Ace Attorney}}s they voice while inspecting the Draconic script in episode 16.
-->'''Tiberius:''' See that Scanlan, this says something like 'Apollo Justice' something...
-->'''Scanlan:''' Nah, it's 'Phoenix' something.
* Part of Percy's full name references the main character of ''LightNovel/LegendOfGalacticHeroes''.
* Speaking of names, the second part of the name Vax'ildan ''might'' be a reference to one of Liam's other roles, Illidan Stormrage.
* Vox Machina decides to go after a Hydra in episode 17 when it breaks through a wall and goes through the town they're in. They follow it through a forest full of giant trees -- possibly coincidence, but this was the opposite of the Female Titan's path in ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' (another project that Matt is well known for).
* Episode 18 has a couple of subtle ''Acquisitions Inc'' references. Some think that this may lead up to Wil Wheaton's up-coming guest character, but it could have been coincidental.
** "N-n-n-nineteen!" is done twice the next episode. Episode 20 had a guest spot from Wil himself, so several of those there as well.
* "You look like someone from WebOriginal/TheGuild."
* Scanlan refers to the Two Frost Giants as [[AmbiguouslyGay Ace and Gary.]]
* Scanlan upon getting Pike out of a tight spot: [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} "Come with me if you want to live!"]]
* Tiberius, during the group's escape from K'varn's temple, after casting the "Flight" spell on several party members: [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings "Fly, you fools!"]]
* The group can't help but throw in a few references to ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' during the stealth inside the fortress.
* Unintentional, but the chat essentially [[WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats 2011}} sent Lion-O to kill Tygra]].
