* His [[http://www.animeland.com/news/voir/3975/Le-JOUEUR-DU-GRENIER-en-DVD first DVD]] is themed after the classic ''[[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]]'' trilogy: the cover resembles the [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog first game's]] European cover, the DVD menu is a parody of the [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2 second game's]] title screen with [=JdG=]'s theme recreated with the game's soundfont, and the episode selection menu looks like the [[VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles third game's]] data select menu, complete with a SuspiciouslySimilarSong.

* The first video, about ''Pokémon Red'', includes yet another homage to Les Inconnus, about the "real hunter and fake hunter".

!!''Club JDG'':

* The first video, about ''Pokémon Red'', includes yet another hommage to Les Inconnus, about the "real hunter and fake hunter".[[note]]"A fake hunter, when he sees prey, he shoots it, no questions asked! A real hunter, when he sees prey, he shoots it… but… he's a real hunter."[[/note]]

* The ''Film/Terminatior2'' review has Fred pointing out how stupid it is that you have to look for John Connor's address and imagines the T800 just asking adult John where he lived where he was a kid. John answers "48, rue de la Boustifaille", which is a stealth reference to François Pérusse's parody of James Bond in ''Les Deux Minutes du Peuple''.

* During the ''Ghosbusters'' episode, Grenier ponders who could be the guy who's insisting on putting a long, boring and very difficult part with no relation to the original work in every adaptation game. Said guy (played by Seb) is then seen removing his LatexPerfection mask to reveal... Film/{{Fantomas}}!

* The first video, about ''Pokémon Red'', includes an homage to a very well-known (for French people) sketch from the comedic trio "Les Inconnus".

** When he states that at first glance, the SNES version doesn't look so bad, suddenly [[Franchise/AceAttorney a speech bubble saying "HOLD IT!" (or rather, its French equivalent) pops up]], and the scene cuts to Fred disguised as Phoenix Wright, slamming on the desk and GivingThePointerFinger.

** The ''VideoGame/DrakeOfThe99Dragons'' segment features an ''{{VideoGame/Overwatch}}'' Play of the Game segment (as Reaper).

-->'''[=JdG=]:''' Don't you have a glass of water?

** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twv9aqgCo6w ending song]] "Recipe to Make a Rotten Game" is a pastiche of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c06uNMoeUbc the Arsenic Cake song]] from the French animated film ''[[ComicBook/{{Asterix}} Astérix and Cleopatra]]''.

* The whole ending of the ''Airwolf'' video is a spoof of the pilot of ''Anime/{{Ulysses 31}}'', a franco-japanese anime.

* The Disney games review features parodies of various Disney songs, like "Be Our Guest" from ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'', "Hakuna Matata" and "Be Prepared" from ''Disney/TheLionKing'', and "When You Wish Upon a Star" from ''Disney/{{Pinocchio}}''.
* From the same review, the parody of "Hakuna Matata" features a shout out to the famous scene from ''Film/DrStrangelove'' where Major Kong is riding an atomic bomb.

* 2nd FAQ video:

* The ''President 2012'' test has him explain what he could have done with 1 euro instead of buying the game, culminating in his becoming the emperor of the solar system, represented by everyone's favorite GodEmperor [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} of Mankind]].

* The intro of the BeatEmUp video parodies the intro of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie''.

** The review itself starts off with a parody of Pilaf's wish scene. Fred summons Shenron and pondering what he could wish for. Just before he could say his wish (a Wii, an Xbox 360 and a PS3), Seb says aloud that he would like to play ''Dragon Ball'' on NES, messing up the wish just like Oolong messed up Pilaf's wish for world domination.
