* In "Decoy" (Season 11, Episode 2), Kensi mentions that the password to a computer is "[[Manga/{{Naruto}} Team8Naruto]]".

* In "Descent", Deeks is tortured by having [[TheToothHurts his teeth drilled]]. It's very much like the imfamous scene from ''Film/MarathonMan'', complete with the torturer asking him, "Is it safe?"

** When discussing cosplay with Nell, Eric mentions Franchise/SailorMoon, [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Lilith]], [[Franchise/StreetFighter Chun-Li]], and even throws in a ''[[Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona Persona]]'' reference.

** Eric objects to Joelle's presence in Ops because "[[Film/DrStrangelove She'll see]] TheBigBoard."

* "The Prince" has the criminal group ''Syndicate'' compared to the one from the Mission Impossible films.

* In episode 4 of the first season, Search and Destroy, Sam references Spock's line in [[Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry Star Trek VI]] about logic being "the beginning of wisdom, not the end".

** There's also lengthy conversations about Renaissance Fairs, the UsefulNotes/SocietyForCreativeAnachronism, and the FurryFandom.

** There's a ton of pop culture references, probably because [[Series/{{NCIS}} DiNozzo]] is [[RequiredSpinoffCrossOver paying a visit]]: he makes a twofer reference to the Lost Boys ([[Literature/PeterPan fantasy]] and [[Film/TheLostBoys horror]] versions) and refers to the Los Angeles team as the ComicBook/WestCoastAvengers -- which is kind of odd for someone who disdains the "geekier" side of pop culture that his partner Mcgee prefers to the point where he had no idea [[SelfDemonstrating/{{Loki}} who]] or [[Myth/NorseMythology what]] a dog called "Lockie" was named after. Rio mentions ''Series/KnightRider'' (he wants MagicPlasticSurgery to look like David Hasselhoff) and ''Series/TheATeam'' while one of his many aliases is [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Hiroshi Sato (or Saito)]].
