Shout Out is when a work references another work that is not connected, with Company Cross References being a sup-trope for when the two works happen to be under the same ownership. References to DC heroes and DC Comics events here would fit more under Mythology Gag.


* There are plenty of shout-outs towards other DC heroes, mainly Aquaman, Flash, Superman and Batman.



* In "Doom Patrol Patrol" one of the trophies Mento has in his collection is Wonderwoman's Godkiller sword.



** While talking to girls on Social Media, one of them asks Vic to say [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003 Booyah!]] because it's his catchphrase. Vic is completely perplexed on this, since as far as ''this'' show goes [[HangingALampshade he hasn't actually said it.]] GRID then confirms he's said it 31 times since becoming a superhero.



* The entirety of "Sex Patrol" is a huge nod and homage to Film/GhostBusters1984.

** The brief flashbacks we see of Charles and Edwin's backstories are visual references to "Seasons of Mists" (the story in which they premiered) from ''ComicBook/TheSandman'', with Charles being shown forced to take a dip in a freezing lake (which contributed to his death in the comics), and Edwin being chased through an endless hallway by an unseen pursuer (which was how he described Hell in the comics.)
** Charles namedrops [[ComicBook/TheSandman Death]], telling Larry she wasn't that bad. He also mentions that she's "super fit", likely a reference to the fact that she was wearing workout clothes when she first came for him.



* In "Subconscious Patrol" the Underground Avenue is clearly a nod towards Series/SesameStreet, {{Muppet}} and all. Jane even namedrops Series/CaptainKangaroo and Creator/JimHenson.
