* In Chapter 15, the cockroach that shows up makes a "JOHJ" sound in reference to the language of the Hyper-Evolved cockroaches from Manga/TerraforMARS.
* The same chapter features Shirogane using what he calls the "[[Manga/AssassinationClassroom Karma Akabane]] technique" of biting his tongue til it bleeds. In this case, it's used so he doesn't pass out when he sees an cockroach, rather than the pain not allowing him to be stunned like how Karma used it.
* Kaguya is holding [[Manga/HimoutoUmaruChan Umaru's hamster hood]] at the beginning of chapter 17.
* Fujiwara was playing ''TabletopGame/SettlersOfCatan'' in the beginning of chapter 29.
* Fujiwara is playing ''VideoGame/PokemonGo'' in chapter 30. The narration later in the chapter also references the lyrics of Mezase Pokémon Master.
-->'''Hayasaka:''' STOP PLAYING POKEMON GO!
* In chapter 58, Kaguya mentions that Hayasaka watches [[WebVideo/HydraulicPressChannel videos of things being crushed in a hydraulic press]].
* Kaguya's gift to Shirogane references the story of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sang_Weihan Sang Weihan]].
* The saying that "the one who falls in love loses" seems to be a reference to the heroine of ''Manga/SpecialA'', who said the same thing.
* Miko's CatchPhrase during the Election Arc was "[[UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump Make Shuchi'in Great Again]]".
* Shirogane and Ishigami are playing ''[[VideoGame/MarioKart8 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' in chapter 72, with Shirogane playing as Link.
* Fujiwara's "Love Detective" hat is the same one that Sera wore in ''ib: Instant Bullet''.
* The introduction of Kaguya's doctor plays similar to ''Manga/TeamMedicalDragon'''s "Daimyo Procession".
* At the end of chapter 86, Mr. Shinomiya is referred to as "[[Manga/TeasingMasterTakagiSan Karakai Jouzu no Otou-san]]".
* The manga has a cameo of Nusret "Salt Bae" Gökçe during Chapter 96.
* In Chapter 102, we see a LINE sticker of a bunny with a very ''Manga/PopTeamEpic''esque vibe.
* In chapter 109, Ishigami references the [=#MeToo=] movement.
* Fujiwara and her little sister get into a [[VideoGame/{{Splatoon}} Turf War]] with some young kids in chapter 2 of ''Doujin'', complete with being drawn in a way that clearly resembles Inklings.

* In chapter 149, the cast is shown playing Scotland Yard.

!!Anime

* The anime adaptation of chapter 28 references, of all things, a Trivago ad.
* When the narrator is talking about summer vacation plans in episode 10, a shot of some boys playing ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' with the Student Council as playable characters can be seen. An earlier scene also has a classic ''Series/Batman1966'' scene transition, but with Fujiwara's head on a sunflower instead of the bat signal.
* Episode 2 of the anime changes Shirogane's dialogue ever so slightly from the manga to sneak in a line from ''[[LightNovel/{{Bakemonogatari}} Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari]]''.
* Episode 8 adds in a reference to Joe's death scene from ''Manga/AshitaNoJoe'' while Kaguya is helping Ishigami study.
